Seth

A roaring noise and a sudden gust of wind disturbed me from my sleep. I sat up rubbing my eyes and winced in pain from the sun when I opened them. It took a few minutes for my eyes to adjust to the brightness. Slowly, I began to realize a few things. First, I was passed out under a bridge and a car going by had woke me up. Second, I had no idea where the hell I am. Third, I only had my pants on, all my other clothing including my boots were gone. Actually, that one wasn't surprising. Fourth, it was raining. And fifth, I was alone. What. The. Actual. Fuck. What happened? Standing up I felt around my pants and discovered the few knives I was carrying and my wallet was also gone. Strangely enough, though, I did have a phone. But, upon closer inspection, it's not even my phone. How could I have ended up with someone else's phone? I plopped back down on the ground with an exasperated sigh. Trying the phone ended up being useless as it was dead. Well, now what? I'm who the fuck knows where, and it's during the day. What a shitty ending to a good night. I frowned, what was I doing last night? A pounding headache seemed to be all I could remember past seeing that werewolf girl. Actually, that wolf seemed to be all I could remember with some clarity. Odd. Groaning I fell onto my back and closed my eyes to wait for the sun to set. The road was quiet, not one single car ever passed. Watching the sunset was never really on the top of my list of things to do, but I must admit it does have a certain beauty.

The moon had well risen into the sky before I ever made a move to leave the underpass. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't remember a single damn thing. And, it's not like I could track my own scent back to where I had been, the rain would have washed it away. Deducing that I might have come from the south since I was passed out facing north, I decided to go south. I started off with an easy lope that I could maintain for long periods of time. I didn't bother leaving the road, it seemed to be very untraveled. I had laid there for hours earlier and the only car that had passed was the one that had woke me up. It was several hours before I began to see the lights of a large city in the distance. Thankfully I recognized it as the city close to my manor. Stopping as I approached the outskirts of the city I figured it best to avoid the city altogether. I wouldn't want to risk coming across any hunters without any weapons. Crouching I gathered the strength in legs and launched myself into a full out sprint. I was able to make it back home in about 15 minutes. Running is much faster than driving, but going full out for long periods of time can be exhausting. Hence, why we usually prefer to drive. I was relieved to find Ty's Camaro parked in the drive. Suddenly exhausted I trudged my way to the mansion and found Ty and Rin arguing in the entryway. Ty glanced up sensing my approach, "Seth! You're alright! I was starting to get worried."

I stared down Rin. "What the hell is he doing in my house?"

Rin shrugged. "I don't know. I was here when I woke up."

"Okay, so I'll rephrase that. Why are you still in my house?"

Ty interrupted before Rin could answer. "Forget about him for a minute, Seth. We need to figure out what happened last night! Do you remember? And, where are your clothes?"

I sighed, "I haven't got a clue Ty. I woke up under some bridge miles from town, without my clothes." They both snorted and broke into fits of laughter. "Yeah, yeah, assholes. Laugh it up. Poor me woke up under a bridge while you two were here. In my house. Besides is it really that surprising I don't have clothes?" In hindsight, it was rather comical, but currently, I was rather pissed about it.

It took a minute before either of them could answer, but Ty recovered first. "Wait. So you're saying you don't remember either!"

"Nope, I can't remember a single thing. Come to think of it why can't you remember anything, Rin? You weren't drinking."

Rin gave me a one of those "you're a dumbass" looks. "I vaguely remember getting sucker punched by a certain someone and blacking out." Oh yeah. Whoops.

"Sorry about that. I didn't think I could actually knock you out." I said awkwardly. Apologies really aren't my thing.

He smiled. "Well, I'm not particularly accustomed to getting knocked out. You've got one hell of a right hook, Seth." Annoying as he may be, I'm glad to have Rin on my side. Being the son of the demon king he's got some serious power. All I can figure is that I caught him off guard last night.

Ty sighed. "You two can kiss and make up later. Right now, we have to find out what happened." Rin and I both glared at him.

Unfortunately, though Ty was right. "What if we call Caleb? He might know something."

Ty just shrugged. "I guess that's a good starting place." They stared at me as if they expected me to call him.

"Sadly, my phone was lost along with my clothes. Well actually, I do have a phone but it's not mine." I deadpanned.

"Seriously, you have someone else's phone? Damnit! That means I have to call him?" I smirked at the look on Ty's face. Conversations with Caleb can be…interesting. He sighed and slowly dialed Caleb.

Two hours later Ty came in the living room and collapsed on the couch. Rin and I had wondered in here not long after he called him. It's not safe to even been in the same room with someone on the phone with Caleb, usually, he'll demand to talk to everyone in the room.

"So, any news?" I asked warily.

Ty nodded numbly and replied in a very monotone voice. "Your clothes and other stuff are at the bar. Apparently, you went crazy after the second round of drinks and started stripping. I managed to get you out before you totally stripped but, you took off screaming like a maniac. I said "fuck it" went and got Rin and somehow managed to drive here without my wrecking my car. Or at least that's what I said I was doing."

I broke into to a relieved laughter. "Seriously? That's it? How boring, I was expecting worse. And, we already knew I strip when I get drunk." Yep, I'm one of those. Your friendly neighborhood drunk streaker.

Rin looked totally weirded out. "I'm really glad I missed that."

I snorted. "You don't really know somebody until you've seen them piss drunk."

"That's alright, Seth. I don't need to see you buck ass naked." I was rolling laughing at that point.

I didn't bother to go get my stuff that night, I was exhausted from spending all day out in the sun. The rest of the night was quiet as the three of us enjoyed each other's company. It was a pleasant change to spend some time with friends. If I had only known how few quiet nights I had left, I would have enjoyed it a hell of a lot more.
