Chapter Sixty Two

OSIRIS AGE 18

M I S T A K E : I MADE A MISTAKE..

“Where is he.”

Luella was drunk in her foyer waiting for her little brother to show up. She purposely had a couch and little area set up so she could see his face when he arrived.

He was livid.

She smirked into her glass.

“If you hurry you might find him alive. Third floor.”

She expected him to kill everyone in her castle today. She hummed as he stormed up the stairs.

Axel wanted to kill it, but she wanted to break it. She knows how hard he’s been working to fix that pup, and she didn’t like how happy he was about it. She swirled her wine as she heard a commotion begin.

Not like he'll kill her.

She smirked.

No matter what they do to him, he doesn’t fight back. No matter how many times they try to kill him, hurt him, kill his friends, he still hasn’t moved. She wasn’t sure why, but she was going to take full advantage of it before he began.

Not like he can do much but throw his fists and money around.

She felt him freeze at the third floor.

He made a mistake.

He was supposed to be there for fifteen minutes at most. His sooks were in class and he had to stop by Kou’s real quick. He-

The door was kicked straight across and through the opposing wall. Sunlight tore into the room. There were three of them on him. Osiris ripped their spines out. He was panting, angry beyond what he felt when his sooks were hurt. His..his boy was hurting.

Osiris finally looked at him.

“Osiris?”

He was covered in seman. It wa sun his fur, eyes, nose, around his mouth-

He was looking at him like before.

“I-I-I I thought this is what you wanted.” He was shaking. “L-Luella said this is what you wanted. She said this is why you sent her-”

Osiris grabbed him despite his screaming and held him. His teeth clenched.

ICANTICANTICANTICANTIACNT-

He squeezed his eyes shut as Morpheus fought him.

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry-”

Osiris released a single sob.

“A-ah, n-no, don’t cry-” Morpheus hiccuped.

Osiris wiped his face and stood.

“Hold on.”

He did.

Luella could hear the screams of her people as her brother marched down the steps. She could smell blood. He walked straight past her and out the doors. She laughed loudly as he walked away.

“FUCK.”

Osiris threw everything off his desk in a fit of rage. He punched the table and it cracked in two. Morpheus stood in the back corner shaking.

“What happened this time?”

Sunnie and her boys popped their heads into the room and held their noses. It smelled like sex and- they looked at the pup and he looked like shit.

“LUELLA.”

The three cringed.

He was protective of them all, but Goss and Morph were his tipping points. They entered the room. Morph flinched and started to scream in the corner.

He threw a packet of paper at their feet.

“I WANT THESE WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET BY TONIGHT.”

Vep and Fibble picked up the stack that half spilled across the floor. They were every business the royals owned.

“I’ve been too complacent.”

His eyes were devoid of light.

“All of them?”

There was over a hundred.

“If you want to see the sun tomorrow, you will do it all TONIGHT.”

“Looks like we restalked our supplies at the right time boys!”

Sunnie smiled at Osiris with teeth.

“I call dibs on the Crown Prince’s lot.”

“I’ll take Mercedes.”

“I guess I’ll take the rest? It looks like the Queen has a bit mixed with her kids.”

“No, take care of Darwin and Luella, we can meet up to do the Queen’s together.”

“Leave the King’s. I can’t have them too poor for the war.”

The three flinched and looked at him.

“Are we starting now?!!”

Together they yelled.

“No. It’s with another.”

“Another, Osiris what do you mean?”

“We’ll talk later. Move.”

His men vanished in a flash of black.

Osiris held his head.

He wasn’t safe with him anymore.

Osiris turned and grabbed a bag and began to pack Morpheus’s things with a face racked in guilt. He was on the floor in a ball in the corner.

“Let’s take a short trip.”

There was a knock at the door.

Goss was just getting ready to tell her husbands goodnight. She walked to the door and peaked through a small hole she made. The door flew open and her cheeks flushed.

“Dad!”

She was about to jump him when she noticed the shaking mutt in his hands. Her fathers face looked tormented.

“I need your help.”

Her face became serious and she opened her door.

“Come in, let’s go to my office.”

“So he’s the new kid you adopted?”

Goss looked at the pup as waves of terror shook his body.

So this is him..

Osiris has told her about him. He was someone he decided to pick up on a whim, kind of like her. But he never told her he was this bad.

“Yeah..”

Her dad wasn’t acting normal. Usually he could recover from something like this..

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“What do you need me to do?”

Osiris sighed.

“I really hate to ask, but can he stay with you until..”

“Of course.”

That got the pups attention.

“W-what, stay?!”

Osiris rubbed his back.

“You’re not safe with me anymore.”

Osiris thought he was doing so well. He..he was never meant to be a father.

“A-I don’t, can’t, but-”

“I’ll stay for a week to settle him in.”

Morpheus started to quietly sob into his shirt.

He’s leaving me. He’s going to leave me again, mom is going to leave me AGAIN. IDONTWANTTOBEALONEANYMORE.

He used to dream of being left alone. That’s all he wanted when he lived with Luella. But now he had friends, and family.

What did he do wrong?

“I’ll show you to a guest room.”

“I wish I came with better news. This is the first time we’ve seen each other in ages.”

Osiris hasn’t even met her family yet.

“Don’t worry, I know you’re busy. We talk nearly every day, so I’m not broken up about it.” She giggled. “You can meet them tomorrow at breakfast, if you feel up for it.”

He smiled.

“Let me see how he’s doing tomorrow.”

“Okay, goodnight dad.”

“Night Goss.”

The first three days he only cried and sniffled, but he could talk. By the fifth day he was inconceivable. He refused to eat and drink, only crying and moaning in pain, little puffs of air wiggling his jowls. Osiris wasn’t feeling too good about his idea anymore.

His grandpa had a cat once.

They were attached at the hip, spending nearly every waking moment together. Whether he smoked, ate, pissed, or shit, that cat was by his side. When he died the cat laid in his bed, and a few weeks later passed underneath their trailer.

Osiris stroked the pup’s face. He leaned into it and hiccupped.

“You’re going to leave me soon. You’re going to leave meee-”

“I think I messed up again.”

I’m dirty, that’s why he’s leaving me.

Morpheus moaned as he tried to smear his scent into his skin. I shouldn’t have listened to Luella, SHE LIED! NOW HE WAS GOING TO BE ABANDONED AGAIN. AGAIN- what did he do? What did he do hatdidhedowhatdidhedo-

Goss touched his shoulder.

“Let me talk to him.”

Osiris waited outside for three hours. Goss came out with her head low, and a hard shake of her head.

“Thank you.”

Goss felt her eyes water as Osiris closed the door behind him. She wanted to be of help this time, but.. Goss went to her room.

Osiris found the pup huddled in bed.

“-eaving me. What did I do wrong?”

Osiris crawled into bed beside him.

“You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Then why are you leaving me?”

Osiris removed the covers and held him to his chest.

“I’m not leaving you.”

He couldn’t, not like this. He’ll die of a heartbreak.

“But you always keep your word.”

A big sob made the pup bump his snout on his chin.

“I made a mistake.” Osiris shoveled him higher up his chest. “You don’t have to leave if you don’t want to.”

“But you always keep your promises-”

Nothing he said was reaching him.

On the eighth day Osiris had the two of them packed and ready to go. He had a few extra goodies for the sooks, and hopefully something that will help the pup later on. He was still crying and repeating his mantra into his neck.

“Thank you.”

Osiris meant it.

“If he changes his mind I’ll always be here.”

She smiled through tear filled eyes.

“Love you.”

Goss launched herself and cried into his leg.

“I love you too, make sure the next time you visit to bring me something nice!”

Osiris smiled.

“Promise.”

The journey to Goss’s forced him through elven lands. The first time he passed it felt like something heavy was watching him. Now it felt like it was coming at them. Osiris felt a fire light in his ass as he bounced out of the territory and halfway home by the time it was at the border.

“..”

Things got ugly.

The siblings now fought when they met. If anyone saw one of their heads in the streets they would vacate the premises. The King couldn’t stop it all, and eventually all he could do was damage control.

Not just the siblings lost everything that night.

Thousands of nobles lost their entire opulence.

Osiris became the number one villain in the city overnight.

Mikael was just glad he was away for the moment.

That pup of his has him stuck in his dorm most of the time. Royals that are not attending are forbidden to enter the premises. The Headmaster even put up a barrier because of it.

Mikael rubbed his eyes.

Only his businesses were safe. He had the majority of the funds, but now, no one can afford to feed themselves without selling goods. And that's a problem all on its own.

No one can afford to buy the goods.

Someone barged into his office.

“Wha-”

It was Mercedes. Her cheeks were flushed red and her eyes were shining gold.

“I-I just had a prophecy from Lux!”

Morph had to be force fed water and food a few days later. After that he ate whatever they brought. Osiris cringed as he ate pieces of the wooden place. He was scared they’d do that to him again.

“Do you want more?”

“..”

He shook his head no.

“Okay.”

He moved the plates to his desk.

“What do you want to do?”

Morpheus was.. he was still scared he was going to leave him. He.. but he wasn’t forcing him.

“Can we lay down again?”

They’ve been bedridden for weeks.

“Sure, but later we are taking a walk outside.”

“Okay.”

Morpheus was a very honest dog. When he’s scared he speaks his mind, and Osiris learned just how badly he fucked up by going about it in the way he did. The pup thought he was leaving him because he slept with other men. He called himself dirty, bad, nasty. Osiris has heard those names his entire life, and not all of them were because he was gay.

His nana called him dirty because he was dark skinned. His mom called him bad after he fell off a jungle gym. His Tia called him nasty because he liked to play in mud.

“So how do you feel today?”

“..”

“I see.”

Another bad day.

“Do you want to see the fish later?”

There was a small pond on the school grounds. It was a make out spot, but when he arrives he clears the room. No one believes he’s a dog fucker anymore, but he did ruin a lot of their families businesses.

Sucks to suck.

“Yeah.”

“Okay.”

He gets the best results when he asks what he wants. Osiris didn’t care about getting him back to where they were before.

He kissed his forehead.

He just wanted him to be okay.

News of the prophecy spread like wildfire. It was a single sentence.

For he will spread it across the land like a plague.

No one could understand it, but it was foreboding.

Today was the first day Osiris heard about it.

“Repeat that.”

“For he will spread it across the land like a plague.”

“No, add a bit of excitement into it.”

“For he will spread it across the land like a plague!”

“..”

Did the god just give his sister a quote from Isabella?

“..”

So the King has moved his plans forward. He probably saw this as a great opportunity to add more harm before the war.

He sighed.

“Just a year away.”

Sunnie was not happy about it.

“So about the war…”

Osiris smiled at her.

Outside of Morpheus, he no longer held back his bloodlust towards anything. She could see the madness from the war returning with a vengeance.

“I won’t tell you with whom, since I don't trust the Queen to get a hold of you.” She came back with retribution. He guessed touching people’s money was the last straw. “But it’s going to be 10x more deadly than the last.”

Her face became grim.

The boys were trying to take Morpheus for a walk.. they haven’t left the hall yet.

“That’s why I’ve been training you three so hard.”

“How long have you known?”

Isn’t this curious. Sunnie has sharp eyes, and lying to her is pointless. She will know immediately. He grinned.

“Isn’t that something we’d all like to know.”

She rolled her eyes.

“Seriously.”

Osiris hummed.

“If I said, since I was a kid, would you believe me?”

Sunnie went to sneer but- he wasn’t lying.

“H-How-”

“Sorry love, but I’ll have to kill you if I told you.”

Sunnie felt her neck sweat.

“You know too much.”

He laughed.

“I feel like I don’t know enough.”

With his swaddled son he told his father he was off to find love and left for the week.

“Where are we going?”

His voice was hoarse.

He cried all last night thinking he was leaving him.

“To go save Kou’s crops!”

Kou would kill him if he ever found out he knew about this and didn’t prevent it. He was very serious about his food.

Kou and Insipid became permanent residents as the school cafeteria lunch ladies. Luella’s got desperate for fuck toys after that night and forced Kou out of his business, and into lunch duty. He was fine as long as he got to feed people. Weird cat.

His head looked up.

“Kou’s crops?”

“You remember that prophecy?”

He nodded.

“Well I’m thinking it has to do with food, so I’m going to go make sure Kou’s crops are safe at least.”

He would let it destroy a few crops that weren’t theirs. Now that the pavos have the upper hand with buying power, those that work in the services industry are booming. He could see the rise and fall of new and old nobles filling the streets.

The power structure was flipped.

While the nobles hated him, the civies loved him.

“I-Is that really it?”

“If you don’t believe me, just watch.”

And their little march commenced.
