Siblings who nearly die together, stay together (cult of the Lamb x reader)

Chapter 31: Third Reunion

You are busy with Heket practising some more sign language and writing down some more words that can be useful in conversation and some that will make Heket happy to sign without getting in trouble, that is if you do not have to translate for her.

You look over to the entrance and see Lambert has returned, however, he looks mad, Heket begins to sign "What's up his a-" You put her paws down before she can finish what she was going to sign.

"I'll go see what's wrong," you say and sign, she nods as a way to show you she understood what you said and looks back at the book of sign language. When you get to Lambert you can now see how angry he truly looks, even if he tries to hide it.

"Lambert, what's wrong?" Hearing your voice snaps Lambert out of his trance.

He looks away from you "You're not greeting him like you did with the others".

You cross your arms over your chest "We both know I will be, whether you like it or not".

"Fine, I don't want to get in a fight with you, but only on one condition."

"Alright, what is it?" you could not help but roll your eyes at having to make a compromise.

"You have to stay behind me."

You ponder on his condition "deal".

You both make your way to where the new ex-bishop is, when you see him you instantly take a step back, your head is filled with the fear and sickness you felt that day, you push the memory away with a shake of your head.

"What is this? Shamura, Heket? Leshy? I feel..." Kallamar could not hold his stomach in as he vomited on the floor, you try to go to him to help but Lambert sticks his arm out to block your way.

"Let him suffer the same way you did" his voice is cold as he looks down at the sick squid. You look back at Kallamar, he is cowering in fear and trying to hold back any more sickness he may relace.

This is a god your parents would pray to every night; he deserves some respect. You push Lamberts's arm away and help him up.

"(Y/N)!?"

"Please Lambert let me do this, if not for him, then for our parents" Seeing the pleading look you gave him he agrees.

He gives one more cold look to Kallamar "You even think about doing anything to my sibling again, I will send you back to purgatory".

You let out a groan, knowing that is the best you can get out of Lambert.

You help Kallamar onto the bed, you place your paw on his head, this is the hottest you have felt, you quickly get a wet rag and put it on him.

"I'll be right back" You see Kallamar try to move but he has no strength. You leave the healing bay to pick some of the camellia flowers in the garden, as you are about to go back you see Narinder peeking into the healing bay "Narinder?" You call out, he does not turn to face you, but his ears do.

You stand next to him "You want to see him, do you" he continues to investigate the small blinding. "You can if you want, I'm right here" That gave him the confidence to enter, and you followed him in.

"I'm back Kallamar" Kallamar looks your way but when he sees Narinder he begins to shake with fear and tears start to cloud his eyes, he reaches up to what is left of his ears.

"Please don't, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Kallamar quietly repeats.

You see Narinder looking down "I'm so sorry" you mouth to him; he leaves the healing bay without saying a word. You hope he does not feel too upset as you continue to help Kallamar get better and leave him to rest for the night.
