Shattered Reality

Chapter 1: So It Begins….

-Black Wings-

The blonde rolled over onto her back, a sheen of sweat plastered on her face.

-Red skin-

A pant and again another roll, this time rolling onto her right side.

-A mask-

At this the alarm in the blonde woman's room went off. Slipping a hand out from under the covers, that were somehow still covering her body with the way she tossed and turned, she reached over and turned off the alarm and briefly looked at the clock to see what time it was 6:30am. Sighing she pulled herself from out of her bed, still a little groggy from grading papers. Then again her dreams kept her awake also.

Moving out of the bed to go take a shower she grabbed a dark blue towel and what she was going to wear to teach her classes, a peach battle suit.

'When am I not dressed in this?' flashed through Quistis' mind as she opened the door to the adjacent shower room in her bedroom. One of the perks of being a teacher, complete and utter privacy.

Setting the shower temperature to her liking she stepped in and washed off. Quistis' mind was not on the day ahead of her yet it was on her dream instead. Why was she dream about things like this? Letting her mind wonder she found out she could not remember that much about it, all she could seem to remember was her years here at Balamb Garden. Even the memories of her being 12 years old and training here were hazy. She let all that be erased from her mind as she stepped out of the shower.

Moving to the sink she proceeded to brush her teeth. Images of her dreams hit her again and she didn't know what to do. They all seemed to hide a secret, one that wasn't an easy task to figure out. All this happened since her 18th birthday several months ago. What could possibly be waiting for her, as she became an adult?

Banishing all these thoughts from her mind she proceed to dress in her combat outfit. Sitting on her bed she put on her boots her hair wet and clinging to her back. Sighing she grabbed her towel and quickly towel dried her hair out. Walking back to the bathroom she proceeded to comb her hair out until it was straight enough to her liking. Looking herself once over in the mirror she saw that her hair was slightly violet and blue.

"What the hell" she said no louder then a whisper looking on the bathroom counter she saw a clip in which she did her hair in a French Twist. Something she was well known for, that and her ponytail that she wore once every blue moon. Making sure that none of the unnatural hair was showing she proceed to leave her dormitory. Not before grabbing her Chain Whip, she'll figure out this mess a little later.

The Cafeteria was empty she thought as she took a quick glace around. It was around 7:30 and most of the time it was almost filled to capacity with students rushing to cram for exams and such events. Then a though hit her today was the day future SeeD candidates were going to the Fire Cavern for the first part of the exam in the field. She knew that her class would most likely pass this portion of the exam, but in the real battlefield she knew off the back who was going to Fail.

"Seifer Almasy" he was one of best students and the only other person who was eligible for being a child prodigy around the same time as she. He was only 2 months younger then her and they were both here for the same amount of time but she could follow orders while him on the other hand would let his temper get in the way. He was smart and yet so hotheaded it wasn't funny but it was rather odd how come he couldn't just bite his tongue and follow orders for about 3 hours just to become a SeeD then he could openly display his anger anytime he felt. Then again Seifer would never hold his tongue for anyone not her or Even Head Master Cid. The rivalry he had with Squall was laughable so if Squall passed and he didn't she knew he would be Furious.

Squall the name made her heart twitch the quite brown hair boy had captured her heart in more ways then he and she could have imagine. The young gunblade user was almost the polar opposite of Seifer. Where ever Seifer seemed to fail Squall seemed to excel and visa-versa. Maybe that is why they seemed to have such a heated rivalry and seemed always out to be better then the other. Then again Squall was quiet reserved and did not seem to care about anyone but himself. He had no friends from her P.O.V. he never hung out with anyone and did not seem to care what other people thought of him, she tried numerous time to talk to him but all she got was cold stares or he just wouldn't talk back to her acting as if he did that she would go away and leave him alone. "The perfect mercenary " that is exactly what he was no matter which way you sliced it he was.

Snapping out of her trance like thoughts she walked over to the front of the line which was no more then 3 people and got her cup of coffee. This helped her to wake up and become more alert for the upcoming day. Taking the cup she headed for the 2nd floor know that class would start in 50 min and that it would pass quicker then she would know. Plus she needed time to prepare for today's lessons.

"Another one down!!" the blonde yelled, pumping his fist up into the air and laughing as the bomb fell disappearing.

"Good work Zell." Instructor Waters said as he patted Zell on the back. His hands hitting sweat and he quickly with drew his hands wiping it on his pants to get rid of the sweat. He'll have to remember not to touch the blonde again. He did not like to touch other people's sweat.

"Thanks!" Zell grabbed his shirt from where he threw it on the floor and held it in his hands. When he had first arrived in the fire cavern he heard it was hot but not this hot. The blonde was dressed in his blue jeans his vest and his black shirt with blue flames on the arms. Well at least he was after he wined he just took off his shirt to try to cool down a little the young martial artist knew that if were to fight fully clothed then he would probably die of heat exhaustion so he rather just run around and fight topless. Then again he had a choice of where he wanted to take this portion of the exam, he wanted to come here the other ones he could have chosen from were the thunder cavern where the G.F. Quezacotl lurked, the ice Cavern where the G.F. Shiva was or The fire cavern  where the G.F. of Fire roamed. The choices Burn to death, get shocked to death, or freeze to death decisions, decisions. He chose to burn and he regretted to just because of the intense heat. Oh well at least he was close to the end.

"There he is!!" Instructor Water shouted as he spotted Ifrit the Guardian and G.F. of Fire.

"Let's Rock!!" Zell Shouted tossing his shirt and vest on the floor and rushing to hit Ifrit with a quick 1-2 punch junctioned with the Spell blizzard to his attack. He was glad that before he came here they decided to stock up on a lot of ice spell. Jumping back from Ifrit he watched as Instructor Waters finished casting the spell for Shiva and watched her perform "Diamond Dust" Covering his eyes to prevent the ice shards from scratching them. The spell was done and Ifrit seemed to be mad rushing at Instructor Waters he slashed him with his claws jumping back Instructor Waters had cuts from where the claw seemed to hit Him but he seemed to be fine.

"Blizzard" Zell shouted and closed his eyes concentrating. He was extremely skilled in magic and wanted to make this spell as powerful as he could. Opening his eyes he saw a huge ice block fall onto the beast. He roared and slumped down on his side panting.

Instructor Waters summoned Shiva again and she seemed sadder then usual ash she screamed out Diamond Dust. The Mighty G.F. Fell and the battle was won. A red jewel appeared and floated to Zell's hand.

"Well that takes care of that." Zell said "I'll see you back at garden!!" Zell began to run off for the entrance of the Cave.

"Wait Zell you forgot…." Instructor Waters trailed off as he saw the blonde seemingly fly toward the entrance "Clothes." Sighing He pick up Zell's clothes junctioning Enc-None as he went along.

"Has anybody seen Squall" Quistis said as she noticed the boy not present in class.

"I believe that he's indisposed at the moment." Seifer said with a rather vicious chuckle.

'What does he mean by that?' before she had the chance to ask him the phone in her classroom rung.

"Yes" she said while picking it up

"Please report to the infirmary " the voice on the other end said" I have something that belongs to you"

"Okay I'll be there in a moment" she said" class please excuse me I have something to attend to please study quietly or just don't blow up my class"

"Yes ma'am" was said but a few people mostly trepies and a few other people said even one sarcastic voice. She knew right away that was Seifer and allowed a small smile to grace the corners of her lips.

Leaving her classroom she caught the elevator and walked to the infirmary. When she arrived there Dr.Kadowaki greeted her as she walked through the door.

"He's in there!!" the doctor said.

Walking through the door she saw squall on the bed. Her heart fluttered and she mentally calmed it down.

Taking in a deep breath she said" I knew it'd be either you or Seifer! Come on, lets go Today's the field exam."

Walking out of the infirmary she quickly stated, "Squall is there something on your mind"

"Not really" they both said in unison…. The blonde instructor laughed at her student.

"What's so funny?"

"Funny? No, no it's not that! I'm just happy. I feel like I'm beginning to understand my student a little. That's all."

"I'm more complex than you think."

"Then tell me. Tell me more about yourself"

"It's none of your…"

"Business." She finished for him.

As she walked back into her classroom she quickly said "Good Morning. Class" with a little emphasis on the class. "Lets start with today's schedule. There seem to have been some rumors flying around yesterday… yes the SeeD candidates will begin later this afternoon. Those not participating and those who failed last week's written exam are to remain here in study hall. Field exam participants will have free time until the exam. Just be sure you're in top condition. Meet in hall at 1600 hours. I'll announce the team assignments there. Any Questions? Oh and Seifer." The blonde man looked at the instructor with a passive glaze in them. "Do not injure your partner while training, be careful from now on. Dismissed"

"Squall I need to talk to you" she said after the rest of the class left.

The gunblade expert walked to her as the students around her left.

"Yes?" he questioned.

"You haven't been to the Fire Cavern yet, have you? You won't be able to take part in today's SeeD exam if you don't pass the pre-exam?"

He looked thoughtful for a second she noticed. "Do you have a good excuse?" she asked him.

"… Not really" was his reply.

"Then lets get going. I'll be waiting at the front gate for you so come down when you are ready…"
