Too Far: A Teamcrafted Story: Book 2 In The Guardians Trilogy

Ch. 8: I'm Sorry Adam

Ty's P.O.V
"I know you talked to her Ty." Notch said. I look at him and cross my arms.

"I did." I said.

"Not even gonna try to deny it are you?" He asks. I shrug my shoulders.

"What's the point when you already know?" I ask.

"She's dangerous Ty. She is a part of the problem." Notch said. What problem?!

"What problem? Notch you haven't told us anything!" I shouted. Notch narrows his eyes at me.

"I will not take disrespect from the likes of you Tyler." He snapped. I clenched my fists. He lied to us, all these years, about everything. He lied to Adam, to us.

"Why? What did Adam ever do to you?" I ask.

"Oh nothing Ty. It was a simple deal that was made. If he gives me his son, then I won't have to take action." Notch said.

"What kind of deal is that?!" I yelled. Notch grabs my arm suddenly.

"Listen here Tyler, you're stepping into things you won't understand. So don't tell Adam or anyone of Sofie existing. Ii just fixed Adam's memory, I don't need to fix it again." Notch said. Fixing Adam's memory? You mean he has been 'fixing' Adam's memory right under our noses all this time?!

"Fix? You mean cover up?" I ask. I knock his hand off my arm. Does Seto know this?! He must have! "So is that why you favored Seto doing your dirty work? Don't need the rest of us finding out huh?"

"We don't need Adam's memory returning Ty. That would prove to be too drastic even for him to take. Think about Adam here, if he remembered who he was he would turn into just like his father. A killing machine. Then I would have to ask you to kill Adam, would you want that Ty? To have the job to put Adam down?" Notch asks. I look at the floor, n-no way. Adam is my best friend, I couldn't...I look at him. "Then you must understand the situation of why I have kept this from you guys, including Seto." He puts his hand on my shoulder. "A battle is coming up Ty, distrust would be too much for us right now. So do I have your secretly? Remember this is all about protecting Adam from his father." B-But....I look away from him.

"Y-Yeah." I said. Notch smiles.

"Good. Good. So since you know you can help me now. Whenever Adam has his usual headaches, can you bring him to me?" Notch asks. I look at him as he walks to his crystal ball thing.

"Why?" I ask.

"That symbolizes his memory is returning." He said. I cross my arms. I don't agree with keeping this from Adam but....if he is in danger and this is the only way to keep him safe then fine. "You are with me right Ty?" I look up.

"Yeah." I said.

"No more talking to Sofie. She is trying to get to Adam, make sure she stays away from him." Notch said. I nod. I walk towards the door. "And one kore thing Ty." I stop as I grab the door handle.

"What?" I ask.

"I know this might not seem fair to Adam, but its whats best for him." Notch said. I grip the handle a little and then leave without saying another word to him.

Once I leave the castle I see Ariana looking a little upset. I fly over to her and land.

"What's wrong Ariana?" I ask. She looks up at me.

"Farla told me Seto was attacked." She said. I thought Seto was with her still. I bend down to her level.

"But isn't Seto still sick?" I ask. She nods. "Is he at the temple?" She nods again.
