Chapter 25

Mitch's POV

Jerome had just busted open some random door. It was crazy- I mean- who does that? I can answer that! My biggums does!

I heard a voice coming from another way. It was a small voice calling something down the hall.

All I could make out was that it was something like 'Whats all this rumple boots?!'

Whats a rumple boot? 

Don't know, don't care.

All I know is that some way, some how, this may lead to where Sky is. I don't know how I found the connection at the time, but it at least was something.

I pulled Jerome along behind me. He yelped in surprise as I yanked him after me. 

We almost ran into a boy- looked about my age- and he fell to the ground. "Oh!" I shouted.

Me and Jerome both took a hand of his, and pulled him onto his feet. The guy lifted up his lanturn, to reveal his thick grey glasses that covered his eyes. I stared into his brown eyes- I couldn't look away.

"No no!" He squeaked and yanked off his glasses.

My mind suddenly snapped out of it's trance once he took his glasses off.

It was strange, but I didn't ask questions. We have seen enough freaky stuff while we were here.

"Who are you!?" He asked, rubbing his glasses against his shirt- cleaning the dust off of the lenses. He looked like he was struggling because he was trying to hold the lantun at the same time. I didn't want to offer help because he might think I was going to try and hurt him.

"I'm Mitch!" I said, strongly. 

I then swiftly turned to Jerome and placed my hands on my hips.

"And this lovely bacca is Jerome!"

I saw Jerome's face turn into an adorable shade of pink. But he didn't seem to notice.

The new guy's eyes slowly blinked as he studied the two of us. He gripped his lanturn and healed it close to our faces- getting a better view.

"And why are you here?" He said, getting closer.

I felt the heat of the burning flames on my cheak. He was too close for comfort- But if I pressed him back a little bit- He might freak out and call Dawn or someone on us!

"We are here for Sky!" - "And Deadlox... He probably got lost."

Jerome laughed and lifted his axe that we have found conveniently placed in the hall earlier.

The axe shined in the lanturn light, making it look even sharper and more dangerous than it actually was.

"I'm Tyler.." He growled, taking his light source back to his side.

"I'm searching for Seto."

My head started ringing. Seto...

He.. He..

What's going on..?

I felt dizzy, sick, painfully oozing.

Everything went black.

Seto's POV

After I left stupid Mitch, I went back to Dawn to see if I could do anything.

I had told Mitch that he could not speak a word about anything that happened here- Or there would be trouble..

I knew that would scare him enough... But just in case.. If he spoke the name, he would pass out. And I'd get a notifica-

DING

"What?" I grumbled. "Already??"

A little device that I had placed in his nose (I know, not the best place to put it. As long as he is not a gold digger, I was positive it would hold out.) had sent a message to me, on my phone, saying:

'HE DONE DID IT'

I'm so creative, you don't have to remind me.

It transmitted a holographic image into the air of what was surrounding him.

Mitch was on the ground, being felt by Jerome who was holding his face saying something.

Tyler was there..? He was just as confused as ever.

What is he doing there?

He is one of my students! I've taught him magic, but all he can do at the moment is spell up a potato.

Any kind- Sweet, baked, buttered, raw- You name it.

I cursed under my breath and snapped my fingers.

I was suddenly teleported to the scene, behind Tyler.

"Boo." I whispered.

What? I can have some fun too!

Jerome and Tyler jumped, Jerome falling over into a ball.

Tyler smiled as soon as I came in contact with the light.

"Seto!" He exclaimed.

"Seto!" Jerome cheered.

"So glad you're here! Mitch suddenly fainted... We need your help!"

Jerome cried.

This will be easy.

"I'd love to..."
