Seto's POV

I can't believe it.
I thought we were gonna kiss and my Brice was back.
I'm so stupid.

I snap my eyes open and look around me. Darkness. Complete and utter darkness. A low chuckle echos around the room making me tense up. "You thought you escaped. Didn't you, little boy?" A dark voice says from within the darkness. "Who are you?" My voice comes out almost like a whisper. A man steps out of the shadows, a deep laugh resonating from his throat. "Oh you don't remember me? I am so heartbroken, because I remember you so vividly." Then, there it was. The one memory that I wanted to forget so badly, but couldn't.

Flashback

Streamers littered the floor. A stack of neatly, wrapped presents sat in the corner of the room under a large sign saying 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETO'. A cake sits atop a table with a young boy sitting behind it with a large smile on his face. A young woman stood beside the boy with a candle the shape of a '6'. She places the candle atop of the small, two layered cake. A young male walks into the room and takes a seat beside the young boy. The boys jumping in his seat when he looks up at his mother with glee filled eyes. "Can I blow out the candle now, mama?" The up no woman smiles down at the boy and kisses him atop the head. "No, Seto. We have to sing you the birthday song first, then you can blow out the candles." Seto nods excitedly and watches as his mother lights the candle with a small spell under her breath. His parents looks at each other and begin. "HA-".
An explosion. A scream. That's what stopped his parents from beginning the song. Seto's father looks at his mother then towards Seto. Seto's mother picks him up and quickly runs into the library while Seto's father peaks outside the near by window. "Mama what's wrong?" Seto questions his mother as she sits him on the ground in the large library. Seto's mother had small tears running down her rosy cheeks. She knew this was the last one she'd see her baby boy. Seto's mother smiled at Seto to try to keep the boy calm. "Everything's alright honey, your daddy's gonna take care of it. Ok?" Seto nodded and watched his mother walk towards a bookcase in the far side of the wall. She pulls out a book and opens it. She pulls out a long, white string of white cloth. She closes the book and puts it back then walks to Seto with the cloth in hand. She bends down and holds the cloth to Seto. "Now keep this with you, ok? It'll keep you safe." She ties it around his hair tightly, a few strands falling aimless on the cloth. Yelling could be heard behind the door. Seto mother turns and looks at the door with sadness in her eyes. She turns back to Seto and hugs him tightly to her. "I love you, my baby boy." She pulls away and kisses him on the top of the head before the door slams open.
A male stand there, white hair littered slightly with ashes and blood. A black cape hugs his shoulders and blood litters his clothing. Dark eyes stare at him making a shiver sliver up Seto's spine. Seto's mother steps in front of Seto with a from decorating her features. A chuckles escapes the mans throat when he sees the woman's protective stance. "Now Anna, you didn't think that this would stop me. Did you?" Seto's mother, Anna, growls lowly at the man and gets into a fighting stance. "Leave this place and never return, Cerberus." A laugh escapes Cerberus' throat and he starts to walk slowly towards the two. Anna looks around then back at Cerberus. "Where's John." Cerberus walks slowly over to the two then stop a few steps away, a large smirk spread across his face. "Oh, we played a little.... game." A few seconds later a scream was heard. "JOHN!" Anna yelled but kept her eyes on Cerberus. "Oh don't worry, he be dead let's say... two minutes?" Anna covered her mouth with her hand as a single tear escaped. "No..." "Ahh... How fun he was. The most fun I've had since... Oh we don't need to talk of age now do we." Cerberus started to walk to Anna slowly but she put a hand up, a purple glow glowing around her hand. Her eyes in slits and her teeth clenched. "You will be sorry you ever entered this dimension!" Anna yelled furiously to Cerberus. Cerberus' eyes widened for a split second in surprise before he puts the smirk back on his face. "Oh Anna." His hands began to flow a dark red and his smirk grew. "Now where would the fun be in that?" He snapped his fingers and Anna feel to the ground, dead. Seto's eyes widen and he drops to his knees. "Mama? MAMA!" Seto lightly shakes his mothers shoulder with his small hands. Cerberus starts towards the boy, his hands still glowing a dark red. Crimson blood starts to slowly flow from Annas lips. Seto looks up towards the man moving slowly to him. "You killed her... YOU KILLED MY MAMA!" Purple started to surround Seto, creating a large globe around the boy. Cerberus' eyes widened before he took a step back. He threw his hand up then threw a ball of red fire towards Seto. The flame bounces off uselessly and into a wall. Cerberus threw magics after magic at the globe surrounding the boy, but he could never if create a scratch. "WHY! WHY DID YOU KILL HER!" Seto cries, making the globe grow larger before making a large explosion, throwing Cerberus back into a wall.

Later that night the mages came into the house searching for any survivors. They found one. The young boy was laying on the ground, unconscious beside his dead mothers body. The father was found in the living room, dead from thorns growing in his stomach. Cerberus was gone. The kid was alone, an orphan with no other family to go to.

FLASHBACK OVER

Seto starred up at the man before him. His mouth agape and his eyes wide. "No...." Seto's voice came out in a whisper, his voice holding s slight trimmer. "Oh yes Seto. Thirteen years I have been looking for you. Then I finally find you...-"

(A/N: BTW SETO GOES TO A SMALL COLLAGE SINCE HE'S 19 AND LIVES WITH BRICE)

He walks away from where I'm sitting and starts to walk towards a stack of shelves. "-But your not alone. Your with a young boy. A young boy who has no idea what he's doing. A young boy that doesn't know that he's about to marry and bind his soul with a sorcerer like yourself." He turns around and starts to walk towards me, a large book in his hand. "He never knew what he was getting into when he met you. Now look at where he is!" I look down at my lap, tears welding in my eyes when I realize that he's right. If I wouldn't have kept meeting Brice and fallen in love, then he wouldn't be in this situation. He would be in college, learning new ways to paint and explore the world. He would be the top player in football and be top of the class in Art. He would have a normal life.
I stare down at my lap as he moves closer to me. "Aww, is the lil' sorcerer sad? Well, you know there's a way for you can get through this.-" He came behind me and put his hands on my shoulders. Looking off into space as if he's ensign ing the world he's trying to create. "-You wouldn't have to deal with emotions ever again, you wouldn't have to deal with the memories haunting you or knowing the darkness is growing inside. No more pain or suffering. Just let the darkness win." I look down at my hand and see the glimpse of the white cloth still wrapped firmly around my head. "No..." I felt his hands leave my shoulders, then a pain in my back as the chair fell to the floor, my back and the back of the chair hitting the floor with a loud 'BANG'. I hiss at the pain slightly and look up at Cerberus. He looks at me with anger and then smirks. That same smirk from so long ago. "Fine then, you wanna do this the hard way. Then we can do it the hard way." I don't hesitate to glare back at him as his hands glow. I'm not letting the darkness overtake me. My parents would never want that of me. Brice would never want that of me. They'd be ashamed if I do that, so I fight. I'll fight with everything I have. I have nothing more to live for. My friends can carry on in life as I fade away from their minds. Only a sliver of their memories that they'd remember of me. My Brice is gone, so I got nothing.

A/N

I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING IN LIKE FOREVER XD! I've just been so busy with school and everything that I completely forgot about my stories. I was seriously just standing in my kitchen making myself a sandwich when I started to sing Because of you- Kelly Clarkson and was  like "SHIT" and started typing away! I have his and two other stories that I need to finish like NOW I've been writing them forever and their not even that long... In all honesty I'd probably just stop writing these stories in general cause I'm not sure if I'm that good at them because I don't watch a lot of the people k wrote about anymore. Some I do still watch like Adam and Mitch and whoever else their playing with. I still love the youtubers though so I'm super defensive of almost all youtuber out there (especially the gay/lesbian ones because I am very defensive of when people make fun of that/ hate on it). But anyways I'm sorry if you think this chapter was a little- how should I put this- bad, but I try. So if you try then somethings from it right. Alright well bye guys! Hope y'all enjoyed and are enjoying this book!
