***Blood and Love***
**Too Late**
I tossed and turned around in my bed, trying to sleep. My thoughts kept
wandering back to him. His image kept reappearing in my mind. For the last couple
of days, I've mistaken several people for Seifer. People say that if you really love
someone alot, you'll keep seeing them everywhere. Maybe I'm in love with Seifer?
But how!? When did it start? Why?
Maybe it started when I saw a softer side to Seifer. Maybe it started when I
went to Galbadia because I never aged and people started cruel rumors about me.
***********************************
It had been approximately fifty years since I saw Seifer in Balamb. I had
forgotten about him when I arrived at Galbadia. I never expected to find him there.
I was just walking around a neighborhood, seaching for a suitable home when I saw
him. At first, I did not recognize him. I walked up to him and he looked at me
strangely.
"Seifer?" I asked.
"Who the hell are you?" he asked rudely. I frowned at him.
"I can't believe you don't remember me! Oh, why am I talking to you
anyways?" I said, turning around.
"Quistis?" I stopped. "So, it is you. Didn't regonize you in those clothes."
"You have changed too. Finally cut that tail of yours, huh?" I said, turning
around and mentioning his hair that used to be long.
"What brings you to Galbadia?" inquired Seifer.
"People got suspicious. Started accusations," I answered. He nodded.
"Are you looking for a place to stay? You can stay at my cottage," suggested
Seifer. I raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?" I asked, eyeing him warily.
"People change when they're in love." I felt my face flushing and my heart
beating rapidly. Perhaps it was this moment when I first fell in love with him.
"W-what are you saying?" I asked.
"I met this girl, Quistis! She's everything I wanted in a girl! Not only is she
pretty, she's also nice and intelligent. Her name is Rinoa. You should meet her,
Quistis," said Seifer. My heart ceased to beat. I felt sad and melancholy. Why
did I care anyways!? Silence fell between us. We just stood there staring at each
other. That was when I realized how beautiful Seifer's eyes were. I blushed at this
thought. Seifer coughed.
"So, you wanna stay at my cottage or not?" he asked again. I nodded my
head and he gave me a warm smile. I smiled back and he helped me bring my stuff
to his place.
It took me awhile to settle in and get used to Seifer's kindness. When I first
met Rinoa, I immediately took a liking to her. She was just as Seifer described her. I
thought that she was made for Seifer, and I felt jealous, anger, and happiness all at
the same time. But then I noticed something. Her mind always seemed occupied with
something else. Now I respect other people's privacy, so I rarely read other people's
minds, but I was just so curious one day.
Rinoa was sitting on one of the chairs near the fireplace, Seifer sat besides
her and was talking quietly to her. I was leaning against the wall and craning my
neck to see them without them noticing me. Then I started concentrating and broke
into Rinoa's mind. I was shocked at what I heard. She had her eyes on another man!
She no longer wanted to be in a relationship with Seifer. I didn't know whether to be
happy or mad. Seifer still loved Rinoa-he was going to propose to her tonight!
But if I were to tell him this, he would get angry and accuse me of lying! What
should I do? Rinoa started talking.
"Uh, Seifer. I need to tell you something..."
"What is it? Is there something wrong?" asked Seifer with a worried look.
"Seifer, this relationship isn't working out for me. I enjoy your company, but
as a friend, nothing more," explained Rinoa. Seifer's worried expression turned into a
pained one. I felt like a knife just stabbed my heart too.
"W-what? But why?"
"We're just not meant to be together, Seifer," said Rinoa, getting up and
walking towards the door. "Bye, Seifer."
I got up and walked towards Seifer. His back was facing me and I was
shocked to see him trembling. Was Seifer crying? I never saw him cry before, not
even he was little boy.
"Seifer? Are you alright?" I asked, placing my hand on his shoulder. I saw his
hand clench into a fist. He suddenly turned around. His eyes were slightly glistening
from his tears and his eyes had turned crimson.
"Were you eavesdropping on me!?" he barked. I backed away from him.
"I-I just happened to walk by and overheard you and-"
"Just leave me alone, Quistis," he said gently, turning around and staring at
the fireplace.
"Seifer, I-"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" he roared.
"You have to let me help you, Seifer. You can't solve every problem yourself,"
I whispered, walking towards my room.
For the next few days, Seifer became more and more hostile to me. I noticed
that he went to a bar almost every day and when he was not, he seemed to be deep
in thought. Whenever I tried to help him, he would yell at me and calling me things
that stung my heart. So I packed my stuff and left.
A pleasant elderly couple gave me their home for free. I wanted to pay them
for the house, but they insisted and said they were moving to their son's house.
After I unpacked most of my stuff, I went out in search of food. I saw Seifer get into
some bushes. What was he doing? I climbed a tree to see what Seifer was doing. I
saw Rinoa walking with a man. They kissed and I saw that this was the man she was
meant to be. I saw Seifer jump out from the bushes. I watched in horror as he drank
her blood and turned the man into a vampire. I heard him laugh maliciously as he
left the scene.
After he left, I jumped down and checked Rinoa's pulse. Nothing. She was
dead. I carried her body to her house. Then I went back to the man and hauled him
into my home. I watched him sadly, knowing that the first thing he'd do was look for
Rinoa. Why did Seifer have go this far?
The next day, he woke up. I found that his name was Squall Leonhart. He left
and I went out searching for him. I heard the sounds of metal clashing and found
Seifer and Squall dueling. I went and broke the fight and luckily the only thing left
from the fight were scars.
************************************
Sometimes, I wished I could be prettier and had as much charisma Rinoa had.
Maybe then, I'd be able to win Seifer's heart. Maybe then, I could change him back
to the Seifer I first fell in love with. I was brought back to reality when I bumped into
someone.
"Sorry-Seifer?!"
"Oh, it's you, Quistis."
"Something wrong, Seifer?" I asked, worried why he looked so despondent.
He turned his head towards the park. I saw Squall and Rinoa together. A small
smile formed at my lips. They look like they belong together. I wonder if Seifer and I
could ever be as close as them?
"Are...Are you still intent on claiming Rinoa as yours?" I asked.
"...No. I realized that," he paused, thinking carefully for the right words. "I
realized that it wasn't Rinoa my heart was throbbing for."
He turned his head and looked deep into my eyes. My heart began to beat
faster as I fell deeper into his emerald eyes. Our face inched closer and closer. I
could almost feel his warm breath on my lips.
"Well, if it isn't Seifer Almasy!" said a voice behind us. I quickly withdrew
from Seifer, blushing. I examined the woman who interrupted us. She had flaming
red hair, crimson eyes, and a sinister-looking smile.
"Adel, what are you doing here?" growled Seifer. Adel looked at Squall and
Rinoa then back at Seifer.
"Almasy, I thought you told me that you could have any women you wanted?"
said Adel, with a wicked smirk. Anger etched Seifer's face.
"I can!" he protested. Adel laughed.
"Then why is Rinoa with Leonhart? You can't even charm teenagers now?
HAHAHA!"
"I still can! I'll show you!" said Seifer, letting pride take over. Adel just walked
away, laughing her head off. Seifer stomped over to the park. I ran towards him and
grabbed his arm.
"Seifer, you don't have to do this. Just look at them Seifer; they belong
together," I said, hoping to calm him down. Seifer turned to look at Squall and
Rinoa. I saw in his eyes the fire die down a bit. But it seemed as if Adel's words
echoed in his mind. He jerked his arm from my grasp and marched over to the
couple.
"It's...Too late..." I whispered, tears falling down my cheeks. It's too late to
try to stop you. Too late to try to change you. Too late to tell you how much it hurts
to love you...
