Silent Screams Chapter frickin 42

Eleni walked out of a wall, smiling the entire time as she walked. She placed one foot in front of the other, causing her hips to sway with every step. Squall backed up some, summing up his target. Seifer stepped forward some, being sure to cover the party if need be. Nero stood there, his hood covering his saddened face. Quistis took a breath, stepping front of Seifer.

"Well, what have we here? The little Blue Mage? Hmph...I should have killed you when I had the chance," Eleni spat out like venom.

Quistis' head began to throb once more. "Stop it, Eleni."

"Why? What's wrong? Is someone feeling a little dizzy?" She snapped her fingers, causing Quistis to collapse to the floor. "Why yes! Yes, Quistis is feeling very dizzy..."

Squall stepped forward, ready to pounce. Nero placed his hand in front of his chest. "No. Only the Blue Mage SeaD can touch her."

Squall growled out. Seifer bent down to Quistis, picking her up in his arms. "Stop it, now!" he roared out.

Eleni got a saddened face on now. "Why, if it isn't the LAPDOG."

Seifer grimaced by hearing that word. He placed Quistis down behind him, his arms hanging at his sides. "Don't call me that."

"What? Don't call you what? LAPDOG? Here boy, tch tch tch, here lapdog! Come here LAPDOG!"

He pulled out his Hyperion, charging for Eleni. He was about ready to slice her, only to feel the sword be pulled back by the tip. "Seifer! Don't!"

He looked behind him, rage filling his jaded eyes. Quistis was sitting up, her whip entrapping his sword. He looked back at Eleni, her head shaking. He walked back and as the slack grew, he placed his sword back to his side. Quistis stood up, her entire body stumbling. "Quistis, are you ok?" Nero asked.

"I'll be fine. I didn't realize this was a trash talking contest, flabby ass," she spat out at Eleni. Eleni's eyebrows pointed down now. "I mean, sure, you got the face, but come on now. What girl in her right mind would let her ass get THAT flabby? That, and you're left breast is bigger than the other is. Can we say odd couple?"

With rage, Eleni bounded forward, only to be stopped by a protective bubble. Quistis slammed her right foot, implanting it into the metal ground. Eleni scratched and howled like a wolf against the bubble. Quistis began to tremble. "Quistis!" Seifer called out.

"Look, we can't defeat her without the sword, right?" The three men nodded their heads. "So go find it! I can keep her occupied!"

Nero looked towards one of the doors, grabbing Squall and pulling him along. "Be careful!" he called out to Quistis, his brown hair flying back to her. Seifer stood behind her.

"Go! Go find the god damned sword, Seifer!"

He shook his head. "No. I'll stay here with you. Ok?"

Quistis moved her left hand, flicking it softly, lifting the man up and flinging him to the door. "GO!" she roared, her voice reverberating against the metallic walls. Seifer sighed, turning around and trying to find the other two men. Quistis placed her left hand back on the bubble, now seeing Eleni slowly whispering something.

She extended her hands, a maelstrom causing the bubble to burst, sending Quistis flying into the closest wall. She cried in pain, forcing her arms to cover her face. The fire roared and echoed in her ears. Eleni stepped closer, the fire still darting out from her palm. "Haha! Come on, Blue Mage! Put up a fight!"

With one swift movement, Quistis extended her wings, flinging herself out towards the fire, enclosing the few feet that separated her and Eleni. She tackled the petite blonde to the ground, slamming a fist into her face. She may not have her sword, but for Hyne's sake, she had her fists.

She flipped off of Eleni, throwing a Curaga into the air, healing her wounds. Eleni stood up, rubbing her jaw, feeling the warm blood drip out of her mouth. Quistis pulled out Ultimanaga, casting it on Eleni.

The light engulfed her, giving Quistis enough time to run out of the room and into a different room.

oooooooooooo

Squall grabbed a hold of Nero's shoulder, stopping him. "I just heard Quistis scream."

Nero spun around closing his eyes. He reopened them, looking back at Squall. "Listen, she'll be fine. Eleni won't kill her until the day of the Solar Eclipse. She needs Quistis alive in order to use the Lightning Sword to its fullest."

Squall sighed. "Fine. But if she dies, I swear to Hyne himself, I will find a way to kill you." He hadn't said it to reassure either of them, he fully meant it as a threat.

Nero rolled his eyes and ran on down the hall. Squall followed behind, something glittering caught his eyes, and he stopped. "Nero!" he called out. Nero spun around, staring at Squall. "There's the Lightning Sword!"

He ran into the room, Nero now running back. As he reached the doorway, a large metal wall slammed in front of him. Nero pounded against the wall. "Squall!" he called out.

oooooooooooo

Squall pounded against the door. He heard Nero pounding, and his screams. He pulled out his sword, swinging aimlessly at the door. There was not a scratch on it. He growled loudly, spinning around. He had seen nothing but an illusion.

He looked left then right, finally seeing a blonde man wearing a gray jacket. "Seifer!" he called out.

Seifer spun around, waving to Squall and running up to him. "Hey."

"Listen, Eleni is changing the maze. I just lost Nero, but I'm sure I can get to him."

"Really? Is that a fact?" Squall looked at him harder, noting the red streaks in his eyes. "What is it, Squall?"

"You're...not...Seifer..."

With those words, the 'Seifer' extended his arms, the skin peeling off and revealing a rather large and scary looking demon. Squall darted down the hallways, now not caring which way he took. He ran into a wall, spinning around to go the other way, only to be trapped at a magical dead end. The demon pounced towards him, the magical dead end turning into a magical...room.

oooooooooooo

Nero pounded harder on the wall, finally leaning against it, giving up. He pushed away, turning the way he had turned from, only to see a wall. He spun around in the room, seeing nothing but walls.

oooooooooooo

Seifer continued to run. He had heard Squall call out his name, but when he went to walk to him, Squall pounded the other way. Seifer took a left, resulting in hitting a dead end. He spun around, seeing three more walls. 'What the hell?' he thought.

oooooooooooo

Quistis leaned against the dead end wall, not caring about the fact that the walls had closed her in. She continued to breath heavy, her whole mind spinning around like a cyclone caught in a twister in the depths of the eye of the hurricane. This entire running was too much for her. She looked at her arms. Cuts and bruises aligned her arms in a delicate, almost swan like, manner.

She stood up, her bare feet sore and more than likely bruised as well. She suddenly punched the wall. "Shit!" she screamed. She searched her magic. She could use Maelstrom, but she didn't know if Squall, Seifer, or Nero were near her.

She suddenly felt weak and heard an ominous laugh ring in her head. She grasped a hold of her ears, collapsing down to the ground, drifting to sleep.

oooooooooooo

In the middle of this all stood Eleni, watching the Lightning Sword slow down. "What?" she whispered, her wicked smile falling to a frown. "What the hell is going on?"

She closed her eyes, seeing Quistis lying on the ground. She turned to the east, where Squall was lying on the ground, then to the west, where Seifer was lying on the ground, then finally to the south, Nero lying down.

She sat down against the wall. 'Fine. You want to let them sleep, Hyne? Let's let them sleep...'

She closed her eyes, slowly entering their minds and dreams.

A/N: Well, is being bad. I uploaded everything, checked it this morning, and everything was removed. So I deleted it all, only to replace them all again, only to have the originals show up. oO yea, I got confused. But it's all ok. Everything is re-uploaded. Riiight.
