out!
Disclaimer: I own Final Fantasy 8! HaHa! Just kidding!
"Let's see how to begin," she began glumly. "My mother was Julia Heartily and my father was General Caraway. As you know my sister was Rinoa Heartily. When I was about four my mother took me with her to a pub; I don't remember where, I was too little. Suddenly I heard a scream coming out of a nearby forest.
"Wait a minute," he rudely cut in. "What was your mom thinking, bringing you to a pub!"
"She had to get some kind of message from the owner. Anyway, I heard a scream coming from the forest and I ran to find out what it was. What I found there was not pleasant. Adel had murdered a defenseless old woman right before my very eyes. The old woman's ghost gave me a gift and I was cursed with this horrible life."
"So some old lady's ghost gave you some gift and now you have to kill yourself," he grumbled. "Very sketchy. You were saying?"
"Ah yes. As I grew up I noticed how strong and full of stamina I was. My father even bought me a gun blade, and then shipped me off to Galbadia garden. But then I noticed all these strange visions I had. I could see glimpses of the future and I could travel outside my body without being seen."
"So that's your gift?" he asked. "That's the 'curse' you bear?"
"Shut up," she screamed. "There's a lot more to it than that. Do you know what it's like to have every sorceress in Gaia after you? No you don't, so shut up!"
"Hey Angelina, sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset. I do have one last question though. Who was this woman I ran into in Timber? She claimed to know you."
"Woman," Angelina sparked. "What did she look like?"
"Well she had tan skin and medium curly, black hair," he explained. Her eyes widened.
"Neibia," she hissed. "You saw Neibia!" He nodded.
"Yeah, do you know her?" She laughed happily at that remark.
"Yes of course I know her! She one of my good friends, why?"
"No reason. Anyway how did you meet her?"
"I met Neibia when I went to her shumi village. It was after my friends were killed," she snarled lightly so Seifer wouldn't notice.
"Neibia's a shumi?" he exclaimed. "That's funny cause I thought shumis were little yellow people." She rolled her eyes.
"Pure shumis, yes. Neibia is only half shumi; therefore she retains her humanity." He raised an eyebrow.
"How can she only be half human? In order for that to happen wouldn't her mom or dad have to be purely human?" She nodded at his question.
"Yes, although I don't know all the details. Apparently her mother was human and her father was shumi."
"Does she evolve like all the other shumis?" he asked.
"Kind of. She'll spend one life as a human and the other as a shumi. Unfortunately she won't be able to become an elderess or a moomba."
"So she'll just die?" She sadly nodded.
"Unfortunately yes."
"Okay, thanks for the info. Wait a minute. Angelina, are you okay? Her eyes had taken on a blood red color that was insanely familiar.
"Oh hyne, Adel!" he shouted. She cackled evily.
"Did you think that you would get away from me young Angelina?" she boomed. Seifer stared in shock and disbelief.
"No, please leave them out of it. Don't kill them," Angelina managed to sputter. She had gained control of her body for that one moment, and then Adel stole it back.
"Ha ha ha. I'm not going to kill them Angelina," she purred. "I'm going to kill you!" Suddenly her eyes rolled back and she dropped lifeless to the ground.
"Angelina," Seifer screamed as he shook her. "Please don't be dead. Please don't leave me like this."
"Seifer," she weakly replied.
"Angelina? You're okay!"
"No I'm not," she coughed. "I'm sorry I'm going to have to leave you like this. I love you." With that she shuddered and lay still.
"No!" he screamed loudly. "Angelina please come back!" Zell after hearing that noise ran into Seifer's room.
"What the hell Seifer?" he yelled. "What the hell's your problem? Jeez, can't believe I'm even in here." Seifer turned around angrily.
"Shut up chicken wuss!" he roared. "Can't you see I'm trying to mourn here?"
"Over what, your sad love life?" Then, upon seeing Angelina's lifeless body he flipped out. "Holy shit! Seifer what the hell did you do to Angie! Did you kill her?"
"No you moron," he yelled. "Adel killed her!"
"Adel? Man this is serious. We'd better tell Cid."
"Seifer is what Zell tells me true?" Cid asked calmly. The entire orphanage gang was there. Even Edea took the time to come up to his office.
"Yes headmaster," he solemnly replied. Cid sighed heavily. Edea put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"I was afraid this would happen," he moaned. "I knew that Adel was after Angelina when she first came her. I fear Adel will try to resurrect herself using Angelina's body."
"Didn't she already try that?" Seifer asked. "Didn't she fail?" Cid nodded.
"I believe she did."
"Then she'll probably fail this time too. Angelina is strong willed; Neibia told me that." The group all gave him weird glances.
"Who's this Neibia?" Squall questioned.
"She's one of Angelina's close friends," he answered quietly.
"Hey maybe she can help Angie," Selphie chirped. "Seifer where does she live?"
"I first saw her in Timber but that place is destroyed. So I'm guessing we should start looking for her in the Shumi village."
"Shumi village?" Squall asked. "Is Angelina's friend a shumi?"
"She's half shumi actually."
"Okay you guys so what's the plan?" Irvine muttered. "Are we saving Angie or what?"
"We are," Squall announced. "Although she did technically kill my wife, I still believe that Adel had possessed Rinoa. I could tell there was something different about Rinoa and now I know why. We'll leave tommorow at 800 hours," The group nodded in agreement.
"Very well. You all will depart from Balamb city for Shumi village tomorrow at 800 hours. Best of luck, dismissed." The group trudged out of his office. Seifer decided to check on Angelina in the infirmary.
"Hello Seifer," Dr. Kadowaki greeted warmly. "Are you looking for Angelina?"
"Yes I am," he replied sincerely. "Where is she?"
"Right over here," she pointed to the bed by the window. Seifer knelt by her bed and took her hand. He was about to cry but remembered that someone would see him. 'I gotta be strong. Rajin and Fujin are gone so I have to be strong.'
He spent three hours just sitting there, holding her hand until Dr. Kadowaki interrupted.
"Seifer it's almost curfew," she explained gently. "You should go back to your dorm and get some rest." He nodded and slumped back to his room. He then stripped down to his boxers and went to sleep where he was greeted by a terrible nightmare.
He was floating endlessly in a black void. Everything was silent save for a women's voice.
"Seifer," the voice wailed.
"Angie," he called outta the voice. "Is that you?"
"Yes," she called back. "Please help me."
"Don't worry I'm coming!" he yelled.
"Hurry, before she comes!"
He desperately swam through the darkness to try to reach her in time. He was just about to touch her, when she completely disappeared.
"No," he screamed. "Angelina!"
A woman cackling filled the silent void. He immediately recognized whose it was!
"Poor Seifer," Adel laughed. "Always losing."
"Shut up Adel," he yelled, "What have you done with her?"
"I haven't done anything to her yet," she purred. "But I soon will." Seifer screamed in outrage as the dream ended.
"Seifer it's okay," Quistis gently shook him. "It was just a dream." He stood up.
"Hyne did you hear me?" Quistis nodded.
"I wouldn't be surprised if the entire garden you; what happened?"
"Nothing," he muttered. "Just had a bad dream."
"Okay Seifer," she replied before leaving. "Oh and you might want to wear something more than your boxers for this mission," she giggled and left.
Seifer sighed while throwing on his clothes. 'That dream was just way too weird. I wonder though. Is Adel going to do something to Angelina?' He had to go find Neibia. Maybe she could help.
Note: Ta dah, chapter 8! Although, I couldn't have gotten this far without my reviewers' support, thanks guys for everything. R&R!
