Hellbound Heart

232  Nightmare [Part III]

Sebastian had tried to ignore the wolf. He was determined to never let her get involved with him again. All for her sake.

For a long while, he never even batted an eye in her direction. Until the monster had one day arrived burning with rage and lashed out at his sisters. When Sebastian tried to fight back and stand up for them, unable to watch his siblings suffer anymore abuse from this unreasonable monster, she had mercilessly killed one of them. Sebastian had begged and cried once again but this time, the monster did not bother to listen and… killed her right before him.

The monster then blamed him for the death of his older sister and then used his youngest sister as another blackmail tool to hold him down. Though burning with anger and overflowing with resentment for the unjust murder of his older sister, Sebastian could do nothing else but gnash his teeth and swallow the curses, the pain and everything else and let them burn within him.

After that… the monster locked Sebastian with her in her chambers for the longest time ever. She usually left once morning came, but that time she did not leave. She stayed for days and nights, causing such disgust to well up in him that he felt like he was drowning in a cesspit.

It was for the longest time he had stayed in a hell made by her, that when she finally left, Sebastian was on the brink of complete insanity. In his mind, he was not even sure if he was still sane. Whatever that was left whole within him were all now cracked and damaged goods, simply waiting for the last and final blow - a blow that might even be as weak as a soft wind.

In that hopeless, breaking point, Sebastian found himself being held in the fragile arms of the werewolf girl he had been callously ignoring. Her warmth was a persistent glue desperately holding together the cracks within him that was about to fall apart.

Somehow, with that little bit of warmth afforded to him, he had held on.

He later found out from Alyssa that the monster was becoming more desperate. And she believed that it was because of something serious and things were not moving in the monster's favour.

Alyssa also revealed to him that the witch was rarely using her eyes now, which only meant that she was occupied with something else.

So, the two of them began to plan their big project. For their escape.

Sebastian was still incredibly weak. His body strength had been reduced to that of a human after all of the brutal and filthy experiments he had gone through for so long.

The monster had also never allowed him to drink normal blood. She would feed him with the blood of dead sacrifices – blood so awful and filthy that it was just not edible. They did not give him any strength at all. But it did its job to keep him alive.

So, Alyssa had offered him her blood. Sebastian refused at first but he eventually gave in and fed on her. He wanted them both to finally escape and in order for that to happen, he must regain his strength.

The day they chose to execute their plan, Sebastian and Alyssa managed to escape the innermost prison. Alyssa had killed witches in her wolf form while Sebastian worked on the thick and protected bars.

They both then managed to reach the prison where Sebastian's sister was being kept hostage.

But when they opened the prison door, Sebastian had found his youngest sister dead.

Apparently, she had been dead for a few days now and they just left her there, rotting.

Sebastian fell to his knees. And he was about to scream out his anguish but Alyssa managed to stop him. She was crying as she cupped Sebastian's face, whispering for him not to scream and alert everyone.

"We'll avenge her… we'll avenge her, Sebastian." Alyssa whispered to him repeatedly as her tears fall. That was enough to fuel to Sebastian to stand again. He picked up his weapon and stood. He stared down at his sister's body once again and made a promise before he grabbed Alyssa's hand and they rushed out of the cell.

The duo fought their way up with their lives on the line. Fighting with everything they had. They knew this was their very last chance to get out and escape from the monster's clutches. They would either come out of this dead or alive.

Until they almost there. They reached the last chambers of the dungeon. Once they get past this, they would be out of this darkness.

Sebastian gripped Alyssa's shoulders and pressed his forehead against the wolf's head and whispered.

"Don't forget our promise, Alyssa. We'll get out of here… the both of us… alive." He told her.

The wolf's hazel eyes gleamed and she nodded. However, Sebastian was too distraught and distracted by his youngest sister's death and the stress of their 13:58

escape to notice that the wolf's reaction was slow. There was a short pause before she had joined her head at his statement.

And they set out for their final battle. However, the monster returned and destroyed them both so easily. Sebastian's strength did not even stand a tiny chance against her. He had been swept aside just with a single blow from her monstrous strength.

The monster forcefully shifted Alyssa back to her human form and took control of her. Revealing to Sebastian that the young werewolf was bound to her forever and will never be freed from her snare.

"I've already warned you, my little prince." The monster had said as she held Alyssa's hair in a cruel and tight grip. "But you keep disobeying me. I told you to be a good boy didn't –"

"Please…" Sebastian's voice trembling, filled with agony. "I'll do anything… everything… I'll give you my life… even my soul… please… don't kill her…"

But the monster laughed mockingly. "You cannot give me what's already mine, my prince. This is all your fault."

And Sebastian screamed as blood spurted out from Alyssa's slashed throat.
