SUMMARY: Seph never did get rescued by Linda Downey when he sent his letter to the firm. No one came for him that night. Gregory Leicester waited to see what would happen and let it play out when he read it. He wanted a reason to get Seph in his hands, and a suicide attempt could do just that for him. But will help come in time for Seph, before he submits to his Headmaster? Jason has escaped and is on the search for the Dragon, trying to get help for his young friend trapped within enemy's lines. Hopefully help will come soon for young Joseph McCauley.

AUTHORS NOTES: This idea has been floating around my head for some time now. Ever since I first read the Wizard Heir. unlike some who started at the beginning with the Warrior Heir I start with the Wizard Heir, not knowing it was the second book of the series until I finished it. I always disagreed with the way Linda went about Seph. How she had let him endure so much because of her nephew Jack. She let her nephew blind her form her obligations towards her own son. I just couldn't agree with that, a mother should never let others come in the way of the care of ones own child. She tells him that she had to keep him safe by sending away, that I can understand. But the fact that she lets him endure torture from the hands at another wizard was just something I couldn't get over. She should have known something was wrong when she wasn't getting notes from seph or calls to the firm. How one could e so blind I will never know. Many might disagree with me but this is just how I see it. If you can PM me or give a review on this chapter regarding your thoughts.

DISCLAIMER: None of the character or the world is mine. All of it belongs to Cinda William Chima.

THE STORY MIGHT CONTAIN SCENES LATER ON LEANING TOWARDS ABUSE AND MAYBE MOLESTATION. (Warren Barder always struck me as a twisted man.) FAIR WARNING NOW. NOT MUCH HAPPENS IN THIS CHAPTER BUT THE STORY WILL PICK UP AS IT GOES ALONG. EXCUSE MISTAKES IN GRAMMAR OR SPELLING IF ANY ARE FOUND. HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

Chapter 1

Seph lay in his bed, trying his best to stay awake. It had been a while since he had sent his email to Mr. Houghton or anyone from Sloane's, since Jason had left it was becoming unbearable for him to stay there. He thought he would have some form of contact but none had come as of yet. It was going on two days, his third would be tomorrow. He had all intentions on keeping true to his word, he planned to kill himself if he did not receive a reply soon enough. He would wait until the night and if nothing came he would try to escape or at least drown himself in the lake that sat by the school. He could try and make it look like an accident, after all others knew he held a deep hatred for water.

He crawled out of bed, facing that he wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight. He sat at his desk; turning on his desk lamp and grabbing pieces of paper and a pen. He began to write a suicide note. If no one came for him then he would escape like he had thought before and wouldn't bother him because they would think he was dead.

To whom it may concern (or who ever found this note.):

As you have noticed, I'm no longer residing in this institution or possibly this world. I would like you to know that the fault has to be given to a variety of people. I have tried to kill myself because of the fact that this placement has been nothing short of a disaster. I have been tortured for many months now, both mentally and emotionally. The one friend I had made in this wretched place was killed because of my own foolishness. For that I blame myself the most. But like I said before the blame falls on more than one person. Though I blame myself for the cause of his death I was not the one who pulled the trigger; just simply loaded the gun. The ones who actually killed a boy, far before his time, falls to the Headmaster of this institution; Gregory Leicester and his Alumni.

My life has not been an easy one but has been far from hard. I wish for those who cared about me; though there are not many or none at all; that this is my decision to make and I have made it. The Headmaster has sought out to alienate me from the other students here to draw me closer to him, but I have refused his invitation many times now and have paid a heavy price for it. He has been submitting me to torture, more mentally than anything and I have not the strength to fight him anymore.

I now finish this letter with the closing thought that the person who is supposed to be my guardian has not made an appearance after my letter or at least made an effort to make contact with me all year to check on me. If one had made an effort than this note and action would not have needed to take place. But like I had stated in the opening of this note the blame falls on more than one individual.

Yours truly:

Joseph McCauley

Seph finished his note and placed it inside of his desk and moved over to his bed again. He thought of the time he had spent with Jason, learning about his magic and how to control it. Jason had been his first teacher to ask for nothing other than his friendship. He wanted so badly to go with him when he left. He hoped that he wouldn't be to taken aback at his death of disappearance. He hated to think of what had happened to his teacher if he was caught before he was able to escape but he had faith in him that he was smart enough to evade the Alumni and escape this prison.

He lay down on his bed once again and looked over to his clock. 4:32AM. It was going to be a long day.

AUTHORS NOTE: THERE YOU HAVE IT, A VERY SHORT AND SIMPLE CHAPTER. AS THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE READ THE STORY I NEVER THOUGHT HE WAS REALLY WILLING TO KILL HIMSELF, BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW. I HOPE YOU LIKED IT AND WANT MORE IN THE FUTURE. CAUSE I DO WANT TO WRITE MORE FOR THIS AND WITH THE NEW BOOK THE ENCHANTER HEIR COMING OUT SOME TIME SOON I REALLY WANTED TO GET THIS OUT THERE. HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY CHATTER, HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON AGAIN. FIGHTING!
