Chapter 3.
Dead Parents and Eerie Walls
Everyone seemed to be a bit flustered about Tidus' strange behavior; the painting had eyes, they weren't blind. Maybe Tidus was the one with the problem? Or maybe not...
"Okay, are you sure your ok? 'Cus you look really freaked out! I mean, c'mon, we wouldn't lie to you! The painting has eyes!"
Rikku squealed at Tidus. Tidus scratched his head and turned around to face the group,
"Ugh. I'm fine. I guess I'm just... imagining things."
"Well that's definitely true. I won't deny it though, this painting is strange..."
Seymour added, glancing at the painting, with a finger on his chin. Wakka nodded in agreement,
"Ya. Something's not right 'bout it, brudda."
"Oh well."
Seymour mumbled turning around, facing the s,
"Shall we go back to the kitchen, ladies?"
"I'd rather stay out here with Wakka and Tidus..."
Rikku hissed. Seymour rolled his eyes and shrugged. He then turned to Lulu and Yuna,
"Miss Lawrence? Miss Rollins? Shall we...?"
Lulu shook her head, and Yuna did also. Seymour sighed,
"Well... what now?"
"I don't know but did someone turn down the heat?"
Tidus asked, shivering. Rikku rubbed her hands together,
"I sure hope not! But it is freezing in here!"
"Does anyone know where the bathroom is?"
Yuna asked, changing the subject completely. Seymour smirked,
"Of course! It would be upstairs somewhere"
"And Seymour doesn't know where it is."
Tidus cut in. Seymour and Yuna exchanged looks then looked at Tidus, who had his arms folded and was in rage,
"Yes I do! It is upstairs and"
"No you don't."
Tidus cut in again. Yuna looked at him quizzically and then back at Seymour,
"Come. Just ignore this scoundrel. I know exactly where the bathroom is, Miss Rollins."
Seymour said, grabbing onto Yuna's arm, and walking towards the stairs. Wakka looked at Tidus raising an eye brow,
"I think someone's a bit jealous, ya?"
Wakka said with a chuckle. Tidus blushed,
"No way! That guy just freaks me out..."
"Same here. He gives me the willies!"
Rikku chirped in. Lulu folded her arms,
"Yeah but do you guys think Yuna and Seymour will be ok alone?"
"Of course! No worries! I mean, what could possibly happen?"
Rikku asked. Lulu shrugged and looked at her feet,
"So when are we going to witness some real ghosts, guys?"
She asked anxiously. Wakka chuckled,
"Sometime soon, ya? I didn't come here for nothing!"
·················································
"Are you sure this is the right way, Seymour?"
Yuna inquired. She didn't know if she could trust someone she just met. Seymour smirked putting a hand on her shoulder,
"Of course. I have been here before many times, this is nothing compared to my place in Guadosalam."
He explained comfortingly. He then pointed towards a door,
"I believe that is the door to the bathroom."
"Okay. Thanks. I can get by on my own now."
Yuna said with a smile. Seymour returned it with a nod and headed back downstairs.
Yuna opened the door and screamed.
·················································
"What was that?"
Wakka asked in a yell. Everyone was surprised by the scream,
"It sounded like that Yuna !"
Rikku exclaimed. Lulu shook her head,
"I knew we couldn't trust Seymour."
Seymour, however, had just heard the scream, and was rushing back up the stairs. He opened the so called bathroom door and also screamed. Well actually he shouted, but you know.
"That's two screams in a row, ya! We gotta go see what's going on!"
Wakka exclaimed. Tidus nodded and dashed up the stairs, Wakka behind him. Lulu and Rikku looked at each other and nodded.
·················································
"Yuna! W-what?"
Seymour asked, and saw Yuna standing by the bath tub, sobbing.
"What's going on here?"
Tidus asked, as the door came flying open. Wakka and Lulu came in after him, with Rikku behind them,
"What's up, Yuna?"
Wakka asked with a concerned voice. Tidus moved over towards Seymour, who was watching the bath tub with big eyes,
"Oh my Yevon!"
Wakka shouted, cursing at Yevon for the first time in years. Lulu's eyes went big along with Rikku's and Tidus'.
"Wh-who is it?"
Rikku asked, trembling. Yuna stood up, wiping the tears from her eyes,
"M-my... father... and mother..."
She whispered. Seymour shook his head not believing it,
"What! But didn't your father"
"Yes he did defeat Sin... and he sacrificed himself for Spira, b-but I don't understand why his body is right here!"
Yuna cried, tears running down the side of her face. Tidus walked up towards her,
"Someone is absolutely nuts!"
He said with seriousness in his tone. Seymour nodded in agreement,
"This is disgusting! Come, Yuna, you shouldn't have to see this!"
He said, extending a hands towards Yuna. Yuna looked down and took it. Wakka nodded, walking behind them. Tidus clenched a knuckle; he already liked Yuna, and seeing her cry made him aggravated. Even more aggravated then seeing Seymour next to Yuna.
·················································
"So... they're already trying to scare us away."
Tidus said as they walked out.
"This is crazy! I mean, what's next?"
Wakka asked.
"Wakka's right. What is next?"
Lulu asked, walking behind him. Seymour clutched onto Yuna's arm tighter,
"Yuna, be strong. I know it is probably hard to see these things, but remember, you're strong, right?"
He asked whispering in her ear.
"Think we'll see worse?"
Rikku asked, shaking with fear.
"Definitely."
Tidus responded walking next to her.
"Oh... poopie."
Rikku mumbled. Surprisingly, they heard a noise and saw the shadow of a figure near the hallway.
"Who is that?"
Yuna asked, worriedly.
"It's just me."
A voice said. Auron came out of the darkness.
"Auron! There's a man in the bath tub!"
Tidus cried to him. Auron raised an eye brow at him,
"Hmm... it begins."
He said simply. The group gave him a 'what the' look,
"What do you mean; it starts?"
Tidus asked. Auron chuckled and walked down the stairs, but Tidus refused to let him go,
"Hey! I'm not done talking to you! Don't run away from me!"
Wakka pulled Tidus back,
"H-hey! Lemme go!"
"Let him go, brudda."
Wakka said. Tidus pulled himself away from Wakka,
"Agh! But, what about that Yuna's dad and mom? I mean, he's just gonna let them rot?"
Yuna started to cry again. Wakka smacked Tidus on the head,
"Hey! Watch your mouth! Yuna's dad was a high-summoner, ya? And let's forget about it. There's probably gone be far worse."
"Like that... thing?"
Rikku asked, pointing to the ceiling. Everyone's eyes glanced up at the ceiling,
"Is that..."
"What the!"
"I-it's..."
"Akk!"
And then the world went black for all of them.
