Chapter 12: no concern
My cheek pressed against the glass. I was a little tired but I wanted to stay awake. My eyes closed a bit and before I knew it I was asleep like a rock. I woke up to the screeching wheels suddenly coming to a stop. " Whoa, what is going on?" I asked alert. Steiner and Dagger were gone and Marcus was too. " Captain, what is going on?" " There is something out there!" He yelled. I sighed and walked out of the door. I expected to see an animal or something but I saw the Black waltz #3! Everyone was low on life so I cured him or her all unexpectedly. " Heather, I thought you were asleep!" Steiner said. " Well I woke up so now we can finish this stupid mage off!" I said. Marcus hit poorly, but Steiner hit with tremendous power and killed the waltz in one hit! We did our little victory dance thing; Marcus just stood there and tried looked all powerful, which he wasn't. We got back into the cab and everything ran smoothly from there. The cab finally came to a stop and we made it to the other gate thing. We showed them our ticket. " Yes you may pass, but have you seen a beautiful young girl or a knight?" " Uh.no." We all said as the gate opened. We walked out of the gate and we talked as we walked. " Hey, he said girl and a knight right?" I asked. " Yah," Marcus replied. " He didn't say anything about a private or another girl." I said. " Does that mean that the queen doesn't really care if I return?" " I am sure she wants you back as much as she wants Steiner." Dagger said. " I hope your right." Zidane and crew made it to Clerya. " That it? It no look like city to me." Quina said. " Clerya is inside the tornado, the whole reason it is inside is because of intruders." Freya said. " This is where we go next, right?" Vivi asked. " Right, all we need to do is go inside the whirl wind." Freya announced. We made it to Treno, the city that never sleeps. I never saw anyplace like it, I never actually knew there was a city like this. We all went our separate ways, Dagger went with Marcus, Steiner went alone and I went alone. I went to the auction house where they were bidding on a Rat tail. " Man, who would be stupid enough to buy a rat tail?" I thought peering at all the auctioneers. I looked up to the balcony where I saw a tall man with silver hair. " Who is that? Why does he look so familiar?" I asked myself as the man shot me a deadly smile. " Inside that?" Vivi asked. " Yes, then we will press forward to the top and meet the king of Bermicia." Freya said as she walked right inside. Zidane and the others followed. Once they got inside they saw nothing but sand and dust caves. " Doesn't look like any city to me." Zidane said. " C'mon we aren't even there yet!" Freya said as two Alexandrian soldiers came running to us. I stood in a fighting stance to show him I was no coward and that I was tough enough to handle anything. He showed no fear as well but he didn't act like I did. I then saw him stand up; he flicked his silvery hair back like he was trying to imitate my victory dance. I held out my fists to him and he disappeared. It was like he knew me.I don't get it. I stood in a trance for a while; just staring at where he sat and never blinked once. I soon snapped back into reality and looked around to the auctioneers. " Topaz going once!" the auction man yelled. I looked at the gleaming jewel in his hands and I saw an image of Ifrit inside. "Why all these guards coming?" Quina said as they all reached Clerya. " I don't know.I am surprised they know about this place." Freya said. " Welcome Freya!" One man said walking towards them. " Come, you all look weary.come rest in the inn." The man said pointing to the building in back of him. " Uh, I'll just stay outside." Vivi said. " Ahh! You are one of them!" The man yelled in horror. " No I am not! I won't cause any harm!" Vivi said. The man loosened up a bit but still was afraid. Zidane stretched and said, " Well, I am going to get some shut eye!" " I stay," Quina said. " Me too," Freya said. " Okay, suit yourselves." Zidane said walking into the inn. Vivi walked around Clerya getting the same response from everyone. " Mommy! Help! It is one of them!" and " You!" " No, I am not one of them! Please, I won't hurt anyone!" Vivi would reply over and over again.
Quina walked around Clerya, hoping to find some good food (Frogs) to eat. She, finding no success decided to talk to someone. " Hi, you got yummies?" She would ask. " Yummies?" The people thought. " You have no Yummies?! We cook you for breakfast!" Quina yelled getting out her fork. " Whoa! How did you do that?!" I yelled running up to the auction man. " What?" " How did you get that image of Ifrit on that Topaz?" The man looked at the Jewel all over. " I don't see anything." He replied. " What ever! How much you want for it?" I asked. " 10,000 Gil." " 10,000! That is a lot for a jewel don't you think?" " C'mon take it or leave it." " Okay, I'll pay your stupid fine." I said fishing in my pockets. " 11,000 Gil!" An auctioneer yelled. " Oh you want this jewel? Well, this one is mine!" I yelled. " Bring it on!"
