Chapter 45 - Watches (Reuploaded)

-Hopes POV-

The rain was still pounding hard as I walked away, feeling Seto's eyes burning into the back of my head, as well as Jerome and Mitch's, but theirs were less intense.

My head spun with everything I had just done. I had just saved my daddy. I had just saved myself. I had just changed a future of so many people dying.

That's all...my doing?

I was walking past one of the houses- a generic, stone patio with a small wooden base - when I heard a small voice.

"Hope...!" It called, hushed but urgent.

Stopping quickly in front of the door of the house, I glanced around, confusion written on my face. It wasn't loud enough to let me know the voice, and no one was around me, as far as I could see.

"Hello...?" I said softly. The scene vividly reminded me of a horror movie ; the main character hearing the soft knocking of the monster, walking into the pitch black room and calling out with hopes that it wasn't a flesh-eating beast.

This time, though, I got off a little better than that.

I let out a loud squeak as the door next to me popped open, showing Seto's face. Before I could say anything, he reached out, snatching my hoodie and dragging me in, causing me to let out a few sputtered coughs.

"Seto!" I gasped once I was in the room, out of the rain, and the door had been slammed shut. The inly sorce of light was in the corner, where Seto's magical sphere had been set up, same casing as earlier.

"Sorry about that," Seto mumbled, walking up to me. He grabbed me by the shoulders, curling his fingers around his jacket and ripping it off my body in one fluid motion.

"Aww," I frowned. "That thing was comfortable!"

Seto looked at me with a fake, joking hate in his eyes. "Your not gettin it, so keep dreaming!"

He walked over to the sphere, staring intently into it with a look of determination and focus. I sat behind him, shivering from the cold of the rain and wet clothes that stuck to my skin. I took the time to look around the room and take in my surroundings.

It was a wooden house on the inside, too. There was a small, red bed pressed against the upper left corner, and a nightstand right next to it. Against the bottom wall, there was a table, with chairs lined up. It was a lot like a bar - the table pressed against the wall, with the chairs only on one side of it.

I took the silent invitation, heaving up my cold body and sitting with a loud thump on the chair. The wet clothes felt strange and uncomfortable, but they were the best she could receive right now.

Sometime later, Seto glanced back slowly, eying her from head to toe. He had a hand on his chin, eyes still mixed with coldness and determination. It chilled Hope to the bone ; seeing how this man could seemingly change his outer emotions with the snap of his fingers.

"I have bad news." He suddenly mumbled, back now turned to the young female and seemingly refusing to look her in the eyes.

Hope froze. Had she failed?

"What's wrong?" She asked softly, peering around to get a look at Seto's face. He held that same, stoic expression, but now, there was a hint of something else in his eyes.

Worry.

"You need to go out again." He sighed sadly. "Im very sorry, but from how I'm seeing it, there's no choice, really. Either we do it or Ty falls victim again.." He reached out, cupping the ball like a person would do to their lovers face, gently brushing his thumb over the porcelain looking glass.

"If that's happens Herobrine will be ressurected and make a diar mistake...Ty will die and everything we just did will be for nothing."

"Then I'll do it." I said without thinking. I bit my tongue directly afterwards, about ready to slap myself across the face.

Why the hell did I say that?!?! I'm terrified! I shouldn't be throwing myself out there like that! I'll be too scared to do the mission!

I became quickly aware of Seto's eyes, which were burning into mine.

"Okay," he mumbled finally, turning around, shoulders stiff and eyes doused with worry. "You have to be careful, kiddo."

I froze.

Kiddo....?

---

"See you soon, Seto."

"You too kiddo."

---

"Your soaked to the bone in those clothes," Seto's sincere words snapped me back to reality, and I shot my head up to look at him, a level of surprise in my eyes.

"Here." He held out his hand, and I watched in obvious wonder as he began spinning his fingers around to create a ball in the air. The shape twisted and turned until suddenly, it took a shape, as a long, flowing white dress.

I gaped at it, jaw nearly hitting the floor at how pretty it looked. The arms were hanging down, creating a beautiful vale, and the material itself dragged behind you like a white wedding dress being worn down the isle.

I gasped, reaching out and grabbing it before it it could disappear. Seto laughed loudly, obvious entertained by my stylish needs.

"Oh," Seto mumbled softly, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a watch, a brown, ugly watch that would throw off the entire outfit. He tossed it to me, and watched as I caught it perfectly.

"Nice catch." He commented, then pulled out another one, exactly identical, out of his pocket and placed it on the table. "This ones mine."

"Now, go check in the bathroom." He instructed. "I think the dress will do well. I'll be seen you forward a little bit from now, to Ty and Sky's honeymoon. You'll be going into Ty's dream. If you warr this, it'll create the illusion that your some kind of angel to him."

"Wow..." I mumbled, still running my thumb over the smooth fabric. I looked up sharply, staring Seto right in the eyes, and nodding quickly. "Okay! I'll do it!"

And then I ran off for yet another adventure.

-Seto's POV-

I sat on the chair Hope had been in just minutes ago, head in hands as I contemplated everything. I hated sending such a young child on these trips. What if she doesn't come back? Then Sky and Ty will have a real reason to be pissed at me...

And anyways, why ARE they pissed at me?! I didn't do anything wrong, did I-

"So I just...step in here?" I was brought out of my thoughts by Hope, who was standing on my mystical circle, black, but encircled with purple.

(SHAMELESS PLUG READ THE AN THANK YOU)

I nodded quickly, jumping up from the stool and walking next to her.

I took her head in my hands, putting a thumb on her chin and staring her straight in the eyes. She stared back up at me, eyes shaking with curiosity.

I grinned, let go, and gently ruffled up her long hair. "Your going to do fine, kid. I can feel it."

She nodded quickly. "Y-Yeah." It was insanely obvious that she was shaking from nervousness on the inside, but I couldn't do anything to help her there. I simply took a step back, raising my arms up, and looking her dead in the eyes.

"Are you ready?"

...Gulp. "Yes." She nodded quickly.

"Okay..." I mumbled. "Here we go."

And then, I sent her back.

-----

"Okay..." I mumbled, watching her every step and move. So far, she was doing amazingly. She was such a natural, like the lines and every body motion came to her on the spot. But she was always able to perform them without fail.

And Ty had no idea.

My eyes darted back to the monitor, bleeping loudly as it kept track of everything that was happening. It kept checking the future ; making sure that what Hope was doing was going to positively and not negatively effect things.

If that thing started going off, we're in big troub-

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEP.

"SHIT." I screamed at the top of my lungs, lunging at the devise and scanning my eyes over the reading quickly.

I realized, with a gasp, that we have made a mistake.

A bad mistake.

I grabbed the watch off the table next to me, strapping it on my wrist with a fluid moment. As soon as I had, I flipped open the main circuit board, and began punching in Hopes coordinates with quick movements.

I set the timer for thirty seconds, knowing we couldn't afford anymore. It'll take her home in that time frame, no more, no less.

We'll be fine if she gets by then. We can fix this.
