Chapter 6
I was going to hold this for lack of reviews till I discovered the leak in the basement and needed to get my frustrations out on something.
Disclaimer I do not own FF8
Seifer felt the fuzz of reality coming back. He felt like shit and he wished it was over. His eyes clearing a little bit he notices he's on a small room in a run down house. Even the dresser close to the bed he was lying on was rotting apart. Putting his hands to his eyes he remembers suddenly feeling light headed, the sensation of falling, and then waking up here. Where was here and how did he get here? Seifer and were was Serine?
Seifer forces himself into a sitting possession, his body unable to keep up Seifer passes out. During several long hours it seemed to Seifer he kept waking up and passing out again. Occasionally feeling a lot of pain, and the old woman giving him something and forcing him to drink something.
Seifer awoke his finial time in the same dark ramshackle house. Remembering the old lady he looks up at the ceiling. A cockroach crawls across the cracked ceiling. It was medium sized black cockroach and looked well fed. It seemed to be looking at him. Almost mocking him. Wait a minute where was Serine? As if reading his mind a small shoe hits the cockroach by luck. It drops down on his chest with a thump. Seifer grabs it and looks at it.
"Missing something Serine?" Seifer asks with more of a croak.
"Daddy your awake." Serine crawls on Seifer's legs. "Can you give me my shoe back?"
"No, you tossed it and it hit me so it's mine." Seifer challenges.
Serine grabs at it. "Give it back."
Seifer sits up and holds it out of her reach. He laughs at her as she jumps at it. She even tried to pull down his arm. Laughter erupts from Seifer's stomach. Drawn by the laughter the old lady walks into the room. In her hands she holds two bowls of soup.
"Give you her shoe back... You shouldn't be staining yourself so soon." The old lady scolds.
Seifer hands Serine her shoe back. Serine snatches it and hugs it not wanting her dad to tease her with it again. The old lady hands them a bowl of soup with two spoons. Looking at the soup he was surprised to see the high quality of the food. Unlike the house, the food was well taken care of. Seifer takes a small bite, the soup was good. Better then anything at the school... But nothing better then Ellone. Again the loneliness for her comes back.
"How long have I been in and out?" Seifer says lowering the bowl.
"A little over a week, you had an infection I almost lost you... And you seemed to call out for a woman named Ellone a lot." The old lady says in a softer then usual tone. "Who's Ellone?"
"Serine's mother, my wife... She was-" Seifer chokes.
"It's okay." The old lady pushes up his bowl. "Eat and get strong."
Seifer looks at the food he was no longer hungry. He was about to shove it away when a wooden spoon struck his head. Seifer grabs his head and cringes. One eye on the old lady who was shaking the wooden spoon at him. Like a scolded child Seifer eats his food. Serine chuckles as she hands her empty bowl to the old lady.
"More."
"Okay I'll get you more. Your a growing girl you need to eat alot." The lady says.
Serine smiles and bounces on the bed.
"Your a suck up ain't ya kid?" Seifer asks over his spoon.
Serine looks at Seifer with a big toothy smile. Looking to guilty to look innocent.
The day passes slowly. The old lady forces Seifer to stay in bed. Slapping him with a spoon every time he tempted to get out. Serine hopped in and out of the room. She seemed to find this place fun. And cockroaches to her became a distraction. Something to do to kill time. If Seifer didn't heal soon the old lady would have no cockroaches left to keep her company. Not to mention all the guts will be hard to get off her shoes.
In the middle of the night the old lady waddles into the room caring a large black back pack. She sits it on the floor and shakes Seifer. She watches anxiously as Seifer opened his tired eyes. He was sleeping nicely and he didn't want to be disturbed. Seifer rolls over and temps to go back to sleep. The old lady hits him with a spoon and covers his mouth as he yells at her.
"Seifer you must hurry and leave. Strangers are coming for you and there not friendly, I herd there's three woman in town looking for you." The old lady whispers.
The sleep clears from his mind and he moves from the comfort of the bed. The lady steps aside as Seifer rushes out to find his daughters room. Which was just the next door over. It took him a second to see her room was well furnished and not worn down. Serine had a lot of toys to play with. The old woman spoiled Serine, Seifer steps on sharp toy with his bare foot, a little to much to say.
Serine whimpers as Seifer picks her up. He shushes her and runs back to his room. The old lady motions for him to put her into the back pack. Which was well padded and just the right size to hold Serine comfortably. Carefully he sits her in.
The old lady disappears as he slides on his boots. She comes back with some of Serine's toys and a bowl of gooey stuff. The toys she puts in by Serine the stuff she apply's to Seifer's face covering up the scar. Then she brushes his hair down. furiously Seifer screeches his head totally not used to the feeling of his hair down.
"Take her and go Seifer." Seifer carefully puts on the back pack.
The old lady stands on the bed and closes an inside flap and sits some stuff on it to cover up Serine's compartment, then struggles to close the top. The pack looked stuffed full. A travelers load.
"Which way did those girls go?" Seifer asks.
"To the main hotel. Now shoo with you." The old lady snaps.
Seifer walks out of the house unto the street. In the distance he notices torches heading his direction. Pausing he looks at the old lady's house. Will she be okay? The old lady's image appeared to him, then vanished. A cold chill runs through his spine and he runs down the ally. Hopefully he could discover where the hell he was. Something leds him down a dark, errie path. All he could see was darkness. Several times he tried to see his hand in front of his face. Futile, but a game to pass the seconds. Not to mention every time he tried to force his eyes to focus ahead he got nauseated.
The town of Timber showed gracefully in the darkness. Just a little while longer. He could make it. A torch was thrust into his face. Seemingly accusing him of something. Seifer blinked painfully from the sudden light. Just a second ago the only light was from the town of Timber.
"He's not the one, no scar and his hairs not slicked back." A voice says with disappointment.
"Who are you?" Seifer asks shielding his eyes.
"The new order, you should know of us by now... But then you are a traveler. We have come to rid the world of sorcerious's and there spawn. To bring the world back to innocence and free her children from bondage." The person says with a fearer voice.
"There haven't been anyone like that in a long time." Seifer says.
"We caught one a couple days ago." Someone boasts. "A sorcerous with five kids. She'll be sacrificed later, but you should have herd her kids dying screams," he says with to much pleasure.
Seifer heart seems to stop beating. A lump built in his throat so big it prevented him from screaming. His legs wanted to give out but the sheer shock kept him standing. He knew who they were talking about. Ellone, and his kids... His kids who were dead. The man's voice held no lie in it. His kids died an agonizing death, not fast, but slow.
"What are you doing?"
Seifer blinks. He didn't realize he put down the pack and his blade was in his hand. He didn't care these people would pay. Seifer moves forward and cuts someone's throat. Someone grabs his shoulder and he stabs back into there gut. The third had not time to react as the blade cut him in half.
"That was my family." Seifer growled.
Hearing running Seifer grabs the pack and runs to Timber on weak legs. It was certain that the three had painful deaths. And hopefully they were slow.
~~~
The hotel staff look up as they notice a man covered in blood runs in caring a heavy pack. One woman covers her mouth and keeps from screaming as Seifer stumbles forward. Seifer could feel tears running down his face, there was no way he could calm the panicky staff. One of the maids run up the stairs. A breeze stirs the tension, but like a heavy smoke doesn't clear it.
"Seifer?!" Rinoa shouts running to him.
Seifer collapses and cries out as she touches his shoulder. Rinoa kneels down and tries to get a good look at Seifer.
"There gone Rinoa," Seifer bawls out. "Five of my six children faced agonizing deaths."
"Oh God." Rinoa hugs Seifer letting him cry on her shoulder.
Rinoa feel's Seifer's back move, motioning for the stunned Selphie. Selphie carefully peels back the pack off of Seifer. Seifer carelessly letting her. To stricken by grief. Curious Selphie opens the pack and digs through finding the hidden pouch and opens that to. Little sleepy eyes look out concerned.
Selphie and Rinoa look up as they hear a commotion outside. They were coming for Seifer. Rinoa points Selphie to the upstairs and she helps Seifer to his feet and pushes him towards the resturant part. Abandoned at 3 am. Selphie repacks Serine hastly and runs upstairs with her. Waking up Xu.
"Shh, we got trouble." Selphie wispers sticking Serine in the closet.
Serine so startled remains quiet. To afraid to move.
"What's going on?" Xu whispers.
"Play asleep or were dead, same with Serine." Selphie hops in her bed just as the hotel is invaded.
