-Chapter 15-

-Sky's POV-

My breaths were being squeezed out of my chest. Nothing seemed to be worth it at the moment. Not even breathing.

He was gone. Something had happened. And I knew, that if I ever lost him again...we wouldn't be as lucky as before.

I need him.

I can't live without him. You hear me?!?

I've fallen so desperately in love with the small man I met on Rune Scape. I wouldn't have saved him if I didn't care as much. But he was worth every breath in my body, and I need him to love. I would die without him, which is what made the time in Minecraft a living hell. I spent minute apon hour apon day upon month, wondering if he was ever going to be safe in my arms ever again.

I need him to breath, to eat, to function. I know it isn't healthy to rely so much of your live on another human being, for all you know they can turn around and slap you.

But not him.

I. Need. Him.

"Sky?!?! Sky what's going on?!?" Screamed Seto on the other line, distress crackling through his voice and traveling through the receiver.

I reached down, very slowly, so that I could focus on the phone. Tears flooded my vision very rapidly, making it hard to work things out and keep my mind on them.

Plus, it just didn't seem worth it.

"W-What?" I hiccuped, collapsing on the sofa behind me. I immediately brought my knees to my chin, allowing myself to full out bawl in a ball.

"Sky, Sky. Please, just try to calm down."

"DONT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!!" I hollered in the receiver, even though I knew he was right. "I CAN'T CALM DOWN, HE'S GONE AND ITS ALL MY FAULT-"

"Sky? Why are you screaming?"

The phone went clattering to the floor again, the bump echoing throughout the small room.

My head flashed around, and there, standing while rubbing his eyes, was my precious Ty Dahlberg. He looked tired, and his hear was tussled and messed up.

We locked eyes for a good twenty seconds, just staring back at each other. I put my foot down, so slowly that if you weren't paying direct attention, you wouldn't have known.

"T-Ty..." I said very slowly, eyes darting across all parts of his skin, searching for all and any kinds of injuries ; and pain that might have been inflicted upon him while I was paying attention.

But then, reality seeped in.

He was here.

I flung myself at him, causing him to gasp and almost fall over when I grabbed him. Quickly pulling him back up, I put my hand on the back of his head and pulled him as close as possible. Keeping my hand placed firmly and the other on his back, I let go, sobbing loudly.

Slowly and obviously confusedly, Ty's arms wrapped around me as well, and his cuddled into my back, resting his chin on my shoulder. He whispered soft things, trying to get me to calm down, but the pure sound of his voice drove my heart to overflow even more.

"Ty," I hiccuped, "don't scare me like that. Where the hell were you."

"I'm sorry, Sky. You were on the phone and I couldn't sleep, so I decided to get up and go to the bathroom. I was in there when I heard you crying and sobbing, so I came out to see if you were alright. I didn't mean to scare you, I'm really sorry." He began rubbing circles on my back, and left butterfly kisses on my ear and cheek.

"It's not your fault, I was just really worried." I chuckled, reaching up and quickly (quite embarrassingly, might I add) wiping away my tears with the back of my hand.

"Ty, listen," I said suddenly. "Seto just called. He told me that woman isn't trustable, and I believe Seto more than anything, okay? So just don't trust her."

Ty nodded quickly, pulling back and kissing up my cheeks, all the way up to eyes, in order to rid of the tears. "I won't, I promise."

"Good," I murmured, before, in one quick swipe, darted down and swept him off his feet. In stead of squealing like usual, he wrapped his legs around my torso and curled his arms around my neck. I continued to rub his back as I walked over to the bed, my steps soft and light.

"Goodnight, baby." I whispered, lowering him and placing him softly on the bed. His arms and legs retracted as he snuggled into the cover, now simply awaiting my return.

I padded over to the phone, snatching it up and speaking softly into the reciever. "Gotta go Seto. We'll talk tomorrow, alright?"

"But Sky-"

"Bye!" I pressed the hang-up button, and walked over to the bed, in order to swallow my baby in my arms and stroke his hair until his breathing leveled and our limps were tangled together.

-???'s POV-

Rage filled my body from head to toe as I stomped into the other room, my loud boots echoing throughout the house.

"WHY," I practically hollered "DID YOU TELL HIM THAT?!"

"Relax," the sorcerer snapped back. "It was just to throw them off."

"BUT SETO, THEY HAVE TO TRUST ME."

"Not necessarily. Listen, I was just covering for you. That was stupid, going into his dream." Seto crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair.

"It was to help our plan," I growled in response. "You want to do all these things to them as much as I do, so just keep your trap shut."

"I hope you realize, that they WILL-" he cut himself off, looking the other way. "Never mind. Nothing a fifteen-year-old would understand."

"They think I'm nineteen." I retorted.

"I wish you were as mature as that."

"Hey! I recruited you to help me get them, not do this!"

"You didn't 'recruit me', kiddo." Answered Seto, putting quotes around. "I agreed to help because I wanted to."

"Same, difference." I growled, shaking my head. "I still don't understand why you did that."

Seto's eyes clouded over. "Again, it's to throw them off. They can't see what's going on ; they can't see us coming. It'll end terribly, and our plan with be all messed up."

"It'll be terrible if they see us coming..." I mumbled softly, looking away. "We won't be able to hurt them."

"Exactly. Now just shut up and trust me, okay? I am ten years older than you."

I looked at him for the longest time, our eyes locking and meeting. My caramel eyes bore into his, trying so desperately to win this battle.

But he was right, I needed him for this, and I couldn't bear to loose his assistance."

"Fine, Seto Sorcerer." I growled in response. "Have it your way. He now knows."
