Rogue

Chapter 19

J's P.O.V

My life is weird now.

I live in Levi's cave now. Today was my second day here, but it was still strange. It was really, really big and made of trees not rocks like mine.
But I liked trees, so I liked his cave.

There were things about Levi's cave that were weird. Like how the water came from anywhere, you just had to turn the top part really hard and it'd appear. There was also this cold box which had all the food, I think it went hunting when we slept because it was always full. But I didn't understand why it kept the food cold when the black top would make it hot again.

Why couldn't the box keep it hot?
Or the black top could go hunting instead?

I don't even know how to start unraveling this one - Roger sighs in my mind.

I didn't ask you to - I growl back. I hear a creak from outside the door and hold my breath, squeezing my knees super tight.

Just because you hold your breath doesn't mean he won't find you.

Shut up Roger - I spit trying to keep my chest from beating too fast.

How I, Roger the magnificent, ended up as your wolf still preceeds me - Roger comments making me laugh a little.

Roger the magnificent? I don't know what that means but that sounds too nice for a troll like you 

Wow, troll. You learnt a new word, I should tell Levi to keep reading you more bed time stories!

Levi lo-

The doors swing open allowing some of the day light in, exposing me to my predator. I look up to see Levi smiling down at me as he gripped the wood in his hands.

"Found you." He says with a widening smile.

This is all your fault Roger!

Please explain to me how this is my fault. Please!

"Now, let's not waste anymore time." Levi says offering me his hand. I knew from the past that running didn't help, he'd always find me.

So I take his smaller hand instead and let him pull me to my feet. He pushes himself up on his toes to press his lips to my nose before pulling me to the room of waters.

The bathroom. It's called a fucking bathroom - Roger insists with rising anger. I've told you this literally a hundred times! It's a bathroom not a room of waters, that doesn't even make any sense!

It's a room filled with water. Water comes from everything in the room. So it's a room of waters - I reply simply before redirecting my attention to Levi who was already looking at me.

"What I'd give to hear what you and your wolf talk about?" He says and I frown at that. I didn't understand everything that he said, but he said wolf which meant Roger and anything with Roger was never good.

Thanks buddy - He scoffs.

Always.

"Now let's get you in before the water becomes too cold." He says as he dips his water into the steaming water.

Since Levi brought me here, he said that every morning we had to take something called a shower, to get clean. But I didn't like them, I felt like the water was trying to bury me.
So Levi said we could try the bathtub today, but now that it had so much hot water, I didn't want to do it anymore.

"I'll be right here the entire time." Levi whispers as he presses his lips to my shoulder making my insides swirl. I look at him for a moment before nodding. I take off the clothes on my legs he made me sleep in before raising one and putting it inside the hot water.
