Chapter 227: Clues (5)

"Isaac."

"You!" Isaac shrieked, caught off guard by Xavier’s arrival. "Where did you go? You could at least give me a heads-up before you run off somewhere. Why are your ears bleeding?" He asked, confused by the unusual sight. "Did someone stab you in both ears?"

Xavier wiped away the blood dripping from his ears. He had pushed himself a little too far today. "No. We need to go. I have a lot to share with you."

"I think we should take a look at your ears first. If someone didn’t injure them and they are just bleeding for no reason then we need to go to a doctor," Isaac said, stepping closer to Xavier for a better look.

Isaac wanted to return Xavier to Selene just as he found him.

"It is fine," Xavier said, walking ahead so Isaac could follow.

The reason for his ears bleeding wasn’t something he wanted to speak about here.

Isaac followed closely, keeping an eye on Xavier’s ears. "Are you dying? Right, I shouldn’t ask that here," he put his hands up to show he didn’t want to fight.

Isaac followed Xavier to the carriage they came in. He was curious about where Xavier wandered off to.

Isaac waited for the carriage to get far out of the market before he questioned Xavier but seeing Xavier sitting with his eyes closed, he figured there was much more wrong than Xavier was letting on.

"If you got yourself injured and you don’t want any doctor to know about it then I can help you. I’ve patched myself up a lot of times when the healing seemed slow. Let me help you," Isaac said, unable to sit and do nothing.

"It’s healing so stay away from me. For someone who is not my friend, you care a lot about my ears. You’re too loud. Be quiet for a moment," Xavier answered.

Isaac didn’t think he needed to be Xavier’s friend to care about his ears. For now, he remained quiet and waited for Xavier to heal in silence.

Moments like this reminded Isaac that Xavier wasn’t some kind of God as others claimed. He was a normal vampire who could be hurt at times.

’A normal vampire who knows how to get around fast,’ Isaac thought.

An hour of silence fell on the carriage as they headed to the estate.

Xavier opened his eyes once his hearing was better. "Magic stones have that effect on my ears if I overdo it trying to listen beyond their magic. I went to the church to see if she would meet with the priest and she did."

Xavier closed his eyes again, needing more silence as a pain formed in his ears again.

"I will do that. I have more to ask but I am concerned about the noise for you. Are you certain you want to go home now? You can go elsewhere and rest. You don’t seem to be in good shape now," Isaac said, wanting to avoid worrying Selene. "My home isn’t too far from here."

"I am fine. They are just healing right now. Even though their fountain has dried up, we must still find it. There is always a chance it could be filled again. We are lucky that they cannot bless holy water themselves," Xavier said, continuing to push through the pain.

He could feel his ears healing so there wasn’t any cause for concern.

Isaac was still worried but he decided to speak as Xavier wanted. "Perhaps they are being punished by their God. The moment they hurt innocent children, perhaps they lost sight of their faith and the hand that helped them was no longer there. I wouldn’t help them after that."

Isaac liked to see both sides so he understood very well why the humans would attack vampires who attacked them. They had every right to do so and those vampires needed to be punished but they lost him when they harmed innocent families who co-existed with humans.

"My father used to say the purebloods are cursed to live forever and watch what is not like us die. Maybe what is happening with the church and the holy water is their punishment," said Isaac.

It was a fitting one since the humans abused what was given to protect them.
