Mag-log inLazarus povThe hospital is too oppressing and with every breath I take, it feels too small, but I can’t bring myself to be anywhere but here. I’ve been pacing the same ten-foot stretch for what feels like hours, my wolf clawing under my skin, desperate to do something other than wait.Alister is still sleeping, the doctors had to sedate him because while I was taking that stupid nap Luka forced I have, my boy woke up and started clawing at his own throat. My precious little baby boy tried to rip out his throat. Just the thought alone is making me sick and worst of all, I wasn’t here to stop him. As his father, it is my duty to hold Alister and promise everything will be okay. With a shaky exhale, I stop at the window of his room and press my forehead against the cool glass. Inside, Sarah sits next to his bed, holding his small hand and saying something I can’t hear. Her shoulders are tense, back straight, but I know her well enough to see the cracks. The same as me, she’s barely h
Lenox povI stop walking so suddenly that Ragh nearly trips over me like the giant, clumsy oaf he is. My brain is doing that thing when it feels like someone poured boiling lava straight into my skull and stirred it with a rusty fork.Why did I let the topic slip so easily? Am I crazy? I mean, I am, sort of, a little tiny bit, but come the fuck on, this shit is important. “Say that again,” I hiss and turn around to face the massive demon. “But do it slower and use small words because right now I’m two seconds away from spooning your fucking eyeballs out.”Ragh blinks at me, I’m not sure if he’s taken aback or just surprised by the change of atmosphere. “Time moves differently down here. What feels like hours for you could be days, weeks, or,” he pauses and swallows, likely noticing how I’m already reaching for the spoon in my pocket. “Or a little longer?”I stare at him for a long time, then finally look around to pay more attention to our surroundings. Holy shit, there are glowing m
Lenox povNow, wait a goddamn second. He didn’t just say what I think he did, right? There’s no fucking way this guy is claiming I’m spending more time down here than I feel that I am. Surely, this has to be some sick, twisted demonic joke that isn’t even funny. I raise my hand right as Ragh decides to open his filthy mouth. I’m sure there’s more I’m supposed to know, but I really don’t want to hear anything anymore. He already said too much at this point. “Dude,” I snap at him. “Roll back whatever wisdom you just shared, fold it up real nicely and be a good boy - shove it up your ass before I do it for you, yes?” Every word that leaves me is tense, but I force a smile as wide as that of Jocker’s as I speak. “You are awfully bold for a mortal,” Ragh scoffs. Okay, okay, if we’re aiming for stupid assumptions, I can do that too. Must be why I spit out the stupidest shit ever. “Yes, and you’re awfully large to be having some diaper kink because you’re about to wear one by the time I
Fenton povUnfortunately, I got so damn distracted by that asshole David and his impending death that I didn’t notice the girl leave. Felix’s body is laying lifeless on the moss covered ground, his eyes still half lidded but void of life. David’s body, or what’s left of it, hangs from the tree nearby, his blood slowly soaking into the dirt at the roots of the tree. Slowly, I start pacing the area, trying to calm myself down, running hands through my hair and desperately attempting to come up with the next step I could take. Whatever happened here, it’s all wrong. So very wrong. The plan was simple - I get the girl, use her as bait and Lenox appears out of nowhere to save her like the psycho with the savior complex he is. Simple, right? Not at all since the plan failed even before I managed to try to use it. And now, I have two dead bodies near me and a woman on a run. I don’t even know if she’s the one I needed, damn it. On one hand, I had David, who claimed she definitely is the
Lenox pov“You know, back home we have this thing we call Christmas. Do you have Christmas?” I ask Ragh to distract myself from the boredom of walking. “No,” he grumbles and glances at me. “What is that?” “Oh, it’s no biggie, only like the best damn day in the entire year, asshole!” I gasp. “You get loads of gifts, the best food and you spend time with your family near the fireplace while it’s freezing cold outside.” “So.. The best day of your year is freezing temperatures, gifts and food?” He asks. I nod eagerly, already grinning as I remember last Christmas and how I managed to trick Luka into running through the show in only his boxers. Ah, good old times. “You are a weird creature,” Ragh hums and I roll my eyes at his stupid statement. I’m not weird, mom says I’m special and that totally doesn’t mean I’m weird or anything. He is a dirty, filthy liar and my mom is right, not the demon pants.“What the fuck ever,” I say sharply and punch his shoulder in response. “You’re just
Sarah povI don’t care if anyone could claim it is weird of me to feel this sort of relief that I do now. The fact alone that Than can be near me and tell me that Alister will be okay is already like a huge weight off my shoulders. As I glance between Than and Alister, I nod again, even though he doesn’t say a word to me. “Do we gather the family and have a quick meeting now? I’d much rather stay here in case Alister wakes up, but the doctors said he’ll sleep for at least a couple of more hours.” Than flashes me what I can describe only as a forced smile. “I understand, kid. I, too, think it’s best if the little one has a face he knows nearby when he wakes up, but I also think that meeting you brought up would be for the best. I’ll call them, yes?” “Thank you,” I say with a smile and watch him slip out of the hospital room. While he’s out, I rush to grab Alister’s hand and squeeze it, “mommy’s here, baby. I’ll step out for a few minutes, but I’ll be back right after, okay? I’m not
Lazarus povI’m moving before my brain has the time to register and process the scream that comes from the upstairs. In the hurry, somehow, I notice that Luka is right on my heels, excluding the same worried energy I am. I don’t just rush or run upstairs, it feels like I’m flying - one moment I ne
Sarah povI can’t believe I’m witnessing something as awful as the very thing that’s happening right before my eyes. I’m not a stranger to violence and blood, I’ve seen plenty of it, but right now, it hits differently. The way that man just stood in front of me, without a second of a doubt, and t
Lenox povLooking for roots is totally so fucking boring, I swear. Why the hell did I even think it would be a good idea? No clue, but here I am, doing my stuff, wiggling the butt cheeks and all that. “I mean come on, man, this place is fucking endless, this isn’t even funny anymore,” I groan to n
Felix povHoly shit.. Holy shit.. Why the hell did my brain think saying that was a great idea, just why? The look on her face.. I can’t look at her and not feel guilty at all, but at the same time, I just placed myself directly into the fire line of this mess. I know that I fucked up by the loo
