Run chapter 1

Too Fast

I don't own anything from final fantasy VIII.

We were running. Running so fast and so hard that it was hard for my mind to contemplate. Squall was in front of me, holding onto my hand. He was faster and stronger than me. My chest was tight and pain ripped through me. I needed to stop but we had to keep going. Just a little further.

Finally I couldn't hold on. I fell to my knees, gasping for air. Taking in painful gulps into my burning lungs. Squall stopped with me, he bent down and whispered to me, " Rin we have to keep going"  I nodded. " I know…but just…a little longer" I gasped.

"Yeah just a little longer…" I could hear yelling. I bet their angry…angry at me, at Squall. How will we get away from them?

The smell of smoke still hung in the air. The memories form just moment ago was replaying in my mind. The car crash. The fire burning up the side of my seat. The smoke choking me and burying me deep into unconsciousness. A hand grabbing me roughly and dragging me away from their, away from the yells and the chilling screams. Feeling my ear drums almost explode from the roar of the car bursting into flames.

These memories flooded me, haunted me. They always will. No matter how hard I try to forget. Squall gripped my hand again and we off again. Running from them. My eyes still burned and my legs wouldn't carry me. I had been burnt along the side of my right leg and now the pain was coming back…coming back too fast.

" Squall!" I yelled. I fell down, toppling over myself. I heard his footsteps running over to me.

Goodnight.

"Rinoa stay awake! We'll get there…we will" He lifted me up into his arms, and continued running. He was desperate to get me away.

Why are you doing this Squall?

Why are risking yourself to take me away from them?

Is it because you love me? Is it because you care?

Just take me away…take me away from them…

My mind was lost to everything around me and I drifted off into the blank emptiness that was unconsciousness. Taking me away from this place.

A/N: Yes I re wrote this chapter as well as the second and third chapter. They were too short. So now please review and tell me what you think.
