Arrow Through My Heart
*************
Squall led the SeeDs into Shlane Garden. He heard many students whispering to each other, staring at them wherever they went. Everyone marched forward choking back their tears and trying to look brave. They waited in front of the garden gates. Shlane SeeDs checked them for unnecessary weapons and let them pass. They arrived in a grand room decorated with diamonds. Squall wondered how this garden wasn't very big, but was filled with diamonds and other precious jewelries. In the center of the edge of the room, there sat a woman with long black hair, and a white one-piece skirt that had no straps. She looked almost like Matron, but older. She smiled warmly.
"Hello, my children. I see you are from my younger sister, Matron. I am Makenzie. Welcome to Shlane Garden!"
As she finished the sentence, a bright fireworks flew up, and out of nowhere, people began to dance. Squall sighed. A dance.. Just like how he met with Rinoa for the first time.
"Time to begin the healing.."
Squall thought aloud.
"..Excuse me?"
A girl with long raven hair looked up at him with hazel eyes curiously.
"..Nothing."
"Seems like you have a problem."
"..Whatever"
"You sure? It helps to share your problems with others you know. Lets say.. We should go over this over a dance. Come on."
Squall raised his brow, but was dragged by her.
"I'm Tiffany Rokehat. You? You don't look like from Shlane Garden to me."
"I'm from Balamb Garden. The leader of it. My name is Squall Leonhart."
"Oh! You're the people we asked help for!"
Tiffany's hazel eyes shined with hope. Squall hated that when people looked at him with those eyes.. especially girls. That weakened his heart, and it somewhat made him feel uncomfortable.
*************
After the long dance, Squall wondered if this garden was under sorceress's attack, how it could have been partying. He walked up to Makenzie's room, and knocked.
"...Please come in."
A calm woman voice answered. Squall gently pushed the door and walked in. Makenzie was brushing her long hair. He noticed bunch of hairs were falling off along the brush. She looked at him with sad eyes. Squall hesistated, but asked what he wanted to know.
" If this garden was under a powerful..-even more powerful than Ultemicia- sorceress, then why would you open a grand party instead of preparing? I don't understand."
Makenzie's face was expressionless. She answered mechanically somewhat.
"Sorceress comes back every 5 days. We open a grand party for her a day before. She'd be coming now. Prepare."
Squall noticed her tone was very annoyed. Then he looked into her eyes and found that it didn't look like an alive person. Suddenly, her eyes lighted up.
"...Help.. Under control... Sorceress.. another.. friend.. Sister!!.. Evil! Sister!"
She repeated the world sister over and over again. Squall stepped back. She made a grab for his legs. He quickly jumped back. He ran out of the room and into the room he was assigned to without pausing. It was freaky how she acted. Almost as she was in.. a spell. He thought to himself carefully what she had said.
"Help..hm.. Under control of Sorceress?"
Squall guessed Makenzie must be under the Sorceress's spell. Then what about another friend, and the word..Sister? Perhaps.. Sorceress's another friend was.. Makenzie's sister? Then it'd be... Matron. Matron? Still evil? He couldn't believe what he was thinking. He decided to go to sleep and think about them tomorrow. He wrote down his possible ideas in a note, and drifted off. Here's how the note looks like.
_______________________________
Possiblities:
1)Makenzie is crazy
2)Makenzie is under a sorceress spell
3)Makenzie is under Matron's spell
4)Matron is communicating with the new sorceress
5)Matron is the sorceress
6)The new powerful sorceress is the person who was the nearest when Ultimecia died and passed out the power.

He had another weird dream. Rinoa was in the place they promised to meet there. She turned around and smiled. Then her face shifted into Matron's. Matron was Edea again. She gnarled and tried to attack him. No one came to rescue him. He ran until he was out of breathe. Then he saw someone walking gently toward him. He guessed it was the sorceress. It was Tiffany he met. She looked at Squall. He cried out for help. She reached her hand out reluctantly when Makenzie appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Tiffany. Tiffany was pulled away silently wihtout resistance. He watched them as they walked more far away.. and when he was tore apart by the sorceress.
He woke up with a start again. He was pickled in sweat. Why did he always have nightmares? Maybe he was thinking too much. Here I go again thinking again... I really need to stop thinking for awhile. Ugh.. He was laying down in the room. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a shadow moving. Hallucination. He shook his head. The shadow seemed to pause. He carefully got up and stared at the shadow. It seemed to be trembling. He slowly got out of the bed and walked to it. He could make out the line of a short brunette girl... hanging on a rope around her neck. Selphie!? He was shocked. When he was about to let out a scream, the light came on with few here and there "Suprise!!"s. He looked around and blinked. Zell and Irvine was laughing crazily. Selphie took the rope off her neck and giggled
"Teehee.. Gotcha, Mr.SeriousLeader! You should loosen off!"
Squall sighed in relief. He returned to his cold stiff state.
"...Get out."
He let two words escape from his gritted teeth.
"OUT!"
Everyone stared at him in shock. One by one they slowly exited through the door. Selphie was the last one to go out. She turned off the light and murmured softly.
"..sorry.. we just thought..never mind."
When the door closed, he sighed again and went back to his bed. His nightmare started all over again, this time, images of Selphie hanging her neck on the rope...
