The Slave: A SetoSorcerer/ ClassicPsy/ Waglington Story

Ch. Seventeen: A Familiar Face

I'm gonna be gone all day tomorrow, so I'm posting this chapter today. No chapter tomorrow..

And I plan to get a Last To Know chapter out today...But that might not happen because of how much homework I got and so little time to do it..

*Coraline's P.O.V*

I went inside, seeing Seto right where I left him, laying on a small bed with Nova sleeping on his legs. I move over beside them, blowing out a torch and letting the darkness engulf us. Hopefully he'll wake up soon. I crawl in beside him, I rest my arm on his chest and my head on the pillow. This is a bed meant for a little kid, and it would be better if Nova wasn't where she was. I sigh slightly and bring my head down a little bit. Seto has helped me a lot, more than I could repay, but I have to make it up to him and this is a start. I close my eyes.

When I woke up again, I open my eyes to seeing him. His arm is around my waist and his head is against mine. I blush and bite on my bottom lip. I was about to move closer when Nova jumps between us, making me jump as she growls at me. I move back and fall off the bed and onto the floor. Nova then lays down where I was, but she is staring at me. What is her problem? I get up, rubbing the back of my head. I look at Seto, still unconscious. I sigh and look outside seeing the sunrise. I go over to the giant hole in the wall and I hear a voice. I look up and down the road, seeing no one. I duck when I see someone leaving a broken down home. Who is this? I look behind me, at Seto who didn't seem like he was gonna wake up for some time, so...I better be careful. I still feel a little sick and weak from being in jail, but Seto needs me, so I need to try my best. I cough and cover my mouth instantly, the figure stops.

"Good going, Coraline." I mumble to myself. I go over to Seto when I saw that the figure is heading towards us. I touch Seto, shaking him slightly. I jump hearing them coming up the steps. I slowly go down to my knees in fear, I keep my back to the door as I hear it open.

"Who's there?" They ask. I look behind me. My eyes widen seeing a sword in their hand.

"P-Please don't hurt me...I..I don't know what else to do for him." I said shaky. I couldn't see their face, but I could tell that he was kind of cute and has to be a little older than me. He lowers his sword, Nova picks up her head, starting to growl at the person. I look at Nova.

"I'm not gonna hurt you, what's your name?" He asks. Nova stands up, baring her teeth at him. I stand up, going in front of Nova.

"Calm down! He won't do anything." I said. Nova looks at me and then turns to Seto. I turn halfway, looking at him. "R-Right? You..You won't--"

"No, I'm not that type of person. How long have you been here? What's your name?" He asks.

"Coraline and...about a day." I said. He sheaths his sword. He lowers his hood, looking at Seto. Wait a second....I recognize this person. He looks familiar. "Who are you?" He looks at me.

"Tyler, but people call me Ty." Ty said. Ty....

"You seem familiar." I said. He smiles a little. My eyes look at him, up and down. He has light brown hair that lightly covers his left eye, his eyes are different colors; one is green and one is red. He also has a white t-shirt with black pants and black jacket with a gray hood that is big enough to conceal his face.

"I get that a lot." He said. He walks beside me. "Is your friend hurt?" I shake my head.

"Well..I'm not sure actually. He just won't wake up. He did some spell and now he won't wale up." I said. Wait, I just told Ty that Seto is a wizard. I don't know Ty's views on magic, that was a terrible mistake.

"He probably has a case of magic exhaustion. It's when a mage spend more mana than they have or have been focusing on a massive spell for too long. It usually knocks out a mage for a day or two because they need to replenish their mana." Ty said. I stare at him, okay he might be okay with magic than.

"How do you know this?" I asks.

"I had a friend that has..a type of magic." He said not looking at me. Had..He said had...I walk beside Seto and sit on his beside.

"Can you help us or rather help him?" I ask. Ty nods and smiles a little.

"Alright, I'll try my best. But I can't promise anything." He said. I smile a little.

"Thank you, Ty."
