A/N Thanks again Auron's fan for reviewing me... you deserve a cookie but I don't have any so you'll have to just except the compliment that YOU ROCK! Yeah.. anyways... third chapter..
(Becca)
I sighed and looked back up at the ugly face of Seymour. 'Geez, he's even worse in person... how could Yuna stand kissing him?' I brushed my thoughts aside and plastered on a fake smile as Seymour started to speak... again.
"Where are you staying...er.."
"The name's Rebecca... Becca for short," I told him, still smiling.. awkwardly.
"Becca then.. so, where is it that you're staying?" My smile faded a bit.
"Um well..." For some reason I hadn't been expecting that question, "I'm.. not exactly from around here."
"From Guadosalam?"
"Not exactly... I mean, I'm not from Guadosalam, no, or anywhere in Spira actually."
"Then... Where are you from?"
Luckliy I didn't have to answer him because of a distressed yell from inside the manor. Seymour took one last glance at me and then spun around and sped towards the large doors from where Tromell came running.
"Lord Jyscal! He has.. he's... dead..." Tromell gasped, clinging to Seymours clothing, "What should we do?"
"My father is dead?" Seymour asked, (in the most fake worried voice imaginable mind you), grabbing at Tromell's wrists, "What is this?"
"We... we found him... in.. in the dining room..." He took a few deep breaths, "collapsed.. o-on the floor.." Seymour glared.
"Well then do something about it!"
"But sir, what should we do?" Seymour let go of the guado's wrists, allowing him to crumble to the ground. He turned away from him and walked back up to me. Standing merely inches away, he took my chin in his hand and lifted my head up so that our eyes were locked. I tried to look away but some unseen force kept my gaze where it was.
"We'll have a grand ceremony of course.. this evening," He then took me by my hand and led me straight into the manor...
(Reah)
I looked up from the ground to see a beautiful blonde haired guy looking down at me. 'Three hot guys in one day... I could get used to this!'
"Uhm.. no one," I told him as I got to my feet, unsteadily.
"You're talking to yourself?" The guy looked worried... it was kind of cute.. in some weird way. I started strapping my brand new shiny sword to my belt before I replied.
"I didn't say anything... You must be hearing things, mister."
"Mister? Uhm.." I confused him... haha! "Right, then what were you doing on the ground?"
"Inspecting the dirt for infections.." Sarcasm was flooding from my voice but pretty-boy didn't realize it, "Geez... I fell.. Is there something wrong with that?"
"No but uh... who are you anyways? I've never seen you around here..."
"I'm Reah Loriel and of course you haven't seen me... I'm not exactly from around here.."
"...Not from Zanarkand?"
"Or this.. world I guess..." I looked off at the sea again, feeling slightly homesick already.. just great. I turned back to blondie, "And you're name is...?"
"Oh right.. I'm Tidus.." He scratched his head, "If you're not from here... How did you get here?" Ah, the look of shear confusion on his face was priceless.
"That's what I want to know..."
"Um..kay.. Well, there's this big Blitzball match I hafta get to so uh... I guess I'll see ya around.." He took one last long look at me and then started to walk away. 'Dimwad!'
"You're just gonna leave me here!" Tidus stopped walking.
"Well... yeah."
"How stupid are you!" Okay, maybe that was a little rude but I was frustrated! "I don't even know where I am and you're just gonna leave me here?"
"Well...yeah."
"Stop saying that!" I.. kinda screamed louder then I meant to... but again, I was frustrated. I took a deep breath, "I'm coming with you."
"Uh... Okay.." Easily manipulated much?.. And with that we were off to the Blitzball match... whatever that is..
(Becca)
Having no choice but to allow Seymour to literally drag me into the manor, I followed him... duh. The place was beautiful, and much bigger then shown in the game. It was hard to believe that someone like Seymour lived in such gorgeous home.
Before I realized it, Seymour started to lead me up a rounded staircase, past all the pictures of past maesters.
"Where are you taking me?"
"You'll see." It was all he said and it made me just want to puke. I mean, he said it in a seductive type of tone which was just plain gross.
Once we got to the top, Seymour whispered something inaudibly to some tiny guado and then literally threw me into a room, closing (and locking) the door behind me.
"Ugh... wonder where he's going," I said aloud to myself. I turned around and to my horror saw that I was in none other but Seymour's bedroom.
(Reah)
"So what is Blitzball?" I asked after a long awkward silence.
Tidus completely stopped walking, "You don't know what Blitzball is?"
"Nope," I replied, feeling a bit stupid.
"Well... it's.. a sport.. I can't really explain it but.. you'll see once we get to the stadium," He started walking again. "You're not from Zanarkand... you don't know what Blitzball is... talking to yourself..." He stopped again and looked at me, "You're not.. some sort of demon are you?"
"What!" I was really shocked, I mean, me a demon? "Tidus, if I was a demon, I would've killed you by now... Geez you're annoying."
He started walking, yet again, apparently not understanding what I meant. But after a while, he stopped (AGAIN), scratched his head, looked at me, and then started walking once again.
"Eh, what was that about?" Seriously, I wanted to slap him... stupid blondie.
"Huh, wha'?.. Oh yeah.. Just thinking..."
We walking in silence for a loong time until we came to a large stadium with huuuuge lights lighting the entire place up.
"Woah.." I breathed, never seeing something so enormous before in my life.
"Wait 'till ya see the game," If Mr. Pretty Pants could smile ANY wider, I think he'd blind us all... okay, that doesn't make sense but whatever.. "Ok, I'll get ya a good front seat to watch the game.. okay?"
"Uh.. sure.." I still tansfixed by the stadium. When I looked back at Tidus, I was surprised to see that he wasn't there anymore! "Uh.. Tidus?" I asked the empty air.. maybe he turned invisible or something, you never know. "Tidus!... TIDUS!" I was getting worried... Come on, if he was the only person you knew in that huge mob, you'd get worried too.
"Over here!" I heard his muffled voice yell. I breathed a sigh of relief and followed the sound of his voice, until I found... Tidus. "Okay, I got you your seat... it's easy to find, just go-yadda yadda yadda," That's not important... unless of course you want to be bored to death by Tidus' rambling... That's what I thought. "Got it?"
"uh.. sure."
"Good then... I'll see ya later then," He gave me a little wave and ran off to, I guess, get ready for the game.
"I pushed through the mob of idiots until I found my seat. Tidus was right, it was easy to find AND it was a great seat. I was able to see everything from the back of baldy's head to the popcorn vender.. Tidus will diee...
I stood up on my seat to try and get a better look and saw a bunch of people swimming in... a ball of water. "That's.. different.." I muttered, confused as to how the players were holding their breath that long and how there was a ball of water suspended in mid-air... I decided it didn't matter though 'cause the game started and this was no football game at grandma's house on Turkey Day. This was blitzball.
(Becca)
"Okay Becca... Calm down... It's only a huge-ass jerk's room.. nothing's going to happen.." I had resulted to talking to myself... Whatever was going to happen was NOT going to be good.
I paced back and forth for a while, contemplating a way to get out of this mess. The door was locked... there weren't any windows... so I wouldn't be able to escape the room... I sighed and sat on the bed. I would just have to wait until Seymour came back... if he was going to come back...
(Reah)
It wasn't too hard to figure out the rules and stuff so, once I had all that figured out, I was able to get completely absorbed into the game.
According to Baldy in front of me, Tidus was a star player... of the team, The Zanarkand Abes. So, I cheered and screamed for the Abes so loud that people around me started having to cover their ears from me.
As I was watching the players swim professionaly through the sphere pool (that's what Baldy called it), scoring points, knocking each other out of the pool... I noticed Tidus doing some spectacular move where he flipped out the top of the pool. But, just as he was about to kick the ball, I saw his eyes grow to the size of half dollars and he ended up falling through the air and missing the ball.
I groaned loudly and decided to kick Tidus' ass for that miss if I saw him later but then I saw what made his eyes get so big.
There was a GINORMOUS... thing in the sky coming straight towards us. It looked like it was covered in water or something which made me guess that it came out of the water.
Tranfixed in my shock, I didn't notice the large chunks of stadium falling down in the seats. One particularly LARGE chunk fell inches away from me, causing me to go flying into the air.
"Wha'?" I breathed, then I realized I was falling. "HOLY CRAP! I'M GONNA DIEEEEE!" I screamed, falling faster and faster towards to hard concrete ground.
But something amazing happened. When I finished falling, I didn't hit concrete and splatter into little gross pieces of human... I fell on something nice and soft.
"Hi Tidus." I said, seeing blondie all mangled underneath me. I stood up and then put out my hand to help him up.
"Nice of you to drop in..." He groaned, took my hand and let me pull him up. We looked back at the stadium which then lay in ruins. "No more blitz for a while then.."
We turned around and standing right there was the man in my kitchen!
"You!" "Auron!" Tidus and I both yelled at the same time. We looked at each other, "You know him?" Again, we said it at the same time. We shook our heads and then ran to this 'Auron' guy.
"What are you doing here?" Tidus asked.
"I was waiting for you," His gaze dropped down to me and he looked kind of shocked, "Didn't think I'd see you both together..." The way he was looking at me was kind of creepy and under normal circumstance I would've said something about but, considering the chaos around us, I figured it wasn't the time.
"What are you talking about?" Tidus asked, looking agrivated. I rolled my eyes and started to follow the now walking away, Auron.
"How do you know my name?" I asked looking up at the man.
"You'd be surprised at how much I know about you," With that, he sped up with his coat billowing behind him. I stood there for a second before running to him to catch up.
"You a Stalker?"
"No... I haven't seen you since... eh.. nevermind, I said too much." I just looked at Auron for a bit before turning around to see where Tidus was. For some reason he was standing a little ways away, shaking his head around frantically until he saw me staring at him and ran up to me.
"Did you see anything?"
"Beside the mass pandemonium?" He nodded, "Nope."
"Hm..." he started scratching his head and then we both ran to Auron.
When we, again, caught up to him, we realized his was walking straight towards the giant thing in the sky.
"Hey, not this way!" Tidus yelled.
"Look!" We both looked at the thing again, "We called it 'Sin.'"
"Sin?" "We?" We both said at the same time, again.
A giant tentacle smashed into a building near us, ejecting tiny pods from it. The bunch of pods landed in a circle around Tidus, at which he punched at aimlessly. I rolled my eyes, yet again and looked back at Auron who was handing Tidus a shiny sword.
"Take it." And take it Tidus did, before nearly dropping it... weakling, "A gift from Jecht."
"My old man?" He started swinging the blade at the creatures, hopelessly.
"I hope you know how to use it."
"For your own sake Tidus," I added, getting into a good fighting pose.. the fight was on!
We fought through dozens of creatures before coming to an even huger mass of them.
"Hm... this could be bad." I nodded. Auron turned towards a giant machine.. thing, "That, knock it down!"
"What!" Tidus and me yelled.
"Trust me, you'll see!"
And we trusted Auron by striking the crap out of the machine until it finally broke, causing a truck thing to fall and cause a BIG explosion. The explosion took out the creatures but it also started taking out the bridge with them.
"GO!" Auron yelled, running with me and Tidus at his heels. We ran until we hit a chunk of missing bridge which Auron jumped over with ease. I got over it, just barely but Tidus ended up hanging off the edge, seconds from falling.
I, being the nice person I am, helped Tidus up whereas Auron just stood there talking to the thing...
"Auron?"
"You are sure?" He looked at Tidus, "This is it," He picked Tidus up by his shirt, "This is your story, it all begins here." He threw Tidus into the thing, in which Tidus got sucked up so fast that all we could hear was his screaming.
"Tidus!" I yelled towards the hole where he got sucked up.
"Reah..." Auron said gently, taking my chin in his hand, "I will see you again," And with a kiss on my forehead, he threw me up the hole too so that everything disappeared and all I could see was a bright shining whiteness...
A/N Hmm... why is Auron all weird with Reah? hm.. will you find out?... Maybe... Review and it might happen!
