Ch. Twenty-Two: Telling him


As Seto walked, he felt dizzy. Real dizzy, he kept stumbling but saying he is fine. Coraline and Ty had to catch him more than once so he would not fall over. They have been walking for a few hours, they rested every now and then, but Seto felt his fainting spells returning after Amber said she had fixed them. He winced, the blight eating away at his skin, the blight has grown up onto his face and hands. He stumbled against a tree, the world spinning, he falls to his knees. Coraline turns around, looking at him.

"Seto!" She cried as she ran over to him. Ty stops. She falls to her knees, Nova running over to him as well. She picks up his head with her hand and moves his hair from his face. "O my god, t-the blight is on his face....and hands!" Ty runs over as Seto wheeze and falls limp into her arms. "Seto!" Nova sniffs him and licks his hand, trying to get the blight away, but it doesn't work. She looks at Ty. Ty looks around.

"We're close. Give me to me." Ty said grabbing Seto's arm. Nova growls as he puts Seto on his back. She stops growling. "Can you keep up with me? It is gonna be hard running in the woods with obstacles everywhere." Coraline nods as she stands up.

"I-I will be okay. Come on, lead the way." Coraline said. Ty takes off and Coraline and Nova follow him. Seto woke up, his eyes open staring at the ground seeing Ty's feet running and his arms and head hanging over Ty's shoulders. He lifts his head up slightly, he coughs. Ty grips his knees.

"Hang in there, Seto. You'll be fine soon." Ty said. Ty turns his head a little, looking at Seto. "We'll contact the Fyre Wizards, they fix you up." Seto looks at Ty.

'How does he know Wag and them? How?' Seto thought. Nova looks over at Seto and Ty.

'Who knows?' Nova thought of him. Seto flinched, he is in too much pain to figure out who that was. He rests his head on Ty's shoulder, closing his eyes.

He falls asleep, so when he wakes up, he was laying down. He felt something warm snuggled up against his side. His eyes open, a darken towel resting on his forehead and the only light being a candle on the bedside table. He turns his head, seeing Nova's head on his shoulder. He coughs and Nova picks her head up. Her tail wags and she licks his neck and cheek, scooching closer to him. She barks quietly at him. She sets her head down, Seto smiles at her.

'You feeling better? And yes....I'm talking to you. That's what you get for making me your familiar.' Nova thought. Seto stared at her for a few moments.

'My head hurts. My hands feel like they are on fire like my throat.' Seto thought. Nova licks Seto's neck a few times, he closes his eyes. He can feel the pain dulling, but it doesn't go away.

'How's that? Any better?' She thought.

"L-Little," Seto mumbled. He turns towards Nova, putting his arms around and burying his face in her fur. Nova rests her head on the pillow, staring at the door like she is on guard. She closes her eyes when Seto falls asleep. But she opens them back up when she hears the door open. She picks her head up, seeing Wag and them. Sherri comes up beside him.

"Seto." She said. She looks at Nova and Seto. She chuckles. "That's cute." Wag moves the blanket, he glances at Nova, expecting a growl. But Nova just watches. He looks back at Seto, Seto wakes up. He jumps slightly, Wag keeps him still.

"It's just us. It's just us. Can you lay on your back for us? We need to see." Wag said. Seto lays on his back, Sherri's eyes widen. Phil and Tom come beside Wag. Phil moves Seto's hair.

"That's bad. That's really bad." Phil said.

"Where's Matt?" Ty asks coming in. Tom looks at Ty.

"Oh...P-Phil--" Phil walks pass Tom and pushes Ty out into the hall. Phil closes the door.

"The five of us; James, Sherri, Tom, Matt, and I went looking for Jazmine. And...we found her." Phil said. Ty smiles.

"That's good. Seto misses--wait...why aren't you telling him?" Ty asks. Phil looks at him as Ty loses his smile.

"Jazmine doesn't want to see Seto again," Phil said. Ty's eyes widen.

"Wh-What? But....why not? What's her reason? And she better had a damn good reason." Ty snapped.

"She wouldn't tell us, and when I told her that Seto was in trouble and we are gonna go help him. She wouldn't come with." Phil said. Ty looks at the door, remembering the deal they made to each other.

"Is that why you aren't telling him?" Ty asks. Phil nods.

"He's been through enough, Ty. Knowing that Jazmine doesn't want him any more would destroy him." Phil said. Ty nods. He looks at the door

"Is there anything we can do to repair their relationship? I mean...you are Seto's friend. You know what Jazmine meant to him." Ty said. Phil nods.

"Yeah. I do. She made him happy when he would never smile and had little confidence in himself. She basically made Seto a legendary wizard, he got named one of the most powerful wizards ever...but that was four years ago before he disappeared. Now he..he barely talks, barely moves and wants her back. He wants to find her no matter what. But now she doesn't want him....and none of us can bring themselves to tell him the girl he loves doesn't love him anymore." Phil said. Ty looks at the floor.

"We can't keep it from him. You know how bad that would look if he found out we all knew that and refused to tell him?" Ty asks. Phil looks at him, he shakes his head, stepping back.

"N-No. I'm not telling him, it will destroy him." Phil said. Ty sighs.

"Okay, seeing how Seto just met me...I'll tell him. I don't care if he'll hate me. I rather tell him than keep it from him." Ty said before he opens the door. Seto is sleeping, Wag is mumbling some spell. "G-Guys...I'm gonna tell Seto about Jazmine." Sherri looks at him.

"A-Are you mad? He...He'll be so upset, Ty. He's suffering already, don—"

"Sherri...He has you here. Weren't you his apprentice and friend." Ty asks. Sherri nods.

"Yeah but—"

"Let him do it." Wag said. She looks at Wag. Wag stands up. "He's gonna find out when he wonders why Jazmine won't talk to him. So this is better." Wag pushes Tom out and Sherri stands, staring at Ty.

"A-Are you sure about this?" She asks. Ty nods and Sherri walks pass him and closes the door. Ty sits down on the bed by Seto's arm. He hesitates, but he gently shakes him awake. Seto opens his eyes, groaning. He looks at Ty.

"H-Hey, Ty," Seto mumbled.
