The Muse

by risikamoon

Everyone deserves to be loved. What if someone else was in the background and could help out. Meant as a side-along-read, as in, watch the episodes and read my story at the same time. Basically everything still happens, just from a different perspective than from the TRIO. Hope you like. It's completed, just need to put online. This is a DukexOC story.

5. Stay & The Farmer

I was still recovering from the bullet wound in my shoulder when the rabid dogs turned barbarians ran through the town, but I was able to help by using my trouble to keep regular and rabid people alike calm until the police could show up to capture the strays. On the next case I was specifically asked along, but I still believe that Duke only did it so that he could keep an eye on me. When we caught up the man with the "demon tongue" as the new detective, Tommy Bowen, had sarcastically called him, Audrey tried to order me away like she did with Nathan and Tommy but I wouldn't listen. When Audrey and Duke got into an argument because she had asked him to use his trouble to end the "demon tongue" trouble, they had walked a few feet away from the body. I kept eye contact to make sure he didn't somehow slip away again. After their argument, Duke walked off in one direction while Audrey walked in another. After about a minute though, Duke returned.

"Fae, leave."

"Not a chance."

"I don't want you to see this."

"Then I won't look, but I'm not leaving you here alone to deal with this."

"You're too good for this town."

"That's a matter of opinion." Then I turned so that I couldn't see what Duke was about to do and projected music throughout the forest to make it more private. I watched the family just outside the woods to make sure we weren't disturbed. He didn't know then, but he and I were the only ones who heard the music I projected. It was my gift to him.
