Waking upTalin P.O.V.
I'm still waiting for them to wake up. Their only signs of life are that they're breathing and they have heartbeats. It's been 2 days since I found them in the lawn. So, right now, I'm listening to "Thank You" by Dido on my Ipod.
(lyrics found at My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all / the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all / And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall / it reminds me that it's not so bad / it's not so bad / I drank too much last night, got bills to pay / my head just feels in pain / I missed the bus and there'll be hell today / I'm late for work again / and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day / and then you call me and it's not so bad / it's not so bad and / I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life / Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life / Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through / then you handed me a towel and all I see is you / and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue / because you're near me and / I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life / Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life.
I realized, I could easily relate to the song. Because right now it's raining out, and there's fog everywhere, so I can't see anything! And even if the fog was gone, everything will still be gray. Wow, I really can relate to this song. Because when I look at one of the pictures I have of all of us together, it makes me feel better. Sigh Wow, who ever knew I could find myself in a song?
I heard Kadaj's cell phone ring, and pulling the earphones out, I answered it. "Ya?" I asked. I heard a brief silence, followed by, "So, you're still alive, huh?" I scrunched up my nose, annoyed. "Reno, you idiot. You're calling the cell phone of a dead man." I growled. "And who exactly are you?" Reno replied. I sighed. "I'm their friend." I said. "Really? You sound just like them. Same tone, same malice in your voice. You know, Rude and I picked up some files of your boys. Your name isn't Talin, is it?" Reno replied. I could clearly hear Rude in the background growling, "Reno, give me my sunglasses back! … Ow, you didn't have to throw them!" I smirked. "So what if it is? Look, Reno, my brothers are dead. I'm moving away to somewhere where no one can bother me. Leave me alone." I growled, and hung up. And, too my unsurprised, the phone rang 3 seconds later.
"You know, it's rude to hang up on someone." Reno said. I sighed. "What do you want?" I asked. "Well, you're still left, so we have to destroy you." Reno replied. I hung up, just seconds away from them being able to pinpoint my location. I then took the phone to the other side of the house, into the bathroom, and wrapped it up in towels, and then shoved it in the cabinet under the sink. Then, I went back into the bedroom. I almost laughed. Loz had his arms wrapped tightly around Yazoo, both asleep, and Yazoo was trying to shove him off, like he usually did. I wondered if I could wake them up.
So, I turned the alarm clock on. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP… SMASH!!!! Instantly, Kadaj slammed his fist down onto the snooze button. The alarm clock seemed to die. I turned the alarm off, and smiling, sat next to Kadaj like I usually did every morning. I began tickling his face with my metallic silver hair, and said gently, "Hey Daj… Daj… get up." I said, using his nickname. He groaned, reaching up into the air beside him, trying to find me. When he did, he shoved me away, but gently. I sighed, and then went to Yazoo. I tickled his bare feet. He jerked awake, eyes flying open. "Cut it out, Talin! I was trying to sleep in!" He burst out. Instantly Loz woke up, and grinning, sat up too. Kadaj then knew he had no chance of going back to sleep and woke up too. But then, their memories returned.
"How are we… how am I…?" Kadaj began, looking at himself. "I don't know. I came home, and there you were in the lawn." I replied. Loz's lower lip began to tremble. "You were dead, Kadaj." He said, voice threatening to squeak. "Don't cry, Loz." Yazoo taunted. Loz shoved him into Kadaj, starting a mini fight between them. "I heard Mother… she told me it was going to be alright." Kadaj murmured, massaging his temples. The other two instantly silenced their bickering to listen. "I just remember… waking up in Brother's arms, and then being told by Mother it was time to let go. And now I'm here… what happened to you two?" He asked, looking at his older siblings. Yazoo told the story, while Loz's lip began to quiver again.
"He was so mean to us! He tried to kill us even when we were already dying!" Loz burst out whining. "Well, I don't think he was very happy about being shot in the back." Yazoo replied, grinning to himself. I sighed. Same old brothers, same routine every morning… same everything. "Well… we're alive, so that's good." Kadaj said, running a hand through his hair. Then, suddenly, his eyes met with mine. "So you took care of us until we woke up?" He asked. I nodded. A grin formed on his lips. "Well, you did a good job. We're all taken care of. Now, can we go back to sleep?" Yazoo asked, giving me a very convincing look. I blinked a few times, and then said, "Don't even try your little eye alluring tricks on me, Yazoo. You're all getting up, taking showers, eating, and changing your clothes. The ones you're in are disgusting." I said.
Loz gave in right away. "Ok." He said, somewhat sweetly, and hopping off the bed, he headed off for the bathroom. Instantly all 3 were squashed together in front of the bathroom door, fighting over who got in first. I shook my head. No, no changes in them at all. Except the fact the thing they've been after for a long time was now destroyed. And, Sephiroth… well, he didn't change either. The only thing I was surprised about was how seemingly easily he'd been defeated. Even I could've gotten out of that mess with Brother.
Well, Yazoo won, he's in the shower first. Loz is pouting, saying Yazoo kicked him in the shin, and Kadaj is trying to drown out Loz's whining. I smile, and then look at all the dirt and blood the boys left behind in the bed. I groaned, and pulling everything off, shoved it all in the washer. Then I barged into the bathroom, where Yazoo was taking a shower, and picked up his dirty stuff, leaving behind a pair of khaki pants and an A.C.D.C. T-shirt, his usual clothes to hang out in around the house. Once he came out, I got Loz's dirty clothes, and left the same things, only the shirt was a white muscle shirt. And for Kadaj, same pants, and a plain black T-shirt. Once they were done with all that, they ate a very big breakfast. Then, a faint beeping noise came from the bathroom… the cell phone. Went in and got it, and turned it off. Then I told the others what was going on, and for a while they just watched the small T.V. we had.
Then, night came, and I noticed none of them were tired. So, I went to bed, alone.
