Chapter Fourteen: Sibling Rivalry
It had been a week since Seifer had caught Ceres and Zell together in the "Secret Area". Seifer now treated both of them like strangers, refusing to even say hello. And, if he did say anything to them, it wasn't anything nice.
Ceres and Zell felt miserable for hurting Seifer like that, but, after awhile, they became angry. It wasn't their fault they fell in love, why was Seifer acting like it was?
Soon, the entire Garden was seperated on the issue. Half of them cheering on the romance between Zell and Ceres, the others supporting Seifer. It was a bitter war, no one trusted anyone anymore.
Selphie and Squall supported Ceres and Zell, but, suprisingly, Quistis supported Seifer. The once best friends, quickly turned to arch-enemies. It was horrible to see.
Zell and Ceres were visibly upset by the whole ordeal. They looked as though they hadn't slept in weeks, and it was close enough to the truth. They couldn't concentrate, Ceres often falling asleep, and Zell losing his temper extremely easily.
The worst day of all though, was the day that Ceres and Seifer were assigned to fight each other in training...
Ceres hadn't thought that they were actually going to fight, until Seifer almost cut her head off. Then, she realized she was fighting for her life.
She had never seen her brother so upset, and it broke her heart inside. But, she wasn't going to spare him, if he wanted to fight rough, then that's the way it was going to be.
Ceres quickly drew her sword, and the battle officially began. Both of them were skilled fighters, and were able to block all but a few attacks.
Ceres, however, was quicker, and managed to throw Seifer to the ground, without his weapon. She held her blade to his throat, her eyes glaring with hate.
"Go ahead.." Seifer whispered, "You've already broken my heart, don't stop now.."
Ceres eyes filled with pain, and she dropped her sword, running out of the Training Centre.
That night she couldn't sleep, everytime she dozed off, Seifer's haunting words would come back to her mind. She cried that night, but never got her much-needed rest...
