                  “Good. Now go clean yourself up and I will see you both in my office. Logan, please take Emma up to a room, she looks tired,” Bennett commanded as he set his eyes on Ethan.
     
    Bennett gave him a look that seemed to say watch yourself and left the living room.
     
    Ethan rushed to the coffee table, packed his grandfather’s grimoire and fit his arms through the straps of the backpack.
     
    He turned to find Adam leaning on the wall for support, blood on both of his hands. Why had Bennett left him like that? Ethan hurried over to him and saw how severe his injuries were.
     
    There were little gashes on his arms but they were easy to fix. But a wound like on his chest was more difficult, and Ethan figured with both of their powers together they could fix it.
     
    Ethan steadied him, and helped him down the hallway and into the downstairs bathroom.
     
                  Adam sat down on the large sink and looked as pale as snow in the bathroom light. Sweat garnished his face and he looked as if he were in loads of pain but was trying not to show it. Ethan knew a healing spell, but he would need Adam’s help too.
     
    Adam suddenly looked as if he were about to pass out and Ethan grew concerned.
     
    He tapped Adam on his face a few times, trying to keep him conscious. When that didn’t work, he turned the water on, filled a deep soap dish with cold water and threw it on Adam’s face.
     
    Adam’s eyes flew open and he breathed in heavily as if he had been swimming under water.
     
                  “That-was-cold,” Adam said through gritted teeth.
     
                  “I need your help to heal the wound, it looks really bad.” Ethan touched the sliver in his shirt. Adam hissed at the touch.
     
                  “Well thanks for soaking me,” Adam laughed.
     
                  “Shut up and take off your shirt, I need to see the wound,” Ethan commanded.
     
                  “Hey, don’t I have to take you out to dinner before I take my clothes off for you?” Adam smirked. Ethan chuckled, leaning back against the blue tiled wall for support. Adam had a confused look on his face.
     
                  “You are hilarious,” Ethan said.
     
                  “What, so you wouldn’t go out with a guy like me?” Adam asked. An eyebrow rose in curiosity.
     
    Ethan began softly breathing hard. Why was he asking him this? Now was not the time for it. But Ethan fixed his composure and stared directly into Adam’s eyes.
     
                  “Yes, I would go out with a guy like you. But I’d like to you to be alive, so let me see that wound, please.” Adam blinked twice as if he hadn’t expected that answer and slowly peeled off his soaking wet shirt, revealing a chiseled torso.
     
    Ethan suddenly felt lightheaded, not caring if Adam saw his cheeks flush. He took Adam’s shirt from him and threw it in the bathtub.
     
                  “Then, I propose a deal.”Adam said.
     
                  “A deal?” Ethan smirked.
     
                  “Yes. I’m only supposed to take you to Elsmere and leave you with someone else to find Oleandra. But if I help you with everything , will you go out with me after this is all over with?” Ethan just stared at Adam.
     
    He thought about it and he needed Adam’s help, he needed it badly. And to be honest, he did want to go out with Adam anyway. There was something about him that intrigued Ethan and made him feel way different than he had with other guys.
     
                  “Fine, I’ll go out with you.” The words escaped Ethan’s mouth.
     
                  “Awesome,” Adam said as he leaned back into the mirror and helped Ethan mend the gash on the middle of his chest.
     
     
                  Bennett was rolling up the scroll
