Hybrid Factors (A Team Crafted FF)

Chapter 4 (Seto)

"Is something burning?" Sky asks as the scent of smoke fills the room. One though comes to my mind;

PANIC.

I start hyperventilating and have a silent anxiety and mini panic attack as I hold my head in my hands. Ty grips my shoulders. "Seto, Seto you okay man?" He asks. "Fire, fire, death, blaze..." I start to mumble.

Times I turned to my blaze form and killed so many innocent people came rolling back into my mind and I freak out. I can't take it, I don't wanna relive those times! As smoke slowly fills the room my panic and anxiety gets even worse and I collapse in Ty's arms as black dots dance in my vision.

I let the darkness consume me, sending me into the realm of the unconscious.

I slowly wake up on my side and my eyes flutter open for me to see fire. Fire absolutely everywhere.

Wait, where are the others, are they alright, are they hurt, are they dead, what happened?!

"LET ME GO! SETO'S STILL IN THERE, I CAN STILL GET TO HIM!" Someone shrieks. "Ty, stop it! He's probably dead, there's nothing you can do now!" Someone else yells. "I REFUSE TO THINK OF HIM DEAD! HE'S STILL ALIVE, JUST LET ME GO!" Ty screamed. There were more shouts and screams then a distant whoosh sound.

My vision got blurred as fire crept to form a messy ring around me. "I FOUND HIM!" I heard Ty's distant shout from far above me.

A light silhouette formed in the distance as the fire closed in on me.

I closed my eyes as warmth washed over my senses. I sensed my eyes change to an unnaturally bright orange and my hair become a fiery color as something nudged my arm. I slowly opened my eyes back up to find a blaze rod poking my arm through the arm of my robes that had become the colors of fire with a white edge.

I carefully pushed myself up and clutched a small blaze rod resting on a string that was once my ruby creeper amulet. The fire moved away from me as I took a step towards the approaching silhouette.
Pain shot up my leg and I fell to the ground, landing roughly on my back and one of my shoulders, I screamed in pain.

I have one chance to keep my secret safe, and I sure hope it actually works. Taking a deep breath, I crush the mini blaze rod I was clutching and return to normal, but my vision only blurred to the point were I couldn't even make out colors because they all blended together.

A ringing noise coated most of my hearing, but I still heard a muffled voice yelling. "SE--, --ETO I-- COM--- F--R --OU!" was all I could make out.

The shape of a person burst through the flames in a blur of red, black, and white. Mitch. I smiled the best I could, which was basically nothing, as he ran to my side.

The ringing in my ears lightened and I could actually hear Mitch as he spoke this time. "Just hold on Seto, I'll get you out of here and you'll get help, okay? Okay!" He said quickly as he picked me up and put me on his back.

As he ran back, my vision got worse and my hearing returned. I heard the crackles, snaps, and roars of the fire getting more distant and the sound of voices coming closer as they shouted.

I rested my head on Mitch's shoulder as my eyes closed on their own. "DON'T YOU DARE!" Mitch yelled.

I heard a soft thump then footsteps rushing up to me.

I'm taken from Mitch and laid down, a dulling pain spreads throughout my body. I wince slightly as the others are yelling. "SETO, DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME!" Ty screams. "Ty, I need you to take off his shirt so I can see if he has any serious wounds!" Quentin's voice echoes over. Someone moves me so I'm leaning back against them and I feel my shirt move a bit.

Someone comes over and puts something on the ground before pushing their hand against my chest. "He's alive," I think it was Quentin, sighed. The person I was leaning against, who I think was Ty, moved me a bit and Quentin shrieked.

I cringed lightly and opened my eyes slightly. Everyone else from the team was staring at me as Quentin cringed.

"Uh, Seto, tell me if this hurts..." he said slowly then pushed his hand against my back. I screamed into Ty's shoulder in pain as it exploded my senses. Ty ran his fingers through my hair in attempt to calm me.

"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." I say softly as I slip into darkness once more.

I'm sorry I lied to you.
