iFinal Fantasy VIII... Afterwards/i: Chapter Three: iNightmares/i
pRinoa stood in an dark room. She looked fifteen years younger, and
was wearing the clothes she wore back then. There were pictures of
Edea, Adel, Ultimecia, and Squall floating near where a wall probably
was.
p"Hello, Rinoa." A mysterious voice said. The voice sounded like a
woman, one that Rinoa has never spoke to before
br"... Who said that?"
br"You'll know soon enough."
br"... Is this a dream?"
br"Think of it more as a vision..."
br"Where are you?"
br"You are a sorceress, are you not?"
br"You didn't answer my question, where are you!?"
br"That doesn't matter. What matters is that you listen!"
brRinoa tries to say something, but couldn't.
br"Better, now listen. I am a sorceress from the future..."
bri... Ultimecia?/i
br"No, not Ultimecia! Closer to your present. In my attempt to
destroy the world, due to my hatred of humans, I am stopped my a
descandant of the Leonheart family."
briRaine?/i
br"No, I am defeated by your son."
briWhere is she going with this?/i
br"Your not paying attention! Anyways, to prevent this from
happening, I need to have you or your beloved husband killed."
br"And by who?" Rinoa said, finally able to speak again.
brThe room brightened slightly, and the form of someone in a dark
cloak is visible. "You, Rinoa." The cloaked person said
brRinoa paused for a second, "And how do you plan to make me do it!?"
Rinoa finally yelled out...
p Rinoa finally woke up from her strange dream. When her eyes focused,
she found herself holding a knife, standing above Squall. She dropped
the knife and screamed. Squall woke up and grabbed her. "Why are you
screaming!" He said, holding his trembling wife in his arms. She didn't
answer him, so he laid her back in bed and walked out of the room. He
came back a minute later with a glass of water. "Good thing the kids
didn't wake up... here, drink this." He handed the water to her, and
she drunk it immeadiatly. Once she stopped breathing so heavily, he
asked her again, "Now, why are you screaming?"
br"I had a bad dream..."
p"Oh, well don't worry about it," he said, walking to the other side
of the bed, "you'll be fine--aah!" Squall bent over and grabbed his
foot, then picked up the knife. It just cut his foot. "What's this
doing here?" Squall said, then looked at Rinoa. Rinoa shrugged,
although she knew how it got there.
br"You just try to get to sleep..." Squall said, then he kissed her
on the forehead and then limped out of the room to wrap his bloodied
foot.
pAs Rinoa was falling to sleep, she heard the voice again
br"... Like that."
p Squall came back to bed a few minutes later, with his foot in
a medical wrap. iDid Rinoa's screaming have something to do with the
knife?/i He thought to himself as he got into bed. He looked at Rinoa,
who was already asleep, but she didn't look relaxed.i ... Did her
nightmare have something to do with the screaming? I'll have to ask her
tommorow.../i Squall then fell asleep, growing tired of all of the
questions that he knew Rinoa was going to be unconfortable answering.
p Squall woke up at 6:00 am the next morning, just to find that
Rinoa was already awake, sitting on the bed. He decided that now was
probably the best time to ask her what was going on. He sat down next
to her, "Can I ask you --"
br"About last night?"
br"Yeah. What did you have a bad dream about?"
br"I don't know if I understand it, or if you want to know about
it..."
brSquall held her hand and looked her straight in the eyes. "I do."
p"Ok then... I dreamt that I was in a room talking to a voice. The
voice claimed that she was a sorceress from the future. She told me
that you needed to be killed, and she wants me to do it." Rinoa almost
started crying, then she looked at Squall's bandaged foot. "When I woke
up, I was standing next to you, holding a knife... thats why I was
screaming." She started crying, and leaned over into her husband's
shoulder.
br"It's ok," Squall said, patting Rinoa on the back, "... did this
sorceress tell you her name?"
br"No..." Rinoa barely said.
p"... Well, we will worry about it later... wait, did you know you
were walking into the kitchen, grabbing a knife, and walking to my
side?"
brRinoa stopped crying and shook her head as if to say "No".
briA sorceress who can possess people in their sleep... I'll have
to ask Cid about that.../i
