The Big Bad Beast (bxb)

Chapter Nineteen: Brothers

Red P.O.V

I stared at Welfen, my eyes not moving from the side of his face. I think he could tell that I was staring at him because he was making a point not to look in my direction. I sat my glass plate down, lowering it out of my hands and move it into my lap. I had finished eating minutes ago and was simply waiting for Welfen to realize I was waiting for him to allow my brothers to either come in here or for me to go to my siblings. I was fine with either unless he made it one of those 'if you can make it to the door' things. I don't think I could deal with him doing that to me again. He had already proved that point yesterday. I don't need him to do it again. I think it would upset me if he tried to do that again.

I watched as he gulped, his throat making a slow-motion before a sigh left Welfen's lips, his nice looking lips. To think, before this, I hadn't thought about anyone, anyone's physical attributes. Now though? I think that Welfen is very nice to the eyes. He had definitely been blessed in that area.

"I'll be right back with your . . . brothers," Welfen said quietly, the way he said brothers, with a slight undertone of a growl. I don't think he liked considering my brothers as my brothers. I think he hated the fact that they were vampires. I wasn't sure if anything had happened after I passed out. I don't think my brothers would actually start anything based on the way they had been cowering when Rafe and Eli were standing there. They aren't cowards by any means but I knew that they were very much afraid of the werewolves.

I watched as Welfen picked up our plates, placing them back on the tray and picks it up and walks out of the room with the tray, giving me one final look that screamed at me if I get up and leave then he'll find me and lock me in this room, or that's what I thought his eyes were telling me, I would probably never know for sure. I listened as the door was shut ever so quietly, not a noise coming in, and I listened for the sound of a door locking and was pleasantly surprised when I didn't hear the gentle click of the lock locking into place. I thought for a moment to get up and check if the door was truly unlocked but I didn't feel like straining my already weak but getting stronger, legs. I glanced around the room bored. There wasn't anything in this room that could entertain me with until Welfen returned. Believe it or not, Welfen was becoming my only source of entertainment. The way he smiled, the way his nose would crinkle ever so slightly when he was confused. The way he always seemed to be thinking about something nice, even when his face wasn't the happiest.

I waited for a couple of minutes, slowly getting more and more impatient. I didn't like to be sitting here like I am, nothing was happening, it wasn't interesting. I was more bored then I had been in a while and a small part of me was aching, I wasn't sure as to why. It just ached. I couldn't figure out why and I wasn't sure if I would be able to any time soon and I knew that was correct when the door opened. My head snapped up as Byrnn ran into the room, his bruises looking slightly better than yesterday, his eyes instantly found mine and I only had seconds before I was wrapped in a gentle hug from none other then Byrnn, who was followed by Mitchell. I guess by the two brothers who stayed he meant these two, I had kind of guess it was these two, even though I wish he had made Byrnn go home, I didn't want him to be here any longer than necessary. Mitchell sat down on the bed beside me, making note of not touching me roughly, at the moment he was making a note not to touch me at all, seemly watching me for any signs of pain. I wasn't going to show him any either. I could tell that Mitchell was blaming himself for allowing me to get hurt. I wanted to resolve that feeling that I knew, absolutely knew that my brother, and best friend, was feeling guilty.

I could tell that Byrnn wasn't planning on moving any moment, so I look over at Mitchell. I heard the door close again, expecting to see Welfen in the room but was surprised to see no one. I think Welfen thought we'd like privacy and he wasn't necessarily wrong. It felt . . . weird to not have Welfen in the room. I was used to having Welfen, and Welfen alone in this room with me. It wasn't necessarily bad having my brothers in here, in fact, I was happy to have them in here. I truly was. I missed their presence, even though they could be annoying little bastards when they wanted to be. Annoying too, but I loved them for it. I loved them for being them. It still felt weird to be in the room without Welfen.
