A/N: Okay let me put this straight. If you read this story and find it confusing, don't worry, because I'm working on it! LOL! This chapter will be in the present situation, and the later parts of the chapter would feature the events before this and then what happens after the present event. Sorry if it sounds confusing. ..;;

Everything felt silent within the castle hall. There was nobody around, except for two individuals who stood face to face with each other. A man, and a woman. The woman's black angel wings spread out, as if reaching towards the heavens, and the man, his Lion Heart gripped tightly in his hands.
"I can feel it coming back…" The woman said in a soft tone.
"No! You can't! You have to fight it!" The man shouted at her, tears starting to brim at the corner of his eyes.
"It's too powerful… she is too powerful… my mind… it isn't strong enough to hold her off…"
The woman took a step closer to the man and looked at him with her violet colored eyes. She gave a warm smile that made him falter just a little.
"You must do it. Even… even if it pains you to do so." The woman said, taking the hands of the man within hers. "Use the gunblade."
"But…"
"Pierce through my heart, like you would've done to any other sorceress who has turned evil." She said, her grip tightening.
"I can't do it! I won't do it!" The man exclaimed tears starting to pour out. "There has to be another way!"
"You are a knight, aren't you? You should be able to abide by your sorceress's decision." The woman said, looking at the man in the eyes.
"This is a different story. I won't do it!" The man said, looking away from the sorceress.
"You'll be doing a favour to us all; especially to your friends and even to me." The woman simply stated.
"There has got to be another way… isn't there?" The man looked at the woman's soft complexion. "I don't want it to end like this… I can't… it won't…"
"I knew you would say that…" The woman said, releasing the grip on the man's hand as well as the gun blade that was held in his hands and stepped away from him.
"No! Don't-"
She smiled at him.
"Everything will be fine. Don't worry."
"I WON'T ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN!" The man shouted, more tears starting to flow.
"You're afraid that you'll be alone again… aren't you?" The woman said. The man stood silent for a moment, his eyes wide. Slowly, he turned his head done and gave a nod. She smiled once more.
"I'll always be here…"
The woman raised the gunblade and pointed it towards her chest. The man's head jolted up at her statement.
"NO!"
Holding the gunblade tightly, raised the gunblade slightly away from her heart, before she proceeded to stab herself with it, and closed her eyes tightly.
I'm sorry, Squall…
A/N:How was it? Meh, anti-climatic, I know, but hey. XD How did you like it? Sorry it's so short, but yeah… I couldn't think of anything else to write! But don't worry; next chapters will be longer, promise! XD Yeah, I know characters in this chapter didn't have a name (except at the last part where the man is revealed to be Squall) but hey, I like it! XD
Reviews, anyone? Please:3
