Nightmares of Death

Chapter 2: The Bug

Everyone was silent. Then they started to follow Zell's gaze to the glass panel on the wall that overlooked the outside of the office. The waiting room. They weren't met by a friendly gaze, not at all.
"Ahhhh!!!!" A younger student shrieked and hid behind Quistis.
"Oh god... it this one of those green things you guys were talking about?" Rinoa said uneasily.
Squall nodded slowly, "Except...this one looks female..."
"It's Sara! It's the girl that green thing, I mean Marc, killed!" A boy yelled from the back of the room.
"But, how did it turn into...into this?" Irvine said quietly.
"Marc and Sara are couples! They were together since they were five!" A girl named Samantha added.
Selphie scratched her head. "This is all to confusing!"
"Look! The green thing, I mean Sara, is scratching at the glass!!!"
Everyone went to the back of the room.
"Everyone, if you have your weapons, get them ready!" Squall ordered.
Everyone stood ready. The green thing stopped, then simply starred at them all, then she opened up her hand and revealed a thing sitting on it. Everyone looked closer, and saw that it was a bug. A green bug, which was as fat as a beetle and looked liked one. The green thing smiled and said some words that the people on the other side of the wall couldn't here. The bug scuttled off her hand... and went right through the glass.
"Eee!!!!"
The room started screaming. The bug stopped moving, and the room stopped screaming and watched the bug. Then the bug started moving again.
"Hey... I think this bug stops when there's lots of noise... everyone, make some noise!!!" Nida cried.
Everyone screamed and yelled. The bug stopped. Squall casted Firaga on it, and the bug simply shattered.
"What the..." A girl walked over to where the bug had left it's remains. To her horror, the bug repieced itself and jumped onto the girl. "Ahhhh!!!! Get it off me!!!! Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
But it was to late. The bug disappeared, well, that's what everyone thought it did. Then the girl screamed and dropped onto the floor. Her skin seemed to be moving. Like something was moving inside.
"Oh god! The bug's in her body!" Rinoa screamed in terror. Then it stopped, and the girl started turning green.
"Everyone! We need to get out of here! She's going to turn into one of those green things! Run! Run! Run!"
Everyone ran as fast as they could, to the bridge.
"What do we do now? We can't stay up here forever!" Some student cried.
Squall nodded, "Nida, pilot the Garden to Trabia Garden as fast as you can. We'll signal for help there.."
"Sir! Somehow the Garden's not moving!"
The lights started flickering, and went out.
"Oh no! The power's down!" Selphie said in dismay.
The Garden shook a bit. "What was that?!"
"I don't know..."
Dr. Kadowaki silenced the group. "I was studying the body of the boy, Marc. After the SeeDs killed him, he returned into his normal body. I examined inside, and I found this." Dr. Kadowaki took a bag from her pocket and raised it up so everyone could see. Inside was one of those fat green beetles. "This looks like the bug we just saw..."
"Right..." Everyone said understanding.
Selphie jumped up. "Hey!!! I think I just figured out something!!! Someone said that Marc and Sara were couples right? As in they liked each other? Well, I mean loved?"
Some of Marc and Sara's friends nodded, "Sara is always telling me how she loves Marc!"
"Yeah!" Said another friend.
Selphie nodded, " What I think I've got figured out is once these green bug things enter someone's body, they'll go after the one they love!"
Quistis nodded, "That sounds very explainable. But we're not sure of this theory..."
"Does anyone know if that girl likes anybody? The girl who just got attacked down in the office?"
"...yeah! Clare likes a boy in her history class named Jim!"
Everyone looked towards Jim. He shivered slightly. "I...I guess I did kinda like Clare... but I never told her..."
"Then everyone, let's pay more attention on Jim, and try to keep him safe," Squall instructed.
Then a tapping noise made them all silent. It was coming from the other side of the hatch we're they had come up from. Squall motioned his fingers in a "Shhh!!" way. Everyone held their breaths and stayed silent.
