Authors Note: Let's see this is where the drama really kicks in now I have not updated because well frankly I've just been hesitant that's it! Things are getting messy in this one and I just know people will be angry... for a while at least, but know that this story does not end in tragedy. No matter what takes course. Also no it's my story and I can have character do or say what I want. This is a DRAMA, and I don't like to write sad endings. That's all I have to say

Chapter 15 Deja Vu

There was absolute silence. The crowd's breath was already taken to far back to do another gasp. Instead they all stared at the lone petite figure, many with hands clattered over their mouths and wide eyes. Kid didn't know what to do the only thing that rang through her thoughts was... No!

No, she would not marry him. No she did not love him. No she did not want this. NO! Please stop her heart from breaking she was begging him, begging Cloud with her eyes. No! How could he do this to her now. She could not say yes. She was not in love with him and she did not want to be with him, but he was her friend. She did not want to shatter his happiness, his hope. Kid did not know what to do. She had made a mistake when she told Cloud that her and Serge were not together.

Serge could not breath. He had been punched in the stomach. He could not think. He had been hit in the head. He backed up in shock and stumbled as he did so. He needed to leave. He needed to escape. Get Out! Screamed his instincts. As he got up, still so shocked he felt no pain from the blood spilling out his knee, he saw the door... Yes the door to his escape. He remembered now it had been left carelessly unlocked. Serge got up fast and quickly opened the huge door and ran down the hallway letting the door slam shut behind him.

Kid was so lost in her fear and thoughts that when she heard the echoing of a door slamming she jumped just ever so slightly. She knew instantly what it was in her gut. A door. Her eyes suddenly just noticed the people sitting on the elevator grove high in the ceiling. Serge... Her intuition told her, that Serge was fleeing. Up there somewhere, trying to run away from her, as she had ran away from him for so long. Kid knew she needed to get out of her situation and get to Serge. Now! So she made the only choice she could so not to embarrass Cloud and make a scene.

"Yes..." Kid replied it was so quiet that everyone heard her tiny voice. Cloud smiled at her, but Kid did not even return it for she was focused on one person and one person only and his hair was dark.

As soon as her response was out the crowd started their chatting and once again began to rummage around. Now Kid could get out unheard, unseen and unnoticed. Kid took off at a run dodging everyone in her way. She was running to the elevator, where Serge was. As she ran someone spotted her and ran up next to her. A bleached blond hared man wearing armor. Kid never noticed him running along side of her, until he spoke.

"You don't love Cloud?" He said in a statement more than a question. Kid continued to look ahead as she ran, and she did not say a thing. Glenn smiled at her silence. He knew he was right. The two were getting closer to the elevator. A blue dressed and tanned blond women noticed the two running she immediately join them. She did not act herself as she spoke, finally making sense and back into reality.

"Your going to get Serge?" She said in a statement more than a question. Once again Kid was so determined on reaching her destination she acted as if Orlha did not exist. Orlha nodded at Kid's silence and at that the three friends arrived in front of the elevator.

Kid's feet slid to a stop. Glenn's and Orlha's right behind her. They both stood just behind her one to her left, one to her right. Kid stood still with a blank expression looking at the elevator before her. She was about to make a big step in her life and she was now for the first time being hesitant about it. This felt a little to familiar...

"Kid you can do this." Came Glenn's voice.

"Don't be chickening out on us now Kid." Came Orlha's. Kid turned to face them. She nodded with a smile then she turned around and slowly walked aboard the elevator. The man in charge switched the knob and up Kid went. She watched as Orlha and Glenn became smaller and smaller. They reached the top with a thump. As soon as the elevator stopped Kid was off again. She burst through the giant doors and down the halls. She knew exactly where to find him.

Serge crashed through the door to the balcony. His heart beating a million miles a minute as the serene setting came into view. The balcony of the manner was now before him. It's green Herb's and multiple flowers flowing in the cool night breeze. The dim candles illuminating in a flickering orange glow. The dark casting shadow of the upper part of the balcony. The marble golden floors shining in the two moon's light. The trickling sound of the steady water from the small fountain in the center of it all. It was so very beautiful to Serge and yet so oddly familiar.

His heart's pace was now just starting to slow down as he stared out at the calm sight before him. Serge was not sure if it had sped up from him running or just from all the events of that night alone. He shook the thought away as he steadily began to walk out towards the terrace. His chest was still beating up and down as he walked. He was still huffing for air as well just doing anything to calm himself.

Finally Serge reached it, the end of the balcony. He stopped and let his hand slide across the green marble railing. Serge closed his eyes as another cool breeze washed over his face causing his dark locks to fly up. Slowly he reopened his eyes at the sound of huge waves crashing into sharp rock farrier below. The wind and white full moon were causing the sea's waves to go crazy this night. There were no boats that dared go out tonight. Not even the best ferries left the docks let alone any swimmers. Those waves were suicide.

Serge let out a sigh as he looked out at the sea. That sea, he knew it so well. He had grown up on it's banks and had traveled all over it, even under it once. The sea was the real mainland of his world.

In the distance was the silhouette of a far off island. Serge instantly knew which island it was. It could only be the Earth Dragon Island. That was the only island just north of the manner. Serge knew this world like the back of his hand. He knew all it's islands, it's geography, most of it's people and all of it's stories. He was part of most of those stories, he had created them through his quest. If not made them he had acted upon them, like in the legends. It was going to make it harder for him to leave the place behind.

Did that matter so much though? Nobody knew who he was anyway. Or at least not very many knew Serge was the hero, but that really never bothered him until now. The people recognized war hero's like Cloud, but not the person who saved them all from FATE and the Dragon gods. Then there was Lavos...

Serge got chills at that thought. He immediately reminded himself that lavos was gone along with all the other evils. Lynx was gone too, there was nothing left to harm Kid. He had destroyed it all. There was just Cloud. At one point in his life, Serge would have jumped Cloud at the slightest glance towards Kid. Things were different now, in a way he could not explain to himself or anyone.

This made Serge wonder, what had happened? How did he come to this. Where did he go wrong. Serge felt like he had had everything he ever needed, then with the realization of Cloud's proposal to Kid he had lost it all. Finally knowing he could never have her, made him feel like nothing. He wanted to cry himself dead, but he could not find the tears. He wanted to shout his soul out, but he could not find the words to scream. Serge wanted to beat the pain out of himself, but he could not find the will to bleed. There was nothing Serge could do, he just wanted to stop breathing.

With out thought Serge's body acted. His hand's gripped the marble rail and he felt himself step on top of it. The other foot soon followed. Now he stood tall on the railing, the rough sea miles below.

This was familiar, he remembered when Kid had fallen from the terrace so long ago into the bluffs. Serge remembered the fear wrench through his heart as he raised over to it's edge.

Kid was gone, that terrified him. Steady footsteps approached, his back. Serge twisted around only to meet the green glowing eyes of Lynx. Lynx began to speak. Serge saw the mouth move, but did not comprehend most of it's word. Lynx spoke mostly of them joining together. Lynx could see that his words were not reaching Serge when he became hostile. The last thing Serge could remember was Lynx nearly lurching at him yelling CHRONO TRIGGER! That was when Serge made his choice, he jumped over the railing and into the waters below falling unconscious on the way. In the distance he could hear Lynx's voice fading away...

Back then Serge would have rather died with Kid before he betrayed her. He probably still would have made that same choice if events had been different. He still had faith back then, well right now he was fresh out of faith. Serge just wanted to give up.

Suddenly Serge heard a creaking noise from behind him. Then came steady footsteps. Serge felt like he had been warped back in time, the only difference was the footsteps were much lighter then the last time. Then the footsteps came to a halt. Serge felt the presence and he could hear it's breathing. Then came the voice,

"Serge?" Her tone was puzzled. Serge twisted around just like he had years ago this time to bright blue shining eyes. If only she knew what she did to him. Just seeing her made his heart wrench. She was so beautiful...

"Serge... what are you doing?" Her voice snapped him back to reality. Serge knew what he wanted to do, some things needed to be said. He turned his back to her again to be sure that he did not loose his gull.

"Kid... Do you remember when you fell from here? I do, I remember jumping after you because I would have rather died with you then join Lynx. I still feel that way." Serge stated as he looked down at the bluffs.

"Serge, where are you getting at?" Kid now sounded concerned.

"Funny how history kind of can repeat itself at these places, yet the make up always seam's to be different along with the turn out." Serge almost laughed at himself.

"What are you talking about Serge? Would you just get down from there! Your scaring me!" Kid begged, her voice now picked up a panicky worried tone. Serge's head snapped towards her.

"All I wanted was for tonight to be perfect Kid! I Was going to tell you how I felt! I was going to finally tell you all the things I've been waiting to for so long, the things I hid from everyone! The things I hid from you and myself, but it's to late now! It means nothing now!" Serge yelled with desperation and rage. Hot water gathered in his eyes, but no tears spilled.

"Serge if your talking about Cloud, you need to know I don't care about him!" Kid shouted over him, tears of her own gathering. She was figuring out what was to come. She hated crying, especially in front of people. Especially in front of Serge, she wanted to always be strong for him.

"What did you tell him?" Serge asked his voice barley above a whisper.

"Does it matter Serge I don-"

"WHAT DID YOU ANSWER!" Serge demanded in a fierce loud voice that echoed through the night. His eyes slammed shut his fist clenched along with his teeth. It took all Serge had to hold back the tears. Kid jumped at his yelling. Never had Serge scared her like he was now. Her face went pale and her breathing went heavy. She kept her eyes to the ground. Her head was so low her bangs cover her eyes.

"I.. I said yes..." She whispered as the tears rolled down her cheeks. Serge's eyes went open Kid looked up at him. "But, I had to! Ya need ta understand! It was the only way I could go after you!" Kid yelled between sobs.

"Why are you crying? You have everything you want!" Serge replied his voice cracking mid sentence from holding tears. That hurt Kid, that sentence she felt weak enough in front of him, by crying, but now she just felt worst.

"Listen.."

"No! I don't want to hear it any more Kid!" Serge yelled. His head went up and he let out a breath along with two tears sliding down his cheek. He made no other noise. Footsteps came running towards the balcony.

Coming Next: You will mostly all hate me for the next chap, but just know this story is not going to add sadly and it is my story that's my only warning so keep reading. What is going through Serge's mind? What could crush Kid more than the way she crushed Serge. Someone is going to need support and with the way Glenn is acting it looks like Cloud is going to have snap him back to reality for both Orlha and Kid.

Please review I know I don't update much anymore, but that is because I'm afraid of what people will say of the upcoming chapters.
