Discalimer I do not own Final Fantasy 8, understand?



A chant filled the the medal small holding cell, invading every little corner and echoing off the cold walls. Squall screams and holds his head. He didn't want to listen, the words hurt to much to hear, implanting something evil inside of him. Unrespectfully the chant continues unabated, pounding at the walls of Squall mind, tearing to peices the walls of his self being. Desperate Squall slams into a corner wall, then slides down to curl into a ball. Rocking back and forth on the cold floor; He was loosing the fight for his mind.

Hours later the door to the cell opens. Four emotionalless garuds endter. Two of which grab Squall and pull him off the florr. Squalls eyes pleed for the chanting to stop, for them to stop. This last day, or how ever long it had been had really worn on him. One of the male gaurds grunts, and they remove Squalls jacket. To tired to fight Squall goes limp in their arms. Surrender was his onlly option.

The chanting comes louder, and more feminine. Squall's face drops and shifts to utter dibelif. The four men push Squall on the floor. His face inadvertedly plastered to the ground, as they pinned him there with their bodies. Squall tries to move but his arms and legs are to well restrained. As Squll lays there defensless, he feels his shirt being cut off. The breath in Squalls lungs quicken with panic.

Cold hands touch Squalls bare back. Rubbing it gently, adding confusion to the list of emotions playing in his mind. The hands slide away, her fingernails making his muscles twich.

"Now as long as the scar remains he's one of us." A woman's voice declairs.

Scar? Squall gets the energy to fight, but it was to late. A burning poin fills Squa'lls body, focing a scream from his lucngs. Unefected the woman holds a hot brand to Squalls back between the shoulder blades. Images flash to Squall's mind of his friends and Rin. As the evil awakens inside of him, and the pain dullens he sees Rinoa's face. So sweet and gental. The image faded, and the evil force took over, as darkness rained down on Squalls mind.

Zell JR and Rin sat staring at each other. Not caring what they shoved in thereir motuhs out of the school cafiteria slop they were given Neither of them blinked, or did neither of them twich and facial muscle. The stop watch beside them read 49 hours and 58 minutes. Someone obvoiusly put that there when they were first found.

"Package for Rin Leonhart?"

Rin reaches for it and refusing to take her eyes off Zell Jr. The deliver puts the box on her lap and looks at Zell JR and Rin. Shaking his head he backs out of the room. Not wanting to see what was gonna happen next between the two. Blindly Rin opens the medium sized package. Her hand glides over somthing soft like fur. Givning Zell JR a exstremly cold look she pulls her eyes away.

Rin jumps back and falls over the chair. The contents of the box spilling on the floor at her feet. It was her fathers jacket. The one that served him through his days at the garden, and into his years of leadership. Zell JR gawks and couldn't belive his eyes either. On a last minute decision Zell JR castes sleep and starts calling for his mother.

Quintis, Cid, and Xu stare at the jacket. This only ment that in fact Squall was captured. Fainly they hoped he was just left behind. Xu folds it and gives it to Zell JR. Zell JR takes it and leaves. He knew she wanted him to give it to Rin. Not to mention he knew it was there way of getting him out of the room so they could say things.

"What do we do now Squall is captured." Quintis asks.

"Well, the schools ready to fly, and if need be the students can join in the fight." Xu pauses to ponder. "It's be a great test none more dangerious then they ones they are put up agianst yearly."

Cid puts his head in his hands. "No we couldn't do that. Look at how many SeeD's they killed already."

"That's cause they were over run us." Xu argues.

"And what Squall knows about this school if leaked out can harm us." Quintis asks.

"So just to save the school you'd save Squall?" Xu snaps.

"Yes." Quintis says bluntly.

Xu surpresses her emotions with a deep breath. "Okay then. For the Balamb gardan how to we retrive Squall Leonhart."

Rin cuddles her dads jacket, it was seilent outside. Had Zell JR fallen alseep? Rolling out of bed she tip-toes sielently to the door. The door barely creaks as she opened it, Zell JR and his dad sat comotose on the couch. It was obvious they pigged out on hotdogs till they passed out. Forgetting to feed her. Rin drops her dad's jacket, graps her blade, and then runs out the door.

Her foot steps fell silently as she ran down the hallway. She didn't know where she was headed but she just needed to get out, to get away. Being cramped up all day was beginng to get to her. She paused by the main halway. She pondered which way to go, and she decided the easest place to hide was on the second floor balcony.

The day was nice and warm outside and the wind smelled of the sea that lay around the island. Rin takes a deep breah and looks below at the ground. Everything looking so small from up here. She sighs and wishes that her dad was around to see this.

"Rin?"

Rin spins around and her jaw drops. Squall stood in the doorway, shitless but none the less there. How did he find her? Why didn't anyone tell her they found him? Either way she was so happy to see him.

Squall raises his gunblade and moves to a fighting stance. Rin's happyness faded and turned into shock. Never in her life did her dad want to fight her. Nervously she forces out a laugh and steps towards Squall. Pushing down the urge to panic.

'Dad were have you been?'

Squall launches at Rin and Rin spins to the side defensivly. Her fathers gunblade bends the railing right were she just was.
