Winter's Fall

* * *

'Fighting in the halls again? Zell, Seifer, come with me, I assume you know the way?

There they go again, those two are always fighting, and they could practically be brothers, both with blond hair. Seifer's flat and short, Zell's spiky with gravity defying bangs, both have really short tempers, attention spans, and both have a habit of breaking the rules.

Anyways, I'm Winter, I work, (ok, I volunteer) in Balamb Garden's library, and I'm also a SeeD. I am lucky enough to travel with Squall's group, (he's a really popular student, whether he likes it or not) which consists of: Selplie, Irvine, Rinoa, Quistis, Squall, and Zell. Oops, here they come; I suppose their looking for Zell, well.

'Hey, Winter, you seen Zell anywhere?'

'Yea, I did, he and Seif were fighting again.'

'Geez, again? Squally, what y\are we going to do with him?'

'.Dunno'

'Well we better, like, go get him'

(All)'Quistis can!'

(Grumbles)'Fine, fine'

It's amazing how they can be such great friends, well.I have a feeling.I should go get my camera, and my spell book.I've got a bad feeling about this though

'Hey Squall, where we going this time?'

'.Dunno'

'Cid went and called us to his office, told us to get the whole gang together.Hello ladies'

We all basically stopped and made faces at Irvine, and the girls rolled their eyes and giggled.

'Well, I'll meet you all in Cid's office in.10 minutes?'

'O.K., well, see you there.'

As I waked the path to my dorm, I thought about what I just heard, which wasn't a lot so.I thought about my new spell, Holy (darkness attack, mortals don't know about it) Well, well, well.look who's waiting for me.Zell ^_^

'Hey Winter, where's the others?'

'Up in Cid's, you wanna walk with me?'

'Yea sure, I'd love to.'

It's difficult acting like a mortal, Zell and his friends know what I'm talking about.I opened the door to my room, clothes were strewn all over the floor, and random books littered the furniture, my bed was messy an unkempt, all and all, my room was a mess.

'O.K., where did I leave my spell book?'

I held out my hand and it flew into my open palm, I held out my other hand, and my camera flew into that palm, then we left, Zell commenting on the mess.

'Better not let Quistis see that'

'Yea really'

The trip up to Cid's office was uneventful.as usual, so, to lighten the mood, and make time pass.we talked about our favorite foods.

'Bandersnatch's taste way better then bite bugs, their blood is more rich'

'True, but Ruby Dragons are the best, warm blood, with a hint of peppermint'

This conversation was held in the elevator, where no mortal could overhear us, as we stepped out of the elevator, I noticed a change.

'There's one extra.who's the new blood? Or lack there of?'

'Ah Winter, Zell, there you are; now I can explain the mission. The eight of you are to investigate some rather unusual activity in the Galbadian Continent, in a small village named Winhill. Reports of powerful magik, mass destruction of surrounding bush area, and decreasing monster population, you are to infintrate the area collect Intel, and send a report A.S.A.P.'

'So rehearsed.'

After sitting through this.enlightening speech, Cid turned to Zell and I,

'Winter, Zell, this is Vince, he is like you, please welcome him into your tight-knit group and treat him like your own '

We nodded to each other, Vince looked strangely framilar.I couldn't place my finger on it.but he looks like someone I know.

'With that, you may go. Good luck, and remember, failure is NOT an option'

We walked out of the room, talking amongst each other; I fell back and walked with Vince

'So, what's your story?'

'Huh? What do you mean?'

'How'd you become an immortal?'

'Oh, well.it's a long story and we don't hav.'

'So what? We have all the time in the world, and then some'

'Well, you first'

'Fine then'
