Rinoa opened the doors to the basement. "Looks like the only thing that has kept intact"
"Then lets take a look, never know might have a first aid kit." They walked down the steps. Rinoa on the left her face, arms and legs covered in blood, her blue dress ripped and tears still running down her face. Seifer on the right, His clothes slightly ripped and burned, his nose and knuckles bleeding and his face white with disbelief.
"Well here we are," she opened the door and stepped in.
"Well it's a pity no one decided to come here this place looks like it is totally unaffected by the bomb."
"GO!" Two figure lunged themselves at Seifer and Rinoa.
"Seifer!" Rinoa landed on the floor hurting her already bruised back. Before she was able to get up she felt some one slap her a cross the face, atomically she slammed her fist forward hitting her attacker. "Seifer!" she called again.
Seifer could not see how he was going to win this; he was lying on his back struggling against some unknown man, definitely man, who was probably armed. Seifer felt a sudden pain and something hard connected with his jaw, with his vision clouded with pain he did not see his attack rise up to hit him again.
"Seifer!" His attack fell as a smaller figure hit into his, giving Seifer enough time to get up, ready to fight.
"No!"
Seifer fell over backwards as a fury of golden hair smacked him down to the ground.
Silence followed as the victims tried to get free, then.
Sorry
Seifer had rolled on the CD player the music filled the room.
Is it all that you can say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry
Squall got a piece of glass and was just about to stab it though her neck when the words of the song echoed in his mind, What am I doing…oh Hyne, what happened to her? Although the blood had dried on her face you could still see the tears, her left arm badly burned as well as cuts and scratches all over her body, even with all this crap about a bomb, something told Squall she wasn't the bad guy. Squall dropped the piece of glass
Rinoa turned her head waiting for the blow that was bound to come, it never came instead she felt some one help her up. She opened her eyes in surprise, why is he helping me?
"Why are you helping me?" two piecing blue eyes turned to face her.
"Is there a reason I shouldn't?"
"Umm, well, I didn't pay my library fines"
"Whatever" turned round so Rinoa could no longer see his face, "Quistis!"
Rinoa turned and saw that Seifer had picked up the piece of glass and was about to kill the blonde haired woman beneath him.
Squall lunged at Seifer pulling him off Quistis, struggling to get the glass of him.
"No! Seifer Stop!" called Rinoa as Quistis pushed her against the wall, "What the hell do you what?"
"What happened here, what did you do to my home?" spat Quistis
"I didn't do any thing," squeaked Rinoa
"Bullshit" Quistis flung her against what she thought was a wall but the wall collapsed as they hit against it sending both girls falling into the next room.
"Rinoa!"
"Quisty!"
Both boys forgot what they were doing and raced towards the crumbled wall.
"Quistis!" Squall started scrambling around in the rubble. "Quistis?"
"Here" Quistis came out of the rubble dripping wet, "There was a little accident, involving water"
"Correction a lot of water" Rinoa came up out of the rubble also dripping wet. "Err, I think we should get out of here."
Squall and Seifer looked at each other resentfully,
He tried to kill Rinoa
Why should I forgive him?
Why should I forgive him?
"Come on Seifer, him," Rinoa pointed to Squall, "Whatever his name is"
"Squall"
"Thanks, he's okay he helped me, trust him please and um, Squall, trust Seifer he didn't have to help me but he did so…"
"Just stop acting like kids and come on." Quistis butted in.
Squall and Seifer still looked at each other bitterly but followed Quistis and Rinoa upstairs ignoring the water that was starting to collect at their feet.
"Why is exactly is there water on the floor" inquired Seifer,
"Well" said Rinoa sheepishly, "We kind of bumped into a pipe and it burst, come on"
As they opened the door a familiar smell reached them again the smell of burning flesh and screams reached their ears.
"And it starts again" Seifer voice shook as they reach the first floor.
"Come on that room looks vaguely stable," she pointed to a room on the far left. The walls were cracked, the ceiling sloping downwards and the windows glass shattered by the rocks on the other side of it but you could still see the basic shape and the door was still intact leading into the next room.
Seifer kicked a bit of smouldering wallpaper out of the way. "Home sweet home" he joked. He dropped the stereo on the room and sat down on the broken couch.
"Why are you carrying that?" asked Quistis pointing to the stereo sitting down on something that looked like it could have been a beanbag.
"So we can hear the news and find out what's happening, duh"
"So lets hear it," stated Squall mockingly as sat on the other end of the couch leaving Rinoa resting against the doorway.
"Fine," Seifer turned on the Stereo and tuned into a hear,
Today the world was shocked as a bomb was set off in a
block of flats Deiling City.
It is reported that over 300 people have been killed over
100 of them children.
Rescue workers have been working all day but are now
losing hope of finding survivors. As the hurricane that was forecast is
threatening to stop any chance of finding survivors. It is also believed that
Bethany Delifatti the main witness in a murder case is dead. The police believe
that it was a foreign terrorist bombing but are unable to say at the moment.
Our hearts go out to the friends and family of the victims.
Also today…
Seifer turned of the stereo; an icy silence filled the room. Rinoa walk to the window then, "Dam you! Dam you god! I hate you! You hear me, I! Hate! You!" She sunk down to the floor and started to sob uncontrollably.
"We're going to die," said Quistis in monotone.
"No we're not it's going to be okay" reasoned Squall walking over to Quistis and awkwardly putting his arm round her.
"Yes, we're going to be okay," said Seifer taking Squall's lead and going over to comfort Rinoa. "We're stronger then this"
"How, how are we stronger than this, this killed my best friend, it destroyed a high security building, how are we stronger then this?" sobbed Rinoa "It's hopeless"
"No, it's not there is probably a kitchen through there we have food and water, especially in the basement, we're going to be okay, they're not going to stop looking for survivors and we will be waiting."
"Seifer's right, Rinoa, we can do this, what do you say,"
"I'm thirsty" she stood up and pushed the door open and walked into the next room.
"I'll go with her," Squall stood up and followed her.
Seifer grinned widely.
"What?" asked Quistis seeing Seifer grinning like an idiot.
"Nothing, nothing,"
"Tell me"
"You wouldn't be interested"
"Yes, I would. Tell Me!"
"Fine, I was just imagining when we get out of here we're going to be famous, right?"
"Right"
"So, we're going to be on loads of chat shows"
"And?"
"Squall on a chat show, just imagine it," he put on a mock voice, "Now Mr, err, Squall how did you feel in that building next to the amazing Seifer Almasy fighting for your life?" he put on a mock Squall voice "…Shut up,"
"Now Really Squall that's not very professional"
"…Shut up"
Quistis giggled, it was scary now Squall -like he was, "Shut up, any way he is way more likely to say whatever"
Seifer laughed, then a thought that had been nagging him in the back of his mind came to him, "How come you were in the basement?"
Quistis was taken aback a bit by the question "There was a hurricane warning so we took shelter in the basement only most people didn't come here because there was a false alarm last week."
Seifer frowned, as familiar feeling crept over him.
"What?"
"I was just wondering what would happen if the hurricane did come," he shook of the feeling, "Still it probably won't happen"
"Do you think there are any clothes left in there?" Seifer enquired smirking.
"You know there's only one way to find out."

Rinoa looked around the kitchen. The tiles on the wall where cracked and bits of plaster were falling of the ceiling, door of cabinets had been ripped off and the curtains around the window were on fire.
Home Sweet Home.
She bent over to turn on the taps.
"There not going to work" Rinoa jumped as she heard the voice behind her. "Remember you burst the pipes,"
"Oh yeah, I forgot" She looked around the kitchen "but I'm thirsty!"
A scream came form the next room.
