Chapter four: A new identity and a glimpse of the past

(In Winhill)

In Angeline's house.........

"Alright! The rain has stopped!" Angeline said as she closed the blinds of her window near the sofa where the young man sat. He just glanced at the window then bowed his head down again.

"I think I know what to call you." Mrs. Furnival said as she entered the living room.

"Really? That's great! What do we call him?" Angeline exclaimed.

"...Dylan"

"Mrs. Furnival, isn't Dylan the name of your grandson?" Angeline looked at Mrs.Furnival with sad eyes.

"Yes, Dylan was his name."

"Why Dylan?" The young man asked as he looked up to face Mrs. Furnival eye to eye.

The old woman sighed as she sat down near the young man.

"........."

You remind me of my grandson so much." Mrs. Furnival confessed.

"In what way?" the young man asked with curiosity in his eyes.

"...Your eyes look the same and your facial expressions are almost the same as his... and it doesn't matter, he's ... long gone." The old stopped as she tried to hold back the tears that welled up. Angeline placed a hand on the old lady's shoulder. The young man looked at her with eyes of sympathy.

" My name will be Dylan, huh?"

The old lady and Angeline just nodded.

".........I may not be Dylan your grandson but... you can call me Dylan, your grandson." The young man said as he patted the old lady's hand and gave her a small smile.

"Thank you Dylan." Mrs. Furnival replied.

Wow, I didn't know he was such a nice guy Angeline thought as she smiled at the sight when Mrs. Furnival hugged Dylan.

After the trio's little chat in Angeline's house. They have agreed that Dylan will live in Mrs. Furnival's house. Dylan offered that he will work in the flower shop to help out the old lady. Mrs. Furnival took up his offer and so Dylan is now Mrs. Furnival's assistant. Angeline is Dylan's helper, she helps him try to remember his past by showing him things and ask for his reactions and she will record them. Within a week Dylan got accustomed to the place, he was introduced to everyone in Winhill and he was accepted.

In time Dylan developed a personality that always smile and kind, helpful, funny, caring and extremely nice.

One day Mrs. Furnival, Dylan and Angeline agreed to pick some flowers in the sunny afternoon.

"Is this alright Mrs. Furnival?" Dylan said as he went to the old lady while he was holding bunch of freshly picked flowers.

"Yes, It's alright dear. My, you are a fast learner aren't you? In three days you have absorbed everything I taught you about proper plant care." Mrs. Furnival smiled at the young man who scratched the back of his head while smiling.

Suddenly a piercing scream was heard.

"What was that?" Dylan jumped in surprise.

"I don't know but it sounded like Angeline!" Mrs. Furnival exclaimed.

The two ran towards the source of the scream.

Angeline is seen lying on the flower field while a bite bug was flying around her.

Just when the bite bug struck at Angeline a figure jumped between the monster and the damsel.

It was Dylan, he held a metal rod and assumed his fighting pose. (As in the one as he held his gunblade in battles.)

"Tch. Stupid bite bugs." Dylan muttered under his breath while his expression became the 'Squall' expression when fighting. He lunged at the bite bug and killed it in one blow.

Mrs. Furnival and Angeline stood in awe as Dylan fiercely glared down on the carcass of the bug as he rested the pole on his right shouler.

"How did you do that?" Angeline said while still dumbfounded by Dylan's display of strength.

"Do what?" Dylan said as his expressions of Squall faded and turning into a small smile and eyes of concern.

"... Nothing. Let's just help Angeline back to Winhill." Mrs. Furnival said as she broke from the awe.

"Oh... okay, Let's go!" Dylan said as he smiled at the two women and helped Angeline stand.
