Breathe,
Just B r e a t h e ;
✖→ Alissa was still wandering the house, somehow having missed Skitch as she examined the walls, the floors, the furniture, everything, really. She took another drink of her soda as she walked out onto the porch, breathing in the night air. She set her Soda on the railing and stretched, tensing up mid way when a voice broke her thoughts.
'X018'
Her body tensed up, pulled taught like an arrow in a bow. It was the same thing that happened when she saw the future.
Her eyes wide, panicky, as they swept the area relentlessly. Her ear felt hot, she realized, as she reached a hand up to touch it. She was hit by a hazy memory of Ghestal raging at her for escaping, being unable to move, pain, and then she wasn't sure what happened next. She knew from the small bar like thing that went through the cartlidge of her ear. She felt her hands shaking as she realized what it was. It was an earring. Just a different version then the ones the others at Vector had recieved. They could take theirs off. Alissa hadn't even known about hers, and she could feel that there was no getting rid of it unless she wanted to destroy her ear.
Alissa was practically shaking, her body rigid. You're the second one to tell me I supposedly have a brother. The first was Kefka. Why should I trust you? She hissed, willing her voice not to crack. No reason to fear Vector yet, they didn't know where they were. Ghestal was probably using all the brain power they had to pinpoint her location now, along with X001 since she bet that if she, a mere failure, were wanted.... There greatest achievement would be an ever bigger prize.
She was feeling that familiar fear that shook her to the core when Vector seemed so close, the hatred bubbling just beneath it. She steeled herself, pushing back her emotions as best she could for now. Besides, she couldn't say that she remembered this woman. She rememebred numbers and faces from those days, but even those were blurry. She shook her head slowly, her fingers creeping to her sword for comfort. Kami, could today GET any worse? ←✖
