Chapter 6
{Seto's Pov}
"I love you, Seto."
"No, no, no! Brice you can't leave me, not right now, not ever."
"L-love you-"
"Brice? BRICE!"
"Brice!" I shot up in bed with sweat dripping down my brow. I run my hand through my hair and squeeze my eyes shut as I feel tears start to build up. My door opens and a head pokes in. "Seto?" I look up and see Ty standing at the door rubbing his eyes. "Are you ok?" Ty asks as he comes into the room and sits beside me. I shake my head and put my hands over my eyes. "No. I'm not and I'll never be. I can feel the darkness, Ty. It won't be long before I'm going to be gone or...." Ty hugs me close to him and shakes his head. "No, It won't come down to that. We'll find another way." I bury my head in his shoulder and sigh sadly. Brice would always hold me like this when I was sad. He'd kiss the top of my head and tell me everything would be alright. I pull away and wipe my eyes of the few tears that fell. "Thanks, Ty." Ty smiles and puts his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it lightly in reassurance. "We will find a way." I nod and look out the window at the rising sun.
I look at my clock and see it's 4:35 am. I rub my eyes again and run a hand through the mess of brown. "Well, I'm not going back to sleep so I'll be in the library or something." I say with a shrug, standing up. Ty looks at me worriedly then gently grabs my wrist, pulling me back on the bed. "It's four in the morning, Seto. You really need to rest or you may fall asleep in class, again." I shake my head and look away from Ty. "I'll be fine. I went to sleep earlier than y'all so I should be fine until after school anyways." Ty sighs and slowly lets go on my wrist.
I stand up and start to head towards the door. I turn my head slowly to the side to look at Ty. "You may wanna head back to bed. Adam's gonna freak if he doesn't see you beside him." Ty sighs but nod. He stands up and walks behind me out the door. "You sure you don't want me to come with you? I could help." Ty asks, turning to me. I shake my head and look down the hall. "It's fine. You go back to bed. I'll see you in the morning." He nods then walks down the hall to his and Adams room. He stops at the door and turns back to me. He sighs then opens the door before walking in. I shake my head then start walking down the hall towards the library. He keeps trying, but he doesn't understand the only thing that could ever save me is gone. I stuff my hands in my pockets and shiver when I feel a pair of eyes starring at me.
I stop in my tracks and looks around. All the doors are closed and no one is in the hall. I look around once more before starting to head towards the library. I stop at the doors before pushing them open. I walk over to the shelf and gently glide my index finger over the names. I stop at one that has the title 'DARK MAGIC' written across the side. I pull it out and walk towards the desk. I sit down and open it. "There must be a reason you have came back. I will find out how you died and why you have come back with a different name." I mumble as I flip through the pages. Few of the names leave my lips as my eyes scan each title and few paragraphs. "Zombification....... Vampire Turning....... Werewolf Bite and, or Scratch..... Is there even-" I cut myself off and stare at the paragraph in front of me. I mumble out a few of the sentences while scanning the page. "Sorcerers/ Sorceresses turning people into minions or hires. Dark Magic mages arrested and sent to Fae Court on trial. Hung or burned for their evil deeds of turning human kind." A list of names and their deeds is shown.
Something is telling me I need to look at these names. I skim over the names then one makes me freeze. "Cerberus Moon" Shivers run up and down my spine. This name has been a name no one has spoken since that day. I wasn't even born yet and don't even know the whole story. I turn to the page that has his name written in black inc.
Cerberus Moon
Born: Unknown
Parents: Unknown

The child will have the power to defeat his father, but also has enough power to turn the entire world to do their every command. The child could be a human or supernatural.
I close my eyes and slowly take a breath in. I gently close the book and open my eyes. I stand up and walk back over to the shelf, putting the book back in its place. I look at the grandfather clock on the wall and read 6:47. I sigh and put my head in my hands. I've been in hear for longer than two hours. I run my hand through my hair and walk towards the doors. I walk out and head towards my room. I go to my dresser and pull out a purple sweater and grey jeans with underwear and socks. I go into my bathroom and close the door. I lean against the door for a minute then, with a deep breath, I push myself off the door and sit my clothes on the sink. I yank the white cloth off from around my head then lay it on the sink counter. I pull off my socks and my shirt then throw them in the basket. I turn the shower on then turn to the sink.
I lean against the side of the sink and look up in the mirror. My eyes are so close to becoming black. The darkness is so close to breaking through but I'm holding it back. "I don't know how long I can last." I mumble. I push off the sink and pull down my pants and underwear. I throw them into the basket and step into the shower. I sigh in relief when the warm water runs down my back, soothing my muscles. I rub my hands through my soaked hair and breath in a deep breath. "I can get through this." I tell myself as I start to wash my body.
I step out of the shower and dry myself off with a towel. I put my clothes on then dry my hair. I brush my teeth and try my best not to look in the mirror in front of me. I grab the white cloth then sit it on top of my head to keep my hair down and out of my eyes, which doesn't work. I glance at myself in the mirror before shaking my head and walking out. I stare down at the ground as I walk over to my shoes that lay beside my bed. I pull them on then walk out the door. I walk down the stairs and into the living room where Mitch and Ty are eating breakfast while Adam is at the stove cooking. Ty looks up at me and smiles. I smile lightly back at him and look towards the clock on the microwave. 7:20. I look out the window as the wind lightly blew. "I'm going to walk to school today. I'll see y'all there." I mumble making everyone look at me. "Are you sure? It's like 70 degrees out." Adam says looking at me skeptically. I nod and walk towards the door. "At least take a jacket." I hear Ty say from the kitchen. "I have a sweater." I say as Ty looks at me with the 'just-do-it' look.
I shake my head at him then walk back up the stairs. I grab a black jacket and hold it in my hands gently. The jacket was slightly worn and the yellow streaks on the shoulders looks more dull then the bright gold they used to be. The golden ingot on the back has some of the stitching out. I sigh and hold it close to my chest.
This was Brice's jacket.
