Nail in my hand from my creator.
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface.
Disclaimer: I don't own final fantasy 8.
I full on week after John's psycho return.
The Seifer, Irvine and Rinoa sat at a random cafeteria table, waiting for everyone else to retrieve their disgusting food and join them.
"So whatever happened to Rinoa the nun?" Irvine asked as he poked at his spaghetti, it looked a little dodgy.
Rinoa let out a little giggle and took a quick sip of her juice.
"Off that. I was reading up about it on the internet and I decided that I can help people in better ways then shutting the entire world out." Rinoa replied.
"For example?" Seifer enquired.
"Well, I was thinking about becoming a social worker or something."
"Which is a very respectable job Rinoa." Quistis cut in as she sat down with her tray.
Rinoa smiled and continued eating silently.
Soon Selphie Squall and Zell joined them, making the cliché complete.
Rinoa...
Rinoa closed her eyes and tried to ignore the voice inside her head. She'd neglected in telling anyone about her father inside her, not out of fear of her head imploding, but for the fact that they might think that she was starting to go insane. She was starting to think she was going insane.
"Rinny, whats wrong?" Selphie asked.
Rinoa opened her eyes and smiled gently at Selphie.
"Nothing, I've just got a bit of a headache."
Rinoa cupped a handful of water in her hands and splashed it upon her face. She looked up at her wet dripping face and quickly looked away. Whenever she looked at her reflection she would see her fathers outline around her. Like a cloud or something.
'Get a grip Rinoa, your just upset because he died,' Rinoa thought to herself.
Well actually Rinoa...
Rinoa sighed and walked slowly towards one of the square boxes they call toilets.
I'm doing this because you still need me, and as long as you still need me, I will remain in you forever.
'Why can't you just leave me in peace?'
... Have you ever been to hell Rinoa? I can't imagine you have. I'd rather be locked inside your mind then have to go back there.
'You went to hell?'
Apparently murder is a hell worthy trespass.
'Apparently...'
Squall felt his sides burning in pain and sweat ran down his face like water down a waterfall. He was currently doing laps around the field, as were the rest of his classmates. He saw Zell running in front of him, easily beating him.
'Fucking show off.' Squall thought to himself.
Zell was a natural athlete. He'd taken martial arts since he was born and dabbled in kickboxing and k1 fighting.
"C'mon Squall; I know you can run faster than that!" Zell called from over his shoulder.
Squall glared at him but continued at his steady pace.
'Slow and steady wins the race.' Squall thought.
Half an hour later.
"You got your ass kicked Squall." Zell laughed.
"I wasn't aware that it was a competition." Squall barked back.
"Whoa... psycho."
Zell tugged on his shirt and pulled it over his head. He grabbed his bag and walked steadily out of the changing room. It was the end of the day and he couldn't wait to get home. Then she came along again.
Zell tilted his head to the side and sighed. Her hair was out today, very unusual. The light reflected off it perfectly and for once Zell was close enough to notice her deep, chocolate brown eyes.
He saw her continue walking past him, giggling and whatnot with her friends. Then she looked casually over her shoulder and smiled at him.
Zell waved back and grinned. He waited for her to turn the corner then started doing a spastic victory dance.
Stop ignoring me Rinoa. We are meant to be together, now we can be together forever. Wherever you will go, so will I!
'Would you just shut up! You're ruining everything!' Rinoa thought maliciously as she waited for Quistis beside her car.
Tut tut tut Rinoa, I did not raise you to speak to me like that.
'I don't need you, I'm happy without you so why are you still here?'
Don't say that Rinoa!
'I'm fine without you, I DON'T NEED YOU!' Rinoa screamed in her mind.
LIES!
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Rinoa screamed out loud.
Rinoa clutched her head in her hands and collapsed to the ground.
Most of the student faculty were staring at her with their mouths agape.
Rinoa's eyesight was plunged into black and she could no longer hear what was going on around her. She could slightly feel the cold concrete underneath her jeans but other than that reality seemed very far away.
"Whoa, did you hear whats happening out in the parking lot?" Irvine heard one kid exclaim.
"Nah, what? A fight?" the other said excitedly.
"Not even, Squall's missus is having an epileptic fit or something."
"Ow we can't miss this."
Irvine grabbed his bag and sprinted out towards the parking lot as fast as he could.
When he got out there he couldn't even see Rinoa, but he could see a large circle around Quistis's car, so he assumed that's where she was.
Irvine pushed his way through the crowd until finally he could see Rinoa. She was lying in the gutter with her eyes rolled back in her head and was vibrating and twitching furiously.
Irvine saw a steady line coming through the crowd and soon saw Squall. He hesitated for a second before he ran up to Rinoa and cradled her head in his lap.
Pretty soon the entire group were there. Know one actually had any idea of what to do.
Rinoa felt herself he lifted up slightly and then be set down on with something comfortable to rest her head on.
'Whats that?' she thought desperately.
She felt a hand start smoothing down her hair.
'...Squall...'
As soon as Quistis turned up, the mood changed drastically.
"Don't just fucking stand there someone call and ambulance!" she ordered loudly to anyone who would listen.
As soon as this was said Rinoa's body started levitating. Her arms, legs and head still dangled but her body was heading straight up.
"What the fuck..." Seifer muttered.
Rinoa's body continued to rise until she was at least three metres in the air. Her body started gyrating violently till something ripped out of her chest. It looked like some sort of black cloud but just as it evaporated it made a resemblance of Caraways face and vanished.
Rinoa hung in the air for a little while until she plummeted to the ground. She landed on the top of Quistis's car, bounced slightly, fell on the boot and finally landed on the concrete.
Squall rushed to her side and felt her pulse. She was alive.
Rinoa's eyes fluttered open and she looked around at her surroundings frantically. She didn't know where she was, she couldn't recognise anything around her, until her eyes settled on the sleeping Selphie beside her and she calmed down.
"Selphie." Rinoa said groggily.
Selphie sat up and stretched she cracked her back and looked at Rinoa.
Selphie leapt out of her seat and engulfed Rinoa in a bone shattering hug.
"Rinoa! I didn't know if you were ever going to wake up! My god you should've seen the wreck that Squall was! He was a mess! He's ganna be so happy that your awake. Well he won't show it but I bet he will! We finally got him to go home not that long ago, I said that I'd stay and watch you." Selphie rambled.
"How long have I been asleep for?" Rinoa asked.
Selphie thought about the question before replying, "About four days."
"Four days?"
But any and all of Rinoa's queries were stopped as Zell entered the room.
He grinned wholeheartedly and started rambling on about how happy Squall was going to be, just as Selphie had.
"Umm, where is Squall?" Rinoa asked sheepishly.
"He's at Seifer's I think. Seifer's been full on the only one that Squall's been able to talk to. I'll never understand that relationship." Zell replied.
"I think it's more like a brother thing, y'know. Like they hate each other, yet will always be there for each other." Selphie said.
"Seifer's relationships with everyone are like that, I don't even think Quistis likes him." Zell laughed.
"I like him." Rinoa said softly.
Selphie giggled a little and replied, "We're only joking honey."
Rinoa had a look of enlightenment on her face and smiled.
Rinoa suddenly felt a feeling totally unknown to her, pure, untouched, freedom. For once in her life, she was actually free. She felt like shit, but she was free.
Rinoa raised her head and closed her eyes. She felt warm tears slid slowly down her cheeks, but didn't bother wiping them. Because for once they weren't tears of anguish, they were tears of unpolluted happiness.
Wow, this chapter wasn't very good; I could've put more detail into it. But oh well, whats done is done.
I'm running out of things to do to people. Looks like its ganna have to end soon. sigh but I don't want it to end! Its not over yet! I've still gotta hook Zell up with that chick... and figure out a name for her. You could help if you want, her name's sposta start with T or something.
