AN: Thank you so much to Pretty Green Eyes, Silver-Nex and KyuuketsukiShounen. Your reviews mean alot to me.
Quistis looked up from her work, Tempest was sitting in a chair at the other end of the room seemingly patient, but she could tell by the way she stared out the window that she'd rather be elsewhere. It had seemed like a good idea for each of them to take turns watching her at first. But Quistis felt slightly guilty, she didn't really have time to spend right now, she had work to do. Selphie had taken her shopping, Zell had taken her out to see Balamb, and Irvine had taken her out to see the fire cave. And now here she was stuck in an office watching tv while Quistis did her paper work.
"She must think I'm the most boring person in the world." Quistis thought.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Come in" Quistis said.
Zio and Ivy popped their heads in, they had gone along with Tempest on all her little trips and they seemed to have picked up friendship with her right away.
"Can Tempest come and hang out with us?" they asked pleadingly. They had come in and asked earlier but Quistis had told them no, she was to busy and Tempest needed to be watched. Tempest looked out the door rather longingly. Quistis looked at her watch, there was still hours before Selphie would take her at dinner.
"Alright." she answered finally.
"Yes!" the two girls in the doorway squealed.
Tempest grinned and went out after them. Quistis watched them go, she hoped desperatly that nothing happened for Tempests sake. Tempest had gotten new cloths when she went out with Selphie so she no longer wore Rinoa's old dress. She still looked exactly like her mother, she also refused to stop wearing her jacket. That was one of the things that puzzled Quistis, she was sure that it was Squall's jacket. Yet he had been wearing it when he left before he died, that could only mean that Tempest was there when he died. But that could mean...Quistis sighed. That could mean alot of things. She hoped for Tempests sake that it was not what she thought.
***
Tempest practically ran out the door when Quistis said she could go she was so bored of sitting in that room. She was tired of being watched constantly like a child, but she knew that it was for the protection of those around her.
"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Ivy bounced on her toes as they walked down the hallway.
"Ivy is that you?" Sarah stuck her head out of the library. Tempest quickly ducked behind a plant, she didn't want to get Quistis in trouble for letting her out unsupervised. "Oh good, Zio hunny I was looking for you. Would you and Ivy help me in the library for a little while? I've been making Zan work all morning and I think it's time he got a little break."
"Aww mom!" Zio moaned.
"Don't aww mom me." Sarah said sternly come on girls.
They gave one tentative glance toward Tempests hiding spot before following Zio's mother into the Library, it was only moments before Zan came bounding out.
"Free at last." he sighed.
Tempest stepped out of her hiding spot, Zan frowned when he saw her. "What's up?" he looked around as if expecting to see Quistis there.
"Quisits said I could hang out with Zio and Ivy because she was to busy to do anything with me. I just didn't want you mom to see me unsupervised." Tempest blushed a little, she hated that rule so much, but it was her own fault, she was dangerous.
Zan nodded as if he understood. "Will you tell me about my parents?" she asked.
Zan frowned as he began walking down the hallway and Tempest followed. She wanted to ask Zan because she didn't feel that Ivy and Zio were the kind of people to ask about a serious subject.
"What do you want to know about them?" he asked finally.
"Anything I don't know." she answered simply.
"Which would be everything?"
Tempest nodded.
***
"I can't do it." Tempest crouched on the floor with her arms over her head. "I can't."
"It's okay calm down. Just try to remember, take one of the voices and focus on it." Zan was trying to be patient, trying to get her to remember on her own, not just tell her everything.
"Just stay away from me!" Tempest screamed jumping to her feet. She looked around wildly then suddenly she froze, staring wide eyed down the hallway.
"What is it?" Zan asked her gently.
"He's here! He's here I saw him!" Her voice sounded panic stricken. "I know that's him I can feel it." suddenly her eyes narrowed she drew her gunblade and ran down the hall "He's gonna pay."
"Tempest no!" Zan raced after her but she was much faster, after a few minutes he found her kneeling on the floor, gunblade tossed to the side. Zans breath caught when he saw what she was leaning over, one of the underclassmen, and sword wound through her chest lay dead on the floor. "Hyne take it what have you done." he murmered.
"He's here." She stared in wide eyed shock cradling the girls head in her arms. Then her eyes narrowed again. "He must die, he will." she growled.
A man turned down the hallway. "Hey you!" Zan yelled at him. "Run! Get doctor Kadowaki and Instructor Trepe! Hurry!"
He took one glance and the scene before him and took off running. Zan looked down at Tempest discarded gunblade, it looked strangely clean, but the girls shirt did have blood wiped on it, she could have cleaned it off. He swore at himself, he didn't want to believe that Tempest did it but what other alternative was there? It didn't take long for the Doctor and Instructor to get there.
"This is all my fault." Quistis looked at the scene in horror.
"Tempest." the doctor said gently.
"He's going to pay." she said her voice growing raspy.
"Tempest can you hear me?" the doctor said, her voice sounded rather strained.
"He hurt my mother! He killed him! He has to die!" Tempest screamed before bursting into tears. Dr. Kadowaki took a shot out of her pocket and injected it into Tempests arm. After a minute she slumped over.
"I don't think she did it." Zan stared at the dead girl.
"I don't think it's going to matter. There are no witnesses, there are many people who don't want her here. A girl is dead and they'll want someone to blame." Quistis gently lifted the dead students tears filling her eyes. "This is all my fault." she repeated. "I shouldn't have let her out alone."
"But she didn't do it!"
"Zan I think you should go now." Dr. Kadowaki picked up Tempest and began heading towards the infirmary.
"What's going to happen to her?" Zan demanded.
"We don't know." she said sadly.
Zan kicked the wall in frustration as they disappeared down the hallway, he stomped down the halls to the library. There he found his sister and Ivy sitting white faced at one of the tables. When they saw him they both jumped to their feet and ran over to him.
"It can't be true can it?" Ivy choked on a sob.
"People are saying Tempest killed someone, it's not true is it?" Zio looked at him pleadingly.
The man who went to get the Doctor and the Instructor must have told someone, word spread quickly here. Zan grimaced. "I let her out of my sight, it certainly looks like she did it but I don't think she did."
Ivy sank to her chair and Zio stared at him her face ashen. They all knew that this would mean a lot of trouble for their rediscovered friend. They just sat there in the library, not saying anything, none of them knew what to say. Finally after a long time Quistis came in and sat down at the table with them.
"I'm guessing Zan told you what happened." she looked at the three teens who were studying her expectantly. "Headmaster Cid and some of the Commanders are discussing what they are to do with her now."
"I don't think she did it." Zan repeated.
"I wish I could believe that to, but all evidence seems to point towards it. People are starting to wonder if she is really under sorceress Selandes control. She very well may be even if she isn't a sorceress herself." Quistis rested her head in her hands. "This is all my fault, I shouldn't have let her go off on her own."
Scowling Zan jumped to his feet and stomped off, she couldn't have done it, could she?

Tempest stared up at the tall shadowed figure, contempt and a lust for revenge flowing through her but as she charged him he always seemed to elude her until suddenly he vanished.
"Who are you looking for?" a mocking voice said behind her.
Tempest's heart turned to ice, ever so slowly she turned to see who was behind her, but she already knew who it was, the name pounded in her head with as much hate as she felt for him. Gale.
Tempest snapped awake looking around her anxiously. She was in her little room in the infirmary. She shook her head trying to remember how she'd gotten here but it wouldn't come, the only thoght she could find was the one she wanted to get rid of. Gale. The name kept pounding through her skull over and over, she couldn't remember who the person was, only that she wished she'd never exsisted. Slowly the door creaked open.
"Tempest are you awake?" Dr. Kadowaki poked her head in slowly.
Tempest looked up at her, she had to know. "Who's Gale?" she asked.
Quistis looked up from her work, Tempest was sitting in a chair at the other end of the room seemingly patient, but she could tell by the way she stared out the window that she'd rather be elsewhere.
