Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy 8 or its characters, once again I am
merely borrowing them to tell a story. All FF8 characters and the FF8 world
belong to SquareSoft (Now SquareEnix). All new characters however belong to
me.
Author's note: This fic is the sequel to an earlier one of mine called Jealousy. It'd help if you read that one first as it introduces the main characters of this fic. If you've already read Jealousy then you'll know what to expect or maybe not. Anyways this short prologue is basically half the epilogue to Jealousy... a quick passage to remind you of what happened and set up the plot for this fic.
They arrived outside of Balamb Garden to an unexpected welcome. All around the airship SeeDs and cadets alike were rushing forward yelling and screaming at Squall in anger and demand as they walked down the ramp.
Jayson could see Zell Dinct rushing forward his face pale with stress and panic.
'What the hell is going on?' Squall said as he and Rinoa walked out ahead.
'Looks like some sort of riot.' Jayson said softly.
'A riot? Why would they riot?' Quistis murmured.
Zell drew closer looking at Squall and the others in relief.
'Thank Hyne you're back...' he said rapidly.
'What's happened?' Squall demanded wary of the crowding mob.
'There's been a couple of murders...' Zell said softly.
All the girls gasped in unison.
'That's still no reason to riot...' Jayson said.
Zell gulped and rubbed his hands nervously. 'They're like this because it looks like Seifer was the one that did them... they want him dead.' He told them.
'WHAT!?' the others all yelled in unison whilst the mob still raged.
