The Lazy Life Of Raine

Happiness (12)

Three days passed and Odan came back with supplies and a soldier. When they met The Keeper and Axel, they were sitting in front of the house drinking their tea as they enjoyed the last rays of sunlight.

"Keeper!" Odan called out as they came closer.

"General!" Troy called out as he ran towards Axel. "I'm so glad that you're alive!"

"Yeah, well I wouldn't have been, had it not been for the Keeper here."

"Thank you, Keeper for saving General." Troy said as he bowed.

"It was fated." Elise said as she smiled. "Come inside, your travels must have been long. I have a large pot of stew by the fire, come and join us."

Elise went to help Odan with the supplies, but Axel came beside her and grabbed all of the supplies from her hands.

"Lets go." Axel said as he lead the way inside of the house. Troy followed him in and left Odan and Elise outside.

"Still haven't jumped his bones, yet?" Scam asked as he stared at the poor Lui Wei.

"Pfft. It's called a delayed satisfaction." Raine told Scam. "I'm in it for the long haul. I'm hoping for a week long sex marathon. Fingers cross for two weeks, but he's a busy man, a week is already pushing it."

"Good it'll give me a week or two of vacation from you horny humans."

"You guys gonna stand there the whole night?" Axel asked as he stood by the door. His arms were crossed above his chest and a frown could be seen on his face.

"Quickly go to your vinegar filled lover before he pulls a sword on me." Scam told her as he took the horses to the stable.

(A/N: Vinegar = Jealousy)

That night was the last night for Axel to be with The Keeper, so he helped her out in the kitchen as they cleaned up. The silence between them was his longing for her. It was deep and vast, however it could only be felt by him.

Her sweet scent now haunted him everywhere he went, but he'll never forget it. No matter what, he'll never forget her. That night they said their goodnights and their goodbyes as Axel and Troy left before the sun rose. Axel stood outside of the home he found with the Keeper and left his heart behind so one day he could find her once again.

[Going to let him leave just like that?]

"Distance makes the heart grow fonder." Raine said as she looks at the black and white cat who crawled into bed with her. "Besides, you know what to do."

[Yes, yes. Place a tracker and surveillance on him.]

"Good boy." Raine said as he scratched the cat's head.

The cat curled up on the side of the bed and close his eyes. His body began to relax until he felt Raine's hand push him off of the bed. His body quickly reacts and lands on his feet.

[What was that for?]

"I don't like sharing my bed with others that can scam me." Raine said.

[Who wants to sleep next to you anyways!]

The cat turned into a transparent sphere and disappeared, leaving his host behind.

After the winter snow fell and as the warm winds of spring began to blow, Elise made her way back to the Devereux Castle. When she arrived, the village kids ran after her horse as she gave them candy and small trinkets that she bought. Word soon spread that God's Hands came back home and by the time Elise arrived to the courtyard, Rose, Brice and Derek were standing by the front door waiting for her.
