Chapter 11
"ENOUGH!" I yelled causing both of them to look at me.
"Let's just go home." I said sore and exhausted, without a word I went towards the exit before realizing that I had lost the umbrella and it was still raining. I then sunk to the floor and hugged my knees to my chest as it hit me that I had no idea how to get back to the hotel.
"Morgan what's wrong?" Rameses asked in a monotone.
"You don't even care do you, the only reason you're still near me is that if I die you die. I hate you so just leave me alone alright." I replied spitefully feeling tears welling in my eyes but the words felt hollow to me.
"That isn't true." Rameses stated not a shred of emotion in his voice or expression as he approached me.
" I said go away!" I screamed, as soon as I said it it seemed as if someone had hit Rameses causing him to be sent flying across the massive hall. Jasper stood in shocked confusion as I lept and ran to Rameses, he was limp like a ragdoll and although he was breathing he was only staring forward.
"Are you okay!" I exclaimed as I picked him up cradling him in my arms. He gave no response worrying me even more.
"We need to find someone to help him." Jasper said standing just behind me. I turned to look at him only to find he had blue flames engulfing his body his hand outstretched to me. Without thinking I took his hand and was transported back to the hotel when we got there I had to lean down as Jasper fell to the floor as a toddler unconscious. I scooped him up into my free arm before I dashed to the room Sorcha and I were sharing kicking the door instead of knocking. As soon as Sorcha opened the door I rushed in and set the soaking wet comatose cat and the unconscious toddler on the bed. Sorcha said something but I was to focused on Rameses and Jasper to hear her. I felt Jaspers forehead and it felt cold as ice so I wrapped him in blankets holding him in my lap before turning to Rameses. I picked him up but he was still unresponsive so I cradled him again trying to see if he would even notice me.
"Rameses are you okay?" I asked hoping to get some sort of response only to receive none. At that point Sorcha returned with a few towels which she set on the edge of the bed. She reached to take Jasper from my lap and laid him on the bed when I gave her no objection. She then reached for Rameses only stopping when I glared at her.
"You need to change out of those wet clothes and he needs to be dried off." Sorcha reasoned as she took Rameses from me. I got up and pulled some clothes from my travel case before going to the bathroom and changing. As I was changing I noticed long red claw marks on my back although they weren't bleeding they were still painful to the touch. After I finished changing I returned to the bedroom to find Rameses laying on the bed while Sorcha was taking Jasper's temperature by holding his mouth shut around a thermometer, her laptop open next to her.
"His body temperature is low for a toddler." Sorcha said after the thermometer beeped, Jasper was losing color very quickly his breathing strained.
"Sorcha I need you to get some sort of alcohol anything and bring it here." I told her hoping the fire accelerant would give him some strength. As she dashed out of the room I took the blanket and wrapped it around both Jasper and I hoping my own body heat would keep him warm until Sorcha returned. I reached over and picked up rameses before laying him down on one side of Jasper before laying on the other side covering the three of us with the blankets.
"Do you really hate me?" Rameses asked surprising me as he finally looked at me.
"No I don't. Why didn't you respond to me? " I asked quietly.
"You gave me an order and because there was so much emotion behind your command and I disobeyed I was thrown and disoriented. After my head cleared a bit you were taking care of Jasper and I needed to think." Rameses replied.
"What do you mean, I was taking care of you before Sorcha sent me away?" I asked confused.
"Didn't you take out the beeping book like Sorcha's and take Jasper's temperature." Rameses asked true confusion in his voice.
"You must have been disoriented that was Sorcha not me." I replied chuckling.
" I'm back." Sorcha said a beer bottle in hand. I sat up and used pillows to sit Jasper up before taking the beer and opening it thankfully it was a twist cap. I opened his mouth and poured some of the beer into his mouth causing his skin to get some of its color back after the entire bottle was empty he seemed the size of a five year old but was still asleep.
" You should get some sleep you look like you need it." Sorcha said turning off the light and leaving the room.
"I do care about you I always have." Rameses whispered after a few moments.
"You've only known me for a few days." I reasoned although afterwards it struck me that he probably saw me when he was a statue.
"In this life perhaps but I promised that I would always keep you safe." Rameses replied looking at me his golden feline eyes catching the light from the window causing them to glow eerily.
"You mean you promised Bast right?" I asked since it seemed like the most likely answer.
"No, I promised you that in your past life." Rameses said looking away.
"You knew me in my past life?" I asked wondering who I had been perhaps an egyptian queen or maybe even Cleopatra herself.
"Yes." Rameses replied curtly sitting up.
"Who was I?" I asked wanting to know more.
"You were kind and fair." Rameses replied evading my question.
"But who was I, what was my name." I pressured, sitting up as well.
"It doesn't matter anymore you live in this life not that one." Rameses stated laying back down curling up to sleep with his back to me.
"Can we talk about it in the morning?" I asked only to be ignored which was answer enough.
