Shit Happens

Chapter 14

Chapter 14:
Blain's POV:
You know, when I was five years old I wanted to be the prince of England and Zane wanted to be the queen. What I didn't expect to happen to me when I grew up was having to lead the fairies into battle against a shitty ass falling angel. I wonder if he'd fallen completely yet. He's a total douche. I don't have the confidence to lead an army of fairies. I mean yeah, I could lead 3 classmates in a game in Phys Ed, but leading an army? Well that was a whole new level to the definition of lead.
I wasn't sure whether I was ready to lead or not. They all looked up to me, hopeful to have me lead them to the winners crown. There was a problem though, I'm not the prince or queen of England, I can't lead a whole bunch of people and have almost all of them like me. I wasn't capable of that. I was more like the small little boy training to be a knight and then all their superiors die and they're forced to lead all the others because they are the most capable out of the rest. So now, lately I'm hanging out in the training room for fairies and helping them pick the right weapon. They have specialized blades made for demons and angels and other species. They had swords with inscriptions on the blade towards the handle that make it so they are demon/angel killing machines. They have special bullets too. They have everything. They even have this glitter that can blow up someone's head if you throw it at their face. It's so cool. I accidentally blew up one of the fairies arms off. I just wanted to see if it actually worked.
Regret told me that the fairy was going to be the first to die anyways. See, one thing I've learned about Regret is that he is a dick and 3/4. His main goal in life is to piss people off. He reminds me of a more serious version of Vladimir, the guy who is crushing on my best friend. Adrian has been getting better it seems and that makes me happy. I want my best friend to act more... Pleased with life. Though something has seemed to a bugging him. He smiles and all, but if you look in his eyes you can see there is something he is thinking about. I've made it my duty to find out. Adrian and I may be drifting from each other but that will not stop me from trying to be there for him. He is still my best friend and I care.
"So, Blain, have you learned control?" Regret asks, passing me to grab a bag of melt-your-face-off glitter. I sigh and shake my head.
"I've been busy hanging with friggin fairies." I say, sorting the bags of glitter and blades, guns, swords, bow and arrows, etcetera. Regret takes a handful of the glitter and blows it at one of the dummies. The whole dummy dissolves.
"Well, you can take a couple days off. I can take over so you can work on it. You can't truly lead without control. You could accidentally blow up your own side." Regret looks over to Relic who is talking to one of the female fairies, who's name was like Merrissa. She was just a friend and a soldier. Relic was a servant so he was going to stay at the fairy palace thing and help the other servants.
Regret made it very clear he didn't want Relic to be in the war, and what I mean by clear is shout, throw things and make out with the servant in front of everyone to show how much he meant it. Some fairies were disgusted and so we killed them. Well, Regret had them killed. I'm not that cruel. Regret didn't want to take any chances either. He told me had dealt with people like them before, it ended in blood.
"I suppose so," I say, looking at Regret with curiosity. Regret looks away from Relic and shoots me a glare when he noticed I am looking at him.
"You're a mystery Regret, you care so much about that servant, yet you don't exactly show it as much as you could." Regret's eyes harden.
"You saw how my after reacted when he found out I was in a relationship with a servant that was a male. I can't just show off because I have to think of Relic. Besides, if the enemy found out how much I cared about Relic, he'd be a weak point and we can't have that." I grab a blade and look it over as I ponder Regret's words.
"Relic shouldn't stay here." I tell him after a moment of silence.
"Why is that?" Regret's are harsh.
"If the enemy does somehow find out your feelings towards Relic, they could come here while you aren't present and take him. Somehow they will find out Regret and don't think acting like a dick will stop them." Regret looks taken aback by that last part, but then he straightens up.
"You are right, he shall stay with me though." I nod.
"Alright, just don't get distracted, I know how it feels." I wink before walking away. Regret's face turns red and I laugh. He mumbles before turning and throwing glitter at a giant dummy. Relic hurries over to me, looking skittish.
"Sir, Merrissa is feeling ill." He looks back over to the female fairy on her knees. Flashes of myself being sick play through my mind and I stare for a moment, unsure of what to do. I struggle to move forward when Regret slams his hand onto my back. My gears start working and I hurry over to the girl. She looks up at me and I watch as blood is coughed up from her hands. I pick her up and rush through the crowd and to the infirmary, Regret and Relic following. Merrissa holds on tight to me as I carry her over to a bed. I set her down carefully, afraid she might break into a thousand pieces of nothing. I place my hand over her her forehead and concentrate my energy to my hand. A glowing teal light appears beneath my palm and I watch as she relaxes.
Suddenly, a hand grabs my wrist and I'm wrenched back. I turn to see Sorien. His violet eyes glow dangerously as he glares at me. "Are you stupid?" He demands. I curl my lip back and sneer. He's so annoying.
"I'm trying to save her. Are you stupid?" His glare hardens and he squeezes my wrist even more, making me wince.
"You do that and it'll go wrong." I throw my hands up.
"Why would it go wrong?" I ask, looking at him weirdly.
"When you heal people, you absorb their pain and sickness." Sorien hisses, letting go of my wrist. I glare at the floor stubbornly.
"Who cares if I get it?" I hiss.
"The fairies Blain, you're their new leader. Even if you're not a fairy, you're the Nameo to them." I frown remembering poor Nameo. He was such a creepy nice fairy. I liked him.
"Regret is supposed to be the Nameo." I say. Sorien rolls his eyes.
"Who gives a shit, Regret is next in line after you win." Sorien's eyes flash before he disappears with a "don't do it, bitch." I turned to Merrissa and frowned, if I can't heal her how can I help her?
Regret walks in with Relic following closely behind. Regret looks pissed and he turns to sneer at me. "Why didn't you let us in?" I glance at Relic who is looking down with a depressed look. I can tell he isn't happy.
"I had a visitor, I wasn't doing anything." I mutter. Relic walks over to Merrissa and frowns down at her. He grabs her hand and strokes it, trying to comfort her. I glance over at Regret who's eyes are hard. I move out of the room and Regret follows me.
"He's not in love with me." Regret says, eyes sad. I open my mouth so say something, but Regret continues. "He's been in love with Merrissa since he got here. I threatened him with her and that's the only thing keeping him with me. I love him Blain, but he loves her." I watch as Regret's eyes water. His tears slip down his cheek, no longer able to stay inside and hide. I say nothing, knowing that Regret didn't need me to say anything. I was supposed to listen and stay there as his shoulder to cry on, because no matter how many other fairies there were, none of them would let him cry on their shoulder.
He wipes at his cheeks and looks at me. He sniffles and turns away. "Thank you for listening." He says before walking down the hall passed the infirmary. I look down, wishing I could help Regret, but sadly nothing I could do would help his breaking heart.
