Written by UNKNOWN
The Peace that is longed for by all mankind
Lives within each of us, but is so hard to find.
Her bottom rested on the tip of the boulder. She was exhausted, hungry, and confused.
Seifer had abandoned her for an hour.
"I'll be right back."
That's what he said.
But, was he?
'No...he should've been back sooner....this shouldn't be happening to me.....why me?' she empathized herself.
Quistis massaged her temples and drifted into better thought.
'Well, it could be worse.' The notion relieving her so, she did not worry of possibilities.
Nevertheless, things WERE worse, much worse.
The evil and terror she'd be suffering, her fait, right under her nose.
She was so oblivious, she always was.
'My friends were killed and I hadn't even known....' She pulled herself together and arose, trying to gather her pride.
'I've gotten my revenge! Rinoa and her damned plans are destroyed! She's- she's dead!'
No.
Not even words could help the matter.
Not anything would bring her friends back.
Nothing would bring her happiness and security back.
Quistis clouded fact and only to find that fact was reality.
She wasn't in some sort of game or novel.
THIS was real.
So real she began to sweat.
In the coldest of weather, she began to perspire.
Her emotions brewed in a pot, mixing together.
She was burning with mental anguish and it was like a rope tugging around her neck, strangling her.
Strangling her to death.
In her mind, she screamed.
"Quistis. I'm back."
She picked up her head, seeing Seifer return pushed her thoughts away.
"Seifer!....Why did you leave me for so long?!" she whined.
He sent her a look, a look so cold that she never forgot it.
A look of pain, anger, frustration.
He'd been through a lot, a lot more than she had.
He'd even tried to save her again after she ran away from him.
Why was he doing this for her?
Why???
"...I'm sorry." Quistis apologized.
He nodded, acknowledging her late apology.
Quistis stood up and twidled her thumbs, rummaging for the perfect introduction to a lovely conversation.
"Umm..."
she scanned him, deciding to compliment him.
Rather than discovering something to compliment, she found the nasty wound Squall had left him with.
Her eyes broadened as a pang of worry overcame her.
"You need to heal that!" she scurried over to him.
He turned away from him, "Leave it. I'm fine."
Quistis refused to let his wound become far worse and she ripped a shread of her grey night gown off.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Helping." She handed him the long shread, he blankly stared at it.
"I don't need it."
Quistis hadn't moved or responded, she gave him an intense look that he could not turn from.
He motioned to her to hand him the cloth and she did.
As he wrapped it around his chest, like a torniquet, as she sat at the tip of the boulder once again and sighed.
Seifer really had changed.
His once cocky, arrogant, immature young-self had faded into a serious, wise, matured man.
After associating with the sorceress, he was throne into jail for 2 years.
'Poor Seifer...' She concluded.
"Are you...hungry?" he broke the silence.
She looked at him, she hadn't realized she was clutching her stomach and leaning.
"Ohh um...Okay."
He lifted a brow, "I suppose okay means...yes?"
"Yes." She added a nod.
He took off once again.
She didn't know when he would return either.
She sat, she waited.
The moon slowly crept into the darkness as the dark blue color blanketed the sky.
The moon full.
Quistis stood and decided to walk down the path a little further.
She started to think about Seifer again.
His maturness, so similar to Squall's.
Squall...
Seifer...
Quistis smacked her head angrily, "What am I thinking?! I need a cup of coffee....where the hell is he??" the hard-dirt terrain formed into soft sand.
A beach.
There was a sea, a sea of stars.
The Pam trees swayed back and forth back and forth as the danced with the wind.
The moon gave a radiant luminance to the area.
It was almost like a painting.
Fascinated by the beauty of the beach, she hadn't noticed....
---Yep! I'm leaving you there! This chapter was to let you get the feeling of Seifer and Quistis beginning to warm up to each other. ((Btw))—I know Seifer seems a tad Ooc, right? Well, if anyone doesn't like that I can't help it, he's changed after all of this. Well, anyways I want AT LEAST to have at least 2 reviews and I will continue. I had to go to long island for doc. checkup, I'm fatigued. Believe me, I tried to make this decent.
