Xander
N ow that I know more about my scary lady’s life, she doesn’t seem so scary. Well, to me anyway. I still hope she scares the shit out of all the pussies on campus because their fear is so delicious. I don’t understand how this could have happened to her, though. Females, even human females, are supposed to be protected. I don’t even fuck with them with my magic. She talks and acts like my youngling sister and now I get it. I have to try to calm my wolf down, thinking that something like this could happen to Felicity. Mom would fucking rip the world in two if someone tried to hurt her. Why didn’t anyone do the same for Farlen?
Vashu is losing his shit. I hope her shifter healing isn’t all that good, or she’s gonna be awake soon. I look down the hall at her room. I just want to go hold her so she knows she’s safe. Connor and Fry don’t say anything. A few subtle head nods or shakes here or there. I stand up and pretend to stretch. I just want to go hold her.
“Sit down Xander, no one goes in her room without her permission,” I whine at him. Connor just shakes his head at me. “I mean it, man, it is the one place in the house that is hers. We want her to trust us and to continue to open up. How do you think she’ll react with just the little you’ve been told about her, to a man in her bed?” I whimper again and sit down.
“Vashu is done fucking up the forest. He’ll be back soon,” I tell them both. I know neither of them are shifters. Fry is an incubus who can see people’s magic or some shit like that. I don’t know much about Connor, but not a shifter. Vashu walks through the front door, his cock hanging down to his knees. Fucking dragons. I bet he doesn’t even know how to use that thing, and every girl has run away screaming when they saw the size of it. Fry rubs his face.
“I know that we have three shifters in the house, but please guys, make sure you are covered up. Trust me, we will all know when she is ready to see us naked, and that may be years from now. We don’t really know, but we are taking everything at her pace. I will warn you though, she has a habit of forgetting to wear clothes. I guess spending eighteen years chained naked clothes feel pretty strange to you.” I look at Fry, EIGHTEEN YEARS? I feel the wooden table snap under my hands. Vashu is doing some pretty heavy breathing, and the table splits in two.
“SHE WAS SIX WHEN THAT STARTED?!” I grab my phone and quickly send my mom a text.
Me: Mom, don’t ask me questions, but please go check on Felicity and tell me she’s alright.
Mom: What!? It’s the middle of the night, Xander!
I tap my fingers on the broken table. Fry seems to be waiting for something, me too buddy, me too. Come on Mom. The bubbles show up to tell me she’s writing.
Mom: She’s fine, Xander, though she’s pissed off I woke her up. What is going on?
Me: Nothing Mom, I will talk to you tomorrow, love you! Give Fel a kiss for me since she’s up!
I put my phone back in my pocket, glad that my sister is okay. I look around the table and everyone is looking at me. “What, do I have food on my face or some shit?”
“Anyway, since you guys have calmed down now, you know most of the awful shit. Some of it we are just beginning to put together, but we don’t know for sure yet. Let’s see what you guys come up with on your own after a few days around her and we will compare notes. But onto the good shit, and yes, there is some good shit. She fucking loves music, and I mean any music. I don’t think we haven’t found anything that hasn’t made her smile. She has no fucking clue what a tune is, and I swear to the Gods I could fall asleep listening to her tone deaf ass for the rest of my life. She loves bacon, hates lima beans. Please never ever get her anything with lima beans. Connor can tell you how she likes her coffee. We have a list in the kitchen of the foods she likes, those she’s unsure of, and those she hates.”
I need to see this list. I can get her all kinds of treats. She’s too skinny. Shifters shouldn’t be so small. Wait, Fry just said something that sounded important.
“Say that again, sorry I was thinking about all the food. I was going to get Farlen.” Connor laughs and nods his head at Fry. Hmmmm.
“I said, it seems like she has been dreaming about all our eyes for as long as she could remember. She has told Connor about always dreaming about us when she was asleep. She has seen no other features of us, just eyes. But from what Connor gathers, they are the only things that have brought her comfort before now. There are still three more missing matches for her. We don’t know when she’ll meet them, but we don’t tell anyone a thing about Farlen until we know if they are going to accept the bond or not. If they don’t want to accept her, get them the fuck out of here and they get nothing. You both already know about what I can do and who I am. Connor, the floor is yours now.”
Connor rubs the back of his neck. “Man, you make it sound all mysterious and shit. I’m a demigod. I have the power of telepathy. Sorry guys, I was reading your mind to make sure you were telling the truth about accepting the bond. We won’t fucking let anyone hurt her. I will try to stay out of your heads. If you see Farlen touch her head like this, and then look at me. She’s having trouble saying something, and she wants me to listen to her. I try not to listen to her, she needs to have some privacy, but Gods sometimes she screams things so loud in her head that I can’t not hear it. Uh, since we are all going to be match brothers, I guess you should all know this. My Mom is the seer Sharron.”
I’ve heard of her before. She’s a lower God, cool .
Fry looks around at everyone, “Alright well now that everyone is up to speed on this shit, we need to talk about what happened today.”
