* Yet another chapter for all you readers! That plot is starting to form I guess... As ya can all see that I'm not very good with plots. ^-^ *
Chapter 14
Encounter Part Two
Eve walked back to her dorm room wondering what the blue aura was. It was strange...the only aura she new was the limit break aura, which tended to be gold. Eve opened the door and found Gwena gone. The area was silent as Eve walked into her little room. She locked the door and folded the blinds. She sat on the bed and dragged her father's Lion Heart out. It gleamed a perfect aqua color; it's shine reflecting itself across her face. Famous Lion Heart... why can't I break out your limit breaks? Can only my father wield you? Eve slid the blade back underneath the mattress and fell down onto her bed. The dim light in her room was enough to make her sleepy. Soon she was asleep and dreaming...
Eve found herself at a ball with hundreds of people dancing and talking. The talking sounded more like muffled laughter. She looked at her own body and noticed herself wearing a pearl white dress that ended at her knees. Yet she felt like this wasn't a dream, but a distant memory... Then she stood in the middle of the dance floor looking around to find a man by the wall drinking his beverage. He looked so familiar. She started to walk over and noticed that he looked more like her father. He smiled in her direction and held his hand toward her. His face and body began to disfigure and what seemed seconds later, now stood before her Dark Blade. She inched away from him and began to run through the endless crowds. She came up upon a mirror so large that it could reflect the whole entire ballroom. Yet the only image she saw was hers. She turned around to see people still talking and laughing behind her, but there was no image on the large and vast mirror. She turned toward the
mirror again to see herself changing. Her hair began to gray near to a silver white, yet her crimson streaks remained. Her body seemed to change as the outfit she wore turned into maroon see through material. It had no definition what so ever, it seemed to wrap around her now pale figure. Violet streaks grew across her cheeks and her nails grew sharper. She screamed at the horror she saw. Screamed so loudly that she awoke in the night sweating profusely and shaking violently.
Eve got out of bed and looked at her digital clock, five a.m. might as well start early...

Rinoa awoke to the sound of Riva crying. She fast walked into the next room adjoining hers and picked the babe up. He seemed frightened, as if a monster scared him. She began to sing to him and after a half hour he fell asleep. This brought back so many memories... Rinoa sang the same song to Eve when she was a little girl. Now that Eve had run off, things began to go hectic. If Squall hadn't been so hard on her and had let her train for the joy of it...none of this would ever have happened. She walked out onto her balcony and watched out for late shooting stars. Would nothing be ever the same as they were before? These weird things that keep happening...is it starting all over again? The GF's chose three children for what? What would make them choose?
Rinoa glanced at the clock and yawned. The early morning breeze blew by and she shivered. She quickly slipped into bed and snuggled close to the peaceful lion.

During the afternoon, Eve went to the cafeteria to grab a cool drink. Her training was slowly improving and with the help and teachings of the Weapon's Master, she felt her talent finally begin to grow. The afternoon was a sweltering one. Everybody was seeking shade and cool air, but Eve worked herself until she was dry in the throat and her muscles hurt mildly. Zell was actually surprised to see her still fighting the arena. She remembered him saying that if she went on like that there would be no more monsters in the training center left for anybody else! Eve smiled at the compliment and drank some more water.
The microphone came on and the headmaster began to speak. "Students and teachers, I have an announcement to make. The SeeD Exam will be coming up for all you seventeen year olds, so study and be prepared. After the exam has been taken, we will go on traditionally as we have before, we will have a ball. I'll repeat again for students taking the exam: the written exam will take place in your classrooms on Friday morning and the field exam will take place the next day. Good day everyone and study hard."
Several people in the cafeteria began to chatter and talk about the upcoming exams and the ball. Eve sighed and wondered if she could take the exams. Yet she was only sixteen and she wasn't ready, not now anyway. She tilted her head back and looked at through the skylight. The sky was an ocean itself, swirling with little puffs of clouds here and there. She felt the table shake and she looked down to see Gwena and Dark Blade sit down next to her. Eve was looking at them very crossed, she was a loner and that was it. She didn't want people hanging around with her.
"Hey Dava, so...um...you going to the ball?" Dark Blade asked without looking at her. She saw his plan and smiled, even though he was a year older then her she didn't care. He was afraid of her a little bit and she didn't like her men that way.
"Is that a yes or no?" he continued when he was answered with silence. Eve stood up and pulled out her Silveraine, examining its sharp edge; the sun's rays flickered quickly across the flat.
"No." Eve said and she left the table and walked over to the counter to buy another bottle of water. Blade was confused and so he followed and leaned on the counter surface.
"Well, if you plan to change your mind, give me a call or better yet you can tell Gwena, since you two are room mates." Blade said. Eve turned around and looked up at him and glared, yet she was surprised when he leaned over and kissed her lips. Instinctively she grabbed his jaw and left hand; she pulled him over her and slammed him onto the ground. He lay there stunned in disbelief as Eve left with her water bottle.
Blade lay there stunned and waited patiently for his head to stop spinning. When he got his focus back he saw Vanyel, Dylan, Gwena, and Troy staring down at him, then Dylan grabbed Blades arm and pulled him up. Blade swore he heard a crack in his back and then he noticed Gwena laughing.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"I can't believe you just did that! Oh I wish I had my camera!" Gwena said between fits full of laughter.
"So...plus, I think it's love at first sight..." Blade said in a dreamy tone.
"Give it up, no one can claim that wild one." Troy said.
"Well we'll never know if I don't keep trying." Blade said as he walked over to a chair and sat down.
"What do you see in her man? She's cute I guess, but really, what?" Dylan asked.
"I don't know, she's beautiful, not just cute, she's absolutely beautiful. Her blue eyes are like stars and her face is like a porcelain doll..." he was cut off by Van.
"Hold it right there, you remind me of my father! Irvine has a title, and that is being the "Lady's Man." Seems like your going poetic on us." He said.
"Am I?" Blade asked. Everyone nodded and he smiled.
* * *
Eve stormed off toward her room, thinking of all the gil she would have to spend to clean her lips and mouth from that idiotic and insane man. She stopped in the hallway and realized something that shouldn't have been. What was that emotion I felt back there...I actually...NO! NEVER!!!!!!!!!!! Eve what are you thinking!
She began walking again and turned right down her corridor only to smack into her teacher. Eve growled and walked past her ignoring the instructors face and feelings. As Eve walked into her dorm, Edea shook her head and saw Rinoa come out of the room right across from the young woman's quarters.
"What's wrong Edea?" Rinoa asked.
"Oh, nothing, one of the students...she's a very bad tempered girl." Matron answered.
"I wonder why?"
"Who knows, dear. She's a lone wolf and everyone stays away from her. She reminds me of Squall when he was a teenager."
"Was Squall really that bad?" Rinoa said with a giggle.
"Oh, I can't tell you all the details, you'll have to ask Cid and maybe Quistis if you ever see her again." They heard a door open and they looked toward that direction.
Eve opened the door slightly and saw something, which she dared not see. Rinoa and Edea Kramer talking and then looking towards her direction. She slammed the door and locked it. That was close...too close!!!
Rinoa looked confused and then turned to look at Matron. She looked back and shrugged.
"Maybe I should go talk to her..."
"I don't know but go ahead." Edea answered, "I'm really worried about that child." Rinoa nodded and walked over to the entrance door. She knocked twice and there was no answer. Rinoa tried opening the door by turning the knob but it was locked.
"Hello, whoever you are please come out. We want to speak with you." Silence.
"Use your magic." Edea whispered. Rinoa nodded and cast a small spell at the lock. Seconds later the door swung open to an empty room. There were three other doors across the kitchen and living room area. Both doors were open and one was locked, that was the one Rinoa walked up to.
Eve stood in her small room afraid of being revealed to her mother...if Rinoa knew she was here it would ruin all her plans. The only way out was through the window but the way down the Garden was a steep one. Yet she had no choice, but to escape through the window. She grabbed Lion Heart from underneath and opened the window. A cool breeze swept through and she jumped...
