Thanks for you guys who reviewed, I REALLY appreciate reviews, the more I get, the faster these chapters will pop up.
Sorry, but from my current plans (all in my head, so they could change any time) Siefer is not going to be less of a bastard, lol, but we'll see. Any suggestions you may have just leave them in the review box, and without further adieu, Unchallenged love.
His plan is to what!?
*****************
Squall walked to the train station, after he stopped briefly at the car dealer shop to tell them he'd pick up the car a little later.
"So sir, you're going to Galabadia?" The ticket woman was a young blond, with way to much make up on.
"Yes, two way ticket please." Squall fumbled around in his pocket for a moment, and then placed the required money on the counter.
"Here you go sir, have a nice day." The girl gave him a big smile, and then turned to the next customer.
Squall thanked the girl, and continued onto the train. The first thing he did was unlock the See-D private room, and laid down on the bed, suddenly very tired, and just wanting a little peace from the troubles he's having now.
*All passengers, we are approaching our destination, we will arrive in 5 minutes, please be prepared to get off. *
Squall woke up with a start, drenched in sweat, looking around fiercely, wondering why he didn't recognize his surroundings. I'm on a train? It all came back to him, and he fell back down onto the bed. God, that dream terrified me, and the part that scares me the most…is if she's gone, I might actually do that…I might actually kill myself.
Squall walked out into the streets of Galabadia, looking around intently.
It's been a while since I've been here. Nothing much has changed. Well that's enough sites seeing, time to get on with why I came here.
Squall headed off down the street, catching a cab to Caraways mansion. "Thank you, you have a good day sir." Squall just nodded his head to the driver, and hoped out, and glanced at the mansion. Place sure is huge. Squall thought walking up to the place, squall reached out to open the door, but thought silently. Yeah, like a general in Galabadias army, is going to have his door unlocked. Squall reached up and started to knock, and was greatly surprised, when the door opened a crack when he touched it. What the hell? This can't be good. Squall's See-D training took over, and he instantly pulled out his gun blade, and snuck inside as stealthily as possible. What he found inside made him sick; the whole place was torn apart, paintings slashed, vases, and glasses smashed on the floor, and tables upturned. He kept going, sneaking up the stairs, ready for anything, and he leaned back against the wall when he saw a single light on up ahead. What the hell is going on? Squall snuck up to the door, and opened it the slightest crack so he could peer inside, what he saw horrified him.
There in a chair was Caraway, his face was slashed, and fresh blood running down over already dried blood from previous beatings, his arms were tied behind his back, and his legs were tied to the chair he was in. He had his head slumped over, breathing heavily.
He must have just been beaten. Squall thought. Then that means there still here. Squall inched the door open, just a bit more, to see if he could see the attackers anywhere in the room, he didn't see anyone, and he silently slipped inside.
He came up behind Caraway, and placed his hand on his shoulder, Caraway practically jumped out of his skin at the touch, and violently tried to struggle out of the chair.
"Caraway, stop moving, I'm here to help you…It's Squall." Squall slashed the ropes tying his feet to the chair, and Caraway sprung up out of the chair and backed his way to a wall.
"S-Squall?" He stuttered, almost as if he couldn't believe who he was looking at.
"Oh thank the gods Squall, I thought they were going to beat me to death before someone came."
Squall looked at the man, and if his heart wasn't filled with anger, and revenge, he might have felt some pity. "General, who has done this to you, and do you know where Rinoa is?"
Caraway got a horrified look on his face. "Th-they came for me last week, around 7 or 8 days ago, a tall man strong man in a cut off black vest, and baggy black pants, and a women dressed in blue. They said something about doing it for their leader, and beat me, I awoke tied to that chair, they give me water and bread ounce a day, just to make me live longer, but they also beat me as well, so I don't gain too much strength…and because they find it hilarious that I can't do anything about it, even though I'm a general of a nation. Caraway looked through Squall, fear evident on his face.
Squall thought for a moment. Big strong man; women dressed in blue? Has to be Fujin, and Rajin. There the only ones that would help Siefer do something like this.
"General." Caraway jerked his head back to Squall, the look of fear never vanishing form his face.
"General, do you know what happened to Rinoa, do you know where they took her?"
The general started to sob, leaning against the wall, tears pouring down his face.
"I-I saw her, it was a while ago, that, that bastard Siefer, brought her here, and showed her to me, said something like 'if that chicken shit commander comes here, you know what to do' to the two holding me down, then he kicked me in the heading, thinking he knocked me out, but I held on to consciousness barely, I had to find out what they were doing with Rinoa. And I did, they…" He started to shake, the horror of what is happening to his daughter right now, overcoming him, fear for his daughter, and hate for those that took her overcoming him.
"What?" Squall was practically going insane, he had to know; he had to know. "Where did they take her? What are they doing to her? Tell me." Squall was getting eccentric, as he waited for the man to collect himself, and tell him what he needed to know.
Caraway straightened up, visibly torn, with extreme anxiety written all over his face. "They're taking her to, to sorceresses memorial, I heard Siefer say she was to be sa-sa-sacrificed." Caraway broke down again, and started to sob as he leaned against the wall, bringing his hands up to hide his face.
"Sacrificed!?" Squall jumped towards him, but remembered he wasn't the enemy. Dear god, sacrificed, I have to get to her now! "I have to leave now Caraway, if you want to see your daughter alive again, don't hinder me."
Caraway looked up and nodded once, then slumped against the floor.
Squall turned away, and started to walk out of the room. Wait a minute, he was tied, he was bleeding, and he was freshly beaten! That means…
Squall turned and looked back at Caraway, determined to ask him what was going on, but when he turned he saw Caraway pointing behind squall with a terrified look on his face. Squall turned around back to the doorway, and almost in slow motion he saw the staff come in and crash into his stomach. Squall staggered back against the wall, clutching his stomach, in pain. Squall glanced up at his attacker and saw non other than Rajin, standing in the doorway with a big smirk on his face, calmly leaning against his staff.
"Hello Squall, It's been a while." Rajin stood up straight and balanced the staff between his hands, slowly walking towards squall.
"And even though I'd love to chat with yaw Squall, I have a direct order from Siefer, and I can't go against his order, he is the leader of our posse."
This bastard helped take Rinoa, this piece of shit is responsible for her father's pain; I'll make him pay. Squall leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. If I can just get him to talk first. "Rajin! What have you done with Rinoa?"
Rajin gave a short chuckle. "Sorry Squall, orders are to terminate you if you happen to come here, and you're here, so I'm going to get to it."
Rajin lifted the staff above his head, ready to crush Squall's head in.
Big oaf never could fight right. Squall thought, Squall lunged at Rajin and tackled him in the abdomen, even though Rajin was a much larger man; he went barreling backwards, crashing into the wall. Squall calmly brushed some dust off of his shoulder, and straightened up as he walked towards Rajin, slowly reaching down to his side, and pulling out his gun blade, it made a metal on metal sound as he brought it out, and held it calmly at his side.
"I let you live the last time I fought you Rajin, but this time you've gone to far, tell me what I want to know, or I'll kill you." Squall brought the gun blade up, and tapped it between his hands, "now, what are you planning on doing to Rinoa? Speak up now!"
Rajin gave a ragged laugh, "no can do squall, can't go against my posse." He lunged up, holding the staff between his hands, he charging squall with the staff as a battering ram.
"Then DIE!" Squall brought the gun blade up in an arch from the ground up, cleanly slicing the extended staff in half. And as Rajin brought the two pieces to his face and stared at them in puzzlement, Squall did a twist, bringing the blade with him in a circular motion, he brought the blade around and in one fluid slice he cut Rajin in half, instantly killing him.
Squall straightened back up, looking down at his victim without any sign of remorse. You shouldn't have messed with Rinoa Rajin; you shouldn't have messed with Rinoa.
"I trust it that he was the only one here, right Caraway?"
Caraway looked up from where he had been retching up his guts. "Y-yes he was the only one here."
Squall never taking his hatred filled gaze from Rajin calmly responded, "then I'm going, I trust you can clean up this mess. I have to find Rinoa, before it's too late." With that said, he calmly kneeled down, wiped his blade off of Rajin's corpse, sheathed it, and walked out of the room, determined not to let up on his search for a minute.
