Arrow Through My Heart

Now there's a hidden evil plot in the story. Also there's an event where Cid is about to die and Matron is standing next to him before Squall came. This event will be discussed more later in the story. I'm just posting it here cuz.. I might forget.. ^-^()

***************

In the dance room filled with tears and sorrow, Squall couldn't take it anymore. He ran out to his dormitory. half way there, he decided to go to Train center to ease his pain and sorrow. He walked into the training center and heard a scream. He ran until he found the source. A hooded figure that looked like a woman was frozen in horror with face to face with a monster. It looks so twisted, Squall thought. He couldn't see the woman's face since her back was facing Squall, but he imagined her face would be pale and frozen since that's what his were. The monster's body was as big as T-Rex. It's head WAS T-rex. But the thing was, that it's body was something that looked as if someone has gathered part of the monsters and stitched it together. One of it's arm was tentacle of grat's. It's other arm was a wing. It's body was a giant tail itself that looked a lot like... Rinoa upside down somehow. This made him hesistate to attack, but another piercing scream of the hooded woman forced him to attack. He only attacked it's face with horns of ifrit. He didn't dare summoning GF since it would hurt it's whole body including.. Rinoa. While he slashed his gunblade, the hooded figure stepped back, and her hood fell, revealing her face. Squall couldn't pay attention to her face but she reminded him of Matron. But Matron was with Cid right now, he thought. Just another woman who looked like her. She ran off with her long hair flowing behind her. Then immediately the monster stopped attacking. Squall expected it to follow the woman, but it just stopped. Then it let out a thick smoke from it's hideous mouth. Squall coughed and looked for the monster. It was gone. Damn, he scolded himself. He let a cheap trick get to him. He sighed and walked back to his dormitory, not letting his guard down in case the monster jumped out and attacked his back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was there. Her back against him. He opened his mouth but he couldn't remember her name. If he loved her so much, why couldn't he remember her name? Then a dog bark. She slowly turned around tossing her glossy black hair. Then her face.. it became the mixed monster he encountered before. He backed out ready to attack. Then once again it turned to the hooded figure. She came closer and closer until he could hear her silent breathing. When she took off her hood, he realized it was Quistis. She slowly opened her mouth and whispered.

"Erase..the memories... Heal your wounds.. Find someone to take out the arrow in your heart..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He woke up. He was sweating and breathing heavily. He slowly raised his upper body and raised himself to sitting position. He thought about the dream again. Rinoa was haunting him even in his dreams. What was Quistis talking about? Erase the memories...? Find someone to take out the arrow in my heart? He slowly lifted his right hand and touched his heart. It was beating... or was it? He couldn't tell. He couldn't tell anything anymore. Exhausted with dream and thoughts pouring into him, he fell back down to his bed. He lay there in bed drifting to his sleep.. dreaming the same thing again and again... and again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He finally was rescued from his nightmares when his room's door burst open. Zell was wearing a black tuxido awkwardly. He shook Squall violently because he thought Squall was still sleeping.

"What the hell! Get off me! I'm awake for crying out loud!"

"You SHOULD be crying out loud!"

Zell has lost his usual perkiness but his hyper was still inside him. He shook Squall again until Squall deliberately punched him in his stomache. Then he realized that Cid was dead and Rinoa was gone. Another nightmare was waiting for him even though he was awake. He calmed his shaken voice.

"Get out."

"What!? You have to go to the funeral right now! Everyone's waiting for you!"

Squall hit his forehead for Zell's stupidity.

"I'm gonna get dressed! Get out, NOW!"

Zell backed up.

"Alright alright.. Geez.. "

Zell quickly left the room, shutting the door with loud bang. Squall sighed and wore a black tuxido he used to wear only in formal occasions. He didn't want to go where everyone was eaiting for him. It was too much for him to handle. He slowly walked, for what seemed like about thousand years. The way to the dance ball which was now a funeral room, seemed longer than usual. About million times longer. He reached out his hand for the door knob, and rested his hand on it. His hand lingered on the knob, hesistating to turn it and opening the door. But when he did, thousand pairs of eyes looked at him, filled with sadness and tears, focusing on him to say something. Something dramatic perhaps to decorate Cid's funeral grandly. Everyone's face filled with hope form Squall was just too much. Tear-filled eyes... Rinoa's eyes...
