Authors note: Just though I'd dedicate this chapter to all the England fans who are drowning their sorrows since England's defeat, and especially dedicated to my brother who beat up the sofa and is now crying in the corner!
Read and review folks!
Forgotten-Chapter 4
"Hurry up, Rinoa, we're gonna be late!" Selphie said as she grabbed Rinoas hand and dragged her into the train. Selphie wanted to go shopping in Dollet for the day. She had spent so much time getting ready this morning she had made them late.
Selphie opened the doors and went into the SeeD carriage. She sat down on the leather seats and looked out of the window as they began to move. Rinoa soon came in and sat down beside Selphie as Angelo followed her and sat down on the floor next to her owner.
"I just love trains," Selphie said facing Rinoa. "I know." Rinoa replied.
"Really how come?" Selphie said smiling. Rinoa looked at her. "Because every time I've ever been on a train with you, you say that." Selphie giggled, then sighed and put her hand on her chin as she looked out the window.
The rest of the train journey Selphie told Rinoa all the latest gossip in Garden, then the other part of the journey was quiet, as Selphie had fallen asleep. Angelo made herself comfortable on Rinoa's lap as she gently stroked her. Rinoa didn't really want to sleep, she was afraid of what she might see if she drifted off.
She hadn't slept properly for a while as every night a new nightmare would torture her mind. She really needed to talk to someone about it, but didn't know whom to turn to.
The train pulled up at Dollet station. Selphie yawned and pulled herself sleepily from the train. They stepped off the train and walked into Dollet.
"It's been a while since I've been here," Selphie said excitedly. "Do you wanna have a look around the town?"
"Sure." Rinoa replied. They went off around the town.
"This will look nice on you." Selphie said pulling out a dress.
"I don't know. It's a bit too short."
"So? At least Squall will notice you."
"Yeah, he'll probably think I forgot to get dressed properly and sent me back to my dorm to put something on." Rinoa said, as the two of them giggled to each other like little kids. They left the shop and headed for a café.
"What do ya think?" Selphie said showing the new top she had brought.
"It's nice." Rinoa answered back.
Selphie looked at Rinoa for a moment. She couldn't help noticing that Rinoa had been quiet today. "Rin, you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah." Rinoa said, taking a sip of her coffee.
"Are you sure? You know if you're having problems with Squ-"
Rinoa cut her off. "I'm fine, I'm just a little bit tired that's all."
Selphie nodded her head. "We better get going before we miss the train again," she said standing up as they both walked towards the train station.
When the train started moving it was quiet, Selphie was reading a magazine, which she had brought at the station. Rinoa looked out of the window as the scenery rushed past her.
They had gone all the way round Dollet today but she couldn't help noticing that there was no library in Dollet.
(We probably just didn't see it) she assured herself.
Rinoa yawned as she was tired but she didn't want to fall asleep, not in front of Selphie in case she had another dream. Selphie was already suspicious that something was wrong.
The rest of the journey was long and tiring, then they finally came to a stop. They both walked out of Balamb and into Garden.
"Well I've gotta go now Rinoa. I've got date with Irvine. Bye!" Selphie waved to her friend as she ran out of sight.
Rinoa sighed to herself as she walked to her dorm with Angelo following behind. She opened her door and sat on her bed. She yawned again to herself but refused to fall asleep. Just lately she was afraid to go to sleep, she always dreaded what she would see in her mind.
To stop herself from falling asleep she took a cold shower. She got changed into her nightgown. As she lay on her bed and Angelo came up and lay beside her.
Rinoa raised her hand to stroke the dog. It snuggled up beside her and soon after fell asleep. She lowered her head on to the pillow feeling a little more secure with Angelo protecting her. She closed her eyes and soon drifted away.
Sasha knelt down on the floor over something. She seemed to be crying as she lifted her hands towards her. They were covered in blood. She looked down again to see the bloody body on the floor. It was Squall, his face twisted in a picture of horror. There was a single slit across his neck, that allowed the blood to flow down to the floor and paint it a deep, dark red.
She took on last look at him, and then walked away. As she walked away, a smile appeared on her face. She walked out of Garden, away from her victim without a care in the world.
