Chapter Forty:

Athiss sat at the table in the little coffee shop in town. He knew that he had to go back to his family, but right now he just wanted to enjoy the sounds of the coffee shop. The smells of the place that he had long forgotten.

Slowly placing the small spoon on the napkin Athiss brought the cup up to his lips and slowly sipped as he did he wondered what his life would have been like if he had just walked away from Vaughn when he thought about it.

Would his heart be aching like this?

Timidly, setting the cup down Athiss blinked his eyes as he watched Mycel come in with a wide smile on his lips. He knew from the many years of knowing the man that it meant he was up to something, and that something was never what you hoped it to be.

Slowly licking his bottom lip Athiss smirked as the man plopped down but before Mycel could say anything Athiss quickly blurted out: "where have you been?" as he watched Mycel, he could tell the man didn't want to tell him. But if there was anything that he knew he could get out of the man, it was information. After all he was one of the few that Athiss knew how to play, but he only did it in dire circumstances, and this was one of those times.

He could tell by the way Mycel was twirling his fingers and the way that his eyes which just moments before were looking straight at him, were looking at anything and everything but him.

Slowly placing the cup down and scooting his chair closer he whispered in a soft voice that could barely be heard above the noise in the coffee shop, but he knew that Mycel heard him by the crease that was making its way between his eyebrows. Just as he went to ask again he watched as Mycel huffed: "I heard you the first time, you don't have to keep repeating yourself."

Chuckling softly Athiss sat back in his chair as he gnawed on his bottom lip into his mouth slowly eyeing the man in front of him waiting for Mycel to say something anything, and just when he thought that he would be left in the dark he tilted forward as the man whispered: "Vaughn." Slowly eyeing Mycel, Athiss had thought that Mycel was playing a joke on him, and yet he could tell that Mycel was being serious. And that scared him.

Quickly reaching forward Athiss gripped Mycel's wrist pulling the man's attention to him as he did he spoke in a shaky voice: "What about Vaughn, Mycel?"

When the man sat there silently watching him as if he hadn't said a thing, Athiss let him go and started to stand up, but before he could Mycel grabbed him by the hand and spoke once more. "Take this Athiss, and if you truly want to know what's wrong with Vaughn go there. You know where to go, but it's up to you, if you want to open that can of worms."

Swiftly pulling his hand away Athiss ground his teeth together as he spoke: "When it comes to Vaughn, no number of worms can stop me, even when I feel like this."

Swiftly turning around Athiss was about to walk from the coffee shop when he heard: "Be absolute in your choice, brother, this could be your last chance."

Nodding swiftly Athiss took a deep breath of air as he ran his fingers through his hair. He couldn't believe that his heart was pounding, his palms were sweating, and he felt like at any moment he would pass out.
