Trickle - 25 - Cerulean

If this room could talk, it'd question my reason for smiling so happily right now.

.

Lowering the scalpel, I stood there, and stared at her.

"That's right, it's in there, take it and leave. Don't ask any questions."

She covered her eyes, upset that I found her hiding spot, and sat in a waiting chair.

This is too easy.

.

Slowly walking over, I stopped and stared at the medium sized medicine chest. The wood was old, and rotting, and strange enough, I have never seen it in here before.

I wrapped my fingers around the edge of the splintered door, sighed, and then carefully pulled it open.

Inside...in the center, lay a familiar looking jar with an intense blue fluid swimming within it. It swished around, as if someone had the container in their hand, and was shaking it violently.

It laid in front of me, waiting for me to reach out to it. The liquid that would slide down Seifer's throat, and make him less weak.

Looking deeper into the splashing waves, I could see us swimming in it. The tears that I just cried, were no longer clouding up my eyes, and the scalpel I held was dropped to the ground.

Picking it up slowly, I held the glass clasped in my hands, like a beautiful creature I couldn't let get away, and looked at Dr. Kadowaki. She was sitting there pouting like a child.

"Why...why did you--"

"Quistis, I said not to ask...just leave, don't tell anyone about this incident. Take it, and get out."

Was she so amazed by finding this that she wanted to keep it for herself?

After thinking about the scene that I just acted out to get this, I became embarrassed for a brief moment, but it passed.

I had no idea, that after walking through those moving doors, that this was the last time I'd see Dr. Kadowaki.

.

Back in my dorm, it was colder than I expected. The moon shined through the window curtains, and left a shimmery white square on my floor. In this silence, I could hear the stream moving around.

I smiled, and set the bottle on my desk. It glowed, and provided enough light for me to find my journal in the darkness.

April 25

If this room could talk, it'd question my reason for smiling so happily right now, but if it had eyes, it wouldn't need to ask. All it would have to do is look at Seifer's life sitting right in front of me.

I cannot believe that it was lying in the infirmary all this time. I can't believe that the struggle we went through, to heal Seifer is going to end tonight. I just can't believe that everything is going to work out for us!

One thing that's puzzling me though is...Dr. Kadowaki. I still don't understand why she didn't give it to us.

.

Closing the book, I quietly walked to Seifer, and tapped him.

"I have a surprise for you! You won't believe what I found! But...You have to be awake to find it."

He stayed silent...his eyes still closed.

I laughed.

"Come on Seifer...wake up! Look!"

I shook his hand, quickly.

"I have the cure!"

Pointing to the blue light...my heart slowly dropped.

No, no....Please God no.

I sat there silently, and assured myself they he needed a few more minutes to sleep.

I suddenly realized that in this unsoundness, I couldn't hear Seifer breathing...just the incoming tide, and my head caving in.

Notes: Sorry this chapter took so long to come out. I'm coming down with something, and I'm barely able to sit here. I keep wanting to crash down onto the keyboard. I don't know what's wrong! The space between my eyebrows is really beginning to ache, and I am so dizzy.

I'm going to lay down for a bit. I hope you enjoyed this chapter...I really wish I had enough strength to start 26 now. *Sniff*

Please make me a happy camper, and review.
