Chapter 1-Meetings, People and Mutations OH MY!
By Calikitten calikitten- Hey! This is my first crack as FF8, so don't kill me! ** **-thoughts ""- speech (Disclaimer is already somewhere and I'm too lazy to put it so HA!) The girl entered into the unfamiliar surroundings, and looked around. Her ivory black hair was neatly pushed off her face as she regarded the people passing her with a smile.
The formal event was large, but she was looking for one face.
"Hey." She spotted the young man, and sat down beside him.
"Hey."
"They make you come?"
"Yup."
"Same here."
"I feel your pain."
They shared a smile, but were interrupted by another woman.
"Yes?"
"I hate to ruin your lengthy conversation, you and Maeghan are needed in front of the grand council."
"Thanks Ellone." Maeghan smiled at the woman.
"Ya...sis." The man said.
"C'mon Squall." Maeghan walked off.
"Try to enjoy yourself, alright Squall?" Ellone looked at her brother, worried.
"Whatever." He said as he walked off.
***
Rinoa Heartilly was one of the biggest aristocrats in the society. Not to mention, she was one of the strongest people in the crowd, but that wasn't a big deal.
She wasn't only rich, beautiful and smart, but she was one of the gifted. Her mother had been one of the few women who had been tested on and received a latent gene that mutated her, gave her special powers...those things.
She leaned back on the railing of the balcony. She smiled as she heard her friend approach her from behind.
"Quistis, Selphie...what took you?" **I knew they'd do that**
"Not funny." Selphie was a shape shifter after her mother had been crossed with a bird.
"Selphie's right." Quistis smirked. She also came from a mutated family. Her mother had been magnetized, so she could move metal objects.
"So why did you guys come?"
"Good looking guys, and he had to come." Selphie looked distinctly at her older brother Seifer.
"I was forced here." Quistis was toying with some keys, dropping them, and then retracting them.
"This is awful..."
"I know..."
"We have to do something..."
That was when Seifer approached them.
"We're being called for a meeting of the leaders." He turned as the girls followed him into a meeting hall. ***
Maeghan read the mind waves. Her family had been mutated. So she could usually take on the traits of anyone around her, and multiply them to the hundredth degree of power. Although, she stuck to manipulating objects with her brainwaves as her base power.
"Something wrong brother dear?" she asked innocently. **What are you hiding?**
"Nothing." Squall sighed, he could simply multiply his power using certain objects (mostly weapons), making him deadly.
"I can read your mind."
"I can block you from entering." **Like this**
"Don't make me force it Squall." **Not funny**
"Now that's a good offer, ain't it?" A leering voice came as Irvine Kinneas and Zell Dincht joined them in the hall.
Irvine, had the ability to 'charm' people, and had deadly precise aim. Zell could turn certain parts of his body into metal and could charge them to be faster and more powerful...
The group of four usually stuck around each other a lot, since the boys went to school together.
"Irvine, stop being a pervert." Maeghan sighed as she looked at the figures that'd grown to become brothers to her
"What?"
"That's too hard, it's his nature." Zell grinned
"I forgot about that..." Maeghan muttered
"What's wrong with being perverted."
"Nothing Irvy...it's just that..." Maeghan paused, "It's worse to be a stupid pervert who gets his only sense of knowledge from his hat."
"SCORE!" Maeghan and Zell high-fived and Squall sent extremely happy thoughts through their link.
"That hurt me Maeghan." Irvine whimpered and grabbed his chest in 'pain'
"I know something that will hurt more." Squall looked at his friend.
"What?"
"We're here." ***
The meeting of the leaders was a time for partying, accompanied with the ceremonial meeting.
Squall tried to sit beside Maeghan to protect her from the creeps he knew would appear, but she was made to sit beside someone else...some creepy guy.
"Squall!" Squall looked up at the man he dreaded
"Father." He muttered. ***
Rinoa entered the room to see one of the stronger clan leaders talking to a boy...
**Probably his son or something**
She saw a girl sitting beside a really old, kind of sickly creepy man, but instantly recognized the girl.
**Maeghan? **
All she got was a pathetic look that clearly looked like a plead for help. ***
"Excuse me sir! That's my seat." Rinoa but in.
"What?"
"You're in my place."
"Really?"
"Yes that's where I always sit, remember you sit on the other side?"
"I don't know about that."
"You should listen to the lady." The good looking brunette had entered, his eyes were flashing (after tearing himself away from his father Rinoa noticed).
"I'm sorry sir, but Rinoa sits here." Maeghan added.
"Rinoa?"
"The heir to the Heartilly gang?"
"Oh yes...of course. Here you go miss!" The man left hurriedly, sweat gathering on his forehead.
"No problem." She said brightly, before sitting down beside Maeghan.
"Hey Rin!" Maeghan grinned."
"You're welcome."
**For what?** Maeghan looked at her innocently
**You know** Rinoa smirked.
"Have you met my brother Squall?"
Squall smiled his 'trying to polite nothing else' smile, "Hello..."
"Hello." Rinoa felt like she was going to melt.
"Meeting's starting...are Quistis and Selphie here?"
"Ya...they should be here somewhere."
"All leaders rise!"
Maeghan and Quistis rose along with some other people. Being the eldest of their gang, they had to rise to honor.
**Where's Uncle Laguna?** Maeghan sent to Squall.
**Look for the moron in the jester's hat, and you'll see him**
Maeghan snickered, but concealed it with a cough. Squall smirked in response.
**Evil child**
**I'm older than you are**
**So?**
**Whatever**
**I'll get you back later** Maeghan sent as she broke the connection.
"Any issues?" Laguna stood at the head of the table, beside another man...Rinoa's father. ***
