Eagle Crest Hallows [2]

Indigo

I notice Young Master and shift, bolting towards him and nipping his ankles playfully.

I see Indigo in his puppy form, he comes around and nips at my ankles.

""Hey buddy." I say, petting him on the head.

Rayah

Jace doesn't answer and I look at him, suspiciously. "Jace?"

Indigo

I wag my tail and sit as he pets me, panting.

Master looks away from me and at Mistress, kissing the side of her face. "I'm okay. Don't worry about me."

Rayah

I make Jace look at me and I swallow, "Jace. Tell me." I say, concerned.

Indigo

Master kisses the side of Mistress' face.

"Not now," He whispers, "Please."

Rayah

"Jace..." I trail off, "Please." I say in a whisper. "Why?"

Indigo

I grunt and lay down, gnawing on Young Master's shoe. Master tightens his grip on Mistress.

"Just trust me, Ray. I'll tell you, just when we're alone." He whispers.

Rayah

I swallow, looking down. "Will it get me mad?"

Indigo

Master flashes a smile and shakes his head.

"It might....be weird," He admits, looking down, "but I never crossed you, if that's what you mean."

Rayah

I look back up at him, "Then just tell me." I say, flashing a small smile.

Indigo

He shakes his head, nuzzling her face with his forehead.

"I-I should check on the kids," He changes the subject, leaving the room to do so.

I whimper at his mood change, but don't stop biting Young Master's shoe, waiting for a reaction. Why did rubber taste so good?

Rayah

I watch him leave, confused. I chace after him, stopping him in his tracks. "Jace, It's okay. Just tell me, I promise...I won't..." I tilted his face up to look at me.

Indigo

I push Young Master on the floor and steal his shoe off his foot, running with it into the living room. Master glances at me as I mentally beg him to tell. Mistress doesn't deserve a secret.

"It's..." He looks down again, pulling his sleeve back and showing her the deep scar from a bite mark on his forearm.

I shudder and plop down, chewing the shoe. I can't believe I'm... ugh.

Rayah

I look at his arm, "What happened?"
