Imma do something a little different this chapter. The ending of this chapter is shocking and I don't want to ruin it by an A/N. So I don't want to ruin the mood. So here's my reponses.

Apothesis-Hisoka - The flashbacks were to give the relationship more meaning. To me if kinda was unbelievable how Quistis could fall for her…rapist so I had to do something that showed that this isn't just some dumb author wanting to write a romance story, forgetting that the story is unbelievable. I hope I didn't loose any readers because I didn't add that sooner. Let's see if Quislie makes it this chapter, neh?

kamikaze mission - Uh huh, Seifie is going to go bye bye if Quislie doesn't come soon enough! ^_^ If I'm not going to kill Seifer? T You'll see, now won't you? That would be very dramatic and sad but those kind of stories glue you to the screen, don't you agree? I'm glad you're down with the e-mail. If last chapter had the suspense killin' you I'd hate how this chapter will do you. ^_^()

Aniiston- [smiles weakly] I know that many women are sexually abused. Believe me I know. I tried not to write 'bout it in a light matter. Believe me, I don't take that kind of issue so easily. I also know that women don't get over it easily. If fact it's a known fact that after being sexually abused that it's years before that woman is able to make a relationship with any males or future male and is scared easily. I'm using the whole "This is fiction! I can do whatever I want" I hate that excuse. I appreciate your review. If it wasn't to Dragon Princess Isis, I think I would have stopped writing this fic. You hit something here. I'm not a author that breaks all of the rules for happiness. Believe me. Also it helped me in my favor that I'm doing this in the old days.

ArashiKishu- Rinoa bash? Actually I'm a Rinoa fan, but that doesn't stop me from reading Rinoa bash, believe me. I've read I think almost most of them. I don't care really. But while I typing it, I knew exactly what I was writing. So yes in a way it was a Rinoa bash. I really don't care. I think there is a slight Rinoa bash in this fic. U tell if there is, k? But hey if you like that, I'm happy. I'm glad SOMEBODY likes the flashback one of my friends which who shall not be names said the flashbacks sucked and wasn't need. That the fic made sense anyway. Xu was definitely an ignored character during the game and I wanted to make her seem almost essential to this fic, you know? I'm glad you like Xu!

aznchika- Ah! I see you have gotten so fic of FF.N that you completely forgotten 'bout it. I would have to if all of the gems were updated more frequently than other sites. *Growls* Not fair… I'll definitely e-mail you.

Dragon Princess Isis - Yo, we should definitely talk on IM, because I enjoyed talkin' to you. It was cool, and thank you for the picture sig and giving me the URL to the Seiftis message board. I tried finding it but I switch ISPs and so I lost all of my faves and the URL's. **gloats** Next two weeks, ow! I could never live not going online for even one day! *Shudders* Well I hope you enjoy the ending(s). Lata my Dutch Sista!

Megs- Hey that's still the beginning for me! Ur welcome!! Well if that's suspenseful, I hate to think 'bout this chapter. I think this chapter has to be the best chapter I'll write. **Crosses fingers** hopefully it turns out long and as good I as I want it to be. Well, I'm putting you back in your misery. HAHAHA! LOL.

Fujin: Wind Goddess- How could you have missed it?! **I guess Imma have to make it bold.*** Well I guess Chapter eight woulda fooled anyone, huh?

Nemesis- here's what happens next…well you see…wait…read to find out! ^_^. I can totally see Rinoa coming out as a bitch accidentally, in the game of course and I just had to write that, ya'know? Romeo and Juliet hot sex…lol….okay, maybe. You'll see.

Sugarpea- Yes! Someone else that though flashbacks were needed! Yes, yes, yes!

Quistis88- Zone, yes, Zone. 'member that, that's the guy she was supposed to marry. An arranged marriage. Only in my fic the father wanted Quistis approval. Though in real life back then they didn't giving a flying f-k about the woman's approval.

Abducted Love
by
FloralBlackMoon


Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
- - - Oscar Wilde


It has ever been since time began,
And ever will be, till time lose breath,
That love is a mood- no more- to man,
And love to a woman is life or death.
- - - Ella Wheeler Wilcox "Blind"


Chapter 10 - Mingled Blood - I apologize for the most terrible action scene.


Quistis ran a hand through her blond hair as she got up from an unwanted sleep.

'Damn, I can't believe I fell asleep! I could just think how closer they are to Seifer.'


Quistis turned to also find her horse asleep; walking it she nuzzled it gently, waiting for the horse to wake up. When the resting horse woke, Quistis smiled a little.

"I'm sorry I woke you up, but I need to be there before Pa and the others are there. After we save Seifer and the others you can sleep all you want and give you all the goodies you like so much, okay?" Quistis spoke gently to the horse, scratching behind the ears. The horse gave a 'nay' in pleasure at Quistis actions.

Quistis smiled and mounted the horse, "Yah!"

Quistis grinned as the wind blew through her hair, almost caressing her in a way.

'How did I fall for him? Where did I? Is it normal? This is sick and twisted in it's own way.'

~

Rinoa hugged herself as she sat on the stairs of her house.

'She called me a bitch. I actually got her angry enough for her to swear. Did I do what was right?'

Licking her lips, Rinoa got up and stared at the sun, "But I had revenge for her. She can't tell me what she isn't happy that I told? I mean he's going to pay, right?"


"You bitch." Quistis spat toward Rinoa and galloped away.

Rinoa kept repeating the memory in her head. Remembering Quistis face, her tone, and her expression. Kept repeating till she found something.


Rinoa eyes widen as she realization fell on her, "She cares for him. The look in her eyes when she called me that, it was a look of hate, anger, hurt and fear.... fear for him."

'She loved him', but how? How? Why? He took away her virtue, how could she have done that?'

"Oh Quislie, I'm so sorry. If I had only knew, if you only told us. You-you- should have told us. If--if Quistis really loves him, then she should be going to him. If, and also, if they were to try and kill Almasy...she would take the blow." Rinoa whispered to herself, fear slowly starting to build up.

'Oh my God.'

Rinoa gasped in horror, hand coming up to cover her mouth; tears coming down.

"What did I just do? Did I just sign my best friend death warrant?"

Rinoa ran down the stairs and started heading toward the stables.

' I have to be there, I have--"

Rinoa thoughts were disturb as she ran into Selphie and her friend. Grabbing Selphie by her upper arms, Rinoa yelled helplessly to Selphie, "She's going to die! She's going to die!"

Selphie pried Rinoa off and looked at Rinoa, "What? Rinoa, what do you mean?"

"Quistis! She-She loves him!!" Rinoa screamed, "I have to go and stop it!"

"Wait, what? How do you know?"

"Okay, Okay, after we told the men I had stepped outside to think and Quistis pulled up on the horse, she must have heard and she looked at me and in her eyes---oh..." Rinoa looked away, "Was resent, hate, fear. Fear Selphie, fear for him."

"But what does that have to do with Quistis dying?" Selphie asked, glancing at her friend next to her.

"Selphie! Are ya blind? Her father is going to kill Almasy and she left before he left and if she loves him when it comes to the fatal blow---"

"She'll take it for him." Selphie finished breathlessly, "Rinny, we have to get there. Now."

Selphie glanced at her friend, "Fujin, look me and Rinoa have to go, forgive me but this is serious."

"Can I come with you?" Fujin asked, "I have a feeling."

"Why?" Rinoa said, "I mean are you and Quistis friends?"

"No, but it's personal, now can I come?" Fujin asked looking at both at them, "Where is she heading?"

"603 Valley Area." Selphie answered, "Why?"

"I know a shortcut and no I can't tell you what turns, it's hard to instruct."

"But even if we take a short cut, we're probably arrive after her father since he had a head start." Rinoa countered.

"Yes, but we'll be there not too long after them. Would you rather a day or a few minutes?"

"How? They are a day ahead of us!"

"We should be there an hour then after them. They probably took the long way, which is two days. They should arrive by tomorrow."

Selphie and Rinoa glanced at each other, "Fine, you can come. Though I don't know why." Rinoa approved, "Now let's get the supplies needed and get to the stables as soon as possible. We can't misuse a minute. Each is essential."

Seifer rubbed his eyes while sitting up from his bed.

'Damn, I'm so tired. Shit. But I gotta analyze that vision I have'.

Swinging his legs over the foot of the bed, Seifer got up tiredly his eyes drooping. Seifer had to fight the urge to just fall back on the bed.

'I gotta wake up.'

Soon Seifer was slapping his forehead before finally actually being away of his surroundings. Looking around, he walked to a draw to get out a pants and a shirt. After putting on his outfit, he walked to his living and sat down on a rocking chair.

Looking straight ahead into a white wall.

'What was the vision 'bout? It was gruesome but it was almost apiece to a whole wider puzzle. Why'd I even have it?'

"Seifer?" A soft voice interrupted him. Seifer head snapped to the right to find the blond wonder there. She was wearing a white dress that went to the floor with a low neckline. Wearing a pearl necklace and diamond earrings. Her hair was loose and floating around in a serene way.

"Quistis?" Seifer breathed; uncertain, "Is that really you?"

Quistis giggled and waved her hand, "Seifer, why'd you let me go?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"Don't you care for me? I thought you did...if you loved me then why'd you bring me back?"

"Quistis it was what you wanted."

"I'm getting married to Zone. I'm so happy." The blond dream said with a sigh, "Why would I care for you? You raped me."

Seifer eyes flickered to the floor in shame, "Quistis I---"

Before Seifer could finish a piercing scream ring through out the room. Slowly blood crept up Quistis white dress, turning a deep red then into a cold black.

"You took away my virtue, bastard. I hate you." The blond smiled, though evident she was feeling pain. Soon her white dress was drenched in red liquid before turning black. Her eyes turning cold, hair stuck to her skin in an ghostly way.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.

"You should die." Quistis growled, in her hand appeared a whip. Bring it up in the air, she twirled it around before launching it at Seifer....

Seifer yelled out in pain and grasped his bleeding leg and backed up, "Quistis...I'm sorry."

"Sorry ain't gonna cut it." She hissed through clenched teeth before launching another attack at Seifer arm.

"Bastard...I hate you..."

Seifer gasped as he sat up erect, breathing heavy. Sweat glistening over his naked body. His hair, falling over his face, he could feel the pain still. Touching the leg where it was attack he found no wound but it felt soar, as did he arm.

"What the hell?" He whispered to himself. Turning to the window, seeing it was morning.

'If that dream ends up being real….'

Walking to the draw, he put on the outfit he was wearing in his nightmare. Getting out of the room, he walked cautiously to the living room. Looking around he sat on the rocking chair.

He could practically hear his heart beat in his ear. Pumping frantically in fear, fear of the dream he had.

Two visions. Two nightmares. Both dealing with blood. The second one had to do with my guilt. My regrets, I know that, but what of the first dream? What of the first dream? What did it mean? What did it represent? Death?

Seifer was snatched out of his thoughts when there was a pounding on the door. Seifer raised an eyebrow, "Who would come? Are we expecting visitor. Damn, that person is pounding loud.

Soon Xu appeared out of the hallway, "Seifer? Who's that? I hear the pounding in the room!"

Seifer turned to Xu and shrugged, "I don't know. It sounds urgent since they're pounding like that."

"Go open the door."

Seifer walked to the door, opening it cautiously. Finally opening it all the way.

"Oh my God..." Seifer whispered breathlessly, an emotion coming over his eyes; pure shock. Behind him, Xu gasped her eyes wide.

Squall ran his hand through his long hair, looking around the endless plain around them.

'Do we still know where we'll going? One could get lost in this ocean of green.'

"Squall. Your horse is heading the wrong way." A voice cut in, Squall turned to find Zone looking at him, "We're suppose to turn this way, not head straight...are you paying attention? What's wrong?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry." Squall apologizes and maneuvered his horse to go left, "Nothing is wrong. I'm just thinking."

"Squall, you're not the only one angry. Just don't let your anger come over your thoughts. You might lose us and not get any piece of Almasy."


"Is this the right thing to do?" Squall asked, "Does revenge seem like the only way?"

Zone looked at Squall in shock, "Squall, of course! This man has to pay! He fucked her up, Squall. Think about it."

"Yeah, but who said two wrongs make a right?"

"Where's the second wrong?" Zone asked, now getting worried about Squall.

"Killing him."

"Uh, Squall, that's not a wrong, it's a right."

Squall eyes widen as he stopped the horse to stare at Zone, "Killing a man, is right? So what if you kidnapped a Chika and fucked her too, so you're saying it's all right if her friends and family come to murder or severely hurting you?" Squall asked bewildered.

"That would different." Zone said looking away.

"How? How in the hell it's different?"

"Because, Squall, I have morals. I would never do that."

"He may have morals."

"Ha! Leonhart, if you're having doubts, than I suggest you leave and let the people who care for Quistis go ahead, we don't have time for people with doubts. Especially since we are so close."

Squall looked as Zone horse ran up to the others leaving his behind, "Yeah, but what if there was an emotional attachment? What if in someway we lost Quistis? Not physically but spiritually and mentally? This is wrong, I feel it."

Squall shook his head as he started catching up with the others.

~

Rinoa wiped away the sweat that was falling at the side of her forehead. Sighing, she looked up in the bright blue sky.

"Fujin!" Rinoa called out, "Are we there yet?"

"Rinoa..." Fujin started; annoyed, "We just left a few hours ago. We are getting close. We should be there by nightfall or earlier. As them."

Selphie rolled her eyes, "Rinoa, I know that sun is blazing hot but we have to stand it. I think I'd rather stand in the sun than waste a minute. As you said 'We can't misuse a minute. Each is essential.' You did say that, right?"

Rinoa groaned and nodded, "Yeah but I didn't think we'd die of heat."

"Drink some water from your water kettle." Fujin suggested, now concentrating on the path they were heading, "We're close."

Selphie looked at Fujin, "You sure? How do ya know?"

Fujin turned to Selphie and shook her head, "I just know. Believe me."

Rinoa nodded and turned in front of her, her thoughts on Quistis.

'I just hope...'

~

Xu ran past Seifer, pushing him out of the way to hug the person at the door, Hugging her tight, "Quistis!" Xu squealed happily.

"What are you doin' here? I thought Seifer left you at your town unless---" Xu trailed off, turning to look at Seifer.

"Xu, Seifer didn't do anything! Calm down!" Quistis laughed nervously. Xu narrowed her eyes a bit before smiling, "So what are ya doin' here?"

Quistis didn't hear Xu, her attention focused on the man behind Xu.

"Seifer." Quistis whispered taking a few steps up. Xu turned and cross her arms playfully.

'How dare they forget 'bout me'

"What are you doing here?" He asked crossing his arms, turning his head away.

"Seifer I---" Quistis raised her hand before dropping it, "We need to talk...about your safety."

Seifer looked up, an unreadable expression in his eyes, "Talk."

Quistis clenched her fist before out bursting, "What the hell is wrong with you! I'm here and now I wish I'm not! Why'd I come? You can I DIE for all I care! I wish I hated you..." Quistis finish off crystal tears now dripping down her fair.

Seifer stared at one crystal tear as it fell to the floor.

"Sorry ain't gonna cut it." Quistis hissed through clenched teeth before launching another attack at Seifer arm.

"Bastard...I hate you..."

*

"You should die" Quistis growled, in her hand appeared a whip. Bring it up in the air; she twirled it around before launching it at Seifer....

Seifer glanced at Xu sending her a look; Xu got the clue and spoke up, "Well, I guess I must leave you two to solve your problems. I better go now. Ahem, excuse me."

Xu walked out the living room, leaving the two blonds to themselves,

"Quistis, how do you want me to act?" Seifer asked, walking to the corner of the room.

"I want you to act grateful."

"For what?"

"Seifer, I know you're happy that I'm here."

"I want to get over you." Seifer replied, "And...."

"Seifer..."Quistis began, her tone breaking, "I have to warn you."

"What?" Seifer asked, walking closer to Quistis.

"They're going to kill you!"

"What? Who?" Seifer asked.

"I told my friends what happened and they told my father. Now--Now, they're on their way to kill you!" Quistis said as she collapse in Seifer's arms.

"Shhh..." Seifer whispered, "It's okay."

For those few minutes Seifer soothed Quistis till she was calm. Pulling away, she wiped her tears and smiled, "Thank you."

"Ya welcome." Seifer smiled.

Quistis moved and put her arms around Seifer, "I missed you."

Seifer wrapped his arms around her waist and smelled her hair, "Me too."

Quistis looked up at emerald eyes she loved so much, closing her eyes she tilted her head back and waited patiently for what she wanted. Finally feeling his lips pressed against hers, she granted him access.

Quistis felt a bit of panic as Seifer made the kiss more deeper, whimpering in fear she broke the kiss.

"Seifer...no."

"Why?"

"...Seifer...I'm still scared of you." Quistis whispered helplessly, walking away from Seifer her back to him.

"Oh..."

Turning around, she smiled meekly, "I'm sorry. But put yourself in my position. I mean that night when we were going to your Ma, I mean we weren't gonna..."

"It's--It's okay. So, um, how'd you get here?" Seifer asked; trying to get rid of the uncomfortable atmosphere.

"I took a horse and your short cut."

"How long ago did you leave?"

Quistis held back a laugh "Two days ago..."

Seifer looked at her, "What? Are you sure you took my short cut or the long way. I mean it's only suppose to be a day."

"I accidentally took a nap.... a very long nap." Quistis laughed, "Heh heh, I was really tired. I mean dealing with the betrayal with my friends… your safety."

Seifer shook his head as he laughed, "Man....than..."

All conversation were broken as they heard gun shots.

"They're here..." Quistis gasped, "Outside."

"They're waiting...."

~

Rinoa crossed her arms as she grew tired, "Girls, let's just go to sleep. The sun is almost setting. Plus I'm tired!"

"Not that far." Fujin said, her eyes getting serious. A faint sound came to the girl's ears,

"Gun shots." Selphie realized, "They're there!"

Rinoa nodded silently cursing at herself for actually considered stopping, "Do you think---do you think--"

"Rinoa SHUT UP!" Selphie snapped, "Don't even say it!"

Rinoa narrowed her eyes before nodding, "Let's speed things up a bit." Rinoa suggested as her horse ran to where the fun shot was heard, Fujin and Selphie behind her.

~

"Seifer! Don't go! They're going to kill you!" Quistis begged, pulling Seifer's arm. By then everyone was in the living room.

"Yeah, Seifer, do you want to die or something?" Zell asked, "It's gonna be terrible is you actually die."

"They---" Seifer stopped as bullets pierced through the wooden door. Seifer pushed Quistis off and walked to the door opening it. Immediantly a man grasped Seifer by the shirt.

"Almasy! Bastard!" Zone hissed. Everyone outside waited patiently as Zone dragged Seifer outside. Quistis and the others immediantly followed the two men.

"Zone! No!" Quistis screamed. "Don't do it!"

Quistis turned to her father and looked at him helplessly, "Help him."

Her father shook his head and took his place next to Zone. Zone pushed Seifer down on the ground and got his rifle ready. Seifer slowly got up and looked at Zone.

"Good-bye." Zone whispered; smiling.

"You know men, is this necessary?" Squall interrupted. Zone threw Squall a disgusted look.

"Shut up Leonhart." Quistis father napped.

Zone looked at Seifer smiling evilly once more before pulling the trigger. Silence. It was a blur and no one could notice. It was then Rinoa and the others came in.

"QUISTIS!!" Rinoa screamed jumping off the horse along with Selphie. The smoke clear and there laid Quistis, her dress turning red with her crimson blood. Selphie and Rinoa ran to Quistis body and stared in horror.

'I did this. I did it.' Rinoa thought in horror.

Selphie felt tears coming down her face, "No! No! No!"

Seifer stared at Quistis corpse, his eyes wide. Suddenly he felt emotions he had never felt before. Alone. Despair. Pain. "She—She---she took it for me…. She took the blow…that was meant for me." Seifer whispered to himself incredulously.

Quistis father looked at his daughter's body before feeling a deep anger explode. Grabbing Zone gun he stared at Seifer, shaking.

"Bastard..."He hissed; his voice choking with fury, "You'll die."

He pointed a gun at Seifer smiling with a grin so full of evil…and pulled the trigger.  A gun shot was heard and silence.

"SEIFER!!" Xu screamed, running toward Seifer's falling body; landing next to Quistis.

Everyone froze; an eerie silence filled the day as they watched blood seep from the Quistis and Seifer's bullet wounds. They watched as the two lovers blood mingled…
