"Squall, are you positive it won't come and possess me?" Rinoa asked him, her eyes wide
as she prepared to go to sleep that night. The thought of the GF still roaming around
made her frightened.
"I'm sure. You aren't the original host. That's all that it can go to." Squall said, from his
bed. He lay with his hands tucked behind his head and his eyes closed.
Listening to Rinoa and her fears and having to comfort her.
It was worth it, Squall smiled to himself.
"Can…can I have some of that potion, Squall? I'm still afraid…that Rhapha will come."
Squall smiled to himself again and rolled out of his bed. Reaching for his jacket, he
pulled out the small vial. Staring at the violet bottle, he thought it over.
Gently twisting the cap off of the bottle, he took the cap and poured a measure of the
liquid into a glass next his bed. Handing it to Rinoa, with the bottle in the one hand, he
turned when he heard a hissing all of a sudden.
Rinoa clutched the glass in her hand, the liberal measure of the amber liquid sloshing in
the glass.
Squall's eyes searched the room, looking for the source of the hissing sound and found
nothing to alleviate him of his fears. As he turned his hand hit the wall and the bottle, the
precious bottle, filled with Tari's only hope, went flying.
There was a crash and violet colored splinters flew everywhere. The liquid splashed onto
the floor, completely destroying any chance for future use.
"Squall…" Rinoa completely forgot about the glass in her hand.
"I…didn't…mean…" Squall's eyes were wide with alarm. "Tari…"
"She won't have a chance without that potion!" Rinoa looked on the verge of crying.
"Wait! Rinoa, the glass!" Squall reached for the glass in her hand. Rinoa let go of it
before he had a grip on it.
For a second time, the sound of glass was heard crashing to the floor.

Zell sat straight up in his bed. Something was wrong. Looking around, his eyes adjusting
to the dark, he saw Tari standing in the middle of their makeshift room.
"Tari!" Zell hissed, throwing the blankets off of his bed and snapping on a light.
"Zell…something awful has happened!" Tari's face was pale.
"What?" Zell came up next to her, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I don't know!" Tari looked up at him with scared eyes. Zell felt, for a split second, what
had woken her up.
"You're right. But we can't leave, or open the door, without the others here. You know
that." Zell said, gently moving his hand from her shoulder to the soft duo colored hair and
began to stroke it awkwardly, trying to sooth her.
"I can't…" Tari started to say, biting her bottom lip. Then she shook her head and walked
back to her bed, on her side of the parition, and silently crawled into it, leaving Zell
standing alone.
Sighing, he also headed back to bed.
.oO~*-*~Oo.
Matron stepped off of the small plane at the edge of the Balamb Garden Front Gates. She
shivered.
There was a sense of foreboding in the air.
.oO~*-*~Oo.
A/N:
Sorry, it's short. I had to make it so short so you could appreciate the next
chapter…which is kinda short too but not so short but winding down to an end. Later, and
thanks for all the emails I've gotten! I am so glad you like this but don't kill me for the
short chapter!
