When Braba pulled away, he stood up and looked down at Luna.

"Those kisses keep getting better and better."

"You wish." Luna spat up at him.

"No need to get that way. You should be thanking me. I'm saving your life from something that would bever make a difference."

"It would to! Don't you ever say that again." Luna said.

"Be that way. I'll be back to check on you in a bit." Braba said, turning and leaving the room.

Great. Now what am I gonna do? Luna thought as she sat in the middle of the floor, bound and tied at the hands and feet. She looked around the room for something to cut the ropes with.

In one corner there was some machina that had something that had something that looked like a blade on it. She scoot herself as well and as fastas she could to the machina. She turned herself around and began to saw away at the ropes on her wrists.

While she cut at the ropes, she felt a sharp pain in her left palm and then felt blood trickle down her hand. I'll worry about it later, Luna thought as she contined to cut at the ropes. She cut herself three more times before she got the ropes loose enough to slide off.

She heard someone in the hall so she slid up against the the wall, pushing the rope behind her as she went. Just as she leaned up agianst the wall, Braba's friend from Besaid came in.

"We're almost there." The boy said.

"Ok." Luna said, acting defeated. As the boy left the room, Luna got her hands in front of her so she could undo her feet. When she was free, Luna got up and and went to the door.

The door opened and she crept out, looking around to make sure that no one was coming. Suddenlym her mind switched to Derick. How long had it been? Has he woken up and realized that I'm gone? If so, will he be able to find me, Luna thought as she walked.

Just as she came to a door, it opened. Both Al Bhed women on the other side of the door were turned, talking to each other, not paying attention. Luna's breath caught in her throat as she heard,

"Is there anyone there?" The woman on the right said, turning. She was looking straight at Luna, but didn't seem to see her.

She's blind, Luna thought as the woman on the left turned. This one saw her.

"Are you ok?" The woman asked, her eyes deverted to Luna's hands, which where still bleeding.

"Um, I think I'll be ok. Thank you." Luna said, turning and walking away. Luna let out a sigh of relief when she went through the door at the other end of the hall.
