Chapter 7: Bevelle
When the three teens took their first steps into the town it felt as if they were in a new world. Unlike the real Bevelle this one was much bigger, almost as big as the Luce in Spira's world. It was also filled with people walking from shop to shop like it was just one giant mall.
The air was filled with the smells of food cooking, scents of womens' perfumes, and just a small hint of blood from the rift raft of the town.
For the heroes there was also a weir, ominous presence. It made had them all on alert and uneasy. Despite this they needed to fine the aeon.
"We're here." Erin started as she moved her chocobo, Phill, from her head and was now holding him in her arms.
"But what now?" Z asked while looking around all the busy people as they walked by them.
"You did say you needed to find all the aeons again, right?"
"Y-Yes but we don't know how." Destiny said, trying not to bump into anyone.
"Easy, we just go to the temp-" Erin stopped, both walking and talking, while she looked around.
"You don't know where it is, do you?" Said the black haired boy, as he crossed his arms.
"Not a clue. Its not exactly the same as in the game ya know."
"So . . . What now?" The small summoner asked as he griped her hands together with a worried look on her face.
"We find a place to stay for the night. We my be staying here for a while." Z then commanded.
"With what money?" Erin was fast to point out.
"Um . . ." He didn't know what to say.
"I guess I'll have to sell my body then." Said the dark eyed girl.
"Oh no! Don't do that!" Destiny began pleading with her.
"I was only kidding."
"Or was she?" Z thought to himself.
He then saw a flash out of the corner of his eye, that got his attention. He walked away from the two girls, heading to an old looking bench. The paint was pealing off and was so brittle that it fell off to his touch. It also gave a grimy felling.
Z then knelled down to fine a coin laying beside the bench legs with a bit of dirt covering it. He lightly brushed it off as he picked up the and saw the number 1,000 on it.
The boy looked from side to side as he rubbed his fingers against the gold-ish brown texture of the coin. He then stood up and took his place with the girls, which he thought could only be talking about Erin's pet bird.
"Z. What is that?" Destiny asked, seeing something shine in the boy's hand.
"Our ticket to an Inn." Was his reply as he led up the coin.
"Where did you get that?" Asked the small girl once more.
"You don't need to know."
She then gasped as he put a hand over her mouth. "You didn't steal that did you?"
"No. If you must know I found it."
"Same thing." Erin said.
"Do you want to sleep outside? No? Then Shut it."
"Okay, but what now?" Destiny asked.
"We'll find were we're staying then look for the aeon." Z said as he started walking.
Both girls followed Z without saying much of anything. The group walked for a few minutes, looking for a good Inn for the night.
"Here." Z soon said as they stopped in front of a small, rundown building. He quickly walked in and payed for their rooms.
"Done." Said the young warrior as he walked back. "Now lets slip up to fine the aeon. We'll meet here at sun set but if you get into any trouble come back here."
"Right." Destiny agreed.
I can handle some jackass with a hard on." Erin said, crossing her arms.
"I never said anything like that." Z then said.
". . . ." Erin remanded Silent.
Destiny broke the silence with a small cough.
"Anyways just be here on time." And with that Z was on his way.
Destiny said nothing as he too walked off, leaving Erin on her own.
Erin just rubbed her head as he went on her way as well.
While Z walked on his own, looking for the new aeon, he couldn't help of think of the things Erin said. The more and more he thought of it, his mind would play out scenes in his head, the more upset he would get over it.
"Never saw you as the possessive type." Z head in his head, which means it could only be Auron.
"One, we just met like two days ago do you don't know me, and two, I'm in no way possessive of her."
"Well me may have never met physically but we have been linked forever. I know you two didn't exactly start off on the right foot but can you at lest say your interested in her?"
"Never."
Just then a guy that saw Z with the girls before ran up and stopped him in his tracks. "Hey, you. Your the guy with that girl with the dark eyes and had 'Guard' on her shirt, right?"
"Yeah, what of it?" Z was already getting a bad felling from this.
"Man I couldn't take my eyes off her! How do I get her for some-"
Z didn't let the man finish his sentence as he punched him in the face then continued walking.
". . . Just shut up."
"That was better then anything I could say."
"Whatever."
After that, Z didn't say or do anything that would make Auron think he was interesting in Erin . . . even if it were true.
Destiny was now on her own, with her fingers woven together and pressed close to her chest. Her heart was beating at what felt like one thousand miles an hour as her light green eyes darted from side to side.
"Are you alright?" Came the soft voice of the legendary High Summoner Yuna.
"W-What!?" Who's there?" Destiny almost yelled, causing people to stare.
"Please calm down, its only me."
"Oh, Yuna. Don't scare me like that."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
"I know, its okay."
"You seem a little tense. What is troubling you?"
"I-I don't do well on my own. . ."
"I see. Well your not alone, I'm with you."
"I-Its not the same . . ."
"Remember, I'm here with you along with my powers when I was a summoner. Just trust yourself and you won't need to fear anything."
"O-Okay. . ."
After the summoners' talk a strange looking man walked up and took a hold of Destiny's wrist.
"Hey, I've been following you for a while now. Come with me, I promise you'll have a good time." The man said we he started to pull on Destiny's arm.
"I-I don't think-"
"Then don't and come with me." He then said, with a unpleasing tone as they headed to a black ally.
"N-No!" Destiny cried as she closed her eyes tightly, trying to get out of the man's grip.
A pink light then formed around the small girl's wrist that pushed the man's hand off of her wrist and also pushed him into the ally, causing him to land in a garbage can.
The young summoner looked down at her hand in both a surprised and excited look. She then smiled as she went on her way.
Now its Erin's turn to look for the alleged aeon. She decided to keep her chocobo at the Inn since she didn't want to lose him.
For the most part everything was normal, other then seeing a few guys looking at her every so often. She let out a tiny smirk, seeming to enjoy the attention.
As she walked through the crowed, a man that was only a little taller then herself stood in front of her.
"Excuse me." Said the man. He wore a leather jacket, black shirt, and dark blue jeans causing the scene to get get a bit darker for Erin. "I just wanted to know if you would like to come with me for a little fun." The man then gave a evil-ish grin.
"I would but I'm a bit busy, try again later." Erin replied with a smirk as she went on her way.
He path was soon blocked by a new man that gave off the same upsetting felling as when she first got to the town.
Just then another man stood behind her. Erin Quickly realized that there was a small ally way just to the left of her but it only lead to a dead end.
She then felt a shove from her right side, causing her to slam into the dead end wall. The from before then walking into the ally while the two other men blocked the only way out.
"What the hell do you think your doing!?"
The man ran up and grabbed a hold of Erin, by her neck, as he pinned her to the wall that was just behind her. He then stared at her with hungry eyes, looking over her body.
"Ohhhh! What a meanie! How about we even the odds?" Came the vice of an over happy girl.
"R-Rikku?" Erin thought as she looked around the ally.
"The one and only! Don't you worry Erie (pronounced as airy) we can handle this."
Now it seems as if time has stopped with the blond, seventeen year old thief standing right next to her chosen partner. She wore the same outfit as she did while looking for Tidus.
She had the yellow string bikini, with the tiny, jean like, brown skirt. She had her orange scarf with the yellow tips, along with her white arm sleeves and blue shoes. She had her blue headband to keep her hair in place.
"So you ready to show them who's in charge?"
"You know it." Erin said, looking at her new partner, with what could only be descried as fire in her eyes with a devilish smirk on her face.
Rikku grabbed a hold of Erin's hand, causing the green eyed Al Bhed girl to fade away and Erin to be covered in a emerald green light.
The chosen girl was soon reveled with a new wardrobe. Her hair was now a dirty blond with it styled just like Rikku's. Her eyes were now a dazzling hazel color as well.
Her height had shrunk, only down to five feet. Last but not lest changes was that of her outfit. It looked exactly like the Al Bhed thief's but with minor color changes.
Her bikini was now black, as too was her tiny skirt. The shoes were the same as before, along with the scarf. The headband was now black and so was her arm sleeves.
Time was now starting back up to where it had left off, with the man pinning Erin down to the wall with the hungry eye, showing him to be on the edge of doing awful deeds.
"Buddy, I got to say, you . . . need a tick tack." Said the newly made thief as she swiftly kicked the dirt bag of a man in the stomach.
While he was bent over from the impact, Erin took the opportunity to, yet again, kick him but this time in his head, causing him to turn to his right side, slamming his head into a wall just beside him.
"Hey!" Said the voice of the guard that was blocking the exit, with the other one looking to see what his partner was complaining about. The two then started walking down the small ally way towards Erin.
A small grin appeared on the girls face as the two men walked to her. She then let out a small squeak that made a 'tee hee' sound before the two large men charged at her.
The sounds of punches and kicks, flying and hitting their mark, filled the air as the sun was fading down on the town known as Bevelle.
Z and Destiny stood at the Inn that the young leader had chosen before the search for the aeon, waiting for Erin.
"Where could she be? The sun is almost gone . . ." Said the small girl as she worryingly looked around.
Z said nothing as he kept his arms crossed, looking out into space, trying not to do or say anything.
"Oh! There she is!" Destiny said with excitement as Erin walked up.
"Hey guys."
"Where have you been!" Destiny said, almost sounding angry.
Z said nothing as he looked over Erin, at first to see if she was injured in any way then to see her changed appearance. After a while his eyes started to go over her body yet again, seeing how her body curved which caused him to go off in his thoughts.
"I got a little tied up but here." Erin said as she gave a small sack of gill to Destiny. She then walked up to Z.
"You home?" She then said, waving her hand in front of Z's face.
Z snapped out of his thoughts as he looked down at the blond haired girl, seeing a bag in her hand for him.
"Where did this come from?"
"Well, lets just say it was a gift from some good guys." Erin said, thinking of how the three men begged her not to kill them as they gave her all their gill.
Z would have asked more but soon stars started to show up in the sky, telling them it was time for bed.
The three walked into the Inn, the two girls walking into their shared room while Z had his own. Hopefully tomorrow would be a better day for aeon hunting.
