213–4 Told Him He Is A Monster
Enya‘s POV:
“How are you feeling?” I asked Oswin, watching him blink his eyes to get rid of the blurriness.
“I am fi–ne,” he closed his eyes again to rest a bit more.
“I wonder what he did to him,” Lazlo expressed his concern as he watched Oswin sit in the bed and rub his hands over his face.
“Where is Thiago?” he mumbled on his palms, getting out of sleep.
“We kicked him out of the room. He will pay for whatever he did to you,” I reassured him that Thiago would not get away with his crimes.
Oswin removed his hands from his face and stared at my face, and then shared a glance with Lazlo.
“What are you two talking about?” he asked, sounding clueless.
“The crimes of Thiago will be exposed soon.” It was Lazlo’s turn to inform Oswin we were onto Thiago already. He might be a sneaky monster, but we were not fools, either. We just needed someone who could help us get information on how to control a Lycan.
“Crimes?” Oswin pouted. “Wait a minute, what is going on here? Why did you kick him out?” Oswin inquired again, but this time more aggressively.
“Hey, calm down. You need to understand he is not what he says he is,” I too got aggressive with him.
“Bring Thiago here,” Oswin commanded to bring Thiago and that request alarmed Lazlo and me. We shared a glance and then watched Oswin‘s face pitifully. We couldn’t be sure what Thiago fed him, but it was not looking good for him.
“You should first try to get a hold of yourself. Whatever he injected in you might still be in your body,” I was trying to calm him down because he was beginning to panic a little.
“What are you talking about?” Oswin shook his head at us. It was going to be a bit hard for him, just the way it was for us. I don‘t even remember when Thiago and Oswin grew this close, but I can expect Thiago to attract anyone he wants.
“When we got in here, you were passed out with Thiago holding an empty syringe next to the bed,” Lazlo explained the complete scene to him. The sudden appearance of a smile on Oswin‘s face called us fools in many languages.
“Oh! That,” Oswin laughed a little, “That was something I asked him to do,” he repeated what Thiago told us as well. It just confused us. Was he telling the truth, or was he under Thiago‘s control?
“What? Why would you ask him to inject wolfbane into you?” | almost snapped at him for being such a fool.
“That wasn‘t–oh wait! We need Thiago here first,” Oswin pushed us out of his way so that he could roll out of the bed and have a coherent conversation with us.
“We need to discuss the monster first.” I got on my feet to stop him from calling Thiago. He had his phone in his hand while he was texting him.
“Let him come here first,” Oswin stated. He didn‘t look worried in any way.
“No! You are not getting us. Thiago will kill us if he finds out we know something is up.” Lazlo was as desperate as I was. Whatever was happening to him was all Thiago‘s fault.
