Silent Screams
A/N: Just got off of school. Got so many ideas cramming up into one tiny mind and it's time to release 'em!
Chapter 11
She sighed softly, knocking gently on the door. The door opened, revealing a half-dressed Seifer. She averted her eyes away from his bare chest and cocked her head gently. "Can I come in?"
Seifer shrugged, rubbing his eyes while he said, "Sure. Did you talk to him?" Seifer moved out of the way and began walking sluggishly towards the bed. He fell on top of the covers and pillows, snuggling closer.
"Yea, I talked to him." Quistis sat on the chair in the room. Seifer rolled over, staring hard at Quistis. "He said that he doesn't want me to leave."
"Obviously. I could've told you that. What else happened?" Seifer could tell there was something wrong. She crossed her legs, which was rare since she mostly sat relaxed, and she was biting her nails.
She stopped the biting of her nails and sighed. "He said if I go, he's coming." Seifer leapt out of the bed, furious now. "And he said that he doesn't care what you say or do."
Seifer squatted in front of her, grabbing her hands and rubbing them with his. "If he comes, I'll kill him."
"Seifer!"
"What?"
She glared at him harshly. "Why would you kill someone that has done nothing? He's one of my closest friends and if you even try to kill him I'll stop you!"
Seifer glared back, twice as hard. "I thought you wanted to leave it all. I thought you wanted to be free. Well?" She was silent. "Well, Quistis? Are you going to talk or no? I saved your life not expecting this much from it."
Quistis stood up, pushing Seifer down against the ground. "I never asked for you to save my life!" she yelled. Seifer stood up grasping Quistis by her arms.
"I did it because I didn't know it was you!" Seifer was now yelling. "Hell, if I knew it was you, Quistis," he said, his voice turning bitter, "I would've left you in that water." She punched him, hard in the face, again. He grabbed his nose, feeling the blood slip out. "That's what you wanted, wasn't it! To die?" Quistis hung her head, staring at the blood on her knuckle. It was silent for a while until he broke the silence. "Shit."
Quistis looked up at him. "What?" she said softly.
"I think you broke my nose."
Quistis walked over to Seifer, pulling his hands away. She looked at the blood rushing out and sighed. "No, you're just bleeding pretty bad."
"It feels broken."
"Seifer, I know broken noses. That's not a broken nose," Quistis sighed out again.
"No, really, it feels weird!" he complained loudly.
Quistis growled. "That's because there's a mass amount of blood spilling out from inside your nose!" He was silent. "Hyne, Seifer..."
He pouted. "Can you make it stop?"
"You are such a baby!" Quistis threw her hands up into the air and walked into the bathroom. She grabbed a towel and looked at the mirror. Behind her was Seifer, staring at her. "Here," she mumbled, handing him the towel. He placed it against his nose, still staring at Quistis. "Listen, I'm sorry about punching you like that."
He shrugged. "I guess I deserved it." Quistis hung her head feeling like she had gone through her first mental breakdown. "Are you ok?" She nodded. "I didn't mean it, you know."
"Didn't mean what?" she asked as he pulled away the towel. His nose had stopped bleeding and it still looked as perfect as ever. He ran the towel under warm water only to dab it on his face.
"If I knew it was you, I still would've saved you." She smiled softly, hanging her head even more. "And...if you want him to come, then fine. I just don't see why he would want to come."
There was a knock on the door. Quistis lifted her head up, remembering what she had forgotten. "Um...I told Squall to come over here." Seifer glared. Again there was a knock. "Please, don't start anything. I promise you he won't."
Seifer growled softly, watching Quistis walk out of the bathroom. He quickly slammed the bathroom door shut, only to cause more knocking at the door. Quistis walked over to it, opening the door. She saw Squall there, a panicky look in his eyes. "Did you hear?"
"What? What's wrong, Squall?" she asked. Seifer opened the bathroom door, throwing the bloodied towel into the tub.
"Turn on the TV!" he quickly said. Quistis shrugged, walking over to the television and turned it on. Seifer fell on top of the bed, watching the screen.
The newscaster started to say, "I repeat, citizens of Timber! The great, and all-powerful, Sorceress Rinoa has liberated us! Not only has she liberated the town, she has promised pure destruction of the town's prosecutor, the city of Deiling! This is a great day for the city of Timber! All hail Sorceress Rinoa!"
The voice faded as Quistis and Seifer turned to look at Squall. "What the fuck is she thinking!" Seifer yelled out.
Quistis' face went pale. 'The dream...the dream is true! But...Rinoa can't be the ultimate evil!'
Squall looked over at Quistis. "What's wrong?" he muttered out. Seifer was now standing by her side. "Quis, you look like you've seen a ghost or something."
"More like...I think I'm going crazy."
Seifer gave her an odd look. "What do you mean?"
Quistis looked from Squall to Seifer and back. "I...had a dream. Twice I've had a dream where it said that I had to kill the ray of death, the ultimate evil and the final Sorceress." Squall closed his eyes. "I didn't want to believe it was Rinoa, but this voice...it...spoke the truth. It said that the ray of death would start once the total planetary alignment of the sun has started. Which it has, yesterday. The ray of death will die by the one, which is me. I...don't know..."
Squall walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her. "Quistis, you have to relax. I don't think that dream is what you think it means."
"But Squall! It was so real!" she cried out. There was a soft knock at the door. Seifer walked over to the door, opened it up, and saw a cloaked person. "It's...it! That's who told me about this!"
Squall and Seifer looked at each other oddly and both shrugged. "Can I help you?" Seifer asked, obviously peeved.
"Quistis Trepe." Seifer glared at the person. Squall unsheathed his blade, ready to attack. "Quistis, the time has begun."
"Ok, listen! Back off weirdo!" Seifer screamed. The cloaked figure turned its head to Seifer, raising a hand and sending him flying onto the bed. "What the!"
Squall stood in front of Quistis. "What do you want!" Squall screamed out.
The figure cocked its head and sent Squall flying into the bathroom. "Quistis Trepe. She has begun the first stage of the ray of death. The world is now doomed and rests in your hands."
"Why me!" Quistis finally called out. "I've got enough on my mind!"
"You because you were blasted by the ray of life." Seifer and Squall looked at Quistis. Quistis looked confused. "You died when you jumped off the balcony. But at the exact moment you died, the ray of life shone down on you. From that moment on, you became immortal, like myself."
Quistis still looked confused. Finally, Seifer spoke up. "So, you're saying that Quistis has to kill Rinoa or else the whole world is going to die?"
The figure nodded. "After you have killed Rinoa with the Silent Moon, you must destroy the eternal weapon. In doing this, it will remove your immortality sacrificing your one true love." Quistis turned her head to the ground.
"If you're immortal, then this has happened before?" Quistis asked.
"I'm glad you asked. I chose not to accept this fate. Hyne himself imprisoned me to live as an immortal due to my stubborn mind. He had sent another warrior to defeat the ray of death, and I...I was stuck watching the world change through times. I was stuck watching my friends, family, and loved ones die. Hyne sent me to choose you as the next warrior."
Squall walked out of the bathroom, only to be pushed back in. "What the!" he called out.
"I'm threatened by your friends, but I can see you trust them." Quistis nodded her head. "They shall be your guardians, but they are not to touch Rinoa."
"Why?" Quistis asked.
"I've said enough. I should've came in your dream state, but it is necessary for you to know this now. You have exactly seventy-five days; the planetary alignment will be done on November eighteenth. Good luck, Quistis Trepe and her guardians."
With those final words, the figure vanished. Squall walked out, being careful not to be pushed back in. Quistis slumped to the ground, tears falling from her eyes but no sounds were heard. Squall and Seifer were on each of her side. "Quistis, are you ok?" Seifer asked.
"I have to kill Rinoa," she mumbled out.
Squall hung his head. "It's her destiny and yours."
"One of you is going to die," she mumbled out. Squall and Seifer looked at each other.
"How do you know it's one of us? Your true love may be someone you've never met," Seifer said, trying to comfort her.
"Trust me, it's one of you."
