'It wasn't supposed to be this way,' she thought as she slid down the wall, leaving a trail of blood through the sterile white paint. 'Ultimecia was gone. We were supposed to have a happy ending...'
She knew she was in shock. Knew, that despite the titanic powers she commanded as a sorceress, that she was dying. She had waited too long to defend herself, hoping that the emotions between herself and her attacker would protect her.
Rinoa Heartlily had been dead wrong about that.
Tears fell down her cheeks as Lionheart was slammed into her chest a second time. Squall was making sure the deed was done right.
"Why?" she managed to whisper, through blood covered lips.
"Why not?" was the cold, casual reply. "After all, SeeDs were created to kill sorceresses."
"You…promised…you'd be…my knight. Even if…the whole world…was against me…"
"I lied. Its over, Rin." Squall Leonheart turned and walked out of the room that they had shared until moments ago.
She tried to cast Curaga on herself, but she couldn't make her mind find the right spell. As the room blurred around her, she tried Full-Life as well, but her power seemed to have disappeared.
She felt cold, and the room was very dim around her when she heard Squall's voice again. "Oh, God, Rinoa…Who did this to you?"
'You did, Squall,' she tried to say. 'And God damn you, you don't remember.'
"Hang on, Rinoa. Just hang on. I'm going to get help."
And she tried. But when Squall came back into the room with the doctor, she was already gone.
