Chapter 17: Trust me
The elevator plunged down with enormous speed. I got off at the middle drop off before the elevator brought me almost to my Death or Major injuries. I took a sigh of relief but before I knew it the mages came surrounding me! " Dang it! Surrounded!" I said backing off to where the elevator used to be. " Kill! Kill!" The mages said coming closer and me backing closer to the giant hole. Just as I thought I lost hope I heard Zidane come!" Let Heather go you (Beep)!" " Kill!" the Mages said turning the other way. I stepped back a little bit still a little freaked out. I suddenly lost my balance and my arms flailed backwards. I had fallen off the edge when Zidane lunged forward and grabbed one of my arms. " Wow, thanks!" I said trying to grab his hand with another hand. Zidane tried to pull me up but it was no use. " Zidane! Just let go of my hand," I said. Our hands were both sweaty from holding each other so long. " Just give me your other hand!" He said. My hands were slipping, " Zidane.trust me! If you just grab a rope and toss one end down everything will be fine!" Zidane's hands were slipping also and I knew this moment had to end. " Goodbye." I said as my hand slipped off his and I fell into the hole. I landed on a pile of electric rubble. I tried to get up but I felt a sharp pain in my leg. Dang it.I sprained my ankle! I saw the rope come down and I couldn't reach it without standing up. "Grab the rope!" Zidane yelled. " I can't!" I yelled back up to him. " Why not?!" " I sprained my ankle!" " Don't worry I'm coming to get you!" (Zidane, Vivi and Dagger talking)
" Zidane! Are you crazy?" Dagger said as Zidane was ready to jump. " I have to go get her, she sprained her ankle." " Be careful Zidane!" Vivi said. " Don't worry I'll be alright!" Zidane said jumping off into the hole. I waited for a while until I saw Zidane coming out of the hole. " You okay Heather?" He asked. I nodded and he put me on his back. " I am sorry you have to come down here and get me Zidane." I said as he started climbing the rope. " No problem, you save me I save you." Oh that is right, I forgot all about the Airship. " Well anyway, I think you are.really brave." I said. Zidane stayed quiet. " Well anyway.thank you. This is the first time I have been rescued." We made it to the top of the hole. " Heather are you okay?" Vivi asked. " Yah, I am fine just a sprain." I said. " Lets get you to an Inn or something." Zidane said. " Not unless my Eidolon destroyed that too." I mumbled. " So why did you run away to here Heather?" Dagger asked. " .I just felt like doing something. I thought maybe since it was my eidolon I could control it. I just felt so bad because I put more pain on people not just the Cleryians." " Heather you have to stop putting so much pressure on yourself. So it was your Eidolon.but you weren't the one controlling it." Zidane said. " I know I am pressuring myself but I just can't help it.just the fact that I can't do anything to stop it is pain enough." I thought as we went to see the Regent. " C'mon Heather lighten up! Just think of positive things." Zidane said. " Like what?" I asked. " Well you are still alive aren't you?" " Yah, your right," I said finally putting on a little smile. " Trust me, there is more to life then the bad things! You have to live life to the fullest!" He said. " Food is a good thought!" Vivi said. " Ha, Ha Vivi you're starting to sound like Quina!" Zidane laughed. " Quina? Who is that?" I asked. " Oh just someone we met when we split up." " I am not even going to ask." I thought to myself suspecting that it was Zidane's girlfriend. We met up with the Regent who was standing outside the castle. " Oh Cid I am glad your safe!" Dagger said. " Yes gwok I am fine but my poor city is destroyed." I wanted to say something but I decided I would just shut up until someone was talking to me. " What happened to you?" The regent suddenly asked me. " Oh, testing out your elevator.it broke on me." I said. " So my ankle is sprained." The Regent nodded his head. The conversation went on for an hour or so and I fell asleep. I woke up at the inn. I looked around to see everyone gone. I then saw a letter on the table next to me. " hmm what is this?" I asked leaning over on the bed to grab it. Not only did I see a letter I saw a red rose also! " Wow, a rose!" I thought to myself. I picked up the rose and smelled it. " It smells wonderful!" Next I grabbed the letter. I scanned through the letter and I was shocked and overall angered by what it said.
