Author notes: No one seems to be reviewing, and that's a big let down for me. Thanks, however, go out to vilg oui, my only loyal reviewer. But if someone else doesn't start reviewing I might stop writing this story. And sorry about how long it took to update.

"Never do that again please. Come to me when you're sad, I'll do anything to help. Never get that low again."

Vincent POV

The boat came to a hault and I quickly ran out of the ship with Dan and Kate a close distance behind me. So, I know my team isn't quite perfect but.. I need to pass this.. I NEED to become a SeeD, if not for me, but for my dad.

"Alright.. Good luck everyone. Keep a sharp eye and make sure you're prepared." I commanded before running off ahead, just barely missing a little girl who was running away from something. Which I guess means that some asshole soldiers are nearby.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" As soon as those words left my mouth, we were surrounded by at least seven soldiers. And trust me, none of them looked friendly. Well, I guess maybe if you consider a, 'I killed your cat' look friendly.

"Ohh Vince! Help!" Kate cried out, cowering behind me as a soldier raised his sword, ready to strike. Ready to kill. I roll my eyes, pushed her back and stabbed the man in one foul swoop. These guys aren't.. too challenging. Honestly, after all that training we're up against nothing more than thin air, it would seem.

Clash. Scream.

The basic sounds of a fight ending with death echoed through the town, scaring some, but exciting others. A second liberation can't be far off. Finally, they were all down.. including Kate. There she was, sitting on the ground kissing my filthy shoes. If I could have, I would have let the soldier at least hit her once. Someone needs to knock some sense into her damn head, and I sadly won't be the one to do it. "Uhh.. Yeah.. No problem. Now get off my shoe." I spoke hastily, gently swatting at her head with my foot. Kate got up in a hurry, nodded her head in a crazed way and hugged me close, letting go seconds later. Yeah, I get it. I'm a fucking hero. Where's my cookie?

I wonder how Kit's doing..

Kit's POV (More or less)

Wake up..

I'm not ready yet.. Just.. A little longer.

You will not do this to me..

I awoke in a cold sweat, gasping for air. Looking around I noticed that no doctors were near, not even a nurse in sight. Now was my chance, I could leave and never have to return here again. I could..

You will go to Timber, he needs you..Close your eyes.

"What?"

When I opened my eyes, I was standing on a building. But not just any building, I was in Timber. Right where she said I'd be..

"VINCE, BEHIND YOU!" I heard a shriek from below me, Kate's scream. I jumped off of the building without thinking, pulled out my gunblade and jumped on the soldier right behind Vincent. In a matter of seconds, he was down and hopefully dead.

"Kit..!" Vince ran over to me, and well.. let's just say the look on his face was priceless. Confusion, worry, anger, surprise, and relief all wrapped into one squished up face. It was sweet I guess, if I actually cared about that kind of stuff. .. What if I do care? You don't..

After my little attempt at heroim I fell flat on my ass. And boy, did it hurt. "You.. You're okay? Man.. I was worried about you, Kit." Vincent said while rushing over towards me, he scooped me into his arms for a moment before realizing what he had just done.

But.. It felt kinda.. nice. Gentle, reassuring. Hold me again, Vince. Please?

"Oh, sorry about that. I was just.. happy to see that you were well. No hard feelings?" He said quickly, adverting his gaze to the ground. "Heh.. Of.. Course not. Thanks for.. being worried and all that. That guy didn't touch you right?" Was I fast enough?

"Nah, I'm fine. You got there just in time. By the way, that was real cool looking. Haha, how'd you do it?"

"HEY! You two, hurry it the fuck up." Kate squealed, storming off shortly after. Stupid bitch, I'm not going for him, don't worry, he's all yours.

Vince helped me up and walked off, heading towards our destination. I wonder how Zone and Watts are doing? Will they recognize me? Probably not.. I've changed so much. It'll be nice to see them again, it's been.. 10 years. I miss you guys.

"So it's us 4 now. Nice to see you're doing well, Kit. Everyone was worried, man." Dan spoke up, looking back at me, smiling and then turning his attention back to walking. Dan seemed really nice, too. All I really have to worry about is Kate and maybe, Brad. They seem pretty close so I'll keep my distance.

"Uhm.. Vince, can I talk to you for a minute?" I called out towards him. He immediately turned around and walked over to me, leaning in knowing full well that my voice was weak. "Um.. Did my dad visit me by any chance?" Vincent shook his head for a moment, "I can't say for sure.. I never saw him when I was there, but that doesn't mean that he didn't go either. Sorry, I wish I knew. And Kit? Never do that again please. Come to me when you're sad, I'll do anything to help. Never get that low again." I looked up at him and noticed his glossy eyes, of course he wasn't about to let them fall but the fact that he cared so much.. It meant. It meant the world to me. "I..I'll work on that." He looked down at me, smiled and then continued on.

My stomach feels sick.. My head feels light..

Shards of glass, They hide my eyes,

You'll never get to see behind,

All the times I've wished to die,

To say goodnight to my life,

To all I've built and survived,

Kiss me goodbye. It ends tonight.

Vincent POV

I hope she knows that we're now in this together. I'll help Kit anyway I can, she'd better come to me whenever she needs help. She always looks so sad, so lost, but behind all that I know that she's an amazing person. Every time she talks to me.. something happens. It's like.. she makes me so happy. Everytime she calls for me, and only me, it's like I'm on top of the world. She needs me, and I need her. Soon enough, she'll see that. I will protect Kit anyway I can. I know that sounds stupid, I know it's only been two days. But there is something about this girl, I know it. I'll be there for her forever.

We were attacked at least 10 times before reaching Zone and Watts. Their faces lit up when they saw Kit, even though they hardly recognized her. There is a lot of her mom in her, so I'm sure it wasn't too hard to tell. She hugged them, I mean, she made human contact. It was probably the sweetest thing I had ever seen. I guess they're closer than I ever realised.

The famous stomach problem was apparently still an issue. So in the end we had to do all the dirty work. It figures. We were to meet with the President, the old presidents son. He was just as bad, if not worse and it was up to us to make him stop. He was hiding somewhere in town, no one knew where, but I knew we'd find him.

"When.. we find him. Let me go, maybe with one other person. But I know what needs to be done, even with all three of us attacking head on nothing would be done." Kit said quietly but she seemed very assertive. "Alright, I'll let you have at it. But I'm coming along. Kate and Dan, you be the backup in case something goes wrong." I gave her the answer she needed to hear right before some little boy came storming into the room.

"Mr.Zone and Watts, sir! I have new information for you. The president has been spotted in the bar, in the secret room for the rich. It'll be hard to get back there but good luck!" The boy rushed through the information, stumbling over his words in the process but I understood most of it.

"Alright, let's go everyone. We'll report back here when we're done. See ya Zone, Watts." And with that we took off, running towards the bar. Minutes later, there we were standing right in front of the pub. No one was around, all of the old merchants that used to be beside the bar were out of business. So far, so good. "Wait here Dan, and Kate. Be careful."

Kit and I walked off but before I opened the door, Kit shouted something out. And before I knew it.. There she was.. changing into something. She wasn't herself, she wasn't Kit.. In an identical outift to the one Edea had worn, there she was..

Kit was a sorceress. And boy, did she look good.
