"The Transformation"



Disclaimer: All characters belong to Squaresoft.

A/N: Sorry I didn't give part 1a title. I guess you could call it.... "His Past Is Revealed" or something like that.

A/N #2: This part is shorter than the first part. I didn't feel like writing 8 pages this time. Sorry!

"There he is everyone!" shouted a female voice. Squall looked up from the floor he was staring at, and found almost he whole ballroom looking at him. He blushed, and tried to edge his way to the exit, but his friends caught up with him.



Zell was first. "Ah, I knew you always loved Rinoa," he said.



"Can it."



"Hey, so our lone wolf here can't take a joke, can he?"



"I said shut up."



"Actually you said 'Can it'."



"Just shut up, okay?" he said, hoping no one else would hear them arguing.



Too late. Irvine showed up, with a nervous looking Selphie on his arm.



"So, what's this I hear about you kissing Rinoa and spilling the beans on your past?" he asked.



"Drop dead," was the response.



"Hey!"



"Irvine, I'm sorry," apologized Squall. "But she," he glared at Selphie. "Caught Rinoa and I by surprise."



"Oh. But, what if it wasn't her? What if you thought it was her, but it was someone else?"



"Oh please Irvine. I know that high pitched weird laugh of hers. Everyone does. I hate to break it to you, but she was the one."



Irvine looked down at the girl clinging his arm. "Selphie, is this true?"



"Are you mad?" asked Selphie.



"Just tell me whether you did it or not," he repeated.



Selphie looked down at the floor, her face red. "Um...yes, it was me. Are you mad?" she asked.



Irvine's face broke out in a grin. "Of course not. You, Selphie, have finally accomplished what everyone else has been trying to get Squall to do!"



"And that is...?" asked Squall.



"Make you talk to us for more than three or four sentences at a time. Plus get you to talk about yourself and your past. Selphie, you did it!" Irvine picked her up and swung her around.



Slightly pissed off now, Squall turned and walked out of the ballroom. He headed for the dormitories. But, at the last minute, instead of going to his room, he made a detour and headed outside for another breath of fresh air. Squall stood there silently, his hands in his pockets, and his head tilted back slightly. He sighed, and a jet of "frost" shot from his mouth. Squall smiled, remembering how he used to love doing that as a kid during the winter. He'd have a big snowball fight with some friends, and then they would lie on their backs and make snow angels.



Squall looked up at the moon. 'How pretty it is,' he thought to himself. 'Reminds me of Rinoa. It looks like the color of her skin....' he trailed off.



(A/N: This has kinda been bugging me. If you've seen the cover of the FF8 strategy guide, the one with Squall, Rinoa and Seifer on the cover, then answer me this. Does anyone know why Squall and Seifer have normal colored skin, and Rinoa's is WHITE???

It's been bugging me..... I feel better now.... ^_^)



Suddenly, a swooping sound to his left made Squall pull back, startled out of his thoughts. A shadow flying by his right caused him to pull out his gunblade. Squall stood in the ready position, prepared to attack whoever had startled him. He looked all around, and only at the last minute when it was too late did he look up....



The dark shadow was no longer a shadow. It was a pitch black creature with red eyes, which were simply slits in its face. It had no nose, but it's mouth...it's mouth was a hole in its face. Two pearly white teeth, pointed, hung down from the roof of its mouth, as well as two more on the bottom jaw. Squall opened his mouth in terror, but before he could scream, the creature was upon him.



It lurched forwards, and its teeth closed around Squall's neck. He jerked, then went still as the creature began draining his energy. It finished quickly, then flew back a few feet as another form materialized.



This time, it was a person. If you looked closely, you could tell is was female. Her clothing was all black, to help him blend in with the night. Not that she really needed it. Where Balamb was currently resting, it got REALLY dark at night. She had on shiny black shoes, and she wore a black cape.



"Good job Yara, " he told the creature, which made a weird noise in response.



(A/N: Sorry about the weird names. I just pick a letter on my keyboard, and think of other letters which would make a different, unique name. Once more, I'm sorry!)



The woman landed on the ground, and crouched down by Squall's still body. She reached into her pocket, and pulled out a vial of some dark reddish liquid. She hesitated a moment, then uncorked the bottle. Tilting it so the liquid would spill out, she poured into the holes Yara had made in Squall's neck. Then she waited.



She needn't have waited long. In just seconds, the holes in Squall's neck disappeared. He twitched, then opened his eyes. Blinking, he shook his head, then managed to stand up. Squall looked at the woman, then smiled.



"Hello Adel," he said.

Heh heh...a cliffhanger. Don't get mad at me, blame a fried of a friend of mine. She writes Digimon stories, and she always leaves her readers on a cliffhanger. So I've adopted that technique too. Sorry. This conversation between Adel and Squall will be continued in Part 3, so look for it!!!
