Ch. 5: Sick Seto

Ariana's P.O.V
I open my door and see Notch standing there with his arms crossed at me.

"Where is he?" He asks.

"Who?" I asks.

"Seto. Where is he? I've been trying to contact him for the pass two hours." He said. Well Seto is actually passed out on my couch upstairs. Seto was having trouble sleeping last night, so I gave him something to help. And I gave him too much of it.

"I don't know." I said.

"He's in this house isn't he?" Notch asks. I groan.

"He's sleeping, let him sleep." I said.

"It's three in the afternoon Ariana. What does he have, a hangover?" He asks.

"He could." I said.

"No he couldn't. Seto doesn't drink alcohol like Ty and Adam does." Notch said. I cross my arms and lean in my doorway.

"How do you know that?" I ask.

"Because those two had hangovers a couple of times when I needed them for a mission. And seeing Ty fly drunk is hilarious." Notch said. I don't move from my spot. Seto has been exhausted lately, he was just hurt and needs time to recover. "Ariana this is a critical situation and I need my wizard."

"You do know that you have all powerful beings like Brine, Wither and Ender who will follow your commands right? Seto isn't the only guardian that can do everything." I said.

"I know. I would have Ty do this but he is out of town again and I can't contact him. This isn't a wither curse type of mission. And Adam needs to learn to control himself." Notch said.

"Seto's can't." I said. He stares at me for a second and then shakes his head looking a little mad.

"What did you do to my Sorcerer Guardian Ariana?" He asks.

"It was an accident!" I said instantly.

"What did you give him?" Notch asks.

"I gave him too much of something and now he won't be waking up for a few hours." I said.

"Move, let me see him." He said. I move out of the way and he comes in. "How much drugs did you give him?"

"It's called medicine." I said.

"It is called medicine, but it's also called drugs. Some drugs don't handle Seto's magic very well Ariana. That's why he doesn't drink alcohol, you want to see what a drunk wizard can do?" He asks. I shake my head. "Well let me just say it ain't pretty, their magic gets out of their control. What did you give him?"

"It was just sleep medicine. I gave him too much of it." I said.

"Damnit Ariana! I need Seto." He said.

"Well then maybe you shouldn't have been working him to death." I said.

"I do not work him to death." Notch said.

"Seto came back injured yesterday Notch. And did you care about that? No you didn't. Not one bit did you care. But you suddenly do care about him when he isn't being you're servant and doing what your telling him to do." I said back. Notch takes a step back from me as I hear soft footsteps from upstairs. "You need to give him breaks Notch. You're overworking him!"

"I am not!" Notch said back.

"Can I say something?" Seto asks suddenly. We both look at him.

"No!" We both yell. Seto sits on the steps. He still looks exhausted, but now he looks sick.

"Sorry. Are you feeling okay?" I ask.

"Not one bit." He said. He doesn't look like it either.

"See what you did to him!" Notch said. Seto winces.

"Can you two stop yelling? I got a horrible headache and I feel like I'm gonna be sick." He said.

"Do you have a hangover?" Notch asks him. Why does he automatically go to that?! Seto can't have a hangover, you can't get a hangover by having medicine!

"No." Seto said.

"Then you're fine. Come on let's go. Got a job for you to do." Notch said grabbing Seto's wrist and pulling him towards the door.

"Hold it!" I yelled as I grab Seto's other wrist and pull him towards me stopping them both. I put the back of my hand on Seto's forehead. "He has a high fever."

"So? He'll tough it out." Notch said. Seto pulls his wrists out of our grip.

"Hey. I am.." Seto starts as he turns a little pale.

"Seto? You okay?" I ask.

"Umm...Be right back." Seto said as he runs pass me and upstairs.

"Yeah he'll tough it out. Right after he pukes a thousand times in my bathroom." I said to him.

"You gave him too much of that drug, that's why he is sick." Notch said. I cross my arms.

"You do know that Farla would agree with me here in saying Seto is staying here with me so I can take care of him." I said.

"No he's not. He's coming with me so he can get the job I need done." Notch said. I hear Seto come back down the steps. "See he is fine. What were you doing up there?" Seto looks at Notch.

"Puking, what else?" He asks raspy. I take his jacket off him and fold it in my arm.

"Seto go upstairs and lay down in my bed, you're staying there till you're better." I said.

"No. He's fine. He doesn't need rest, fresh air will help him." Notch said.

"You want to go upstairs and check my bathroom? Be my guest." I said. I turn Seto around and push him up the stairs. "You're not getting him. He won't be any help to this job puking his guts out." Seto goes upstairs and I turn to Notch with my arms crossed. "What? You want Seto to start a spell and end it wi-"

"I can't let Adam take this job Ariana. I just can't." Notch said interrupting me.

"Why not?" I ask.

"Because he just can't. He would be able to finish it easy, but not this." Notch said.

"Seto is too sick to do this Notch. He's not leaving this house till he is better and can hold something down without it coming back up. Now if you excuse me, my best friend is currently puking in my bathroom right now and needs me." I said starting to go up the steps.

"Don't give him too much medicine again!" Notch said.

"I won't!" I said. I hear my door open and shut. I open my bedroom door and sit Seto's jacket on the couch he slept on. I turn around and go into the hallway. He's done. I grab his arm. "Come on. You need to rest. I'm sorry I gave you too much medicine to get you sick."

"It wasn't the too much medicine as much as it doesn't like my magic right now." He said. Oh. Okay I'll blame that cause I didn't know that happened.

"I'll be right back. You go to sleep." I said. I leave my room and go downstairs. I open a drawer and grab a towel. I run it under cold water. I run back up the steps.

Farla's P.O.V
"Um..Notch. I don't know if you noticed this at all, but I'm not a Guardian." I said to him.

"I know. Seto is sick and can't do this. I would give it to Jason but his wither curse won't do anything on this mission." He said. I cross my arms.

"How do you know it won't?" I asks.

"Because he'll have an opinion afterwards about it! He'll ask questions of why it is what it is." Notch said. I would too!

"Jason may be the youngest of those four boys. But he can do it. Send him in." I said.

"No." Notch said. I cross my arms. He turns away from me.

"Well then lets see your options right now. You got a very sick Seto. Out of town Ty. Probably a hangover Adam. Or completely free and sober Jason. Take your pick." I said. He turns to me and pauses for a second.

"Seto." He said. Fine I'll play his stupid game right now.

"Alright, Ariana is probably taking care of him right?" I ask.

"How did you know?" He asks.

"Because the boys would have dumped Seto on her to take care of him in the first place. So if you want to go ahead and try to take Seto out of her house, be my guest. Can I video tape it?" I ask.

"No! And I already tried. She can be stubborn as a mule." Notch said.

"Jason can do this Notch. Why are you doubting him?" I ask. Notch sits down in his chair.

"I'm not doubting the him." He said.

"Then let him take the job!" I said.

"Well maybe Ty might come back or Seto co-"

"NOTCH!" I yelled. Notch stands up.

"Okay! Okay!" Notch said. He picks up a paper and hands it to me. "Give this to Jason, he leaves immediately. He doesn't need to check here first." I smile and leave.
