Stuck Together

Chapter 7: Nowhere Left To Go

You know, I was going to make the snake poisonous, but I decided Yuffie had too many troubles going on...especially to what's going to happen to hr in this chapter and the next...oops, I wont say anymore.

*~*~*~*~*

********Squall's POV*********

I walked along the desert with the nineteen year-old girl in my arms.

She had closed her eyes a while ago and nuzzled into my chest. I could feel her breathing through my white shirt and it was light and gentle. Every once in a while I would look down at her beautiful sleeping face and smile slightly, and then return to where I was going.

The sun was beating hot against my skin, but Yuffie was as light as a feather so it didn't make it any difficult. However, I was worried about her. She had a large cut going down her arm, and now she had two large fang marks in her leg. I knew she was trying to not be weak; she always tried.

The wind started to pick up around me, but it was still hot.

"Squall," I heard Yuffie murmur against my chest. I looked down and saw her still asleep. She's dreaming about me?

I looked back up to notice the sand flying across the ground rapidly.

Up ahead, I saw several large pyramids, but beyond that are the small buildings. There better be people there or else Yuffie and I are dead.

My long hair blew off my shoulders as the wind picked up some more.

Sure, I had bite marks in my leg too, but they weren't as bad. I had just knocked the beast off before it got serious. But the snake bit right into her bone. She's lucky that the bone didn't break, or that the snake didn't bite her leg in half.

As I walked, I walked past ruins of what looked like old buildings. But they were only a foot high, and the sand pretty much got to them.

Yuffie shifted in my arms. I looked down and saw her eyes flutter open. As soon as they were opened and she was awake, she had a tight look upon her face.

Her hands quickly flew to her leg, and her hands held the wound, as if to stop the pain.

Her eyes were shut tight and I heard light groans escaping from her mouth.

"What's wrong?" I asked her as I kept walking.

"It hurts," she said through clenched teeth.

"Where're going to stop in a while by that pyramid, then we'll fix it up."

She nodded and leaned back into my arms. Her hands were off of her wound, but her eyes were squeezed tightly, trying to hold back the pain. I kept staring at her as I continued my pace.

She soon relaxed a little, but still had her teeth clenched tight. The large pyramid ahead was getting closer and soon they would stop by it and fix their wounds... somehow.

The wind picked up more, but the sun was still beating hot. Something was strange about this wind. The sand was also fluttering off of the ground, letting the wind carry it somewhere distant.

I turned around, Yuffie still in my arms. As soon as I did that, I felt a big gasp of wind, and sand came into my eyes. I shut them tight, and I heard Yuffie moan.

When I opened them, I was startled and walked back a couple of steps, my eyes widening.

Right there was the largest sand storm I've probably ever seen. Well, it was the first one I've ever seen, but it still was huge. The sand rose up higher than the pyramids, and these pyramids seemed to rise to the sky.

I could hear the wind blow violently and the sand crushing against things in its path. It wasn't far away, but was heading towards us.

I took off at a dash towards the pyramid as Yuffie bounced in my arms.

"What's going on?" she muttered as she opened her eyes looking at me worriedly.

"Sand storm," I muttered and ran faster. I heard her gasp and turn poke her head around my arm to see it. She quickly put her head back to me. "It's not far away,"

"Thanks for the confidence." I muttered quickly as I continued running.

The sand was catching onto my legs, and I could feel it whipping past my body. Yuffie dug in deeper to my chest, trying to use me as a shield to the sand. The sand didn't get to my eyes, but it was hard to see with the sand flying past us.

The pyramid was not a couple feet away, and the shade was on the other side. I ran to the other side, hoping that this pyramid was a good shield. I stood facing the wall of the pyramid, as the wind and sand whipped past. Even though we were on the other side, it was no good. The sand still got to us, and soon the sand would bury us alive.

I looked around furiously. This might be it; there was no other shelter.

Something caught my eye.

On our side of the pyramid was a door. It was yellow and had engravings on it. Forgetting what the door might have said, I ran over to it, with Yuffie in my arms, and pushed it open with all my strength while keeping Yuffie in my arms.

As soon as I opened, the wind was rushing around frantically, sounding like the whistling of a tornado. The sand started piling up, and I entered the pyramid. I gently put Yuffie down on the ground, and closed the door quickly, not letting the sand come in.

I took a deep breath as I put up a hand up against the wall to hold me in place. I looked over at Yuffie and she was looking at me and then looked around. I did too.

This must have been a death place to what we saw.

Wahaha, ok that's the end of this chapter. Sorry it was a little short. But next chapter will DEFINETLY be longer. It'll be the longest one and will be more actiony and horrory, lol. My words ^_^.

Thanks for the reviews again. This goes to Deplora. I was going to make the snake poisonous, but I decided that Yuffie had too many things going on, lol.

Next Chapter: Squall was right about the death chamber. There were not only dead things in here, but traps and mazes. The door was locked, and they were trapped in this deathville unless by some chance they would find there way out.

Review!
