Week One: Monday - Narrative
The days had changed for Axel. Recently going from one class a day to now teaching three, and add to that his increased guard duties plus the desire to keep Aidan more and more occupied so the little one was less and less in his mother's way.
Not that any of this was more difficult, more consuming, or near the challenge of his previous life, it was simply different. Axel just looked upon it as he looked on everything in his life, as a challenge. And some days, especially where Aidan was concerned, it didn't seem to be any less of a challenge than his past.
Attempting to keep Rozlyn distracted and occupied, while not overwhelming her, that was a real challenge in and of itself. But with her worries for the baby in her womb they couldn't heap on top of that the other worries, the concern of threats, against the school, against their family... threats of a certain demon whose persistence never seemed to die.
Two teachers and one student dead and any with knowledge knew this was barely even the beginning. It would get worse long before it got better. None were safe, though some were in more danger than others. What angered Axel the most was the fact that where Xael and Aidan were concerned, and now Roz as well, they had no choice but to be affected by it. Otherwise Axel would be tempted to live as though the other demon had no affect at all. Not advisable when you had such vulnerabilities however.
Fucking Sergius.
