Chapter 14 Mending Fences

Looking at the time when awoke from his deep slumber, Marcus realised that it was almost noon. Careful not to wake Maria or Kristopher, he quietly made his way into the main room of the cabin.

He could now hear the voices, and was overjoyed when he heard the sound of Joshua's voice. His best friend was back on his feet. He couldn't help but wonder how long it had been since they had fixed him up.

"Well well...look who decided to rise from the dead." Eric joked, being the first to notice his half-brother.

"Ha ha very funny." Marcus replied, rubbing his eyes to gain better focus.

"Bro, can I talk to you in private?" Joshua asked, standing up and turning to face his best friend.

Now that he got a better look at him, he could see the change instantly. The young blonde was no longer pale, and his emerald green eyes were now full of life instead of dull.

"Sure." Marcus agreed and flashed him a small smile.
