YAY! I got a new computer and I finally figured out how I am going to be able to write my fanfics! It only took me about 2 days ::laughs::. Sorry its been a while since I updated but that's what has been going on!

While I was sleeping I had a terrible dream that stirred me from my sleep. I was meandering in an open field when a little boy came up to me, he was running away from a huge explosion that had occurred behind him. The boy had strikingly beautiful blue eyes that swam in the storm of his pupils and hair that looked like midnight. He grabbed my hand and turned me away from the wreckage of the explosion, that I could only guess was a city from the rumbling that was heard all around the plains I had been trudging through.
The boy only muttered a few things to me, and although I couldn't understand him the message was clear; we both had to flee from whatever force was following. Although quite young, the child leading me ran incredibly fast, almost dragging me into the woods away from the openness of the plains. We both crouched behind a fallen log, and our eyes scanned the plains for the stalker.
Suddenly, a white force flew about the plains and threw the log, knocking over the boy and myself onto the ground. Instinctively, I threw myself on top of the boy, trying to cover him from the evil force pursuing us. Quickly, I turned my gaze to the entity, and a strange bright white light pierced my eyes.
Before my eyes could focus in my dream, my eyelids had won the battle and had thrown themselves open, while my lungs were gasping for air. I tried to sit myself up to be calm, but I was reminded of my cuffs when they would not let me move my body that was wracked with fear. Raijin was standing over me, and I let out an ear piercing scream for the fright his presence had stirred in me, still fearing my dream. I took a deep breath then looked at Raijin and sighed almost in complete relief from being saved.
Raijin had jumped back from my loud screech and took a long look at me, while trying to regain his breath. He inched back a little closer and when he noticed that I would not scream any more, he started to feed me without speaking any words to me. He fed me some kind of gruel one would only serve to the most wretched of prisoners. For a moment, I took in all the food I could for I was growing weary and needed all my strength. I decided this was the perfect opportunity to trick him, or persuade him to tell me about what was going on. He had never been too bright, always following Seifer and Fujin's orders, so perhaps it would not be too hard to persuade him to let me in on the secret.
I used my eyes to plead with his before I spoke, "Why am I all tied up now, but I wasn't before?" Raijin looked at me, but did not respond. He seemed overly interested on his task at hand. I began to squirm like a baby does when not wanting to eat anymore, trying to distract him from his mission so he could answer my question. "I'm awfully uncomfortable here. I just wanna know why I was put on this cold metal bed when I could be in that dark little cell, just a little more comfy than right now."
Raijin stared into my pleading eyes, and he weighed each word in his mind before he spoke. I had never seen him so focused before he said the words, "So we could get at you more easily when the time comes." Then he shut his mouth and took the tray containing the food he had been feeding me and left me there.
I closed my eyes and thought about the words he had said, and one question popped into my mind; when what time comes? My thoughts were racing with all the horrible things they could do to me in the submissive state I was in. I sighed heavily, taking in a lot of the stale air around me. I knew at that point that I would have to fight back, that I needed to free myself and my child from the evil clutches of the maniacal Seifer.
Squall looked out the window and had noticed the change in the color of the surface for in their long chase it had gotten a little brighter. Deciding not to dwell on it, he looked over at his crew. All of his friends were exhausted for the chase was longer than they had all anticipated. He noted that Selphie had begun to play tic tac toe, a seemingly mindless game, into a full out war with Irvine. Squall cocked an eyebrow at Selphie when she jumped up and started dancing from her triumph over the cowboy. Zell who was watching over the tiny battle, chuckled at the victory after receiving a vindictive stare from Irvine that he should cut it out. Zell changed his chuckle into a full blown cackle, much to Irvine's despise.
The whole scene was humorous but Squall found no joy in it. He found himself brushing his hand across the smoothness of his sleek gunblade. He had polished it earlier, and found his reflection in it. The image that he saw seemed so different than the boy who had once looked into its reflection. He had not always carried the worries that he bore now; now that his wife and child were torn away from him.
Soon after the display of hope on the submarine, Squall decided to take his rest for the night, while the others would keep watch on the ship. Curling up into a little ball for warmth in the corner with a rolled up blanket for a pillow, Squall attempted to go to sleep. Memories and fears arose in his mind, and when he fell asleep it was only light, for he tossed and turned trying to find a way through the invisible barrier keeping him from his sleep.
Hours after talking with Raijin and being left alone, I felt somehow tranquil. I could hear the propellers of the submarine whirring and it put me in a dreamlike state. Although I was not totally asleep, for I was conscious of everything all around me, I was beginning to have something like a hallucination. Hallucinations of being on a beach making sand castles with my child, and being picked up and thrown into the water by a overjoyed Squall. When I found myself back in the room, I began to feel so sad. All by myself in that little room for such a long while was not a healthy thing for me.
Suddenly I was taken from my delusional state for Seifer and Quistis had returned. They began pushing a lot of buttons and having a conversation about mindless banter, like shipmates or noise of the ship. One of the buttons they pressed started beeping frantically, and once the sound had commenced, Quistis looked at Seifer and kissed him on the cheek. Seifer then broke away from her and walked over to me and said, "It begins now."
"Oh Irvine you are so funny!" Selphie was saying to Irvine after he had made a funny face at her, it was all they could do to keep from going crazy in the small confines of the ship.
Irvine smiled at her, until she tousled his hat off of his head and it went flying into the window of the ship. Shaking his head he went to retrieve it, and then his face dropped. He asked her in the most serious fashion after all that had just happened, "Selphie, what is that black smoke coming out of the ship?"
Selphie lightly slapped his arm, "Oh hush Irvine do you really think I'd fall for that?!"
"No Selphie, just look," Irvine said assertively then started looking at all the radar around him, although he was not certain on how to read any of the coordinates.
Zell decided to get in on the fun of teasing Selphie as well, "Oh my, Selphie look hurry! Its coming for you!" Zell then landed on his back in hysterics. Watching Selphie's face as she got more infuriated with the both of them for picking on her gave Zell a good chuckle.
Irvine got up from the controls and walked over to the worried Squall, "Come on Squall get up. There's some black smoke coming out of the submarine, we really need to figure out what is going on."
Selphie then looked out the window, for she thought that Irvine was very serious now upon awakening the leader. Then she gasped in utter shock, "There actually is black smoke! Damnit!" Furiously typing away at the computer screens she tried to figure out what the problem was with the opposing ship.
Squall jumped up and ran to the window, half asleep still, and he gasped at the sight. "Are they leaking oil or fuel Selphie? Have they been hit?!" Screaming louder and louder, he kept on inquiring about the failure of the other ship, anything that could possibly be wrong with a ship was asked of by Squall.
Concluding that there was nothing wrong with the ship, they continued their analysis anyway. They would not give up on the fate of the two lives that were hanging in the balance of this mystery. They continued their research for many hours at the small computer screens until their eyes would not focus on them anymore. Squall decided to keep watch on the other submarine, while the others all fell asleep, Selphie in the pilot's chair, Irvine on the floor by the window, and Zell in the spot that Squall had once occupied.
When the time came to switch roles, Squall didn't have the heart to wake them up, so he continued his watch throughout the night on a tiny little ship, carrying the biggest things in his life.
