The Constant Star

21st Star: The Death Threat

GLOZELLE COLLINS

EVERYTHING seems to be okay after I confessed what I'm feeling to Aegean. I actually don't know where all of that came from. I never liked someone before that's why I'm surprised I actually said those words to him yesterday.

We were given a week to rest and recover from the combat yesterday. Aegean and Cnidus are not werewolves that have speed healing powers and I'm glad they understand that our team mates are fragile at the moment.

"Hey, Glozelle..." Aegean called.

"What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

They allowed Aegean to transfer to his room here in the cabin last night since they already treated his wound. Cnidus on the other hand was advised to stay there because his injury is much more worse than Aegean's. Our team mates, especially Blake, makes sure to check on him from time to time.

We all agreed that Blake and Pyhrra would be in charge of continously checking up on Cnidus and give him what he needs. Aegean personally asked for me to take care of him which became a reason why the other two started teasing us again.

"Aren't you hungry?" he asked.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question? You haven't eaten anything since the time you woke up."

"I'm not hungry yet."

"I don't care if you're not hungry! You're still going to eat! You wait for me here, I'll just get you some food whether you like it or not!"

"You talk a lot already, huh?"

"Shut up!"

I rolled my eyes and went outside of the room to go to the kitchen and prepare some food for Aegean. I don't know yet what's in his mind but he seems to think a lot lately and I'm very sure that it's a very serious matter.

Pyhrra prepared some steak for today's lunch. It's already two in the afternoon and Aegean haven't eaten anything yet. Well, that's why I'm here in the kitchen. I'm going to prepare his food and whether he like it or not, he will need to eat it.

I started preparing his food by getting some rice and putting the steak on a plate. After that, I poured warm water in a glass. After settling everything, I've put all of it in a tray. I didn't forget about the spoon, fork, and knife too. If he still doesn't want to eat, I will seriously force him to do so.

"You better eat this..." I whispered before lifting up the tray and paving the way back to his room.

When I entered his room, he was already smiling at me and even stood up to get the tray from me. I didn't bother to stop him from doing so since I know he won't listen to me if I do that anyway.

"Now, you will eat or I will force you!" I shouted, threatening him.

"Can you assist me with eating? My left arm still hurts so bad, and I couldn't use both hands."

"If this is one of your games—"

"No, of course it's not!" he cut me off and started laughing.

I sat on his bed and started feeding him like a kid. He's just smiling and staring at me the whole time I'm doing that. I glared at him but he just kept on smiling like a kid who received a gift.
