Secrets of the Sorceress
Chapter 6
The Dream Within
Devastation at the news of that we weren't to have a baby hit both Squall and me hard. I was so looking forward to having it happen the first time; harsh realization that it wasn't going to happen hurt me. But, as Selphie had said while she comforted me, "Not everyone gets lucky the first time, Rin. You just have to let fate take its course, you know?"
I knew she was right. I just wanted so badly to have things work my way. Squall and I had talked about it a lot since I found out, and had decided that when I was ready, we could try again.
I was ready now.
That evening when he came home from a secret-although not so secret to sneaky me-meeting with Galbadia Garden, I was dressed in the outfit I'd bought with Selphie. I stood waiting as his key slipped through the lock. All the lights were off, the three candles I'd lit giving the room a hazy, romantic glow. I forced my face to become somber, hoping it looked sexy and seductive enough for him. He came in, reaching for the light, but I called out, causing him to turn to me.
"Leave them off," I said softly, beckoning him with my body language. His face read a mixture of surprise and anticipation in the dim light, and I could feel his pleasure with my powers. He moved forward, advancing upon me. I flashed the crazy grin within me, daring him to challenge. Silence filled the room, nothing but the flickering candles to witness our close encounter.
"How about we try for that baby again?" I asked, feeling his hands rubbing my shoulders and felt a little shock. He only nodded, and then kissed me deeply. I'd gotten used to the sensation, and now, I had no fear of the dreams. I only hoped it would stay that way. Following the usual reaction of love when we shared a piece of one another, I returned the kisses.
It wasn't long before his hands were on my straps, gently tugging the thin pieces of string down. I smiled, still kissing Squall, and suddenly, to my horror.they returned.
Just as before, the images came in flashes. Like pictures being taken with a large bulb, snapping from shot-to-shot. I was still in Garden, the first apparition I saw being the peaceful atmosphere of Balamb Garden. Nothing was amiss.
Abruptly, the psychic vision changed. My mind's eye zoomed in on two men.whom I could only assume to be the two snipers on the news. I couldn't see their faces, for the entire black outfits both of them donned, and from what I could tell, they were crouched in an area of Garden I'd never seen, or at least found familiar. And then, something happened that didn't occur in the previous happening.
I heard them talking.
Conversation wasn't something that happened in the last time. It was as if the whole Garden was on mute, despite the stifled screams I heard only briefly. But here they were.talking to one another behind some sort of cover in my home.
"What's the plan?" one husky voice inquired. Neither turned to converse, simply staring ahead, probably hoping to look inconspicuous.
"This is Balamb Garden, we need to be careful, for one," the other replied, shifting his weight to the side where his gun was positioned.
"Who's the target?"
The raven form did not hesitate before saying, "The Headmaster."
My head began to reel, even inside the dream.
"The Headmaster?"
No, please not the Headmaster.
"Yes, the Headmaster. He's the head of the Garden, and he'll be running the order. What do you think will happen while he lies dead on the steps."
No!
No maniacal laugh or high five came from the two.telling me just how dangerous they were. The other was listening to the numerical plots for the ideal position, while I drifted away from the dreams, back into the arms of Squall, and more terrified than ever before.
Author's Notes: Hey guys! Thanks for the continued reviews, again. Sorry this is so short, I just had to get my point across, and leave it at a little bit of a cliffhanger. Aren't I great? I promise, chapter 7 will be much longer, I promise, just be patient, k? I'm working on so many writings right now I'd like to pull my hair out and scream at the top of my lungs, so just bear with me. And please review!!
