Bobby was running out of the elevator when the school suddenly jerked to a halt. Unable to hold her footing, Bobby slams into the side of the elevator, then topples forward into the room. Pulling her feet out as the doors dinged shut. If someone slammed on the breaks then they must know already. Bobby picks herself off the floor and cringes at a pain in her ribs. She probably bruised them or something.
Two arms gently support her, it was Edea.
"I see you saw." Bobby gasps.
"Saw? The school just suddenly slammed to a halt no reason why." Edea says concerned.
"Well, there's BIG trouble headed this way Edea."
"I'll get everyone on alert... Where you headed after this Bobby?"
"To find mom and dad. If not then my sisters." Bobby answers.
"Good."
A howl fills the room, Bobby suddenly hits the button for down.
"I better hurry... Expect large numbers of the enemy."
****
Inside of the infirmary the howl was herd to. Rin sucks in a deep breath and gasps her dads hand instinctively. Laguna twitches nervously and looks at the door. All of them knew the time was soon, Alana was here.
"Where's Estrella?" Laguna asks suddenly.
"Still out getting me food." Squall answered looking concerned.
"Rin, you stay in here by your dad." Laguna gives his kid, and grandchild a quick hug. "Dammit, I hope I'll be back soon with her."
Laguna jogs out of the infirmary. Rin sighs and looks at the chair. She freezes imminently. She pulls on her dads blanket with urgency
"What?"
'Grandpa forgot gun.' Rin says in best sign language she can.
"Shit." Squall ponders for a second. "He'll be fine, just stay here."
Rin looks at her father, nice words of insurance he spoke, now if Squall could convince himself of there truth. Sighing Rin looks at the door impatiently waiting for her grandfather to return.

The pack approached the now settled Garden with caution. Dante looked to two wolves and they moved around the Garden scouting for and opening. Moving towards the main gate Dante noticed that the opening was big enough for the pack to squeeze threw but small for him. He looked to Fenrir and yipped.
The pack turned and trotted towards him and one by one they squeezed threw the gate. Dante stepped back and ran towards the gate, before slamming into it he leapt up and scrambled to the top of the gate. Looking down he noticed it was a long drop but he stepped out landing on his feet. The rest of the pack gathered around him as he drew his sward from the sheath on his back. He sniffed the air and found what he was looking for and then some.
"Ulfric, Freki. Take half of the pack and look for the knight. Fenrir and I will look around there is something here of interest to me." He said looking at the large gray wolf.
Moving threw the corridors stealthily the wolves followed the scent. Coming upon the infirmary Ulfric raises his muzzle to the air. The sweet scent of dried blood filled his nostrils. The knight was here. Looking over to Geri, the packs lowest ranking wolf he growled and made a sound crossed between a whine and a yip. Geri crawled forward, licked Ulfric's bottom lip, and ran cautiously towards the direction of Dante's scent.
__
Dante followed the familiar scent until he reached the cafeteria. There he spotted a woman walking towards a younger girl. They were speaking to each other. The woman he knew all to well but it had been a long time since he had laid eyes on her.
She had gained weight now and her hair was taking on faint streaks of gray. Living among the filth of them all had taken its toll on her. He studied her and growled. Fenrir whined lightly as he looked at the older woman. He pricked up his ears so he could hear them better, Dante also listened closely.
"Hey Eddy, how are you doing?"
"Oh hi I'm doing good, looking for my mom though, dad says we gotta meet. Something big's gonna happen. How's the commander doing?"
"Commander?"
"Squall, you know Laguna's son."
"Ooh. Well, I was just on my way back to see them got them some yummy hot dogs, want to come along?"
"Sure maybe mom's around there."
The two made their way to the infirmary but were halted by the site blocking them. Out of the darkness came a large black wolf. It snarled and flashed its fangs snapping at them. Eddy squeaked as she tried to stifle a scream. Estrella looked at the wolf in terror.
Behind the wolf appeared a man cloaked in a long black cloak, he wore a black shirt that spilled lace out of the cloak and the sleeves covering his delicate pale hands, his pants were tight leather almost molded to his skin and he wore a pair of black leather boots that rode up to his knee's lacing on the sides.
She looked to his face and gasped. His long midnight ebony black hair cascaded in a shower of rich curls reaching his chest, yet his eyes were a blasé of sapphire light as he stared at her. Grinning in a snarl, she could make out fangs. This was no man she looked at this was more of a beast like the great black wolf that stood before her.
"Eddy when I say run, run", she whispered as she felt around her side for her sword. Suddenly realizing she had forgotten it in the dorm that her and Laguna had shared.
Glaring at her the man growled, "don't move bitch or my wolf will rip your throat out".
Eddy swallowed as she looked at the wolves gathering around him, there were four great wolves snarling and foaming with anger at them. She wasn't moving one inch let alone going to breathe.
Estrella moved first but did not get far before the man moved past her with shocking speed. He leapt on to her and she screamed but was silenced by the feel of a sharp object being held to her throat.
Eddy looked on as tears streamed her face. She was scared and the wolves knew it.
"You my lovely girl will make a fine prize for my mistress, as for you bitch", he hissed in Estrella's ear, " I have plans for you".
Looking out towards the opening of the cafeteria Estrella spotted Laguna wondering towards them. She screamed out to him "LAGUNA!!"
Dante pulled his blade tighter to her throat causing droplets of blood to pool and slide down the blade to the floor.
"Silence bitch or I'll cut your throat here and now and feed on your carcass", he growled low into her ear.
"Estrella!" Laguna cries out and rushes towards the impending scene. "Let her go!" Laguna orders in warning, reaching to were his gun should be. "Oh shit."
"And if I don't old man what will you do then kill me?" Dante laughs amused at what stood before him. Throwing back his head, he howled in triumph.
Ulfric pricked up his ears and turned. He heard the, call time to retreat, looking back at Squalls room then turned and ran to his master. The other wolves followed.
Chuckling as he studied Laguna, he noticed the old man had no weapons of any kind on him.
"What's the matter old man did you not come prepared"; Dante laughed as he dragged Estrella towards the entrance.
She struggled and Dante hit her with the hilt of his sward knocking her unconscious, she fell limp in his arms as he slung her over his shoulder. Eddy, still crying, was herded towards the entrance after Dante by the snapping jaws of the wolves.
"No you bastard, you coward, come and fight me", Laguna spat as he moved towards them. "You are not a man you are a coward. You hit an unarmed woman and scare a child. You are nothing. Come and fight me like a man or are you to afraid that I could kill you with no weapons", he called out to Dante.
Growling Dante turned around, "don't be foolish old man I could kill you with my eye's closed".
"Coward you could not", with that Laguna ran towards them.
He was quickly falling to the floor with a terrible pain searing threw his back. Something had struck him from behind. Then he felt them. Struggling to his feet, he saw three large wolves snapping and growling at him.
A large gray one lunged at him coming with in a hair's reach of his leg. Another jumped at his face, while the other moved in for an attack. Suddenly as if out of nowhere a hot rang out, the attacking wolf let out a yelp and fell dead to the ground blood pooling around it.
"NO ULFRIC!!!", Dante screamed out as the rest of the pack moved towards Laguna. Dante turned and ran Fenrir and Eddy following. Howling Dante called the pack as they retreated.
"No", Laguna cried out as he watched his beloved's body disappear out of sight, "NO".
****
Seifer glowers at the disappearing wolves, more of his injuries aggravated by the quick attack. Swearing Seifer swings his blade around then into the floor. Inciting a squeak of terror from someone beside him. It was one of Irvine's to many girls that he nearly took a foot off of. Cautiously she backs off, fearing what Seifer may do to her.
"Why do you think Alana is doing this?" Seifer asks her.
"PMS or Puberty?" She responds quietly.
Seifer looks at her slightly amused. "And the hatred that's obviously between the wolf raised boy, and Laguna's girlfriend?"
"Maybe they were kids together, you know walker age, and she pushed him down the stairs in his walker." She responds again.
"And which Kinneas kid are you?" Seifer asks.
"Donna, sir."
"Donna, Donna... Eddy, Bobby and Donna, Inna, I can only guess your other siblings names. "I'm sorry about your sister Eddy."
"Think she'll be okay?"
Seifer pulls his gunblade from the ground. That was one question he was not going to answer. Donna lowers her eyes and silently begins to cry. At the same time a loud mournful cry rips throw the school. Weather it was Selphie or Irvine Seifer didn't know, or care.
****
Bobby ran into the infirmary, the demise of her sister unknown. Her only thought was to get by the Loire's, and the Almsy's. Her side felt on fire, and she shot spontaneously at wolves, not caring weather her shot gave them a quick death.
Bursting into the infirmary she finds an on guard Rin; Squall behind her begging to be let out of the room so he can fight. Mrs. Almsy looked pale and remained next to her son. Never planning to move from Seth's side.
"Bobby, what's going on?" Mrs. Almsy calls out to Bobby.
"Alana's taking her revenge for us taking back Squall." Bobby responds.
Squall pushes his daughter hard. "Rin Rai Leonhart MOVE!"
["People of Balamb Garden, you know that I took two of your kind."] Alana's voice erupts from all corners off the room. ["I want my Squall back, first let me remind you how my creatures are made."]
All the glass in the school turn into tiny TV's do to the spell caste by Alana. Donna lay on a table scared and frightened. Secured to some sort of medical table. A tube ran from her arm, but nothing flowed down. But soon that all changed as a sluggish black liquid creeps down the tube.
At first nothing appears to happen then Donna begin to thrash, then scream. The liquid slowly, and painfully began to change her. First it was boils, then as she struggles she began to break her own bones.
Bobby opens then covers her mouth, turning away utterly disgusted. Squall and Rin stare in horror. Neither had seen anything so horrid.
In the quad Irvine pulled Selphie to her chest and refused to let her see. She cried out, and Irvine cried silently.
Zell and Zell Jr, turned green, and they to had to turn away. As Xu ran to find them.
Edea, and Ellone shudders, and watch in cool demise. Eyes trying not to observe the scene to well.
To those who dared to watch, saw Donna turn into something inhuman. No longer one of there own. Those who dare not watch, herd the breaking bones, and her screams. Donna's screams turning inhuman after a while.
Ellone turns her attention to Edea. "You know what it is that did that?"
"Yes." Edea whispers. "Once made men strong, and eventually crazy, now in it's death it does this... We must stop my daughter or everything will be lost."
Ellone sucks in a breathe like one would if they stubbed a toe on a rock. Edea's voice held something more. More then despair, more then terror, and not any thing good. It was like she was trying to tell them it was all hopeless. Softly Ellone touches Edea's arm.
"You can't be serious." Ellone whimpers.
"Unfortunately I am." Edea confirms, and not talking about the poison that changed Donna.
Edea turns and walks away, leaving a ghostly presence in the room. Covering her eyes Ellone cries for all that have been lost, and all that will. it seems like history continued in one continuous circle. Life and massacre. It was rare now days for someone to grow up to be an adult, much less die of a natural cause.
Still in the hearts of many, hope remained strong, even if it was just a flicker.
And so in these days the time of peace drew to an end. A new war began, just like it had years before. The generation that began to grow old again, eventually faced premature death, and the generation born to them forced to grow up before their time.
