Chapter Seven: I can't do this...
Rinoa just watched. She couldn't help it. She had grown so much stronger over the
past year. Stronger even, then when she felt the warmth of Squall's embrace. The
strength that came when she knew everything was gonna be all right. But now, he was
on the opposite side, a force of evil. She couldn't bring herself to harm him, and
couldn't do anything to stop the death of one of her friends. She was helpless...again.
"Hey, What happened!" Irvine came storming into the room, Merrick on his shoulder, and
Selphie holding Merricks other arm.
"Q-Q-Q-QUISTIS IS DEAD!!!" Zell stumbled over his words and finally screamed. He was able
move his arms, Squalls erie spell started to wear off, but all he could do was cry.
Selphie started screaming, and Irvine couldn't find anything to say.
"Well, well, well... Isn't this nice? We're all here. The whole gang." Squall smiled
coldly. He walked over and placed a hand on Rinoa's cheek. "And soon, we'll be together
again... Well, I don't know, that depends. I might just decide to kill you instead.
But one things for sure. I'll still get your blood." He forced a kiss on Rinoa's lips.
Rinoa suddenly felt even weaker and overpowered. The way she refused to feel like again,
because of the accident.
"Squall! How could you do this!" Selphie screamed in tears.
"Easy dear, I don't care." Squall laughed uncontrollably. "and before the end of the
night, you'll all be dead, too. The Master and all of his followers will be here shortly.
Your just in time for the feast."
"Feast?" Selphie gulped.
"Rinoa, do something! youre the slayer! The chosen. Hes not Squall! Now all he is, is
another vampire!" Irvine tried to encourage Rinoa.
"I-I can't"
"How dare you compare ME to THEM!" Squall scowled. Then he eye'd Rinoa. He had an idea.
"You don't want to fight me?" He cackled. " This shall be fun."
Just then, all the vamps attending the ceremony walked in. The hour was nigh. It was
time. Some vamps grabbed Zell, Selphie, Irvine, and Merrick.
"Welcome Friends. The time is now! The vampire revoloution is about to begin!" He then
grabbed Rinoa by the hair and lifted her. " I have prepared a show for you all. Do
not kill her friends just yet. I want them to have the privelige of seeing her die."
He walked over to a nearby wall with a coat of arms. He pulled the two swords
protruding from the shield and handed one to Rinoa. " My people want a show, don't let
them down."
"I can't... do this..." Rinoa sobbed, but Squall refused to wait. He made one quick
swing for Rinoa's head, but she ducked before it hit. He swung viciously, only to be
blocked by Rinoa every time. Squall swung again and missed, but the next time, he slashed
Rinoa's wrists with the sword. Rinoa was still in tears.
"Is this all you got? Slayer!" and as soon as squall said that, her blood hit the ground.
Then the ground started shaking and cracking with every bit of the planet's fury.
"Oh no!!!" Selphie screamed. "He's coming!!!"
