It had only been two days since Belos had found Hunter out in the freezing cold. Hunter had been unconscious with a raging fever for the past two days, Belos hasn't left his side since. The Healers gave Belos two potions for Hunter, one for the fever and one for his stomach just in case. Karma came to bite Kikimora; Belos gave her a few punches to the gut before demoting her by putting her to work for Steve. He barely slept and barely ate; all he did was sit and watch Hunter, hoping that he'll awaken.

Even though Kikimora wasn't a problem anymore, Belos couldn't help but worry that she might try something again. Every time scouts walked by Hunter's room, they could hear Belos inside talking to his nephew. Most of the Coven Heads took over the preparations for the Day Of Unity since Belos was a little busy with the Golden Guard. Darius didn't show any sympathy in front of everyone but deep down, he was worried about Hunter. Raine would sometimes stop by and watch over Hunter for Belos if he had a meeting he couldn't get out of. A few hours later, Raine came barging into the throne room where Belos was.

They told Belos that Hunter was awake and he was asking for him. Belos immediately dropped everything and ran to Hunter's room. He opened the door and took off his mask, he saw Hunter with his eyes open, laying in bed all bundled up in thick blankets and shivering. Hunter looked paler than usual and Flapjack was there too, curled up in Hunter's lap. Belos rushed to his bedside and hugged Hunter so tight that he didn't want to let go.

"Owlet, do you remember anything?" Belos asked.

Hunter didn't really want to tell his uncle that he disobeyed his order to stay in the castle, so he lied and said that he didn't remember anything. Belos told Hunter that he had been asleep for two days with pneumonia. He'll have to be on bedrest for a while which also meant that Belos had banned him from missions until he was better. Hunter groaned knowing that also meant that Belos was going to keep a closer eye on him. "How long was out for?" Hunter asked, his voice all scratchy.

"Two days. I was so scared when I found you out there." Belos stated.

"Kikimora. She..."

"Is no longer a problem for now. Right now, you need to rest and get better. I'll be taking care of you." Belos claimed as he helped Hunter sit up.

Belos then grabbed one of the potions, poured a little bit on a spoon and held it in front of Hunter. Hunter covered his mouth with his hands and shook his head no to take the medicine. "Owlet. Come on, open up. It'll help." Belos said.

Hunter whimpered and shook his head again. Belos promised Hunter that the potion would help but he still refused to move his hands away. "Come on, Hunter. Please. For me?" Belos asked.

Hunter reluctantly moved his hands and took the medicine, his face made a gag look but he swallowed it. "I hate this." Hunter complained.

Belos made a playful smug look on his face, remembering how young Hunter used to act the same way when he was sick. He helped Hunter lay back down on the bed then told him to get more rest and he would stay to protect him.
