Disclaimer: Why would I write a fan-fic if I owned Square?
A/N: Hi guys! This is my first fan-fic so please don't bite my head off if
its not perfect. Please be honest so I can fix anything that I'm doing
wrong now. Thanks, so here I go.
Ch. 1: Haunting Dreams.
It's a rainy night at Balamb Garden. The rain is pattering swiftly against the windows. A large roll of thunder sounds out side of Rinoa's bedroom. A loud spike of lightning illuminates the darkness for a quick moment. Rinoa jolts up, her eyes wide and full of fear.
"Squall," she whispers silently into the darkness. "No."
Rinoa couldn't sleep the rest of the night. Her dream haunted her mind and soul. All night her dream would flash into her head like the lightning that would crash outside her room with the intensity of her thoughts. Whenever she closed her eyes her dream would come back. Repeatedly images of Squall lying in a pool of his own blood flashed into her mind. She tried to close her eyes again. Nothing. She heaved a sigh of relief. She rested easily against her pillow. Good dreams flow into her mind. She sees Squall hugging her, she remembers the first time they met, the dance they had together. Then she saw a man in gray running forcefully at Squall- she opened her eyes quickly. A small tear ran down her cheek. Slowly she turned around to her nightstand and looked at her clock. 5:45.
"The cafeteria will open soon," she thought to herself.
Slowly she got up, took a shower and got dressed. By the time she was done it was 6:14.
She walked to the cafeteria, her shoes clicked against the newly waxed floor and echoed throughout the halls. When she got there it was empty. She found a table in a back corner. She sat there, her head down, tears slowly trickling down her cheeks.
Zell walked into the practically empty room.
"Rinoa!" he said excitedly when he saw her. "Wow, your up early."
Rinoa quickly wiped her face with her sleeve, not wanting Zell to see that she was crying.
Zell ran to the table and sat in a chair across from Rinoa.
"S' up?" he said as he gave her that annoying thumbs up thing unaware that she has been crying only moments before.
"Oh, nothing," she replied trying to keep her voice from shaking. " Just wanted to get an early start today." She forced a fake smile on her face.
Zell finally realized that something wasn't right.
"Don't worry. He'll be back soon." Zell said calmly almost like he was reading her mind.
Rinoa rested her head on her arms.
"I keep having these dreams," she admitted slowly and quietly. "I don't know what to do any more."
A tear fell down her cheek. She quickly wiped it from her face, grabbed the necklace that had Squall's ring on it, and fondled it.
"Don't worry Rinoa, he'll be back. He promised, remember! Squall's not the kind of guy to break his promises," Zell encouraged her.
Rinoa looked up at Zell and smiled.
"Thanks Zell," Rinoa said with a yawn.
"How much sleep did you get last night?" Zell asked with a worried
tone.
"Not much. It seemed like whenever I closed my eyes the dreams would come back."
"Do you think that you could go to sleep now?"
"Maybe."
"Okay, I'll send Selphie to wake you up at lunch." Zell gave that weird smile with the thumbs up thingie once again. Rinoa didn't know why but she found that extremely annoying.
Rinoa walked slowly back to her dorm and kicked off her shoes. Hesitantly closed eyes and fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Zell sat in his chair. He was worried about Rinoa. A heavyset woman walked into the cafeteria wheeling large trays of breakfast corn dogs. Zell immediately sat up.
"Mmm. I love breakfast corn dogs. Almost as much as I love hot dogs," he thought out loud as he walked to the service window.
!@#$^&$ So, tell me what you think. Flames are expected. Please review. Thanks! ~Lynn~
