CHAPTER 11
The next day the storm had died down but not enough to be able to travel. Seymour had his nice warm robes to keep him warm, but Marlene only had a light nightdress on leaving her frozen and cold.
Seymour tried his best to keep her warm. She thought it was because he loved her but it would only ruin Seymour's plans if she died. He had his arm wrapped around her shoulder drawing her close to him, his other hand on the back of her neck so that her face was in him.
Marlene was shivering uncontrollably; it almost looked like she was having a fit. Her lips were bluish and her face was whiter than snow. She was so cold that it almost hurt. "Mommy…" Seymour heard her sob. He knew that she missed her, but there was nothing that he could do about that, and bringing people back from the Farplane was not part of his plan. Marlene was simply the bait.
In Djose everyone was getting more and more worried by the minute. Everyone had joined the search except for Yuna, Rikku, and a few other Al bhed. Rikku ran over to the comsphere when it went off. "Paine! Did you find anything?"
Paine shook her head. "I just wanted to say that… we don't think that Marlene might be alive. Either that or she's injured. But if she is alright… then we have no idea of where she is." Rikku's eyes filled with tears. Paine looked like she was crying too.
The comsphere turned off and Rikku was over come with anger. Yuna had heard it all and was crying herself. "It's all you're fault." She whispered causing Yuna to look at her. "If you hadn't been so selfish then Marlene would be safe in Besaid." Rikku looked up angrily. "It's all… because… of you!" Rikku lunged hers fists at Yuna managing to hit her. "If you hadn't just dumped her off here then she'd be okay!" She punched Yuna in the jaw. "You're the reason she ran away! Before you found Tidus and had Jecht you guys were as thick as glue!" She screamed swinging her fist and hitting Yuna in her nose. "She saw you as her mother! She's already lost one parent and now you make her feel like she lost another one!" Rikku stopped beating her cousin. "All she ever wanted was to feel… loved." Rikku ran out the temple crying. She ran out leaving Yuna to weep on her own.
Everyone wondered what was wrong with Rikku as she ran past them. "Rikku!" Gippal shouted running after her.
Tidus ran inside and saw Yuna lying on the floor bleeding and crying as well. "Yuna! What happened?"
"Rikku…" Tidus frowned. Why would Rikku do this? Why would she want too? He'd get his answers soon enough.
