Trigger warning- mentions of suicide. Not anything graphic, but could be a concern for some people. Please read at your own discretion.
Kellen flinched.
"Ah, well, I know that sounds bad but...He shouldn’t have remained here. Rhys was..." Kellen sighed. "No, it wasn’t just Rhys. Hill, and everyone was worried about him. I was worried about him." Kellen glanced at Casper. "Did you know why they were monitoring him?" He didn’t think it was a bad thing to tell Casper if he didn’t know.
If he did know, then Casper should understand a bit why Kellen had sent him away.
Casper shook his head, his eyes hardening into grey stones and Kellen winced. Ah hell.
"Probably because they wanted to keep an eye on him? Make sure he didn’t run away?" Casper replied and Kellen sighed.
"You’re half right." He muttered. The wind was sufficiently knocked out of his sails. "Casper...I, you need to keep this between us. If Rhys finds out that I told you..." He trailed off and Casper tensed.
"What? What is it?" He asked, tense. Kellen frowned.
"Rhys kept seeing one future. Or, something like it. No matter what he saw, what he tried to do. He kept searching and searching for a different future, but he couldn’t find it. Until he finally did." Kellen swallowed. Casper didn’t catch on, didn’t clue in, and Kellen swore quietly.
"What was he seeing? I don’t get it Kellen. You need to be more clear." Casper’s tone held a hint of anger to it and Kellen sighed.
"Rhys kept seeing Gunther killing himself. Over and over and over." All the colour drained from Casper’s face.
