Xavier (1st bk of Wolfcreek Pack) (Completed)

Chapter 61

I watched the tent and took in a deep breath as I waited for Tito to exit and let me in. My whole body was tense as I anxiously waited for the right moment to get in. I needed to get this done. I needed to see what he had to say and prayed that he would be in better condition to answer me.

'Would you relax?' Charlie asked, causing me to snort. 'You already know that Tito has to push him around a bit. He won't do that too hard.'

'I know,' I said, checking the band on my wrist to see the time. I pursed my lips feeling very annoyed with him taking so long, but I understood that he had to make sure that the Soothsayer was safe as well as making sure that no one would be able to know that we were communicating with him. 'But, we still have places to be and don't have that much time to do the shit we have to do.'

'I know,' Charlie said. 'Also Sergio has finished stuff that you wanted. When do you want to start handing everything out?'

'Closer to the battle,' I replied. 'We don't want anyone to know about the bands.' I watched as Tito stepped out of the tent and held it open. 'I think you might be able to connect the others to the call, except for May. They might need to hear this, too.' I walked into the tent, giving Tito the signal that I was in and causing him to close the tent.

'Hey, we are finally connected to the line,' Sergio said as the person in this filthy tent groaned and moved closer to the back wall. 'Are you going to let us see?'

I rolled my eyes and took out a small glow stick that could turn this dark room brighter. I broke the stick and shook it before tossing the stick near the door, filling the room with this brilliant white light.

'That is not letting us see,' Sergio said.

I rolled my eyes again and took out some of the small balls just as the Soothsayer whimpered and moved away.

"Don't hurt me, Master. I am sorry. Don't hurt me," he said. "The light blinds. The light hurts, Master. I can't go near the light. Too bright." He covered his head with the "shirt" that he had on.

I raised an eyebrow and tossed the balls into the air after turning them on. I watched as they hit the tent and disappeared, now having my own eyes on the Soothsayer.

'It's connected,' Charlie said. 'I'm dimming the lights a bit.' He dimmed the light until it was bearable for the whimpering man in the corner.

"Thank, Master," he said. "Show, Master, show." He moved his cloth down until he was looking straight at me with brilliant brown and blue eyes.

'Can he see you?' Sergio asked, sounding shocked. 'How?'

'Soothsayers were said to be connected to the Ten,' Charlie said. 'If the Ten's blood is running through her veins, then...'

'Then it wouldn't be hard for him to see me,' I said. I moved to the left and started to walk forward, watching as his gaze stayed on me.

He moved his lips but no sound came out. Sometimes his body convulsed and his eyes rolled to the back of his head, but it didn't last long. It was concerning to watch, however, and made me quicken my pace towards him.

I stopped when he backed up and curled into a ball after one of his episodes. I was halfway near him, but that didn't help me at all. I needed to be closer to him if I wanted to help.

'Take off the hood and mask,' Commander said. 'Let him see you. That might cause him to calm down.'

I did what I was told to do and reached for the hood. I pulled it off before pulling down the mask that covered my face.
