"Are you sure she's alright, Doctor?" Rinoa slowly opened her eyes. her whole
body felt strained and sore.
"Yes," asserted the doctor, "She just fainted from the lack of food and sleep."
The doctor left the room.
"Thanks..." mumbled Squall. He turned around and sighed, running his hand
through his shaggy hair. When he looked up, he finally noticed Rinoa was awake.
"You're awake." Rinoa took the needle out of her wrist.
"Yup."
"...Why did you take that needle out?" asked Squall. "That clear liquid is
providing your body with nutrients."
"I hate needles," replied Rinoa listlessly. She was observing the scar on her
wrist with glazed eyes.
"Caraway?" Rinoa snapped out of her trance and realized she was bleeding.
"Got a band-aid?" asked Rinoa.
"It's somewhere around here..." said Squall, looking around the room. He
spotted the first aid kit in a corner.
"Hey, your eyes--you have dark rings around your eyes!" commented Rinoa
as Squall handed her the band-aid. She placed the band-aid on her wrist. Squall
yawned.
"Hey, what time is it? You didn't stay here overnight did you?" asked Rinoa.
She saw the blanket on the recliner and his disheveled appearance.
"..."
"You did!" exclaimed Rinoa. She smiled. The smile ached because she hadn't
smiled in such a long time...
"Wow," chuckled Rinoa as she hugged her legs close to her chest. "Most
psychiatrists would ditch their patients when something like this happens."
"..."
"Thanks...It..." Rinoa paused, contemplating whether she should let her guard
down or not. She sighed. "It means a lot to me."
The door opened and a nurse entered the room.
"Dr. Leonhart, your lunch," said the nurse, handing Squall a paper bag.
"Thank you." The nurse turned to the bed and found Rinoa.
"Oh, you're awake! I'll go inform the doct-"
"No!" The nurse turned around, confused.
"What? Why?" asked the nurse.
"I-I hate needles..." whispered Rinoa.
"Caraway, why are you so afraid of needles?" asked Squall. Rinoa didn't hear
him.

"Mommy!" called a girl. She looked into several rooms and frowned. She
noticed the room at the end of the hallway had its lights on. She ran to the room and
pushed the door to peek in.
"Mom-" The little girl found her mother with a strange man.
"Let go of me!" demanded the mother, trying to fight her way out of the
man's bone-crushing grip. The man said nothing and took something from his
pocket.
"Who do you think you are!?" screamed the mother. "What are you doing!?"
The man shoved the needle into the woman's arm and pushed down on the
syringe. After all the fluid from the syringe seeped into the woman's bloodstream,
the man took the needle out and ran out the window with a grotesque smirk.
"Mommy? Who was he?" asked the little girl as she pushed the door all the
way and stepped into the room. The mother turned to her daughter.
"Honey, wh-" Suddenly, the mother began to shake uncontrollably.
"Mommy? What's wrong, Mommy?" asked the girl, scared. The mother's eyes
turned up as blood dribbled down her chin. The girl began to tremble now.
"Mommy?" The woman lost her balance. She fell forward--right on her
daughter.
"M-Mommy!?" cried the girl under the woman. The girl struggled to get out,
but her mother was far too heavy for the girl to push away. Tears began to pour
from the girl's eyes.
"Mommy, why are you hurting me?" asked the girl. Then her eyes widened.
"Mommy...Wh-Why aren't you...breathing?" The little girl's heart pounded
rapidly.
"Mommy's dead," she whispered in a horrified voice. The girl opened her lips
and let out an ear-piercing scream that would echo in her mind forever...

Heyz! Hmmm...The first part sucks, I know, but I think I did pretty well at the end. I think it's creepy! Uh...I hope you know what I'm talking about at the end. If you haven't figured it out yet, the little girl's Rinoa. I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter, it'll probably have to last you for awhile because I have finals and tests towards the end of the month. So I think the next chapter is not coming out until next month, sorry!
Thanks for all the wonderful reviews! I couldn't believe how many reviews I've received! ^^
