Distress Cell

A dull thud sounded from the dense old wood, Rikku gave a tug on the wooden board to check it was firmly in place. The boys were blocking the cellar stairs, true a fridge would stop any attacker getting in that way…but better safe than sorry. Lulu and Paine came down the stairs.

"That's upstairs boarded up…nothings getting through there without us knowing" Lulu placed her hammer on a nearby table and sat down on the couch. Thank Yevon there was still something to sit on, a lot of it was broken up to use as extra boarding wood.

"So what now?" Yuna came back from the kitchen sitting down on the floor on her knees.

"Well" Rikku hopped over. "We could all try getting some shut eye!" Everyone looked at her, even the boys who were still pushing something stopped to look at her. Tidus fell over having placed to much of his weight forward. "What? People would stay up while the others slept. Like guards you know? And they could be all like 'There's nothing on the western front' then 'Contact!! One coming in from the southeast' And…" Rikku broke from her little imaginary gunfight/brawl/military/survival theme noticing the looks she was getting. Rikku rubbed the back of her neck "I over did it again…didn't I?" She asked nervously.

"Well…" Paine was going to kick herself for this one. "Sounds like a plan…we won't be able to do much good if we're stumbling around tired"

"We should all stay in on spot and figure out who sleeps and who guards" Baralai had sweat running down his brow from all the heavy lifting he'd been doing.

"We should all sleep down here, its one big room so we can keep tabs on one another. And four people guarding sounds about right…" Paine had measured everything up.

"Two sounds about enough. We can just make it that downstairs gets more people than upstairs" Paine didn't have any trouble with Lulu's revised guarding schedule.

"Okey dokey! Since we got that all figured out I have one little thing to sort out…Gippal guards upstairs!" Rikku pointed a finger at Gippal.

"Agreed!" The others charmed in unison none of them missing a beat.

"Oh man…" Gippal sighed.

The mist set firmly in…small wisps of blue fog were sliding down the other side of the windows. The floorboards cracked as Tidus moved from window to window downstairs, Wakka had the top floor. Yuna tossed in her sleeping bag, her right side had become sore from the hard floor. She didn't sleep easily though…the stillness outside was all to unnerving. Yuna's determination to sleep vanished, her eyes opened lazily.

Something in Yuna was feeding her, telling her not to fall asleep. Her mind would start to wander into sleep but suddenly she'd be pulled back into this nightmare. Oh if only...if only she could dream...Yuna pulled the edges of her sleeping bag up then lay with her eyes closed. Her ears tightened…straining…was that a? Yuna calmed herself…of course there was a noise from upstairs Wakka wasn't the most light-footed person. But strangely…Yuna found her heart beat starting to fasten. Slowly she opened her eyes thinking of going to check on Wakka to calm her fears…but. A dark shadow pasted the window directly in front of her…right under Tidus's nose. Yuna's view froze on the window, Tidus was leant beside it. He yawned deeply using the baseball bat as a post to support himself. Tidus caught Yuna looking at him, he waved baring a goofy smile. Yuna felt her fears relax, everything would be fine. The wood splintered following a clawed black hand that grabbed Tidus over the mouth. Terror filled his ocean blue eyes, Yuna screwed her eyes shut.

The image burned itself into Yuna's mind like a brand, the fear in his eyes each single hair on the hand…the splintering wood…all were as clear as day. Very slowly…Yuna peeked one eye open. The blue orb saw the now shattered window stand in silence…slowly it scanned the room. Finally the green one followed, Yuna slowly looked round at the others…that were still sleeping soundly. There came a fump from upstairs followed by some muffled staggered breaths. A red line trickled down the stairs, Yuna slowly traced it up her terror growing with each passing second…a hand at the top of the stair twitched. Yuna pulled her sleeping bag hood over her forming a little cocoon, she closed her eyes tight trying to blank her mind. A crash came from behind her…she heard something climb through…something pant.

Yuna wanted to run…no…she wanted to scream, to warn her friends of the danger that stood so close to them. But her body was frozen in fear…the only thing that would move were her eyelids and they were squeezed shut. A gurgle came from somewhere in the room, Yuna felt herself flinch at the foul noise her fear growing. Her breathing became deeper and more rapid, tears started to form in her eyes which she started to choke on. Something filled her system causing her to turn round making her lift a part of her hood. Yuna watched Paine turn onto her back, her soft voice was about to sound as the warrior opened her eyes. The crimson orbs came to shock, Paine's body flinched back her feet readying…and strong arm slammed onto her mouth pinning her to the floor. Yuna covered her mouth as she heard the werewolf growl as Paine struggled in vain to free herself. The twos eyes meet…a claw gashed the pail flesh of Paine's throat. Pain came across Paine's face her arms grew tense, nails biting into the werewolf's strong arm. Her arms then started to relax, face growing calm…calmer…her eyes glazed over as her arms fell limp to her sides. Yuna turned over tears falling from her eyes as she shook in terror, a dull thump sounded from behind her.

"Yuna…" Something growled, Yuna flinched in fear and curled up into a ball. "…Yuna" The top of her sleeping bag was gripped and slowly pulled back, Yuna cried softly as she turned her head to look up.

"Yuna!" Lulu shook her harder.

Yuna shot up in a panic, tears were streaming from her eyes and a cold sweet shone on her skin. She felt a gentle hand rest on her shoulder as her breathing settled. Lulu checked that her candle was going to stay on the ashtray she was using to catch the hot wax. Two small sparkles fell from Yuna's cheeks plopping onto the material below.

"Yuna…" Lulu came round into her vision. "You were having a nightmare, it's alright everything's fine" Yuna gripped her sleeping bag as her tears started to flow more freely, Yuna started to cry softly…very softly. "…Oh Yuna…" Lulu put down her candle and put her arms around Yuna. "Come on now…hush…You're okay, everything's fine. Shhhhh"

"But…I…they got in…I…I couldn't" Yuna's voice was barely a whisper.

"It's was a dream Yuna…a nightmare. Everything's fine" Lulu stroked Yuna's hair holding her tight trying to calm her. Yuna finally wiped her eyes clean and no more tears came out.

"I don't think I can sleep…" Yuna was sitting as straight as a pole.

Lulu gave a small chuckle "You can sleep if you put your mind to it Yuna. Just think of something happy and the dream will come" Slowly Lulu got Yuna to lay down and tuck herself up.

"But what if…" Yuna trailed off her eyes still glittering from the tears early on. "But what will happen if I have another bad dream?" Yuna's voice shook a little.

Lulu smiled softly, the last thing she wanted was for Yuna to fall into that nightmare again…it had sounded awful. Reaching over she dug through her bag, her hand fell on the soft touch of what she was looking for. Yuna watched as Lulu took a small purple flower and held it high above the flame of the candle. She twisted it three times and then put it in the hood of Yuna's sleeping bag.

"This will help you sleep Yuna" Lulu smiled, Yuna was already feeling the comforting effects of the lavender…she was asleep in a few seconds.

"KUPO!! KUPO!!!"

Something sliced through the peace of the cabin, Yuna groaned hand reaching for her mobile. Baralai came quickly down the stairs hammer at the ready, he stopped short. Yuna sleepily sat up fingers flipping the phone open, small groans of the others waking up start to fill the background.

"Hello?" Yuna asked still half asleep as she rubbed her eyes.

"Loves!? Oh thank Yevon!" Leblanc's voice came from the other side of the line.

"Leblanc?!" Yuna wide awake now, all the others instantly looked over at her.

"Listen closely Yuna love. I got you guys some help, a bunch of soldier are on their way over to you. Keep an eye out for them…and good luck to you" There was a voice in the background. "Got to go now love…got to go get some stitches"

Yuna flipped the phone closed, she smiled softly overjoyed to know Leblanc had got away safely.

"What is it Yunie? Who was it?" Rikku rubbed her eyes coming over, Yuna turned tears running down her cheeks as she smiled. "Yunie! What's wrong?"

"It was Leblanc." Yuna wiped some of the tears away still keeping her smile, she was just so overjoyed. "She got away! And better yet…she's sent some help for us!"

"Alright Leblanc!!" Gippal flopped back down on the floor hitting the back of his head of the board in the process. He quickly got up and rushed over to Yuna holding her by the shoulders "Who's coming for us?!" Gippal was grinning from ear to ear.

"Some soldiers" Yuna was a little taken aback by Gippal's hyperness.

"We're finally going to get out of here…" Baralai gave a sigh of relief and took a seat on the stair.

A vision of light blue watched the teens, the owner ducking back around the corner of the window. It dashed with speed round to the front door, it stopped short and low growl sounding. Large glaring light was approaching the cabin, the owner fled into the misty wood.

"There something moving out there…" Paine watched as some figures move up to the cabin. "Think it's them?" Paine's question was answered by one of the soldiers flashing a torch through the window. Rikku opened the door.

"Right I want three by three partols around the area!" The leader barged in while barking commands at the others. "Alright folks! Here's the deal!" He finally turned to the group of teens. "We'll take two at a time to the vehicle parked outside! You two first!" He quickly pointed a finger to Yuna and Baralai.

The soldier headed to the door, Yuna and Baralai made their goodbyes just in case something bad happened. A distant scream came from outside, the front door was pulled open by one of the soldiers. The frightened man stood in the doorway about to say something, when he was suddenly wrenched back. A dark arm pulled the screaming soldier up and out of the door, Wakka quickly closed the door locking it again.

"Oh man! No way were getting out of this one!" Gippal had huddled together with the others, he'd just seen some poor soul being ripped to shreds.

"…We're never getting out of here…" Yuna sunk to the floor holding her knees.

"Hey! I don't want to hear that sort of talk I-" The soldier stopped short, it sounded like a creek from upstairs. "Hang on…think there might be one-" The roof busted out, a dark furred hand coming down…strong fingers breaking through the soldiers skull.

Rikku had barely had time to duck out the way, her face and clothes were covered with giant red patches. There was a clank as the rifle dropped from the dead soldiers' hands, his limp body gave a sickening splat as it hit the top of the room. Tidus had trouble holding down his lunch as the body was heaved through the small opening, Lulu started to feel light-headed. Three dark shapes past by the hole followed by the sound of a window breaking…the room sat in silence.

"…Anyone feel like they've just been violated?" Baralai was green in the face, everyone looked at him with pale faces…well Paine's was even paler.

"Bigger question is…" Tidus took a large gulp to stop his snacks from coming up. "Who want's to try and grab the ammo from outside the door?…" Everyone turned a bit paler.

Things can never be easy now can they…
