Sisterly Love Chapter 3 : Road Trip
"No" ounce more Lightning refused to answer Yaag's question.
"What is your focus?" Yaag repeated, God leave me alone how many times can you repeat the same question I just want to sleep this headache off. Lightning thought.
"You might as well give up I'm not answering your stupid question so let me sleep." was Lightning's response to the question.
"How is it stupid and if you don't start answering my questions like a good little girl I won't leave you much time to sleep my dear." Yaag responded shooting daggers at the young lady with his eyes.
"Ooh aren't you charming is that the look you give all the ladies or is it just for special occasions how lucky I feel." Lightning mocked him.
"Shut up." Yaag said pulling Lightning up by the collar of her turtleneck so their faces were practically touching each-other.
"I'm a little disappointed in your interrogation technique I thought it would be much more effective but you were always lacking in that aspect." Lightning continued to insult Yaag.
"Shut up." Yaag said placing his hand over her mouth "Or I'll make that headache of yours a lot worse. I'll ask you again what is your focus?" Yaag removed his hand from Lightning's mouth to let her speak.
"Sorry but I don't know." Lightning replied sweetly. Yaag threw her to the ground and kicked her powerfully in the side, Lightning started to cough madly as Yaag kicked her again so she was
lying on her back, he continued to assault her by stepping on her stomach causing Lightning to cry out in pain.
"Is that your final answer?" asked Yaag, Lightning shook her head up and down quickly hoping that he would stop when he See's how hurt she is.
"Please stop" Lightning begged in a hoarse voice filled with pain as it continued to increase making her consciousness waver as she felt tears begin to well up in her eyes and see spots signaling
she was about to pass out. Then Yaag remove his foot and kneeled down before the young girl placing a hand on the back of her shaking form and proceeded to rub it to comfort her and ease the
pain so she could calm down. Yaag lifted her chin up so he could look into her blue eyes,he wiped away the tears that were threatening to fall. Lightning stiffened at the contact and a few
seconds later passed out falling into Yaag's arms with a small moan. Yaag continues to stroke Lightning's long strawberry blond hair gently as she sleeps in his arms how could I do that to
someone I talked to everyday? how could I hurt my friend.
Serah awoke suddenly from a bump in the road. They had been traveling in Fang's minivan for a couple of hours when she decided to take a small nap.
"Where are we?" Serah asked groggily rubbing her eyes to get the sleep out of them. She glanced out the window to see they were on a deserted road.
"Umm about maybe an hour away." Snow replied uncertainly, he was driving with Sazh in the passenger seat in the second row was Serah on the left seat,Vanille in the middle, and Fang in the
left seat. Serah felt something wet on her shoulder and looked down to find that Vanille had fallen asleep and was resting her head on Serah's shoulder drooling Serah smiled and rested her
head on Vanille's and went back to sleep. Two hours later Serah woke up to find that the car was stopped. She looked around to see they were in the middle of the road and that she was the
only one in the van. A tapping sound on the glass brought her attention to the window to find a PSICOM officer tapping it with a nightstick.
"Out of the vehicle dear." He instructed her, Serah climbed out of the van and was led over to his car. "Hands on your head." He continued.
"Whats happening?" Serah questioned as her hands were put into handcuffs.
"Keep quiet." Was his answer. Seconds later a spear was stabed into the back of his right knee and as he fell to the ground five shots were fired into his torso and an arrow was shot into his
skull. Sazh, Fang, and Vanille stepped out of the bushes as Serah stared dumbfounded at the dead body.
"See I knew we should have just rode Bahamut instead of driving, then this never would have happened." Vanille whined while she retrieved her arrow.
"Yeah then we could have fun being shot at the whole way." Fang said shaking her head.
"Ha you sounded like Lightning there." Serah said finding her voice. They all climbed back in the van and continued on their way.
"Snow I'm a little dissapointed in you." Serah stated as the car was silent.
"What why?" Snow asked confused to Serah's sudden statement.
"Um well you didn't do anything to save me when everybody else did." Serah said pretending to be hurt.
"Well um it's not my fault! Fang wouldn't let me." Snow complained pointing a finger at Fang accusingly.
"Whatever." Fang muttered, about an hour later they appeared to the barricade out front of Eden.
"Park off to the side in the bushes." Fang instructed as Snow pulled over. The checkpoint was heavily guarded with about 10-12 PSICOM soldiers and two guard towers with big machine guns.
"Okay I'll go ahead and scout things out you four stay hear and keep out of sight, I'll be back in a few minutes." Fang said hurriedly.
"Wait where is the PSICOM base?" Snow asked. Fang sighed and turned around to face him.
"It's not any of the big buildings, it's a gigantic underground complex accessed by way of elevator in one of the smaller buildings. My guess is their holding Lightning in the deepest area in solitary
confinement. It won't be easy to get her but we have to I'll do it alone if I have to I'm not going to lose her." Fang said turning away from the others.
"Fang your not the only one who wants to save her, now hurry up she's waiting." Snow said, and for ounce Fang didn't insult him.
"Alright." Fang said as she headed in the direction of the enemy checkpoint.
Lightning woke up to find that she was no longer tied up and lying in a rather comfortable bed, she looks around the room which is a sterile white colour both walls and the tiled floor.
The bed is on the right side and on the left side is a small leather couch, then Lightning's eyes focus on the desk at the end of the room where Yaag is seated watching her take in the room.
"So how do like my office?" He asks as Lightning nervously looks him in the eye before trying to stand up.
"Whoa lay back down I gave you quite a beating I don't think you can stand." Yaag says pushing her back down onto the bed, Lightning doesn't put up a fight as she turns away from him.
"How are you feeling?" ounce again Yaag asks a question trying to get her to talk.
"Sore." Was Lightning's quiet response, it didn't take a rocket scientist to find out that Yaag had intimidated the younger girl, and she wouldn't even look him in the eye.
"Lightning." Yaag starts but as he puts his hand on her shoulder she flinches and looks away. W-whats wrong with me why am I scared of him. Lightning thinks as she tries to calm her nerves.
Yaag grabbed Lightning's chin and tilted it up and turned her head to face him "Listen I just want to say that I didn't mean to hurt you like that I was just doing my job so...I'm sorry."
Lightning who held his gaze the whole time muttered "I understand, but why am I in your office?" she questioned curiously.
"Well with you unconcious and all I didn't trust my soldiers and thought that thery would have some fun with you." Yaag said, Lightning grimaced and responded.
"Well thank you." Yaag looked at his clock behind his desk and noticed it was time for him to leave on an assignment.
"Hands behind your back Light, I can't leave you hear all alone and free." Lightning complied putting her hands behind her back, after he was done Yaag patted her head and said
"Now you be a good girl and stay put understand?"
"But to make sure you don't I have to be careful you always were crafty." Yaag said as he took out a collar and locked it around Lightning's neck and tied it to the bedpost.
"Yaag please this thing is tight." Lightning begged as she saw him take out a cloth and some tape, fuck she thought as she squirmed in her bonds.
"Stay still, now open your mouth and say ahh." Yaag said balling up the cloth before holding it in front of her face.
"I didn't know I was at the dentist's." Lightning said with a smile before opening her mouth and saying ahh.
"Mmmph!" Lightning groaned as the cloth was shoved into her mouth and the tape sealed her lips damn you Yaag she thought but all that came out was an embarrassing
"Mmmph gmff nmmph" Lightning hung her head as she ounce again realized her helplessless with a test of the collar which immobilized and caused her to choke and cough into the gag
Yaag then proceeded to tie a piece of cloth around her eyes forming a blindfold, which Lightning shook her head violently but to no avail as it held steady, and with a slump of her shoulders Lightning was defeated and she knew it.
"I'll see you soon." Yaag said with a wave as he walked out, leaving Lightning with her thoughts I gotta get out of here was all that she thought over and over as she laid her head down to get
some much needed rest.
