Author's note: Sorry for the long wait you guys! I was busy for the whole summer. Anyway, what happens between Seifer and Quistis after losing their baby you ask? Well, find out on this chapter!
Chapter 12 - The Task At Hand
He paced around the room waiting impatiently for Matron to come out of the room and wondered what exactly happened to Quistis. She had collapsed in his arms after crying so hard that it pained him to see her like that. Worried, he lifted her up in his arms and carried her back to Ragnarok.
Ignoring the others that waited with him for Quistis' condition, Seifer seated himself on the seat closest to the door that she slept in before. He had his Hyperion leaned on his chair between his legs, while he looked directly through the wall, his eyes simply locked in a daze. His shoulders were slouched. His right arm was draped behind his chair, while the other just placed palm down on the empty chair beside him.
Meanwhile, Squall and Rinoa sat side by side on the other side of the room on a leather couch that cling to Rinoa's bare legs. Squall had his arms on the top of the sofa behind Rinoa, thinking about how Seifer and Quistis ended up having a baby. Did they do this for stupid reasons? Were they severely drunk? Or was it just passion that got to them?
Rinoa thought the same thing. She leaned close to Squall. "What do you think happened between them? Why do you think they have a child together?"
"Rinoa...." Squall started, putting a hand on her nervous ones. He leaned close so only they could only hear. "I think the questions should be asked towards Seifer and Quistis, but now.... now is not the time here. They've been through a lot together."
Rinoa nodded, sighing in defeat. She turned to Zell and Selphie sitting on two other chairs to her left, with their hands intertwined. She could understand how the two got together. Selphie and Irvine didn't work out, since Irvine enjoyed the company of all women instead of being committed to his girl friend. Fed up, Selphie decided to break up with him. Zell also had his own problems. He and girl friend, the library girl, Amber, were having difficulty of keeping their relationship. Zell was busy with his missions as a SeeD, while Amber stayed in Balamb to watch over the library. They were always apart. Amber admitted she was jealous that Selphie was more attached to Zell during their missions. She knew something was going on. She left him one night while he was training and found a guy who could make her laugh. She knew that she wanted someone else. She also wanted Zell to move on as well. After a long argue, the two finally came to a conclusion that they were never meant to be. Zell and Amber went on with their lives. During Zell's depression of losing Amber, Selphie was there to comfort him. She was always there to make him smile and laugh. It took them a week until they realized they were in love with each other. Since then, they have been inseparable. For Rinoa, that was easy to believe. But to see Quistis and Seifer making love and having a child together was hard to concieve in her mind. It felt more like a fantasy than reality.
****************
Quistis tossed and turned on her bed. If only she never went down to the pier that night. If only she never met Seifer there. If only it didn't rain to show her bare breasts that brought Seifer's hormones to the next level. If only his hair wasn't wet, that turned Quistis on. That night brought passion between them, but she was confused of what it really was. They were both alone. They both lost the people that they loved. And they were both underneath the romantic moonlight. She never realized then how much she loved him, eventhough it took a year to realize it. When she noticed him holding President Deling in captive, she felt pain. She didn't want Seifer to go this far as to make a stupid action. Seifer was a great fighter, a great man, and also an arrogant person who was someone who couldn't control his temper. She still remembered the last time she looked at him in the eyes after the night of love making. His eyes were full of guilt and sorrow. Pain was the majority of the anguish he felt inside. She felt his pain and his guilt when her body touched with his. She felt his longing to be with someone and the emptiness he felt inside for not being with anyone for a long time. The only conclusion to her questions that clouded her mind of how it happened between them was simply a logical answer that most people, especially her friends, hard to believe. They were in love. She tossed and turned once again, moaning Alexis' name, followed by her calls for Seifer. A damp cloth around her face was the only thing that calmed her down back to normal sleep.
****************
Seifer closed his eyes, pressing two fingers at the bridge of his nose. Frustration was getting to him. There had to be a way to get Alexis back!
"I think I know a way," a soft voice murmured.
He looked up, gasped at the sight of a young woman and jumped up in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
Everyone looked up, all their heads crooked towards Seifer in confusion. He was seen speaking to air in front of him. They looked at each other, before turning their gaze towards the crazed man.
"What's wrong with him?" Zell asked, arching an eyebrow towards the blond.
Everyone shrugged. No one wanted to stand up and ask him why he was talking to a wall, since Seifer had a temper if anyone called him 'crazy.' Instead, they continued to watch as Seifer continued to listen to nothing and speaking to nothing.
The woman moved closer, nodding her head gently. "Don't speak too loud, Seifer. They can't see me. Only you can." She placed a hand on his shoulder. "There may be a way to bring Alexis back, but it will take some time."
Seifer took a deep breath and sat back down. "We have all the time in the world," he muttered under his breath.
She sat down beside him. "We have to open the gate that Lucia passed through. This gate is a relm that keeps people from going in or going out, unless a powerful Sorceress or someone who cold withstand the powers of a Sorceress opens the gate."
Seifer looked up at her, curiosity gleaming in his eyes. "I can witshstand any powers of the Sorceress."
The woman nodded. "I understand that Seifer, but you need something to help me open the gate. I need a stone that can help boost my powers up to the next level so that I could have enough powers to send you there. But it will only be an hours time that you can get Alexis away from Lucia's clutches."
"I can do anything, Ellone!" Seifer pronnounced, trying not to shout so his friends could hear. "Tell me where this stone is and I'll get it for you."
"I have to warn you first, Seifer. This will only be a once and a life time opportunity. If you fail, the gate will be closed forever and you'll never see Alexis again," Ellone said, standing up.
Seifer followed her lead, standing up. "Never again?"
"Not forever, but it will be long until she will be able to return and she will never be the same again." Ellone's figure was fading. "The stone is located west of Centra in an underwater cavern that hasn't been seen for centuries. The stone is an oblong-shaped grey coloured item with a Dragon mark on it. This stone is called, Dragon Energy. Be warned, Seifer, that there are many monsters that you haven't faced during your missions. They are far more dangerous and cunning than what you face on land. Once you have the stone, go to Esthar where I'll be and we'll speak to Odin. I have to go now, Seifer."
"What do you mean Alexis will never be the same?" Seifer chased after her disappearing form, mumbling the question, until she was nowhere in sight. He hadn't realized then, that he was standing directly in front of the gang, with curious looks going his way. He ignored their confused glanced and turned back to his seat, where he thought about what Ellone had said.
After a few more minutes, the door opened. Matron stepped out of the room and looked at Seifer, who was looking at her with a questioning glance. Matron smiled, opening the door wider for him and stepping aside.
"She's looking for you," she told him. Seifer nodded, stepping inside and closing the door behind him.
His heart ached for the first time seeing Quistis laying there. Her eyes closed with certain pain and her head kept thrashing about, as if trying to shake something that was sitting on top of her head. Seifer reached her the second later, placing a bare hand, which he voluntarily took his glove off to feel her, on her face. Quistis eventually calmed down at his touch and her eyes fluttered opened. She sat up quickly and, to Seifer's surprise, wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest. She wasn't crying, but her face held a crimson of hopelessness and defeat. Seifer rubbed his hand on her back, giving soothing words in her ears. Quistis closed her eyes once again. Seifer noticed this, gently placing her back towards the bed. He watched her breath calmly, her chest going up and down. He tucked her under the blanket and caressed her cheek. It was his first time, actually to see Quistis crying, rather than being cool about certain things. But this was not certain things. This was a problem which they have to face. Seifer took a deep breath. At first, Ellone's ideas for him to bring the stone to her and to open the gate was farfetched, since he would never go for anyone unless they were direct orders from the Headmaster. This wasn't an order from him, nor from their squad leader, namely Quistis, but this was a decision. It seems Ellone was giving him a decision to do this. A choice, perhaps, but Seifer had truthfully decided what choice he had to take. He didn't care what monsters he had to face, as long as they opened the gate, take Alexis and bring her home, back in her loving mother's arms. For the first time, he realized, Seifer Almasy felt like a different man. A man more concerned of someone's benefit, rather than being an arrogant fool, who was caught underneath a spider's web. He stood up and went for the door.
"Quistis.... I said I promised to bring her back. This is my chance to promise you that." Seifer said, closing the door behind him.
Quistis smiled, her eyes closed in comfort. Her hand plopped over the bed, revealing itself from the blanket and a lily necklace fell from her fingers and on the floor.
Author's note: How may times do I have to tell you this? Seifer and Quistis were caught in the moment in heat and passion. And if you read carefully enough at the end. The flower represents the love Seifer had at the beginning, when they were kids. Remember how the kiss they shared that night felt like they've done it before? Well, that's another reason why they felt like wanting to be together. Seifer and Quistis forgot their love for each other because of the GF's. Get it? Got it? Good! Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Read Seifer's adventure to the underwater cave on the next chapter, which needs to be written still. See ya! Please r/r!
