Ah, I'm back again. Not much to say here this time, just enjoy, I guess.
I felt awake, but knew I wasn't. The sound of repeated knocking on the door could be heard, but it was like it wasn't really happening, like it was all some kind of dream. "Yuna, are you awake?" came Lulu's voice.
My eyes slowly opened. I yawned, and then replied with, "Lulu? What time is it?" She sighed in relief; "Finally, I thought you were dead in there." She said. "Oh, it's 6 AM." I grumbled to myself, "Why do I always have to get up early? Can't I at- least spend the last months of my life getting well deserved rest?" "What's that Yuna?" Lulu asked curiously. "Nothing." I quickly answered. "Okay. I'm going to see about breakfast. Come out when you're ready." She said, before promptly leaving her spot by the door.
I got up from my place on the floor. For a minute I wondered why I was there in the first place, then I remembered the little meeting between Auron and I last night. I sighed angrily to myself, how could he say such things to me? Was I really that to him, just a summoner to 'throw away' like all of the rest?
I sat myself down on the bed sluggishly; I grabbed a pillow and held it to my chest. I cradled it in my arms, hoping that holding onto it would bring the parts of me that were torn back together again. 'That will never happen, you already sold your life short. Remember?' came a voice in my head. "No," I said quietly to myself. "I'm not gone yet.I don't want to just disappear!" I said, as I clutched the pillow tighter to myself.
I heard a knock on the door; it came gently, like a sign that someone else knew about my problems, and had came to help immediately.
"Who's there?" I asked tiredly. To my surprise Kimahri had answered me with: "It is me, Yuna. Can you let me in? I need talk with you." I got up from my sitting position on the bed and answered the door.
"Hello Kimahri, what is it you would like to discuss?" I asked, trying my best not to sound sleep-deprived. "I want ask you about Sir Auron." He said, looking to the left out of the corner of his eye, apparently keeping watch on something. "Yes, what about Auron?" I replied. "Why was he in your room last night? He left looking angry. what happened?" I paused for a minute, eyeing the window as I thought about what to tell him. "Well.?" he said, anticipating my answer to his question. "Um, well. he came in last night because he wished to discuss my marriage to Maester Seymour." "Is that all?" he said, as if he was searching for some specific piece of information. "Yes, that's about it." I said. "Kimahri, would you mind leaving me while I get dressed?" I asked. Without answering, he left his place by the door and walked away.
I closed the door, thinking about how weird his visit made me feel. I mean, Kimahri, of all people wanting to know what had happened last night? Well, nothing really happened, nothing I was very proud of anyway.
In not so high spirits, I washed my face and combed my hair out. I glanced one last time into the mirror at my tired, pale face. I turned away in disgust, for I didn't feel like looking into the eyes of a soon to be dead woman.
When I came out into the Lobby no one acknowledged my presence, they went about their endless banter and occasional tea sipping. Auron was as usual, standing right by the door, probably waiting for me to come out so that we could leave. 'That's all he ever wants to do, leave. Anywhere we are that's always his agenda.'
"Shall we move on now to our next destination?" I said to my comrades. They all nodded, no one even saying a simple 'good morning' to me.
The rest of the way through the Thunder plains passed almost unnoticed by everyone, even Rikku, who had usually just wanted to complain and slow us down.
I thought of it as a good thing. As I did not want to stay in the loud, frighteningly risky place any longer than I had to.
We arrived at the Macalania woods sooner than to be expected. Rikku commented on how pretty the ice looked. I thought it looked like plain ice, not much else. But that's how the world seemed to look when you knew you wouldn't be on it much longer. I always tried to keep myself as cheery as possible. I never wanted to burden anyone with my problems, my needs, or my desires. I felt in my heart that they wouldn't care anyway.
I was broke out of my thoughts when Rikku started to tap me on the shoulder repeatedly like a child. "Yes?" I asked, annoyed by her sudden invasion into my thought process. She smiled warmly, "Yunie, there's a big animal with a snake's tail and stuff! Don't you think it's cute?" she asked, unaware that it was none other than a Chimara Brain.
"Auron, there's a fiend over here!" I yelled. "Hey!" Rikku said. "He's a friend!" Just then, it smacked her aside with its tail! She fell with a thud to the icy ground below. I ran to her side worriedly, hoping that nothing was wrong.
Auron killed the fiend effortlessly by thrusting his blade in an upward fashion, sending it strait through the creature's neck and into its head. Blood gushed from the wound, streaming down over Auron's blade.
He smiled smugly, obviously satisfied with his result. He calmly walked over to where Rikku and I were sitting. She was still unconscious from the fall, he knelt beside her, and he took her into his arms. He snatched the jug he kept on his hip and he slowly poured some of its contents into her open mouth. She awoke from the liquids in her mouth, she spit it out almost immediately, I guess she didn't like the taste much.
She gazed up into Auron's eyes, and suddenly wrapped her arms around him. He in-turn, wrapped his around her shaking form. "Oh Auron, thank you so much. I thought I was a goner." She said, in a sexy tone of voice.
Stood up disgusted. "Well, are you two going to sit there all day? We have places to go and people to meet." I grumbled. They seemed to be locked in each other's arms, because they didn't hear a thing I said. I sighed angrily and stomped off.
Oh, what's in store for the next chapter? Will Auron come after her, or will he get cozy with Rikku? Review!
I felt awake, but knew I wasn't. The sound of repeated knocking on the door could be heard, but it was like it wasn't really happening, like it was all some kind of dream. "Yuna, are you awake?" came Lulu's voice.
