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

Chapter 66

A/N: So, a friend of mine was having a rough day, and I did have another chapter written. I am hoping that this chapter will help make her day better. The next chapter (or two) will be in Xavier's POV. I have a lot of information that I need to cover for him, so I am going to see what I can do. I am also planning three other books (besides the sequel and third book) to deal with these characters. ;) I think that is all, so onto the chapter.

Thanks.

After checking on both Bryson and Clara, I made my way to TJ's room. I was silent while I walked through the halls keeping an eye out for anyone on this floor, especially Xavier.

My heart pounded in my chest and my breathing was labored, and I was more than grateful for the clothes that I wore kept every sound hidden, so no one could know that I was freaking out. I didn't need someone to know that I was there just because I was so excited and nervous to be sharing the same air as him even if I couldn't see him.

Slowly, I walked into TJ's room, closing the door softly behind me before pulling off the hood and the mask before making my way to him, fully aware that I was much taller than previous due to the fact that I was the same size and build as Parker. I sat down on the bed, gently, and placed the piece of paper underneath his pillow, not surprised about how much of a deep sleeper he was.

"Stop," he groaned when I tried to wake him up and shoved my hand away. "Leave me alone." He turned around, and I smirked when I saw him clutching his toy bunny. He looked so relaxed and so carefree that it broke my heart because I had to wake him from his deep sleep.

"Wake up," I whispered, shaking his shoulder. "I don't have much time, T, and we have some stuff to discuss."

TJ startled awake and opened his eyes. He opened his mouth to scream but stopped when I placed my hand over his mouth. His eyes went wide before he finally relaxed and laid still, watching me with those blue eyes of his.

"Are you going to scream if I let go?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't have time for it."

TJ shook his head, and I took my hand from his mouth. "Parker?" he asked, sitting up. "What are you doing here?"

I shook my head no. "It's not Parker," I said. I rolled my eyes when gave me a pointed look. "Fine, I know that I look like Parker, but I swear to the Goddess that it's me."

"Prove it," TJ said, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. "How do I know that you are my cousin? Name one embarrassing story that only she knows."

I gave him a deadpanned look. "You pooped in the tub once while I was giving you a bath and blamed it on the bunny," I said. "Do you really want me to say more?"

TJ didn't respond but flung himself on me, giving me a hug. He clutched his bunny to his chest, but I didn't care as I held him close.

"Shush, I am here," I whispered, feeling his body shake from the silent sobs. Guilt nipped at my heart as I placed a kiss to the side of his head. "I am here." Slowly, I rocked him back and forth until the sobs subsided, and he pulled away from me.

"You left," he said, wiping his eyes and blinking back tears. "You left us." He cleared his throat and studied me. "Why?"

I sighed and moved a hand through my hair. "Camen is part of the group that we had been trying to eradicate for years," I said. I shrugged. "We thought we had finished them or sent them packing when we had killed Vincent Langham."
