Best Friend For Hire Reprise, Entry 383

 “Iris.” stated Mila from the wall in my room.

 “Hmm?” I asked, wondering what could be so important that she’d interrupt my studies.  Mila never interrupted my studies.  Wait.  Why was MIla interrupting my studies!?

 In a sympathetic tone, Mila explained “Your brother, Mick, is here in the infirmary, having been seriously injured, and I thought you might be inclined to visit him after he’s been treated.  I wouldn’t have told you quite yet, but I understand it is customary to…  Iris?”

 I ran, sprinting out of my room and down the hall before she had finished, ignoring her trying to call me back.  I remembered the infirmary.  I had visited a month after I was hired here to get a band-aid for a scrape.  What could have happened to Mick that he’d need to be here instead of a hospital?  I ran into the door, surprised that Mila hadn’t opened it for me yet.

 “Mila, open this door.” I told her.

 “No, Iris.  I’m terribly sorry, but you need…” she started, stopping when I interrupted her.

 “I need to see my brother!  Open this door, Mila!!” I told her, futilely hitting it again.  The wood shattered, and steel could be seen beneath it.

 “Not yet.” stated James, appearing out of nowhere.  “Your brother’s being treated.  He’ll be fine soon.”

 I hugged him, believing him, but wanting to hear more.  “James, how can you know?” I asked, practically demanding an answer from him.

 “First, control yourself.  You’re damaging…” he told me, motioning around us with his hand.  “Everything, really.  You’d damage the equipment if you stepped in there, not that my wife’s likely to be using any.”

 I looked around and was stunned at the damage.  The wooden facade had splintered all around us, not just where I had struck.  What remained was blackened and charred from the electricity that was still shooting out wildly from my body.  When did I grow this strong?

 “You’re lucky you didn’t start a fire, though this will give Raine plenty of practice fixing things for at least a minute I’d think.” commented James, not sounding the least bit concerned about the damage.  He gently turned my head to face him as he said, “Deep breaths.  Come on.”

 I listened and did as he asked, taking deep breaths and willing my magic to obey.  “Mick really will be okay?”

 “Of course.  You’re not trying to insult my wife’s medical expertise, are you?  Alma is a very capable doctor.” he replied with a kind smile.

 “No…” I replied immediately, only realizing afterward that could be misinterpreted.  “I mean, I’m sure she is.  No, I wasn’t doubting her.  It’s just… my brother’s in there.”

 “Yes.  He’ll never be the same again.” stated James.

 “What!?  What’s wrong with him?” I asked, wincing as a small bolt of lightning shot from my hand into the wall.  I quickly started breathing deeply again, trying to remain calm.

 “I don’t know that ‘wrong’ would be the right term.  He’ll be able to fly now.  That’s something, right?” suggested James with a kind look.  What was he even talking about?

 “Huh?” I asked dumbly.

 “I suppose Mila didn’t tell you anything more than he was ‘gravely injured’ or that she was calling your parents.  You did call her parents, didn’t you?” questioned James.

 Speaking from the walls down the hall, Mila said, “Of course, Master, and I had said ‘seriously injured’, not ‘gravely’ as you put it.”

 “Ah.  Well, he could’ve died, but he won’t.  Victory, right?” insisted James with a smile.

 “Y-You shouldn’t… t-tease.” stated Raine, passing through the steel door as if she was a ghost.

 “Raine!  How is he?” I asked, certain that Raine would tell me.

 “N-No scars.” she replied immediately.

 “Scars take weeks!  Is he awake?” I questioned, wishing I could tear answers from her, despite part of my reminding me I couldn’t even give Raine’s hair split ends.

 Raine nodded and said, “Alma’s t-talking… with h-him.”

 “Oh, I forgot to mention that Mick will heal very fast by human standards.  He’ll get all of the perks, such as greater speed, strength, and flying!  I love flying, though I need spells to do it well.” claimed James as he watched me.

 Finally, Mila showed me mercy, saying, “What my master is not telling you is that Mick was bitten by a therianthrope, a wereraven would be one term.  The genetic change had already started by the time he called.  He would’ve completed the change and been fine if he hadn’t lost so much blood.  People really should know to stop the bleeding before attempting to escape too far.”

 “M-Mila!” exclaimed Raine.

 “What?  They should.” she insisted.

 “Is Raine the only one taking this seriously?” I demanded, doing my best to glare at them all.  Somewhere in the back of my mind, a more rational part of me was trying to claim this wasn’t that serious for them.  What couldn’t they do with magic?  Raine had built a fortress with a stray thought.

 “Iris, what’s done is done.  Nothing we can do will change the past, so you’ll just have to help Mick learn the joys of being what he is now.  He’ll find there are many perks once he acclimates.” explained James with a slightly more serious expression.  “Oh, I might need your help in convincing your parents that Mick should stay here for a few weeks, minimum.”

 “What?  Why?” I asked warily.

 “M-Mick needs t-time.” stated Raine, looking worried as she fidgeted.

 James nodded and said, “Yes.  Until his body chemistry fully adjusts, he’ll probably be a bit volatile.  Then there’s the increased appetite as well as occasional confusion between hunger and… other emotions.”

 “What about his attacker?” I asked, wanting to know what became of the person who did this to my brother.

 “In the dungeon.  Talk with your brother before you meet her.” insisted James.

 “There’s a dungeon!?” I asked in surprise.

 Raine nodded, looking up at James sheepishly.  “Y-Yes.”

 “I don’t mind.” he assured her.

 The door opened, and Alma stepped out, completely covered in blood.

 “What happened!?” I exclaimed, doubting my brother even had that much blood in him.

 Mick started laughing from within the room, and my panic quickly became anger.  This was so typical of him.

 “Sorry.  He insisted.” claimed Alma as she dispelled the illusion.

 “Mick, I’m going to…” I started, fighting down my anger and magic while reminding myself that he was injured.  “That wasn’t funny!”

 “I wish I could’ve seen your face!” he exclaimed.

 “Mila, mind showing him?” asked James as he smiled at me.

 “Of course not, Master.” answered Mila immediately.

 Mick kept laughing even after I entered the room, faced with my horrified expression displayed on the wall.  I hit him… repeatedly.  He was obviously fine now.  Eventually, we started talking.

 “Okay, so there was this girl I had sort of been seeing.  I mean…  We weren’t dating-dating, but we went out together a few times.  She was cool, so when she told me that she wanted to show me something, I followed her.  There’s this abandoned building somewhat near to our college, and we went inside and up aways.  Then she turned into a giant raven, which was really neat… up until she bit me.” he explained, frowning at the last part.  “I panicked and sort of shocked her.  When she fell, I just ran.  I didn’t realize I was bleeding that bad, and I probably made it worse bumping into things.  When I noticed all of the blood, I called here, and Raine had me in this room before I even noticed that she came for me.”

 I listened as he spoke, uncertain how I felt about the situation.  The girl was probably trying to transform him, so they could be together, which meant Mick had been leading her on if he wasn’t that serious.  Unless, of course, the girl was just crazy, and then she probably jumped the gun.  Either way, she should have talked to him first, but..  I sighed, feeling a little mad at both of them.  I knew how Mick could be with girls.

 “Mick, I have something to tell you too…  James wants you to stay here for a while, probably just a few weeks, but maybe longer.” I told him, deciding he was well enough to take the news.

 “What?  Why?” he asked in surprise.

 I shrugged and said, “You’re a wereraven now.  You need time to adjust.  You know he’s a wizard, so there isn’t a better place for you to learn about what you can do now.”

 He nodded, but he didn’t look too happy.

 “Also, our parents are coming.  Dad’s gonna be against it.” I informed him.  “You’ll need to decide whose side to take.”

 “Do you think I should stay here?” he asked, staring at me to see my reaction.

 I hesitated for only a moment before saying, “I trust James.  If he thinks you should stay, you should stay.”

 Mick let out a long sigh.  Then he said, “Dad’s going to be ticked.  You better be backing me up.”

 “I’ll be there.” I told him, squeezing his forearm.

 Getting Dad to calm down would take some work, but we’d manage.  If worse comes to worst, James would bring him around somehow.  Hopefully, Mom would take our side and help Dad deal with the situation.  Taking a deep breath, I started discussing what to say with Mick.
