Shrunken

Chapter 1

(*This story's probably gonna be short, I've been having MAJOR writer's block*)

~Seto's POV~

I had to concentrate, this potion was tricky... but I wanted to at least try to make it. I added a few ghast tears as it started to steam. A knock at the door broke my concentration. Ugh, what now? I thought in annoyance. I stepped away from my work, opening the door with a frown. As soon as I saw who was there, I hid my annoyed look with a welcoming smile.

"Hey Tyra, need anything?" I greeted.

"Well, Brice said you were working on something... do you need any help?" Tyra offered. Her porcelain face blushed lightly when she looked into my eyes... dang it, they were probably pink or something. Yeah, not too long ago, I spilled an emotion-reading potion in my eyes... now my irises are like a "living mood ring". I haven't gotten every color down, but so far purple is for angry (or when I'm using magic), turquoise is for sad, green is for envious, yellow is for scared or worried and pink... well, it usually happens while I'm blushing....

"Sure," I said, letting her inside. Curiosity lit up in her lapis lazuli colored eyes as she examined the brewing potion. Her gleaming, silver scythe swung at her side as she bent to look at it.

"Don't touch it..." I warned.

"I'm not stupid, Seto... its Fire Resistance, isn't it?" she responded. I smiled, she used to be my apprentice in potions. She's very intelligent, and a fast learner. You wouldn't be able to tell it was Fire Resistance because it was only halfway done and grey instead of orange.

"Yep, can you get a fire charge for me? They're in the closet..." I asked.

"Sure!" she smiled, disappearing into the closet. God, she's cute, I thought.

That was a big mistake. I should've just done it myself. I shouldn't have sent her in there...

~Tyra's POV~

I closed the door behind me, not wanting to bother him if I made any noise. I flicked the light switch on, casting a hazy glow on everything. It was almost empty, a few boxes littered the floor and numerous potions stood on shelves. I knelt down and rummaged through one of the boxes. I started thinking about how Seto's eyes turned pink whenever he looked at me. His REAL eye color is brown, but it changes often depending on his mood.

Ender pearls... magma cream... ghast tears... blaze powder... more miscellaneous potions... no fire charges... I got up to look through another box. My head hit something hard as I got back up, probably a shelf. It didn't hurt, until glass hit me and shattered with a loud crash. I winced and fell backward, green liquid dripping down my face. I almost cried out, glass shards impaled into my scalp. I felt like I was falling, the world fading away.
