-Chapter 51-

-Hopes POV-

I stood, rigid as a stone, staring at Seto as he completely broke down. My limbs were numb, my arms refusing to move, my legs turning to jelly. I found myself wanting to help him, but...unable to.

A few dead, silent minutes passed, the only sound that spread through the night being Seto's wracked sobs, before I finally regained control of my body and darted out to hold him.

The second my hands clasped his shoulders, he stood up on obviously shaky legs and threw his arms over my neck. I gasped at the sudden motion, but wrapped my arms around his waist and patted his head softly.

"I'm so tired...." He mumbled through his heavy gasps and choked breaths. I reached back, rubbing circles on his back, like I had seen Papa do to Daddy whenever they were laying down on the couch together.

I felt his limbs slowly relax, and he leaned over on me a little bit, taking several deep, gulping breaths and clutching onto the back of my jacket.

"I need Ian..." He mumbled into my shoulder. "He's...he's always able to calm me down...and I don't h-have him...I'm so sick of being such a terrible p-person..." His words were muffled, since he had his head buried in my shoulder, but I was able to thinly make out what he was saying.

"Alright," I whispered softly, running my fingers through his silky hair after flipping his hood down, something else I had seen my parents doing in their many moments of public affection.

"Your okay. None of this is your fault. You just need to take a few deep breaths, alright? Everything's coming down on you at once, and if you can pull yourself out of that, it'll be a lot easier to do this. Not a piece of cake, but easier. And you'll be able to see Ian soon, I promise. We're almost done, right? That's what you said to me?

"Yeah..." He mumbled slowly, finally pulling away from my hug and tugging her hoodie up, only to completely cover his face with it again. A frown tugged at my face ; because he always had that thing on, I could never tell his expression, and if I couldn't tell, I couldn't help him when he needed to be helped.

"Here," I mumbled, reaching out, and gently flipping up the hood, to reveal his stoic face. It wasn't an expression, per say, but at least now, if he ever showed one...

I would see it.

"Come on," he turned around, taking my hand in his and giving me a small tug. I gasped as a sudden, loud buzz started vibrating in my pocket. My heart began racing faster, and my hand immediately twitched, wanting to answer it so badly.

As I began walking behind Seto, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the small phone that he had used just days ago. I clicked on my iMessages, and my face lit up the second I saw her name.

(A/N a lot of you guys wanted it to either be a boy or for her to end up with Seto. Someone sent me an OC, though, and it was too tempting to not include her in it. I'm going to go halfway, okay? You'll see.)

From : Cora

Hey gurl :3 how u doin. Wit ur uncle right?

Read : 10:47

I quickly began pressing my fingers into the screen, grinning as I read her text over and over again. I clicked send, then stuffed my phone into my pocket and turning back to Seto.

To : Cora

Hai :) gud. B home soon.

Send : 10:48

I looked up just in time for Seto to turn around, locking eyes with mine in a firm grasp. We both a me to a rigid stop, eyes refusing to detach from each other for an unknow reason. He seemed to be expecting my face, before slowly turning around, shoulders stiff.

"Who are you texting..?" He asked softly, a hint of...bitterness in his voice? He continued walking, not waiting for a reply before he went back to speaking about our mission.

"There's only one thing left. Then you can go home. This one is...the most risky though...one wrong move and it's all over." He spoke with such a shaky voice, fists still clenched like before.

"Where are we going?" I asked, running up to him so I was walking at his own pace. He didn't answer, just kept walking, until he slowly held out his hand, palm up.

I glanced up at him, confusion littered in my eyes, and slowly took his hand in mine. He intertwined our fingers, looking up at the sky and closing his eyes tightly. His lips moved rapidly as he began mumbling incoherent gibberish, squeezing my hand a little tightly than before and scrunching his face up.

His mumbling began louder, his voice lighter as he went, until he was screaming into the pitch dark night. His knees were bent, and he was leaning forward ever so slightly, like a three year old giving a tantrum.

The aura he was giving off made me squeeze his hand a little less, fear running through me as his eyes flipped open, a look of fire embedded in the blue orbs.

And then, we shot up.

My mouth fell open, and I screamed my head off, letting go of Seto's hand and gripping onto his arm and shoulder instead. The wind shot around us and we rocketed into the air, all sound being lost as the roaring of air drowned us.

I felt ourselves slowing down, but I still gripped onto his, face buried in my shoulder and eyes scrunched tight. He gently shook my shoulder, but I ignored it and focused on taking deep a level breaths.

"Hope," I heard him say something. "Come on, open your eyes. It's not everyday someone gets to fly, ya know."

I slowly, hesitantly and shyly removed my head from the mans shoulder, immediately letting out a squeak of surprise and fear as I took in our surroundings.

We were in the middle of the sky, a roaring highway below us. Seto had a firm grip on my arm, but something told me it was just for comfort. I felt light, the usual heaviness in my limbs completely dissapearing. The area around us was darted white ; the clouds that littered the sky. We were using them as protection from the human eyes.

Below us, cars spead and slowed down, the headlights being the only thing that differed them from the rest of the cars. My eyebrows raised, and I turned back to Seto.

"Now what?" I asked softly.

"Now," he whispered slowly. "Is when I either mess up and we have to start all over again, or when you get to go home."

"Um..." I said slowly, looking away and taking in a deep gulp of air. It was tight up here, and the fear of not going home that began flowing through me wasn't helping my cause in any way. "Please don't mess up then...?"

"Right now, at this very moment, Ryan is drunk. We're in the future, by a few days. I have to control his car, and ram him into Sky and Ty. But if they hit too hard, Ty will die, and the baby in return. You will die if I do this wrong. I have to focus with everything I have to make sure that doesn't happen."

"Right..." I mumbled, turning around and gently, nervously wiggling my arm out of his tight, protective grip. Sure enough, when he let go, I was still floating high above, my feet dangling underneath me.

"Okay..." He mumbled tightly, squeezing his eyes tightly and squeezing his hands gently. A dark, purple glow slowly appeared, completely surrounding his fist and illuminating the dark night air around us.

"I...I can't mess this up..." He whispered, and that's when I looked down to see a car more lit up than the others, speeding down the highway at lightning's spead.

And it realized that this was the moment.

-A/N-

;)

Friday will be the last chapter D: (it'll probably be longer than normal too because I'm putting a lot of things into it, the ending of this, Sky, Ty and Hope meeting, and a lot of fluffy stuffs ;)

Okay THIS IS FOR THE HOPE X SETO FANS : I DID GO OVER MAKING THEM HAVE A RELATIOSHIP, BUT IN THE END, I DECIDED THAT TOO MANY THINGS WOULD GO WRONG FOR ME TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. IAN AND SETO WOULD BE IN A PROBLEM, WHICH I SWORE THERE WOULDNT BE ANY FIGHTS OR PROBLEMS BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS (THIS IS A FLUFFY LOVE STORY) AND THAT WOULD BE SHATTERING THAT. ITS PEDOPHILIA AS WELL. AND HOW WOULD SKY AND TY REACT?

HOWEVER, I DO PROMISE SOME FANSERVICE. ALONG WITH IN THIS CHAPTER THERE WAS A BIT OF JEALOUS SETO. SO. SORRY. HAPPY? XD

ALSO I HAVE OFFICIALLY DECIDED THAT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SKYLOX STORY AFTER THIS ONE. I EVEN HAVE THE NAME READY. ITS GOING TO BE CALLED - "FIELD OF FLOWERS." IT WILL BE COMPLETELY SEPERATE FROM THE WOA STORY WITH ITS OWN PLOT, BUT I WILL EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE MORE TOMORROW WHEN I RELEASE A LITTLE THING ABOUT WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, EXC.)
