Authors note: I promised you a decent chapter seven, so I hope you find this decent. In this chapter I've used one of Linkin Park's songs called 'By myself'. I've written some of the lyrics in the text. Think of the lyrics as some of the things that are going around Rinoa's head.  You may find this chapter a little bit confusing, I hope! Please read and review and tell me if it worked! P.s. the whole aspect of this chapter is the confusion for Rinoa between the reality Sasha and the Sasha that she sees  in her dreams.

Forgotten

Chapter 7- between dreams and reality

Rinoa sat on her bed crying and rocking backwards and forwards. It had been two days since Squall had found out about her dreams and they hadn't been talking to each other, as whenever they did, they'd just end up arguing.

Rinoa looked at her clock, it was 2:05 am. Since she'd told Squall, she no longer wanted to face her nightmares again, the only solution she had was not sleeping. Though every time she tried she would always fall asleep. The dreams had started to get to her and sometimes she seemed to go crazy.

Days would pass before her eyes without her even realizing…

Sasha sat on her bed; she stood up and walked over to a draw, opened it and took out a velvet box. In the box was a dagger, which had a snake engraved in it. She hid it behind her jacket and walked out her room closing the door behind her.

"Rinoa, this is Sasha" Squall said.

"Hi" Sasha said putting her hand out. "It's nice to finally meet you" Rinoa said shaking her hand.

Sasha walked down the corridor not blinking, as if she was possessed. Finally she stopped outside a door and stepped inside then closed the door. It was Squall's dorm.

What do I do to ignore them behind me?

Do I follow my instincts blindly?

Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams and give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?

Do I sit here and try to stand it?

Or do I try to catch them red-handed?

Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness

Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?

Because I can't hold on but I'm stretched so thin.

I make the right moves but I'm lost within

I put on my daily façade but then

I just end up getting hurt again

Zell sighed as he slammed his cards down on the table looking up at a smiling Sasha. "I win again"

Zell picked up his cards, which Sasha hadn't won yet "Okay one more go and I will beat you this time" Zell said confidently. Irvine yawned, " That's what you've said the last five times"

Zell slammed his last few cards down and turned to Irvine "You shut the hell up!"

Seifer smirked as he walked past "What's wrong chickenwuss, being beat by a girl" Seifer looked down at the annoyed looking Zell "again" Seifer added.

Sasha stepped behind Squall; he turned around and looked at her "Sasha?"

She didn't say anything, she put her hand behind her jacket and pulled out the dagger "I'm sorry" she said softly as she quickly drew it to Squall throat, with a quick slash blood poured from his throat. He took one last look at Sasha before falling to the floor.

Sasha stood over him as his blood stained the floor "I'm sorry" she repeated again before walking out of his room.

If I turn my back I'm defenceless

And to go blindly seems senseless

If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll

Take from me till everything is gone

If I let them go I'll be outdone

 But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun

If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer

Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

"Squall I'm sorry about what I said yesterday" Rinoa said looking up at Squall.

"It doesn't matter, just tell me, you've had these dreams ever since she first came here?" Rinoa nodded her head. "Can't you do something to make it stop?"

Maybe if Sasha goes…Rinoa thought to herself. "I've tried but it always comes back"

"Well it doesn't mean it's true, me and Sasha have been getting on quite well.

Rinoa stood up and walked to the window and looked up at the stars. "If you say so"

Rinoa cried to herself in her bed thinking of all the things that had happened, thinking of what Squall had asked her 'Can't you do something to make it stop?'

Don't you know?

I can't tell you how to make it go

No matter what I do, how hard I try

I can't seem to convince myself why

I'm stuck on the outside

A/n: Was it too confusing? Did it work with the lyrics from the song 'by myself'? Please review and tell me what you thought of it!
