Quistis ran over to the unconscious man and turned him so he was facing the ceiling so that she could open his airway.

"Is he, you know?" Evan asked, his pale skin going even paler.

"Dead? I don't think so." Quistis sighed, taking his pulse. "It's faint, but it's there."

Evan let out a huge breath that he did even know he was holding. Even SeeD's had a hard time coping with death sometimes.

"So are you going to heal him or what?" Evan asked, then pushed his way over to the body. "White Wind!" He exclaimed, then a cool sensation came over all three in the room. "Did it work?"

"Not well." Quistis said, then removed the long black coat that the man was wearing. Folding it up she used it as a pillow for the blond's head. "We've only got a couple of Hi Potions. We've got to make them last." She argued.

"For Hyne's sake, Quistis. This man is dying. Are you going to let some insecure feelings allow you to let him die? We are this guys only hope for survival. We are both fine right now and will be fine until we bust out of here. He won't make it through the night if we don't use at least one potion on him. And if that doesn't heal him right away, he will be fine until we lift the anti-magic field. This is a matter of life or death here, Quistis." Evan was exasperated after his outburst and fell from the standing position he was in, down to his knees.

"I'm sorry, Ev. I just wasn't ready for any of this to happen. I mean I love seeing you again, but I was only going to be travelling with my boyfriend, looking for a knight. I never dreamed that I'd end up captured, possibly because I'm a blue mage. Let alone scared shitless about where Zell may be. I know you keep telling me that he's okay and will be fine, but how do you know? You've been in this cell as long as I have." Quistis said.

"I thought I was helping." Evan said, a little ashamed at himself.

"No, it's okay. I'm over reacting here."

"You deserve to. You love Zell very much. And you see him almost everyday."

Quistis had to interrupt. "We have an apartment in the SeeD dorms together so I have seen him everyday since we got together." She blushed.

"Easy sex access. Nice." Evan grinned and nodded.

"Evan! You little pervert!" Quistis laughed. It felt good to laugh.

Before Quistis or Evan had time to say anything else, the whole room began to shake.

"Wha....Wha...What's happening, Quistis?" Evan yelled over the noise of mechanical gears turning.

"I think our cell is being moved!" She exclaimed, then looked over to the man on the floor. Fighting everything happening inside, she looked at Evan, then back to the man on the floor. "Mighty Guard!" Quistis focused all her energy into the one spell, praying to Hyne that it worked. She felt her feet lift off the air, then she looked over and saw that Evan and the other blond were floating as well, and the familiarity of regan washed over her.

"How did you do that?" Evan asked, surprised that the spell had worked.

"I...I don't know." She was as surprised as he was, but nothing could have saved the surprise as much as when they looked over and saw the man start to moan and finally open his eyes.

"Where the hell am I?" were the first and only words out of his mouth.

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

Ellone paced the room for what seemed like the millionth time that hour. She was worried about Zell and Quistis. They had been calling every couple of hours, now the connection had been severed completely.

A sound coming from Squall's direction made Ellone stop dead in her tracks and look over to the brunet sorcerer. Squall's head was thrashing around wildly and soft groaning came from his mouth.

"Knight. I need my knight." He whispered, not opening his eyes.

"Squall? Are you all right?" Ellone ran over to his bedside and began to wipe a wet face cloth over Squall's brow.

"Knight. Come back." Squall was becoming more and more sweaty by the moment, although Ellone knew she had the air conditioner on.

"Squall. It's me. Sis. Are you okay?" She called out, feeling as if she was talking to the wall.

"No one shall destroy me!" Squall called out, then his body went into sever convulsions. Almost panicking, Ellone did the only thing she could think of.

"Curaga!" She cried, casting it over the seizure.

Squall started to gasp for air and Ellone sat him up. His seizure slowly began to stop and the sweat stopped all together.

"Squall? Are you okay?" she asked one more time.

"Sis? You've got to find my knight." He whispered, looking up at her with pleading emerald eyes, then passed out completely again.

Ellone slowly let him lay down again and looked out the window.

"Where are you guys?" She spoke softly, hoping that for some reason Zell or Quistis could hear her.

To Be Continued.......

I know what you all must be saying. Finally she decided to update again. Sorry about the cliffhanger. I just seem to like writing them. This one isn't as much of one. Are many people still reading this? It seems almost that there are less people reviewing. Remember, reviews inspire me and my muse. In other words more reviews equal faster chapters! *smiles evilly* I know there are a few questions going through peoples minds. Where is Zell? And who is in the cell with Evan and Quistis? And where is the cell going? All will soon be reveled. Love and cookies!
