Deep Within
Chapter 3
Zell felt like he was floating away as he laid there.
"Zell!" called some one.
"Let me sleep." He said refusing to open his eyes. Suddenly his vision was filled with a white light and standing over him was that girl. "Lidia?"
"Time to get up Zell." She said.
"Zell!" called out another voice. This one brought him out of his dream state. Standing around him was all of his friends and the girl.
He blinked and moaned as he rolled over on his side covering the side of head with his hands.
"We need a medic in there!" he heard Laguna yell as he heard several other people run in the room.
"Zell! Please don't die!" cried Selphie
Zell realized that someone was standing in front of him.
"What's his name and age?" asked the medic that was closest to him.
"Zell Dincht he's 18." Said Squall. Funny Zell could almost hear emotion in his voice for once.
"Zell." Said the medic as he lowered down to him shining a light in his eyes. Zell flinched.
"Ouch. Don't do that." He mumbled.
"Zell!" exclaimed Selphie.
Slowly Zell was able to get off the floor and stand on his own. He moaned once again as he rubbed his eyes.
"Are you okay? What's your name and age, son?" asked the medic
"I think so. I'm Zell age 18." He said shaking his head. He still didn't feel right.
"What happened?" asked Irvine
"I have no idea." He said catching himself before he fell back over.
"Whoa!" yelled the medic as he helped Zell steady himself. "You should take it easy."
"What are we going to do Squall? Continue the mission with a dizzy chicken wuss?" Asked Seifer gesturing to Zell.
Squall paused then finally answered. "It's a simple mission anyways we should continue." He walked over to Zell. "Your unfit for battle in your condition. Give your junctions to Irvine for now."
"I'm fine I swear!" he yelled then got light headed again.
Squall shook his head. "Is the airship ready for us, Laguna?"
"Yes."
"Then we leave." He said nodding to the door.
The SeeDs followed Squall as Selphie lead Lidia out by the hand.
Zell couldn't shake his uneasy feeling as they walked the long hallway to the airships docks. He glanced at Lidia she was staring at him. Well more through him than at him. He shivered as he focused his sight on the floor.
"Are you okay?" asked Selphie.
He nodded. "Never better."
They arrived at the airship the doors woosed open and they walked in.
"Secure Lidia." Said Squall as he marched to the front of the ship.
Selphie led Lidia to a confinement area. "Stay here and be a good girl." She said as she placed her in there.
"I don't see why we have to escort this kid. I mean she hasn't done a damn thing since we got her." Said Seifer as he walked to the front of the airship.
"Who's going to guard her?" asked Selphie.
"Not me." Said Irvine as he turned away from them. "I'm not a baby sitter." He finished as he walked to the front of the airship.
"I'll do it." Said Zell.
"Are you sure?"
"Y- yeah." He said nodding.
"Kay. Have fun." She said walking to the front of the ship.
He looked over at Lidia who was sitting in the back of the confinement area. He felt the airship lift off the ground as he walked closer to her.
He lowered down to her level. "Who are you?"
She remained silent.
"Do I know you?"
Once again she said nothing.
"Do you know me?"
She continued to stare at him. Her mouth began to move it looked as though she said yes.
"Did you say yes?"
She nodded.
He felt like he made some progress. "How?"
Once again she said nothing.
He sighed feeling defeated before he even began the conversation. Suddenly they airship jarred and the warning alarms went off. He ran to the front of the ship. "What the hell!" he demanded.
"We're crashing something is wrong with the ship!" yelled Irvine as he struggled to maintain control of the ship.
Zell jumped into a nearby seat and fastened himself in it. He held his breath as he heard Irvine yell. "Hang on!" as he saw the ground rush up to them through the windshields.
Author note: I know it's been like three years since an update but I finally updated :) Hopefully it won't be another three years before I have time to update again.
