Silent Screams
A/N: -stares blankly at the flashing line on Microsoft Word- Um...yea, if this chapter ends up kinda...dull...sorry.

Chapter 13
She stormed down the hallways, her long black dress floating behind her. She was now in control. She let her long, black fingernails dance across the old, dusty railings. This was her castle now, and her victims sat in the dungeon below. She cocked her head to one side, her raven hair falling to the side. She flicked her fingers softly, seeing the four of them flying to Deiling through a magical mirror. "My city will have freedom of the world, Quistis. You can't stop me," she mumbled out. "Timber will become the only city capable to live, thus, giving me the power to rule the world..." She walked closer to the mirror, staring deeply at Quistis. She was falling asleep. "You may have stolen my knight, dear Quistis, but he won't be able to protect you in your sleep. Hyne will not be able to contact you tonight, sweet Quistis." She spun away from the mirror and soon dissipated in the air. She was now in the dungeon, staring at her victims.
"Rinoa!" one of them called out. "Why are you doing this?"
"Zell, dear Zell, what you don't understand is that with this power you become hungry."
"Rinoa! This isn't right!" another shouted.
"Oh? It isn't?" she asked sweetly. "It is right! He betrayed me, not once, but twice!" she then shouted.
"Quistis, just get some sleep," Seifer mumbled out. Squall had already passed out next to him and Selphie was barely awake on the wheel.
"I can't, Seifer. I'm the only other one that can fly the Ragnarok here and Selphie's ready to pass out." Seifer shook his head.
Selphie let out a tired yawn. "Selphie'll teach me how to drive it." She smiled brightly, nodding her head.
"Well...alright..."
After she fell asleep, she entered a dreamland unlike any other she had dreamt. Beautiful flowers that blew with the wind surrounded her, sending their scents flying across the field. Quistis was beyond amazed. She looked down, seeing a flowing pink dress cascade with the wind. She smiled softly, seeing her bare feet soak in the coolness of the plants. She slowly started to walk, the bright sun bouncing off her golden hair. Yet, the sun soon faded away, blocked by menacing shrouds of black clouds. She was soon surrounded by darkness, the flowers sinking into the ground and flames erupting where they once were.
Quistis was now surrounded by fire, the heat striking her quickly. Another eruption of fire bellowed out from a crack. Soon after, the fire went back into the cracks they came from and Quistis was surrounded by shards of silver glass. From those rare glass shards, Quistis saw dark brown eyes staring at her. "You won't win," a familiar voice mumbled out. Quistis spun around, surprised to see Rinoa, dressed in a long black dress that was tight against her tiny body and her raven hair tumbled down her back, walking towards her. "You won't win at all."
"Rinoa?" Quistis called out. "What do you want?"
"To warn you. You can either stop this foolish mission, or say farewell to the ones you so deeply love." Rinoa raised her hands, the silver shards of glass forming a large mirror. "Look."
Quistis turned her head to see her friends, the closest thing she ever had to a family, strapped to the wall. Zell, Irvine, Fujin, Raijen, Headmaster Cid, Matron, and even Laguna, Kiros, and Ward were all strapped tightly to the wall. "What are you going to do with them?"
Rinoa cackled. "If you continue on with this mission, they shall die a horrible death, just as you will and this whole world."
"Why are you doing this, Rinoa!"
Her once pure, pink lips were now purple and frowning. "You stole him away from me!" Quistis quickly knew whom she was talking about. "He was my knight! Not your guardian!" she shouted. "He swore that he would help me liberate Timber, yet he never did! He chose finding your supposed dead body over the liberation of Timber!"
"Rinoa, I...," Quistis started.
"Shut it! I don't want to hear it! End this mission, Quistis! Hyne will not be able to protect you in your dreams! No one will!"
"Rinoa!" Quistis screamed. "You're insane!" Rinoa cackled. "Why would you want to kill the whole world? Just because you had to liberate Timber alone?"
"No, you stupid bitch! You took Squall away from me! Plus, the power started to make me crave even more power."
Quistis growled. "I won't let you destroy the world!" she shouted.
Rinoa grinned. "And what will you do?" Quistis leapt for Rinoa, only to fly right through her. Quistis spun around, glaring wildly at Rinoa. "This is a dream, Quistis, a dream I sent to you. You cannot hurt me!"
Quistis woke up, the sweat cascading from her brow. She looked out the window, only to see the entire city of Deiling on fire. Quistis rushed towards the door, only to feel a hand against her shoulder. She spun around, shocked. "Squall! Why didn't you wake me up?"
"We tried!" he said softly. "You were screaming Rinoa's name a thousand times and we still couldn't wake you up. What happened?"
Quistis clasped onto Squall. "She...sent me a dream. She's going to kill our friends if we don't stop this mission."
"Who?" Squall asked, worried.
"Zell, Irvine, Cid, Matron, Fujin, Raijen, Laguna, Kiros, and Ward...They were all there! I don't want any of my friends, no, my family to die!" Quistis cried out. She was in tears, grasping tightly onto Squall.
Squall brushed her hair down, staring out at the burning city of Deiling. "She killed her father already." Quistis looked up at him; no shock had struck her body. "Selphie and Seifer are waiting outside. Seems like she's got Galbadia army on her side."
Quistis hung her head. "Squall..."
He shook his head, releasing Quistis. "Let's go."
They walked outside of the Ragnarok seeing Seifer and Selphie fighting off thousands of soldiers. Quistis and Squall soon raced to their side, prepared for a long and hard battle.
