Selphie Kinneas
Roses
The Fugitive's Rose
Chapter One- Alone
"So I've been reading, and there were sorceresses years ago that would enchant every splinter of wood in a broom with an float magic. Then they could fly on it." Seifer announced as he carried two broomsticks and a pouch of floats. "I'm going to try it now."
The cool winds of Balamb winter blew through Selphie's hair. Fujin and Rajin and left for the winter and so Seifer had only Selphie to talk to. Selphie tugged on her coat as Seifer laid both brooms carefully on the ground.
"Are you going to enchant every splinter?" Selphie asked quietly. Seifer shrugged.
"I can't do that, but I can make it fly temporarily." Seifer dropped small float magic. The broom began to rise in to the air. Seifer hopped one and threw a few magics to Selphie. He began to fly aimlessly into the sky. Without thinking Selphie summoned them all on Seifer's broom. Seifer then flew so high you could no longer see him.
Selphie sighed as she watched Seifer foolishly twirl in the sky. It does look fun… Selphie sighed as she headed back to garden.
"You're pitiful." Mary snickered as she kicked Irvine in the ribs. Irvine swung his arm irritably and rolled over to fall asleep again.
"It wasn't my idea to fetch you, BUT GET YOUR LAZY BUTT UP!" Mary screamed as she stroked Irvine with her katana. Usually, it was like Irvine to return on his feet and give his victim a painful revenge, but truly he was plain tired. Mary fell beside Irvine who still didn't move. "Get up Kinneas, I'm not in the mood." Irvine's head popped up.
"If I didn't listen to you before, what in the world thinks I'll listen to you now?"
"Your useless and pathetic life."
"If my life is pathetic, yours is no better!"
"It may not be the most wonderful but…"
"BUT WHAT!? Spend your life hunting and killing the innocent? When this all started it may have had a good intention, but it's all wrong! WE'RE SLUAGHTERING FOR NO DAMN REASON!" Irvine stood as he retrieved his Bismarck from the ground. He turned his back to Mary, "Where's the Exeter?" Mary shook her head as she hastily gave Irvine his platinum plated rifle. Irvine snatched it away from her and disappeared from the deeper into the distance. Mary panicked for a moment.
"KINEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!"
Tiredly Selphie looked over her graded exam report.

Selphie pitifully threw the paper across her room. Forget this damned school. She buried her face in her pillow and began to weep. Irvy! I miss you so much. She raised her head and looked towards her nightstand. A thin wooden frame held her only picture of Irvine. She raised it slightly and held it close to her chest. She relaxed and returned the picture on the stand. She stood up and rubbed her face and forced a large smile. She couldn't let people see how down in the dump she was. Hyne, protect Irvy, please. She pulled out her Balamb uniform and wore it. She placed on her feet a pair of worn boots and held her Morning Star at her side and left her dorm.
"Selphie." Seifer called as he made his way to her. "Why'd you leave? I needed someone to place the Dispel magic on the broom. I flew so high I might've made it to the moon. Where'd you go anyways?"
"My dorm… I was tired. Sorry Siefi." Selphie rushed away with a smile
Seifer looked awkwardly at her. "Seifi?" Selphie had already disappeared from the corridor.
Selphie entered the TC, training center, and was welcomed or ambushed by five grats.
"Hiyah!" Selphie yelled as she swung her knunchuk at one's tentacles. The bloodthirsty grat replied and sucked a portion of Selphie's energy. She knelt and shook her head as it grew dizzy. She stood again and saw the grats were surrounded in flames. Use the flames………summon me!
Ifrit? The first time I've ever junctioned you and I've already got problems! Selphie stroke the grats again. The invisible flames grew fiercely. No, I don't need you now! SUMMON ME AT ONCE! No! Fool, I shall do it by force then. Selphie felt so dizzy she murmured the words "Hell Fire" as she disappeared in the air. A huge monstrosity took her place and released his mighty fire power. Selphie reappeared and Ifrit and his fiery flames dissolved. Selphie rubbed her head realizing all the grats were dead.
"Not too shabby Tilmitt." Amy smiled as she advanced over to Selphie. "So you have a G.F, well then again who doesn't. Do you have more?" Selphie shook her head as she threw her arms out and whispered more words. Ocean water drowned the TC's flooring. A glowing light appeared and a sweet beautiful voice sang through Amy's ears. Appearing before her was an angel with wings on her head playing a Lear.
"Come… come to the land of no return. To a place happiness is to be learned. Come, come with me. My home is where you are to be… leave your dreams behind. Come to a place of my kind. Come where the sirens roam. This will be your new home." The angel sang magnificently.
Amy, now brainwashed began moving towards the water trying to drown herself. Selphie grasped her collar and screamed in her ear. Amy blinked and the angel vanished gathering her water along.
"Sirens, hundreds of angels who sing songs to make creatures wish to stay and kill themselves for um'. They're neat, but don't listen to them yourself! Hehe!" Selphie smiled widely as she called her last and favorite G.F. "RUBY LIGHT!" A small hole appeared as a small bunny, fox, type animal came and jumped into Selphie's arms.
"A Carbuncle!" Amy cried happily as she petted it softly.
"KINNNEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Mary screamed not caring if anyone heard her. For the fact she was miles and miles away from any other human she screamed louder. "KINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Mary rushed out into the mountain clearing. "I hate boss! Why do I always have to find Irvine!?"
There was a loud roar from behind her. Slowly she turned around and screamed the loudest she had ever.
"BANG!" The chimera whined painfully and fell to its side and closed his eyes in surrender. Mary, who laid on the ground looked embarrassedly at Irvine.
"K-kinneas."
"Save it, I got enough problems with or without the G-Aero. Just get the steppin."
"But, boss said-"
"I would consider my words saying, 'I quit.' "
"What?!"
"I quit, I no longer will slave my life and freedom to the G-Aero."
"Kinneas you wouldn't!"
"Watch me." Mary looked completely helpless on the ground. Little as she didn't want to admit it, Irvine saved her.
Irvine had already started to vanish. "KINNEASSS! NOOO YOU'RE MAKING THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE!"
"I'LL TRAVEL ALONE MARY! FORGET EVERYTHING I EVER VOWED TO THE BULL-$#% OF AN ORGANIZATION!"
Irvine was gone. Mary laid on the ground. Don't leave Irvine, not the G-Aero, not me… Mary ran towards Irvine. Irvine in shock started to push her away before Mary threw her arms around him and kissed him passionately. I love you Irvine Kinneas, Mary thought as she lip locked with Irvine. Irvine's hands appeared at her chest as he pushed.
Mary felt herself fall away from him. "Irvine?" She asked quietly as she looked up at him.
"I'm in love already. Not with anyone who helped me live this cold harsh life."
"I love you Irvine!" Irvine stood stunned. A girl who knew him ever since Lavender died, loved him?
"Sorry, my heart has surrendered already." Irvine rushed and ran hard.
Mary laid dumbstruck on the ground. That damn little girl at Balamb… how dares she? If I can't have Irvine, no one will.
Selphie looked at the night sky, Rinoa and everyone was returning tomorrow. Finally some decent company. Selphie forced upon her face another smile. I'm all alone Irvy… I miss you. She read Irvine's letter yet again as she fell into a deep slumber.
Irvine leaned against a large boulder as his eyes began to slowly close. It had been hours since he abandoned Mary. I'll travel alone, the G-Aero will never get me to dip my hands in innocent blood again. I miss you Sefie.
