Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy XIII. It belongs to Square Enix. I only own the OCs in here and the plotline (If this plotline is similar to other fanfictions, I apologize. I probably have not read them. But that's not my fault.)

Rating: M for Physical Torture, Mental Abuse, Rape, Blood and Gore, Psychological Trauma. Includes yuri and yaio (If you don't like that then don't read.)

Pairings: Flight, HopexVanille, and SnowxSerah

Summary: While on a hunt Fang, Hope, and Serah are captured by an organization that wants to kill all the former l'Cie.

A/N: I read a three-step guide for writing torture, and this immediately popped into my mind. I wanted to try out what I had read and I had several ideas, but none came on as strongly as this one. It's different from my romantic Flight fanfictions I've written so far.

Hope you guys enjoy. If you can enjoy a torture fic that is. I know that I do. :)

Serah was woken up by someone shaking her shoulder. "Mmm… Snow?" She asked, groggily. Immediately a hand clamped down on her mouth. Her eyes flew open in panic, and she tried to move but found her limbs to be restrained by somebody who was definitely stronger then her. It took her a moment but finally she was able to focus on the face of her captor.

Fang.

Serah immediately relaxed at the familiar face. Fang paused before removing her hand from the younger Farron's mouth.

"You drool when you sleep." Was all she said. Serah blushed. "Anyways, you coming?" The Pulsian whispered. Serah's eyebrows knit together in confusion, then realization hit her. She and Hope and asked Fang to take them hunting with her so they could get stronger. And who better to ask to help them get stronger then Fang? She was a Pulsian with Godly strength and belonged to probably the most warrior like, hunter like clan in all of Eternity: The Yun. Fang had agreed after a few hours of begging, and told them she would wake them up the next morning when she was going to go hunting.

Suddenly Serah got a sinking feeling in her stomach. Her eyes trailed to her alarm clock, then widened at the sight of it.

"Fang! It's-" Fang's hand immediately dropped onto Serah's mouth again, and she shook her head as if telling Serah to be quiet. Serah nodded, and Fang removed her hand. "it's 5:30 am!" Serah hissed. Fang nodded, then walked over to Serah's closet, opened it, and began rifling through the clothes. "Hey!" Serah whispered, springing out of her bed, but being careful not to wake Snow, who chose this moment to scratch his butt in his sleep. Fang looked at Serah, and raised one eyebrow. The young girl looked down and blushed upon realizing she was naked. If it was any other girl – Vanille, for instance – then she wouldn't have been so embarrassed, but this was Fang who was going out with her sister. Not only was Fang interested in women – Lightning in particular – but Serah looked a lot like her sister, something that could rouse Fang's primal nature upon seeing her naked. Fang merely threw some folded clothes at Serah then jerked her head at the door, wordlessly saying she would be outside the room. Serah nodded and Fang did just that; she left the room.

Once Fang was gone Serah rubbed her eyes and unfolded her clothes. It was obvious that Fang had taken some of Lightning's clothes, and simply grabbed Serah's undergarments. There was a pair of brown cargo pants, and a brown zipped-up turtleneck with no sleeves. Added to this was one of Lightning's black jackets, and a gun holster. Shrugging, Serah pulled on her undergarments, then Lightning's pants and shirt. They were slightly big, but Serah rolled up the legs of the pants and discovered that they weren't as bad as she'd first thought. She buckled the belt around her waist and clipped the holster on it, then walked out of her room and into the hallway.

"Seems kinda bland color wise." Serah commented as Fang looked over her shoulder at Serah. Now that they weren't in immediate danger of waking up Snow, Fang didn't seem to care about being quiet so much. She smirked at the sight of the younger Farron trying to look at herself.

"Yeah, well you can't wear something sexy until you get better. I've had years of practice." Fang joked, before leading Serah downstairs. "Now let's go get Hope." She pointed at the pantry. "I'll get him, you get some food together. Not much, just something for a small breakfast and lunch. We'll be back in time for dinner." She said. Serah blinked.

"Will we really be gone for the whole day?" She asked. Fang nodded.

"Absolutely. Remember the time I was gone for three days?"

Serah giggled. "Lightning almost went out to find you four times in two days." She said. Then her smiled turned into a frown. "You were a real mess when you came back." Fang waved it off.

"I've had worse. MUCH worse." She said, shrugging. "Well, I'll go get the little guy. Be back in… half an hour at most." Fang said, grabbing her lance and walking out of the house. Serah blinked, then started preparing the food as Fang had told her to get. She grabbed a pack of behemoth jerky, three peaches, and a small container of cheese curd. For the breakfast, Serah simply grabbed three bagels and a container of salmon cream cheese. She put the cheese and cream cheese in a cooler bag* then put the bag on a table and sat down. It wasn't long before she drifted off to sleep.

==Later==

Serah was, once again, roused from her sleep by a very amused-looking Fang and a sleepy-looking Hope. "Time t' go?" She asked groggily rubbing her eyes.

"Yep. Let's go. Got the food?" Fang asked. Serah nodded and stood up. "Then let's go." Fang walked out of the door and Serah took a moment to greet Hope.

"Hey, Hope." She said, smiling meekly. Hope waved and yawned. 'He's probably too tired to talk right now.' Serah thought, picking up the cooler back and the cloth bag she had for the jerky, peaches, and bagels. Her eyes drifted to Hope. He was wearing his usual clothes. He had been fighting for so long, it was obvious that he didn't have to wear combat clothes like Serah did.

At that moment, Fang poked her head in. "Coming?" She asked. Serah and Hope nodded in unison and walked out of the house. Outside Fang pointed down the street. "We'll head to the eastern side of town. Then we'll go to the Steppe." She said. Serah blinked in confusion.

"We're walking?"

Fang looked down at Serah and grinned. "Yep!" She said, before turning around and walking down the street with long strides. Serah blinked again before she and Hope jogged to catch up with the older woman.

==1 Hour Later==

The three hunters stood at the edge of the Archyle Steppe, and Serah had no idea how they'd gotten there so fast. Pushing that aside, she looked down at the valley. Behemoths, and Gorgonospids tussled while Flan lazily oozed about. The Amphisbaena weren't in the sky, and the Adamantoise were obviously not awake.

"All right, we'll be hunting Gorgonospids today." Fang announced, stretching as she spoke. "Now, I want to establish a few ground rules, okay?" Serah and the now awake Hope nodded, eager eyes fixed on their new mentor. "First things first: Do what I say without hesitation. If I say to run you get. The. Fuck. Out." She said, sitting down on a rock. "Trust my judgment." Serah and Hope nodded, but Fang shook her head. "I'm serious. If a Behemoth might rip out my guts and I tell you to run and save yourselves, run like hell." Serah and Hope hesitated, but nodded.

"Second. Serah, this may not seem fair to you, but there are times when I'll tell you to stay back but not Hope. This is because, not only is Hope more adept at using his magic then you, but Hope knows my strategies and what to do when fighting with me. So, I'm just going to be frank here, I trust Hope in battle a lot more then you, okay?" Hope's chest swelled slightly with pride at this statement. Serah nodded.

"I understand." She said, a little crestfallen.

Fang nodded in turn and continued. "Third: If you guys get hurt Lightning is gonna kill me so… let the things hit me before you, okay?" She said. Hope nodded immediately, having first-hand experienced Fang's Sentinel power, but Serah paused.

"What if we might survive?" She asked. Fang shook her head.

"Trust my judgment. Hope will have healed me before I could die, ain't that right, Hope?" She punched the boy playfully on the shoulder, causing Hope to chuckle slightly.

"I'm not that good…" He said, smiling.

"Trust your abilities!" She said, standing up. "All right, a few other things: Stay away from Behemoths, Amphisbaenas, Adamantoise, and Magestrons. Kay?" Hope and Serah nodded, eager to get hunting. "All right! Let's go!" Fang grabbed her lance and raised it above her head, shaking it slightly. Hope grabbed his boomerang and did the same, while Serah merely used her fist. Then Fang started walking down the hill to the valley, closing followed by Hope and Serah.

==2 Hours Later==

Serah and Hope sat on a rock, breathing heavily. Yet for some reason Hope had a huge grin on his face.

"Man, haven't done this in a while." He said breathlessly. Fang grinned.

"Fun, ain't it?" She asked. Hope and Serah nodded. "Well, it should be… eight now. Maybe nine. What say we have breakfast then go find that pack that got away?" Once again, Serah and Hope nodded. Then Serah grabbed the bagels and cream cheese and placed them on a large, flat rock that could act like a table.

Suddenly Fang stood up, her head turned to the side. Serah looked up, startled by her sudden movement, while Hope looked concerned. "What's wrong?" He asked. Fang silenced him by holding a hand up.

"Shh." She hissed. Hope and Serah fell silent, then suddenly two men sprang out from behind a rock.

"Damn! We hoped to spring a surprise attack but that Pulsian heard us!" One said. In his hands was a huge gun. The other man held two pistols.

Fang turned her head towards them and smirked. "Not heard. Smelled. How long has it been since you boys have taken a shower?" She asked. The man who had spoken scowled.

"I would suggest that you be respectful." He said. "You're outnumbered."

Serah frowned. "It's three to two." She said. The man chuckled.

"Actually, it's twenty to three." He said. Immediately eighteen more men walked out from behind the rocks, holding guns.

"Shit…" Fang hissed, glaring at the men. Hope grabbed his boomerang, but a sharp gunshot rang out and Hope screamed in pain, clutching his hand. "HOPE!" Fang shouted. Blood dribbled out of the new hole in his hand and the man with pistols smirked, one of them smoking.

"Stay away from the weapon, little boy." He said. "We don't mind shooting you guys. Fang glared at him.

"What the hell do you want?" She asked, her voice dangerously low. The man shrugged.

"We want the former l'Cie." He said, leering at her.

"Why?" Serah's voice came out shrill and high-pitched. The man chuckled.

"Our boss wants to kill you guys. Come along now." Fang blinked at this.

"You want to kill us and you expect us to come with you?" She asked, amazed by the man's preposterous suggestion. The man leered again.

"Unless you wanna die here." He said, pushing a button on his jacket. From a sky descended a sky ship that had been cloaked until recently. "Now come along. We won't hurt you… too much. Another man walked up to Fang and poked the bad end of his gun into her back. Fang frowned and set her lance down.

"Fine… Serah, Hope, don't worry." She said, looking at the younger ones. Hope was on the ground, holding his hand, but he looked up and nodded. Serah nodded as well. Another man poked a gun into Serah's head, and one grabbed Hope by the scruff of his shirt and yanked him to his feet.

"Walk."
