1 Fatal Obsession- Chapter 7 Landor Garden
Hmm, thanks so much you guys for your reviews! Knowing someone is reading this, if 50% of why I keep writing it, the other half is because I want to!! Here's another chapter for your enjoyment and my own!! Since I have been in a song mood, there is part of a song in here too. Everlong by Foo Fighters.
Landor Garden, was small, about a fourth of the size smaller than Balamb Garden. Quistis much enjoyed that. She and Irvine were currently lounging in a lobby outside of the Training Center. A few Balamb students were there, but most were in the dorm rooms asleep, training, or eating. " Wow, the people sure are friendly around here. I wish Balamb was more like this." Quistis let her eyes stray to the faces of people, which were ever smiling. Irvine looked at her while she watched everyone, admiring the way her eyes looked when the light went into them. ' Almost like clear pools of falling rain.' He thought to himself. " Well, you could always transfer here, ya know?" She looked at him, and smiled. " I would, but then you'd get out of hand, and they'd have to call force in. Sometimes I feel like the glue that holds that place together." She shook the thoughts from her head. " Well, sometimes I think yuh are too." A laugh came from Irvine's lips. As if on some un-said or unmentioned cue, Giovan walked up. " Instructor, Kinneas." He sent a disdainful look in Irvine's direction. " I am very much excited to be working with you on this Field Exam. Almost honored. Just let me know if there is anything you need to be done. Until then, I will be in my dorm rooms." He smiled slightly, as Quistis nodded her head, her straight face never breaking. " He really creeps me out." Irvine noticed that her face went pale when Giovan came around. " I know what you mean Quisty, something about him is just not right." He saw Quistis yawn deeply, and lean her head against the back of the couch like thing they were on, close her eyes, and breath very softly as if she were drifting into sleep. Looking at her just made his heart yearn, and he caught himself singing to her, but softly enough so she couldn't hear it. " Breathe out, so I can breath you in, hold you in. And now, I know you've always been out of your head, out of my head I sang. And I wonder, when I sing along with you, if anything could ever feel this real forever. If anything could ever be this good again." He slowly trailed off, humming the song to himself now, just sitting there mesmerized by her. Feet scuffles broke his thought, as he saw a few students walk into the training center. He looked at her again. " Quistis, are you awake?" She didn't move or say anything. So Irvine decided to carry her to her room, and that's exactly what he did.
She ran through an endless black. Looking down at herself, she wore nothing, not even a body. Quistis was cloaked in her soul, running down a dark path. A voice, light and soothing, yet deep, penetrating the core, entered her mind. It sang a slow song, which made her run ever faster. She longed to find the owner. " Almost there…" she thought aloud. In the same moment the last syllable escaped her lips, the eyes returned, much more saddened than before. " Quistis, why do you run?" She stopped dead in her tracks, any sound she heard vanished, and her breathing quickened. " They took you away. I need you more than they do. Come to me." Her eyes widened, as the gray ones faded out to reveal a completely shadowed body, walking towards her, holding out a darkened hand. " Come with me." Quistis turned around sharply and ran towards the other direction, the further she got from the man, the safer she felt. She screamed out as the hand grabbed her heart and tightened its grip. " I will not come with you, leave me alone!" Quistis sat violently up in bed, smacking her face right into Irvine's. He fell over into the floor, holding his forehead moaning some. " Quistis are you okay?" She was in a cold sweat, and not even completely under the covers. " Irvine, I'm sorry. Are you alright?" He got up, still rubbing his head some. " I'll be okay. What happened? You screamed something about leaving you alone before I even got you under the blankets. I was just bringing you back because you fell asleep on the bench." Quistis ran her hand across her face, groaning. " Oh, it was just a bad dream. I am really sorry about your head. Thank you for bringing me back." She blushed slightly, and thanked Hyne that is was dark in the room so he could not see it. " It's alright. I will be going back to my room now. G'night Quisty. See you bright and early tomorrow morning!" He walked out of the room as she bid him goodnight. Once he left, she laid back down looking out the window at the moon. " I just wish I knew what the dreams meant."
A shadowed figure gazed into her room. It smiled slyly, seeing the other figure leave. " All mine Quistis dear. Forever." Slipping off into the night, the voice left a faint laugh, that being the only trace of it being there.
Hmm, now how about that? This could go a many ways from here. I just have to decide which way to take. Perhaps the one you least expect!! Review?!
