The next day Rhonith and Nyxiah were both back in town but this time they went straight to the place that the boy had ran from them the first time. Just like before they were careful not to be seen by any of the soldiers. When they got a closer look at the large stone wall building they noticed that there were more dangerous traps on the ground.

Rhonith was the more concerned one.

"Just what is this place?"

Nyxiah looked at him.

"From what the soldier said, it's some sort of camp but for what?"

They then heard yelling nearby that was on the other side of a large wall. They both went to it and looked to see what it was. To some relief to their search the saw the boy but this time the boy was with a group of other boys that were roughly the same age as him.

Just then the leading soldier fired his gun and the boys began running as if they were doing a drill. To Rhonith and Nyxiah it looked rather normal that was until they saw an explosion where the boys were running through.

Rhonith was in shock.

'They're running through a mine field!'

Rhonith and Nyxiah watched on as the boys ran. Some were blasted by the mines and others ran on without helping them to safety. One boy became too scared that he ran away to a different path, or at least tried to until he was shot from behind by one of the soldiers.

It raged Rhonith and Nyxiah to watch such a sight then they saw the boy that they were looking for running as if he was taking the lead. The boy wasn't just running it was like he seemed to notice where the bombs were and would jump over them.

When the nightmare was over the leading solider yelled at all the boys that were still alive in their land tongue.

"LE VOS ARMI!"

All the boys ran back to where they started and they all went inside.

Rhonith and Nyxiah both looked at each other and Rhonith spoke.

"What do you think?"

"Now we know this kid has a mouth on him. Let's get him when he steps out."

They waited on the other side of the main gate and soon they heard footsteps.

The boy walked passed them but he looked behind him to see them looking at him.

The boy had a metal case strapped to him and he just frowned when he saw them.

"You two again? Don't you know when to leave someone alone?"

Rhonith rose to his feet.

"You're coming with us."

The boy raised his brow.

"Not a chance. You didn't take me anywhere yesterday, why would you do so today?"

Nyxiah rose to his feet as well.

"Would you rather stay in this cursed place?"

The boy looked at him.

"I'm done with this place that's why I'm leaving."

The boy turned to walk away then Rhonith spoke.

"You're coming with us, whether you like it or not."

The boy stopped and turned to face him.

"I don't have to go anywhere with you."

With that the boy left but this time Nyxiah picked up a stone and covered it with a thick layer of snow to make it into a snowball. Rhonith watched him as he made it and threw it at the boy, knocking him out to the ground.

"Nice shot."

"Thanks."

They took the boy and his heavy case and left back to the private home without any of the soldiers seeing them.

When they got there Eileen was in the living room and her eyes widened when she saw the passed out boy in Rhonith's arms. They laid the boy down and Eileen placed a hand on the boys cheek and her eyes widened.

'Oh no!'

Rhonith and Nyxiah watched as Eileen took the boy's scarf and shirt off.

"Eileen, what is it?"

Eileen took her turtleneck shirt off but left her tank top on then she held the boy to her, tucking his head into her neck.

"This boy has mild hypothermia. He's freezing, get some hot water in here."

Nyxiah ran to the kitchen and Rhonith watched as his wife used her body heat to warm the boy up.

"Rhonith, how long was this boy outside? He's not wearing anything to keep him warm. Not even that scarf was helping him."

Rhonith wasn't sure what to tell Eileen but he still answered.

"We found him wondering alone."

Eileen looked at the boy and rubbed the back of his head.

"He'll be alright as long as he stays warm."

Just then Erza came downstairs and saw her mother holding a boy to her.

"Mother, what's going on?"

Eileen looked at her.

"Rhonith and Nyxiah found this boy wandering on his own then brought him here."

Eileen then looked at the boy.

"He should be safe."

Erza nodded then soon Nyxiah came back to the living room with boiling hot water.

He set the water down and Eileen had a spare cloth and gently dabbed it on the boy's neck and on his chest. The boy responded by making mumbling sounds but he never opened his eyes. As Eileen was treating his freezing state she spoke.

"I will watch him tonight."

Nyxiah raised a brow and Rhonith spoke.

"Not happening."

Erza sat next to her mother and helped with keeping the boy warm.

"I'll help you, Mother."

Eileen nodded then Erza held the boy's hand in her own and her eyes saddened when she noticed that the boy was mostly skin and bones.

"He's hungry."

Eileen nodded.

"When he wakes up, we'll feed him."

Eileen then looked at the boy's face then she rested her head on top of his.

'He's so adorable.'

For Rhonith he had a slight frown on his face.

'What would I give to be held like that?'

Rhonith and Nyxiah both left out of the living room and went upstairs.

Erza looked at her mother.

"He's staying, right?"

Eileen looked at the boy's sleeping face.

"If he wants to."

Erza nodded then she looked at the boy's sleeping face. Erza had grabbed a spare blanket and put it around the boy and Eileen held the boy closer to her to keep him warm the best way she could.

AN: Alright there is another chapter completed! What will happen when the boy wakes up? Thank you for reading and I will update soon!
