The Ragnarok flew over Deling City and landed. Squall emerged from inside the Ragnarok and ran a fast as he could to the scene where Rinoa was taken.

Zell paced back and forth. "Man, I hope Rinoa's okay." He looked up and saw Squall running toward him. "Squall!! Finally!!"

"Where is it?" he declared abruptly. Zell handed him the necklace. "Thank you Zell."

"Where did you find it?" he questioned.

Zell hesitated. "Well, the search party found it in an alley. I think Rinoa was taken through there. We searched high and low through the alley, but no sign of anything except for the necklace."

Squall sighed. "What about the other search parties?!"

Squall's voice was filled with fury, it made Zell jump back. "They're still searching, Squall. It could take days, even weeks to search the cities."

Squall was furious. "Dammit!!" he punched a brick wall. He turned to Zell, which he noticed was squatting in a corner covering his face. "…Zell. I-I'm sorry. I just can't think that Rinoa is gone."

Zell looked up. "Hey, I understand." He stood up. He gave a little smile and put his hand his Squall's shoulder. "We're gonna find her no matter what, even if it takes us forever."

"…ugh." Rinoa woke up to find she had a throbbing headache. She scanned the room to see if Seifer was anywhere. "..Seifer?" she called, making sure he's not in the room. No answer. Yes!! Now I can make a run for it.

She stood up and quietly tiptoed to the door. She tried to open it, but couldn't. She used Firaga on it, but it wouldn't work.

"Dammit!!" She looked around and saw a window. She tried to open it, but it was locked, plus metal bars were built outside to prevent escape. "Damn. Am I a prisoner here??" She slumped down in a corner and began to cry. "Squall…please come help me," she dozed off to sleep.

It was not long till heavy footsteps woke Rinoa up. Seifer. She thought. The door unlocked and Seifer walked in. He smirked.

"Hello, my angel," he greeted deviously. Rinoa looked up at him and made a face. "Uh oh!! Somebody's having a bad day. Heh-heh," he chuckled. Furious, Rinoa charged at him with all her might. "Arrgghh!" she screamed. Seifer caught her with his two hands, knowing she was no match for him.

"Heh-heh. Now little lady, don't be a bad girl," he teased. He pulled her close and kissed her. Rinoa forced herself to break free from it. Seifer let her go and she landed on the bed. He smirked and walked to the other side of the room and reached for his gunblade. Rinoa flinched.

"It's my time to get back what's mine, angel. Your little Squall will not be your knight anymore." He headed for the door.

"NOOOO!" she ran up and jumped on him, throwing punches. Seifer turned around and tried to get her off, and his gunblade grazed Rinoa's face. She fell off, and held her hand to her face, and felt the blood.

"Sigh. My little angel. Don't do that again." He smirked and walked out, locking the door behind him.

Rinoa sobbed. "…Squall!!!" She ran into the bathroom and washed the blood off her face, and tried her best to stop the small bleeding. She used Curaga and it successfully healed the scratch.

Lying on his bed, Squall thought of Rinoa. He thought of the first time they met at the SeeD graduation ball, how she motioned him for one dance. She looked beautiful as ever, and he thought they looked splendid while they were waltzing on the dance floor.

Squall felt drops of tears drip down his face. He ran his hand through his hair. "Rinoa….I'll come find you. Just hang on." He drifted off to sleep., until he heard a noise at the door. Ignoring it, he went back to sleep.

"…..S-Squall….help….!"a voice pleaded.

Squall's eyes shot open.
