Chapter 3 Sorrow and Sin
Quistis stormed into the Inn as Colt when up to ground level. She burst into the guy's room Irvine was standing pouring some water into a clear plastic bag, Selphie was trying to calm down Paige, and Zell sat nursing his head wound. He was sitting on a bed the Ergize removed. His ripped T- shirt pulled off and flung aside. Some blood had dried on his face and neck the cut was still bleeding. Irvine walked over to Selphie with the bag in hand.
"Selphie can you freeze this for me" he asked.
"Sure" cast blizzard inside the bag.It froze the water making a home made Ice pack. Irvine passed it to and a wet flannel to Zell. Who used it wipe the blood from his face and the bit that spilled on to his chest.
"What the HELL did you do that for" Quistis said scolding.
"Sorry Quisty…" Zell never finished the sentence. He was cut off by Quistis she took up what she referred to as 'Don't you dare mess with me' tone.
"Zell Dincht did you even listen to what Colt had to say or ask Paige why she was upset. Did you to speak to Colt to find out if he was at fault." Zell's head drooped
"Sorry Quistis." He said meekly
"It's not me you should be apologising to." She retorted. Selphie saw that Zell's fore head was still bleeding got up and placed her middle finger on the wound. She concentrated drawing on her own power and that of her G.F. Siren. Selphie summoned the spell Full Cure a blue light flashed and her hand glowed as the spell worked its magic sealing the wound and causing any trace of it to disappear.
"There you go" she said happily her eternal optimism shinning through.
"Thanks" Zell said quietly.
"Now there's no need to tell Squall about this he'd only get mad." Quistis said.
"Tell me about what." Squall's voice came from behind her.
"Nothing." Quistis said turning around smiling."
"Really." He asked
"Really."
"Nothing at all you want to tell me" he asked again.
"nothing at all."
"Okay, Okay you win I'll drop it." Squall said giving up knowing he wasn't going to win.
"Hey Paige have you been crying." Rinoa said appearing beside Squall and stepping over to the girl seated on the bed and plopping down beside her.
"Yes" she confessed. "I got upset because we were talking about our first mission's." Paige paused and took a deep breath. "That's a bit of a touchy subject for me. The mission was the first official archaeological expedition to the D.S.R.C (Deep sea research center). As you probably know the mission ended in disaster only three of us survived. I was picked to lead because of my field experience at the Garden clash. It seemed okay till we reached the Deep sea deposit when we saw a tall dark man he saw us as well but then ran off. We chased after him but he got away. A few moments' later a Dragon burst though the floor followed by a demonic looking beast. They looked like they could be fighting but them they turned on us. I was paralysed in fear of the Dragon. A researcher called Joe just managed to pull me away in time or I'd be dead right now." Paige had been crying lightly till now. Suddenly she burst into a flood of tears.
"It's my fault they died I should have done something." She whimpered. Selphie motioned for the three guys to leave the room without Paige seeing. Squall made up some crummy excuse and left with Zell and Irvine in toe. Quistis said she would get some food for them and left. Selphie put her arm round Paige's shoulders and comforted her.
"There, There It's not your fault." She said soothingly "we've all fought dragons before and only survived by the skin of our teeth. Just ask Zell to show you his claw scar's." she grinned happily
"I…I... suppose so." Paige said meekly "would you mind if I went to sleep now." She asked Rinoa with whom she was sharing a room.
"No of course not I was gonna go to bed soon anyway. Might as well turn in now." Rinoa said as she yawned They said their goodbye to Selphie and both changed into their nightclothes, laid down and went to sleep. A few hours' later Rinoa heard Paige crying and rolling about in her bed. She got up a crept into the next room Rinoa saw that Paige was tossing left and right. Rinoa placed her hand on the girls fore head and a white aura stared to grow from her. In a enthral voice Rinoa said
"Shh, shh my child sleep well I will remove the bad dream's." Rinoa had let her sorceress instinct's take over to calm the sleeping girl. Rinoa felt completely drained from the experience she barely made it to her bed before passing out
