Sealed In Time
This fanfic focuses on what Rinoa was thinking or feeling in the Sorceress Memorial, and how she truly felt about Squall.
I do not own final fantasy or any of the characters, as I'm not a genius.

"I'm doing the right thing. I know I am. There's nothing else I can do. All the choices I have made, all the paths of fate have lead me here, to be sealed for all eternity. Away from him"
"Here, I can do no harm. In space, I caused so much chaos, so much destruction. Adel could kill everyone, start another war and if I was still here, I could not take that feeling of pain, knowing I was responsible. What if she kills everyone I love? What if she kills him?"
"No, he won't die. He can't die. My knight will come for me. He will save me and take me away from all the pain and the loss. He will not let me stay here, away from him."
"But what will happen if I lose control again, if I am taken over. I cannot take that. On Lunar Base, I could see him being flung across the room as he tried to touch me. I saw his pain through my own eyes, yet there was nothing I could do about it. I was trapped, I wanted to reach out to him but couldn't. I tried to talk, to tell him everything was alright, but no words came out of my mouth. And all I could see was his pain."
"I caused that pain. How could I live knowing that. I tried to force myself upon Squall, I even made him open up to me, something he'd never done before, but in the end he was right. People always leave. He trusted me and I left. I don't deserve to even lay eyes upon him again. I didn't deserve to be rescued, he should have left me floating in space. I don't deserve to live."
"Squall was the first person I trusted since my mother was killed. I loved him. I still love him, nothing will change that. Yet still, I know I do not deserve him, I can only cause harm to him. So why do I wish to see his face on the other side of the glass, staring in to my prison. He can't love me, I am a sorceress. Nobody can love me."
I began to cry. The sealing process was about to begin and I realised how much I wanted to see Squall again, or just to hear his voice. As the tears rolled down my cheeks I held my necklace in my hands. This was all I had left of Squall and it was all I would ever have. How I longed to once again here his voice.
"Rinoa." I thought I was dreaming. "Rinoa."
I looked up, realising I was not imagining it. "Squall?" is that you. "Squall!"
I heard a hissing sound and a crack began to appear in the glass. I was free. Seeing that it was indeed Squall who had freed me, I ran to him, something I should have done a long time ago. I won't run away from him anymore.
I wrapped my arms around Squall, hugging him tightly. I was pleasantly surprised at the warmth with which he returned the hug.
"Squall, you shouldn't, I'm a sorceress."
"I don't care, Rinoa. I love you."
Hearing those words was the magical moment in my whole life. I struggled to hold back the tears that were welling up inside me.
"I love you too."
