Chapter 13
Chapter Thirteen
White…
Zack opened his eyes and frowned, gazing about in confusion at his surroundings. There was nothing to see. There was only a brilliant white void that stretched on forever and ever… The teen looked around and then down at his combat boots. Had it worked? Was Angeal safe? Tears fell silently as the spiky haired SOLDIER closed his glowing eyes.
Was he dead?
Why are you crying…? A feminine voice asked and the boy jumped, looking at the brunette woman with a kind smile through his tears.
“I… I had wanted to help a…friend…but I don’t know if it worked…” Zack answered carefully, watching the woman curiously. An ethereal light seemed to being coming from her and those emerald eyes were warm and kind looking into his own. Zack tilted his head.
“An angel?” He questioned and she cocked her head, an amused smile tugging at her lips.
Not quite… But close enough. She told him, clasping her hands behind her and looking up into his face. Zack cringed.
“Then I’m dead?” He asked, feeling horrible. If he wasn’t even allowed to touch himself, then killing himself would be forbidden. If he were alive, Angeal would kill him! Aerith smiled at the teen.
That was a very brave thing you did, Zack. The mako blue eyes widened when the woman said his name, but it wasn’t really too weird for an angel to just know those types of things.
“Is Angeal…?” The spiky haired SOLDIER gasped; his breath hitching. Another gentle smile graced the pretty features of the brunette Ancient.
He’s just fine, better in fact. You helped him in more ways than you realize… Zack was confused at the statement, but the fact that his master was okay and alive took his breath away. Aerith smiled.
He’s very worried. You should go back to him…
“What? But I thought…” The teen murmured, blinking when the woman turned and began to walk away from him.
You are, but Gaia smiles down on her children with pure hearts. You can go back, now. The SOLDIER smiled in gratitude.
Oh and Zack? The teen hummed in question when those green eyes met his blue hues.
I don’t think he said “release.” Aerith joked with a gentle smile that turned into a grin when Zack made a panicked noise. Would Angeal be mad at him? Was…
“…ack… Zack! Zack!!”
The white faded to darkness and many things made themselves known with brutality all at once. The pain made the teen want to retreat back into that peaceful white scenery, blue eyes snapping open to stare up at the long haired SOLDIER. Green light kissed the air between them as Cure was cast in rapid succession. The blood of beasts, their enemies and Zack’s own covered the lithe body, the copper smearing onto Angeal as his master held him close.
“That’s it, pup… Breathe! Stay with me!” Angeal ordered shakily, draining his already exhausted reserves of magic to heal the gaping wound torn clear through the narrow chest. The pale eyes closed again and Angeal shook him out of panic, whispering another spell, the Materia glowing green from the hilt of the bloody Buster Sword in his hand. As the wound closed, the boy shuddered and tried to speak but Angeal hushed him.
“It’s alright, puppy… It will be okay…” The 2nd Class SOLDIER was a frightening sight, the pure glowing skin splashed with gore and the blue eyes appeared utterly exhausted. Midnight mako eyes scanned the room keenly, narrowing at the sight of absolute slaughter but no others in sight. Had Zack…? Had his puppy taken the entire base out? How…?
“M’ster, m’sorry…” Zack muttered, fighting to keep his eyes open. Angeal looked down at the teen in confusion, watching pensively as the lithe body fell limp and the slave passed out.
“Shit…” Angeal cursed, flipping open his cell phone and dialing Rude’s number. The phone was answered on the first ring.
“This is Rude.” The Turk stated.
“Rude, I need a medic and demolition team sent to us right away. The mission was a trap and this place needs to be eradicated completely. They have something that took me down instantly. I woke up to find Zack’s soul bleeding out of his body and our attackers dead. An investigation should be launched before blowing this place…” The SOLDIER held the teen closer, eyes glowing protectively.
“Is Fair alright?” The bald headed man asked in genuine concern. Angeal’s eyes softened as he stared down at the gore-stained face.
“I’m not entirely sure. He’s stable for now and he spoke to me so he isn’t an Empty Shell. We need to get his side of the story because I was hit first and I don’t remember a thing.” Angeal scowled at his own weakness, but merely sat there with the boy in his arms.
“I see. …Are you alright…?” Rude questioned gingerly. Angeal blinked and looked down at Zack with a torn expression.
“I almost lost him…” He breathed, an ache entering his chest. He had failed to protect his slave, and the thought alone was enough to make his heart feel broken. Rude hummed softly, hearing the tone of grief in the General’s voice but not commenting.
“We’ll be there within the hour, Angeal. Just hold on.” The connection died and the long haired man closed the phone, his arms around Zack and his eyes never leaving his face.
To be continued...
