Good and Evil
Chapter 8
Mesmerized
Irvine woke up on the floor about two hours later. "What happened?" he said to himself as he rubbed his throbbing head. It all hit Irvine like a ton of bricks. He remembered talking to Selphie on the phone, she got this worried look on her face, and he turned around and was knocked out by Zell. "Zell." Irvine said, as his eyes became blood shot red. Irvine got up, still a little woozy from being conked out, grabbed his gun, and stomped out the door. Squall and Seifer were playing catch in the hallway. "Hey Irvine, do you want to join us?" Seifer said as he vigorously threw the ball to Squall. "Nope sorry guys, I'm out to get Zell." Irvine said still walking down the hall. "Okay! Bye, see ya later!" Seifer said as he waved to Irvine as a ball came flying at his head and he fell to the ground. Squall just laughed and went back into his room. "Squall help me, I can't feel my legs!" Seifer said as he just lay there. "Squall!!" Seifer said as the lights in the hallway started to turn out. "Oh great, just what I need." Seifer said to himself. As the last light turned out in the hallway, fog started to appear out of nowhere, and Satin came walking into sight. "Oh gosh satin, why do you have to make such a big entrance?" Seifer said as he began to regain control of his legs. "Well you know I AM Satin." He said as he circled Seifer. "Is there anything you need from me?" Seifer asked. Satin stopped looked at him, and said, "Well, I do need one little TINY favor." Satin started circling Seifer, which made him a little uneasy. "What might that be?" Seifer said as he tried to stand up but Satin pushed him back down. "I need you to become my Knight." Satin said as Seifer started to laugh and replied, "I've already been down that road, and trust me, I don't want to do it again." Satin didn't seem too angry, but what he said mesmerized Seifer and put him into a trance. His eyes turned gray, and he said, "Yes master, anything you say." As Satin crossed his arms in contempt and said, "Now that's more like it."
Squall lay on his bed, for the longest time. He felt so lonely, and missed Rinoa. He tried to call her, but there was no answer. Squall decided that he wanted to go sulk in public, which he enjoyed more than anything here. Squall walked out his door, and saw Seifer still lying on the ground. Squall walked over to see if he was still alive. Seifer's eyes shot open and grabbed Squalls legs. "Seifer what are you doing?" Squall said as he tried to swat away Seifer's hand. "Must kill… must kill." Seifer said over and over again. Squall tried to scream for help, but he knew it was no use. Irvine was after Zell, Zell had turned into a demon, and Seifer was out to kill him. Squall just pulled his legs as hard as he could and finally got one leg away from Seifer. He tried to run with Seifer attatched to his leg, but that didn't work to well. So Squall yanked his leg with all his might and freed it from Seifer. Squall started to run, but was almost caught by Seifer who had gotten up, and raced after Squall. 'What do I do? What do I do?' Squall thought to himself, as he ran up and down empty streets. 'I've got it!!' he finally thought to himself. Squall ran to the nightclub, and hid behind the bar counter. The bartender just looked at him. Squall told him that someone was after him and for the bartender to just not even notice that he was there. So the bartender just kept going on with her job. Seifer came into the night club, pulled out his gun, and shot the ceiling. He sent all the people into a scamper. As everyone was running around, Seifer walked up to the bar counter. He leaned over it, and asked the bartender if she had seen the person in the picture he was holding up. It was of him and Squall playing at the beach. The bartender said she had seen him go upstairs. So Seifer went up the stairs, and the bartender grabbed Squall's arm, and ran out of the club and ran across the street into an empty house. All the windows were boarded up so you couldn't see in the windows. She closed and locked the doors behind him. Squall looked at her and noticed she was a little different than all the other women here. She unzipped her coat and became a radiant angel. Squall just looked at her in awe wondering what she was doing in a place like this. "I'm here because of you." She said as if she could read his mind. 'Whoa she's hot!!' Squall thought in his head. "What about your girlfriend?" She said as Squall looked at her like she could read minds. 'How does she know about Rinoa?' He thought. "She's in heaven and I was the one who talked to her. I saw the alarm go off, which meant I had to come here, and save you and your friends." Gabriella said. "Now hush, we must be quiet." She said as they crept up the stairs. They walked into a room, where Zell, who had become normal again, and Irvine were sitting quietly in a corner. "Come on boys, we must get out of here, Seifer has gone looking for Squall and we don't have much time." Gabriella said as she opened another door. They walked through the door, and it looked like they were in a normal room. But when she closed the door, it looked completely different. There were benches surrounding the walls, and so they walked through another door. It was the hallway of all the back rooms in the Black Moomba Club. They walked through another series of doors, and soon they were in a place that was positively radiant. There were angels flying in the sky, and four beautiful girls approached them. "Irvy!" Selphie yelled. "Selph, is that you?" Irvine asked as he couldn't believe his eyes. "Squally!" Rinoa yelled. "Whoa Rin you sure have changed." Squall said as he scoped Rinoa up and down. "ZZEELLAAYY!!" Ellone yelled as Zell said "Oh crap." And ran as fast as he could, but was knocked down by Ellone who was sitting on his back by now. "I missed you sooooo much," Ellone said as she just about killed Zell from squeezing him too tight. Selphie and Irvine were the first ones to go back to the rooms, and then it was Squall, and next was Ellone and Zell. Quistis just stayed there and talked to Gabriella about Seifer. "How come Seifer didn't come with the other guys?" Quistis asked. "Well, he was put under a spell by Satan, and now he's very dangerous." Gabriella said, almost afraid to tell her. "Will the spell ever rub off?" Quistis asked wondering if she'd ever get her Seifeyweify back soon. "Well, it depends, the spell that's on him now is the one that he was put under before, so if you hurt him, you should be able to take the spell away." Gabriella said, as Quistis decided to hit the sack. "Goodnight Quistis." Gabriella said as she closed the door to the mortal world. Quistis lay there on her bed that night, unable to sleep because of the Seifer problem. "We must kill him, or else…"
