Location: Basement Level, Shinra Manor, Nibelheim
Rating: PG-13
Summary: After way too much time in Sephiroth's company, Elena is finally rescued by Tseng while Cloud and Sephiroth do battle....again.
Sleep was thick and heavy for Elena. Granted, it was a sleep that was half-caused by being forced unconscious by an overwhelming level of pain. It was the first time since being captured discovered by Sephiroth and Yazoo that she slept with little trouble. In fact, she could have passed for comatose, if not dead, if it weren't for the rising and falling of her chest. Normally, Elena was a tosser. She's roll around in bed, punching and kicking covers, beating up her pillow with her head as she shifted constantly. But, thanks to Yazoo, any movement of her leg brought a sharp pain up her thigh to her stomach and her body, even unconcious, was aware of it. So, instead, she remained prone on her back, her right wrist resting atop the bridge of her nose with palm skyward, the other dangling off the side of the bed. Really, with all the blood and grime on her white - could it be called white now? - only helped with that dead, could turn into a zombie, look she seemed to be going for.
A little groan bubbled up her throat, her shoulders stretching against the mattress as she shifted. The bed Sephiroth had left her on was far from comfortable, but it was better than the floor. And she wouldn't complain. Her head turned into the crook of her arm, causing the wrist that had been using her face as a resting place to fall and her arm to lay across her chest. The shift and impact brought Elena out of the sleep for a moment, hazel eyes opening just slightly. Outside the door she could see Sephiroth, standing with Masamune and staring in her direction. Too exhausted to bother to look away, she returned his gaze through half-lidded eyes. Another blink later and he was gone, leaving her doorway empty. Elena tried to blink herself awake, but the weight on her eyes was too heavy and she found herself unable to stay conscious for much longer. Besides, if he was going to come back and kill her, he would hopefully have the courtesy to do it while she was asleep.
