~*~ Dreams ~*~
~*~ Chapter 7 ~*~
"Mommy, what are you writing?" the little blond girl's head peeked over the table.
"Mommy is writing a letter to Auntie Edea. Do you remember her?" The little girl shook her head. "Well we are going to go and visit her soon," the woman couldn't help smiling as she saw her daughter's eyes light up.
"You mean we are going on a trip? Hooray! I'm gonna go pack my stuff now okay Mommy?" the woman nodded. A tear manage to slide down her cheek as she watched her daughter run to her room.
~~~
"Mommy, I'm scared."
"It's alright, my dear it will be alright. I hope," the woman held her child tighter as she ran deeper into the dark forest. The moonless sky only added to the darkness and fear of the mother and child. Sounds of fighting could be heard in the distance, but was quickly coming up behind them. The mother and daughter looked at the eerie darkness before them. Just as they were about to venture into the howling darkness, they noticed that the fighting had ceased. At least the sounds had cease. The blond woman feared the worse. She remembered her husband's plea for her to continue on with their plan to bring their daughter to safety no matter what was to become of him. But she wasn't able to promise her husband before, and she refused to abandon him now. She looked over at her daughter and vowed that she will do anything to save her and keep her alive, and some how get her to Edea.
She was now ready to meet her hunter. Checking her hip to find her whip secure, she quickly grabbed her daughter's hand. She looked only to see two emerald eyes that danced with the fire of madness.
~~~
Quistis woke up with a start and woke up to find she was looking into the same emerald eyes in her dream, but then again they weren't the same. The flames of madness were not present in these eyes.
"Are you alright? You look like you just saw a ghost," Quistis finally snapped out of her confusion and realized she was staring into Seifer's eyes.
"Quistis, are you alright?" Seifer repeated.
"Huh? Yeah I'm fine," she replied still slightly confused.
"Maybe you need something to eat. You haven't eaten all day."
"No, I'm fine for now. I think I need a shower." Quistis walked over to her bag and pulled out a couple things and walked into the bathroom.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror, and Seifer was right she did look very pale. The dreams was so vivid and real it was like a memory. Was it a memory? And who did the emerald eyes of fire belong to? She didn't remember seeing the face; all that was revealed to her in the dream was his eyes. Who were all these people that she kept seeing in her dreams? All these question were making her head spin. She quickly leaned her body against the wall to prevent herself from falling. Then she realized she was still wearing Seifer's coat.
Aside from his candid comment about her present appearance, Seifer was genuinely concerned for her. She had to admit it was quite shocking. She always knew Seifer was soft at heart, but she never expected him to show it to her. Seifer was always the arrogant asshole to her. She was starting to get use to ignoring his crude remarks. Who is she kidding? Seifer would always been an insensitive ass to her. She was sure that as soon as she came out of her shower, he would have some smart-ass comment to try to piss her off again.
She turned on the water to start a bath. As the warm steam started to fill the small room, Quistis started to relax. She slowly took off the gray trench coat and hung it on the towel rack. She then removed her SeeD uniform and threw it haphazardly on the floor. She slowly settled herself into the warm bubbles. As she leaned back in the tub she tried to sort out the dreams again. Apparently her dreams seemed to be out of sequence, but they were dreams. Dreams aren't suppose to make any sense, but what if these weren't dreams? Her head was starting to spin again, she decided to forget about the dreams right now and focus on the present mission. She cleared her mind and leaned back and sunk lower into the warm water.
When she came out she found Seifer had ordered her some food from room service. He gestured for her to eat the food as he took his coat from her out stretched arm.
"T-thank you, Seifer, but this is way too much food for me," Quistis managed to stutter in the midst of shock. She was half expecting a rude comment instead he got her dinner.
"Its all right. I'll finish what ever is left over. Now eat." After saying that he walked into the bathroom to shower.
"Yes mother," Quistis teased. She shook her head and started to eat the chicken sandwich that he had ordered for her.
