The Fugitive's Rose
Chapter Five- The Centra
Don't forsaken me… don't leave me… don't disappear from me.
How do you know someone is waiting for you? He said he love's you, he gave you a rose, and he gave you the best time of your life. Is that enough proof that he is wanting to come back, for you? It's so easy to believe theses signs you never know what's coming.
What if he never wants to come back? What if his intention is playing you on a string then cutting it, letting you fall to Hyne knows where? How can you pour your heart out if you don't know what he really is after? If a guy is so romantic, you refuse to believe a flaw. You don't think he'll ever leave you. But it could all be a lie… a lie.
Think about it
oooooooooooo
Another week passed, Irvine had caught his luck, Halerd hadn't known about Irvine's removal until after he lent every piece of equipment he had. Soon Irvine was gone with a fast boat and Halred was completely clueless. A day or two later a letter was sent to him saying that he had quit and the G-Aero members had him killed. Poor Halerd, he was played right into Irvine's hands.
In garden the first step of the mission was to commence today. It was midnight and the SeeDs where sent on a train to Esther. By dawn they were at the military department.
Tiredly Rinoa sat in a couch in the lobby. The other SeeDs found to area to sit so they collapsed on the floor.
"Balamb Garden SeeDs?"
The five woke with a startle as they rushed to their feet at once. They stood in a line as they laid eyes on the President of Esther. Squall took this as no surprise, obviously. Everyone stood in a salute as Laguna paced before them.
"Today, you five will make history. We are taking on a difficult mission. We've spent millions. And now, our faith relies on you." Laguna paused at Selphie. He laid his strong arm on her shoulder and smiled grimly. "I know we won't fail."
His words weren't comforting or encouraging at all.
Again a few hours passed the SeeDs by until they made it to the "Electraeh". It was a large turquoise ship with a dragon mouth, the cockpit, and a thin slender body, which formed the rest of the ship. Electraeh was supposedly a water demoness, bride of Leviathan. Their was an entire section that resembled an apartment, SeeDs only. Zell took advantage of the endless room service and food.
There were two bunkrooms, and the rest of the place was extremely comfortable.
"COOL! OVER A 100 CHANNELS!" Seifer cheered excitedly as he lifted the remote. Zell found a seat near him as he stuffed a hotdog into his mouth. Rinoa, Squall, and Selphie observed the area as the couch potatoes grew comfortable hastily.
"I wonder why they're doing all this. This must've cost them so much." Rinoa interrogated to herself as she sat herself in one of the bunkrooms.
"I don't get it either." Selphie shrugged as she laid on the bunk in front of Rinoa. "Y'know, I wonder where all of those soldiers are staying. I don't think they all get nice cabins like this."
"Maybe, you never know."
Adjusting to the extensive comfort didn't prove to be difficult at all. Every night Squall would force everyone to review the plans he made, after that Seifer would force everyone to play Triple Triad. They had so much fun they rarely remembered their mission. All the wonders ended the day the ship broke down, in the Centra.
"What?! We HAVE TO WALK TO THE RUINS!?" Zell stammered extremely angry.
Squall shrugged as he turned to the SeeDs. "According to the soldiers, the drop off point was 5 miles away from the ruins, but since it broke down it's going to be 15." Everyone moaned regrettably for becoming so joyful in the ship. Squall turned to Selphie, "They also said Selphie makes the orders from here on out."
Selphie smiled grimly, "Okay! Everyone do anything to make this mission a failure!" Squall squinted his eyes, which wasn't normal.
"Be serious Selphie. You know Irvine isn't going to be there. You know." Squall gave her a look trying to signify Irvine's visit in Balamb. Selphie immediately wanted to sob all over again. Irvine wasn't in Balamb, she didn't know where he was. Selphie's joy withered that moment; she looked at everyone's faces and sighed.
"We'll walk 13 miles today, camp till dawn tomorrow and travel the last 2 miles." She ordered is the most serious tone possible.
"That's insane! Give us a break Selphie!" Rinoa whined.
"What are you trying to do? Kill us?" Seifer argued.
"WE'RE GOING TO TRAVEL 13 MILES NO MATTER WHAT!" Selphie snapped coldly. Everybody's mouth shut. They stood in awe as they observed Selphie's appearance. She wasn't kidding.
Nearly five minutes later they collected their equipment and were headed on the rocky landscape of the Centra. Selphie didn't speak the whole way. Nightfall came, and the moon shone brightly. Something must've went through the Commander's mind, since they walked 10 miles, she let go of the other three and let all of them rest. Selphie softened immediately and was joking around with the other SeeDs.
"Man, the mosquitoes are gonna kill us if not Selphie." Seifer moaned as he slapped his shoulder. Selphie stuck out her tongue childishly as she ate her canned beans. Squall sat with his top off away from the others with Rinoa under his arm. They were distant, so no one was sure what they were doing.
"They're prolly being all kissy kissy." Zell laughed. He rolled his sleeves to his shoulders as he neared the campfire. Selphie chuckled as she slipped her shoes off and wiped her sweat from her forehead. Squall and Rinoa came back with their empty bean cans happily.
"Well lets get sleeping, we have to get to the ruins before the sun rises, it'll get way too hot then." She suggested. Everyone nodded as they slipped into their sleeping bags. Rinoa and Squall embraced and went to their own bags.
The next morning arrived and the SeeDs awoke before the dawn. They rolled away their bags and continued down the dirt-infested area.
"I hate this, whatever happened to "A comfortable ride will be available!?" Selphie snapped as she tugged on her knapsack strap. Squall shrugged as he rubbed his arm. Rinoa yawned in exhaustion while Seifer and Zell argued. The last five miles weren't as difficult as the first ten seemed. Soon a thin tower appeared.
It seemed old and fragile, yet it had an odd structure. "We're here, the Centra Ruin."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
