Erik slowly closed the door with a sigh. What was a healer? He wondered as he walked back over to the bed and sat down before he slowly took his mask to reveled his disinformed face. He raised his hand to touch his face and let out a quiet sob so that the brother's did not hear him. They would hate him for his face. They would fear him, he's sure of that. Erik sighed and looked at the door when he heard the oldest brother talking. His voice boomed in his ears. Erik wondered why he talked so loudly. The boy sighed and looked over to his mask that sat on the end table. He let out a growl and closed his eyes but opened them when he saw that cage and that man that 'took care of him.' He did not do that in fact he…Erik shook his head and closed his eyes. 'Maybe, just a little rest.' He thought pulling the covers over his face so when someone walked in they did not see his face. He closed his eyes and fell into an uneasy sleep.
Theseus looked at Newt who was writing in his journal with a small smile on his face. Theseus smiled at him, but he sighed at the fact that he was looking after him ever since he was fifteen. Now, they must look after a boy whom they don't even know. "Brother?" Theseus asked Newt who looked up from his journal.
"Yes, Thee?" Newt asked pulling his quill down, but he did not meet his brother's eyes as usual. Theseus nodded and stood up.
"We need to call that healer," Theseus said walking over to the fireplace. Newt nodded and stood up as well, but he did not say anything as he looked at the door to the bedroom that Erik was asleep. "Newt, are you feeling ok?" Theseus asked turning around to see Newt not moving. There were tears in his green eyes, but Newt nodded not saying anything. "Newton?" Theseus asked when Newt walked over to his room not answering Theseus who sighed and walked over to the fireplace.
Erik woke with a start, but he did not scream or yell out. He was scared to do so. So here he sat in the dark of the room lost in his thoughts. 'Maybe those brothers can help me?' Erik thought looking at the door in the dark. "No, they won't understand," he said out loud shaking his head and closed his eyes. However, they snapped open when he heard the doorknob turn. Erik quickly but on his mask and pulled the covers over his head to hide the tears that formed in his eyes. 'That nightmare.' He thought when the door opened, and the light turned on.
"Erik? Are you awake?" Theseus asked walking over to the bed. Erik pulled down the covers and nodded but he turned away when Theseus saw the tears in his eyes. "Are you alright?" Theseus asking looking at someone that Erik did not see. Erik sighed and nodded.
"Yes, monsieur. Just a little nightmare," Erik said making sure that his mask is on with his hand. Theseus nodded with that man walking in. He was tall with black hair and grey eyes.
"Hello garçont," the man said walking over to Erik who smiled at him and looked at Theseus.
"I'll leave you two alone," Theseus said before he left the room. Erik sighed and looked at the man.
"Aright, let's look you over garçon," the man said to Erik who now realized that he was this healer that he heard Theseus talking about. "Don't worry everything will be just fine," he said sitting down next to Erik. Erik smiled and looked up at him.
"Are you sure monsieur? I don't feel all that great right now. My name is Erik by the way monsieur," Erik told the healer who smiled and pulled out something that Erik did not understand. It was wood but how is that going to make him better. The healer saw the look on Erik's face and laughed.
"Don't worry. This will help. I heard from the younger Scamander that you showed signs of magic," Erik raised his misshaped eyebrow. "You don't believe in magic?" the healer asked Erik who did not say anything. He then sighed and waved the stick over Erik who smiled when he felt a rush of something over him. "Oh, my. You need a lot of water and food garçon," the healer said to Erik who did not say anything still. "What happened to you?" he asked looking at the boy who adjusted his mask and closed his eyes.
"Monsieur, I…. My…..My mother and father that is what happened," Erik said soddenly angry. However, the healer nodded in understanding at this. His parents must have hurt him because of the mask that he wears. Although he did not ask Erik this as he sighed. "Mother died and then father, father could not stand me because of this…..this…" Erik started to cry. The healer sighed and pulled the boy into his arms. Making the boy flinch at the touch. 'A hug? Someone was hugging him.' Erik thought not hugging his man back.
"It's ok garçon. I'll go get Theseus and tell him that you need some food," the healer said pulling out of the hug and walked over to the door. Erik watched him stunned by the hug that he just got. It didn't hurt and he liked it. Erik smiled a little at this as his eyes closed and he sighed.
