Chapter 10: Hated by the outside world
Red slowly nodded to him self. But he still had to check to make sure everything in her body was working right. He put an x-ray machine in front of her and started it up. He didn't see any bones broken. And all her insides looked fine.
"Hmm...I guess her just having trouble breathing. Cause of how weak her life energy is..." he whispered turning off the machine. Red knew it was better not to tell cloud. Not to tell cloud what he found out about the cetra in the book.
As well as not tell Sara as well. When ever she did wake up that was. From what he could tell. It could take around 6 months or years for her life energy to filly heal again. And that was if she was lucky. And for cloud, red sure hope she was lucky.
So far it had been close to two weeks. And Sara was still the same. But red did have her up to a machine to see how her life energy was doing. So far she was only up to 20 for her whole body. He wasn't sure if it was going fast or slow.
He had never seen anyone come this close to death. But he somewhat wanted to learn more about the cetra and study. Because of this girl. He had so many questions. He hoped she would pull and win over this. About no one knew anything about the cetra the first called humans.
But she was getting better from what he could tell. Her breathing was starting to even out. Soon she may not even need the machine's help. Red nodded because he knew cloud would be happy to hear this.
Some of the others left to make sure none of the black robe clones were left. Or any DNA of the silver hair men. So nothing like that could happen again. That what they all worried about.
But another problem started. The outside world, from Cosmo canyon started to blame everything that happened on Sara. She had become an enemy of the world. Only those people who had been there knew she was a hero.
But no others knew. The outside world didn't know the group who destroy sephiroth two years ago. We're now protecting this girl. Would they become enemies of the world as well? If the world knew? They didn't really care. They were the group and had battled shinra as well.
The group that believes mako energy wasn't right. And it truly wasn't. Mako energy just was hitting the planet in the long run. But shinra didn't care. Only maybe Reeve would have cared. He was the only good person working there.
Reeve was also one of them. One the people who stop sephiroth even inside the stuff toy's body. Reeve was the leader of Junon. But the stuff toy did come back info on shinra time to time.
Neo-shinra had started to rebuild midgar. The city of the mako energy. They believe Sara was an enemy of the world as well. Red saw it in the newspaper daily. It was good thing they had no idea where she was.
Or they would hunt her down like a dog. For the time being she was safe. And that all they could hope for. She was the light of hope that stops sephiroth.
Cloud had been coming everyday to check on her. "Red..?" red heard cloud voice and looked up. "You're here again I see..." red whispered looking up from a small computer.
Cloud didn't answer, he wasn't sure how too. He walked over to her bed and stared down at her. "How her energy..?" He whispered to red. "30 it just jumped a bit…" cloud felt surprised to hear that. "What does it mean..?" cloud whispered to red turning toward him. "I don't know it was just 20 yesterday. It could be good or bad…" red was still unsure about this. About a person getting they're energy back.
"I have been learning a bit by studying her but. I can only learn so much this way..." he said looking toward cloud again. "She isn't a project…" he whispered with a growl. Red sweating a bit, "I didn't mean it that…way." "How did you mean it then..?" cloud asked crossing his arms.
"Umm err. I mean I could learn a lot more from talking to her…" he stepped back a bit. Worried that cloud would beat him up. "Oh..." cloud whispered letting his arms fall to his sides. Red slowly let out a sigh. Glad to know cloud wasn't too angry.
"But cloud they're a bigger problem. We have now..." he whispered to cloud looking at a newspaper. "And what problem with that be..?" cloud asked giving red a confused looked. Red threw the newspaper into the desk beside the bed.
"Look at the title!" red said pointing to it with his nose. "Enemy of the world..?" cloud asked seeing a picture of jenova. "No…" cloud whispered seeing it was jenova in the picture. "Yes. It looks like someone had taken a picture when jenova was in control of her body..." red whispered walking away from the desk.
"But it wasn't her fault!" cloud yelled to red. "Yes. We all know that who was there. But…" red looked to the ground shaking his eyes. "She will be blamed for it..." "The people always look to blame someone when bad things happen to them..." Cloud knew that was true.
"They will hunt her…" red whispered looking back to the newspaper. "Just like an animal. But she a human!" cloud yelled and quickly left the room. "Cloud!" red yelled but it was too late. He was gone.
A man was looking at the newspaper at that time as well. "Wow. Did you see this..?" the red hair man asks the other. He slowly nodded to the red hair man. "We should show sir this..!" The red hair man said with a grin.
"Why would we want to show the president something like that…Reno..?" rude asked quietly as he normally did. "Aww come on! Maybe he will give us a job!" "It better then just standing around here!" he said hitting rude with the newspaper. "But. Standing is part of are job..." rude whispered letting Reno hit him with the newspaper.
"Aww...but that boring part…" rude rolled his eyes at reno. "You're just saying that because you aren't fighting anything..." he whispered pushing his glasses up a little. "Yea...yea…" he said waving a hand at rude.
"I'm still showing him!" he yelled walking into the president room where Elena was guarding him. "Sir..!" Reno said as his step up to his desk. He had a big blanket over him. "What is it Reno..?" he asked slowly looking up to him.
"This sir..." he said placing a newspaper on the desk in front of the president. But he didn't say a word after seeing the picture at first. "Hmm..?" he then said standing up. "Sir!" Elena yelled catching him before he fell. "…this girl…" Rufus whispered as the blanket fell off of him.
Half of his face was ban aids up. "I want you and rude. To bring this girl to me…" he whispered looking up to Reno. "Sir..?" Reno asked questionly. "She is the missing link…many people who study. The cetra were looking for..." he whispered closing his eyes as Elena helped him sit back down.
"I want her…here as soon as you can bring her..." he whispered. "um..Yes sir..." Reno said turning and leaving the room.
"Sir? Are you sure you want that girl to come here..?" Elena asked questioning him a bit. "Are you questioning me Elena..?" he asked opening his eyes looking up to her. "What? No sir. I'm not..." she said standing by his side.
"Good..." he whispered crossing his arms. He knew if he had this girl so many questions he had could be answered. And some of those questions hojo never answer for him.
Later in Wutai. "Sir Godo!" a female ninja said running into his room. "What is it now? Cant you see I'm busy…umm studying?" he said hiding his dirty book. "…." The female ninja rolled her eyes a bit. "Umm sir. You may want to see this!" she said handing him the front of a newspaper.
"Hmm…what's this..?" he asked picking up the newspaper. His look quickly changed seeing the picture. "This is!" he yelled dropping the newspaper. "Yes. Sir I believe so..." she whispered slowly kneeing down. "Hmm after so many years…" he said looking up at the ceiling.
"Umm what do you wish to be done?" "About the problem?" she asked staying on her knees. "Easy…kill her..." Godo said taking a drink from a cup. "Understand I will take some other ninjas with me and it will be done!" she said as she disappeared from the room.
"Hard to believe after 1000 years. She reappears again..." he whispered picking up the newspaper looking at the picture of jenova. "The daughter of the devil…" he whispered closing his eyes.
"it so dark…" Sara whispered to her self. She waved her hand in front of her face. "Am I dead…?" she whispered looking around her self. "How couldn't I be? After what I did…?" she asked her self. "My body. Feel so weak…maybe I am alive..?" she whispered feeling a warm light on her back.
She slowly turned around. "What's that light..?" she whispered letting her hand try to grab it. "It so far away..." she slowly started to move toward it. But as she got close, she heard a voice. "STOP!" she quickly stopped and looked around.
"Who's there…?" she asked looking around but saw no one. "Don't go toward the light!" the voice screamed. "But…the light isn't good..?" she asked still looking around where the voice was coming from. "No. the light isn't good!" the voice screamed again.
She looked away from the light. She had a feeling the voice was coming from the west. But. She didn't know the voice. But at the same time she did. But it wasn't aerith's voice.
She started to run toward where she heard the voice. As she ran toward where the voice came from. The room started to change. It looked very old. Maybe even over 1000 years old. "Where..?" she whispered seeing she was inside of a house now.
She picked up a picture to see a beautifully women in the picture. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. "Those eyes…" she whispered to her self looking at the picture. "I know those eyes somehow..." she whispered placing the picture back on the table.
The picture disappeared with the table as the room started to change a bit. She felt like the room was spinning. "What…is this..?" she yelled as the room finished changing. She was in a bed room now.
She saw the blonde hair women walk in. "it her..." she whispered watching her. The women looked so sad. She looked into the mirror but didn't see her for some reason. "Ma'am you don't have to do this!" a man said running into her room. "Yes. I do. Do not try to stop me alsheak…" she whispered closing her eyes as she combed her hair.
"But ms.Ceres!" Sara froze hearing that name. "Ceres…? Could this girl be the legend…cetra..?" "The first cetra on this planet..?" she asked her self watching her. "NO BUT!" the girl yelled to alsheak. "I'm the only one who can stop her…" she whispered placing her comb on the desk.
"But…" he whispered watching her. "Thank you for being so kind to me..." "But I have to stop her…" "She is my mother after all..." she whispered quickly leaving the room.
The room started to change again. "What that really Ceres? And what she talking about jenova…?" "Then that means…this had to be part of jenova's memories…" she whispered to her self. She felt her body become really warm. "It warm…" she whispered to her self. She felt like she could hear someone again.
"Sara!" she blinked open her eyes slowing and found red staring down at her. "R...red..?" she asked feeling very weak. "Your…awake..?" he asked looking pretty shocked. "Red..?" she asked again feeling unsure of anything right then.
Red turned on a machine on the side of the bed. "Only 60?" he looked surprised it had only been three days. Three days ago it was 20 why did it move so quickly..? "Red…is something wrong..?" she asked as she slowly sat up.
"Your energy level. Just jumped like crazy..." he whispered to her. "So I am alive after all..." she whispered looking her hand over. "yes and your lucky…" red said turning the machine off. "But still be carefully your energy only pass half way but 10..." he said stepping away from the bed.
"Red…?" Sara asked still sitting on the bed. "Yes..?" he asked looking to her questionly. "Does…the outside world of Cosmo canyon hate me..?" she whispered still looking to him. He wasn't sure of how to answer her. Should he tell her the truth? Or did she have a feeling the world would hate her?
"Umm I…" he started to say but stop and looked away from her. "So they do..." she said stepping into her feet. "Sara…you knew this would happen didn't you..?" he asked, she had her back to him. "Yes. But I couldn't change…it. Because I knew if I did something more...umm..." she looked lost of words.
"Something even bigger would happen to the world…?" he asked her. She slowly nodded to him, keeping her back to him. "Yes...cetra is like a tree of the whole planet...if that cetra doesn't do the job right...the whole planet...will die..." she whispered slowly turning to him. "Sara…" red whispered watching her. She stepped a bit about falling over. "Ahh!" she yelled as red ran to her self catching her.
"as I said your energy still pretty low…" "So take it easy..." he whispered with a bit of a growl. She slowly smiled down to red. "Thank you for caring…" red looked away knowing cloud would kill him if he saw this. "Umm no problem…" he said helping her back up.
"Eww…" she whispered sniffing her self a bit. Red wondered why girls always worried about that first. "My hair needs a cleaning too..." he whispered turning some of her hair.
Red sighed to him self shaking his head some. "Well if you like. You can try out the hot spring. We just found a week ago..." "Some workers found it…" he said. "Really a hot spring in this day and age..?" she asked looking a bit surprised to hear that.
He slowly nodded to her. "It part of the inn now. You just have to go down some stairs to get to it..." he whispered, as she smiled to hear that. "Thank you. I think I will…" she said heading for the door. "Wait! Don't you want to tell cloud you're awake..?" he asked her running to her. She looked confused by the question.
"Why would it matter to him if I was ok or not?" "He likes tifa after all..." he looked surprised. She didn't know, he thought. "Nothing forgets I said anything..." He said heading back to his desk as she left the room.
"I wonder what that was about..?" she shrugged to her self as she started down the stairs to the inn. Her legs did feel weak. She felt like she would fall any minute. But she knew she would feel better after she got in the hot spring. Especially because she wouldn't be smelly any longer.
She had finally made it inside of the inn. She felt so tired. From just going down some stairs. She knew it was because of how low her energy was. It was only over half way a bit. She had to be carefully what she did. She had to rest more.
She headed into the inn. The inn keeper nodded to her. "Red told me about you..." The inn keeper said. "The women bath is to the right..." she said and handed her a towel. "thank you.." she whispered as she headed into the women locker room to change out of her cloths.
The locker room was made of stone. But it was a lot bigger then how it looked outside. She even found locker to keep ones items in. She wondered if they really builded this because of the hot spring. Or had it been there and they just touched it up a bit.
"So weird…" as she whispered to her self taking her shirt off. She looked down to see three cut marks over her stomach. "Sephiroth..." she whispered letting her finger touch one of the marks. But it didn't hurt. It was like. It was healed.
"Sara…?" she had a voice. As she slowly looked up from her stomach. She found yuffie giving her a shocked look. "Your. Really awake..?" "Are you alright?" yuffie asked going over to her to give her a hug. "Ouch..." she yelled as soon as yuffie hugged her.
"Oh you're still in pain..." she said letting go of her. "….no really? You think so..?" she asked rolling her eyes at yuffie. "Hey now!" "I was worried as much as cloud was!" she said crossing her arms. "What..?" Sara asked giving yuffie a weird look.
"Umm...I mean nothing!" "Nothing at all!" yuffie said rubbing the back of her head. "Well I'm going on to the hot spring come when your ready!" yuffie yelled as she quickly ran out of the locker room. "Why...is it I'm more confused everytime...I'm around this group..?" she asked her self as she slowly left the locked room as well.
