"You're lying," Seto said. Ty doesn't look at him or speak. Seto looks away too. "She...She..." Seto's eyes water, Nova moves beside him, setting a paw on his lap. "G-Go away."
"Seto--"
"GET OUT! YOU'RE LYING! SHE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ME!" Seto screamed. Ty flinched. The door suddenly opened, Sherri ran over to him and hugged Seto. Seto looks at Sherri.
"He isn't lying, I was just too afraid to tell you," Sherri said. Seto looked at Ty and then at his lap. His hands grip the sheets. 'I knew it, it was a false hope. It was stupid of me to think Jazmine didn't move on, It is for the better. I'm going to outlive her anyway, it will..save..me the heartbreak when she....' Seto thought. Nova licked Seto's cheek, trying to cheer him up. Ty gets up and leaves, Sherri sits on the bed beside him.
"I'm fine," Seto said shocking her. She stared at him.
"No.....no you're not. How can you be? Jazmine meant--" Seto gripped the blankets, getting mad. Sherri sees the blight starting to grow and it isn't even hurting him.
"I said I'm fine! Get out!" Seto snapped. Sherri gets off the bed and takes a few steps back. Seto lays down, putting his back to her as his eyes water again. She hears him crying, she takes a step towards him, putting her hand out to him.
"Seto--"
"Get out Sherri! I-I'm fine!" Seto shouted. Sherri flinched again. 'I know he isn't. But why is he acting like this? He never shouts or yells at anyone. And the blight...it grew and it looked like it looked like it didn't even hurt him...' She thought. Nova looks at Sherri. Sherri turns to the door, she grabs the handle but stops.
"If you need someone, just come get me." She said before she left. Nova laid down beside Seto. Seto cried into his blanket, clutching his chest, in his fist was the ring and Jazmine's necklace. 'I knew it was hopeless, but...but why does it hurt so much? I was only pushing through those four years of being a slave to her. I lived for her, and now I...don't want to anymore.' Seto thought.

"His blight grew when you were talking?" Wag asks Sherri. Sherri nods.
"He looked like he got mad at me." She said. Wag looks away.
"That's not good. It his blight is growing because of his rage that could be bad for us. He needs to stay calm, blight can change people. Make them do things they wouldn't normally do." Wag said. Wag looks at her. "Just try not to anger him anymore. Especially after him finding out about Jazmine. He isn't in a stable state of mind."
"How do you know?" She asks. Wag smiles a little.
"I have my tricks. Just give him space, Sherri. Nova will take care of him." Wag said. Tom comes in, holding an open letter.
"G-Guys, look at this," Tom said. Sherri takes it and reads it. Her eyes widen.
"This...This isn't a good time. Seto can't fight anyone in his state." Sherri said. Wag reads it and his eyes look at Tom.
"Is Matt okay?" Wag asks.
"Phil and Ty are heading back now. But what do we tell Seto?" Tom asks. Sherri shoves the letter into Tom's hands.
"You tell him!"
"No! You are his apprentice! You tell him!"
"You're his friend! You've known him longer than me! You tell him!"
"Guys." Wag said. Tom and Sherri look at Coraline, who is standing in the doorway.
"What's going on?" She asks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Son of a--the effing door won't open!" Phil's voice yells. Matt flinched, groaning. He felt stiff, his head was spinning and he could barely move a muscle. Matt opened his eyes, his vision blurred which made his headache worse. He closed his eyes.
"Move! I'll open it!" Ty's voice yelled. Matt flinched, the door shook as Ty kicked it once. He kicks it again, this time breaking it open. Phil ran in seeing Matt laying on the floor.
"Matt!" Phil said. He falls to his knees beside Matt. Matt cracked open his eyes, he was gonna say something but was too weak to. Instead, he closed his eyes, saying nothing. Ty went pass them.
"Lincoln! Jazmine!" He yelled.
"They took them remember!" Phil shouted. Phil slips Matt's arm around his neck. Ty comes over and helps Phil. Matt's eyes snap open, he grabs Phil's shirt.
"P-Phil..t-tr-trap..g--"
"Ahhh I recognize this human." A voice said. Ty froze, his eyes widening. Phil looks at Ty.
"Ty, what's wrong?" Phil asks.
"Of course it was her. Out of all the dark mages, why her." Ty mumbled. Phil grits his teeth, he pushes Matt into Ty. Ty catches him, Phil turns around, putting up a shield that ricochets and hits the wall.
"Dark Mage scums aren't allowed in this city. So get the hell out." Phil said. Donella chuckles.
"Oh if it isn't the Fyre Master wizard Phillip? Where's your brother, James? I'll love to meet him, he is basically a dark mage right? You don't mind if I take him from you, do you?" She asks. Phil takes a few steps towards her, his hands balling into fists. He teleports Ty and Matt away. Donella smirks, seeing Phil's eyes glowing. "Now. Now. There is no reason for us to fight like children. You want the girl back? Here." Phil stops, seeing someone teleport beside Donella with a hold of Jazmine at sword point.
"Jazmine--"
"Phil no! Stay away from me!" Jazmine exclaimed. Phil had already taken a few steps towards her, that enough was enough for him to be able to sense the massive amounts of dark energy in the air. Phil took a step back, covering his mouth and nose with his hand. His knees starting shaking, his eyes water. Jazmine struggles. "No, Phil. Leave now!" Donella flicks her wrist towards Phil, making him go flying into the ceiling and crashing through a metal shelf. He sinks tot he floor. Donella sighs, crossing her arms. She walks towards him.
"You light mages, you are so weak. I want Seto or James to come here, not you pests! And don't worry about Lincoln, he's in good hands. Like you will be." She said. She looks at the busted open door. "That stupid human." She grabs Phil, Phil kicks her feet, making her fall on her ass. Phil gets up, crawling out the window and falling into an alleyway. He pants heavily as he sat on his knees. He grabbed his head, groaning. 'That...That dark energy...it's coming from Jazmine. How..I feel like I'm gonna vomit or faint or die.' Phil thought. Phil struggled to his feet, he pulled his hood up, taking off running. He grits his teeth together. His vision blurred, causing him to almost trip but he caught himself. He ran inside a building, a building he knows the apprentices and masters are in. Phil felt the air get taken out of him causing him to collapse on the spot.
"Phil!" A girl yelled. She got up and ran over to him. "O my god, what happened?!" Phil struggled to get up on his hands and knees, she puts her arms around him. "Don't push yourself, your bleeding. Just stay calm, you--" Phil fainted into her arms. "Phil.." She stayed still for a few moments, her eyes looking at him. She looked around, the room was empty, no one was here but her and Phil. Everyone had already gone to bed for the night. 'He's cold, and I can feel him burning up. What happened?' She thought. She flinched when the doors opened.
"Ahhh there is my wizard." A cloaked figure said. The girl holds him tighter, her eyes glowing.
"Stay away from him!" She said. They roll their eyes, Donella walking in.
"Oh look...it's his weakling of an apprentice. Bella isn't it?" Donella asks. Bella Crawne, she's still considered new to magic, but she knows enough to be able to protect herself. She is a kind girl but can be pretty sassy. She is a short girl with long wavy blonde hair with hazel eyes and is usually dressed in warm colors. She holds Phil tighter, protectively. Donella walks over to them. "Um, sweetheart. But he doesn't belong to you, he belongs to me now." Donella flicks her wrist at Bella, Bella goes flying into the wall. She cries out. collapsing onto the floor. Bella picks herself up, leaning against the wall as they grab Phil.
"NO!" She yelled, Her eyes glow and Donella goes flying into the wall. The dark mage looks at Donella and then at Bella.
"Find James now, I'll take care of this apprentice," Donella said. The dark mage disappears. Phil flinched, groaning slightly, but feeling too weak to get up. Donella puts her foot on Phil's upper back, Bella's hands ball into fists. "You have no idea what you are getting yourself into, I'm warning you now, apprentice. I'm a dark mage, and I took out you mentor without breaking a sweat--"
"You cheated somehow. Phil is a great wizard, he wouldn't have had a problem unless you cheated somehow. And why do you want Master Wag?" She asks.
"Psst. Isn't it considered disrespectful to your mentor to be calling him by first name in his presence or something? I know what you are doing, you cannot protect him. He will protect you, that's how all apprentices are, and all they will ever be." Donella said. Phil's eyes glow and he grabs Donella's ankle, her skin burnet as he touched her skin. Donella cried out.
"B-Bella." Phil weakly stuttered. Bella mumbled a spell, she flung it at Donella, but Donella deflected it. She looked at Phil.
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE ALREADY?!" Donella screamed before she kicked Phil in the stomach, making him go straight through a window and he crashes through a roof that lands him inside a bedroom. He screams feeling pain pulsating through him. His arms wrap around his waist, his eyes squeezed shut and panting heavily. The pain in his body kept flaring up, so much that the fact he was losing feeling in his right leg was meaningless to him. Arms grabbed him, worried voices trying to calm him down but he couldn't hear them. He couldn't make sense of their words, but he knew they were apprentices. It was the pain.
The pain was conflicting him, even time he felt like he had a handle on himself, he was proven wrong and just stayed laying on the floor, staying and moaning and groaning in absolute agony as he tried to get a handle on himself. 'I have to go help her, I have to help Bella. She doesn't stand a chance by herself. But...I can't move. Everything hurts so much, I can't move my leg.' Phil thought. Phil tried to move his right leg, but as soon as he did, he cried out feeling agonizing sharp pains ripple up his leg and up his body.
"S-Stop moving! Your leg's broken!" A voice yelled. Phil finally passed out, but when he did he heard screaming. 'I should have never come here.' Phil thought before he passed out.
