So Much For Normal - A Seth Clearwater Fanfic (Chapter 17)

"Seth?" I asked looking at his shocked expression which hadn't changed since I had uttered the word 'witch'.

"You sure?" was all he could muster, blinking for the first time in minutes. I let out a small chuckle, "Yes Seth, I'm pretty sure" I told him.

He simply nodding and I could tell he was trying to process so I stayed quiet and let him do just that. After a few moments he broke the silence,

"I'm sorry" was all he said making me look at him confused, "About your mom".

I smiled at him, typical Seth, "It was a long time ago" I gave him a reassuring squeeze on his arm so he knew I was okay.

"So you used magic to save me?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I knew I had a spell for it, I just needed to get it done in time" I explained.

"So, this being a witch thing?" He said not asking a specific question so I decided I wold just tell him everything.

"My mum was a witch, goes back centuries into her side of the family but we eventually started to die out so there's only three of us left in our coven, myself included. My aunt and cousin are the other two and thankfully she was there to train me when my powers started to become stronger. She taught me everything I now know"

I took a moment knowing the next part was going to be much harder, "We were in the woods looking for plants that my mum liked to use for her potions when we were attacked. She somehow managed to place a protection spell on me before they dragged her away. She kept screaming at me to run but I was frozen to the spot until she stopped screaming. I realised quickly why she was suddenly silent as a large, grey wolf turned and started walking towards me, mouth dripping from his mouth. My legs kicked into gear then and I ran and ran, they were on my tail but the protection spell was on my side, I eventually reached my house which had another spell on it meaning they couldn't get onto the property.

It was the worst day of my life" I took a deep breath, "That was the case until...until the day I thought I was going to lose you too" I told Seth with a shaky breath and looking down at the ground.

He placed a hand on my chin and gently moved my head so I was facing him, "You will never lose me" he told me with the most serious expression I had ever seen him wear. I nodded and smiled as he wiped away a tear that had escaped my eye.

I knew I needed to tell him everything before I lost my nerve, "Please don't hate me for what I'm about to tell you" I said to him.

"I couldn't even if I wanted to" He smiled encouragingly at me.

"A few years ago I found the pack that murdered my mum. I was strong, one of the strongest. I only intended to make them suffer a bit but.. I lost control, I just saw red" I stopped mid sentence, I have never said this out loud before.

"You can tell me anything" Seth spoke softly to me.

"I killed him" the tears that had been threatening to spill over were now flowing freely down my cheeks with no sign of stopping. For years I had kept that secret to myself, pushing it down and not telling anyone.

Next thing I knew I was placed on Seth's lap as he held me close with no indication of letting me go, and I was pretty okay with that. 

This guy who I hardly knew anything about made me feel safe and also vulnerable, like I could be my whole self around him without any judgement.

"You were just a kid, you lost control and you were alone" he said in an effort to comfort me. I buried myself into his chest, "I'll never forgive myself and I never want to be that person again" I sniffled.

He pulled back so he could look at me again, "We can't control our emotions all the time and sometimes they get the better of us but we can learn from it" he told me with a kind smile. 

I didn't say anything, I didn't need to. He was always going to be there for me and I knew that now. I would never hurt him and he would never hurt me..at least we would try not to.

"Can I tell you more about us?" He asked me suddenly, in an effort to change the subject. I nodded, curious as to what he had to stay. He kept me close to him while he spoke, he was watching the waves come in and out. I watched him though, studied every inch of his face; I noticed the tiny lines at the sides of his mouth from where he spent most of the time smiling, the tiny flecks of yellow in his brown eyes and how he frowns ever so slightly when he is being serious.

"Well you know the stories about us and the Cullen's so I won't repeat that, I really want to tell you more about the whole imprinting thing" he tells me as I notice a slight hint of pink hit his cheeks.

He let out an awkward cough making me smile before he continued to speak, "Well it's kind of hard to explain. Jacob once told me that it's not like love at first sight, it's like gravity suddenly moves and she is the only thing holding you to earth. It didn't really make much sense to me" he paused briefly, "Until recently" he whispered finally looking back at me.

My breath hitched.

"It's how we find our soulmates, it happens the second we look into their eyes and in an instant she becomes the most important thing in your life no questions asked" he finished inhaling sharply.

I thought for a moment and I could see Seth start to become nervous, afraid of how I was going to respond.

"I'm not getting rid of you, am I Clearwater?" I asked grinning.

This made him laugh a real, hearty chuckle, "Not a chance, Y/L/N" he replied.

So Much For Normal - A Seth Clearwater Fanfic (Chapter 16)

It's been three days since I left the Clearwater's and Seth has texted me a couple of times but I never know what to say back. I know I need to explain and despite my ass being grounded my dad is actually allowing me to go to the Rez just this once until my punishment is over. 

Today was my first day back at school after I used up a lot of my energy helping Seth. Dad understood how powerful magic can make me very weak and thankfully he let me stay home and rest. I chatted to Nessie today as well and she was more than happy to hear I was going to see Seth after school; I think she also wanted to know about me and my abilities and knew once I told Seth then she could know too.

I pulled up outside the small brick house just like I had done a couple of days ago but today it was under very different circumstances, I'm just not sure if they are better of not to be honest. I walked up the small driveway and knocked on the door. 

The door opened gently and I came fact to face with Sue. 

"Y/N, it's so good to see you" she beamed stepping aside to let me in. She gave me a quick hug and walked over putting the kettle on.

"Tea, no sugar right?" She asked and I nodded, "Yes thanks". The house seemed quiet.

"Seth isn't here at the moment, he only started shifting again yesterday so Leah and the boys have been watching him like a hawk these past few days while he gets back to normal but I'm he'll be back soon enough" she explained handing my a large grey mug. 

I sipped it as she sat across from me, "How is he doing?" I asked nervously.

She smiled at me, "He's doing great..thanks to you".

I frowned, "I think he ended up in this mess because of me" I admitted quietly, looking down at my tea. 

"Y/N" Sue replied softly, "You did not hurt him" she told me.

I sighed, "Not physically".

Sue stood up and walked over, sitting down beside me placing a hand on my shoulder as I turned to look at her, "I don't blame you and neither does Seth..quite the opposite actually" She said giving me a knowing smile which caused me to blush slightly.

Before I could respond a loud crash came from the front door leading into the kitchen making both of us jump. I looked over and saw Seth who was practically beaming at the sight of me. My eyes shifted down to the door handle which was curled up in his right hand and the front door that was now hanging slightly off the hinges.

"Seth Clearwater, this is the third time I will have to replace that door" She scolded him.

"Sorry mom" he winces but it didn't take long for his focus to be back on me. Sue then rolled her eyes, "You two clearly have a lot of talking to do but take it outside where you can't break anything else" she said causing me to suppress a laugh.

Seth smiled and nodded his head for me to follow him outside. I did and we started to walk down the driveway.

"So, three times?" I asked him laughing, he shook his head playfully, "I forget my own strength sometimes" . We both laughed and walked to the beach.

Seth sits down on the damp sand and I am about to sit beside me but he stops me, takes off his t-shirt and places it on the ground for me to sit on. I do, "Thanks" I say quietly looking at him. I can't help but let my eyes fall down to his now bare torso. This was going to be a lot harder to talk if I keep getting distracted by his abs.

"So" He says suddenly, pulling me from my day dream.

"Right, I need to tell you a lot" I admit feeling nervous.

"Before you begin, I just want to say that despite the whole imprint thing you are not obliged to act on it. If you want to be just friend then I'm okay with that" He told me and I knew how hard that was for him, "Just please don't push me away this time" He pleaded, as a single tear rolled down his cheek. I watched his face as I could see he was struggling inside.

I placed a hand on his and smiled at him, "Seth I wasn't running away from you. I was afraid I would hurt you and I ironically ended up doing exactly that anyway" I sighed.

"How could you possibly do that?" He asked looking shocked. 

"God I have so much to tell you and no idea where to start" I said the words rushing out of my mouth in  a panic as I buried my face in my hands.

"Hey" he said in a soothing voice, placing a hand on the side of my cheek causing me to turn my head towards him and meet his eyes, "Breath Y/N" he told me smiling. The feel of his hand holding mine anchoring me back to reality.

I closed my eyes for a moment, breathing in and out focusing only on the feeling of Seth's skin. 

I opened my eyes, "When I was little my mom died" I started, Seth nodding already aware of this. "I still have no idea if she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time or if it was a set up but she was killed right in front of me and there was nothing I could do."

I paused for a moment as I felt the tears start to build up in my eyes, Seth squeezed my hand in encouragement but I could see the pained expression on his face at my confession.

"Your tribe, your family have a legacy and a history. Well, so do mine. Unfortunately it means that we often have enemies or those who want us out of the picture because we are too powerful" I took a moment dreading what I had to tell him next, "Seth" I say looking into his warm, brown eyes, "My mother was killed by a pack of wolves".

I tried to read his face but I couldn't, he was doing his best to mask the shock and I wasn't exactly sure what was going on in his head at that moment.

"I left you that day on the beach because I was so afraid that I would hurt you when you told me you were a wolf." The tears were now poring down my face but I kept going, "I was so afraid I would hurt you because I did it before. A few years ago I managed to finally track down the pack that killed my mother and I got my revenge Seth, I'm not a good person. I'm definitely not good enough for you" I tell him breaking down but he just bundles me up in a hug making me feel safe because in this dreary miserable town Seth Clearwater is a beacon of light.

We sat there in each others embrace for a few minutes, comforting each other until he finally asked me the dreaded question, "Y/N, why did the wolves come after your mother in the first place?"

"Because she was a witch" I told him after taking a deep breath and pulled back so I could look at him, so I could try to read his face when I told him my most sacred secret, "just like I am".

Golden Heart - Chapter 2

Behind the mask, Zuko's face dropped. How did she know?

"I..I don't know what you are talking about" he stuttered.

She walked around so that she was standing directly in front of him and Zuko knew he should flee, knew that he could easily get out of there but he felt frozen in spot, staring back at her as she smiled at him and for some reason he could tell it was genuine. 

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you're here" she told him, voice soft.

"What do you mean?" He asked because he couldn't think of anything else to say with the way she was looking at him.

"I mean, I won't tell anyone that the Prince of the Fire Nation is in town" she giggled slightly. Zuko's breathing hitched, and he took a deep breath to try and compose himself before removing the mask.

"How?" 

"You think Aang didn't tell us about the Blue Spirit who helped him escape Zhao?" Zuko dragged a hand over his face in hearing that and puffed out a frustrated breath before returning to look at her again and his make teenage self couldn't help but notice just how pretty she was.

Sure he briefly thought it when he first saw it, it was obvious but he's never been this up close to her before, especially not while standing still instead of shooting burst of fire at her face but she was beautiful and it caused his mouth to go dry.

Her eyes looked up briefly before returning to his face, "I like your hair like this" she commented casually as Zuko's brain decided to short circuit upon hearing this.

She bit her lip to try stop the smile forming on her face when she noticed the slight tint of pink on his cheeks at her compliment before stepping around him and continuing on her way home but before she was out of his earshot completely, "I knew there was good in you" and then Zuko watched her disappear into the night before he headed back to the apartment he shared with his uncle also, but not before stopping to look at his hair in a shop window for a split second. 

***

"I know, I know, I'm late I'm so sorry" I said as I greeted my friends and siblings.

"Do you know how worried we were?" Katara asked, as you walked over to her placing your hands on her shoulders in comfort, "I know and again I'm so sorry, I got distracted, it won't happen again" I promised and she nodded giving me a hug knowing I was forgiven.

"Well, did you at least bring us back something nice?" Sokka asked and I stopped in my tracks, "Uhmm"

He threw both his arms in the air, "Unbelievable" he muttered, "What was so distracting that you couldn't stop for two minutes to pick up some some sweets?" He asked accusingly and even though I genuinely forgot, my mind instantly went to Zuko and his pretty hair.

"I just forgot" I told him turning away before he could notice my blush.

"Why are you lying Y/N?" Tophs voice sounded from across the room making me jump, "and you're jumpy? You aren't normally jumpy" she concludes.

"Are you blushing?" Aang asks then.

"What? No, of course not" I answer way too quickly. The four of them give each other a look before everyone but Sokka breaks out into a grin.

"Whose making you blush sis?" Katara asks.

"No one" I tell her rolling my eyes but I know she doesn't believe it and it's confirmed my Toph only moments later. "Come on, just tell us, we won't judge" Aang pleased.

I huff, "Fine, there was a guy but it's no big deal and I'll never see him again okay so can we just drop it please?" 

"LIE" Toph shouts and I glare at her even though I know she can't see it. 

"Okay fine" Katara surrenders but I know by the look on her face she's only letting it go for now. I sigh with relief that they have dropped the topic and walk over to Sokka to help him with the dishes and we work in silence for no more than two minutes before he asks, "Just give me a name and I'll make sure he knows not to mess with you or your big brother".

"SOKKA" all four of us shout in unison when he brings it up again.

So Much For Normal - A Seth Clearwater FanFic (Chapter 15)

Do you ever get that feeling that someone is watching you? Yeah you know the one, when you just know in your gut someone is completly focused on you. That's the feeling I got the second I began to stir awake before I opened my eyes.

Mu muscles were sore and stiff as I began to shift from my awkward position on the uncomfortable desk chair feeling the heat of the winter sun hitting my face as it must have shone through the window.

I groggily opened my eyes, blinking back sleep as I take in my surroundings and suddenly remember where I am. Shifting my focus back to the bed in front of me only to find him already doing the same.

"Seth?" I ask in disbelief as I had expected it to takes days for him to be healed and rested enough for full consciousness.

"You stayed" was the first thing he said as he took me in with a smile, "I stayed" I told him as my eyes softened.

"How do you feel?" I asked with a worried edge to my voice.

"Kind of sore, a little tired but other than that I feel normal?" He replied almost as if he was unsure if that was how he should be feeling after his near death experience. I moved off the chair and kneeled beside him, conscious as I could feel him watching my every move intently. Placing my hand on his forehead I was surprised to find his temperature back to normal, well normal for a wolf that is. I lifted his arm slightly and awkwardly pulled down the bed cover to examine the bit mark. It was mostly healed. I let out a relieved sigh as I gently placed his arm back down.

"How does it look doc?" He asked me suddenly smirking. I rolled my eyes playfully turning to face his amused expression, "Well, it looks like you have no excuse to stay in bed any longer" I told him and with a larger than life grin and one swift movement he was up out of the bed and standing up in the room stretching his massive arms over his head.

"Phew, it feels good to be out of that bed" He stated beaming.

I coughed awkwardly, "Eh Seth" I motioned my head to his body and the fact he was wearing just a pair of boxers and that the rest of him was completely uncovered.

He suddenly went bright red and ran in the direction of his closet throwing on a pair of grey sweats in a matter of seconds while I done my best to act like I saw nothing but to be honest, the grey sweat pants weren't much better. 

"Sorry" He scratched the back of his neck shyly, a red tint still staining his cheeks as he walked back over to me and giving me and helped me stand. I stood up in front of him but he didn't let go of my hands and I felt my heartbeat quicken and the blood rush to my face as he stared down at me with a lopsided smile. 

"Y/N" I heard Sue's voice call from the hallway catching me off guard and making me jump away from Seth ever so slightly. She opened the door but whatever she was about to say to me died on her tongue as she took in her youngest child who she almost lost standing up out of bed and looking as good as new.

"You're okay, thank god you are okay" she whispered through muffled cries and she ran over to him and pulled him into a tight hug. He hugged her back tightly, "I'm okay" he reassured her and glanced at me over her shoulder mouthing 'Thank you'. I just nodded and smiled.

"What's all the fuss about?" Leah asked also making her way into the room and then noticing Seth.

"You're alive?" She asked, more emotion in her voice than he's heard in a long time. He chuckled, "Looks like it".

She walked over to him and punched him on the shoulder, "That's for almost dying on me" She told him angrily then she wrapped her arms around him, "Never scare me like that again" She said more softly this time.

"I won't", he replied. 

She pulled away and looked at me giving me a slight nod causing me to nod back, taking her gesture as a thank you. I stood to the side as the three embraced.

"I have to let Billy know you're okay, he was so worried and Sam and the pack obviously, Leah you can do that, and oh you must be starving, I'll go put something on straight away, Leah go preheat the oven. Water, you need water, can't risk you getting dehydrated and..." Seth cut off his mothers ramblings,

"Mom" he chuckled awkwardly and they looked at each other for a moment before his eyes shifted to my standing figure for a moment and then back to her.

Sue's face softened then in understanding, she placed a hand gently on his cheek, "I'll shout when the food is ready" and then left the room dragging Leah with her.

We stood there in silence for what seemed like an eternity before Seth finally broke the tension, "So..."

"I guess I have a lot of explaining to do" I answered him with a small chuckle turning to face him.

"Just a little" He replied smiling at me again. Like a magnets, we instinctively began to move towards each other, my feet having a mind of their own but just as Seth began to raise his arm and reach out for me, feet starting pounding down through the Clearwater's hallway making us both freeze and seconds later the whole pack rushed though the door.

I quickly came back to my senses and moved out of the way before Seth was surrounded, only stopping when my back hit the wall nearest the door.

"Welcome back from the dead dude"

"What did it feel like?" 

"I thought Leah was going to kill you! You know, if you weren't already dying that is".

I seized the moment when they were all distracted and grabbed my bag, slipping out of the room. I could hear Sue on the phone in another room of the house so I tiptoed down the hallway, through the kitchen and out the front door. I breathed a sigh of relief when I stood outside and took in a large gulp of the cold sea air before walking over to my jeep which was still parked across the road since last night. I hopped in, started the engine and headed home.

I felt my phone vibrate on the drive home and checked it one I had parked in front of my own house, knowing that it would be Seth:

'Why did you leave?'

I smiled noting the small 'x' at the end of his text. I know I owe him an explanation but I felt like I had already overstayed my welcome.

'Sorry, needed to get home and try explain to my parents why I've missed two days of school and didn't come home last night. I'll see you soon'

I read my reply again before following it up with another message,

'I Promise'

I put the phone in my coat pocket, grabbed my stuff and made my way up to the house locking the jeep behind me. I heard a cough ahead of me and stopped in my tracks. My dad was waiting on the porch at the open front door, arms crossed looking extremely pissed.

"I can explain" 

"Inside now" was all he said as I hung my head, walking past him into the house and made my way over to the couch. Clara ran over and hugged me, "Oh Y/N, we were so worried something had happened to you". I hugged her back feeling awful for scaring them.

I sat down on the couch facing my dad who was sat opposite me in the armchair, Clara perched on the arm of it beside him.

"F/N M/N Rivers you best start talking" He told me sternly. Uh oh, full name.

"Well.." I started at the very beginning when Nessie hopped into my car yesterday morning at school and told them everything up until I walked though the front door earlier.

"And that's what happened" I said letting out a breath from talking so much.

They were both quiet as they took it all in.

"Y/N/N, I know you were trying to do the right thing but next time come to me first okay?" He asked softening his tone a bit.

"I will, sorry dad" I said sincerely standing up and hugging them both.

"So," he pulled back to look at me with a smile I reciprocated, "grounded for two weeks should do it?" He said suddenly.

"I'm grounded?" I asked in shock as my smile dropped.

"Well lets see, you missed two days of school, stayed out all night at a boys house and practised some very serious magic" He told me with a raised eyebrow, "Should I make it three weeks?".

"Nope two seems very reasonable and plenty of time for me to learn to never let it happen again" I said quickly before he changed his mind and ran to my room yelling "I love you" back as I made my way up the stairs.

I flopped down on my bed, the events of the past 24 hours replaying over and over in my head. I looked at my phone and noticed Seth had replied while I had been pleading my case.

'I'm holding you to that. I think we both have a lot of explaining to do. 

BTW the second my mom lets me out of this house I will knock on your door so don't even try to avoid me x'

It was definitely not the time and there were obviously much more important things going on right now and we really did need to talk but I couldn't help focusing on the fact that he put an 'X' at the end of that message making me face blush furiously as I threw my head into my pillow squealing.

So Much For Normal - A Seth Clearwater FanFic (Chapter 14)

"Can we come in now?" Jake's voice called from down the hallway.

Sue looked at me and I nodded, she grinned and shouted an enthusiastic yes back in the direction of the main living area where the rest of the pack had somehow managed to squeeze themselves while they waited.

Seth's box sized bedroom suddenly became a lot more cramped as Renesmee and the boys filed in and surrounded the bed where Leah was kneeling by her brother as I backed away and stood awkwardly against the wall unsure of what to do.

Renesmee must have noticed because she walked over to me and spoke softly, "How about we get some fresh air?" She asked and I simply nodded appreciating the gesture and chance to escape the tension.

I followed her through the house and out into a typical dreary day in Forks. I glanced at my watch, I should be in history right about now. We sat on the porch swing in silence for a few moments, neither of us knowing what to say.

"I'm sorry" Ness said suddenly breaking the silence. I looked at her in surprise, confusion evident in my features, "What for?" I asked.

She sighed, "For never even given you a chance to explain and immediately going on the defence of the wolves" she admitted looking at her shoes. I had never seen her look this vulnerable before.

"I can't say I blame you, I shouldn't have run off like that," I replied, "It just seems to be what I'm good at" I whispered the last part not meeting her eye but I know she heard me; damn vampire senses.

Enduring another long beat of silence she asked "Do you think I'm a monster?"

My mouth fell open in disbelief, "Ness I could never think of you as a monster because you aren't one and neither if Seth".

She studied my face, "But?"

I sighed knowing I couldn't lie anymore , "I didn't run because I was afraid of Seth, I ran because I was afraid of myself" I said giving a half ass explanation.

She chuckled, "Seth's pretty tough you know, being a wolf and all".

I smiled at the gesture, "I know it doesn't sound like a lot of sense right now and you deserve an explanation but he deserves to hear it first if that's okay?" I asked her feeling hopeful for the first time in weeks.

"You mean like how you did all that voodoo stuff in there?" She asked nodding her head in the direction of the house causing me to let out a short laugh, "Yeah like how I did that". 

"It's okay Y/N, I'll be ready to listen when you are ready to tell me" she said wrapping her arms around my shoulder and pulling me into her side.

"Come on" she gestured to the house pulling me up gently from my position on the swing and linking our arms together and she guided me back inside the cosy house much to my uncertainty.

Relief seemed to have flooded back into the Clearwater's home and the air of tension had definitely lessened for most people. Sue was pottering about the cramped kitchen, a strong odour of coffee overtaking my senses.

"Coffee?" She asked with a smile as we walked back inside catching her attention.

Before either of us got a chance to respond a third voice rang throughout the room catching the attention of everyone.

"Seriously, you're still here?" Leah's aggressive voice boomed through the small living area. The talking went completely silent as she eyed me from the opposite side of the room.

Rubbing my elbow awkwardly, "Right, I'll just.." I nodded slightly in the direction of the door as I quickly grabbed my bag off of the counter beside me.

"Y/N, you aren't going anywhere and I apologise for my daughters rudeness" Sue said in an authoritative tone crossing her arms. 

"Mom you can't be serious?" Leah asked through gritted teeth. 

"Leah that is enough, your brother asked her to stay so that's final" Sue said giving her daughter a look only a mother has the power to make. 

"I can't believe this" she growled making her way to the front door as I managed to quickly jump out of her path before she took my shoulder with her and slammed the door in her wake. The room was quiet for a second before I turned back to Sue, "Maybe it would be better if I just went home".

"Nonsense Y/N, Seth wants you here and quite frankly, so do I" She told me in a tone that made me think she wanted my assurance that he would be okay once I was there, "Tea?" She then asked and I nodded with a smile as I shyly took a seat at the counter closest to her.

"Right guys, patrol time" Sam declared standing up which was soon followed by a series of moans.

"Come on, we slacked off enough today" He responded leading the way to the front door as the rest trailed behind him, "Jake you stay here for a while" Sam said before he left giving Jacob a knowing look.

"Sure".

I sat on the sofa feeling a bit more relaxed now that it was just Jacob, Ness and Sue here. I sat drinking my tea quietly while also trying to keep my eyes from falling shut, the exhaustion of the magic I used today finally catching up with me. I also couldn't stop myself from glancing in the direction of the hallway almost as if I was expecting Seth to come bounding down any minute now with his token grin across his face. The thought made me smile but I looked down at my mug in an attempt to hide it from the others.

"I'm going to go lie down for a bit" Sue told us walking down the hall and into another room, Jacob informing me that she hasn't slept since the accident two days ago once we heard her bedroom door click shut.

"Yeah that makes two of you" Ness told him causing him to chuckle.

"Can't argue with that" He said as he closed his eyes leaning against the back of the armchair. Soft snores started within seconds, Ness just looked at me and rolled her eyes which made me giggle.

"Go on" She then whispered, catching me off guard.

"What?"

"Y/N, your eyes are practically boring holes into Seth's door. Just go down and sit with him for a while" She told me. I didn't need much convincing and simply nodded, placing my mug down on the coffee table and tiptoed down the short hallway trying not to wake anyone with my footsteps.

The door wasn't fully shut so I pushed it open gently and walked over to the bed, never taking my eyes off the sleeping figure. Seth was out cold, so I just pulled over the chair that had been ticked into his desk and placed it beside his bed, sitting down and watching his chest rise and fall as he slept, my anxiety melting away a little more with every breath he took.

Once I felt at ease that he was in fact okay I took the opportunity to look around his bedroom properly for the first time. It was simple. A bed, a desk, a chest of drawers and some shelves which were full of books. On the desk lay a laptop, a pair of headphones and a framed picture of Seth and an older man who I presumed was his dad, Harry. As I stared at the photo I couldn't help but smile back at a young, carefree Seth.

I moved by focus back to Seth, my smile dropping slightly as I took him in. I caused this, he got hurt, almost worse, because of me, and sooner rather than later, I was going to have to explain to him why.

My mind was over run with what ifs. What if he hates me? What if he can't forgive me? What if he thinks I'm actually the real monster?

It wouldn't be anything less than I deserve I think as a few rogue tears run down by cheeks. Overcome by emotion and exhaustion, I eventually fall asleep.

Seeing Green Part 6 - Draco Malfoy X Y/N

"Give her hell from us Peeves"

Even with Dumbledore gone and Umbridge in charge of the school, nothing could stop the buzzing atmosphere that had taken the school by force thanks to the twins latest charade.

Watching Umbridge being chased out of the examinations hall and into the courtyard was nothing less than hilarious; Besides, Fred and George don't need Hogwarts, they have much bigger plans for themselves. Of course, the playfulness only lasted so long until fear took over once again thanks to Harrys latest vision.

"Y/N" Ginnys voice called through the long corridor. I stopped in my tracks and saw she was accompanied by Neville and Luna. The three of them were running towards me, "What's going on?" But Ginny only grabbed my hand and pulled me along with them towards Umbridges office.

"They're going..to the ministry to try..and save Sirius" Neville explained through pants as we bolted through the classroom and up the steps to the overly pink office.

"Were you seriously going without us?" I exclaimed as the three of us confronted them. Hermione rolled her eyes explaining that Harry was once again trying to be an idiot and do everything himself.

After a lot of back and fourth and eventually coming to an agreement that we would all in fact, go, we never got the chance. Umbridge and her squad burst through the door and grabbed us all. With everyone refrusing to talk she sent for SNape who appeared rather quickly:

"I'm afraid you used the last of the Veritaserum on Miss Chang" he told her with a blank expression; he almost looked bored? He left then and I swear Umbridge began to turn red in the face from frustration.

"Very well then, I'll just have to use the Cruciatas Curse" She smiled down at my brother.

"But that's illegal" Hermione exclaimed as I felt my throat close up in fear. I stared at my brother who never took his eyes off the vile woman in front of him.

"You can use any curse you want on me but I won't tell you anything" Umbridge watched him for a moment before smiling, "Oh I believe you" and before I had time to even register what was happening I heard the word "Crucio" but her wand was not pointed at my brother I realised as my knees hit the wooden floorboards and the pain ripped through my body.

The only thing I could hear were my own screams echoing through the small office and feel excruciating pain that seemed to take over ever cell of my body. My hands tried to reach for my head in a poor attempt to dull the pain but I couldn't lift them. The pain stopped suddenly and the last thing I saw was the blurred figures of Hermione and Harry walking out of the room with Umbridge pointing her wand at that - then everything went black.

***

My eyes flew open and I sat straight up, pain resounding in all of my bones and muscles as I did so. I squinted as a dull pain took over my head as I tried to take in my surroundings. I was in the hospital wing. 

"Oh you're awake" I heard the voice of Madam Pomfrey as she noticed my figure sitting up in the bed, "Thank goodness, how are you feeling?" She asked with a sympathetic smile.

"A bit sore" I croaked. She nodded and placed a glass of water to my lips which I sipped appreciatively. "I'll get you something for the pain" She told me before scurrying off towards her medicine cabinet. I wracked my brain to try and figure out what had happened when the main doors to the hospital wing opened and my brother walked in. He looked distraught but upon seeing me, his face softened.

He ran over to my bed and engulfed me in a hug, I could feel the tears from his eyes against my cheek as he kept muttering apologies to me over and over. I pulled back and looked at him finally remembering what had happened, "It's not your fault" I tried to reassure him but he shook his head, "I froze, I didn't know how to stop her, if it wasn't for Hermione.." He faltered and I knew what he meant.

"I'm here, I'm okay" I told him and made him look at me as I said so to make sure he knew I meant it. After a few deep breaths he began to tell me what had happened.

A sob wracked my body as he told me that Sirius was dead. After he was done we just sat there for a while, tears streaming down my face until Madam Pomfrey came and told him that I needed to rest and that he should go back to his dorm.

She gave me more medicine and this forced me into a deep but definitely not peaceful sleep. I woke with a start, I was drenched in sweat and had tears already running down my face with such force that I had to presume I was still ver much asleep when I had started to cry.

I put my hands over my mouth in an effort to try muffle my cries so I wouldn't wake anyone else up but I hadn't realised that I had a visitor who had been asleep in the chair beside me until two large arms wrapped themselves around me and if I hadn't of caught a glimpse of the silver ring with the serpent design on his hand I would never had known it was him.

It was some minutes before I eventually started to calm down and I pulled away to look at him, confusion evident on my face as to why he was here, holding me and making sure I was okay. Before I even got a chance to open my mouth he bet me to it,

"I told you to watch out for Umbridge" anger clearly etched across his features. I huffed in annoyance, "Are you really getting angry at me right now? I'm not the one who cast an illegal curse" I reminded him, crossing my arms over my chest as I started him down.

"I swear Potter, It's like you go looking for trouble" he said through gritted teeth and I almost retorted back to him just as snarkily when something dawned on me,

"Were you worried about me Draco?" I asked softly. He shot me a look of surprise and I'm not sure it's from being caught out of because I used his first name.

"Of course not" He shot back but his voice lacked certainty and I couldn't help the small smile that found itself on to my face, "I was merely pointing out that you are always in the way and who would I have to bother if you died" He told me, "Besides.." he started but before he launched in to all the made up excuses he had for being here I placed my hand on the back of his head and gently pushed him towards me, my lips quickly finding his and much to my surprise, he didn't pull away.

His cold hands soon found my face as he intensified the kiss. It was like a dream..but like all dreams it was short lived as my pain medicine wore off and a shooting pain went through my brain. I abruptly pulled away from him, both of my hands coming up to hold my head.

"I'll get Madam Pomfrey" he whispered and disappeared through the white curtain surrounding my bed. Madam Pomfrey entered only seconds later but she was alone and I soon fell back into a a deep sleep but this time there were no nightmares.

***

"We're gonna miss the train" I reminded him pushing his chest lightly in an attempt to be serious. He only smirked at me in response before pulling me into him and kissing me again.

"Draco" I giggled between kisses.

"Alright alright, I'll stop" he pulled away admitting defeat. I rolled me eyes playfully, "Well if I have to walk back to London I will force you to carry me" I told him as we both laughed lightly. He watched me for a moment before a frown appeared on his face,

"Hey, what's going on?" I asked him softly, my hand come up to gently move his face to look at me. 

"It's just going to be a long summer is all" and I nod in understanding. He leans slightly so our foreheads are touching, "We can't even write to each other" I whisper sadly.

We stay like that for a moment before I sigh, "Someone will come looking for me if I don't go" I tell him. He looks down and I pull him into a tight hug, he tenses for a moment not exactly used to the action but then relaxes before hugging back just as much.

We eventually let go and I walk towards the door of the empty class room stopping just as I reach the handle, "See you in September?" I ask looking at him over my shoulder.

He grins, "I'll be waiting" and with one last smile I poke my head out the door and walk into the corridor one I'm sure no one is around.

I leave the school in a hurry and rush towards the station where I catch up with Harry and my friends before they reach the train. I fall into step beside Ginny, "Where were you?" She asks curiously, "Had to go back for a book I left in the dorm my accident" I tell her trying my best to be nonchalant. She eyes me for a second but if she is suspicious, she doesn't show it.

We walk closer to the group when I hear Harry saying something.

"We've got one thing that Voldemort doesn't have" He starts.

"Yeah?" Ron questions.

My brother smiles at his friend, "Something worth fighting for".

Golden Heart - Chapter 1

I knew the rest of the Gaang would be worried if I didn't hurry up and get back soon. I didn't meant o wander around the lower rings of Ba Sing Se as long as I did but I got so distracted by the markets and just lost track of time.

I quickened my pace as I noticed it starting to get darker and the last thing I want is Sokka or Katara to come searching for me at this hour. I stopped suddenly hearing voices coming down a side street. Tip-toeing, I stopped at the corner and peered around to see what was going on and noticed a group of three thug looking guys trying to intimidate a slightly younger one as I listened to what they said.

"Just give us whatever coins you have and we'll leave you alone" The biggest one stated.

The other guy who looked terrified started to stammer as he replied, "But I need these to get food for my younger brother, it's all I have"

"Well I've brothers too you know" one of the other thugs replied sarcastically. I couldn't just let this go if I thought I could so something so I walked straight into the alley "Hey, leave him alone".

The three turned suddenly in surprise at my voice and then started chuckling to themselves, "Oh is the little girl here to save the day".

"Careful, you might break a nail" another laughed causing me to roll my eyes.

The big guy who was obviously the ring leader of this little group shushed the other two, "Now now men, that's no way to treat a lady" he started eyeing you up and down with a smile, "Once I'm done with him" he nodded his head in the direction of the scared boy on the ground, "how about you and I take a walk and get to know each other" he smirked.

"Or you can leave him alone, we all go our separate ways and you three don't have to get your asses handed to you by a little girl" you replied smartly with a sweet smile.

The big guy frowned, "Think you're clever don't you?" You just shrug without your smile dropping. 

"Well, lucky for you I'm not afraid to fight a girl" he grins and the three of them launch at you all at once. Little did you know you weren't alone.

***

Zuko was making his way back to his and Iroh's apartment when he noticed a girl walking ahead of him. He couldn't pin point it straight away but something about her seemed familiar. He froze when she stopped suddenly and he watched her peer arounf the corner of a side street.

He quietly moved closer noting that the rest of the street was empty of people and stopped once he was close enough. As she craned her head more to listen in to the faint voices he could make out, she moved slightly more under the street light and Zuko's eyes widened in shock.

It was Y/N.

If she was here in the city, that must mean that Avatar is in Ba Sing Se too. He watched her intently as she walked around the corner and he moved closer to get a better idea of the situation. He heard the whole conversation and saw the guys start to attack her. Zuko took a step away from the scene, not wanting to get involved.

'Besides, she may not be a bender but I've been on the receiving end of the eldest water tribe siblings attacks, she'll be fine' he thought to himself. He had only taken two steps when he hesitated, hearing the crashing of metal hitting metal and let out a sigh, before turning around and swiftly placing the blue mask over his face and following the noise of the fight.

He observed and saw Y/N taking on the three thugs at once. They used blades that were clearly stolen or purchased for cheap, unlike Zuko's but Y/N was using the twin fighting poles she always had strapped to her back. Wood against blade, Zuko didn't like those odds and decided to make himself know.

***

"Give up yet boys?" Y/N smirked as the three were beginning to look tired and sweaty, "In your defence, I wouldn't call this a fair fight anyway" she finished turning and kicking one of them into the wall.

A whimper caught her attention and she looked towards the younger boy, "Go now, straight home" she told him and he nodded. The leader using this moment to try and attack her from behind but his sword came no where close to her when a shiny broadsword got in the way and sent his flying to the side.

"What the, hey, who are you, this has nothing to do with you" the guy exclaimed in anger. The guy behind the blue mask just shrugged and used the butt of his sword into his stomach making him double over. Y/N had no time to react to the sudden appearance of the the mystery guy in the mask as the other two came at them once more. Working together, they finished the two thugs off.

Y/N found some rope and tied the three together to be found by someone in the morning. She turned to face the mystery guy and saw him leaving so she jogged to catch up.

"Hey wait!" he stopped in his tracks but didn't turn around.

"Thanks for the assist back there" this caused him to turn his head ever so slightly and nod to her in acknowledgement. Before he could start walking away again, she grinned, "Not bad swordsmanship for a firebender"

[tangerinenotions95]

Golden Heart - Introduction

"I would think twice about putting your hands on my grandmother" Y/N shouts at the boy with the ponytail making her way through the crowd.

He pushes gran gran back towards the crowd where Katara makes sure that she's okay before turning to face you. You notice his façade falter for a split second obviously not expecting someone his own age but he can tell by the way you hold yourself that you are in charge around here.

Pulling himself together just as quickly, "I know you're hiding him" he roars again while blasting fire just above the villagers head.

You roll your eyes and cross your arms, "We're not hiding anyone or anything so I suggest you turn around and get back on that boat to wherever you came from" you tell him.

Before he gets a chance to reply, your brother comes charges at the fire nation boy who easily deflects Sokka's advances. Before Sokka even has a chance to get back up from the snow, Zuko's knocked off his feet by a gust of air and you can't help the smirk on your face seeing Aang has come back to help.

Aang and Zuko go back and forth before Aang asks if he will leave our tribe alone if he agrees to go with him. The grumpy teenager agrees.

"Aang you do not have to do this" you say stepping forward to put a hand on his shoulder so he'll look at you and you hope he can see on your face that you mean it.

He refuses much to Katara's dismay.

 ***

Gran gran and I walked over to where Sokka and Katara were gearing up.

"What do you two think you are doing?" She asked catching them by surprise as they looked at her stunned and trying to look like they were completely innocent.

She smiles at them. "You'll need these" and she holds up their sleeping bags. They smile before looking in my direction, "Y/N.." Katara starts.

"Don't worry, I've already packed mine" I tell them with a grin.

"What?" Sokka looks at me confused.

"You didn't think I was going to let you two have all the fun now? Besides, gran gran can keep an eye on the village for a while". A second later both of your siblings have engulfed you in a hug.

"Okay okay, we better get going if we're to catch up to that ship."

Katara looks over at the small canoe in the water before her eyes notice something else, "Appa" and she runs over to the bison.

Sokka sighs, "You just love taking me out of my comfort zone, don't you?" You chuckle and grab your brothers arm pulling him along after your sister, "all part of the adventure little brother" you tell him with a smile before getting onto Appa's saddle.

"One year Y/N, you're only older by one year" 

[tangerinenotions95]

Always Been You - Chapter 4

You let out a long sigh as you finally changes out of your scrubs. You weren't sure if your shift today was particularly slow or was it because you were still reeling about your encounter with one Bradley Bradshaw last night; wither way you were exhausted and just wanted your bed.

You grabbed your stuff and closed the locker behind you making your way to the hospital exit waving to your roommate Nicole as you passed who had just clocked in an hour ago to start her night shift.

Finally reaching your car you began the short but what felt like long drive home. What you weren't expecting was the Kawasaki parked in your drive. You smiled knowing that bike anywhere and suddenly you were a little less tired when you look towards your house and noticed your dad was on the porch with his back to you.

You got out of your car and walked up behind him, "Are you seriously changing the bulb in my porch light?" you ask him with a knowing smile.

He turned around with a serious face, "Well maybe if the previous bulb didn't look like it hadn't been there since the place was built I wouldn't have to" he tells me with a raised eyebrow and I just roll my eyes before walking up the steps and being engulfed in a large hug. 

"I've missed you" he told me, I pulled back and looked at him, "Hey I've lived in the same place for the last four years unlike some of us" I countered causing him to chuckle.

"Okay okay, you win, I'm sorry"

I playfully nudged his arm as I walked past to unlock the door, "Don't worry about it dad" I tell him like always and I mean it. I'm reality, I'm not sure if it's because I didn't actually mind it or because I got used to it over the years being the daughter of a single parent who was also a naval aviator.

He followed me inside as I dropped my things by the couch and making my way over to the kitchen to grab us both drinks.

"Still living with Lisa?" He asks looking around to see if much has change. "Mm Hmm" I answer taking a gulp of water before passing him one, "For now anyway, she's hoping to move in with her girlfriend once she moves here permanently at the end of the summer" he nods and I lean against the kitchen island watching him suspiciously.

"So" I start causing him to look at me expectantly, "Does your visit have anything to do with why I ran into Bradley at the Hard Deck last night?" I ask him and I notice he freezes for a moment before sighing.

"I was hoping to give you a heads up before you ran into him but apparently I'm too late" he sighs, "You okay?"

I roll my eyes and smile at him, "I'm fine dad, it was years ago, left in the past" I told him but I could tell he didn't completely believe me.

"If you say so"

A beat passes before he coughs awkwardly, "So ho..how was it seeing Bradley?" he asks and I not entirely sure how to answer him so I just say "It was fine, kind of weird"

I compose myself before letting him know that "He's still pissed at you know know?" 

"Yeah I know, he made it very obvious on Monday when he saw me for the first time"

I walk over to him and give his arm a reassuring squeeze, "Maybe this is what you both need" I say hoping to convince him. He smiles at me before chucking, "Honey, we know better than anyone the grudge that boy can hold" I let a sad smile grace my face, "Yeah, I know".

We spend the next while catching up before dad leaves to head back to base having an early start and I take the chance to relax for the evening trying to clear my mind of all things Bradshaw related which is easier said than done.

Always Been You - Chapter 3

I unlocked the door and walked into the cosy open kitchen and living area aware of Bradley's presence behind me.

I kicked off my heels near the back of the couch and hung my coat up. I turned and saw him lingering just inside the door looking like he wasn't sure what to do next.

"You want anything to drink?" I asked as a way of invitation and he thankfully took the hint stepping inside the warm room and gently closing the door behind him.

He nodded moving towards the kitchen island placing his hand, palms down, against it for support. "Water would be great thanks".

I turned moving toward the fridge grabbing two bottles of water from it and passing one to him which he accepted with a smile. Uncapping the bottle and taking a few sips before letting out a breath and placing the bottle on the counter.

"Can we not do the whole awkward silence thing?" I asked him finally with a raise of my eyebrow forcing him to look at me.

He let out a heavy sigh, "Yeah this feels weird, you know me better than anyone, it shouldn't be weird"

"Well that's what happens when you don't talk for ten years" I quipped. He was about to apologise when he saw the grin on my face and knew I was only teasing.

"That is probably my biggest regret"

"What is exactly?" I probed. He placed his bottle on the counter and walked over so he was standing right in front of me, "Treating you the way I did, walking away from out friendship, from us", he was watching my face for my reaction but I was stunned, I didn't expect him to be so open.

I couldn't form a reply in my head so I did the only think I could think of, I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around his torso pulling him into a hug. I felt him tense for a split second before feeling his strong arms wrap around me also. We stood there embracing for a while before I pulled back to look up at him, a smile on my face" I told you already that I forgive you Bradshaw but I appreciate the sentiment all the same" I giggled making him chuckle, neither of us letting go just yet.

I sighed before stepping out of his embrace. "So, where does this leave us exactly?" I asked curiously. He shrugged, "Honestly, I was just happy that you didn't immediately punch me because I would have deserved it".

Rolling my eyes I lightly punched his bicep, "Better?" we laughed.

"So, not to ruin the happy reunion or anything but have you spoken to my dad yet?"

Bradley's face changed, I saw his jaw clench slightly before relaxing again, "Sort of" was all he gave her.

"Well, that's progress I suppose" Y/N muttered. Bradley sighed, "You know why I don't want to talk to him" he replied hearing what she had said.

"I'm well aware, I was left on my own door step and never contacted again remember?" Slight agitation to her voice.

"I thought you were over it?" He exclaimed, irritation in his voice. She leaned against the counter, crossing her arms over her chest, "Over it, I said I forgive you Brad, doesn't mean I got 'over it'".

They both stood in silence staring at each other before Bradley spoke up, "I should get going"

"Yeah".

She turned her face away from him slightly not wanting to have to watch him leave..again.

He sighed and walked over to the front door, opening it but pausing with one foot on either side, looking back at her with a sad face.

"I know I don't deserve it, but I don't want to go another ten years without you in my life" his voice was low and he walked out, closing the door behind him a sad expression on his face when she didn't reply.

Y/N let out the breath she didn't realise she was holding as the first tear escaped over her waterline.

So Much for Normal- A Seth Clearwater FanFic (Chapter 13)

Suddenly the dagger was knocked out of my hand and landed on the floor on the opposite side of the room.

"Seriously?" I hissed through gritted teeth as I looked at Leah who was now standing between Seth and I. 

"What kind of game are you playing Y/N" She growled at me.

"I'm trying to help, I promise" I plead glancing down at Seth growing paler by the minute. 

"I don't believe you" She spit.

"Well I do" another voice replied.

I looked over my shoulder taking in the sight of Carlisle and Edward Cullen standing in the doorway. Edward stepped forward eyes watching Leah, 

"She's telling the truth" he told her sternly. She stood up straight but didn't move from where she was standing, "Why should I trust you" She asked him.

"Because Seth trusts me" he replied sincerely. She looked at him for a moment, then at me then back to Edward before giving him a small nod and walking back to Sue and Billy. In one quick movement Edward was now beside me, my dagger in hand.

I took it from him, "Why do you trust me?" I asked him quietly. He gave me a small smile, "For now lets just say you aren't the only one with secret abilities" He told me before walking back to the small group of people gathered at the door.

I turned back, now completely focused on Seth.

I pulled out a small glass bottle full of purple liquid form my bag and pored a few drops on the dagger. Then it was time for the hard part, "I have to take away the pain so the treatment after can have a better chance of working" I said to no one in particular.

I took a deep breath and slid the dagger along the palm of Seth's hand, he didn't even wince. I then proceeded to do the same to myself, biting down on the inside of my cheek.

I placed the dagger down and held Seth's hand in my own and repeated the incantation.

"Epanum awayeth" I began to chant over and over as I felt the pain in Seth's body lower. I started to feel my own energy begin drain as blood magic always tends to be next level.

My hand began to burn but the bleeding had stop, I could feel Seth's body temperature start to rise again.

Suddenly a warm sensation of skin on my cheek made me jolt and my eyes opened. Seth was staring back at me doing his best to muster a smile, his now warmer hand on my cheek. I grabbed it and gently placed it back down by his side,

"You need to save any strength you have left," I told him sternly but a small smile played on my lips.

"Yes boss" He replied letting out a low chuckle. He lay back then trying to catch his breath. Within a matter of seconds his bed was surrounded. Sue was now kneeling on the floor beside me, stroking her sons face as tears pricked her eyes.

"My little boy" She cooed.

"Mom" Seth moaned embarrassed. Causing laughter around the room. It was only then I noticed the rest of the pack had somehow managed to squeeze into the small bedroom.

Seth winced in pain. 

"Seth?" Leah asked in a concerned voice then focusing her attention to me.

"I've only taken away some of his pain so he is strong enough for the rest" I explain to no one in particular as my eyes fall back on Seth.

"So what now?" asked Jacob, a sense of hope washing over him.

"She needs candles" Edward answers for me from where he is still standing in the frame of the door. I nodded not having the time to consider how he knew this.

"I have a few with me but I need more" I tell them.

They all looked around at each other, confusion in everyone's face whether I was being serious or not,

"Well, you heard her candles now! I hope you aren't waiting for an invitation" Renesmees voice called out over the mass of bodies and just like that they all started running out of the room and I could here drawers being opened and closed and cupboards being slammed in the other rooms.

I started to pull the few I had out of my bag and placing them in a circle on the floor. Paul and Jake came running in with more and I finished my circle. 

Pulling pots out of my bag I placed a small dish in the centre of the circle and place various amounts of spices and ingredients on the dish.

I could feel people watching my every move but I couldn't lose my focus now.

"Okay I think that's everything" I murmured to myself placing my hands on my hips double checking my work. Then with a swift wave of my hand all the candles came to life lighting up the room.

"How.." Jared began to ask but I could him off, "There will be time for questions later, okay?" I told him and he nodded. I glanced at Edward who was smirking, not finding any of this surprising at all.

"Okay, I need this room to be calm and silent" I told them and it only took one look from Billy to make all of them except for Leah and Jacob to leave.

Nessie was the last to leave and just before she did she looked at me, "I trust you" She explained and walked out. 

I didn't realise how much I needed to hear that until I did.

I sat at the circle, feeling the remainder of the eyes watching me with intent as I muttered a variety of incantations. A puff of smoke formed in the middle and there was a blue liquid left on the dish when I was done.

I turned around to Seth, "You need to drink this" I explained to him. He nodded as I moved closer to his face, "You will probably sleep for a couple of days" I finished.

I was about to place the dish to his lips but his hand grabbed me to stop me with as much strength he could muster up,

"Promise me you'll be here when I wake up" He asked in a husky voice.

"Seth.." I started but he cut me off, "Please Amalia" He asked as his eyes pierced mine. I sighed, how could I say no. 

"Promise" 

He then loosened his grip but didn't let go fully and I let the liquid slide down his throat. He kept his eyes fixated on my face the whole time until his eye lids started to fall slowly and after only a minute light snores came from him.

I stood up and walked over to Sue, "He'll be out for a while but It seems to be working" I told her and she hugged me tight as I felt her tears soak through my jumper.

"Thank you" was all she said.
