Chapter 12

May 9th, 989

BILLIAM AND Micah took the long way around the creek to return to their camp from the last night to retrieve their clothes. Billiam set him down atop the quilt on which he had experienced ecstasy mere hours earlier. Staring at his fragile prince there now, he felt his resolve cracking.

Micah was concerned as he saw the tears welling up in Billiam’s eyes. Before he could inquire, Billiam embraced him so tight he could hardly breathe. “Oh, Micah, I am so sorry. I cannot lose you again. We are lucky they were so stupid. Had they been any more competent, you and Shemmy would be gone and I would be a corpse. I was too greedy….” He trailed off as he fell to his knees, clutching Micah’s legs desperately.

Micah realized he was not nearly as shaken as he probably should have been. His three days alive thus far still felt like a dream, and the four years prior to his death, he was only allowed to experience reality when the cardinal wanted. He had become so detached, everything was simply passing him by. The idea of being with Billiam again had been the only thing keeping him human. Seeing him in this state allowed Micah’s own emotions to surface, although he was not ready for that, not at all.

His crying sounded like a child, a loud wail escaping his mouth before he fell completely to the ground. The tears wouldn’t stop. The sounds wouldn’t stop. He couldn’t grab Billiam as he wanted and tell him it would be okay. He rolled onto his back and pulled his legs to his chest. The feelings of his four-year suffering were coming out; they refused to be stored in his frail body any longer.

His mother’s and father’s faces flashed through his mind, covered in blood and missing their eyes, just as he had last seen them. Billiam passed by too, getting wrenched from his arms and thrown away from him. Aldrious was towering over him, calling him worm, burning his flesh and cackling. When will this stop? Will this ever stop? thought Micah as the torrent of repressed feelings ravaged his reborn mind.

He found suddenly he could not thrash. A groan of pain tried to emerge, but he could make no sound. Billiam’s lips covered his own, and his body pinned down each of Micah’s limbs. His eyes were loving and concerned. He was not trying to force himself on the prince, as his position suggested; rather he simply wanted to interrupt his fit. He knew of no better way to accomplish it.

Billiam felt Micah growing slightly calmer, tears still spilling from his eyes, yet his attempts to flail had ceased. Billiam kept his lips pressed hard against Micah’s mouth, not wanting to ever hear such a heart-wrenching wail escape him again. To his delight, instead of a cry, he kissed him back. Billiam relaxed, feeling he could let him go at last, and laid his head down on the prince’s chest.
