Chapter Seventeen
“Sanura? Sanura, are you feeling alright?” The question came from somewhere in the fuzzy darkness around her. No, not darkness, she realized, slowly opening her eyes to see a man with bright red hair and red tattoos under his eyes peering down at her.
“…who are you…?” A confused frown upon her lips, she sat up, before immediately searching the room. Although Tseng was a familiar face, as was Rude, she had no idea who the two blondes - a man and a woman - could be. “Tseng? Where’s my sister?”
“…she left, remember?” Tseng stepped forward to sit down on the couch beside her, before glancing to Reno, who stepped back slightly. “…do you have any idea where she could be, Sanura?”
“…no.” When the blonde man made an irritated noise much like a growl, she shot a frightened look towards him, before looking to Tseng and Rude in panic. To her surprise - and apparently that of the others in the room - neither man managed to speak up first.
“Boss, could you not do that? Scaring her won’t do you any good, she’d probably faint again, and then she couldn’t answer any of our questions.” The red-head commented, coupling the words with a grin that left the blonde with no reason to be offended.
“Seraphina is gone, she’s weak, and she could fall back into her previous state at any time. She could die, Reno!” The blonde snapped. So Reno is his name? Sanura thought, her gaze turning back to the red haired man. To her surprise, he moved to sit down on her other side - not touching her, probably due in large part to the death glares the entire group sent him when he sat, but for some reason, his presence beside her reassured her all the same.
“Sanura, do you have any idea where she could have gone?” Though Tseng’s voice was much kinder, there was an intensity in his tone that matched what had been in Rufus’s. “Why did she just leave?”
“I…It’s my fault. I made her feel like she had to choose between Sephiroth and myself….so she…so she took the only option she could think of. She chose neither of us…” Tears in her eyes, her shoulders slumped shortly after the last words passed her lips. As Rufus opened his mouth to speak, Reno glared at him. This made him realize what he had been planning to say would only upset her more, and would end with never obtaining any information from her. Rethinking his words, he turned toward the door, glancing back over his shoulder at Reno.
“I’m docking your pay for the week. Insubordination is not a quality prized in a member of the Turks.” He snapped.
“Where are you going?” Tseng got to his feet, moving to the door after their boss even as Rufus opened it.
“I’m going to start looking for her.” His voice was quiet as he glanced back again, “…she’s out there somewhere.”
“I’m coming with you.” The statement was followed as he joined Rufus in leaving the room. When the door snapped shut, Sanura’s shoulders slumped even more, gaze locked on the floor.
“She always was Tseng’s favorite…” She whispered, gaze drifting to Rude in surprise when he had not left. “…why aren’t you going with them?”
“Because you need me more right now, Nura.”
“No…I’m fine…really…”
“Right, because it’s not like you look like death warmed over or anything.” The female voice made her jump, having forgotten the woman was there. “Come on - you look like you’re in dire need of a bath and something warm to drink. Reno, Rude, we’re going to my apartment.”
“I’ll go get the car. Come on, Reno.” As Rude reached the door and Reno hadn’t moved, he turned back, arching a brow. “Now, Reno.”
“Now that they’re gone…” The woman dropped to sit on the coffee table in front of Sanura. “I’m Elena. As I’m sure you’ve realized, I’m a Turk.”
“I’m Sanura…but I guess you’ve figured that out by now.”
“I had. Would you like to get some clothes on the way?”
“I don’t really care…”
“Hmm. Tseng mentioned that Sephiroth opened accounts in your and Seraphina’s names - from the sound of things, there’s a decent amount in each, so money is no worry.”
“Alright then, I guess…I really don’t want to have anything to do with that money…or anything from him.”
“What? Why not?” Elena looked startled. “He’s your brother, and he was making sure you and your sister would be taken care of if anything happened to him.”
“He’s a monster…have you seen the labs? The innocent blood everywhere?!”
“I wouldn’t use the term ‘innocent’ if I were you.” Rude’s voice was dark, almost a growl, from where he stood in the doorway. Elena had no idea what had brought the change to his tone, but it faded as he stepped fully into the room. “Reno’s waiting in the car downstairs.”
“Reno is driving?” Elena’s tone made Sanura look to her in confusion.
“Why? Is that bad?”
