Angelina couldn't feel anything. Her body had lost its control and was now powerless. Adel had taken her body from her. 'What's happening to me? Did I die?'
She found herself in a place from her past. 'Oh hyne! Is this Winhill?' Winhill the place where everything went wrong, the place where she met Luke.
'Hyne, I don't want to remember that. Please don't make me remember.'
She didn't want that horrible memory to come rushing back. She didn't want to remember the physical pain. He had raped her. It was unfortunate that she didn't see it coming.
He had been so kind when she came into his house crying. She was having anxiety attacks all the time after they had broken up. She couldn't handle being alone. The only thing he did that was suspicious was asking her to go up to his room. She went up obediently, unaware of the nightmare that lay ahead.
After it ended, he had thrown her out into the cold. She had nothing to wear but ripped and tattered clothes. She vowed she would never love another man again.
'I broke that vow, didn't I?' She smiled to herself. She had met Seifer, who had ruined everything. He was so sweet to her she just couldn't control it. She had to give into her desires. What was she supposed to do?
Suddenly, another memory flew in. This was the proof she needed to fuel her suspicions. 'Luke and Seifer...they look familiar.' It was true. They both had predatory green eyes and the same face structure. 'Could it be possible?'
Was Luke in some way, related to Seifer? 'Oh hyne! No wonder I mistrusted Seifer in the beginning. He's related to Luke!' She wondered...were they brothers or father and son? 'Luke was a good twenty years older than me. Oh hyne it is true! I was raped by Seifer's father!'
"Seifer," Neibia questioned. "Are you okay?" He shrugged.
"Being on a boat doesn't make me okay?" She smiled as the ship went through another wave. There wasn't much to smile about though. They might have to kill Angelina.
"Seifer, do you think we will have to kill Angie?" she asked meekly.
"Who knows?" he sighed. "What I don't get is why Adel is trying to kill her! Won't killing her kill her as well?"
"I think so. There is a catch to that rule. If someone else kills the gifted one, Adel will live forever. But if Angelina kills herself, the world will be cleansed." He looked confused.
"Then we can't kill can we," he said angrily. "We have to watch her kill herself." He dropped his face into his hands. He was quiet for the rest of the ride.
All he could think about was what he was going to do? What was he going to do when she was gone? He knew it was her destiny to die for a new world. 'If I stop her, Gaia will be damned forever.'
He loved her so much though; so much that he couldn't let her go. What could he do? He was in love! 'I wish I had met her sooner. Then maybe I wouldn't have gotten possessed. Maybe I would have had the strength to fight it.'
He looked at Neibia. She was fast asleep. 'Wow, it doesn't take much for her to fall asleep! I wonder what kind of dreams she's having? Are they about Angelina?'
He could only hope that wherever Angelina was, she was alive and well.
Angelina had to get out of there. She had to fight Adel. Out of nowhere came her inner half. It smiled crudely at her.
"We need to find a way out now do we," it snickered. "Your other half doesn't seem to agree." Angelina growled. 'Why can't she understand that we need to find a way out of here! I can't just stand around all day.'
"Well that's too bad," Angelina gloated. "If we don't do anything, we're both going to die!" It seemed to be unmoved by her threat.
"You don't get it do you Angelina? We don't have a body."
"Yes we do," she implied. 'Adel has it; we have to get it back!"
"Why even bother?" it sighed. "The world is doomed either way." Angelina shook her head profusely.
"You don't want to believe in the people of this world."
"Why would I," it sneered. "Every person there is a vicious, ravenous beast! They might as well be animals. "Don't you see, we are above them."
"No," she shouted. "We're human, just like everyone else on Gaia."
"Maybe you are," it pointed out. "But I'm not. I'm above those filthy beggars!" Angelina sighed. This was going to be harder than she thought.
"Please," she begged. "You've got to help me." It laughed at how pitiful she sounded.
"Why do you care about those humans so much?"
"I'm in love with Seifer Almasy," she sighed. "I don't think I'd be able to die knowing I failed him. You may have never been in love before. At least help, for me."
"Very well," it sighed. "I will help you. Besides, it's only a matter of time before the end comes."
"Neibia," Seifer shook her awake. "We're at fishermen's horizon." She groggily stood up and rubbed her eyes sleepily. She had slept through the entire ride!
"What," she yawned. "We're at Fishermen's already?" he grinned.
"Yeah, you slept through the entire boat ride." She laughed.
"That's no surprise. My father once told me I could sleep through a hurricane," she smiled friendly.
"Come on Neibia," he ordered. "We have to go to Esthar now. We have to save Angelina remember?"
"I know," she agreed. "I even took the liberty of buying two tickets in advance."
"Thanks," he sighed. He didn't think he had enough Gil for the train. They strolled through town until they reached the train station. They paid for their tickets and boarded the train. They sat across from each other once again as the train began to move. Neibia was worried about him. All he had done so far is put his face in his hands.
"Seifer," she whispered. "Are you okay?" He looked up at her with a tear stained face. 'Damn she saw me cry! If we ever come out alive, chicken wuss is going to have a ball.'
"I'm fine," he lied. Why didn't she understand? He didn't want to be bothered right now!
"I understand," she said. "You must have loved her a great deal." He nodded.
"I did, but it's none of your damn business anyway!" She backed off, shocked.
'From what Angelina told me he was a sweet guy; he doesn't seem to be very nice right now. Although, it could be because he's terrified for her life.' Seifer wished he could cry, he wished he could sob so much. He was numb from all the pain.
'Angelina, please be alive. Please be there when we get there.'
Angelina's plan was working. Adel's hold on her was weakening. 'Maybe I can finally get out of here and complete my destiny. This has to work, it must!'
"What's going on," screamed the outraged voice of Adel. Angelina smirked. Maybe she would finally get her revenge for Rinoa's death.
"Adel," she screamed. "I want you to go to hell, and stay there."
"You can't kill me," she roared. "You're destiny says you die." She ran up to Adel's transparent spirit.
"Not entirely," she said slyly as she ripped Adel's heart out. Blood dripped from it as it still vainly tried to pump anyway. Adel shrieked in pain as her soul faded away. "My destiny doesn't say I die until I want it to."
She finally got control over her own body. She found she was in Esthar. 'Ironic, of all places I had to end up here.' This was where every thing began. This was where she had met Julia that fatal day.
She looked down upon herself. Everything seemed to be the same. Her old red sweatshirt and black pants were on her. 'Adel must have known that was my favorite outfit.'
She tried to walk, but she was too exhausted from fighting Adel. "I must...rest," she murmured as she collapsed on the ground.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful," Neibia awed. "It's a shame we can't sight see." The two got off the train and began their search for Angelina if she was still alive.
"Neibia, we don't have any time. We have to find Angie remember," he hissed.
I know," she sighed. "I'm just trying to keep my hopes up in case the worst may happen." He nodded. 'How can she try to keep her mind off it?' "Okay, where should we look first?" He shrugged.
"No clue."
"Why don't we ask the people here if they've seen her?"
"No way. They don't even know her!"
"It's worth a shot isn't it?" He groaned and they began their search. After asking many people and getting no results, they began to get discouraged.
"Dammit!" he cursed. "I told you know one would know her!" A young woman with short black hair approached them.
"Excuse me," she said politely. "Are you looking for someone?" Neibia smiled politely.
"Yes we are," she informed her. "We're looking for Angelina Caraway. Have you seen her?"
"Actually yes," she smiled. "Come this way." They followed her into an old fashioned inn. There they found Angelina, sitting on the edge of her bed with her face in her hands. She looked up.
"Seifer," she breathed. "Neibia! What are you two doing here?" He ran to her and kissed her passionately. Their tongues explored each other's mouths while they embraced each other.
"Seifer," she smiled. "You came for me. Thank you." He fiercely kissed her again.
I'll always be there for you Angelina," he caressed. "Remember that always." Neibia cleared her throat in an attempt to interrupt them for a second.
"Excuse me," she announced. "I don't know if we have time to be making out with each other. Sorry to interrupt you Angie, it just needed to be said." She stopped kissing Seifer for a moment.
"Oh no it's fine," she beamed. "Seifer and I have all night to catch up if you know what I mean." Niebia pretended to look shocked.
"Angie, you wouldn't!"
"Of course I would," she grinned. "Don't worry, I'll tell you all about it tomorrow morning." She left with Seifer and headed into a private room.
Once they were sure no one could see or hear them, Angelina drew him into a fierce kiss. Their tongues danced together as their hands roamed each other's body. Angelina moaned as Seifer spread his hands all over her tired body. His lips went to her neck, sending a shiver down her spine.
"Seifer," she giggled. "Stop teasing me." He grinned as he stopped.
"What if it don't want to," he joked. She pinned him onto the bed.
"Then I might just have to give you a little spanking." He grinned as he kissed her again.
"Damn, I love you Angelina," he purred. She kissed him back.
"I love you too Seifer," she breathed. They spent the rest of the night expressing their love to each other under the cloak of the full moon.
The next morning Angelina shot out of bed. 'Hyne today's the day.' She gently shook Seifer awake. He opened his eyes and rubbed them sleepily.
"Morning Angie," he yawned as he kissed her. She smiled at him, as she dressed for the day in a long gray cloak that fell to her ankles. He looked confused. "Angelina what's with the cloak? You look a widow."
"Today's the day," she said solemnly. Seifer got out of the bed and threw on his clothes. He drew her into an intimate embrace.
"No Angie please," he breathed. "I don't want to lose you again." She kissed him softly.
"I will always be in your heart," she whispered. "Even if you don't remember me."
"Why wouldn't I remember you," he asked, shocked. "You're the nicest, most beautiful girl I've ever met. I would never forget you." She managed to half smile at him as they left the room. She glanced sadly at Neibia who was having a friendly conversation with Ellone.
"Neibia," she called to her. "It's time." Neibia looked at her with a shocked expression.
"Angie please don't go so soon," she begged. "Adel is gone. We can live in peace." Angelina shook her head.
"Remember when I told you I never wanted to be the gifted one? I want to make it so."
"How can you? The prophecy will still be in set in motion!" Angelina shook her head.
"Not unless I make it so I never existed." Neibia gasped.
"Hyne, you don't mean erase yourself from existence do you? There must be another way!"
"No Angie you can't!" Seifer yelled. "I won't let you do it." Ellone stepped in.
"Seifer," she joined in. "Angelina wants to do this. You've got to respect what she wants." His eyes were filled with tears. He hugged her tightly.
"I love you Angie, don't you ever forget that," she kissed him fiercely.
"I won't ever forget that. Ellone do you have the potion?" Ellone nodded.
"What's the potion for," he demanded. Angelina looked him straight in the eye.
"It's a potion which is supposed to cause someone to miscarriage." Neibia started to cry. She ran to Angie and hugged her.
"I will miss you Angelina even though I will not have any memories of you. My heart will still remember you." Angelina tried to smile with teary eyes.
"Good bye," she cried as she went to Ellone. "I believe you know what to do," she said to Ellone. She nodded as she opened up the time compression once more. The last they ever say her do was smile warmly before she disappeared from their memories forever.
