Seto's POV

"What shocking?" Oh fuck. Did I really just tell him what happens when I have a soul in me? I fucked up bad. I sit up, and he follows.

"Um... It's nothing. Just forget I said anything." I try to get up only to be forced back down my Ian's strong arms.

"It's not anything. R-Rob wouldn’t be..." He has some problem getting the words dead and Rob out of his mouth. "D-D-D-DEAD!"  Rob was one of his closest friends, and when he died... Ian was lost.

"I know Ian. I'm so sorry. I didn’t warn him. But if I tell you this, you can’t tell another being ok?" If he tells anybody, I will be executed for telling anybody.

"What’s the big deal? Why can’t the other guys know what happened?" He's starting to get angry. "Honestly, I need a valid reason."

"Because I'm risking my life telling you." Here goes nothing....

"What the hell does that mean?"

"It means that if you start telling other people...." I sigh. "They'll execute me, Ian. They will kill me for more than that reason. Do you even know why I left the council? They had charges that alone would have me killed. All of you guys too. So I left to save you, and I wasn’t allowed to tell anybody what happens when I collect a soul to finish a journal. Which is what I do. Those books I gave you all with your hands cut into them? Those keep you all from truly dying. I did it because you all are my life. And I wanted to tell Rob, but before I could, he grabbed me. The electrons in my system sent so many volts through his body that he died instantly. I'm so sorry Ian. You know I wanted to save him. And the only reason I haven’t told you guys this is because if they link you to me, not only will I die, but the will kill all of you as well. I'm sorry I lied.... I truly, truly am.“ I exhale. There. He knows.

"Oh my god... Seto... I didn’t know that was happening. They've been gone for 5 years though baby. It's gonna get better. Fuck, I feel like such a lousy boyfriend for never noticing that you were hurting...." He wraps me in his arms like I'm a baby.  "It'll be ok, baby. Don’t you worry." He kisses my forehead then sighs.

“You should tell them”

 "I just wish I could tell the other guys.... Mitch knows. He was the one who helped me find a place for Rob and Dan. They wouldn’t understand me though...." No way I'm telling him about the room. I know he's right. I really should... But I don’t know if I can trust them not to tell.

 "Tonight?"

"Yes Darling".

Now we gotta clean up Adam. We've been gone a long time. 

"How do you do that?" Ian just laughs.

S- You can do it too, just think of what to say and say it in your head.

I- Ok.... Oh my god. I'm doing it!!!!!

S- Yes you are my darling, now let’s go.

And we're off.

Mitch's POV

Seeing him so broken... seeing Adam dead and Ty just falling to pieces is hurting me so badly. I don’t understand what Adam was thinking.

"Hey Ty? Was there a note? Did he say anything? You need to be honest with me." I say. He couldn’t have just done this without a note or anything.

"Y-y-ya t-there w-was...." He quietly sobbed into my shirt.

"Where is it biggums?" I say soothingly. "Can’t I see it?"

"NO! I want everybody here when we read it. Adam would’ve wanted that...." He starts to cry even harder. Seto then walks in and asks if he can talk to me.

"Mitch, we've cleaned, stitched up” He gives me  the look.“And moved Adam. Can I put him with Dan and Rob in the room I have downstairs or would that be bad?" I was the only one Seto had told about the room.

~~Flashback~~

"Seto? You ok?" 

"I-I-I-I c-caused this...." We were looking at Dan and Rob. They weren’t coming back? No, this has to be some crude joke.... 

"It's ok Seto... But where are we gonna bury them?" I don’t wanna be having this conversation. It is only gonna end in misery. 

"We aren’t Mitch." 

"What does that mean Seto?" He tells me to follow him. We walk down into his room, where under the floor, is a small room. The walls have an eerie glow to them and there are two glass boxes. 

"What is this Seto? You're scaring me..." I start to move away. 

"Mitch don’t be scared. You trust your brother right? I've enchanted this room. They will stay exactly the way they are... well forever. They will only change if I die. I promise you." I walk over and give him a hug. Pulling away from the hug, I give him the tiniest peck on the lips. We laugh "No homo bro" "Deal Mitchy"

"Thank you Seto. You're so caring"

"It's the least I could do..." 

 ~~End of Flashback~~

"Mitch? Mitch come back buddy." 

"Whoa, what happened?" I'm confused, wasn’t I just with Seto downstairs?

"You had another vision or flashback as you say. Didn’t you?" He looks at me then rolls his eyes. 

"I was just thinking of when you made the room... I just got a little emotional. But if you have another box... we should put him down there. Are we ever gonna tell the guys about that room?" I say. I feel like the other guys deserve to know.

"I don’t know. It's the same thing about the reason Rob died. I don’t know who to trust man..." He lowers his eyes. I use my pointer finger to lightly lift his head. 

"It'll be ok man. I promise doll face." I grin and he smiles.

It always cheers him up when I call him doll face. But you might be wondering why he trusts me. Well, we've been best friends for as long as I can remember, even though he's an orphan. I was too. We would always spend every moment together we could. But then, a family wanted to adopt me. I refused to go unless I could bring Seto. They let me, but later tried to kill us both when Seto used some powers. They thought we were demons. After they tried to kill us, we ran away. We hid together until we met Jerome and the other guys. They just think we're best friends. They don’t know our history...

"Dork." He gives me the smallest, no-homo brother peck on the lips. Then the worst thing happened. Jerome walked in.
