I Promise

Author Notes:

- ok ok ok ok ok. I know the last two chapters were short….but I'm gonna try to make this one long, so don't fret. ^_^

- now if I could remember what happened in the last chapter….

Quistis and Zell were waiting for Squall's arrival at Balamb Garden. Within minutes, the Ragnarok arrived, and Squall stepped out, with a grievous expression on his face, his head down.

Zell and Quistis ran up to him. "Squall," Quistis commenced. "We heard what happened. And we are going to do whatever it takes to find her, okay?"

Squall looked up. "We must take immediate action."

They nodded.

"Zell, I want you to form search parties and assigned them to every possible place you think Rinoa could be. Quistis, I want you to prepare the transportations. Please, hurry."

"We're on it!" Zell ran inside the Garden.

Squall stood there, still. "Rinoa…..I'll come find you. Don't leave me just yet."

Her eyes fluttered slowly as they open. She could only see darkness.

Rinoa looked around, trying to make out something. Squall, where are you? she thought. She placed her hand on her neck to feel the necklace of the two rings Squall had given her, only to find that it wasn't there. Damn! Where is it? Did I…lose it?

"It's about time you woke up," a voice said.

She stood up quickly. "Who's there?" Eager to know, she formed a little ball of flame in the palm of her hands, and waved it around to light up the darkness. She realized she was in a room, a bedroom to be exact, and it looked quite familiar. "Where am I?"

"…you're back in…Timber. Right her in your room of the Forest Owls."

"What?" She moved the flame around…nothing was there. She turned around, and moved the flame. Nothing. "Who's there? Come out!!" She turned back and positioned the flame in front of her; a face appeared right before her eyes. She screamed and the flame went out.

"Ragnarok do you copy? This is Zell. I think we've found something."

Squall ran to the radio transmitter. "What!!?? What is it?"

"It appears to be the necklace you gave her. We found in Deling City. I reckoned it broke off from the struggle she had."

"I'll be there in a few minutes. Wait there. Over."

He slammed his fist on the wall. "Dammit!!!!" Whoever's behind this, I swear they'll regret taking Rinoa away from me.

Rinoa stepped back, surprised. "S-Seifer?!!!"

A small ball of flame lit out of nowhere and lit up the whole dark room. Before her, stood Seifer. "Hello Rinny. Miss me?" He lunged at her and grabbed her by the hand.

"Get your hands off me!" she screamed. He gave her a kiss.

"Heh heh. Still the feisty little girl I've always remembered."

Rinoa began to cry. "Seifer, why are you doing this?"

"Why? I'll tell you why, Rinny."

"Don't call me that."

"Geez. This is a great attitude to show in front of your old boyf—"

"Shut up!"

"Tch. Fine, have it your way. It seems that little ol' Squall has stole something from me, and I want it back."

Rinoa was puzzled. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Can't you see Rinoa?! All my life, I've been wishing I could have you of my own. That you were my princess, and I'm your knight. But no, he stole your heart and left me for nothing."

"You're crazy!!" She tried to make a run for it, but Seifer was for more powerful than her. He pulled her back with great force it knocked her out.

"Sleep, for when you will wake up….I will be YOUR knight in shining armor."
