Eagle Crest Hallows [2]

Indigo

I grunt and leave Young Master's shoe to chew on Dark Boy's.

"It's fine," Master assures her, "I-I was ambushed. I had just found Indigo and a couple of wolves wanted after him. I stood in the way. It was stupid. He just reminded me of something."

Rayah

"Jace!" I say, taking his arm in my hand, "W-Why.." Before I knew it a tear went down my cheek. "Why didn't you tell me?!" I ask, "This could've been worse!" I say, studying it. "Please..Tell me next time."

Cheer

I walked in from the kitchen yawning. "Well, I need to go to the Camp. Something urgent has came up. I'll return soon. I left my number on the fridge, in case you need me," I say before walking out the door waving.

Spoiler

Oh! Twist!

Indigo

"It happened a while ago, Ray," He whispers, "I'm fine."

Master wipes the tear from Mistress' face and kisses her forehead.

"Indi... Ray, he and I think that...he's somehow..." He swallows and looks at me, "He explains it better, but he's my spirit...reincarnated. Do you understand? He's some weird living version of my soul, I guess. I don't know how to say it..."

Dark Boy walks in and I jump up, wondering who's shoe I'm chewing on then. I see Dark Girl and bolt, attacking Young Master's shoe again.

Rayah

I wave at Cheer. I take a step back from Jace, confused. " A living version of your SOUL?!"

Indigo

I glance up at them. Master swallows and looks down.

"Ray, it doesn't mean anything," He says, "We just have an empathy bond and he knew my memories before I did... He's just like a little brother to me, that's all. Just.. Let's forget I said it."

Rayah

"Uh, Yeah, Still creeped out." I said, walking out of the room and into the kitchen.

Indigo

Master swallows and sits down, insecurely crossing his arms over his chest. I drag the shoe over and sit at his feet, continuing to chew on it.

Rayah

I splash some water on my face.

Sprit? What the hell?

I rest my arms on the counter for a couple minutes before walking back out and leaning on the doorframe, "I-I..." I start to say, unable to say it.

Indigo

"Just forget about it," He tells her, shaking his head. "I-I picked a bad time."

I bite a hole in it and grunt, flipping it over.

Rayah

I nodded, still a little shaken up. "Good idea."

I yawned anc slid down the wall, bringing my knees to my face, sighing.

Indigo

Master stands and checks on the Little Masters like he intended to and I inwardly sigh.

Rayah

I look up at Indigo. "You can eat my shoe if you want." I said, putting my foot out.

Indigo

Mistress offers her shoe and I get up to sniff it, pulling it off and falling backwards with it. I chew it and glance at Master, who has yet to calm down from the anxiety caused by telling her.

Rayah

I chuckle and watch Indigo for a while before standing and walking to Jace, wrapping my arms around him from behind, closing my eyes as I rock back and fourth playfully.
