Whispering woke Russell up, but he kept his eyes closed as he worked on figuring out who was in the room with him. When the voices rose, he recognised both Lam and War.

“Did you tell him anything about where I was?”

“Do you think I’m an idiot? What could I have told him? You were off starting another war in some third-world country. Do you really think he’d have believed me?” Lam sounded outraged.

War grunted as if Lam had hit him. “I’m not sure you want me to answer that. I wouldn’t put it past you to make some comment like that.”

“Of course I didn’t say anything. I’m not a complete fuck-up who’s risking everything by falling in love with a mortal.”

“What? I’m not falling in love with him. I just see a lot of myself in Russell, that’s all.”

“Right. And I’m really Morningstar.”

“Don’t joke about him, Lam. You know he has ears everywhere and he’d love to get his hands on you.” War’s voice held fear.

Who was Morningstar? Why would he want to get hold of Lam? Who were they? Russell had the oddest feeling that none of them was human. Maybe it was their weird eyes, or the comments they’d made while talking to him, yet he found he wasn’t worried about them not being human. Stupid, but he felt safe with all of them.

“Don’t worry about Morningstar. He hasn’t left his cave since He threw them out. Getting back to the real topic of conversation, if you don’t love him now, you will soon enough.”

“Now you can see the future?” Annoyance coloured War’s words.

“Only when it comes to obnoxious Horsemen. Now I have to get back to what I was doing before Death interrupted me. I hope he doesn’t make it a regular habit. Of course, there’s only two of you left who haven’t found your redemption. Is Famine next?”

“Get out of here. I know I won’t bother you again. You’ll have to talk to Death about what his plans are.”

A door opened and shut. Russell couldn’t make up his mind whether he should continue pretending to be asleep or act like he’d just woke up. His bladder made the decision for him. He jumped to his feet and rushed to the bathroom.

After taking care of business and cleaning up, he stepped from the other room and met War’s curious gaze.

“How long were you really awake?”

“Ummm…not very long.” He eased over to the bed and sat on the edge, fidgeting with the frayed hem of his T-shirt.

War’s low hum told Russell War didn’t believe him. He took a breath and looked up, meeting those black eyes.

“What are you? I mean, Lam mentioned Horsemen, and other guys named Death and Famine. I assume Pestilence is out there as well. Are you like the Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Are the end times coming?”

Russell watched as War rubbed his jaw for a moment while studying him. He didn’t know what War was thinking, but he couldn’t help the fact that his body found War extremely attractive.
