Chapter 3: Strength and Intuition.
Seraph was watching the whole the incident. Her green eyes flashed.
"This Almasy girl . . . she could be a great use to me. Weakness flows through her veins plain as day! She would be easy to manipulate, just like her father." The little girl snapped her fingers and was suddenly dressed in the Balamb Garden Junior Classmen uniform. Then, she clapped her hands three times and formulated inside the same room as Maverick, just as the elevator door closed. Seraph pretended to sob and Maverick turned around. She walked over to the small girl and knelt down in front of her.
"What's wrong? Are you lost? The headmaster's office is just up there." Maverick pointed to the lift.
"No. It's not that." The child let out a pathetic whimper.
"Well, than, what is it?" Maverick asked.
"I need you to kill Tempest Leonhart for me." Her eyes flashed again.
"You're a sorceress!" Maverick shouted, raising her gunsword.
Seraph laughed a soft, child-like laugh. "Glad you noticed."
"What do you want with Tempest?" Maverick demanded, ignoring her comment.
"The question really is," Seraph smiled. " 'What do you want with Tempest?' I saw you threaten her. Don't you want to make sure she stays away from your brother for good?"
"Shut up, you conniving little brat! I can do that without committing murder!" Maverick inched closer and closer to the tiny sorceress, her gunblade poised and ready.
"You say that now, Maverick Almasy, but you just wait. A few days without dreams and you'll be at my feet like a dog to its master." Seraph waved and disappeared as suddenly as she came.
"Damn!" Maverick shouted. "She got away!"
She sheathed her gunblade once more and started to the lift, but thought differently. Tempest should know before anyone. She's the one in danger. And with that, she left for the cafeteria.

Meanwhile . . .
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*
Tempest decided that Maverick couldn't make her stay away from Griffin. He was the only good friend she had and no one could keep her from him. But, she wouldn't tell Griffin. It was between her and Maverick, no one else.
"Hey!" Tempest was so deep in thought; she had bumped into her brother, Fritz.
"Sorry, Fritz. I was thinking."
"Yeah, well, don't think so deeply then. For all our sakes." Fritz said, rubbing his arm.
"Congratulations on the SeeD Exam."
"You, too. You got the highest out of all of us. You even beat Destiny."
"Seriously?"
Fritz nodded. His hair was the wildest Tempest had ever seen, and that's saying a lot. It was messy and piled on the top of his head with strands sticking out every which way and he wore a black skull and crossbones tee with a pair of black denim pants that was adorned with chains, charms, and the like. He also had a choker with spikes like a dog collar on it and his fingernails were painted black to match his black lipstick. He wore stuff like this everyday and as lot of the people admired his sense of style.
"Hey, I'll catch you later, brother. I'm meeting Griffin in the cafeteria." Tempest said, waving goodbye.
Fritz smiled. Griffin was exactly what his baby sister needed to break her of her shell. And he knew it.

At The Cafeteria . . .
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*
Tempest caught sight of Griffin in the cafeteria, sitting at his usual table, way in the back. She also noticed, that in his hand, was a cigarette. He was cutting down, but Tempest still despised the burning feeling in her throat that the 2nd hand smoke gave her. Tempest had a minor case of asthma, so it affected her worse than normal people. She didn't have attacks that often, but she always had to keep her inhaler around in case. Griffin looked up, smiled at Tempest, and hurriedly put out his cigarette.
"How many was that?" She asked, motioning to the cigarette as she sat down.
"The 1st. I've come a long way, huh?" Griffin said, smiling.
"I still remember when you smoked 2 packs a day." The raven-haired girl nodded. Then there was silence.
"Is something bothering you?" Griffin asked, tilting his head to the side. When he did that, it reminded Tempest of his mother so much. Especially the way the light caught on his blonde, blonde hair. He could look just like Instructor Trepe when he did that.
"It's probably nothing serious, but, I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach and it's getting worse everyday. I feel like something is going to happen . . . something bad." Tempest said, twirling her hair between her fingers the way her mother always did.
"Like what?" Griffin asked, tilting her head up with his hands.
"I . . . I don't know." She said, sighing. "But if my feeling is right, it'll happen soon." Griffin released her chin and then silence fell once again. He smiled.
"How about some hotdogs, eh?" He asked. Tempest nodded and smiled faintly back. Griffin left for the lunch line and Tempest was alone.
"I wish I knew what is making me feel this way . . ." She muttered.
"Hey! Tempest!" Pepper Dincht and her brother, Rex came up to Tempest. Rex and Pepper were twins, only Pepper was a few minutes older, so, when she was mad at him, she referred to him as 'Little Brother'.
"Hi Pepper, Hi Rex." Tempest sighed.
"So, what's it feel like to be a SeeD, cadet?" Rex asked, smiling.
"Ok." Tempest said shortly.
"What's wrong with you? You seem less than thrilled for someone who just became a SeeD." Pepper said, tilting her head to the side furrowing her eyebrows.
"I'm happy but I guess I'm just tired, that's all." Tempest lied. She didn't want to think about her foreboding inkling anymore.
"Well, if you say so." Rex said, he and Pepper giving up.
"I'll see you. Destiny's depressed over her test score." Pepper giggled.
"Yeah, totally!" Rex said, going into a Destiny impression, " 'I can't believe it! I only scored a 10! After all that studying!' " Pepper and Rex both laughed at this and Tempest grinned slightly. The twins waved goodbye and left. Griffin came back a couple minutes later and they ate, talking about their experiences during the field exam.
"Move it!" Tempest and Griffin both looked to the entrance of the cafeteria and saw Maverick running towards their table, shoving anyone in her way so she get trough. Once she got to the table she was panting and out of breath.
"What is it?" Griffin asked urgently, looking his sister in the eye. Maverick held up a finger, motioning for him to let her catch her breath.
"I saw a sorceress! She's after Tempest!"
Author's Notes: I hope you enjoyed it! (I noticed that there was another story about FF8 kids and stuff with the name Tempest Leonhart, and I would like to inform you that I didn't even know it existed until a few days ago, so, even though the copy dates are different, I haven't copied, since I posted some earlier versions last year and even the year before that which have been deleted off the site since they were kind of crap.) Thanks for reading! (The few that do! Teehee!)
