May 24th: 2 Traitors Among 6 Legends
AN: Ok, this is where Selphie's interest in Squall flares back up. And here is the focus on the "Legendary 6" this time like I promised for last chapter. Enjoy!
Squall walked towards the cafeteria to see Selphie sat with Zell and Quistis, who were both comforting her.
"First he sleeps with Rinoa, then he kills a SeeD. I'm not violent, but give me the chance and I'll kill him."
Squall over heard her comment and thought about it, then replied
"Selphie, I want you to come with me to Cid's office."
Selphie looked up at Squall and followed him up.
They arrived at his office and Cid got up and looked at Selphie in concern
"Squall, are you sure she's up to this?"
"I'll make sure she does well. Personally"
Cid looked up at Selphie and began to fill her in.
"Selphie, at 10:32 this morning, Seifer sent us a message saying that Senator Hetham has been assassinated. Hetham was Seifer's largest supporter. And apparently a man in a brown jacket with a ponytail and cowboy hat was spotted leaving the Galbadia Arches. He was confirmed as Irvine Kinneas. Subsequent investigation led to the discovery of a sniper rifle and a spent shell, matching the calibre used to kill Hetham. While Rinoa isn't so much of a bother, Irvine is a serious threat as he was our most skilled sniper, and along with his knowledge of the Garden, he is our biggest threat, as he could do much damage. We have traced him to a small town in Trabia called Frenula. We don't know his exact location in the town, but it's a small place, so he won't be hard to spot. Selphie Tilmitt, your mission is to kill Irvine Kinneas, and more importantly, find out where his superiors are transmitting from, so we can find the real Rebel Base, and kill the Caraways."
Selphie choked a little at the thought of having to kill her first love, but she looked up with determination.
"I accept, but I have a few terms."
"Name them"
"Firstly, I want to have Squall come along with me. And Quistis. Secondly, I want a big dinner with our group, in case we don't make it…"
Cid looked at her with a smile on his face at her determination, but frowns at her doubt that she won't survive.
Squall then replied to her pessimism
"We'll all survive, I'll make sure of it."
Selphie ran to Squall and hugged him. It knocked him back a little, but he hugged her back.
"That's what friends are for, and I need to be a better friend I think" he remarked quietly, as if he was struggling to talk, he'd never felt the need to be a good friend much before.
The first hour of dinner was very quiet, the group on their normal table, but with two chairs facing the opposite direction, symbolising not being a part of the group any longer.
(Guess what? Scripts again! YAY!)
After a long uncomfortable silence, Selphie spoke up first:
Selphie: Well I guess this is the end of our group of six
Zell: I can't believe we're having to kill them
Quistis: How could they betray us? And how can we stop them? They're detached, they can kill us and not care, but they've got us where it hurts.
Squall(desperate to stop them cracking up) : SHUT UP! How can you say all of this? You're letting them win.
Quistis (regaining composure): He's right. We need to understand that they are NOT our friends. They are enemies now. As long as we can do that, we should be fine.
(normal for now)
Selphie looked at Squall and smiled, and slowly spoke "Well, maybe we lost the group, but I guess we have a family of 4."
Squall was glad to see her cheer up and spoke after "And what cannot break a family will only strengthen it. And this will strengthen us. Irvine has threatened this family. We can't let him break us. Let's break him first"
Everyone cheered a little, but it still hurt that their 'friend' would be betray them and become a target.
Zell asked Selphie: "Why don't you want me to go? I want to help strengthen the family?"
Selphie looked at him and answered "I didn't think you'd want to be involved in killing your best friend"
Zell pushed his fist into his hand "He tried to kill Squall, he's not my friend"
Selphie smiled at his resolve and Squall squeezed her hand a little.
While doing this he exclaimed "Well, now's the time to go to war. Let's defend our family"
He smiled at Selphie and got up to go to his dorm. Everyone else followed suit.
AN: That was so so awful! I'm so sorry about that. But I'd love some help, and if anyone wants to proof read for me that would be so amazing! I think I know who my candidates are. Read and review!
