Quistis reached the door to her classroom, and waited momentarily. It slid open to reveal silence and emptiness. "Oh good, at least no one is here." She walked over to her desk, and pulled open the top left hand drawer. Retrieving a few papers, she nodded in satisfaction and turned away. ' Hmm, I have to meet Selphie in about 20 minutes, I can get a little done up here.' She sat down in the chair, spread the papers across the desk top, and began to skim through them. The faint sound of footsteps caught her attention. Her eyes darted all around the room, then back to the papers.
"Heh heh heh, Quistis your mine, only mine, always mine…." A silently screaming voice rang in her ear. She jerked her head up from the desk, and looked around frantically for a source to the voice. "Is someone there?" Cold chills surged violently through her body, causing her to fall from her chair to the floor. " Wha-" Her voice would no longer come to her, no matter how much she tried.
"Just listen to me Quistis, I can guide you. Come to me, with me, be my forever." The only thing that went through her mind was blackness, devoid of even that sometimes. "Follow my voice… my forever, need me." She felt herself walking, heading towards a person, even though she could not see them, they were there.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't hurt you, don't think that. I am here to save you from everyone, from yourself." Stopping, she turned around. Ice blue met lifeless gray, and in that instant, her mind churned for knowledge, her heart ached. She felt his emotions, like a freight train. That was the last image in her mind. Haunting, gray lifeless eyes. Then she came pounding back into reality.
"Oh Hyne, my head hurts. What happened?" Quistis looked around cautiously. She was still in the classroom, in the floor next to her chair. The papers from her desk were scattered around her feet. Pausing only for a moment, she jumped from the floor her head still spinning slightly, and began her pursuit to the Quad.
Selphie paced back and forth in the quad, glancing up every three or four seconds to see if Quistis was coming. "Selphie!" Quistis came practically flying, around the corner. Her skin was paler than normal. "Quistis, is something wrong? You look horrible!" When they reached each other, Quistis was shaking, and cold. "Selph, can we go to my dorm and talk. Please?" Selphie only nodded and followed her friend to the dorms.
That night, lying in bed, the day's events raged in Quistis' mind. Gray eyes, full of some undying force, penetrating her every defense. She had told Selphie everything. This only made her worry even more for Quistis. Only being able to wonder about the mere encounter that clouded her mind, her heart, was rocking everything in a jagged motion. Sometimes, she thought she was seeing those eyes all around her, ripping her apart to the very soul. Rolling over towards the window, she looked outside. " No moon…." For a split second, a faint trace of the eyes floated across the black sky. Minutes, maybe hours later, Quistis lulled into a sleep tormented by a of dull gray orbs shrouded her in fear.
