My Immortal

The Truth And Fighting Each Other

 Seth's heart beat fast and so loud in his chest he was sure that the others would be able to hear it. Seconds later, the others rushed into the clearing, he knew he not only had to be careful about what he said to them, but also what he thought around them too knowing Keeper could read them. As they rushed to him and knelt beside them he quickly went into character, he needed to believe it really happened to make them believe it.

 "What the hell happened?" Roman asked scared, as he checked to make sure Dean was breathing and that's when he realized he was bleeding and began to panic. "He's...he's bleeding!"

 "We...we were talking about our fight and...and he began walking away, but he turned back to look at me and he tripped and fell hitting his head off the rock." Seth answered faking his panic.

 "Wait, he tripped?" Keeper questioned suspiciously. "On what? There isn't anything around that would have tripped him. It doesn't make any sense."

 "Are you calling him a liar?" Zander demanded angrily.

 "What is that ridiculous saying you mortals use in situations like this?" Keeper said, as he thought for a moment. "Oh yes, I believe it goes something like this, if the shoe fits wear it!" He said smiling smugly, the others looked at each other confused, before they all looked back at Keeper.

 "What?" Paige asked confused, as Zander gently moved Dean off of the rock and onto his back on the ground and began to examine his injury.

 "I guess I got it wrong, no matter all of your mortal sayings make no sense to me. What I'm saying though, is Dean tripping just doesn't make any sense. He's a Vamp, the Chosen One, he has the reflexes of a damn cat, there's no way he would have just tripped and fallen."

 "You son-of-a-bitch!" Roman said angrily, as he looked at him. "Seth isn't a damn liar, if he says that's what happened, then dammit that's what happened! Now, we're going to take Dean home and you're going to go back to Vassago and once Dean's able to train again he'll get a hold of you. Get the hell out of here!" He said angrily, as he took off his shirt and held it tightly to Dean's head to stop the bleeding.

 Seth stayed quiet, his eyes never leaving Dean, hearing his family defend him made like that made his guilt worse; at least if Keeper picked up on it he could make it seem that he felt guilty for causing Dean's accident. It took every ounce of willpower he had to not confess everything. As soon as Keeper left, Zander gently tied Roman's shirt around Dean's head, before he picked him up. He then led the way back to the monastery, when they arrived they didn't want to scare Rose, so Paige went inside first and sent her to her room. They then went inside and took him to the living room; Zander laid him on the couch. Jameson joined them and worried asked what happened. Zander took off the shirt and examined Dean's wound again; which had already stopped bleeding. He then stood up and turned to Seth, their eyes met briefly and without Zander saying anything, Seth knew that he knew the truth and he hung his head sadly.

 "Seth, he didn't really trip, did he?" Zander asked gently.

 "What?" Everyone said together shocked, as they looked at Seth.

 "Of course he did, right, Seth?" Roman asked. "Seth?"

 "No." Seth answered quietly.

 "What really happened then?" Paige asked.

 "I...I did that to him." Seth replied sadly, still not looking at them.
