Quistis watched the two walk down the hall, and waited until they were out of sight, then stepped out of the bushes. She had always hated Seifer, he was the main reason she lost her instructor's liscence in the first place. And she had sworn that, one day, she would have her revenge. As the thought crossed her mind she smiled, and evil smile at that. Because if Seifer was caught inside Garden, he was to be executed, along with any accomplises...meaning Silvur, Fujin, and Raijin. She headed out the training center, and back to the party to alert Squall and the headmaster of Seifer's presence within the garden.
She found them in the ballroom, Squall, Headmaster Cid, Edea, and Rinoa were all sitting at a table, and looked up at her as she approached.
Headmaster Cid smiled. "Well, hello Quistis. How are you this evening?"
"Sir, I have something important to tell you. It's about Seifer Almasy, he's here in the garden." She said in a low voice, so only those at the table could hear.
His face grew angry, along with Squall's. "What?...That no good, son-of-a-bitch."
Edea looked at the headmaster. "Cid! Shame on you. How can you speak of him like that, you and I practically raised him, along with the others."
He just ignored her. "Where is he now?"
"I'm assuming Silvur Almasy's room, I saw him leaving the training center with her a few minutes ago. I'm guessing that's how he got in here."
Cid nodded. "I want him and her, and if Raijin and Fujin are there, them too, to be seized and taken to the holding cells on level B1. I will have them executed first thing in the morning."
Rinoa and Edea looked at Cid, Rinoa was the first to speak up. "Sir, Silvur is one of your best SeeDs, why are you going to kill her?"
He slammed his fist on the table and glared at her and Edea. "She is a traitor, she will be executed on the account of treason!"
People in the ballroom were starting to stare at them, wondering what the commotion was all about. Cid looked to Quistis and Squall, then leaned over and whispered. "I want to to take Irvine, Selphie, and Zell, and a few other SeeDs...then go to her dorm and apprehend them. By force if necessary."
They both nodded, then went off to find the others. After they explained everything to the others, they left the ballroom and headed for the dorms.
Quin, Alex, and Autumn were standing near the exit talking, when they saw Squall and the others pass them, all with serious looks on their faces. Quin turned to the others. "What's going on? Did you see the looks on their faces?"
Alex nodded. "Yeah, they looked really pissed. I wonder what's up?"
Autumn smirked. "Let's go find out."
The two guys looked at each other and shrugged. "Why not? This party totally sucks ass anyway."
"Yeah, c'mon." With that they turned and followed behind the SeeDs, staying farther back so they wouldn't be noticed.
Silvur, Seifer, Raijin, and Fujin were sitting in the living area watching TV. Seifer and Fujin were on the couch, while Silvur and Raijin were playing a game of Triple Triad cards on the floor, everynow and then one of them getting excited over winning a good card. They were about to start another hand when, all of a sudden, the door to Silvur's dorm burst open, and Squall, Quistis, Selphie, Irvine, Zell, and some other SeeDs charged in, hitting each of them over the head and knocking them out cold before they could even move to defend themselves.
Squall ordered the other SeeDs to carry them to the holding cells, each one grabbing a person, two had to carry Raijin. Squall looked around the room, then turned to escort the SeeDs to the cells, incase they woke up and caused a rucus.
Quin and the others saw Squall and some other SeeDs carry Silvur and some other people out of the dorms, heading for the elevator. He turned to his friends. "What the hell is going on?"
Autumn shrugged. "Beats me. Let's see where they are taking them."
The other's nodded in agreement, and they left their hiding place and followed the others, watching them take Silvur and the other's down to level B1. Alex went to walk up to the elevator, but was stopped by Quin. "Wait until they come back up. We'll run less chance of getting caught."
"Alright."
Quin sighed, and jumped when they heard someone behind them. They all turned around to see Edea and Rinoa standing behind them. Quin spoke up. "Uhh..umm..Mrs. Kramer. We were just..umm..."
Edea looked them over. "It's okay. We were going to sneak down there once they left as well. I guess we'll just go together."
Autumn stepped forward, and said nervously, "Mrs. Edea, what's going on? Why did they take Silvur down there? And who are those other people?"
This time Rinoa spoke up. "Silvur has been accused of treason against garden, because she was seen talking to those people, who happen to be Seifer Almasy and his posse."
Alex's eyes widened. "But..isn't the punishment for treason...death?"
Edea nodded slowly. "Yes, it is. That's why we were going to help them escape. Seifer might have done some bad things, but I helped raise him and he was like a son to me, and I just can't bear to see him die."
The elevator beeped and they ducked into the Infirmary, and waited for
the others to pass and enter the ballroom once again before going down to the holding cells. They took the elevator down to the B1 level. Once arriving, they had to walk down a long corridor, and after a while they reached the holding cells. They immediately spotted Silvur and the others in the first cell, each of them sitting up, holding their heads.
Silvur looked up when the door opened, and was surprised to see Quin, Alex, Autumn, Rinoa, and even Edea Kramer enter. She stood up, leaning against the wall to help her regain her balance, and looked at them. And was even more suprised when Rinoa used her sorceress powers to blow the lock off the door, and opened it. Edea entered and walked over to them. "Are all of you alright?" She knelt down next to Seifer and examined the bump on his head, then turned to Rinoa. "Can you cure them?"
Rinoa nodded. "Yeah." She walked over to Seifer and placed a hand his head, then after a few seconds removed it. She then walked over to Silvur and did the same, and on to Raijin and Fujin.
Silvur looked at Edea. "Mrs. Kramer, why are you helping us? Not to mention going against your husbands orders?"
She simply looked at Silvur. "I raised most of these children, and I can't bear to see them die." She walked over to Silvur and took her hand, placing a large amount of Gil in her hand. "Here is enough Gil to buy each of you a train ticket to Dollet, and to find you an apartment, along with some money for food." She turned away from them and walked to the cell door. "C'mon, we must hurry before they come to check up on you. Quin, Alex, Autumn. You lead the way and if anyone comes, find some way to distract them."
The three nodded and headed back to the elevator. Edea and Rinoa lead the escapees to the parking lot of the garden, and before they got into the car, she grabbed Silvur's arm. "Look, whatever you do...don't ever come back to Balamb...or garden. Also, try and lay low for awhile, there are most likely going to be SeeDs out hunting you. Now GO!" She practically shoved Silvur in the car.
She started the engine and looked back at Edea and the others, before putting it in gear and heading out of garden, towards Balamb. After about 10 minutes she parked the car outside Balamb, and 20 minutes later they were on the train bound for Dollet. Silvur looked out the window, wondering what they were going to do next, because now, just like her cousin and his friends.....she was an outlaw.
