Running Away
Chapter 4. Thoughts taking over
What is she thinking?
Does she still think that I love her?
If not, then why did she ask me to stay in Alexandria
She is desperate.
What does she mean by 'having a hard time'?
What does she think will come from this?
Cos, I don't know what to think.
Well, at least I hope Dagger will let me have my girlfriend here.
I hope Cassie and Dagger don't start fighting.
I hope this all goes okay, cos, I still want Dagger as a friend.
Zidane shook his head getting out of his thoughts.
I should go ask Dagger right now. I hope she won't freak out.
Or cry.
Zidane walked slowly to Dagger's bedroom. Knocking on the door, he was let in by Dagger. He found a seat on the other end of the king sized bed where Dagger was lying.
"Hey, Dagger, um, I was wondering, since I'll be staying here for the rest of my life," Zidane started nervously.
"Just get to the point Zidane." Dagger said bluntly.
She was a little depressed at the thought of getting married if she didn't marry Zidane.
"If I could have my girlfriend here, with me." He finished, waiting for her to shout at her.
Surprisingly, Dagger didn't say anything for a few moments.
"What's her name?" she asked him emotionless.
"Um, it's Cassie." replied Zidane uneasily.
Dagger looked towards him, her face was angry, but she had kept it from boiling up.
"Fine. She can come tomorrow. Now go." Dagger replied looking back at the window.
Zidane smiled softly.
"Thanks Dagger." he praised and walked out the room, closing the doors behind him.
When he was gone………………………
GIRLFRIEND!
HE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND?
WHAT NERVE!
HOW COULD HE?
HURT ME, IS THIS A PAYBACK?
"Errrrrrr." grumbled Dagger, even more frustrated.
She got up from her bed and changed into her everyday dress.
"I hate him!" She told herself quietly.
"I hate him!"
Dagger started to sniff loudly. Her eyes started to water, but she forced the tears away. Taking a deep breath, she blinked a couple of times and went for a walk outside.
Outside………………………
It's freezing here!
Soon Cassie will be here, and everything will be fine.
Why am I worrying?
Well, Dagger did have a very angry look when she said fine.
I wonder what's wrong.
Zidane was sitting in front of the fountain at the left end of the royal gardens. Shaking his head, he looked around.
Good. Maybe I could call Cassie, see what she's doing.
Zidane took out his silver mobile phone from his right pocket. He quickly dialed in the numbers and waited for her to pick up.
"Hello?" a cute girly voice said over on the other line.
"Hi Cassie. What ya doing?" asked Zidane grinning at the thought of her.
"Hey Zidane! Where have you been! I've been looking everywhere for you!" She said cheerfully.
Zidane laughed a little before talking again.
"Dagger called me here to Alexandria to live." he answered her.
"YOU MEAN QUEEN GARNET OF ALEXANDRIA!" She shouted into Zidane's ear on the other side.
"Yup." Zidane answered her, grinning.
"Why?" She asked him curiously.
"Donno." he answered her plainly.
"Oh yeah, Dagger said that you can come to Alexandria with me, we'll fix a time later."
They was no answer for a few minutes.
"For, how long?" She asked him finally.
What do you mean?" he asked her, getting confused at her sudden change of tone.
"I don't think that's a good idea Zidane, I like Lindblum."
"But, I want company." he told her, wishing she would just accept.
"Okay, if it's for you I'll do it." She answered, sounding a little bothered.
Zidane grinned.
"Thanks Cas, see ya later!" Zidane said smiling still as he hung up.
Good. Everything is moving on.
I hope Dagger won't pick a fight with her.
I wish Dagger was my friend again.
What did I do?
Meanwhile, on the other side of the gardens………………..
What am I doing?
I have to let go!
I'll get dragged into a breakdown again!
Oh god!
Why is this happening?
Help Mother! I don't know what to do!
Why wouldn't they let me see my mother?
Is something wrong?
Dagger started sobbing; sometimes she couldn't hold it in.
How is it?
