Chapter- Five

Title- My Snow Angel.

Zell awoke to the ticking of his clock. He blinked and it was still dark even when it was only one in the afternoon. He rested his forearm on his forehead and frowned. " It's already near christmas....what should I do?" he pondered.

"Zell, breakfast is being served," Quistis said through the door.

Zell got out of bed and changed then opened the door and strode downstairs. His hands trembled as he walked into the dining room. Selphie wasn't there but Sibil and Quistis were busy eating silently. Zell took his seat next to Sibil and he felt Quistis's eyes on him as he sat down, but he took no notice by looking back at her. "Good morning, Zell," Sibil said quietly.

"Good morning...both of you," he replied and looked up.

Quistis took her gaze away and stood up. "Well, I have work to do. I'll see you two later," she said abruptly.

She then left in a hurry and Sibil stood. "I need to take a shower," she murmered and left the table.

Zell ate slowly as he pondered on why the girls were in a hurry to get away from him. He knew the reason Quistis was being distant but Sibil was another story, he actually wanted to be near her today. Zell wanted to hold her, to actually kiss her for the first time and to just be with her all the time now. "Did I do something wrong?" he inquired and took a deep breath before he stood up.

Twenty minutes have passed and the sound of running water hadn't come to his ears. Zell walked up the stairs and stood near the bathroom door. "Sibil?" he inquired.

There was no response and Zell let himself in. The site inside the bathroom made him step back. A dozen or so feathers were scattered on the floor amidst some snow from the open window. Blood also stained the floor by the sink. "SIBIL!!!!" he cried and almost jumped out the window.

A flash of light sent him back into the hallway and the image of Aisha appeared. She gazed at him long and hard. "Do not worry yourself, love. For Sibil is in my safe hands...and I will not let her or myself die today. You see...your life is in danger, my love. And I am the one to do this task," she said with a frown.

"But, why is there blood?!" Zell inquired.

"The pain of the past always finds us...it has a grip on us that is so strong we can't even breathe sometimes. You can understand where I'm getting to...I'm leaving for my past, to settle it once and for all. Please...don't follow me..for you may know where I am going."

A large gash was on Aisha's collarbone and Zell reached for her, his hand only passed through the image. "Are you coming back!?"

"I'm not sure....but...I will die for you before anything else...my love..," she replied with a crooked smile.

Zell wanted to hold, kiss and comfort her. He kissed the image and it faded to the floor as angel dust. Sparkles of gold and silver were sent around the room as the wind gusted into the house. "I must find her....Liberil Fatalia...that is where my destination is," Zell murmered and rushed to the front door.

The two great danes stood fast as Zell rushed to the door. "You two stay put...I'm going to find Si..I mean, Aisha!" Zell ordered to the dogs.

He then rushed out of the house into the bitter cold without a jacket.

Selphie watched this as tears slid down her cheeks. "Aisha....you can't do this to him...," she murmered and closed her eyes.

~ Liberil Fatalia ~

Aisha walked towards the huge palace and a man stepped out on the doorstep. A man with long hair and bewitching eyes. "Aisha...I knew you were coming," he said as Aisha neared the him.

"I've come to kill you, you know that, don't you?" Aisha inquired as she dragged her wing along the snowy floor.

"Yes, I know that because I've been following you. But, I'm not the one who is going to die..it is you who is going to die."

Laguna smiled crookedly but Aisha only shook her head. "No! I will destroy you for what you did to me! What you made me do and what I regret doing..I've hurt my love by killing his brother and father! Now it's your turn to face fate's sword...to face destiny like it should have been so long ago!"

Wings burst out of Laguna's back, pure black wings that had red tips. Aisha frowned," you've hidden your true form all this time...haven't you?"

"Yes! I used you so I could work on my own abilities of manipulation!" Laguna thundered as his hair turned crimson red and his eyes became pools of darkness.

"You are Yumasu! The angel of Darkness!"

Laguna flew forward but Aisha dodged his advance. The two soared into the sky and Laguna unsheathed a black scyth. " You shouldn't run away from your long awaited death, Aisha! Angel of Snow!" he implied.

Aisha unsheathed her own weapons, both attached themselves on her wrists and she frowned. "My death will only bring destruction from you!"

Laguna sped forward and swiped upwards, missing Aisha by a couple of inches. "Damnit! Why don't you stay still and take your death with open arms!?"

"Because..I have someone out there that I love so much..."

"Would you die for him?!"

"Yes...I will die for him."

Aisha flew towards the top of the palace but Laguna shoved her through a window and followed close behind. Aisha recovered from the blow with glass penetrating her cheeks and body. Laguna swung his scyth but missed Aisha again, she threw a punch and Laguna was sent backwards down the stairway. Aisha flew out the window and into the winter air, she caught a glimpse of something flying but took no notice. Laguna suddenly appeared and swiped at her, catching her side and left wing. Aisha screamed in agony and began to plummet towards the ground. Blood trailed behind her as she fell and stained the snow below her. She began to lose consciencness but someone caught her, someone with beautiful golden wings and hair that matched it. "...zell...," she murmered before going unconscience.

Laguna looked down and spotted a young man dressed in all white clothing, golden wings which were larger than his own body and hair of pure blonde. "Who the hell are you?!" he inquired and lightning struck down.

The young man turned and it was Zell. "I am Zell...the son of Trichune and the brother of Zellios. Both who I will avenge tonight," he replied.

Laguna frowned," don't make me laugh, boy! You've just found your wings! How can you defeat an angel like me who has been an angel for decades?!"

Zell floated and set Aisha's body on the rooftop, his face of stone expression and his posture calm. He turned to Laguna as he stood there, protecting his love. Laguna floated down and stood a few feet infront of Zell. "You won't succeed in defeating me, boy," he sneered.

"Let us find out now, Laguna. You've hurt Aisha and now you will suffer by my hands," Zell said with confidence growing in his voice.

"Yes, your death will only fuel my determination to eradicate other angels unlike me!"

"So..you were the one who massacred so many angels?"

"Yes! It was me! The most powerful angel in the world! Yumasu! Angel of Darkness!"

Zell smirked," then this battle will be easy as cheese," he implied.

Laguna frowned," You incolent boy! I will teach you a lesson you will die with, how to respect a more advanced angel in battle!"

The two readied their weapons and Zell knew this battle was to determine Aisha's life. If Laguna won, she would surely die but what if Zell won?

To Be Continued. Ah yes, a cliffhanger! If you liked this part please review so I can post more!
