Chapter 12

Third Person P.O.V
Seto takes a deep breath trying to collect himself. CJ fell asleep next to Seto. Pain is coming everywhere and he wants it to stop.

"C..CJ." Seto groaned. CJ moves slightly. He coughs a few times and CJ puts her head up.

"Seto..Seto what's wrong?" CJ asks. Seto takes a few deep breaths and CJ sits up. Seto can feel his blood under him on his clothes and sees it on CJ a little. CJ looks at Seto.

"Take your time." CJ said. Seto groans as an explosion of pain hits his shoulder.

"W..What..h...happened?" Seto groaned. CJ looks at Seto for a second.

"Um. Well you see. You went away from the Sky Army Base and I sort of saw you. So I thought maybe you could deal with a Jabbit but I didn't know that there were like seven Jabbits. One was about to attack me from behind, you saw it. Pushed me out of the way and they bite your shoulder. Clawed your side and arm. That attack destroyed you basically. You were too hurt to even fight after that Jabbit attacked you. I tried to help you but the Jabbit just bit your shoulder and it maybe broke your collar bone. Then...um..." CJ said. Seto closes his eyes and winces in pain. He can barely breath without pain making him stop breathing. CJ wraps something tight around his waist to make sure his side doesn't bleed anymore.

"I'm afraid to wrap your shoulder." CJ said looking at it. Seto gets hit with a wave of dizziness making him feel nausea. He shivers.

'This place is just making his condition worst.' CJ thinks to himself. She clenches her fists. She stand up and goes to the bars. She grips them and looks down both ways of the hallway. No guards. No nothing.

"C-CJ." Seto moaned. CJ looks at Seto. She goes down next to him. She puts her arms around him and holds him tight trying to warm him up. She can feel him trembling in her arms.

"I'm right here. I'm right here if you need me." CJ said.

"Sky...Sky." The Doctor said to Sky. Sky winces in pain. His eyes are closed and he doesn't even show any response to the doctor.

"Sky." Amber said.

"He's in a whole lot of pain. He can hear us but he won't pay attention or response." The Doctor said. Alex looks at the Doctor.

"Thank you Captain Obvious." Alex said sarcastically.

"I can give him some pain medicine. Maybe that will dull some of it down." The Doctor said ignoring Alex. Jess comes running in.

"Why is Sky here?" Jess asks running pass Ian.

"We thought CJ was here." Amber said.

"We need to get him back to the base now." Jess said.

"Why?" Alex asks.

"I figured out what Raven was planning. They want Sky like this. His curse isn't active because the amulet doesn't work. It's because of the demon presence. Mitch was targeting Jason and Ty. He is targeting Sky right now." Jess said.

"Okay is Mitc-" Ian started.

"Mitch hasn't spoke one word since Jerome died." Jess said.

"What?" Ian asks in disbelief.

"A demon killed him. They were targeting Mitch but Jerome took the hits. We found demon arrows in his back and Mitch just seems so lost in his own world." Jess said. Everyone is silent for a few moments.

"First Ty and now Jerome." Ian said. Jess looks at the ground.

"That's...That's not all. Mitch's chains were broken and Seto left." Jess said. Ian narrows his eyes at Jess.

"Now I know your pulling my leg. Seto is a very powerful Sorcerer Jess. He doesn't go down easy. Even if he does he will always come right back up." Ian said walking toward Jess. Jess backs up. Alex looks at Ian.

"Ian." Alex said.

"His horse came back but not him." Jess said. Alex takes a step towards Ian.

"So? That has happen plenty of times before. He's fine. Seto wouldn't let Raven beat him." Ian said.

"You...You guys don't get it. You boys have become so reckless." Jess said. Ian stops and looks at Jess.

"No we haven't." Ian said.

"Yes you have. Since Ty died you guys seem to have fallen apart. You didn't even put Sky's safety into consideration when you brought him here risking for a open attack from the demons. If they attacked you Ian, they would have killed Sky. You know this. Sending Seto out on his own because Mitch said the demons were after him was one of the stupidest things ever. Jerome would have still been alive if you haven't. Seto is safe at the base. You are playing right into Raven's hand Ian! Why can't you see that?" Jess asks. Ian clenches his fist and Alex can see his blood boiling. She takes a few steps towards Ian.

"C-Calm down." Alex said.

"Because we are not Jess! You girls don't get why we are doing what we are doing because you are still considered new." Ian said. Jess takes a step towards Ian.

"New? I have been helping you guys for almost a year now." Jess said.

"Almost isn't full Jess. We have been doing this since we were kids." Ian said quietly looking at the ground.

"Yeah but you guys chose to have no childhood." Jess said. Ian looks at Jess.

"You think we picked to have this life, no we were forced into it!" Ian yelled. Sky flinches at his loud voice.

"I-Ian. D-Don't." Sky said wearily. Ian's eyes and rage soften looking at Sky, seeing Sky look so broken. He looks at Jess.

"What do you mean by forced?" Jess asks.

"Nevermind that. That's....That's in the past." Ian said. Alex puts her hands on Ian's arm.

"No, what? We all want to know." Alex said. He looks at Alex and takes her hands off of him.

"We will take Sky back then if you want Jess." Ian said.

"But wh-"

"It d-doesn't matter!" Sky said.

Quentin taps his fingers on the table seeing Jerome's blood on his hands and clothes. Quentin signs. Alikai comes in looking worried.

"Has Mitch spoken yet?" Quentin asks. Alikai shakes her head.

"He fell asleep in my room since he didn't want to be in his. I cleaned off the blood on his face but it is still on his clothes." Alikai said.

"I expect this from him Alikai. Jerome and him were best friends. I got Jerome out of his room too but I wouldn't want to go in there either if I was him." Quentin said. Alikai grabs Quentin's wrists looking at his bloodied hands.

"Um...you should clean off the blood." Alikai said. Quentin said nothing. Alikai leaves for a second as she comes back with a wet rag.

"It's not gonna be easier for you if his blood is on your hands and clothes." Alikai said. She wipes the blood off his hands, wrists, and face. She looks outside and sees the sun setting. "Maybe you should go to bed."

"I know." Quentin said. He stands up making Alikai take two steps back.

"Where would I sleep since Mitch is in my bed?" Alikai asks.

"You could sleep in the same bed with him Alikai." Quentin said walking pass her and leaving. Alikai blushes just thinking about that. She turns around and goes into her room. She stops when she Mitch laying on her bed on his side. She can see a outline of him and moves closer to him seeing him look so adorable asleep. His hood up and over his eyes a little, the blanket in his fist that is under his nose, and his knees bend and an arm under the pillow. She bites her bottom lip back and looks at the ceiling. He looks so peaceful, he would have if there wasn't tear stains on his cheeks from crying.

"God. Damnit. Mitch. Why must you look so adorable asleep?" She asked quietly. She turns halfway. She takes off her shoes and jacket.

"I don't know. Why you let me sleep in here?" Mitch asks suddenly making Alikai jump. She looks at his face seeing nothing but sadness in his chocolate brown eyes. She blushes, making Mitch smile a little.

"If you want to go to sleep Alikai, I can leave." Mitch said getting up halfway.

"No. No your fine Mitch. I can just sleep on the other side." Alikai said. She wipes the tear stains from his cheeks. He puts his hands on the bed behind him supporting himself up. Alikai stops. "I'm sorry about Jerome, Mitch. I really am. But I didn't think it would have affected you this much." Mitch says nothing. She puts her hand down onto the bed.

"Alright. Stay on your side. No cuddling cause I ain't about that life unless they are my boyfriend." Alikai said trying to cheer him up. Mitch cracks a weak grin making Alikai smile. It is at least something.

"Don't worry about that." Mitch said making Alikai a little disappointed. Alikai crawls over Mitch's legs and lays down on her back on the bed grabbing the blanket. Mitch lays down putting his back to Alikai. She looks at ceiling wondering when she will fall asleep. No matter how many times she looks away her eyes keep moving to Mitch. She moves her back to him and closes her eyes. She tries to sleep while Mitch can't fall to sleep.

He grips the pillow in his hand. Jerome's last words keep play through his head over and over again. Mitch doesn't feel like he is a good person. He lays on his back and looks at the ceiling.

'How can Jerome affect me so much and Ty not so much?' He thinks to himself. Alikai looks at Mitch.

"You okay?" She asks. She lays on her back. "Mitch, come here." Mitch doesn't move for second and looks at Alikai.

"But.." Mitch started. Alikai grabs Mitch's shirt and pulls on it. Mitch moves next to Alikai. Alikai blushes lightly. He puts his arms around her waist and his head on her shoulder. Alikai smiles. Mitch brings her waist against him making Alikai blush and Mitch a little bit.

'I thought I said no cuddling but it would be mean to stop him while he is already so close.' Alikai thinks to herself. She smiles. Her hand messes with his soft hair while she looks at the ceiling.

"W-What are you doing?" Mitch asks softly. She stops messing with his hair.

"Sorry.  Your hair is so soft though.You comfy?" Alikai asks.

"Yeah. I can move if you want." Mitch said.

"No." Alikai said instantly. Mitch smiles a little and closes his eyes. She can feel his hot breath against her neck making her blush harder. She just hopes he can't see her face red as a tomato and hear her fast heartbeat. Alikai has always liked Mitch as a friend but lately she can barely contain herself when he is around. She feels his muscles relax as he falls asleep making her smile. Alikai doesn't want to fall for him knowing that he will just reject her. She closes her eyes.

'Why do you have to be so freaking cute, Mitch?' Alikai thinks to herself before she drifts off into darkness.

Ty's hand moves again as he takes a deep breath surprising Carson. Ghost who went back to the base to help made Carson promise to get Ty breathing again. Ty takes a few breaths to collect himself.

"Can you speak?" Carson asks sounding a little scared.

"W-Where am I?" Ty asks. He opens his eyes.

"Your at my place, Ty." Carson said. Ty's eyes look at Carson.

"Who's Ty?" He asks sitting up. Carson takes a step back away from Ty shocked. Ty stands up and grabs his sword pulling it out. "Who are you? And where am I?"

"Something went wrong with the spell for sure. I'm Carson a friend of Ghost." Carson started.

"Who's Ghost?" Ty asks.

"Okay. Okay. Your Ty. Ghost is your girlfriend. You were dead and-"

"I was dead?!" Ty yelled. Carson flinches hard.

"Well maybe I shouldn't have said that." Carson said. Ty looks towards the door and Carson sees. "No don't leave. Your not completely fixed yet. I need to bring your memory back Ty." Ty goes towards the door only to stop by Carson grabbing his arm. Ty puts the sword on his neck.

"Let. Go." Ty threaten. Carson let's go.
