"There they are!" Selphie screamed as she saw the submarine pass over their heads.
Squall jumped up from the floor of the ship and looked up at the large submarine. "Follow them," he ordered Selphie.
Selphie jumped into the pilot's chair and said, "Aye, aye."
Irvine had lost interest in his fantastic solitaire game and began thinking aloud of ways to save me. Zell had placed himself across from Irvine on the floor and took part in the brainstorm. They had created elementary drawings on little pieces of paper of each of the submarines and how they might be able to get aboard Seifer's ship.
After what seemed like hours of arbitrary ideas Squall finally interrupted them, "I will go aboard when they surface, or at least try to get on the ship. Then I want the rest of you to follow me, proceed with stealth. We need to succeed in this mission for we are all caught in the balance. They will have to surface sometime for supplies, we'll have to wait for that time to strike."
Irvine prepared the scuba gear, in case it would be needed unexpectedly also preparing the first aid kit, and a life raft. All the while Seifer's ship was fleeing the chase, having been discovered and the cover of the large dark sea was blown. Therefore, Squall and his party gave chase hopefully pushing Seifer and his crew to make a mistake in their hurried escape.
The sea started getting brighter as Seifer made his way towards shore. Squall traced the scar on his face, impatiently waiting for the fight that would take place. Squall looked over at Zell practicing his fighting laboriously, and his eyes softened. He relaxed a little at realizing that these people around him were his friends, and they were doing all this for him because they were his companions and wanted to help. They were spending all of their time and energy to help him find his love. Then he started looking at his other friends, Selphie was humming to herself, Irvine was pretending to be preoccupied by their gear. Sighing, Squall began to stare out the window at the fleeing ship carrying his love.
I looked at the door curiously, had someone just knocked? I got up and stayed close to the wall in the cover of darkness. I thought to myself, why would someone knock on a cell that was locked from the outside? I got next to the door and peeked out and I saw the hallway emptied. I shook my head and went to sit back down thinking myself crazy, when I heard the door open and I turned around to my surprise to see Quistis standing in the doorway.
"Come on Rinoa! Quick before Seifer finds us!" She yelled to me.
I rushed over to her and we slipped out of my cell. It was such a relief to be out of the prison. I thought that her being a stowaway on the ship was why the lights were pulsating, hurting my eyes as I blinded followed Quistis. She moved fast through the ship and I could hardly hear her shoes tapping on the floor. My footsteps seemed so heavy compared to hers, although it was hard to keep up since I had been carrying extra weight and had not been accustomed to running with it. Thinking about Squall's handsome face I believed that Quistis must have had an escape pod to get off the ship and back into the arms of my husband.
Suddenly, Quistis stopped jogging throwing her arm out to halt me as well. We had encountered our first guard patrolling another wing of the ship. He seemed to be moving excruciatingly slow, almost dawdling back and forth. While his back was turned we dashed across the hallway and continued our escape. I smiled, it seemed almost too easy, thinking that soon I would be back in my husband's arms safe and happy.
Quistis turned into a room, and upon entering I found it to be completely dark. I put out my arms and tried to feel around to where Quistis was, and in doing so, I smashed my hand into the wall. Holding in my pain, I brought my hand to my lips and blew on it, when I found that didn't work I started shaking it furiously. I heard shifting, and moved toward it, Quistis must have been getting lost in the dark too.
Finally, my hand had found cloth, I started tugging on it and waited for a response. When I didn't hear any, I squinted my eyes; I could only make out something white, or perhaps gray. I moved my hand up the fabric, it felt a little odd to me. Suddenly, I felt something weird inside me, near my stomach. I put my free hand on my stomach and felt the sensation again. A smile crept across my face, I realized it was our baby shifting or kicking. Giggling to myself I began to realize how I was really pregnant, it not having hit me until that point. It seemed a little odd to me though, a new feeling, a new life. I also realized that it was too early for my baby to be doing any of these sensations, but now was not the time to think about it.
I stood in a daze for a while pressing my hand against my stomach, until the touch of the fabric I was holding in my hand brought me back to my mission at hand. I ran my hand up the fabric until I found what I thought to be skin. In the tiniest voice I could muster I asked, "Quistis?" But I did not find a response. I placed my hand onto the skin again, and thought how tall Quistis seemed. Must be standing on a step, I pondered.
As a flash, the lights were thrown and I blinked my eyes for a minute before I could see the person in front of me. I had been standing there with my hand on the person's face. Upon seeing this person I jumped back, quickly retracting my hand, and said aloud the name of the person standing there.
"Seifer..."

I'm sooo sorry for another cliffhanger, seriously. But I'll tell you how this keeps happening: I always try to push myself to write at least 1,000 words, and whenever I get around there and all thought out, it ends with a cliffhanger. My thoughts are all cliffhangers! I'm REALLY sorry! But please review anyway!! Hey at least I didn't leave out his name right!?!
