Chapter 10: Who are you ? . . . (edited)

I looked over at Logan who was still busy brooding over his mysterious grudge against Alec.

The only thing that was separating us from Alec was the curtain that I'd just pulled shut, so I knew he'd be able to hear any conversation between my brother and me. Of course, if he wasn't the type to eavesdrop, that wouldn't have been an issue, but from what I'd learned in the last hour I'd spent with him I knew that wasn't the case.

I looked around the room for a pen and paper and quickly found both on the end of Logan's bed with his medical chart. I quickly flipped over the check up sheet and scribbled on it before handing him the paper.

Are you okay ?

He looked at it and snorted before looking up at me," Don't worry about it." 

He replied as he handed back the clipboard with the paper and pen. I quickly wrote again and handed it to him.

Is it because he's a dick face?

He laughed loudly before slapping his hand over his mouth. I smiled and grabbed the clipboard and pen back.

" Good. You're not brooding anymore." I said as I ripped the paper I'd written on off of the chart and shoved it into my pant pocket.

" I wasn't brooding. I was just thinking about our situation." He whined.

" Yeah, and you looked like you wanted to murder someone while doing it." I muttered.

" I also tried to use the mind link to contact mom and dad but it didn't work, so I was trying to concentrate and –"

" The walls of this house are enchanted so no unwanted communication gets in or goes out." Alec sung from the other side of the curtain.

" Yeah, I figured as much!" Logan growled as he looked at me and mouthed 'asshole' at the end of his sentence, making me snicker in response.

" Making fun of me behind my back won't land you on my good side, so I'd –" Alec stopped in the middle of his sentence.

Logan and I looked at each other in confusion as we waited for Alec to speak again.

" Is he dead ?" I asked as I took a step towards the curtain.

" I doubt it'd be that easy to get rid of him." Logan replied dryly.

I cautiously reached out towards the curtain to pull it open and investigate only for someone else to rip it open first. Alec looked between me and Logan with his icy eyes before sighing," Mommy and daddy have come to pick you two up."

Logan and I replied in unison:

" Mom and dad are here ?"

" Of course they're late."

Logan and I stared at each other for a moment before I shrugged," Gregory said they'd be here in two hours like three hours ago."

" Gregory ?" Logan frowned as he cocked his head to the side," Do you mean al –"

He was cut off by Alec suddenly bursting out into laughter behind me. He hunched over and clutched his stomach as he laughed.

This earned him a judgmental stare from me as I crossed my arms," What's so funny ?"

" Y-you," he stuttered between laughs," Called him bahahh – I can't – ahaha!"

" Is there really something that funny about his name ?" I asked," You call him Greg, frankly, I don't see the difference."

" Alec, his highness told you to bring them up ten minutes ago, why are you still here ?" A female's voice echoed throughout the almost empty medical center.
