I could only glare intensely at the guard sitting in the chair across the room from me. They'd put the cursed leather muzzle back on when I'd taken the fingers off one of the scientists. I liked to bite, what could I say? I hadn't seen my brothers in over a week. I was terrified for them, and furious that this was really happening again. Then, I got a surprise.

"Dear little child, why do you enjoy your suffering?" A cool voice breathed.
"Sephiroth?" I tried to say, but it was muffled by the muzzle. The guard, as usual, ingored me.
"Think in your head, fool. Now, why are you putting yourself through this suffering?"
"What choice do I have?"
"You can let me help you."
"How?"
"Let me take over. Just a few minutes, I promise. I can get all four of you out of here."
"Why would I let you do that? We all know you'd never leave."
"I'll make a deal with you, a binding deal. I will get you out of here, and as soon as you're safe you can have your body back. In return, I want you to do me a favor. Not now, but when the time comes, I want you to kill Cloud and all his little friends. Sound good?"
"How do I know you're not lying?"
"It's a binding deal. It's deeply magical, impossible to break. I assure you I don't want to stay in your body long anyway. It's too wierd."
"Fine. Done."
"Ok then. Here we go."
BOOM

5 hours later
"Yaz? Yaz, can you hear me?" I asked quietly.
"Yes, I can hear you, you dumbass. Now shut up." He growled.
They were bad hurt, as I was, but we were safe, as promised. They didn't know that it had been Sephiroth taking them, but he had taken us to the house, where we'd taken our bikes, and took us to a large abandoned warehouse that the forest had grown through. It couldn't be seen from the air, and it was surrounded by large trees. It virtually didn't exist to anyone. They'd created lumpy beds out of tarps and sheets and other things that had been left behind. My chest hurt badly. It wasn't healing right, and all the horrible tests they'd performed on me hadn't helped. Loz had made his bed next to mine, and he was very overprotective of me suddenly. He didn't want me to leave his sight. Daj was in pain, and he'd gone straight to sleep. Yaz was going in and out on consciousness.

"What did they do to you?" I asked, my voice almost breaking.
"Lots of things. We all did. I...don't want to talk about it." Loz replied quietly, and laid back.
I layed back too, placing a hand wearing over my tightly bandaged chest. I cringed as the mere presure of my hand caused it to burn.
"At least we're safe here. We need to get away, Loz. Dye our hair, change our names, get contacts for our eyes... I don't want this to keep happening. I don't want to remember how horrible our life is."
"I know, Tally. I know. You should really sleep, you look like you haven't."
"What about you?"
"Oh, I'm sleeping. Don't worry about that."
"Ok. Night Loz."
"Night Talin."

"They what?!?!" Cloud burst out, heart quickening.
"They blew up the entire facility this morning. Everyone in it is dead. We lost their trail, we can't find them anywhere. We found a security post outside the facility, and we managed to retrieve some undamaged footage. The girl did it. The entire thing. We have no idea how either. She's not suppose to have that kind of power." The scientist replied. He turned on a TV, and Cloud watched the horrid events of what happened.
"Sephiroth." He suddenly snarled. He recognized the sadistic smirk on the girl's face, the arrogant way she walked, the way she so ruthlesly destroyed everything around her. Somehow, it'd been Sephiroth.
"We have to find them. Sephiroth has come back."

"Talin!" A loud voice snapped as a sharp pain exploded over my face.
I jolted awake to Daj sitting over me, shaking me by the shoulders.
"OW! Did you just slap me?" I gasped, placing a hand to my burning cheek.
"Learn to wake up, we thought you were dead!" He replied angrily, and sat back, clutching his shoulder in pain.
"I'm sorry. I'm tired." I replied, sitting up.
"Yeah, well, something was wrong with you. You started wheezing and gasping. I think it's your heart."
"Oh... I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?"
"I don't know."
Suddenly Loz came in, helping Yaz to walk. We had somehow survived. I closed my eyes as I remembered how we'd escaped last time.

"Talin! What're you doing?"
"I killed the guard and got his keys. Come on, we have to get out of here!"
"No, we can't! If they catch us, they'll kill us!"
"We have to go, now! They'll kill us eventually anyways. please, this is our only chance!"
"...Mother says go, so let's go!"
We ran as fast as we could down the dark hallways, and found an exit. I slid the guard's security pass through the slot, and for the first time in our lives we felt sunlight and wind and fresh air. We ran as alerts went off, and guards came pouring from the facility. But we had the taste of freedom, we couldn't be stopped now. We ran and ran and ran until we were deep in the woods. Then we found the tiny abandoned house, and we found a few blueberry bushes, and for days we lived off them. And over time, we fixed the house and made money, and finally we had gotten some form of a life.

"Talin... how'd you do it? How'd you save us again?" Yaz suddenly asked. I didn;t reply. I didn't know how.
