A second chance
By Kerry_Saotome
Chapter 5
The guards threw the protesting Jesrick into a cell. "Please no! you can't execute Kuja, sure he was evil in the past but he has changed, please!. you have got to believe me". The guard slapped her across the back of her head. "Shut up you little bitch, you are both going to be executed so i suggest you enjoy the last few hours of you life while you still can" with that the guard slammed the door shut and locked it behind him. Jesrick began to cry uncontrolably, she couldn't believe this was happening. Jesrick got up and grabbed the bars in the small window of her door. "Let me out you scum bag jerks!". "Jesrick?" came a small weak voice from the cell beside her. "Kuja!" she cried out, "Are you okay?". Kuja sighed and winced in pain, one of the guards had punched him hard in the chest because he was struggling while they were bringing him down, he thought they had broken a bone. But that didn't matter to him anymore, he was going to be executed, and so was Jesrick. He leaned his head against the door. "Jesrick i'm so sorry, this is all my fault, i didn't expect this to happen" a tear ran down his cheek. "I hope you can fogive me". Jesrick smiled slightly, "Of course i forgive you Kuja, i just wish they could understand that you have changed" Jesrick broke down into tears again, "I wish you were her with me, i really need someone to hug right now". "Shhh Jesrick, don't cry please, we'll be together soon but in a different place", Kuja soothed. "I love you".
Jesrick woke with a start when she heard the guards opening the gates to the dungeons, she dashed to the door to see them take Kuja from his cell. She pounded on the door with her fists. "No! Kuja!". He turned towards her, his face streaked with tears and his eye red round the rims. The guards then pushed his violently. "Alright you, move it!". Jesrick couldn't contain her anger any longer, she picked up the small stool in the corner of her cell and threw it full force at the door, the stool broke into hundereds of little pieces. "YOU BASTARDS!" she shouted at the top of her voice. A dark figure then appeared at the door, his face hidden by a hat. The figure placed a finger to his lips telling her to be quiet and then unlocked the door. Jesrick burst through the door and was grabbed by the dark figure. "Shhh, be quiet, i'll get you out of here". The figure the pulled off his hat. "King Zidane!" Jesrick was shocked. Zidane smiled, "Not quiet King yet, and after this i don't think i will be". He reached out and grabbed her hand, "Common, we have to save Kuja". Jesrick pulled away from him, "Why do you care so damn much about him?". Zidane took her hand again, "Because he's my brother" and he dragged her away from the cells.
Zidane and Jesrick ran up the stairs as fast as they could, Zidane then stoped half way up and pressed a very well hidden button in the wall, a secret door opened wide, the passage way lit up by candles sitting on the walls, Zidane handed her her his dagger and told her how to cast stop spells. "Please save Kuja, i know he has chaged as do you". Jesrick threw her arms around Zidanes neck and hugged him tightly. "Thank you!". she turned and ran down the corridor. Zidane turned and headed toward the royal seatting area.
Jesrick ran as fast as her legs could carry her. As she rounded a corner she found herself facing 3 huge soldiers, they all came for her, "Seize the prisioner at once" one of the bellowed. Jesrick the recited the stop spell Zidane had told her and sure enough the soldiers stopped dead in thier tracks, Jesrick smiled. "EXCELENT!" she shouted, as she ran past she kicked one of the guards in his bits and laughed. "Kuja baby, here i come"
Kuja didn't struggle from the soliders cluches as he was lead along the long pathway, it seemed to streach on forever. The crowds bellow him shouting all sorts of abuse towards the young silver haired man. he looked up towards the royal viewing are to see Queen Garnet and Zidane, Garnets face was streaked with tears. It was obvious how she felt about the whole situation but he could understand why she had wanted it done. Kuja swallowed hard as he was told to kneel in front of the small wooden block. His heart raced in his chest, he was shaking badly and his tail was thrashing around madly. "Goodbye Zidane. Goodbye Jesrick" he murmured. He closed his eyes, prepared for the blow. "HOLD IS RIGHT THERE YOU BUNCH OF FUCK UPS!" yelled a voice behind him. Everyone turned to find Jesrick standing in a fighting stance holding the dagger firmly in her grasp. Zidane breathed a sigh of relife and noticed that Dagger did the same. Jesrick cast the stop spell on the Guards advancing towards her. Another group of soldier appeared out of now were, Jesrick spun round and slashed one of them across the throat, "All right ass wipes, who wants some?". Steiners face darkened, "Do it now!" he shouted at the executioner. The tall masked man swung the axe back but stopped himself from bringing it back down as Jesrick threw herself over Kuja's body. "Don't do it!" she shouted up at the man. Soldiers surrounded them, wepons at the ready. Zidane and Dagger had made thier way down to the execution area by this time and pushed their way through the soldiers, they stood before the two. Dagger turned towards Zidane, "Give me one good reason why i should let this man live" she asked. Zidane couldn't describe why he felt he shouldn't be executed. Jesrick noticed this and pipped up. "Because he is truly sorry what what he has done, he was making the effort to change himself and i think he did," Jesrick hugged his body tighter. "He is an amazing person and he cares deeply about me, as i do him. He is as human as you and me" her voice then cracked as she felt the hot tears running down her face. "And i love him. Please don't do this to me". Dagger looked at the silver haired man at her feet, his face battered and bruised, his breathing labored. He looked as weak as new born child. Dagger nodded her head slowly. "Release the prisoner" she murmered. Zidane and Jesrick's faces lit up at this. When Kuja's hands were released he threw his arms around Jesrick and embraced her tightly. She burried her face into hs chest and sobbed uncontroably, Kuja stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head. He then stood up and walked over to Dagger, he kneeled in front of her and took her hand, he brought it up towards his lips and kissed it lightly. "Thank you your Highness, you have no idea what this means to me". He then stood before Zidane and smiled, "Thank you my brother, for believing in me". He turned away from the two and help Jesrick to her feet pulling her into a long passionate kiss. Kuja broke the kiss and ran his fingers through his long silver hair. "So what now?" he asked. Dagger stood forward and rested her hand on his arm, "You two can stay here at the castle while you recover you injuries" Kuja smiled and nodded "Thank you your highness". Dagger held her had up in front of him, "Please, call me Dagger". The four slowly made their way back towards the castle. "Hey Jesrick, you still didn't tell how you managed to save me from that Silver Dragon".
~*(A year later)*~
Kuja walked up the steps towards Alexandria castle, he held his wife's hand tightly, her swollen stomach making it hard for her to walk. Zidane rushed out towards Kuja and embraced him in a bear hug. "I'll tell the guards to take your bags up to your room". Kuja smiled warmly towards his brother, he then noticed Dagger standing behind him, her own stomach slightly swollen. Jesrick walked over to her sister-in-law and hugged her, "So, how are things then?" she asked, Dagger rolled her eyes, "apart from the vomiting every morning and the inability to walk things couldn't be better. I have no idea how you are able to handle this so well". Kuja walked up towards the two girl. "I can't believe this is our new home" He wrapped his arms around Jesricks waist rubbing her stomach lovingly". "Well you are a prince now Kuja, we could hardly let you stay in that small cottage, especially after the babies are born". Dagger then grabbed his hand and pulled him up towards the castle doors. "Welcome to your new home".
Author Note: Damn that wasn't very exciting, but hey at least Kuja didn't die, so all you Kuja fans can stop sending me the death threats now. Thank you.
