Grasping Fate [F2R Book 2]

Chapter Two

*EDIT* WHOOOPS. Forgot to title the chapter....

Whoo, this is a bit early but who cares! We visit the rest of Seto's friends who arrive in Duhita finally! Yay, and I know that by the end of this chapter all you guys will nonstop ship things, because that is what you'll do.

I should be used to it, but ugh I'm not. Also, I know the quote is the same one I used in CH4 for Destiny Calls, but it fits nicely for both chapters.

Also! Go check out Alzakz she just made an amazing Fanart for Falling to rise with Jerome and Mitch angrily calling each other names! Thank you once again.

And if anyone else makes fanart for me, please tell me I'd love to see it, and I'll do my best to shout you out!

Also, anyone else notice how it has become a thing to call Mitch princess? I love how that is now a small little thing for my small little book XD

Grasping Fate

Chapter 2

"Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness"

Seto and Tyler were tangled on the floor of the carriage as the carriage bumped and rocked along while racing down the streets of Neim. It was difficult for the both of them to sit upright with the hectic movement but as soon as they managed to, Tyler immediately spoke.

"Seto! Are you ok?!"

"Am I ok! Tyler you were surrounded on all sides by soldiers, are you hurt anywhere!" Seto panicked.

"I'm fine," Tyler assured him, "But if you're ok and I'm ok can you explain to me what's going on. Like, where the nether did you get a carriage and who is that chick--"

"My name is Alesa, thank you!"

"Err, Alesa, right... But who is she?" Tyler corrected.

"I met Alesa after we ran into a bit of trouble earlier, she ended up helping me afterwards and now we are here," Seto recalled quickly.

At that moment a sword stuck its way into the wall of the carriage just narrowly missing Tyler, "Oh! What the holy nether!" Tyler stood up in the small space and pulled out his sword, "Seto, get up, we're gonna have to fight in here."

"R-right!" Seto didn't have a sword but he did have his staff, He pulled that out and both he and Tyler faced opposite door.

"Girl with fire hair--"

"Alesa, remember!"

"Right, Alesa, we'll do our best back here, just make sure you just keep driving!"

"That's what I'm doing."

When Seto looked outside, the color from his face almost drained completely. It looked like a small army, though that was an exaggeration, it felt like the right thing to say. There were just so many soldiers chasing after them, and the Vragan border was still a ways off now that they were no longer in the capital.

"Come back here!" One soldier surged forward on his horse and with his sword swung for Seto's face. Seto barely dodge back into the carriage when the sword embedded itself into the wood and was ripped out of the soldiers hands. Seto sighed.

Tyler seemed to be doing better, actually putting up a fight. Another soldier made their way to Seto's side, but this time Seto was ready. With his staff out he blocked the next attack, and with all his meager might, he pushed the soldier off his horse. Seto knew the relief in his heart would be short lived if he did not focus now.
