. My Second Chance- Chapter 3 .

-*-*-*-*-

I could the luminous features of garden at the horizon, I was home back home but something was different. I was standing in the fields between Balamb and the Seed garden and everything seemed normal, until I noticed the silence. Not a single sound could be heard, not even the sound of the dancing hay around me. Not a single car could be seen on the street that led to the garden, not a single fiend in the fields, nothing.I reached out me Save the Queen but it wasn't there I had no weapon.I swallowed and started to walk toward the street, looking nervously around me, for the first time of my life I was frightned even more than on the Island closest to Heaven. I felt an incredible relief when I stepped on the hard surface of the road but my relief didn't last long. Something was moving in the field, I could hear it. It just behind me, I could even hear his rough breathing. My heart was beating faster at each step I took, the sound of my boots echoed in the night. I quickly looked over my shoulder and then, I saw it. The creature from the Island, the Siltrider, it was pursuing me. It blood red eyes were locked on me, reflecting any emotions but hate.

I started to run, run as fast as I could toward the garden but it was still gaining ground. I turned and kicked the creature in the face, sending flying back in the field, I didn't knew if I knocked it out but I kept running straight foward. I almost believed the creature was until I heard jump behind me. I tought I would die here for sure until I saw someone leaning against the garden fences. '' SOMEBODY!! HELP ME!!'' I kept screaming until I had no voice and luckily the person heard. I could see now that it was a man. He wore a gray trench coat whit a red pattern each sleeves and he held a gunblade risen up toward the sky. The moonlight reflected upon the blade and now I reconized it, it was the Hyperion and the man that ran toward me was none other than Seifer Almasy.

-*-*-*-*-

''Quisty?..Quiiiisty.QUITIS!!''

I let out a despleased grunt as I saw Rajin leaning over me. '' Are you okay? You were screaming like hell, y'know..'' asked the dark skinned man. I murmered a short '' I'm fine.'' as I rolled out of small couch that I fell asleep on. '' We're at Balamb station, me and Fuj will wait for ya outside.'' Said Raijin before walking of the Seed cabin. I yawned and streched my arms over my head. All muscles were prostesting against the effort I was asking them but the train's bell were telling me to hurry up so I grabbed my suitcase and ran out of the cabin, toward the train's nearest exit.

As I've been told Rajin and Fujin were waiting for me by the station entrace. They were talking whit the shop keeper, a petite brunette that looked a bit like selphie, she was probably one an their old friend.Then, I noticed that it was already dark outside and that the moon was now high the sky, probably around midnight. I sighed and glanced back over the small chatting group, Fujin was silent and it was Rajin that made all the talk as always. I smiled at the thought, those two never change even after all they went through. This fact made me wonder about Seifer, would he still be the same? Would he still have his unchanble grin glued to his face. Would the old Seifer be back or willit be a whole different one.I didn't knew about that but what I could be sure was that soon I would know. By the time I emmerged about my thoughts Fujin and Raijin finished talking and they standing next to me by now. They didn't bothered to ask if I wanted to pass the night here or if I wanted to go immediatly at the garden because they already knew the answer. Together we walked toward the exit. Everyone was silent even Raijin until we passed next to the garage at Balamb's limtis. '' RENT A CAR?'' asked Fujin before stopping to read the signs. I gave her a short nod and dug out of my pocket some gils and I handed them to Fujin along whit my suitcase. '' I wait for you outside the city.'' I informed the poses as I walked away letting Fujin and Raijin deal whit the location papers what I coudln't do since I was probably considered dead.

I was already halfway between the garden and Balamb when I started wondering what could have took them so long but I looked back toward the seaside city when I realised the strange fact that there was no fiend around. What was even stranger was the feeling of deja vu that I had then it hit in the face. I looked at my belt and I remembered that I left my whip in the suitcase that I gave to Fujin. The silence, the missing weapon, everything was exactly like in my dream. I looked behind and at a certain distance some strands of hay move, the creature was coming. I didn't knew what else to do so I ran as I did in my dream and as I tought the creature was catching up whit me. I decided to play since I could espace in the nightmare. I turned around and kicked the creature and restarted to run. I could discern the Garden's gate by now but I felt horrified when I realised that Seifer wasn't there. I let out a desperate scream, I knew that if I just kept running the creature would catch up whit me and that it would probably kill me so I had no other choice left. I faced the Siltrider and got ready for the combat, I wasn't going down whit a fight. I tried to kick the creature in the face as I did previously but this time it dodged my attack and twisting it headed backward, what any normal monster could whitout killing themself what made me feel like puking but the sound of the opening garden's gate stopped from doing so. I quickly looked over my shoulder and there was, looking in my direction. There was my chance, I took a deep breath before screaming as hard as I could. I kept screaming for help until I saw that he was now running toward me just like the dream. The creature used my distraction to dive his long claw as sharp as razors into my right shoulder. I let small cry of pain before falling to the ground. I saw the hyperion blade slash into the creature's burned flesh and cut it's way out of the siltrider chest. Black blood was flooding out of the fatal wound as the creature fell to the next to me. I heard the sound of the car in the background as dizzyness took over me. I fought against the black void that covered my vision. Fujin and Rajin arrived next to me rolling over the dead creature's body what made me laugh a bit. I didn't know who carried me inside the car. The last I did was to look into the car's mirror and I felt a sharp pain travel through my body and void of darkness took me over this I couldn't push it back.

In the mirror's reflection, where the creature's body should have been lying was nothing, nothing but a dark stain of blood, my blood.
