Into the Light or be Captured By the Dark(Seto x Reader)

Chapter 18

OH MY NOTCH! I have never found a picture that has almost perfectly mirrored what I imagined the place to look like! I'm so sorry it's blurry but it's so beautiful! Just imagine it brighter maybe and more colourfull flowers, little butterflies, dragonflies and little animals running around while colorful fish come up to the surface every now and then, it's almost perfect!!

I take a deep breath trying hard to hold back the tears that are threatening to spill.

"Seto? You in here?" I ask, knocking on his door.

"Yeah, you can come in," I hear him say.

I open the door slowly then step through the doorway.

"Hey, whatcha up to?" I ask walking over to Seto who's bent over his desk writing something in his notebook.

"Hm?" He asks looking up at me before closing it quickly and putting it in his desk.

I stand on tip-toes trying to look over his shoulder at what he was writing before he closed the notebook and shoved it into his desk drawer.

"Oh, nothin. Haha," he laughed nervously," Whatcha need?"

"Oh," I said as I stood straight," I was, uh, wondering if you wanted to take a walk. Since, you know, we haven't visited the pond in awhile."

"Oh! Yeah sure, just give me two seconds. You can go ahead, I'll catch up!" He said giving me a grin as he turned back to his desk.

"Oh, okay then." I said turning to walk towards his door.

I hear a page being ripped and paper being folded by the time I make it out his door and into the hallway. I continue to walk until I hear feet thumping on the floor then a loud thump as someone trips behind me. I turn around as I hear the thumping of someone running just in time to see Seto trip on the way out of his door and stumble before righting himself again and running up beside me with two cloaks in hand. He wraps a purple cloak around my shoulders, fastening it in the front before wrapping one around his own and doing the same. I look at him quizzically as a light pink dusts his cheeks and a sheepish smile adorns his face.

"It might rain later and it's been windy lately, I didn't want you to get sick."

"Oh, thanks," I thank him, giving a small smile in return.

We walk to a small pond in the heart of the castle garden in silence. This is a part of the castle grounds no one knows exist, and we're sure about that because we've asked, but us. Something we discovered years ago when we first arrived here at the castle and thought it would be fun to explore. It's strange, almost magical. This place can't be seen from above, somehow the trees that have grown up have formed a canopy, keeping it hidden from view of any on lookers in the castle.

We entered the secluded part of the castle garden, my heart nearly stopping at the breathtaking sight; no matter how often I visit it's beauty never fades. I sit at the waters edge and stare at my reflection, not wanting to meet Seto's eyes just yet. I look over my clothes and hair, my h/c hair down, braids and curls adorning the plain style making it look like a more elegant style than it is, and my elegant f/c dress looking awkward on me, as if it didn't suit me. Then again it was only recently that I set my casual regular clothes aside for something like this since all the celebrations have begun with the Dead Army's recent victory against the Bulgarian forces that were trying to take over Ty's land and kingdom.
