Chapter 3 Pressure and Ice Strike!
Cloud Strife
He's wrong he has to be, it'll never happen it cant happen Rinoa's not like Edea and there is no more future sorceresses to be possessed by is there? No there cant be! Squall had been pacing his office for the past hour trying to rid himself of the haunting words of Headmaster Cid "she will turn… possessed or not you still had to fight her… every sorceress throughout time has turned evil and so will Rinoa." However pacing his office wasn't doing much since it was pathetically small. Finally he flung open the door and started heading for the Training Center.
He was almost halfway there when Squall heard an ear-shattering scream. Reacting instinctively he started running for the place of the noise it was from the library when he got there water and ice were everywhere, and a scared and crying Rinoa was in the back of it.
Taking charge immediately Squall talked to the head librarian and said, "alright get everyone out and call for a maintenance team and a cleanup crew." Responding with a salute and a quick, "yes sir" she bustled everyone but Rinoa and Squall out and then left herself. Squall walked over to Rinoa and sat down beside her. Rinoa looked up at Squall and tried to stop crying but to no avail, "Squall what have I done?!?! I I I was just sitting here when I all the sudden felt a chill I turned around put out my hand to try to protect myself but then that happened. I I I I almost killed people…." Rinoa then just fell into hysterics sobs wracking her body as Squall held her in his arms until she stopped saying words of comfort and telling her it wasn't her fault but knowing that soon he would have to report to the headmaster and he knew what Cid would say, and gods what if he was right.
Squall looked at Rinoa and in to her eyes, telling himself that how could someone so kind so honest turn evil. Squall took Rinoa to her room and suggested that she get some rest. "Ok" she said hesitantly, "but could you stay with me I'm scared and I don't want to be alone." Squall frowned, as he knew he had to report to Cid and said, "After I tell Cid I'll come back and stay with you ok?" After a second or to she nodded in acquiescence, "Alright but hurry please."
For the second time in one day he was up at Cid's office. After finishing his report Cid had a deep frown on his face, "I had a feeling this would happen soon. Rinoa's sorceress powers are awakening, she has to learn how to control them, we will go to the old orphanage and see Edea, she and a couple of friends are rebuilding the orphanage Edea will have to teach Rinoa how to use and control her powers. Very well go to the Flight Center and tell them where were going." Squall saluted, "Yes sir."
He tried to leave before the Headmaster said anything but it was already too late, "Squall wait have you thought about what I said? You need to stop seeing Rinoa, she may be forced to leave the garden if her powers grow to strong to fast for her to control." Squall responded without hesitation, "then I would go to, I will be with her" Cids temper flared, "You would give up this garden your position, all that you've worked so hard to get for her! A person you will end up killing in the end! Squall I …" Squall had reached a breaking point in one fluid motion Squall drew his gunblade and pointed it at the headmaster before he realized what he was doing and yelled, "NO IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!!! I have waited all my life for this and now I am finally happy you cannot let it rest!!!" Finally his brain catching up with his actions he put the gunblade away, "Sir I'm sorry I just cant take it I'll go tell the pilot."
With that he turned and stormed from the office and headed for the elevator. Later on he arrived at the Flight Center even with his thoughts in turmoil he marveled at the Flight center they had gotten it from Eathshire A/N sorry I have no idea how to spell it! Buttons and lights as far as the eye could see and four Vid screens for the front right left and rear of the garden and there was Nidia, "Hey Squall this place is so cool I just cant get over it, I cant believe Laguana gave this to us for defeating Ultimacea." Squall was barely paying attention, "Yeah sure is please take us to the Cape of Good Hope where the orphanage is." Nidia nodded, "sure thing!"
Squall walked back to the elevator and went up to the first floor walking to the dorms he knocked on Rinoa's door, after a second she came to it with a smile, "Hey what took you so long?" "Were going to the orphanage so Edea can help you with your powers." Rinoa looked downcast, "oh I knew this would happen I'm a threat I should go to the sorceress memorial I don't want to hurt anyone." Squall hugged Rinoa tight, "no I couldn't stand it, besides Matron is a good teacher I'm sure." Rinoa nodded her head and let Squall in they both climbed in to bead and while Rinoa slept peacefully Squall hardly slept at all.
