Chapter 6
"RINOA! WHERE ARE YOU?"
(Don't give up! Keep looking!) Squall kept those phrases repeated in his mind.
"Squall?"
The young boy quickly walks towards the owner of the sweet voice he just heard.
"Squall!"
"Rinoa! Are you alright? Where were you? Didn't you see Selphie just now? And where did you get that dog?" Squall shot all his questions at once.
"Um.Squall, are you angry with me?" Rinoa asked quietly as she petted the little puppy in her arms.
Squall felt his heart soften when he heard her angelic voice. (Angelic? Why do I always associate her with angels?! She's just an ordinary girl who's oblivious about the dangers of the world!)
"No, why should I be angry? I don't care what happens to you!" Squall snapped as he crossed his arms and turned his back to the young raven hair girl who was tickling the brown puppy.
Rinoa giggled, "You're so cute when you get angry!"
Squall turned around and slowly walked towards Rinoa. He petted the puppy and asked softly, "So how did you get this puppy?"
"When I was hiding, I saw this puppy. It probably saw me too and thought I was dangerous as it started running away from me. I chased after it of course, and saw that it had found a Jelleye, which looked like it was about to attack this poor thing. Then I threw a stone to distract the monster, grabbed the puppy and started running away. I've been sitting here with the puppy, waiting for Selphie to find me ever since then."
The puppy licked Squall's palm making him smile and let out a soft laugh. "We better go back. Matron and the others are probably worried about us."
*ROAR*
"Ah!! What kinda monster is that? Jelleyes don't go ROAR!" Rinoa yelled over the loud growl.
"I dunno! We better run for it!" Squall grabbed Rinoa's hand and broke into a run as she held the puppy close to her with her other arm.
Suddenly, a Blitz jumped in front of them blocking their path as it let out another fierce roar. (A/n: Yup, the Blitz was a really terrifying monster to them. Remember, they're four not seventeen!)
The duo wasted no time running in the opposite direction as fast as their tiny legs could.
The Blitz lifted its weapon and brought it down onto a nearest tree causing it to break into two, missing Squall and Rinoa by a mere inch.
It started chasing the kids, stopping only when it attempts to make a tree topple over them.
"Squall, I'm getting tired!" Rinoa managed to say between deep breaths.
Squall felt an object in his pocket and took it out. The lighter shone in his hands and he quickly fumbled to flick on a flame. Succeeding, he stopped to turn around and threw the lighter at the Blitz with his best shot.
The Blitz was unaffected by the tiny fire and flung the lighter aside with its weapon. The lighter hit a toppled tree which in turn caught fire. The fire slowly spread to the closest tree, then to the next. Soon, the Blitz was encircled by dancing flames.
"Yeah! Way to go Squall!" Rinoa cheered as the puppy in her arms started to yelp.
Squall smiled but his smile soon disappeared as the fire continued to spread to the trees in their direction.
"RUN!"
The two of them soon found themselves sprinting again, trying to get out of the forest of dangers.

*At the Orphanage*
Five kids quietly crept into the stone orphanage.
(Hope matron and Mr. Kramer are not back yet.) Selphie prayed.
As soon as the kids entered the hall, they were greeted by:
"WHERE HAVE YOU KIDS BEEN?? I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE ALL EATEN BY ZOMBIFIED MOGS OR CRAZED CHOCOBOS!"
"Relax, dear." Edea spoke gently to husband then changed her tone of voice, "Where were you all? I thought I told you not to step out of here! It's dangerous out there! Quistis! I left you in charge to make sure everyone obeys my words and I'm greatly disappointed with you. Explain."
Quistis took a step forward nervously and started, "Um.We were bored.there was nothing to do.Seifer suggested going to play in the forest.and we played hide and seek.there wasn't many monsters.only Jelleyes that we easily avoided."
"Where's Rinoa and Squall? And why are Zell and Irvine dragging a sleeping Seifer?" Edea questioned some more.
"It's all mwy fault! *sniff* I wanted ta pway some more! I could not find Rinny and then *sniff* Seifer and Sqwall started fwighting and *sniff* and Irvine threw slewpin powder at Seifer *sniff* and then *sniff* Sqwall go look for Rin and we came back to get hwelp!" Selphie cried, her words muffled by her sobs.
(Those two are in grave danger!) "Mr. Kramer and I will go look for them. Meanwhile, you all are to sit here without a word and repent on your misbehavior. No supper for you all tonight!" Edea stated as she made her way to the door.
"What about Seifer? Doesn't he need to be punished too?" Zell asked.
"He will get his share when he wakes up!" Cid replied.
The couple quickly stepped out of the orphanage. From a distant, they could see a forest of fire. Edea felt as though her heart was ripped out knowing there was a good chance that her children might be there..
