Chapter 4: Cupid
Besfrenz
Where are the T-rexaurs when you need them? Seifer finished off yet another grat. They were of no challenge to him. His blood was craving for a T-rex. He needed them to vent his anger out at. He figured that, in his state of mind now, he could kill off anything. Well, what's the worst that might happen? Only for the T-rex to finish him off. And that's no way worse than the hell I'm at now.
As if answering his wishes, roars filled up the empty training center that's not so empty right now. Seifer raced towards the source of the noise. An astounding sight greeted him. Two giant T-rexaurs trying to rip each other's heads off. From the sight of all the blood and the gashes on their bodies, they must be really pissed off at each other. Well, that suits me just fine. Really fine. Either it was out of plain stupidity or maybe desperation, Seifer picked up two rocks threw them at the big beasties simultaneously. And of course, as expected, the T-rexes forgot about the grudges held against each other and decided to double team against Seifer.
Without really giving a damn about his life, Seifer raised his Hyperion high and ra towards the bloodier of the two. But unfortunately, he hadn't even hit any of them before a tail smacked his head and threw him several feet off. He felt his few ribs breaking as he landed against the grassy ground. Not even pausing to rest, he muttered a quick sleep spell to one of the T-rexes, That one big baby fell asleep immediately, but his pal decided to take a bite at Seifer. As the fangs sank into his left arm, he sank his gunblade into the throat of the big beastie's throat and let of a nasty shot. The T-rex dropped him immediately and let out an angry roar. Seifer successfully landed on his feet and quickly casted a curaga spell on himself as he backed off a few steps before casting a blizzaga spell on the T-rex. The T-rex didn't stop coming towards him even though blood kept on dripping from its throat. That was when Seifer realized that he hadn't junctioned any blizzaga spells! Sweat trickling down his brows, he casted sleep instead.
Once again, it fell asleep mmediately. Panting, Seifer quickly concentrated on summoning Shiva. He closed his eyes as he called out his Guardian Force. He felt her breaking through the seal and starting to charge up her Diamond Dust. But then, the previously sleeping T-rex suddenly woke up and charged towards Shiva. Bu before letting the monster reach her, Shiva unleashed her Diamond Dust. The Diamond Dust successfully finished off the sleeping T-rex, but the remaining T-rex didn't even seem to be affected by the GF's power. Shiva then retreated back to the seal.
Seifer raised his Hyperion again and slashed at the T-rex. Nothing happened. The T-rex wasn't even nicked. Instead, it kept on coming towards Seifer. Seifer tried another unsuccessful slash before the T-rex's fangs penetrated his chest. He tried casting another sleep spell while trying to remove himself from the T-rex's mouth. But it was futile. M
Maybe this is it¡K He welcomed the pain, thinking that this'll be the end. He heard his bones crunching as the T-rex swung him back and forth. He was starting to black out when a sound reached his ears. He lowered his head and saw something tangled around the right leg of the monster. It happened so fast that the t-rex was caught unaware when the rope-like thing pulled it off balance. The T-rex was surprise, it released Seifer as it stumbled backwards. A float spell was cast on Seifer so he wouldn't hit the ground hard. An elixir was tossed at him and he quickly unscrewed the bottle and drank it. A woman's voice quickly chanted the Degenerator. Seifer saw the T-rex letting out desperate roars as it was forcefully shrunk and shrunk until it eventually disappeared.
Exhausted with all the excitement, Seifer heaved out a sigh and took a glance at his rescuer. Oh well, who else could use a whip and at the same time kill off a T-rex with one spell?
"What were you thinking? Fighting a T-rex on your own. Worse, after the curfew! Are you trying to kill yourself?" Quistis's reprimanding voice stirred something inside Seifer briefly, but it was too briefly for Seifer to really notice.
Maybe I was¡K Seifer turned his eyes from his unwelcome former instructor and stood p stiffly. "None of your business." He started towards the training center's exit, deliberately forgetting to thank her.
Quistis held back the strings of curses that was at the tip of her tongue. Instead of showing her anger and how scared she was when she saw him dangling on the T-rex's jaw, she put on a cool facade. "Listen, don't come here after the curfew, recently some strange thing happen around¡K"
"None of my business." Seifer interrupted, intentionally cutting Quisits off. He hastily shut the door on his rescuer's face as if wanting to escape or to hide¡K Escape what? Hide from What? His hands grabbed his head as memories plagued him. Must forget¡K He felt the wall inside him building up again. He didn't feel anything anymore. He wouldn't feel anything anymore. He straightened himself as he returned to his room.
Quistis stared at the door for a few seconds before calling out. "Come out, whoever you are. No need to hide any longer." She turned around and stared at the bush, as if waiting for something or someone to come out. The bush rustled.
Foeline mumbled something about stupidity as she grudgingly climbed out of the bush and asked Quisits sheepishly, "How did you know?"
The former instructor eyed Foeline suspiciously, "So you were the one that lead me here to rescue Mr. Almasy. You must be the new girl, Foeline Aeignjel. I'm Quistis Trepe," She took her right hand out, Foeline stared at the outstretched hand. Not really sure on what to do, Foeline shook it. Quistis's grip was firm. "Now that the introduction is over, tell me why are you out here this late?"
Foeline's brain raced for excuses.. "Ah, you see Ms. Trepe.. er¡K I was¡K But then.. So I.." What the hell am I saying?!
The older woman let out an amused smile as she stared at the rattled girl, "Never mind, Ms. Aeignjel, come see me at my office tomorrow, we'll talk about it then. It is beside Ms. Xu's office." Relief was obvious on Foeline's face. "Good thing you were here, or else I won't be able to save Mr. Almasy on time. Now return to your dormitory and get some rest. And don't come here after the curfew."
Grateful for the reprieve, Foeline ran/skipped towards the exit. Before leaving the training center, she turned around and waved at Quistis, "Thank you ma'am. Good night! See yah tomorrow!" This might be that hopeless after all.
Hiya peeps¡K You must be cursing me right now for the two years delay. It was just that I totally have no idea what will happen next, and every time I think of something and started writing, I don't like what's happening. So I keep on rewriting and rewriting, until I get tired, until I forget about the whole story. Until I logged on my account two days ago. And something just struck me last night, an inspiration I guess.. : D but I am not complaining, at least I am done with another chapter again. Just not sure when I will come up with another chapter though. Sorry if my writing sucks, or changed or what. I can't help it¡K If the story confuses you or you want to help me out at my story, feel free to e-mail me at althenabqyahoo.com
