Good and Evil

Chapter 9

The Escape

Selphie woke to Quistis shaking her to consciousness. "Quisty, it's.." Selphie looked over at her clock, "3:30 in the morning." Selphie said still obviously tired. "Come on Selph, we have to go kill Seifer." Quistis said as she put her hand out to Selphie. "Kill Seifer? Boy that's one thing I never thought I'd hear come out of your mouth." Selphie said trying to ease the moment. "Now's not the time for jokes Selph, now get up and get ready, we have to leave before people start to wake up." Quistis said as Selphie did what she said. "I'm gonna go get Rin and Ellie up, come and meet in the lobby when you are ready." Quistis said as she slipped past the snoring Irvine on the couch. Selphie grabbed some clothes, went into the bathroom, and changed. She walked up to Irvine and kissed him on the cheek. "Bye Cowboy." She said as she walked through the door. While Selphie was walking down the hall, Ellone, and then Rinoa met her. They all met up in the lobby with Quistis. "Okay, now what we have to do is go to the entrance to heaven, and go into the room, and walk across the hall into another room, and then open the door, and we'll be in Hell." Quistis said as Rinoa, Ellone, and Selphie looked at her like she knew everything. "Hey Quis, how did you find all this out?" Rinoa asked. "Well, I couldn't exactly sleep last night so… Wait, we need to go, the cleaning crew will be here soon." Quistis said as they walked to the entrance of Heaven. They opened the door and walked into the room. "This way." Quistis said as they followed her. "Oh yes, did you guys grab your weapons?" Quistis asked. "DUH!!" Selphie said with much sarcasm. "Where would any of us go without our weapons?" Selphie said as Rinoa and Ellone kind of looked down. "I accidentally forgot my weapon." Rinoa said giving a sorry smile to Quistis. Ellone said the same thing so Quistis sent them back to Heaven to get their stuff. "You wait for them here, I'm gonna go check out the stuff here." Quistis said as Selphie yelled after her, "Don't let Seifer get you!" Quistis walked through the door, and looked different. She looked bad. Her hair was slicked back with gel, her glasses were gone, she was wearing entirely black, but it was just like her normal clothes. "Whoa." Quistis said as she looked at herself amazed.

Quistis walked around and saw a clothes store, so she went in. She came out with a bag, and had some tight fitting clothes in it. "Just so we fit in." Quistis said to herself, as she saw someone walking down the street. She ducked behind a trashcan just to be safe. It was Seifer, and he was mad. You could tell just by looking at him. When he walked into a bar, Quistis ran back to the entrance of Hell. Selphie was still standing there, but Ellone and Rinoa were just across the hall. They all walked in, and changed just as Quistis had. Selphie's hair went down past her shoulders, and her eyes turned from green, to red. Rinoa's highlights in her hair went away, and her clothes turned to black. Ellone's eyes became black, and her fingernails became very very long. Quistis pulled out her shopping bag. "Here you go you guys, I did a little shopping, so we would look like we belong here." Quistis said as she handed each of them a tight shirt and tight shiny pants, with sunglasses, and black heeled platform shoes. They all changed, and they were glad Quistis got them those clothes, because if they were have to walked into the city with what they were wearing before, they would have felt so out of place. They walked around until Quistis stopped. "What's the matter Quis?" Rinoa asked. "This is where I saw Seifer." Quistis said as she pointed to the building that Seifer had walked into. "Lets go look." Quistis said as they walked across the street into the bar. They went up to the bartender to ask where he went. The woman said he went up the stairs. So they went up the stairs, and went up to a door. "Shhh.." Quistis said as she crept up to the door, and put her ear up to it. She could clearly make out what they were saying. "Have you found him yet?" She heard one voice say. "No, he has left the premisise, I've looked, looked some more, and looked even more. He's not here." Quistis heard another voice say. She was sure it was Seifer. "Well find him, and kill him, then find the others, and kill them all. I will have complete power!" The other voice said, as Quistis heard them walking towards the door. Quistis ran over to another room that had a door, and hid behind the door. Seifer and the man, also known as Satan, walked down the stairs and left the building. The girls followed them until they got to this big mansion. "Whoa." Ellone said. "I'm scared, Rinnie hold my hand." Selphie said as Rinoa ran over to Selphie and grabbed her hand. "The Devils Manor." Quistis said looking up at the house. "Whoa how'd you know that Quis?" Rinoa asked her. "It says the Devils Manor, right here." Quistis said as she pointed to the brick column with the gold plaque on it. "Oh, that explains it." Rinoa said as she let go of Selphie's hand and walked forward to push the gate open. "Rinnie, there's a lock on that gate." Ellone said pointing to the lock on the gate. Rinoa turned around and said, "You know what?! Why do you have to be so obvious all the time, for once can you just SHUT UP!!" Rinoa kidded. As everyone watched her yell at Ellone, the gate opened mysteriously. "That's better." Rinoa said as she turned around to find the gate wide open. "Did that just.." The other girls nodded their heads. "Come on lets go!" Rinoa yelled as she ran ahead to the front door. " She's so hard to keep up with." Selphie said as they all tried to catch up with the speedy Rinoa.
