Healer

Chapter Five

+Midday rolled around all was quiet at the Temple. Crixus personally went to Uwchlan and told him to support Kye's village. He stood fast as Uwchlan teased him about caring and such, but it was worth it to help Kye's family. The village was bestowed a new carriage system. To help others move up and down the mountain easier. Kye had been oddly quiet on the walk back and went to his dorm to bathe. Crixus thought that was odd, he usually followed him everywhere. He got back to his room and found Olcan waiting.

"Ah you have returned. How was your trip?"

"Fine. His parents are normal people. Nothing impressive. Nice people though."

"That's good. I spoke with him before you left."

"Oh?"

Crixus crossed the room to set his things down. Olcan was up to something.

"Yes. I was trying to see where his intentions laid with you."

"He's my Rendell."

He was lost. What was his game. Olcan stood from his seat and said.

"I asked him basically what he wanted from you...in a personal aspect."

Crixus laughed shaking his head. He went to his chair and sighed.

"Olcan...really? Don't you have better things to do then figure out who has a crush on who? Leave the pup alone."

"He's in for you."

"I know he's sweet on me."

Crixus said smiling.

"It's hard not to tell."

"He doesn't deserve what you do to people who love you."

Olcan said forcefully.

"You will rip him apart."

"Only if he's into that. Stop Olcan. It's fine, he's young and impulsive. He can sit there and crush on me all he wants, we are around each other all the time. Of course his emotions would cling to me. Just wait till he's been here a few months. I won't be anything but his Ethelwulf to him."

"Don't hurt him Crixus."

Olcan was serious. Crixus's smile faded, his brow lowered.

"You're serious. You think I'd hurt him? He's my Rendell."

"I think what you will do is use him like you the devote girls. Once a night for getting your rocks off. He's a nice male. Don't ruin him."

"Get out. I don't want to hear another word on this subject. Out."

Olcan growled but left the room. Crixus watched him leave then set out to find the pup. He wanted speak about Olcan's visit before the trip.

~Kye went straight to his room when they got back. His mind was buzzing with a million thoughts, and all of them about Crixus. After Olcan's talk he had pushed all thought of this out of his head. Now that Crixus had caught him, it was different again. He closed his eyes tight remembering the moment again and again. Cringing, he sighed and turned over his in bunk. Hiding from the world. He felt so stupid. It was almost as if his hand just decided to take control. Kye would admit the part of Crixus he wanted to touch most was his fangs. Just to see what they felt like.

"Pup, you awake?"

Kye turned back and nodded.

"Yes, resting. All this walking now a days sucks."

"You will get used to it."

Crixus stood beside his bunk, gazing at him. Why did he always have to stare at him.
