A Broken Prophet Without A Message

Chapter Twelve - Rebel Love Song

Ashley had finished off the bottle of whiskey and was subsequently playing with fire. Reluctantly, Andy decided to take Jinxx's advice and leave.
"Does he know about...?" Jinxx asked nervously, hinting at Ashley's possible knowledge of their relationship.
"Yeah...but he won't tell anyone, even drunk he knows how to keep a secret.  I can -" Andy winced at the sound of the explosion behind him.
"Do we help him now?" Jinxx chuckled softly.
"Hell no!" Andy exclaimed " I know from experience of the dangers that come from being around a drink Ashley. You see this scar here, " he said, gesturing to a large scar on his chest, " that's what happens."
"Oh. Maybe it would be better if we went to our tent. I'm sure we'll have...fun..."
"You read my mind Jinxxie." Andy grinned, playfully punching his arm before they entered the tent.
They were both having a great time when they heard a voice from outside.
"Hey, Jinxx. Can I come in for a scene!" CC called in.
Jinxx shoved on some boxers and Andy attempted to make himself look like part of the bunched up blanket.
"Y-yeah." Jinxx replied, getting his last leg into his jeans. He had just finished when CC popped into the tent.
"Geez it's hot in here!" CC exclaimed, the energy released by Andy and Jinxx had given the room furnace-like qualities.
"I guess so..." Jinxx mumbled, silently praying that Andy wouldn't sneeze.
"Anyway, I was wondering if you knew where Prophet was, I checked his tent but he wasn't there. You guys hang out together a lot so I assumed that you'd know."
"What? No, why would I know?" Jinxx asked, deflecting him in what he hoped was an inconspicuous way. "Anyway, are you okay now, " he began in a calmer voice, successfully changing the subject, " I'm pretty sure that the knife was digging into your neck pretty hard."
"Yeah I'm fine, Jake fixed it up for me." CC replied before beginning to sit down on the pile of blanket that contained Andy.
"Dude! Your freaking blanket just moved!" He exclaimed in shock.
"I-I'm sure it's fine, honestly!" Jinxx panicked.  CC was lifting the blanket but stopped when he saw Andy's chest and head.
"I'm out!" He said, raising his hands in surrender and speed walking away from the tent.
"Well, we're fucked." Jinxx muttered, going over to Andy and hugging him.
"Huh?" Andy asked in confusion.
"CC is incapable of keeping a secret and loves gossip."
We're screwed." Andy agreed, putting his clothes back on. "Fancy scouting to see if we can figure out where the guards are gonna come from?"
"Why not, having your friend see your boyfriend naked kind of kills the mood."
"My point exactly." Andy said, getting up and leaving the tent.
When they were walking they must have automatically linked hands because when Jake passed them he giggled,
"I guess CC was right then!"
Both Andy and Jinxx blushed furiously before running as fast as they could from the camp.
They had been walking for a couple of hours when Andy spotted something that chilled his blood.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." He muttered, stumbling back in shock and terror.
"What do you see?!"
"Too many to count. We can't let them see us or they'll know the camp is here..."
"You don't need to worry about that any more. Can you get us closer though?" Jinxx asked, wanting to check how many exactly.
Andy nodded before sending them to a cliff above the marching legions. Jinxx let out a soft gasp of fear. The nearby guards all heard and sent a huge volley of arrows to meet them. Andy couldn't react fast enough and merely teleported them after the damage had been done.
"Fucking hell!" Andy yelled in frustration, he had sent them to the canteen but because it was dinner everyone was there to see them in all their arrow covered glory. His wings had emerged and the left one was...not completely attached. Jinxx was clutching Andy's hand tightly. A few people near to them shrunk back in fear, Andy's bloody, mattered hair, his wild eyes and the crimson liquid pooling around them made them both look like they were ready to kill. Andy just ignored them and turned to Jinxx who was shaking like a leaf and hyperventilating. A tear rolled down Jinxx's cheek which Andy wiped away. He wrapped his arms around him and began to lead him to their tent before turning back.
"Fuck you all. My boyfriend is having a fucking panic attack here and you guys are just watching?! You'd better run, if the guards don't get you then I sure as hell might..." he spat, venom dripping from his voice, before hurrying to Jinxx who was waiting by the entrance.
Once they had arrived at their tent Andy sat down, Jinxx laid across him with his head in his lap. Andy stroked his hair softly, allowing Jinxx to calm down.
"Their thoughts I-I've never...how can a creature be so evil?! Each one of them had a different plan of how to kill the people they found in the most painful way! If they found you I - " Jinxx ranted, before Andy cut him off with a kiss.
"Not gonna happen." He said matter of factly.
"But - " Jinxx began before once again being cut off, this time however a moan escaped his lips.
"I'll have you to keep me safe. Besides, unless they have a heart with them I can teleport us both away if we're in danger."
Jinxx tried to find some flaw in this plan but eventually gave up and made a new suggestion,
"I'm starving! Come on Prophet boy!" Jinxx laughed. Andy giggled in response before they set off hand in hand. Neither of them cared about the looks they were getting. Neither of them cared about how long they had been trying to hide it.
They only cared that they were together.
