Chapter 8

"Mrs. Schenard!is he here?!"Clarce calls out.

"Mrs. Schenard!Kie is fine right?the teacher said he has a fever but it's the second time!"Tiger shouted in worry.

Mrs. Schenard opened the door,they breath in air,sweat running on their cheeks and neck, their eyes filled on fire,the fire of love,a struck of bolt of lightning to see a glimpse of a rose who's scent enraged their monstrous instinct.

"H-he is here, please do come in"

They take their step inside the butler locking the door,he leaves bowing to his mistress. Mrs. Schenard nodded,she was nervous.

"Make yourself at home"she glanced to her butler turning to her giving the cookies on the table.

"Thank you Mrs. Schenard"

"Kie is recovering okay, he's fever might have gotten into him these days but he'll not give up on me or you his friends either. I'm also worried in his poor conditions lately yet I can't check on him everyday"

"Is it really a fever Mrs. Schenard?"asks Julius.

"I cannot answer that"before sipping a cup of coffee.

"Then can we watch our Kie when he sleeps?"Clarce begging to his limit,his feelings driving him to risk for Kie only to see him.

"B-but..."Clenching her fist.

The two stared on each other,they stand on their feet bowing to the mother who adopted Kie giving her thanks.

"Okay Mrs. Schenard we will not come any further it's family matters right?"Julius says.

"Mrs. Schenard let us know anything if he isn't okay we'll be there for him"he stopped and looked straight to her eyes"we'll be there to the day of his death"Clarce continued.

"He is our master,our light to this dim dark world"Julius added.

"We are his and his alone to use ,we swore an oath"

"An oath to the death and journey in thorns, we'll be his shield to protect him from any harm that might come"

"Never taking the side of anybody else but his"Clarce ended.

They turned the door, Kie's mother dumbfounded by their loyalty and love,she knows what those of theirs have.

Thank the gods who blessed my son good friends, they're willing for it and I must answer she thought.

"Wait!"she reached her hand stopping them.

"Why Mrs. Schenard?"Clarce tilted his head.

"Are you ready to face the truth of his fever?"she pursed her lips ,she trembled at the thought of what might happen but she was faithful.

"Ready from what truth?"Julius understanding nothing,he wondered off nowhere.

I'm not sure of how they'll react to it. It's time to tell them they're his friends...no that's not they're his lovers...yes that's the term,how my son so dumb could not fall for these handsome men, it's quite disappointing.

She pulled their hands,they grunted. She hastily dragged them upstairs where Kie is in,her footsteps became slower as they came closer,she inhales.

"Here goes nothing"
