[Night 8] Hedge Maze

Jun 17, 2009 20:10

Being dragged through the facility had only helped to completely disorient him further, and the drugs that had been injected into him effectively capped any of his other senses. However, he eventually found himself dumped on the hard packed ground, not even the sensation of rocks digging into his bare arms causing much of a reaction ( Read more... )

The centre of the hedge was silent apart from the breeze moving through the area. Sightless stone eyes were the only witness to Cloud's blinded crawl before the blonde prisoner began getting to his feet to feel the hedge.

Moonlight shone down on the area, but the illumination did nothing to help Cloud's plight. It did, however, show the fine lines appearing along the stone carved as a sleek lynx. Grey stone shifted to fine fur of light brown and spots, and with pleased purr, the feline's yellow gaze locked onto the blonde prisoner as she stepped down from her pedestal.

When it was clear that the top of whatever band of trees that he was in went beyond his reach, Cloud felt along the leaves in one direction, hoping to find a path to follow. His feet stumbled heavily as his brain couldn't quite get the messages to his muscles as quickly as usual.

He might have thought about being humiliated, but the helplessness drew more primal panic in him instead. He wanted to be somewhere familiar, to have his senses back to normal. The lack of sight was the worst feeling in the world, but he knew better than to remove the bandages around them.

His loud progress halted at the sound of a purring noise. Stopping dead, he almost fell over as he swung his head in where he thought the sound was. He wasn't certain if his ears were deceiving him or if there was something else around. "...hello?"

There was no response to Cloud's panicked call as the female lynx's large paws touched down onto the compacted ground. Her rounded tail swished back and forth, almost as if in interest, as she sighted her prey.

Circling wide around the blonde, jaws opened to reveal sharp fangs within as the large female cat let off a screeching roar Cloud's left side.

His head turned and craned from side to side in an attempt to pick up any sound from the area that he was stuck in. His hands moved over the foliage, but they paused as the hairs on the back of his neck rose. There was no complete understanding to the reaction, but he sensed that he was not alone. Who or what he had no idea.

The sound that came from his left side startled him, and his head swung in the direction even as he lost his footing in his hurry to move around. Falling hard to the ground on his backside, he grunted. That sounded like a very large cat-like creature... and he was defenseless.

Panic rose up his throat as he scrambled backwards, his back practically wedging into the hedges. "Shit... not now," he slurred himself as he desperately felt around on the ground for something - anything - to defend himself with.

There was nothing. "Shit...!"

[Dashed through from here]

There was a definite spike of frustrated rage as Sephiroth caught sight of three different directions to take. He paused for a single moment, suddenly uncertain of which direction to go, before he began running down centre hedge corridor.

Rin caught up to Sephiroth when he paused at the junction in the maze. Despite her great dislike of running, she was quite in shape and hadn't broken a sweat yet. That would change, soon, if Sephiroth continued his mad dash through a maze.

She tilted her head a little at the options presented to them, the rage she could feel radiating off of the silver-haired man. And then he dashed off again. Down the center.

"Fool," she muttered, chasing after the man. "You're just going to get lost like that." Besides, in a maze, one should always go right.

There was a flash of orange and silver as Sephiroth spun himself around. He viewed the woman at her words. While he was known to have some semblance of logic in his method, but the extra feelings he was experiencing through the link was only jumbling up his own thoughts.

"And what might you suggest?" He purred, but the sound was nowhere near pleasant.

Rin came to a stop before Sephiroth, not once giving any indication that he was something to be feared. She didn't fear him and it was quite clear in her eyes as the light from her flashlight illuminated them behind her glasses. As she'd chased after the man, she'd used her dagger to slice off small pieces of the hedge so they would be visible on the ground - a sign of their passage.

"I suggest you stop running full tilt into this maze chasing after him like he was your long lost love and you'll die without his presence. Running in a near-blind panic like that will get you turned around and hopelessly lost," the immortal replied. "To navigate a maze, you need to keep a cool head and use your mind and not your instincts."

She paused and then indicated her flashlight, the shift causing the light to reflect off her glasses, obscuring her eyes from Sephiroth's sight. "Light also tends to help. Why did you choose the center path? Did you have any real reason for taking that way or was it because it was the one directly before
