*****Hope's P.O.V.*****
It took a few days but we finally got our weapons. We had been searching high and low for Alex but everywhere we looked she wasn't there. We finally went to the forest an found a huge house. They had a huge backyard and we saw Alex in a giant... cage? She was being whipped by Kadaj and his brothers.
"We need to get her out of there fast!" I panicked.
"Im already on it." Riku said as he aimed his gun at Kadaj and pulled the trigger but the bullet missed them all. "Oh shit." They silver haired gang got all the guys and walked them up by the cage.
"Alex?" I panicked as I looked at the beat up girl in the cage lying on the floor.
"Shut up!" Loz yelled. We all got free from them the second we were forced to sit down and we started fighting. We had manage to kill Kadaj, and Loz but Sephiroth and Yazoo were a pain in the ass. Because of how hey would fight we split up to see who would be killed first. Sephiroth had collapsed and muttered "I will never be a memory" and then disintegrated. Yazoo finally died after Sephiroth and dropped the keys as he fell onto the ground. Riku grabbed the keys and opened the stupid cage and I grabbed Alex out of it.
"Alex! oh god please dont die." I said as I held her in my arms. She was laying there with all of her cuts a bruises.
"H-hope..." Alex muttered. "Help...me."
"Alex we are right her your fine dont worry alright. Your fine, you just have bad cuts and bruises." Riku said as he placed his hand on hers.
"I think we should take her home guys. She looks pretty bad and those cuts look infected. Plus I think she will want to get out of that outfit." Zexion said as he held Alex in his arms until I got up and was ready to carry her. The carried Alex all the way home where she took a shower and had Zexion and I bandage her cuts. She was so sore from all the stuff that had happened to her from today that I had to help her into bed.
"Goodnight Alex." I said as I gave her a kiss on the forehead and started to walk out of her room.
"Hope. Can you stay with me tonight, please." Her angelic voice hit my ears and there was no way I could say no to her.
"Of course Alex. Let me go change." I said as I walked into my room and changed then walked back into her room. She had her moogle pushed to her chest and she was whispering something into it.
"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, angels guide me through the night and keep me safe till morning light, thank you God for this day and Jesus name I shall pray." Alex said to the moogle then raised her head ad looked at me.
"You pray?" I asked as I walked over to her bed and climbed in.
"I used to and since I was kidnapped, I thought I should start praying again." She said. "Thanks for saying the night Hope, it means alot to me."
"Alex. I have to tell you something." I said finally feeling confident enough to tell her that I have feelings for her.
"Yeah Hope?" She asked looking straight into my eyes with her crystal greenish blue eyes.
"Ever since I let you stay in my house. I got to know you more and I think, I think im in love with you." I said while looking straight into her eyes. "When I saw you laying on the ground all beaten up today, I felt horrible for not protecting you from it. You were being tortured by Kadaj and his gang, probably sexual because of the french maid outfit. I feel terrible for not saving you sooner but our weapons were hard to find since we lost them." I said.
"Hope..." Alex said as she placed her hand on mine. I wanted to kiss her but I just didnt know if it would be too soon. Riku appeared in front of Alex's giant mirror in her room and started singing.
Riku:
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Axel, Demyx, Zexion, and Riku:
Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame?
Too bad, he gonna miss the girl
Riku:
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
Axel, Demyx, Zexion, and Riku:
Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You want to kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
The music play
Do what the music say
You got to kiss the girl
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
"Kiss the girl..." Riku whispered as the guys left Alex's room. I stared at Alex for the longest time not being able to say anything until she leaned forward and the next thing I knew... I was kissing her. Me, Hope Esthiem was kissing Alex. I melted into her kiss but before we knew it we had to pull away for a breathe.
"Hope. I have been feeling the exact same way you have been feeling about me. You and the guys had stopped what you were doing to rescue me. You are the best person I know. I mean you brought me into your house and let me stay here under your care. You saved my life from those sex addicts and I am grateful to have you in my life." Alex said as we kissed one more time and then went to bed with her in my arms.
