Chapter 2

Sasha was sat on the bed thinking, she stood up and opened a draw. She pulled out a velvet box and opened it, in the box there was a dagger inside. The handle was gold and had a snake engraved in it. She took it out of the box and put it behind her jacket then walked out of her door and closed it behind her. She stepped out into the hallway walking slowly down the hall, her eyes not moving at all. She didn't blink or smile like she had done earlier, it was as if she was possessed. She carried on walking until she turned around and stopped outside a dorm. It was Squall's.

Rinoa woke up startled at what she had just seen. She quietly got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror for a moment. 'It was just a dream' she thought to herself as she sighed. She couldn't understand it. Why would Sasha have a dagger in her hand? And why would she go to Squall's room with it? After convincing her it was just a dream she went back to bed. She looked at her clock to see it was 3:00 am; she yawned and turned over to go to sleep again.

Squall awoke early; he got a shower and got dressed. There was a knock at his door; he opened it to find Rinoa. "Good morning" she said in her usual cheery mood. "Morning" he replied back in his usual tone of voice. "Have you seen Sasha yet today?" Rinoa asked. "No why?" Squall questioned as Rinoa seemed to look more serious, she wondered if she should tell Squall about the dream she had had that night, but she thought not as it was just a stupid dream and she didn't want to get Squall worried over nothing.

"Rinoa, you there?"

"Huh? What?" Rinoa snapped out of her thoughts and she saw Squall looking at her. "Are you okay?" he asked. "Yeah I was just thinking," she said looking at the floor. Squall took her hand "You shouldn't think to much" Rinoa looked up at Squall again and he seemed to have a small grin on his face, she couldn't help but smile back. He pulled her towards his door and said "Come on we better get to the cafeteria before Zell gets there and eats everything" Rinoa let out a little laugh as they walked down to the cafeteria together.

When they got there they got their food and sat with the others, surprisingly Sasha was there as well. "Morning Squall" Selphie said happily as usual. She just nodded his head in reply and sat down next to Rinoa.

"Oh look here a new persons joined Squall's little gang" they all turned around to see Seifer smirking at them.

Seifer had joined garden and was training to be a SeeD again. He was still his usual self but was a bit more serious about becoming a SeeD than he was before as Cid had decided to give him one last chance to prove himself.

"Seifer this is Sasha, Sasha this is Seifer" Quistis said. Just then Xu came running in "Commander Squall, Cid would like to see you" Squall stood up and followed after Xu.

Seifer turned to Sasha "So are you training to be a SeeD too? Because if you are your gonna have to be as good as me."

"I'm not a member of garden, I'm only here for a little while to stay with my brother." Selphie smiled and had to point out that Squall and Sasha were twins. Rinoa seem to get lost in her thoughts about the previous night as she looked at Sasha. Why would she have a dream about that, it felt so real as though it was through Sasha's eyes. She decided that she shouldn't judge, as it was only a dream, if she had more dreams she would talk to Edea about it.

Squall exited from the lift as it reached the third floor. He walked to Cids office and knocked on the door.

"Come in," came the headmasters' voice. Squall opened the door to find Headmaster Cid looking more serious than he usually was.

"Squall, it looks like we may have some trouble," Headmaster Cid said, gesturing for Squall to sit down.

"Why? Whats happened?" Squall said sitting down on a seat in front of Cids desk; Cid also sat down.

"We found some information about Ultimecia," Squall nodded his head not sure what to expect next. Come back from the dead?

"Turns out Ultimecia wasn't only a Sorceress, she was also a Goddess."

"A Goddess?" Squall repeated. Cid nodded his head. "A group of ninjas worshipped her, they may come after Garden because we killed Ultimecia. They might come after you!"

Squall nodded his head thinking. If they were going to attack Garden, why hadn't they done it before? "Why leave it until now?" Squall said thinking out loud. "Were not sure where they are or if they're coming after us, but it's a danger and I'm going to take no risks"
