Hello

Hello! This is my fourth fiction and like the rest it will be a bit dark. I hate no character so don't hate me for eventually causalities. Square owns the game and characters.

Just to give you a picture over the clothes they are wearing now. Squall wears the same outfit except for that the T-shirt is black and the leatherjacket is replaced whit a black trenchcoat whit Griever on the back (Explaining why later), Rinoa is wearing a pair of jeans and a red tank top and of course the blue coat whit angelwing motives from the game. The story takes place one year after the game

Captured

Chapter 1.The negotiation

Squall, Rinoa was on their way to a meeting to discuss Timbers independence together whit Watts and Zone.

"Finally after all this years, we will finally get our independence." Watts said.

"I know. It is nearly too good to be true." Rinoa answered. "Squall, why haven't you said anything on the whole trip? Is it something that bothers you?"

"Well, I don't know exactly what it is but something feels wrong. It feels like something bad is going to happen." Was Squall's reply.

"You worry too much." Said Rinoa whit a smile. "Try to relax for a bit."

"I will try to, but only if you promise to keep your eyes open."

"I will do that if it helps you to relax for a bit."

"We are almost there, so make sure you have the treaty whit you whit our demands." Zone said behind the steering wheel.

"I still think we should have brought whit us some reinforcement if it is a trap." Squall said.

"Yes, but the conditions for this meeting were no weapons and that we came ourselves." Rinoa said. "By the way, why have you changed your leatherjacket to a trench coat? It looks kind of weird on you."

"I am wearing it just to have the possibility to smuggle this one whit me." He said and showed what he had hidden under the coat.

"You brought the Lionheart whit you?" She said a bit worried.

"Well, maybe we will need it later."

"Just keep it hidden until then please. I don't want to put the negotiations in any danger."

As they drove up to the governmental building they were met up by a delegation who guided them into the building.

"Go ahead the rest of you; I just have to release some pressure." Squall said and headed for the bathroom.

Rinoa:

As Rinoa and her two friends entered the room where the negotiations was going to be held they saw the new president of Galbadia standing there whit soldiers, ready to fire.

"What is this?" Rinoa said whit a confused voice. "I thought this was going to be a peaceful meeting."

"How dumb can you be? Did you really believe that we were going to let go of Timber? Arrest them."

Zone and what started to run but they just made it out in the corridor before they got gunned down. Rinoa tried to escape but was overpowered in instant and cuffed whit Odine bangles.

"Find Leonhart and arrest him to." The president ordered. "We are going to have a little chat you and I about the other resistance movements."

Rinoa felt so helpless when she realised that the soldiers where to strong for her.

"(Squall, please be ok.)"

Squall:

Squall was washing his hands when he heard a lot of noise and gunfire. When he looked out in the hallway he saw the gunned down Zone and Watts. Suddenly some troops appeared.

"(Shit, this will get rough)" He thought.

The soldiers chased him down the hallway, until he saw no other choice than to jump out trough a window. Luckily they were on the first floor so he had a pretty soft landing. He ran and slipped down into the sewers.

"(I knew something should go wrong from the moment I heard about the meeting.)" He thought. "(There are no possibilities to contact any of the gardens for help, so I just have to do the rescue myself.)"

Rinoa:

She was thrown into one of the prisons they had in the city, just so the president could be present during the interrogation.

She was strapped into a chair as the president smirked his lips in amusement.

"Where are the rest of the resistance movements hiding?" The interrogator asked.

"I will never betray them. It doesn't matter how many times you ask." Rinoa said as she gathered as much courage she could.

"We will see about that." The interrogator answered as he slapped her hard.

She let out a small gasp at the sudden hit.

"If you think that hurt, you have seen nothing yet." The interrogator said as he started to beat her repeatedly. You could see how he enjoyed it.

"(I must hold on. Sometime they must stop.)" She thought.

"Enough for now, take her to her cell. Maybe she will be more cooperative later." The president said after an hour.

She was thrown into a cell, barely conscious.

"Rinoa, is it you?" She heard a familiar vice in the darkness.

"Dad?" She squeaked weakly after the several beatings.

"Oh my god. What have they done to you?" Fury Caraway said in a worried voice as he saw his daughter all bruised up. He helped her to the bed and sat whit her, trying to comfort her.

"T-they want me to tell a-about the rest of f-freedom fighters hidings." She said as the pain and tiredness started to take its toll on her. "S-squall managed to escape I think."

"Then at least we have a small hope." Caraway said. "I tried to warn you about the trap but I got captured before I had the chance. Now try to rest for a bit."

"D-dad, I am s-sorry. I screwed it up. I w-wanted to m-make a difference, but ended up getting two of my friends killed instead. I am sorry for the grief I have caused you." She said as tears streaming down her cheeks.

"No need to apologise. For the first time I see what you guys tried to do. Your mother could have been proud. Now, rest for a wile." He said as Rinoa fell asleep of the exhaustion.

This is the first chapter. I have run into a dilemma about the ending so I want some opinion about if I shall do a happy ending, sad ending or a tragic ending. I have all three endings in my head right now, it is just so difficult to choose.
