Author's note: This chapter starts a whole new scene thing in this story that I will continue on the next chapters, so I'm feeling a little more enthusiastic when writing this There's also going to be some action in the future chapters, but not so much cause I'm not very good at writing an action filled scene, so don't wait anything glamour The action is going to be (I think) very mild.

Enough of me blathering here Read the chapter and remember to tell me what you think of the story so far. Thanks!

Shared Feelings

Chapter 12: Abduction

An island isolated from the all the great nations of the earth, a lonely island that had the lonely lighthouse by its shores.

The ground was somehow hard and dry, but still there was this one place of blooming flowers, beautiful view of excellent nature, the different shades of colour in the form of those beautiful flowers blooming on the ever-green grass.

This place seemed never to disappear or wither. It was like the place was blessed with a magic unknown to people. Just near this blessed place were a crumpled old house, white stones and grey pillars knocked down to the ground, the walls and roof massed partly down.

So much time had passed since the days when this deserted ruins by the shores had given a safe place for the little children who got no place to call home. They had their share of caring and trust at this place that had once been their beloved orphanage

Their only home they remembered, and their only family they ever got.

Letting her green eyes rest on the faraway scenery of lovely ocean and small faraway islands, Edea sighed a relaxing sight when the flow of memories from those good old days came to her mind. She had always loved this shore near the old, now crumpled, white house where she had spent the happiest time of her life. And the most richest too, as the taking care of her big family had been the most important part of her life.

Edea had no children of her own, but all the children that she had taken under her caring wing, had became to be her children. She loved all of them and even nowadays, when every one of them had moved around the world and started their own lives, she visited them often and took care that they all had a happy and fully life.

She loved them all They were her children, and the most important thing in her life. Now and forever.

Following the seashore, Edea drifted faraway into these memories that gave her support and warm.

The soft breeze coming from the ocean, send refreshing touches toward her, and ruffled her waist-long and pit black hair slightly in the air, some of her little shorter front hair tousling against the sides of her fair-skinned face.

Her long greyish dress ruffled slightly by the soft wind too, brushing her legs softly ever now and then with its soft, silk-like fabric. Edea had thrown her simple shoes away, somewhere on her way along the shore, and was now walking on her bare feet.

The pale golden-like sand was soft and even little wet, as the peaceful seawater flipped against the shores peacefully, caressing her feet with the cold seawater at the same time.

Every step she took, she could feel the sand squeezing under her weight, and some damp grains of sand, making their way between her toes. She kept on walking there, slowly taking one step after another, and the only noise that she could hear was the soothing breeze singing tones into her ears, and the soft flipping of the water brushing across the shores and against the big rocks near the sea where the dry land started to raise up.

Suddenly Edea heard a sneeze coming behind her, and a smile crept over to her ruby lips, her green eyes sparkling with the familiar twinkle of warm joy, as she recognised the sniffing belonging to her beloved husband.

Stopping on her steps, she turned to meet the older man behind her, who was now keeping a hand over his mouth as trying to muffle the sudden cough he was having.

That grey haired man, wearing the usual red waistcoat sweater and the long sleeved white shirt under it, raised his green eyes to meet the loving eyes of his wife. A soft smile of embarrassment appeared to the corner of his mouth as like he was a child who had just gotten caught over a jar of delicious cookies.

Edea used the term with loving smile, meaning that little word with her whole heart, as she looked Cid with soft gaze, folding her arms in front of herself. Cid looking her with a caring smile too, admired the glowing image of his wife in front of him, her hair dancing around her.

How did you know I was here Her voice was always so soft, caring and warm as was her expressions. She was the image of loveliness, and Cid always enjoyed her comforting presence, wanting to defend that young love they once had and that had grown into even more stabile and deep love they had now.

Lifting his hand from beside him, he shoved her pair of dark shoes that he was holding in his grasp. Your footprints told me you were here

Still smiling, Edea targeted her gaze to the path she had walked. Her footprints pressed to the wet sand were still clear for quite a long way along the beach, so it was pretty easy to just follow them.

I guessed that I would find you here I know how much you love this place.

Staring into each other eyes, Edea knew that she was obvious to him as he was obvious to her. They could read each other like open books and they knew everything about each other and also understood and supported each other. That was one of the reasons why they were still so in love, even after all these hard years that they had lived together.

They fell in love with each other over and over again.

Edea walked toward him with a smile still playing on her lips, and she landed a soft warm kiss on him, their lips barely touching each other. Retreating, she took the shoes from his hand, sighing dreamily: I'm glad we came here, Cid

So am I It's been a long time since we've visited here

He offered his arm to her and she linked her hand around it, gladly accepting his company for the rest of the walk.

Just walking awhile, they didn't share any words, only looking the beach and the sea, just memorising the past and cherishing this peaceful moment.

Walking slowly along the shores, he glanced toward her with his green eyes, knowing that she had something on her mind. Is something bothering you?

Slowly glancing toward her husband beside her, she moved her gaze back to the ocean scenery, looking the flipping seawater that reflected some of the sun's bright light up to the every viewer's eyes. I had a strange dream last night

You want to tell me about it Looking down to the yellow sand, he waited her to tell more about the dream.

Edea looked him awhile, thinking the dream through inside her mind. Frowning, she decided that it wasn't anything important. It's just a dream, nothing special

It's obviously troubling youJust tell me. Trying to put the conversation on, he looked her more deeply now, sensing that there was something wrong with her just by looking her.

Glancing toward him for once more, she sighed, knowing that he wasn't going to drop the issue.

It wasn't that she didn't want to share it with him, but she wasn't feeling very comfortable about speaking from it, as she just wanted to forget the whole dream that had given her the creeps.

Finally sighing, she started to describe her dream carefully.

In the dream, I'm all alone middle of this black darkness that blocks my sight And then suddenly, there is this voice Her words drifting away, she looked down to the passing ground they were walking along.

A voice Cid looked her questioningly, wanting her to go on.

It chants something like Valete, liberi, Diebus fatalibus...

Stopping on their walk, Edea turned to face him directly now.

It means Goodbye, children, The day has died

Staring into her eyes, he could see this was bothering her a lot, and he didn't blame her. The dream didn't sound very nice.

You think it means something

Now gripping his hand into hers, Edea felt lost. She didn't understand her dream, and felt pained to even consider the dream trying to tell her something. Finally relaxing, she sighed drowsily, broking this solemn silence. It's just a dream I'm sure I will never have it again

Her lips stretching into another wonderful smile, she looked him with an ensuring face, wanting to assure him that everything was all right. At least for now.

Smiling back to her, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a comforting embrace. She took along breath and told herself that everything was all right, as she wrapped her arms around him, taking the embrace and returning it with the same amount of love.

After just holding each other for awhile, he pulled himself away from her and they clasped their hands and looked into each other eyes. Cid could see she was little more relaxed now. Though she was still thinking about the dream, the fact that she had told someone about it comforted her a bit.

What do you say Will we go back to the Garden now Still keeping their hands and gazes locked to each other, Cid asked this with a low sight.

Softly nodding her head, she agreed with him. You go and wait for me outside the yard and I come right after youAlright? I, I just want to spend one moment here Alone with my thoughts Drifting, her smile turned into somehow sad smile.

Approaching her once again, Cid kissed her cheek softly, as she frowned her head slightly down.

I understand Whispering this into her ear, he once more looked her with a soft smile, before he started to walk away from the beach toward the ruins of the old orphanage.

Looking after his form walking toward the orphanage, she smiled a little more happily now. She was so happy to have a man like Cid loving him. He was the love of her life. Her beloved husband that, no matter what, always stayed on her side, supporting her.

Turning to gaze back toward the never-ending sea and little islands, she sighed from the feeling of the soft breeze against her skin. Oh how much she loved this place.

Cid walked toward to the little path that lead toward the backyard of the crumpled orphanage and slowly, he started to stop in his steps. He turned to look toward the lovely beach, and targeted his admiring gaze toward his lovely wife, who was right now looking the sea, her back toward him.

Her black long hair dancing slightly in the air, the wind making big and slow waves to them, tousled against her back.

She, as always, looked so gorgeous, and Cid often found himself watching her and truly admiring her beauty. And even when her exterior was so beautiful, her inner beauty was the highest of all.

Suddenly he could hear someone sneaking behind him, and quickly he turned to see who it was. But it was too late.

Someone knocking to the back of his head with a sword's handle, he fell down to the hard ground, his mind going blank.

Quickly! Take the sorceress A group of men wearing Galbadian soldier uniforms, ran toward Edea who had now turned toward the racket that she had heard coming from Cid's knocking down.

Her eyes widening into slits of shock and fear, she started almost to run toward the form of her husband laying on the ground, completely dozed off.

Two Galbadian soldiers stopped her when she was just kneeling down beside her husband's body, and one of these six soldiers pointed her with a gun, signing her that this wasn't a game.

Sorceress Edea The leader of this group approached her, saying this with affirmative tone.

It sounded almost like a question, and after thinking awhile she nodded her head as a yes to his question.

We've the direct orders from Galbadia Garden to take you in custody And cause I don't want to hurt you, I suggest you come peacefully with us What do you say

Still being confused from this all, she looked them through, almost like making sure that this wasn't a joke.

It wasn't. They really meant this.

I will come
