Where you are by Kennan Te
"what do you mean he is not a Fey? Just look at him, he—he looks like—", James forgot what he was saying as his eyes lingered longer on the face lying unconscious in front of him.The boy's face looked as if it was carved on to the finest china, he had long lashes and a high set of cheek bones. There was a scar at the side of his left eyebrow piercing it into a slit.
He looked too beautiful to be human. Too peaceful.
"I never said he is not fey, he is a hybrid", Sara said, distracted as she shuffled around with the boy's jacket to find any hidden weapons.
"So like half Fey and half human?", James asked.
"No, he is half Fey and half werewolf, no part of that thing is human", Sara said in an annoyed tone. "He has no weapons on him except that dagger, how was he surviving in the forest all this time?", she turned to James with a questionable look.
James was thinking the same thing, this boy had no weapons on him except an old looking and worn out dagger. The only explanation could be—
"Let me take a look at that dagger again."
"Here", she said handling him the dagger. It was an old thing, almost vintage. He sliced the leather off from its handle and just as he had thought, there they were, ancient markings.
"Take a look at this", he told Sara and she suddenly gasped loudly.
"It can't be, why are there markings on his dagger, no worlock would help a Fey, let alone someone who is a filthy hybrid" , Sara was beginning to sound more disgusted than annoyed.
"Well ,it does bring up more questions than answers", James sighed taking another look at the limp body lying peacefully in front of them.
"Let's take him to the camp, Commander Zin would know what to do with him" ,Sara said moving in front of him and tackling the body on one of her soulders. "Damn he is heavy, you take him!"
James took the body into his arms but to his surprise he felt lighter than James had expected.
Sara was right, taking him to the camp was the best option in front of them. If they were to leave him at the entrance of the dark forest, he would certainly be dragged into it again by some stray creatures. If he would have been a complete Fey, they would have just opened a portal to the land of Fey and pushed him through but sending a hybrid, even if he was partially Fey was equivalent to sending him to his death. The Fey were creatures with great pride and ego, if they were to find that there was one of them who had reproduced with another creature, that too someone as wild as a werewolf, they would come to kill the boy themselves.
Sara opened a portal for them and they entered the camp with the unconscious boy.
James covered the boy's face with the hood of his jacket as other students from the junior years tried to take a look at the body being bought into the commander's office.
"Side, move away, comming through" , Sara shouted at the top off her lungs, clearing the path in front of them.
"Stupid juniors, they are so hungry for drama, always poking there noses into things they don't even understand", sara mummer under her breath angrily.
James wanted to remind her that they didn't understand anything about this situation either but then decided otherwise. He let her have her main character moment and kept on moving forward.
They entered Commander Zin's office. He was sitting behind a pile of papers kept on his desk, his hair were all messed up and his usually proper bookshelves were flooded with papers and blueprints.
"Commander!", Sara saluted with a straight stance and her right hand on the left side of her chest.
"Yes, what is it soldier?", he said without looking up from his documents.
"Sir, we found this boy at the entrance of the dark forest, he is unconscious but we can't find any wounds on his body", James said.
The commander suddenly jerked his head upwards, taking a look at the boy he quickly got up and took the body from James's arms and placed him flat on his office sofa. "Marvin, Marvin, wake up boy", the commander wispered, tightly shaking the body.
"He is breathing", Sara said at the same time as James said, "You know him?".
Sara looked at James and suddenly realised that the commander had been calling the boy by his name. "Yes, how do you know him?", she asked with a shocked expression.
