A/N- this is my first fan fiction so please be decent and review it. I will pick up the story during the prologue.

Prologue:

After the battle with Ultimecia Squall had proposed to Rinoa and they are now engaged. Rinoa had moved in with Squall inside of his new quarters. Garden had been moved to a safer location, now aboard the Ragnorak, which had had been given to them after Seed had saved the world. After the battle with Ultimecia, monsters in the training center had grown vicous, stronger, and more daring. The monster had overrun Garden completely and everyone was evacuated. The monsters, being more daring, would find their ways to the dormitories and attack cadets that were sleeping. At first Seeds were put on guard duty to protect the cadets. After three seeds were killed Squall had no choice but to evacuate Garden, and so his first real order as commander of Balmb Garden was to evacuate it.

Squall (POV)

"Everyone this is a message from your captain, Garden has been overrun and we will be evacuating immediately, this situation will only be temporary." My voice was booming over the PA system. "If you have family outside of Garden I highly recommend that you stay with them, the rest of you will be staying aboard the Ragnorak and Garden will be resuming as normal, this is classified as a vacation for those of you who take it. Good luck and may Hyne have mercy on us all."

After the announcement, one thing was still on my mind, and that was my fiancée, Rinoa. I flipped my phone open and speed dialed our room.

"Hello" came her voice from the other end on the second ring.

"Rinoa, I'm coming to you. Lock the door and get away from it. I love you," I said as I came from the bridge to the second floor. 'Damn elevator,' I thought as I pulled my gunblade from its sheath. Then I jumped, I jumped from the overpass that leads to the second floor classrooms.

Rinoa (POV)

I wasn't prepared when it happened, when we were told by my love Squall, to evacuate. "It must be pretty bad if we have to evacuate," I thought aloud. As I was getting my things my cell rang from across the room. "Hello," I said, and instantly knew that it was Squall by the way that he was breathing, anyone else would have been breathing very hard.

"Rinoa, I'm coming to you. Lock the door and get away from it. I love you," was all that he had said. I could tell he was in a hurry.

"I love you too," I said, but it was already to late, he had hung up the phone. I put the cell phone into my back pocket, then I quickly turned and finished what packing I had already started. I locked the door first though. After I had packed I was sitting on the bed waiting for my knight when a shadow appeared under the door frame.
