*Sherri's P.O.V*

This is ridiculous. This ain't the witch trials where it doesn't matter what you say or do, they are going to tied you to a stake and burn you alive or hang up and leave your body there to send a message to all other wizards. My hand turns into a fist. I'm sure Seto doesn't care, he doesn't really seem to care about a lot of things anymore. He was tied to a stake with magic cancelling rope and there actually is a crowd here for once, word of Seto's return has spread like wildfire.

I trust Seto, I trust him more than anyone I know and...Seto would never cry if it wasn't damaging. And he is damaged, his usual warm smile and lighthearted attitude is a thing of the past. Now he is almost emotionless. I see him wince and he glances at his left shoulder making me concerned. I was about get up to talk to him when Tino and Jeph walked pass me making me angry. I look over at Tino.

"Master Tino." I said. He stops and looks at me.

"Sherri....Just because Seto happened to be your Master at one point doesn't mean you know him. That traitor is capable of lots of things." He said. I take a step towards him. This isn't the first I find the Council feeling threaten by Seto. Seto is a very powerful LIGHT Mage, and the Council has always seen Seto as a threat to their power. Even though at one point, Seto was a Council Member until Jazmine came along and I honestly do believe she changed Seto for the better, I've never seen him happier when he was with her.

Or was...Now I lost contact with Jazmine two months ago. Jazmine has been trying to find Seto this entire time, and here he is, and he needs her by his side more than ever. He is a mess, I can tell his is much skinner and lost so much confidence in himself and magical power does need confidence in order for a spell to be damaging towards a target. I think she can bring him back, we need him. We are losing the war and if Seto was put back on the front lines, I think we would win.

Seto can handle himself...At least I think he can. He isn't the same person I knew, but out of everything he is still a cute clumsy mess. I swear that half of my time spent studying under him, I was cleaning up cuts and seeing bruises on him because he would trip a lot.

"You and I both know that this isn't a fair trial for him. You guys are considering his side." I said. He rolls his eyes.

"Your feelings for Seto are cloudy your judgment again."

"Why do you always say that? Seto is like...my brother." I said hesitantly. I mean..sure Seto is cute and all. But Jazmine has already taken his heart and I just want to support him and help him. I'm better suited with being friends with him than dating him. Besides he really needs his friends right now, he's falling apart in front of us and I seem to be the only one that want to put him back together.

"This is why I never liked you becoming a member. You think like Seto. Sherri, there isn't anything you can do. We outvote you, Seto's execution has already been scheduled. So b*tch all you want today, it won't make a difference." Tino said before he walks away from me while I stand frozen in shock. Execution. Execution. No. I look at Seto. I can't let him die..I can't let the Council execution Seto like this. No! I'm not letting them! I take a step back and hurry out the back.

I put my hands up to my mouth as they glow and I chant a quick spell, my next thoughts are pushed into Seto's head.

'I'm sorry, Seto. But bare with me, stay strong okay? I need to go do something, they have already planned your execution. Lincoln and I are getting you out of the city before that happens. Just try to stall till I return.' I thought to him and I can't expect a respond with those magic resistant rope tied around him. I bite my bottom lip as I run towards home.
