Chapter Thirteen: Deadly
Confession
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
“I’m
sorry sir, but President Ackmard is busy at the mome…”
“I
don’t give a shit what Reiber is doing.” Shuyin hissed at the middle aged secretary that barred his
entrance to Reiber Ackmard’s
office, “Tell him that Shuyin Bacohl
demands to see him.”
The
woman raised her nose at him and replied, “I’m sorry sir, but President Ackmard is busy at the moment. You’ll have to wait
your turn…”
Shuyin glared at the woman and then proceeded to storm around her and
kick the door to Reiber’s office open. The
president was sitting at his desk staring blankly at a cup of coffee when the
sudden visitor shook him from his thoughts. Reiber’s
eyes widened in surprise and then his mouth formed a smile, “Shuyin! What a pleasant surprise.”
“Save
it, Reiber. I’m not here for
pleasantries.”
Reiber stiffened a little and motioned for his secretary – who had
followed Shuyin – to leave the two alone. The
woman nodded and pulled the door shut as she left. Reiber
rose from his chair and walked to the other side of his desk where he leaned,
“What’s going on, Shuyin?”
“Two
days ago Allyn was spying on me as I made love to my
girlfriend. I caught Allyn who proceeded to
threaten my girlfriend,” Shuyin’s face took on a
pained look, “Yesterday my girlfriend was brutally attacked and almost stabbed
to death by someone. The police think it was a robbery although all the
person took were cheap vases and some pictures.”
Reiber stood and put his hands on his hips, “Am I to assume that you
think my daughter had something to do with it?”
“Yes,”
Shuyin replied, his eyes fixing coldly on the man in
front of him, “That’s exactly what you’re supposed to think.”
The
silence between them seemed almost threatening in itself. Shuyin knew that Reiber thought Allyn could do no wrong. Shuyin
had thought that too…a long time ago. Coming here and telling the
president of the country that wanted to destroy his hometown that he thought
his daughter was capable of committing some sort of atrocity was a huge risk,
but it was one that Shuyin was willing to take.
Reiber Ackmard’s entire body tensed as he
hissed, “First of all, Shuyin, I didn’t even realize
you had a girlfriend. Allyn told me that there
was some girl you liked. I didn’t realize it was serious.”
Shuyin scoffed, “Of course Allyn spins the
truth her way. Typical…”
Reiber scowled, “Secondly,” he continued with a stern tone, “Allyn came here two nights ago and has been here
since.”
“She
must have gotten one of your soldiers to do it.” Shuyin
declared, “That is the only reasonable explanation.”
Reiber let out a laugh, “There are plenty of other explanations, Shuyin.” The president shrugged, “I’m sorry about your
girlfriend. I certainly hope she’ll be okay, but Allyn
didn’t have anything to do with it. She has no control over this
army. Most of my men don’t even know who she is since she’s been living
in Zanarkand.” Reiber
leaned forward and put his hands on his knees, “Allyn
didn’t have your girlfriend stabbed.”
A
crash came from behind Shuyin and the blitzer spun to find Allyn
standing there, shaking with broken cups, plates, and food on the floor at her
feet – the remnants of tea and cookies for her father. Allyn’s green eyes seemed shocked and horrified as she
asked, “Lenne was stabbed?” Allyn
stepped over the mess at her feet as if she didn’t care and rushed over to Shuyin, “Is she okay?”
Shuyin scoffed, “Like you care.”
A
flash of hurt appeared in Allyn’s eyes and Shuyin felt guilt at dismissing her so coldly, “I may hate
her, Shuyin, but I’d never want her hurt.”
“Well
she is hurt. She’s laying in ICU with tubes and IV’s and…” Shuyin turned away as the tears came to form behind his
eyes. He wiped them away with the back of his hand before turning back to
her, “You threaten her and she’s attacked. Explain that!”
“I
didn’t do it, if that’s what you’re suggesting.”
Shuyin sneered at her, “I know that you
wouldn’t do it. What I want to know is who did you pay to do it?”
“Do
you really think that little of me?” Allyn asked, “Do
you really think that I’d pay to have Lenne
murdered?”
The
look in her eyes caused Shuyin to collapse in the
chair behind him. Allyn seemed genuinely
concerned about Lenne. Allyn
wasn’t a good actress and couldn’t fake being upset if she really wasn’t.
Besides, Allyn would have wanted Lenne
to leave of her own accord instead of dying. Shuyin
sighed, “No.” he replied, “I’m sorry. I’m just…”
Allyn put a comforting hand on his knee, “I know you’re upset.” Shuyin looked up at her and she gave him a smile, “I’ll
give you a tour of the compound. It’ll help you get your mind off of
things for a while. What do you say?”
“If
it’s okay with Reiber…”
Allyn grinned, “It’s fine. Come on.”
Shuyin followed Allyn out of the side door to
the office that she used to bring the tea. The secretary was now cleaning
up the mess as Allyn motioned for him to follow her
to the right in a small hallway just outside of the door. Another left
took them out to the temple where Allyn and he got on
an elevator and went down the bowels of the castle. She looked at him, “I
want to take you to see the secret weapon that nobody wants to use.”
“Secret weapon?”
Her
voice echoed off of the walls as Allyn said, “It was
built to use in the war that Daddy keeps saying is inevitable. It’s too
powerful though. Nobody wants to use it.”
Allyn pulled open the door and motioned toward the gigantic machina that stood before them. Shuyin
let out a gasp as his eyes caressed the colossus. It was almost as big as
the room they were in and it appeared to almost have a face. A deep
copper color, this machina was the most beautiful
thing Shuyin had seen – with the exception of Lenne. His mouth opened and closed for a moment before
he said, “What is this thing?”
“Vegnagun.” Allyn replied, “It’s has enough firepower to wipe Zanarkand off of the planet. I think that’s the
reason nobody wants to use it. Vegnagun is
infinitely hard to control. Daddy acts like it has a mind of its own.”
Shuyin took a step closer to it and said, “Is that why there are so many
security spheres and guards around?”
“Yeah,”
Allyn said, nodding, “I’m allowed down here since I’m
Reiber’s daughter but nobody is allowed to
touch it.”
“How
would you even use something like that?”
Allyn pointed to a piano like object on top of what appeared to be Vegnagun’s head, “See that
keyboard? You play the notes listed in the correct order and Vegnagun springs to life. They made it so that only
people with piano skills could use it.” She smiled at him, “I probably
shouldn’t have told you that, though. You are the enemy and your
mother did make you take those piano lessons when you were a kid.”
Shuyin laughed, “I doubt I’d remember much anyway. I haven’t played
in years.”
“I
heard it’s like riding a bike.” She replied, “You never forget.”
She
caught Shuyin’s eye and the two stared at each other
for a few minutes before Shuyin broke contact, “I
should get back to the hospital.”
Allyn nodded, “I suppose you should.” She smiled at him and touched his
shoulder gently, “I’m going to stay here for a bit, but I’ll be thinking about
you. I’m sure she’s going to be fine.”
“Thanks
Allyn.”
“Can
I ask you something before you leave?” Allyn
questioned, grabbing Shuyin’s arm to keep him from
leaving.
Shuyin cocked an eyebrow, “What is it?”
“This
may not be the most appropriate time to ask this,” Allyn
admitted with a shrug, “but I’m curious anyway.” She smiled at him and asked,
“If Lenne wasn’t in the picture, would you come back
to me eventually?” she placed a firm hand on his chest, “I’m not hoping she’ll
die, mind you. This is strictly hypothetical. Like, if she left
tomorrow and I was still around…”
Shuyin’s blue eyes scanned the room for a moment
and then locked with Allyn’s green orbs before
whispering, “Probably.”
------------
After Shuyin was safely on the hover
back to Zanarkand, Allyn
focused on her next mission. Stalking angrily down
the hallway to the military compound, she shoved the door open and glared at
the two soldiers talking with Benedict Cyton, “Get
the hell out! I have business with the commander.”
Benedict
motioned with his hand and dismissed his troops. Once the two men had
scurried out and shut the door, he turned his deadly black eyes on Allyn and gave her a smirk, “What can I do for you, Miss. Ackmard?”
“Don’t
‘Miss. Ackmard’ me you fiend!” Allyn
shrieked as she approached Benedict, “I told you to scare Lenne. I told you to bust into her house, smack her
around a little, act like it was because Shuyin was
involved in some organized crime thing so she’d leave Zanarkand.”
Allyn’s frame shook and she pounded her fists on the
desk in front of Benedict as she screamed, “I didn’t tell you to practically DECAPITATE
her!!!”
Benedict
smiled slightly and stood to walk around his desk and closer to Allyn, “I didn’t decapitate her, Allyn.
I simply took your orders and expanded upon them so that it would help you
more.”
“How
is having that little bitch in the hospital with Shuyin
here to accuse me of trying to kill her helping me?!”
Benedict
patted Allyn on the head condescendingly, “If I just
smacked her around a little, she wouldn’t leave. She’d talk to Shuyin and then they’d just have sex again to make
up.” Benedict’s black hair seemed almost blue in the light as he turned
his back on Allyn and said, “Even if she did leave,
he’d just run after her.”
“He
didn’t run after me! Why would he run after her?”
Benedict
laughed, “First of all, Allyn, Lenne
wouldn’t be leaving for another man which is the precise reason Shuyin didn’t come after you. Secondly, he loves Lenne.
I’m betting what he felt for you was below the belt.”
The
sting of her hand connecting with his cheek sent chills down Allyn spine and her blood almost stopped cold when he
looked at her. Her green eyes spat fire as she hissed, “Shuyin loved me. Shuyin
loves me. We’re going to be together forever and that’s the way
it’s going to be.”
Benedict
cackled, “Whatever. Live in fantasy land if you want.” He turned his back
to her and walked around his desk again, “I helped you in the long run anyway,
so when do I get my reward?”
Allyn scoffed, “How did you help me?”
“You
can show concern for the pretty little songstress.” Benedict replied, “If she
lives, Shuyin will be grateful for the concern you
showed her. If she dies, Shuyin will want
someone’s shoulder to cry on. Either way, you’ve got an in.”
“But
I am concerned about her.” Said Allyn,
“The girl is probably going to die because of you.”
Benedict
shook his pointer finger, “Uh, uh, uh…” he said, “Not because of me,
dear. Because of you. You’re the one that
got me involved.”
“But
I didn’t want you to…”
Benedict
was in front of her in a flash and he placed a finger under her chin to tilt
her eyes to meet his, “We can’t change the past, Allyn.
Just make the most of a bad situation and turn it to your advantage.
You’re a smart girl and I’ll help you again if you want me to.”
“And
the next time you help me, you will
follow my instructions exactly.”
Benedict
nodded, “Absolutely, my dear.” He said soothingly, “Now, I’d like my reward
now.”
“You
really don’t deserve it.” Replied Allyn.
Benedict’s
eyes flashed and he placed both of his hands on her shoulders and pushed her
roughly to her knees, “I said I want my reward,” he hissed as he lowered his
zipper, “Either you give me what you promised me, or I tell Shuyin
the truth.”
Allyn growled, “Fine, but if you do something stupid again then next
time, I use my teeth. Are we clear?”
“Crystal…” Benedict
replied, “Crystal clear.”

Author’s Note: I’m
currently toying with the idea of having a “Silver Wings 2”. It would
take place after FFX-2 (since we all
know what happened during that time) and therefore be a FFX-3 story. It
would focus on Tidus, Yuna,
and the others from FFX and FFX-2 and how Tidus
suddenly starts remembering Shuyin’s past (and
possibly becoming Shuyin for certain time
frames). It’s still in the thinking stages since I need to finish “Silver
Wings” before I start a sequel, but if anyone is interested in a possible
sequel to this story let me know in a review and I’ll definitely start to plan
it out and begin it right after I’m done with “Silver Wings”.
Author’s Notes: For those of you worrying about
Lenne, worry no more. I promise you that she
will be just fine (at least for a while) and this chapter is the beginning of
that. I don’t have anymore notes about this
chapter. It’s pretty straightforward. Enjoy!
