Chapter 25

Third Person P.O.V
Seto puts his hands in his pockets as he walks up to Alesa's house. Alesa opens the door and looks at Seto as he stops.

"No. No. Get out!" Alesa said.

"How can I get out if I'm not even in yet, Alesa?" Seto asks. Alesa walks down the porch steps and to Seto.

"What happen to your head? I see the bandage against your neck as well." Alesa said. Seto looks at the ground. Alesa grabs Seto's arms. "What happened? Who hurt you?" Seto smiles slightly.

"It was Mitch with just my head but I'm fine. A Jabbit bit my shoulder and clawed up my arm." Seto said. Alesa pulls on his arm a little bit.

"Does it hurt still?" She asks. He nods. "Come inside. I'll fix that up." Alesa and him go inside. "Take off your shirt and let me look at your shoulder and arm." Seto takes off his jacket and Alesa leaves. Seto pulls off his shirt and Alesa comes in. She looks up and stops in her tracks. Her eyes travel on his chest. Seto meets her eyes.

"What?" Seto asks. Alesa shakes her head slightly and looks down.

"Nothing." Alesa said walking to him. She puts her hand on his chest and pushes down making him sit in a chair. Her eyes take another glance at Seto's body and bites her lip back a little.

"My face is up here, not on my stomach." Seto said. She looks at her face.

"Sorry. I haven't seen one of you like this, shirtless, since Sky and me were at the dock and Sky pushed me into the water. Then I pulled him in. That was back when Midnight was problem, I'm sure." Alesa said opening up a box smiling slightly. She works on getting the bandage off around his shoulder that binds around his chest and neck.

"He does still care about you Alesa. No matter how much he denies it. He does care about you." Seto said. Alesa blushes slightly as she starts unwrapping the bandage.

"Is he...Is he still with Kitty?" Alesa asks.

"Kitty died. She betrayed us, she was really trying to kill Sky by getting close to him and then murder him." Seto said. Alesa puts her hand on his shoulder and looks at him.

"I'm glad her plan didn't work then. So he is single?" Alesa asks.

"Why are you asking Alesa?" Seto asks. Alesa takes off the bandage blushing a little.

"I hate him Seto. I do. I don't love him...anymore. I don't miss his stubborn and irritating attitude or his...his gentle brown eyes or his strong muscles or his comforting arms and soft chest that can just make you feel so safe no matter what is happening or his gentle and cute sounding breathing whenever he is sleeping or-"

"O my lord I get it already. You love him. Stop it. Your gonna bored me to death." Seto said.  Alesa looks at Seto blushing.

"I do, don't I? But I don't want to. But he is single right?" Alesa asks. She puts a cream on Seto's wound and starts to bind it.

"Amber and him seem to be together." Seto said. Alesa looks away from him.

"R-Really?" She asks with her voice cracking. She binds his shoulder and starts working on his arm. "I didn't like him that much anyway."

"Then why do you sound so upset when I said he has a girlfriend?" He asks. Alesa wipes her eyes.

"Because I never get the chance that he gets to hold me and tell me things will be okay. I have just been friendzoned by him and I can't get out." Alesa said. She puts the cream on Seto's arm and binds his arm. Seto puts on his long sleeved black t-shirt and looks at Alesa as she wipes her face more. "Let me look at your head." Seto grabs her wrists.

"Sure but, your gonna start crying." Seto said. Alesa shakes her eyes as tears start forming in her eyes. Seto pulls on her wrist and Alesa crawls into his lap. She buries her face into his neck putting her arms around his center.

"If Austin didn't make the Sky Army then he wouldn't have left me all alone." Alesa said crying. Seto rubs her arm with his hand gently making Alesa smile. "You always remind me of Austin's gentle and kind side Seto. You understand for some reason." Seto's eyes look to the side.

"When you lived long enough to outlive your family and friends, you tend to understand how losing someone you love hurts." Seto said. Alesa pushes herself a little bit moving her hand on the side of his neck.

"How old are you?" Alesa asks.

"I-I....ummm." Seto said.

"Seto." She said.

"Last time I checked, 499 years old." Seto said. Alesa looks at Seto for a second.

"Light Sorcerers only live up to 500 accordance to laws set for magic users. Your gonna die soon." Alesa said. Seto nods slightly.

"Yes, yes I am. But it'll be fine. You guys were the best years of my life. Before you guys, I was always alone. I lost a girl that we were together till she died and said she can't wait to see me on the other side. But I never told her I was a sorcerer and.." Seto trails off looking away from Alesa. Alesa hugs him.

"You can't die! I don't allow you to die!" Alesa said. Seto smiles slightly.

"I have a month till my birthday Alesa. There isn't anything anybody can do to stop it." Seto said. Alesa looks at him, shaking her head.

"Does Midnight know this?" Alesa asks. Seto hesitates to speak.

"N-No." Seto said.

"Seto you have to tell her! She's your girlfriend, she has to know your gonna die soon." Alesa said. Seto grabs her arms.

"Alesa, I tell any of them about this. They are gonna try to save me. I'm ready to die. I've been here for 500 years. We want you to help us. But if you do, you can't tell any of them about my real age. Your the only one I ever told about my real age. Promise me." Seto said.

"Seto-"

"Alesa please. I don't want Midnight to know. She is already worried about me, this will just destroy her. Promise me." Seto said. Alesa looks at him for a few seconds.

"O-Okay. I promise. But....what day is your birthday? Is it this month?" Alesa asks.

"The 21st, next month." Seto said. Alesa gets off of him.

"That's so close. A least a month." Alesa said.

"I know it is. But my age isn't important." Seto said. Alesa shakes her head.

"The fact your gonna die of old age when you look like your in your early twenties when your really almost 500 years old is just a little important." Alesa said. Seto shakes his head.

"Are you gonna help us or not Alesa?" Seto asks. Alesa nods.

"Of course I am. For you, you'll always been so nice to me Seto. I still have a long way to go for a Light Sorcerer. About a few hundred years. But I want to be by you the day before it happens. So please hang out till then." Alesa said.

"I'll try. But don't tell Midnight. I'll tell her the day before. Just so she doesn't try to waste her life trying to find a way to stop it. But wouldn't breaking up with her be easier for her?" Seto asks.

"No Seto that will make it worst. Your pushing her away that way and she'll feel like she didn't try to be there for you. Tell her soon. You don't need to tell the others, but she deserves to know." Alesa said.

"Okay. But after I do die, can you please make sure she doesn't waste her life? But becomes a powerful Light Sorcerer like she always wanted to be." Seto said. Alesa smiled and nods.

"Yeah. Of course." Alesa said. She looks at the bandage on his head. "Let's see the damage on your head."

So I have noticed something with you guys. When Ian and Seto was killed before, you guys would be complaining to me about it nonstop. Jerome died, not one peep. ...I think I see who are the favorites here...
