Chapter2: Minds of Confussion
Quistis was getting a little nervous about this whole thing. She had made her way back to Esthar and had agreed to help Seifer out in this little situation but it was a little scary.
"Are you sure this is safe?" she asked as she was hooked up to many machines that beeped and chimed and flashed.
"Zis is perfectly zafe...I think..." Dr. Odine strapped her down, there was no way out of this now.
"You think?!"
"Umm, never mind zat, you know what your supposed to do?" Quistis nodded as she re called what to do. Find Seifer's self conscious lead him back...Considering this was Seifer it was easier said then done.
"Dr. Odine everything is ready!" a voice called from across the room.
"Alright! Lets get started!" he pulled a lever without warning and the noises from the machines got louder and louder.
Quistis isn't know what was happening but it was giving her a headache. Her vision began to blur as she saw beautiful colors swirling and dancing in front of her. She wondered why they were there, was it what was going on in Seifer's mind? Then there was darkness.
She seemed to just stand there for a long time in the nothingness, she was just glad that they exercused Elvoret while she was in Centra because her nerves would be shocked from waiting.
"Okay," she whispered to herself. "I guess I just look around..." she took a few steps forward not knowing exactly what she was looking for, she couldn't even see anything!
All Quistis could do was keep walking, hoping to find something...But what if she wasn't where she needed to be? What if they messed up and sent her millions of miles away where she would never be able to find her way out of...
"As you walk in the most dismal light,
The mind the spirit begins to take flight,
For to know what is wrong is to know what is right," she knew that voice it was Seifer but where was he? Gah, she couldn't see anything in this darkness let alone find a person...Or a persons sub conscious.
"Seifer?" she called looking straight ahead.
"Dear dear instructor what brings you here?" same old Seifer, except his voice sounded sad...Even defeated?
"Seifer, where are you?"
"In the darkness is there anywhere else?" he laughed bitterly.
"Um...Yeah," there must be light around this place somewhere. "Fire!" a little ball of fire burned in her hand giving about a three or four feet radius of light.
"Smart one," he stepped into the light, Quistis couldn't help but gasp, he looked horrible. Seifer's clothes were ripped and he had cuts and bruises all over. "Wasn't expecting this huh?"
"N...Not really, what happened to you you weren't like this in the hospital," he sighed at her words.
"So I'm in a hospital?" a light smile played on his lips but it was a werey one. "Well you didn't think I would give up my mind and body without a fight did you? Needless to say I got my ass kicked."
"Oh," she didn't know what to say.
"So you never answered my question, why the hell are you here," Seifer spoke politely but in a mocking way.
"Well I have to lead you back to consciousness because Elvoret was exercised," the smile faded from his face and an angry look crossed his features.
"Instructor, instructor, what's the use? I'm an utter failure, I know it you know it even my conscious knows it, just leave me be, I'm better off alone in the darkness," she never knew that he felt that way. He couldn't lie either, he was a part of Seifer's mind he didn't need to lie.
"That isn't true, you never were a failure, you were one of my best students," he wasn't buying it.
"Bull shit."
"I'm serious, you knew the material and you were the best physical fighter out of anyone I've seen...You were just..." she couldn't think of the right thing to say. All of it was true it was just so hard to say.
"I was just a failure," nobody ever really knew Seifer had such low self esteem, he kept it hidden beneath the surface, beneath the act.
"No, you were just lost," where did that come from? Quistis didn't really thing that did she? "You never had any support in anything you did. Nobody was there for you to lead you through things and so you were lost," he didn't say anything. "And you'll stay lost if you don't come with me."
"Come with you," his whole attitude seemed to get miserable, because he knew that what she has said was true. "Do you even know where to go?"
"Of course I..." Quistis suddenly realized that she didn't have any idea where to go. There was only darkness everywhere, as far as she could see there was no way out.
"That's what I thought," he smirked, it was his defense mechanism. Quistis wondered how she was going to pull this off, what was going on in his mind...Stupid question she WAS in his mind.
"Great, just great," she sighed and put her hands on her hips.
"You know you are very pretty," he smiled in a tired way, it was so sad like he had just given up.
"Pardon?"
"I'm just speaking my mind," Quistis had obviously not expected that from Seifer.
"You should do that more often, life would probably be better," she didn't mean to say that his life was bad, she just couldn't help it she was talking to a mans mind here.
"All I ever wanted was for my dreams to become a reality, but they didn't, they won't," he looked depressed, and that's saying a lot for Seifer. He had always been so confident, he never looked so desperate like he did then.
"What dreams?" she spoke softly, sweetly, she supposed it was sympathy.
"All I wanted was to dance with somebody. Somebody who made me feel like I mattered, and if even if it was only a moment I would still be able to look back on that dance and smile," he sighed. "Of course that never happened."
Quistis felt so badly for him, if only she had known how he felt, maybe she could have helped him. If she couldn't bring him back into consciousness the least she could do was make his dream come true.
"Seifer would you like to dance?" he looked at her with suspicion, but after thinking it over he agreed.
"I would like that," he held out his hand and she excepted. Seifer held her close and she rested her head on his shoulder. Quistis liked this, this feeling of security in his strong arms. She closed her eyes dreamily and when she opened them she was back in the laboratory with people surrounding her.
