My Light in the dark

Chapter 12
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. I've been a little busy for the past week but every thing's been calming down. I've been looking at colleges and I've decided on Point Loma Nazareth University in San Diego California. I may only be 15 and in 10th grade but I think looking at colleges now will make my future brighter. I hope I can get accepted and maybe get a scholarship.

Thanx!
Gippal stared at Rikku and she could feel the tears well up. He looked utterly confused and Rikku thought the worst. As Gippal leaned in to view Rikku clearly, her cheeks felt hot, and she was sure that he could see the blush that had absentmindedly crawled to her cheeks.
Eyeing Gippal Rikku once again asked the question.
"I...I guess I don't know how to put this..." Rikku turned her face towards the window searching for the courage that she needed to proceed on.
"Do you want to try the relationship we ended over again?" Rikku had sworn that he had grown ten times bigger since she had first asked the question. She began to feel small compared to his cool and sophisticated gaze. She turned to Gippal when he had opened his mouth to speak. When nothing came out she concluded that he was thinking hard about continuing their once heart filled relationship.
"Rikku..." Gippal spoke, she noticed the tenseness in his voice and she had to restrain herself from running out of the café. Holding her clammy hands together she prayed that whatever he was going to say would be what she wanted to hear.
"...Things between us were shaky then...I mean you were what...fourteen? I just don't understand why all of a sudden you want to rekindle what happened when we were little kids." Rikku looked at him dumfounded. In a minute her world had crushed down on her and her heart had caved in. She looked at Gippal and his cool gaze sent chills down her back.
"I wanted to try you and me over again because I realized we were children and we didn't know what love was...but seeing you again has made me realize how much I missed those times we had. We might have been young but..." once again Rikku held her clammy and now sweaty hands together.
Gippal looked at her, he searching for the right words to say to his distraught ex-lover.
"Rikku back then was a mistake, when you left for the machina mission on the Moonflow and you didn't even have the nerve to say good bye to me...I was really pissed off. Just face it Rikku you aren't girlfriend material you care more about what Rikku wants than you care about the people who care for you want." Rikku froze, her mouth was agar and her hands were clenched. How dare he tell her that she doesn't care for the ones that love her, and how dare he tell her that she only cares about her self. She knew that was beyond the truth. Standing up and hovering over Gippal, Rikku spoke.
"How dare you tell me that I'm selfish, you have no right to tell me things you don't even know. If I am so damn selfish tell me why I became a guardian for Yunie, and tell me why I did every thing in my power to make sure that she wouldn't sacrifice herself for some bewildered lie. Why would I agree to accompany her on her search for the one she loves." Sighing Rikku continued.
"I did it because I love my friends and I would do anything for them...but if you can't see that then...maybe someone else will. I don't need you telling me something that you don't even know." Rikku picked up a glass of water that a waitress had brought her and threw its contents onto Gippal. Grabbing her bag she hurriedly left the café leaving a very unhappy and soaked Gippal behind.
Walking hastily towards the overlook of Luca Rikku broke down. All the tears that she refused to spill during her disappointing conversation with Gippal flowed freely down her red face. Images of the past she had to forsake to accompany Yuna on her pilgrimage began to haunt her, and the agony of the recent blow off Gippal had just given her had been branded on her soul.
Picking herself off the ground Rikku reached for a nearby rail to balance herself with and determinedly moved to the edge of the overlook. Staring at the bottom she placed her leg over the rail.
As she began to maneuver her other leg over the rail the ground beneath her began to shake knocking the distraught blond backwards and onto the pavement. As the ground around her began to crumble Rikku reached for her garment grid. As she equipped her traditional thief dressphere the ground revealed an extremely vicious looking fiend. Rikku's eyes widened at the unknown fiend and she began to draw her claws.
'What is that?'
She knew that she wouldn't be able to fight the fiend alone. Its great size made her suspect that it most likely had great strength as well. Diving forward Rikku's thief claws clashed against the fiends hard scales. In a quick reflex the fiend dove into the tiny female warrior, smashing her into a nearby wall. Women and children's screams could be heard from every corner of Luca. Rikku's limbs began to give out and her movements slowed. She pressed her garment grid and transformed herself into a dark mage. As she slowly sent black magic towards the creature it did nothing but flinch a few times. Nothing seemed to be working, the fiend wasn't even weakening. As she sent blizzara and waterga spells at the gigantic fiend she prayed her friend would arrive shortly.
After what seemed like an eternity the fiend had slowed down. Rikku had been hit countless of times by the fiend's scaled tail. Throwing another Hi-potion into the air she was cut off guard and before the potion could take its full affect Rikku was sent flying. As she came in contact with a nearby wall her bones cracked and her world went black.
Yuna and Tidus ran. After walking around Luca for a few hours the ground around them slightly shook. At first the blew it off as being a quake, but when people began to franticly run past them they knew there was something wrong.
As they approached a clearing of people they spotted an insanely enormous creature and headed for it. Upon their arrival the monster was hovering over what to them looked like an innocent pedestrian. Yuna to distract the Fiend shot at its head. As it connected the fiend turned around and discovered Tidus and Yuna.
"What is that thing?" Tidus shouted as it swung its tail at him. Yuna who was also dodging the fiend's attacks replied.
"I don't know I've never seen anything like it before." As Yuna shot round after round of bullets at the approaching fiend, Tidus swung his Catablog diligently at the fiend's advances. Soon the others had arrived and Paine began trusting her sword into the fiend with no avail. She soon realized her darkness attack would be the best bet. Baralai shoved his two ended stick into the fiend and after painfully scraping some scales off of it he was hit.
"Yuna!" Tidus screamed as he blocked a hit from the fiend.
"Yeah?" Yuna asked. She was trying to heal everyone wounded. The fiend had caught up on Paine slashing her stomach with his claws and everyone seemed to be lacking energy.
"Check on that girl...she may be hurt." Yuna nodded and ran over to the girl dodging several of the Fiends attacks. As Yuna approached the girl she came up upon a familiar face.
"Oh my god Rikku!" Yuna looked at her very injured cousin. Placing her hand over the fallen woman's form she tried to heal her.
"It's not working she's too injured!" Yuna screamed as the others pounded attack after attack at the fiend.
"Keep trying!" Tidus yelled. Yuna once again tried, Rikku's condition wouldn't improve.
"Everyone back up!" Paine yelled positioning herself for her strongest attack. As she gathered energy, rocks plummeted from the sky pounding force after force of fiery rocks onto the fiend. When the attack was over the fiend crumbled to the floor, millions of Pyreflies floated towards the sky. Everyone sighed relieved that the fiend had been defeated. Then everyone's attention was averted to the woman who Yuna was still trying to heal. Rushing over Yuna looked attentively at her usually perky cousin.
"She's too hurt for me to heal. We better get her to a hospital quickly."
well how was it? I tried to put a little action in it but as you can probably see I'm not real good at writing action.
Also I'm not sure if there is a such thing as a hospital in Spira so...use your imagination.
Thanx for all the reviews!
You rock!
