Setosorcerer Chapter 1

BAM

Sounds of a gunshot become muffled by the sounds of a scream. I smirk evilly from underneath my gas mask, using the girl's terrified shriek as the opening needed to shoot her in the face as well.

I sigh, looking down at the bodies. What was for lunch today?

I raid their bags, pulling out a sandwich and golden apples. I sigh, guess I was eating golden apples for lunch. I open the sandwich, taking a bite as I walked through the forest.

I stashed the gas mask in my bag, looking myself over. I had no blood on me, good. It's the first day of school, no need to freak out my classmates already.

There'd be plenty of time for that later.

I step out of the clearing, the tree branches automatically clearing to let me through. Nature had a heavy respect for me it seems.

I draw eyes as I walk by, mainly because I knew people recognized me. These certain people knew exactly who I was, which was why they stayed a good 20 paces away.

Running the city's underground kinda gave you privileges like that.

I look around boredly, slinging my purple and black bag over my shoulder. My cloak swished around my feet, my metal boots cracking the sidewalk underneath me.

And that's when I saw him.

It was a guy that looked just a little bit taller than me; dark brown hair covering up one eye while his other was a stunning crimson. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a black collar, purple wristbands around each wrist, and grey skinny jeans. On his head was a pair of black and green headphones, glowing brightly to signal that they were on. His skin was deathly pale; a natural beauty. A butterfly in the middle of a spider web.

And he was about to be hit by a car.

Without thinking, I run to him and tackle him out of the way, yelling "LOOK OUT!" as I hit him. We both hit the sidewalk on the other side, the cherry red Sudan barely grazing me as it sped past.

I glared after it, my brown eyes meeting one of my subordinates. I send him an order with my eyes; deal with it.

The blonde guy nods, dashing off with a group of other boys after the car.

I look down at the guy I had just saved, watching him look me over. I smile slightly; 5 minutes and this guy was already checking me out? Flattering.

"Hi there." He says in a small voice, making me want to snuggle him. He sounded like some sort of teddy bear! I replace the amused look in my eyes with a worried one, figuring this guy would like the 'cute and shy savior' more than the 'cute yet arrogant bastard savior'.

When all else fails, go for cuteness.

"Are you alright? I wouldn't have tackled you but that car was about to hit you..." I trail off, making a small blush appear on my cheeks as I looked away. I instantly melted into my role, making my innocent embarrassment clear.

"Its fine, thanks. You saved my skin, my name's Ty, you?" I mentally raise an eyebrow; we were at names already? This was progressing quicker than I thought. I let out a small yelp when he sits up, nearly throwing me off his lap. Ty helps me up, and I nearly wince when I saw how much taller than me this guy was.

"I'm Seto, it's nice to meet you Ty." I say politely, smiling. Ty smiles back at me, and we walk down the sidewalk together. I ended up showing him my schedule and locker number, finding out that we not only shared classes but our lockers were close to each-others.
