Chapter 13,
Yuna is on Tidus' back as they are sprinting through the forest…..
Yuna felt a sting across her face as a branch slapped her.
"Yuna!" Tidus yelled, he continued to sprint through the forest ducking and weaving even more carefully than before. Yuna buried her head in his wavy blonde hair that tickled her face as it moved in the wind.
"I'm bleeding" Yuna whispered realizing there was a large amount of blood in Tidus' hair. Yuna sighed and placed her hand on her face making the other keep a tight grip on Tidus' shoulder. She felt a strong pulse through her body as the blood began to evaporate.
"RIKKU!" Tidus screamed approaching the camp area. Tidus' face went pale as he approached her body lying on the ground.
"Rikku…" Yuna whispered, she slid of Tidus and kneeled next to Rikku's body. Yuna pulled the bloodstained shirt off her and screamed as she looked at the cuts.
"WHAT IS THAT!" Tidus screamed jumping back. Yuna's eyes grew wide as she read a message carved onto Rikku's body.
"We dine tonight" Yuna said, she felt tears well up as she collapsed onto Rikku's still body.
"Yuna! Get up help her!" Tidus screamed, as he heard footsteps. He spun around as Talon and Rachel came speeding out of the forest. Yuna nodded, her hands turned a bright blue and Rikku's body began to shake..
"Please Rikku, you have to try to come back. Fight them Rikku!" Yuna whispered as her body began to shake harder.
"Yu..na" Rikku whispered, she felt hot tears splash on her face as Yuna dived giving Rikku a bear hug.
"We thought we lost you…" Yuna mumbled feeling arms wrap around her back.
"I tried to stop them… they were so strong" Rikku mumbled burring her head into Yuna's chest.
"We wont be apart anymore" Tidus said, he helped Yuna and Rikku up and gave Rikku a hug.
"Hey, glad ya back!" Talon said stepping forward, he ruffled Rikku's hair and stood next to Tidus.
"The message said they will dine tonight, I don't think they could take us all. If we stick together then there is no way for them to get us" Tidus said. He turned around to see Lulu and Wakka approaching them.
"I want to go home.." Rachel whispered leaning into Talon's warm chest.
"Me too babe" Talon said planting a soft kiss onto her forehead.
"Hunt or be hunted" Lulu said looking up at the sky. Wakka just nodded and wrapped his arms around her. Tidus led Yuna over to the benches, they sat down and looked up at the stars.
"Do we sleep?" Rikku asked biting her lip. Tidus' brow furrowed as he thought.
"Lulu, Talon, Yuna and I will stay up for half the night. Then we can swap" Tidus said making a small fire for warmth. Rikku nodded and skipped into her hut. Wakka planted a kiss on Lulu's cheek.
"If they come, scream and ill save you" Wakka said, Lulu laughed and sent him a smile.
"Ok, ill call for my big knight if they come" Lulu replied, Wakka chuckled and followed Rikku into the hut.
"Night babe, ill make sure no one comes" Talon said, he gave her a hug and she walked into her hut.
"Well that's everyone, what now?" Talon muttered sitting on a bench surrounding the fire.
"We wait" Lulu replied sitting next to him, Talon nodded and looked over at the huts. (a/n. hehe luv ya Talon )
"Lets prepare…Just in case" Tidus said stroking his sword. Tidus let out a yelp as he got knocked to the ground.
"FIRAG..." Lulu was cut off as she realized there was a young blonde clutching Tidus' back.
"I'm scared…. Wakka is scary…. I'm staying out here" Rikku mumbled now moving to hold onto Yuna. Lulu let out a small laugh as Wakka walked closer to the fire.
"Aww is my big knight scared too" Lulu teased, everyone laughed as Wakka scratched the back of his head. Tidus sat between Yuna and Rikku putting his arms around them.
"Never fear, Sir Tidus is here" Tidus announced causing an uproar of laughter.
"What would I do without you" Yuna said nuzzling into his chest. Talon perked up as he heard a rustling behind him.
"Show yourself!" Talon said picking up his own sword. Tidus stood up and picked up his own, Rikku put on her claws and Lulu stood with her hands at the ready.
"TALON!" A voice screamed, Talon's eyes grew wide as Rachel appeared with a knife to her throat.
"One move and she is gone" A voice said, Talon watched as the cold steel pressed against Rachel's neck.
"Plea.." Talon started before hearing a loud screeching noise.
"Looks like it is hungry" Another voice said, Tidus took Yuna's hand.
"Who is it" Talon asked standing remarkably still.
"It is a creature that lives of human flesh, you are its dinner" The first man said. Lulu began to softly chant, she quickly put her arms up and sent a firaga at the man holding Rachel. Rachel quickly dived out of the way. Talon rushed over and helped her up with one spare arm. He slowly backed towards the group holding his sword in his other arm. A bright light flashed through the forest as a slow rumbling sound echoed through the forest.
"Looks like your too late" Another man said, Tidus smirked as five more men made themselves visible.
"I hate to burst your bubble but we can easily take you and your creature!" Tidus yelled. The men started to laugh, Tidus and Talon lunged at the men making visible holes in all of them.
"WHAT'S GOING ON" Rikku screamed as the men began to turn to blue dust.
"Istilites, they are the followers of a ancient demon called Minerva" Lulu said.
"Minerva?" Yuna asked placing a comforting hand on Rikku's shoulder.
"Minerva is a snake demon that feeds off human flesh, it was thought to be defeated a long time ago. It makes a low rumbling sound as it tunnels through the ground" Lulu said. Rikku started to clench her fists.
"Look, we can beat this thing lets just get it over with" Tidus said, tightening his grip on his sword. Rikku began to wince as the rumbling noise got louder, she let out a shriek as the ground began to shake and a giant snake burst through it.
"Lets go!" Tidus screamed, Talon and Tidus began to lunge at the snake but were whacked back by its tail.
"Lulu!" Tidus yelled as he picked himself off the ground. Lulu began to chant sending a massive blizzaga at it.
"QUICK WHILE ITS FROZEN!" Lulu screamed, Tidus lunged at the beast sending cuts and slashes all over it. Rikku ran forward and sunk her claws into its tail. It let out a screech as blue blood began to pour out from it. Talon quickly picked up his sword and stabbed it into the Snakes's belly. A loud screech echoed through the forest as the creature turned into a large pile of dust.
"We won?" Talon asked looking around at the remains of the beast.
"I don't think so…" Lulu said examining the dust.
"STEP BACK!" Lulu screamed jumping back from the dust. A large banging sound emitted as the particles of dust began to explode.
'RUN' was heard over the explosions, They all began to run as the forest was set alight by the explosions. Talon squinted through light and grabbed Rachel's hand.
"TO THE BEACH!" Tidus screamed taking Yuna's arm and sprinting down the passages. The heat was almost unbearable sending burning sensations through their bodies. Tidus dived into the water letting the intense heat slide off his body. He opened his eyes and looked at Yuna who was smiling at him, he smiled back and rose to the surface. Tidus turned around to see Lulu, Wakka, Talon and Rachel huddled in a group in the water.
"RIKKU!" Tidus screamed, he ran out of the water and back into the forest.
"RIKKU!" Tidus screamed again now feeling the fire burning into his skin. He looked around the camp and saw a collapsed Rikku lying on the ground. He picked her up and held his breath running through the forest.
"Be strong Rikku, be strong" Tidus said, his eyes were watering from the extreme heat. He saw the exit and he ran out right into the water.
"TIDUS! RIKKU!" Yuna screamed she ran over and placed her hands over the two. Yuna began to shake as blue light emitted from her body engulfing Tidus and Rikku. Tidus let out a scream as the pain doubled then left.
"Yuna" Tidus whispered, he felt arms lift him out of the water and place him onto the beach.
"You'll be ok ya" Wakka said placing Yuna next to him. Tidus smiled and turned his head to look at Yuna. Her eyes were shut but her breathing patterns normal.
"Thank you Tidus" Rikku said, Tidus looked up at the now standing Rikku.
"Its ok" Tidus whispered clutching his stomach and sitting up. Rikku sat beside him and gazed out at the sea.
"Do you think they will find us?" Rikku asked feeling the a cold chill of air sweep past her.
"I'm not sure anymore" Tidus replied, he stroked Yuna's hair and gazed down at her.
"What ever happens, we have to keep our spirits up" Tidus said gazing down at Yuna's perfect face.
"We have to be strong…. I have to be strong" Rikku whispered to herself.
"Do you miss him?" Tidus asked looking at Rikku. Rikku just nodded and turned to hide her tears.
"I forgive him you know" Rikku mumbled gulping as tears began to slide down her face.
"You ok Tidus?" Talon asked, he squatted in front of Tidus and Rikku with a concerned look on his face.
"Yeah, I'm good" Tidus said, Talon gave Tidus a highfive and looked at Rikku.
"You're a tough little girl you know" Talon told her, Rikku smiled and looked into his eyes.
"And you're a tough little boy" Rikku replied letting out a fit of giggles. Talon just chuckled and stood up.
"We really need to find camp" Talon said looking into the still ablaze forest. Yuna stirred opening her eyes slightly, she began to cough and splutter up some water.
"Hey there" Tidus whispered helping her sit up. Yuna sent him a smile and looked at Rikku.
"Rikku oh I'm so glad your ok!" Yuna exclaimed giving Rikku a hug.
"You too" Rikku replied, she felt hot tears stream down her face as she felt Yuna break the hug.
"I'm being strong for you" Rikku whispered, Yuna smiled and ruffled Rikku's hair.
"Me too" Yuna whispered, the cousins began to laugh forgetting everything bad that has happened.
"Lulu has found a good spot ya" A voice said. They turned to see Wakka standing on a rock.
"Lets go" Tidus said, he stood up and began to stretch. Rikku and Yuna helped him up and started to follow Wakka.
"Hey what's wrong" Talon asked Rachel, Rachel sent him a smile and looked away.
"I'm scared, I don't want to die" Rachel said letting tears freely flow down her face.
"You wont die, no one is going to die" Talon reassured her, he gave her a quick kiss on the lips and began to quicken his pace. Rikku bit her lip and looked away from the couple..
'I must be strong, I must be strong' Rikku thought to herself…..
