Chapter 2: Coming up From Behind


Somebody planned to finally bring SeeD to the depths of hell...Especially Seifer Almasy


Seifer opened his eyes and saw that he was in a dark dome shaped room. This was to familiar for his liking, he tried to move but found that he was held by invisible bindings, then he heard it.


"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," the same high pitched laugh filled with venom and evil. This just couldn't be, she was dead! His friends had killed her and set him free from that horrible fate. Seifer just couldn't believe it.


"No..." he whispered. "Y...Your..."


"Dead?" the voice was right next to him now showing the figure he had hoped was indeed dead. It was Ulticimia. "You really think that kursed SeeD kould stop me? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Seifer winced as she laughed, even when he was under her control he still winced at that laugh.


"This isn't real!" he choked out, he had already had many nightmares about Ulticimia but this was different somehow. "Its another stupid dream! Your fucking dead!"


"Do you really think my Knight would let me die?" she asked like she was innocent like she didn't deserve to have her head cut of and be laughed at be infants watching. Seifer looked confused as she placed a hand on his cheek. "No not you, you never were my Knight you were always just a lost little lamb."


"What..." before he could finish a figure emerged from the shadows with the same sadistic gleam that had graced Seifer's eyes in the past. The only difference was that this was natural. "Squall?"


"This is my Knight, my one and only Knight," she kissed the tall blue eyed boy.


"Squall no!" Seifer shouted struggling against the magic. "She..is..controlling you!" Squall came over and kicked him in the stomach.


"Shut the hell up Seifer I'm sick of listening to you!" he kicked him again and again until Ulticimia whispered something into his ear. He smiled, not a happy joyous smile, not a smirk and cold, deadly smile...If only looks could kill. "Like I said ol' buddy, I'm sick of listening to you and your voice, so we're going to give you a little taste of your own medicine, I know it sounds cliche but I can't think of a better fraise for it," he kicked Seifer in the stomach again causing internal bleeding.


"You bas..." he stopped when a coughing fit came over him and he felt the blood rise into his throat. Squall kneeled down making there eyes meet directly, they looked were filled with the feeling of fun.


"Don't talk Seifer," he hissed and smiled. "Its time to wake up".


His eyes fluttered as he awoke from unconsciousness, it was just a dream, thank Hyne. Everything was all right, he was there in the training center where he had fallen asleep last night, with Quistis and...And blood was dripping out of his mouth. Seifer's eyes were wide now and his body tensed, and then he heard screaming. He bolted right up causing Quistis to wake up considering she was sleeping on his chest.


"Seifer what's...Your bleeding what happened?!!" she questioned but he didn't hear her, he heard something else.


~What's wrong Seifer, you liked that scream not to long ago~


"No..No I didn't!" Seifer answered the voice. Quistis looked at him strangely.


~Oh yes you did I should know~


"Oh Hyne...Your...Your," he was stuttering as fear gripped his soul so hard he could barely breath.

~Yeah, your quicker now hm?~ the voice paused. ~You know exactly who I am~


"Get out of my head," Seifer demanded, the voice only laughed.


~Why? Are you afraid I might do something bad, like last time? Maybe do something to our dear instructor? She is one hot little thing but I wouldn't mind taking a few hot pokers, considering you threw away my weapon, and just slash...~ the voice was cut off by Quistis.


"Seifer, what's wrong with you?" she crawled over to him and reached her hand out but he just quickly stood up and backed away.


"Don't...Quistis just don't come near me..." he pleaded now sobbing quietly. She also came to a standing position and looked him straight in the eye, what was wrong with him now?


"Why not?"


~I'm poison~


"I'm poison, I am death...I just don't want to hurt anyone..." he put a hand on his head, there was a growing pain.


~Its too much fun~


"Its too much fun," Seifer mimicked the voice inside him the one that made him do all of those horrible things...Kill people...Kill...Blood...Death...No..."NO!!!"


~Yes Seifer, Kill people make them bleed once again, death is the only thing you know~ the pain was getting worse and worse, surging through his brain, so bad he couldn't scream, he could only listen.


~KILL PEOPLE!!! MAKE THEM BLEED!! BRING DEATH, DEATH KILL THEM ALL!!! RELEASE ME!!! YOU WILL KILL THEM!!!!!!!!!~


"NOOOOOO!!!" Seifer finally found his voice and let out a scream of agony before collapsing to the ground. Quistis rushed to his side and looked at him, he had definite internal bleeding but that seemed to be all that was physical. If she wasn't so scared she probably could have handled it.


"Seifer?!! SOMEBODY GET SOME HELP!" she yelled out to no one in particular, but luckily two SeeD candidates were training close by and came at the call for help. One was a girl with dark brown hair and the other was a boy with the same colored hair.


"What's going on?" the boy asked a little winded from running across the training center.


"Help me get him into the infirmary he is injured and needs help immediately!" she commanded the two teenagers they did what they were asked and left the special spot, Quistis and the boy carrying Seifer while the girl went to inform Doctor Kadowaki.


This was more like it, or so the figure watching thought as he saw the all mighty Seifer Almasy fall so easily. Things were moving along quickly, they always did in the Garden and the figure was the one who knew this for a fact. Life is funny when you never see these things coming up from behind...
