Faith looks lost. She keeps looking at me and Zachariah, who puts her out of her misery. He takes a deep breath.

“Gorgeous. Did he ever put knives down there? When he did those things to you?” Farlen nods her head. Faith runs to the kitchen again to puke. Holy fuck, how much horror has my sweet girl been through? Gods, I wish we could bring him back from the dead so we could kill him over and over. Faith comes back in more collected and sits down.

“Okay, wow, I wasn’t expecting that. Uhhhh well. I don’t really know how big either of them is, so I don’t know how to answer that. Uhhh, how big is Vashu?” Farlen tries to show her with her hands. Faith fans her face. Well, if my sweet girl thinks that is impressive, she may be in for a surprise then. Looks like I have something over the dragon then.

“Okay, and what about HIM?” I don’t want to hear this answer. Farlen looks around for something. She grabs two beans from the table and sticks them end to end. Wait, what the fuck? I look over at Zachariah. He nods.

Faith laughs. “Well, that might explain his rage! Oh, my Gods, how did you even feel that? Oh man, I’m going to be sick again.”

“Is Faith okay? Do we need to get Healer Daniel?”

“She’s okay, sweet girl. Some people get sick when they hearthings that are hard to hear.”

Faith comes out of the kitchen a few minutes later.

“Okay, I don’t think my stomach can handle any more revelations like that. I am going to head back to my dorm. Farlen, if you need anything or have any more questions, message me, okay? I will try to keep the messages smaller, sorry didn’t know you were using text to speech! Uh, you guys might as well get my number from her. If you ever need me for anything with her, let me know.” Faith walks over and gives Farlen a hug.

As she walks out the door, she blows Farlen a kiss and then leaves. Farlen looks so confused. I don’t have the heart to explain it to her tonight. She looks at me and then looks at Zachariah. He has a faraway look in his eyes; I don’t think he’s all here right now. Farlen yawns.

“Why don’t you go get ready for bed, sweet girl? I’m sure Vashu and Xander will be back soon and want to hug you before you go to sleep.” As soon as I hear the water turn on, I shake Zachariah. He looks to where Farlen was and looks around.

“She’s getting ready for bed. Where did your thoughts take you? I’m trying to stay out of everyone’s head.”

“It’s what Faith said. If he really was that small, she wouldn’t have been able to feel him. Then I remember her saying he used knives. We need to have a healer look her over, but I don’t think I can let Healer Daniel do it, and there’s no fucking female healers on staff. We may need to ask about a student. I know there’s at least one female student who has the gift of healing. Which we still need to talk to the others about.”

I send Vashu and Xander a message to tell them Faith is gone, and we need to talk. A few minutes later, Vashu strolls through the door, and Xander comes in behind him, panting.

“It’s not a fair race if you use your wings! It was supposed to be a footrace through the forest, not you just flying off and saying you win!”

“Xander shut up for a few minutes. We learned some more stuff tonight, which I think we will tell you one night outside, because the house wouldn’t be able to withstand your angerfrom this. But uh, we need to talk about if everyone is okay with Farlen having students heal her scars. She says she is, but there are risks to it, ya know. They could overload her body and stop her heart.”

“If it’s what she wants, then do it,” Vashu says.

“I don’t think all those scars are very comfortable for her. I would love to see her without all of them, but they don’t really matter to me. She’s still perfect with them.” Xander says.

“If it’s what she wants, we will do it. We also need to see how you guys feel about a student female healer checking over her vaginal area. Some of the shit she said tonight has me worried that we may be overlooking something.” I don’t know what Zachariah is thinking, but if he’s worried about it, then maybe it’s something we should do.

“Honestly man, if it is something you’re that worried about, I would rather not trust a student with it. Healer Daniel has his own match group, and he has a daughter. I don’t have a problem with him looking so long as one of us is there. The scars? She said she wanted it, so I’m game.”

“Overlooking what?” Vashu says, his nostrils are flaring out and his eyes keep blinking like the dragon is trying to take over.

“Vashu, if I tell you what I am afraid of, you’re either going to take down the entire house, or half the school, so for now you’re just going to have to trust me.”

“Farlens out of her bath and is getting dressed. Gods, I hope she has more short skirts like that somewhere, and are all her underwear thongs?” I roll my eyes at Xander.

A few minutes later, Farlen comes out in some silky pajamas. She walks over and gives me a hug, next she hugs Xander and then Vashu. When she hugs Zachariah, she pulls him down to her and talks in his ear. He nods at her and smiles at us.

“Go lay down gorgeous. I will be there in a minute, need to talk to the guys for a second.”

She nods and walks down the hallway, yawning the entire time.

“She’s afraid that she’s going to have bad dreams tonight. Itold her to wake me up if she ever had them and I’d hold her for the night to help keep them away. She wants me to sleep next to her tonight. So we will see how this first night goes, then you all should offer to hold her when she sleeps, if you think you can keep your hands to yourself.”

“The incubus is lecturing us about keeping our hands to ourselves! How do we know you will keep yours to yourself?” Xander asks.

“Because, unlike all you fuckwits, I am not ruled by what I am. Yes I am an incubus, yes I want to bury my face in that sweet little pussy and have her writhing beneath me, but I can control my damn urges. It would hurt her for any of us to rush it, and I won’t be the one to do it. I can read her body language, and can tell what she likes. But I refuse to be the one to start anything with her. I will let her come to me, because it will be so much fucking better than trying to coax her into something she may not be ready for.” He smirks at me. “I am not fucking two beans big, and it would fucking scare her, so I am going to keep my hands to myself, I am going to hold our girl so she knows that she is safe, and that nothing is going to hurt her. Including us.”

He opens Farlens door and shuts it behind him.
