'Can you stop looking at me like that?' I asked Seth. It was really irritating, you could feel him staring. 'I was just looking if you weren't bleeding.' he said to me. 'Well that's why you have bandages, they stop the bleeding.' I said to him and I rolled my eyes.' Can you stop rolling with your eyes? It's really irritating.' Seth said with a big sigh. ' why does it irritates you?' I asked and he said:' because you're doing it every time I say something.'' Well, it's because you are saying stupid things, duhh.' And I rolled my eyes again just to irritate him more. ' you're really annoying.' he said to me. ' So? Ignore me then.' I said and he said: 'fine."
After the fight with the robbers, Seth took care of the wound in my neck and we gathered all the robbers and bound them together. They had to walk behind the car with the statute and the other stuff. But because of the loss of the two servants Seth and I had to take their places. Luckily for me Seth was going to carry the fat merchant and I had to pull the car with the stuff and the statute. That was even less heavier than the fat merchant. When we came in Delion city and after I got my reward, Seth and I left the city immediately.
So the thing I wanted to ask Seth the whole time was: ' Why are you following me?' he looked up and said: 'I thought you was going to ignore me?' ' That's not answering the question, why are you following me?' I repeated. ' Well it's easy to answer that, I'm not following you, I'm coming with you.' I stopped and turned around. He said that like it was the most obvious thing in the world. 'I don't want you to come with me.' I said to him and I was getting angry. ' I know but, sorry, you've got to live with it because I'm not goin' back.' He said to me with a calm tone.' Hell yes you are goin' back.' I said with a vibrating voice. This is not what I had in mind. ' Well that's a shame because I. am. Not. Going. Back.' He said. I snapped. I was tired and now I had this guy stalking me on my own private mission and he looked really like Gildartz who made a promise to keep an eye on my mother and little brother who I had hurt and I was really feeling guilty again. So I sent a roar of the fire dragon to him. I missed and set a lot of trees and bushes on fire. ' Wow, calm down Layla. Don't get a tantrum or something now. I only want to help you.' He said with is hand above his head. ' I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP SO GO AWAY!' I screamed and sent another roar of the fire dragon to him. And again and again. They had all missed. ' Layla, calm down! You set the whole forest on fire!' said Seth to me and I looked around. It was true. All the trees around us were set on fire. It reminded me of the day that I had set half of the guild on fire because I had a fight with my dad. It was the only fight with my dad I ever had and it was about something stupid like a game. I had lost and said to him that he had cheated. Of course he hadn't. I put out the fire and ran away. I heard Seth calling my name but I ignored him and I ran and ran further away from him, from everything. When I couldn't go on anymore I sat down and panted. I didn't know where I was. I was lost. Then the tears came. I cried because I had gone mad for nothing again, I cried because I felt so guilty against my family that it hurts and I cried because I missed my dad so much. I was pathetic and I hated that. I sniffed and said to myself: don't be so pathetic you stupid girl. You're weak if you don't get stronger you will never find dad and he will be ashamed of you because you're so weak.' 'Don't say that to yourself, it will only make you feel worse.' I looked around and saw Seth, standing behind a tree. I looked away, I didn't want him to see me like this.' Go away, I want to be alone.' I sniffed to him but he came to sit next to me putting an arm around my shoulder.' You shouldn't be alone right now. And you're not pathetic or weak or stupid or anything. I think you're a very strong, proud and bright girl and your dad should be proud on you.' He said to me and it calmed me down a little bit.' Really?' I asked to him and he replied: ' Really. Well it's getting dark so I'm goin' to make some dinner for us.' We gathered some wood and I set them on fire. Seth said to me that I just had to sit by the little camp fire and that he would cook tonight. It was really yummy. Maybe I would let Seth coming with me, only for is cooking skills. After dinner I was so tired I fell immediately asleep with a little smile on my face. For the first time I felt something warm inside me and it felt good. I never wanted that feeling to go away. And with that I drifted away.
