Chapter 13
Sare and Zax walked down the street. "Where could she be?" Sare asked himself. The sun had risen, and they had been looking for Jay for hours. "I dont know." Zax said. As they rounded a corner, they spotted a collapsed building. their were people gathered around it. "What happened here?" Sare asked.
"Hell if i know." Zax said. They bypassed the destroyed structure, and resumed searching for Jay. As they walked by an alley, Zax pointed. "Look! there she is!" He rushed into the alley, Sare close at his heels. They indeed found Jay. Unconcious against the side of a building. Sare shook her shoulder slightly. "Hey. Jay!" Jay slowly opened her eyes, and looked at him. "Sare? Zax?" She sounded strained.
She shifted slightly, and it was then that she realised how much she had bled while she was unconcious. The gorund around her was stained red. "What happened?" Sare asked. Drying some of the blood off her face with his sleeve.
"Someone named Genises attacked me... Said something about "settleing the score." A Flash of recognition spread across Zax's face. He said nothing, however. Jay shifted again, and gasped. "Youve got allot of injuries here. C'mon. Lets get you to the hospital." Zax said, heping sare lift her to her feet.
"What about my mother and aunt?" Jay asked, as they helped her towards the hospital.
"they're fine. a little burnt, but fine." Sare replied. Jay sighed with relief, and rested her head on Sares shoulder.

Jay now lay in a hospital bed. Her wounds patched up. She would be resting for a few days. How did that fire start? did my aunt leave the oven on or something? Jay asked in her mind.
"No. tat fire was generated by magic. I imagine Genises did it. likely to lure you where he could get at you." Sephiroth replied. Zax and Sare were both watching the news screen in the room, When jay suddenly shouted. "NO! I can handle it if he wants something with me, but when my Family gets involved, I DRAW the line!" Sare looked at her in a confused way.
"huh? Who are you talking to?" He asked. Zax eyed her carefully. Jay shrunk back slightly.
"Sorry, just thinking out loud." She said. Zax looked a ther a moment longer, then turned back to the screen, as it detailed the damage done to the destroyed structure. Jay sighed. It was then that her mother entered the room. "MOM!" Jay tried to lean forward, but she fell back against the bed, gripping her arm. Emria came forwards and gave Jay a hug. she had a few minor burns across her body, but she was fine.
"I'm fine Jay... What about you? How did this happen?" Multiple excuses coursed through her head.
"A few monsters from inside the ruins jumped me. Nothing serious." Emria nodded. Then the doctor came in. "allrighty then... Jay, I'm afraid youve lost a rather severe ammount of blood. Im going to need to take a sample in order to get a tansfer of the propper type." Jay nodded, and held out her mostly uninjured arm. the doctor inserted a needle, drew a very small sample of blood, and ran it through a scanner.
"What the?" the doctor looked at the readings. It came out saying, 'Unknown blood type'. The doctor looked a ther for an explanation. I'm dead... She thought. sare gave the answer for her. "Her father was a SOLDIER. she has Mako in her system. it likely interferred with the scanner."
"Ah. i see." the doctor nodded. Thank you sare... Jay thought.
"I'm gonna go get something to eat." Zax said. and with that, he walked out. Jay looked to Emria. "Hows Aunt lia?" She asked.
"Fine. Now, you get some rest. were going to b estuck in midgar for awhile as it is. the buggy was destroyed in the flames." Emria replied. Jay nodded, close dher eyes, and fell asleep.
