Silent Screams
A/N: Ok, getting into a little bit more action here. Thankies to EVERYONE who has reviewed so far. I could really use some more, considering this is probably going to be going on for, maybe, about 50 more chapters. I'm not promising anything, but this is going to be EXTREMELY long. And yes, a character does die. Hehe, sorry to give away something so important. But, an old friend of mine asked where this was going so, I told her what the story was about and what I was planning. Now, I'm going to listen to my mix of Nubuo Uematsu.
Chapter 10
Flowers stroked her golden blonde hair as the wind blew backwards. She watched the flowers turn into glass and the bright blue-sky turn into black. She closed her eyes, tears flowing out. 'Not again,' she thought. The shards surrounded to her and she quickly surrendered. She sunk to the floor, her body limp with fatigue. She heard the laughter, but didn't care. Echoes of laughter filled her mind and she went spiraling into a quick depression. The eyes that were there before were red now.
Soon after she saw the eyes, she went into battle. She looked around carefully, waiting for her enemy to appear. Soon, she saw a cloaked figure walking in the distance. Quistis pulled on her whip to exchange blows, only to find she had no whip. The cloaked figure moved closer to Quistis. Quistis rose her hands, ready to call on a guardian force. With one quick motion, however, the cloaked figure killed the guardian force. Quistis silently cast her magic, only to feel the magic being drained from her.
"What are you doing! What's going on!" Quistis screamed.
The cloaked figure soon extended its long hand. Quistis was suddenly confused. The cloaked figure walked over to her, again, extending its long hand. Quistis cocked an eyebrow, still confused. The figure shook its hand angrily, getting impatient obviously. Quistis shrugged, mimicking the figure. Suddenly, she saw a long, black, coiled whip in her hand. She looked down at the whip and back up to the figure, only to realize she was by herself.
Quistis uncoiled the whip and cracked it softly. The leather was old and worn, but did not break. On the handle was an engraved sentence. "The Silent Moon," Quistis whispered out loud. At the end of the whip was a crescent shaped spike. She cracked it again, only to see a rising moon past the darkness.
A silent voice, a voice she heard before, called out to her, "The planetary eclipse of the sun has begun."
Quistis searched around, only to see the fading moon. "Wait!" she called out. It was as if the moon was talking to her. "What do you mean?"
The voice, again, called out to her, "The darkness shall cover the light in a matter of months. With that eternal whip made in the first full moon, you shall destroy the evil. After the evil is destroyed, you will destroy the whip, but killing your true love."
The voice was fading. "What...I'm so confused!" Quistis called out. The shards of glass surrounded her and twirled like diamonds in the night sky.
"Quistis Trepe. You are the ultimate power, you are the final blue mage, you are the true savior of the world," the faded voice called out to her. "Save me by killing the ultimate evil, the final black sorceress, the destroyer of the world."
Quistis jolted up from her deep sleep. 'Kill Rinoa?' she thought. Rinoa was the final sorceress, but the destroyer and ultimate evil of the world? Quistis look around the strange room, forgetting where she was. She sighed and laid back down, only to feel the soft breathing of someone. Suddenly, it all came back to her. The night before with Squall, the long, passionate kiss, the...
Quistis' eyes went wide. She had slept with Squall. She had lost her one pureness to Squall. She looked over at him lying there, his maple hair brushed to one side. It looked like it was his best sleep in ages. Quistis smiled softly, brushing his hair back into place. 'Should I leave?' she thought. 'I did promise Seifer I'd be back in morning with my things packed.' She sighed softly, only to feel soft hands rub her back.
"Everything ok?" she heard Squall mumble out. She turned and looked at him, smiling softly. "You were tossing and turning all night, Quis."
She hung her head, still smiling. "I thought you were asleep." He shrugged. "I'm fine. Just...had a nightmare."
She thought back to the dream then. She had to kill Rinoa. It didn't make any sense at all to her. "What's on your mind?" he finally asked.
"Nothing. Nothing at all."
He sat up, watching the morning sun rise slowly up. "Something is." She shook her head and Squall sighed. "Um, should we talk about what happened?" he asked.
Quistis turned her body around to face Squall, only to feel his strong arms wrap around her. "Sure," she whispered happily out.
"You in pain?" he asked. Quistis grinned softly.
"Not much." He nodded. "How bout you?" He shook his head. Neither said anything else. "I..."
At that same moment, Squall said, "I..."
The both laughed softly. "Go ahead," Quistis mumbled out.
"I don't want you to leave Garden." Quistis rested her head onto Squall's shoulder. He had never been so open with her before. "If you leave, Quis, I'm going with you."
She sighed softly. "Squall, you can't come with me." He looked sadly into her eyes, his eyes now a deep blue. She was amazed at how his eye color changed. "I'm leaving with Seifer."
Squall glared softly. "So, you are moving in with him." Quistis wrapped her arms around him, holding him tightly. His body grew stiff. "Squall...don't be angry, please?"
"I'm going with you, then." Quistis sighed. "I don't care what he has to say!" Squall finally screamed. He quickly silenced his voice and said, "I love you, Quistis. As much as you may hate to admit it, as much as you may love Seifer, as much as you deny it, and as much as anything, I love you. I'm not losing you to some idiot."
Quistis stared deeply into his eyes. "I...know you're just saying that because you read my journal and feel bad."
Quistis stood up, feeling him grab at her arm. She pulled it away, picking up her outfit and slowly placing back on her clothes. Squall sighed, smashing his head into the pillow. "Quistis," he mumbled out. She turned and looked at him. "I didn't even know you had feelings for me. Like you said, it was sisterly, and I thought I loved you brotherly." Quistis' eyes went wide. "I knew it wasn't brotherly, though. And I just denied my feelings to be with Rinoa. I thought I loved her."
Quistis, half dressed, sat on the edge of the bed. "Squall." He sat up. "I'll talk to Seifer to see what I can do, ok?"
A/N: NO! This is not going to be a Quall...or is it?
