********************************

Selphie just sat still a moment in shock. 'Like you didn't expect this...', she thought to

herself. Just then there was a loud bang on the door.

"LET US IN SeeDS!!!" Selphie jumped and stared at the door like it was about to eat her.

"W-who's that?"

"No clue, but they're here and we need to get out of this place...fast." At that Seifer

started looking around the room muttering about a stupid messenger girl. The people at the door

started banging on it louder and louder. "Timlitt here!" Selphie turned to face Seifer, "Come on

already!" She walked to were he was, "In there." He pointed at a small vent in the wall, Selphie

gave him a strange look but went in anyways. Seifer had just crawled in after when the door burst

open. Three large men in unknown uniform stood just where Selphie had before.

Any movement on Seifer or Selphie behalf would be amplified, so that left them in a

rather uncomfortable position. See, when Seifer had crawled in Selphie was lying on her back

trying to slither backwards, this caused him to have to crouch over her because there was no

more time for further moving, thus the end result being Selphie lying on her back looking up at a

rather uncomfortable Seifer who had his hands placed on either side of her and on knee between

her legs.

Selphie heard one of the men take out a gun and shoot a couple shots into the walls.

Seifer sat still with his expression unchanged, that is, until Selphie began to tremble. That's when

he became aware of her small warm body pressed against his, that a small fragile creature was

below him, trusting him. Looking at her, he saw she had tears in her eyes, a few had already

leaked out, "oh come on" he barely whispered rolling his eyes, but Selphie looked horror struck.

He was about to ask what was wrong but was cut off by her sneezing, "shit" he cursed, "go go

go!" Selphie didn't need telling twice when she heard the men prying open the vent door and

screaming to each other in another language. She flipped to her stomach and crawled as fast as

possible being urged on by Seifer. They heard shots being fired behind them when they finally

got into the vent that lead outside. Jumping out, soon followed by Seifer, she ran into the nearby

woods, twigs and such clawing at her. After a couple minutes she could run no longer, her legs

and lungs burned, she stopped and leaned against a tree.

"I think they're gone."

"Don't be so sure." Seifer replied, "We'll have to hide out a while, lemme just call

Garden quick."

"You had a cell phone?!?"

"Well, my long distance phone charges are way high, I don't wanna use it that often!"

Selphie fell over, not listening to what Seifer was muttering on the phone.

"I'm done."

"Am I supposed to care?" She didn't get an answer. There was a few minutes of silence

before she finally asked, "so....what now?"

"We need to hide out here, we cant risk them attacking Garden."

"Since when did you care about Garden?"

"Since I was a student again."

"When was that?"

"I don't remember."

"Oh..." She was beginning to lose interest anyway. "Well where are we going now?"

"There's a couple caves around here I think..." Seifer scanned the area.

"Caves?! What??"

"I told you, we need to hide out."

"I thought you meant like hotels or something!"

"We cant do that for a couple days at least."

"But a cave is so uncomfortable..." Selphie pouted.

"Don't worry, we can do it on leaves or something..."

"W-what are you talking about??" Her cheeks were slightly pinker.

Seifer grinned, "Just sleeping of course."

"Eh heh...yes, yes of course..." She scratched the back of her head.

"Come on, lets go."

"I'm not letting you lead me off!"

"You would die on your own."

"Would not!"

"Fine." He began walking off. Selphie sat alone in the dark woods for a moment, and owl

hooted, "Seifer wait!!" She ran after him. He stopped walking and grinned at her. "Fine...I'll

come but no funny stuff" She glared at him. "Of course not"
