1 Fatal Obsession- Chapter 8 A Midnight Attack



Heh heh heh is all I have to say.



Irvine walked slowly to his room, to tired and to busy thinking to walk fast. ' Why did she scream out leave me alone. I thought something was bothering her and that just confirms my suspicions.' He blinked his eyes and looked right into the side of the wall, and he stopped short. " Man, I need to start paying attention, going to smash my face in if I am not careful." Shaking his head, he opened his door, then realized it was unlocked. He stopped in the doorway, shutting it behind him. " Anyone here?" Irvine took his hat off and set it on the table, then began to remove his coat, until a tremendous force brought him down to the ground. " Ahhhh! Crap, who is it?!" The last thing he remembered was the painful blow to the back of his head.

" Waking up now? Took you long enough." Irvine opened his eyes to completely darkness, trying to make out the owner of the voice. " Who are you, and where are you?" A laugh mocked him. " Right here infront of you." Obviously a man's voice, he was right in Irvine's face, though Irvine could still not see him. Then, the only thing he did see was gray, big gray lifeless eyes on the same level with his own. Irvine pulled his head away some. " I want something you have Irvine. Ask no questions. You shall get no answers. I want her, the rain. You know of whom I speak. Now wether you give her to me or not, I will have her. For my own. All you people want to do is bring her harm, harm her delicate features. She's like the cold that keeps the ice from melting. I am the ice." Irvine could feel breathing on his face, and it bothered him severely. " You won't have her. Over my dead body." Another laugh sounded. " That could be arranged you know. But not now, the time is still not right. I know one thing it is right for though, time for you to say goodnight." Irvine felt the same sharp pains in the back of his head, and blacked out once again.

An alarm was going off, and Irvine realized it was his clock. He slammed his fist over it, smashed it into little pieces. Then he sat up and grabbed the back of his head. Surprised, he had no pain or even a mark. " Maybe it was a dream…no it was to real to be a dream…." Irvine got out of bed, quickly showered and dressed, then remembers he said he would meet Quistis in the cafeteria. Shooting out of his room, he made sure to lock the door, and began his journey to find food and see Quistis.

Once in the cafeteria, he found Quistis sitting at a table, Eliska right beside her. " Hello ladies." Irvine tilted his hat in their direction and took a seat beside Quistis. " Good morning Irvine. Eliska was just telling me a little about the mission." Quistis looked much paler than usual this morning. He knew something was bothering her, he just had to figure out when to talk about it. " Yes, I was. I will start over since you are here." Irvine just nodded for her to begin. " Well, we will be leaving Garden at 2200 hours, the Headmaster would like us to be covered in darkness. From there, we will set up a camp along the Millson River. The city of Landor is only 10 miles east of that. Landor is where the group is based. They have taken hostage most of the city, it is our job to get it back, and terminate any soldiers in our way." Irvine cocked a smile. " Sounds simple enough to me." Eliska stood up and saluted them. " I must be off, other SeeD's to brief you know? Goodday." She walked off to another table and was invited to sit down. Quistis looked at Irvine, noticing slight bags under his eyes. " Not to much sleep last night?" He shook his head no. " Irvine, I dreamt about you last night. Except it was not a good one." Irvine's eyes widened at the mention of him in her dreams and it not being good. ""What was it about?" She took a sip of her coffee. " Some man came into your room, and knocked you out using some kind of mind force. Then you were in a dark room, and he threatened you to give him some girl. I have no idea who he was talking about. After that, you woke up in your bed. I'm not sure why I dreamt that." She shrugged it off slightly and glanced down at the papers in front of her. Quistis should have paid more attention, for a look of pure shock, fear, and confusion flashed across Irvine's face.



HA! I want to end it right there, good beginning for the next chapter if you ask me. So, what did you think of the way I took the story? Instead of making the guy go to her room or something! Review, and thanks Vick330…I hope I got the name right, for reviewing like every chapter. It makes me happy!!!!! (
