"Talk? I have nothing to talk to you about."
"I'll cut to the chase then. Break up with Fang, or I'll make your life a living hell. Which will it be?"
"Yeah, right. I'll never break up with her, so I guess it'll be the latter." Vanille tried her best to look confident in front of her nemesis, but found it harder each growing second.
"I'd watch my back if I was you. For example, don't walk home along at night, never know what kind of creeps might come out." A devious smirk pulled at Lebreau's lips, which made Vanille shiver.
"Right, ok. I'll be sure to keep my guard up then." Vanille's lip was almost quivering at this point, Lebreau stood up, took one look at her, and shrugged.
"Just remember, I always get what I want." With that said the brunette took off in the other direction towards the entrance of the building. Vanille let out a deep sigh, and placed her hand over her heart. The beat was erratic, she let herself catch her breath before going back to the task at hand. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't scared. Her limbs were shaking with every step, she found herself taking double takes making sure nobody was following her. She shook her head, and thought about it momentarily. Nobody could be tracking her that quick, Lebreau only just left. She took a deep breath, and grabbed a cafeteria tray. Vanille was feeling a great amount of anxiety, and just grabbed a variety of foods, tossing them onto her plate. She totally forgot about the snacks for Fang, and hightailed it back to Fang's room. She was terrified of being alone now.
"Hey! You're back." Fang grinned widely at her.
"Y-Yeah..." Vanille set down the food, and plopped slowly into the seat. She stared at the dusty floor, collecting her thoughts of the previous events. Fang shot her a worried glance, noticing a small bead of sweat running down her girlfriend's forehead.
"Did something happen? I've never seen you like this before."
"That girl...she threatened me." Vanille's emerald eyes stayed fixated on the dusty, tiled, floor.
"She what!" Fang tightened her grip on the pale white sheets, feeling her blood pressure soar through the roof.
"She said, I, better watch my back..."
"Tch! She better watch hers, or I'll-"
"I'm scared.."
"Vanille...don't be. I'll never leave your side."
"Yes you will. You're stuck in the hospital. I'm going to have to leave eventually,visiting hours end soon. I don't want to be alone.."
"That's what Snow, and Serah are for silly. Give 'em a call, and tell 'em to pick you up. Ask if you can stay in their hotel room too. I'm sure if you explain they'll gladly agree."
"Guess you're right..." Vanille lifted her gaze off the tile, and into Fang's eyes. Fang felt her stomach twist in a knot when she saw the tears running down the red head's face. Despite being told to stay in bed, the senior got up, and lifted the girl into a bridal hold. Vanille looked at her shocked, maybe even a little mad, tears still streaming out of those beautiful eyes. Fang sat back down in the bed, and just cuddled with her, sometimes even rocking her.
"I'd sing a lullaby, but I'm not much of a singer." Fang managed to let out a small chuckle, Vanille smiled slightly.
"I don't care if you sounded bad, I'd still love to hear that." Vanille murmured softly, burying her face into the taller girl's chest.
"Sorry, Vanille. That's just way too embarrassing. Besides, you're the one with the musical talent." Fang looked down to see Vanille with her eyes closed, looking relaxed. She planted a kiss on her forehead, and tucked her into the bed.
"Guess you need this more than me." Fang stepped out of the bed, and made her way over to the counter top. She took Vanille's bag off of it, and began to rummage through the small bag. She took out the cell phone inside, and scrolled through the contacts finding Serah's number. Her finger clicked the call button, and waited as the number began to ring.
"Hey, Vanille. Where are you?"
"It's Fang, actually. Vanille's asleep. We're at the hospital. Before you ask why, it's cause a pot dropped on my head. Yes, I'm ok."
"I'm glad you're ok! Why is she sleeping?"
"She had a scare. Some Lebreau chick is threatening her. Can you, and Snow come pick her up? She's super scared to be alone."
"Yeah sure..we'll leave now."
"Thanks. See ya."
"Bye."
Fang shut the phone, and placed it back in it's original container. This time she took to the chair, and propped her legs up on the desk. Her eyes wandered back to the sleeping Vanille, she sighed. What if this girl did do something to her? The girl did seem a little off in the head, but what could she possibly do? She figured volleyball players were like harmless, so no use in worrying. Then again if she had the proper tools, or a weapon she could seriously do some harm to her girl. Her mind twisted into an array of thoughts, and she figured she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight, if at all. The best course of action would be to confront Lebreau, herself, and to talk her out of it. She had no way of contacting her though,and even if she did, would she even listen?
Fang felt a surge of pain rush throughout her skull again, her hands gripped tightly around her head. The pain was really intense this time, it felt, as if the pot had hit her all over again. Fang removed her hands to see them stained in red liquid, blood. She called out to Vanille hoping to wake her, but nothing. She felt herself gravitating towards the bed almost, as if she was walking towards it. She saw her arm reach for the younger girl, but things started to blur quickly. Was she losing that much blood so fast? Her grip caught the sheet instead, she called out to her girlfriend once more. Suddenly, everything faded into complete darkness, the pain subsided then.
=========================================000
Fang's eyes opened to see a completely white room, a very well lit room at that. The lights were so bright they stung, she felt herself squinting as she stood up. Taking a look around the room, she noticed it was just an empty space, a dimension of nothing. She ran in all directions, nothing but white every where she ran. She was alone, and lost in an unknown world. She felt a tug, on her wrist looking over her shoulder she saw Lebreau. The scenery changed into a rainy evening, sirens were going off, and people were gathering around a body. Before she could say anything, Lebreau pulled her over to the corpse, it was Vanille.
"I warned her. She should of just broke up with you, Fang. I know you're sad, so just join her.."
Before she could respond, the brunette pushed her roughly. Fang felt like she had gotten the wind knocked out of her, it stung. She was now falling off a cliff, through the sky into her doom.
-==============================0000000000000000000000000000====9
The raven head's eyes shot open, and she sat up in her hospital bed, looking around at her surroundings. The room was pitch black now, and she was all alone. Night had fallen, not an ounce of light dared to enter the room, except for a sliver from under the door. Her hand touched the back of her head, it was wrapped with new bandages. She was worried, what had happened to Vanille? She must of made it back safely with Serah, and Snow. She let out a loud sigh, and reverted back to a laying position. She slipped back underneath the covers, and tried not to think about it too much. Fang didn't want to experience what had happened earlier over again.
The door flung open, and Fang shielded her eyes from the barrage of light. She covered her eyes even more when the light switch was flipped on, squinting she managed to make out her visitor was a nurse.
"You're finally awake. We were worried." The nurse made her way over to Fang's bed, and sat her up, observing her.
"Finally? Hasn't it only been an hour, or something?"
"You've been asleep for about three days actually."
"Three days? How's Vanille?"
"The girl with the pig tails?" She's been visiting everyday. She seems fine to me."
"Thank god. I was worried.."
"Well, you look good. Ready for your medicine?"
"A s-shot?"
"I got pills for you this time."
The nurse set a tray next to Fang's bed, it contained two pills, and a small glass of water. Fang let out a loud sigh of relief, quickly popping the pills. The nurse looked at her watch, and shut off the light.
"It's 2:30 AM. Get some rest." The door shut, and Fang was back in the dark again. She was still a bit worried about her girlfriend's safety, but tried not to think about it too much. It wasn't long before she had drifted off again.

Vanille's legs sprinted, as far as they could carry her, as she tried to escape the one's tailing her. It seemed like just minutes ago she was with Serah, but she had gone into the continence story alone. There she had run into Lebreau, and a few of her guy friends. She shrieked in horror, and ran out of the store, it didn't take long for her to notice they had followed her. At that moment, she tripped, and they grabbed her.
Three large guys each had a hold on her. One guy was twisting her arm rather painfully, the second had her other arm, the third barred her path while giving her neck a squeeze. She gasped for air, as her tears hit the ground, was she really gonna die this way? Lebreau walked up with a large smirk, admiring Vanille's obvious pain.
"Going to give up now, or do I have to make this worse?"
The one squeezing her neck let go, so she could speak. Vanille let out a series of coughs, and managed to catch her breath.
"W-What could be worse?"
"Do you really want to find out, Vanille?" Lebreau almost looked sadistic, and Vanille shook her head immediately.
"I don't..."
"So, then end it. Call her now, and tell her. Don't forget to sound convincing."
"She's in the hospital still...I don't know the number."
"You better get it quick, or else." Lebreau gave the guy who was once squeezing Vanille's neck a nod. He ran his hand underneath her skirt, and she let out a cry. She began to squirm violently, and kick but, she couldn't escape for the others had her held down. The guy moved his hand away, smirking at the girl's behavior.
"Stop! Please! I'll do it..." Her tears were coming out in large streams now, and Lebreau took out her phone.
"Good. I knew you would listen with a little motivation."
The two guys released Vanille from their grip, and pushed her towards Lebreau. She took the phone, shaking , she scrolled through her contacts to find the number of Fang's hospital room. The number rang once, and soon a familiar voice filled her ear.
"Hello?"
"Fang...it's me."
"Vanille! You ok?"
"I'm..." She wanted to tell Fang everything, but one of the guys twisted her arm. She bit her lip to keep from crying out and swallowed hard.
"You're?"
"I don't want to be with you anymore."
"W-What? Is it cause of that girl? What did she do to you!"
"No...you're just a sister to me. You'll never be anything more than that. You were...stupid to think I ever had feelings for you."
"...Vanille." Fang felt her chest tighten in pain, this couldn't be real. The Vanille she had always known would never say anything like this, never. Someone must of brain washed her, or something because it couldn't be true.
"Bye..."
Lebreau snatched the phone up, and closed it. She tossed it on the ground,and smashed it with her foot, Vanille witnessed it break.
"I told you I get what I want. Now, I'm going to go see her now, but before I leave." Lebreau walked up to her captive,and slapped her across the face. This action was then joined by a blow her stomach, Vanille cried out in pain. The pain was enough to knock her out, and Lebreau ordered her friends to get rid of her. The three guys dumped her body in a near by alley way, leaving her defenseless. Sprinkles of rain hit the ground, and soon a waterfall flourished from the sky. It was like Fang's dream beforehand, a rainy evening with a horrible ending.
