Wolf: I don't own the SeeD or the teachers. Thanks for the reviews I'll try to update regularly. I'm so sorry but it turned Fenerir was meant to be Fenrir, an ediolon from FF9. Oh well, I'll keep Fenerir but it won't be a GF from Squaresoft. So again I'm sorry. Also, I figured it would be easier for the readers to read time so the chapters will be in months.

Chapter 4: September 23rd to December 28th,

Part one: Return of the discipline committee.

No! Stop it! Alloran screamed in her mind. A women was on the hill side... A sorceress! She laughed evilly as many creatures came to her. She yelled commands mute to Alloran. The beasts tore up the land into shreds of ribbons.

" Griever! Make them bleed!" The sorceress ordered a giant lion like creature with a cold smile. The giant lion did what his mistress wished. The land seemed to vanish in a bright light.

" No!" Alloran shrieked as her eyes flung open. Alloran was glad the rooms were soundproof. Alloran put her hands on her face, sweat. This was worse than her workouts with Squall and Visser. This, has got to stop happening! Alloran gripped onto the blue stone on her neck. Fenerir! Alloran called in her mind. It's early in the morning Alloran, can't it wait? Fenerir yawned back. It was that dream again! Alloran sniped walking swiftly over to the small washroom. Again!? Fenerir's voice actually sounded concerned. You've been having them two times a week since you came to Garden. It...it's probably just a dream. A dream!? Alloran growled throwing water on her face. Do dreams keep coming to a certain person!? Fenerir was silent. I'm sure they will stop, Fenerir told her. For now focus on your work and ignore them.

~*~

" So is Squall letting you spare with Visser again?" Casseil asked at lunch. Alloran lightly smirked.

" After what happened? I still have a scar," Alloran pulled back part of her sleeve to reveal a long deep mark. Casseil scrunched up his face saying how much must have hurt.

" Well Visser has been beating up anyone he can," Tal said with a frown sitting down beside her friends. " My roommate in particular, Terra. I hear she got beaten up three times so far."

" Why doesn't she just tell?" Casseil asked punching his fist. Alloran shook her head.

" She's afraid they might hurt her more if she does tell," Alloran said looking distant. She remembered at the orphanage when investigators came no one dared to tell how Miss. Fallow ran the place. " Right?" Tal nodded her head.

" Yeah, word has it Visser and his friends have a special punishment for you," Tal warned her friend. Alloran snorted.

" Yeah, I'm so lucky getting picked," Alloran said sarcastically.

" I'm just warning you," Tal said quietly as Visser entered the cafeteria. " Those gorillas could do a number on you." We'll see, Alloran thought to herself as Visser glared at her.

~*~

One week later...

Alloran and Casseil were walking back from the training center. It was 6:00 so the halls were empty.

" I can't believe I took down two gnats," Casseil exclaimed proudly. Alloran rolled her eyes.

" Yeah, I'm sure most SeeD need 6 shots per gnat," Alloran said dryly. Casseil gave Alloran a shove.

" You love to make fun of my achievements," Casseil made a whimpering sound with a smirk.

" Pick up the trash Terra!" Rolled a familiar lofty voice, Visser. Near the garbage can. They were making Terra pickup their wrappers.

" Yeah better hurry Terra before a teacher comes," sneered the bigger one named Bruno as he tossed a few more wrappers.

" I, I'm hur, hurrying," Terra whimpered in a small voice. " You sho, shouldn't litter." The three laughed.

" Or what," laughed the fattest Kane. A paper ball sailed through the air. " Ow! Hey!" It was Tal who threw the ball.

" You'll have to answer to me," she said sternly keeping her eyes focused. The bozos shrugged and laughed.

" And us," Alloran and Casseil walked to the other side of them. Visser grinned.

" Well, well, well, the little girl and her friends want to fight," Visser and his friends matched up with Alloran and her friends. Terra nodded thanks to Tal and ran off. " There goes our garbage picker." Tal ran up to Visser and her fist connected to his jaw. He staggered at first. He frowned at the three before he motioned Bruno to Tal.

Bruno leapt at Tal. Tal blocked his punch with a cross block. Kane ran to his friend but was tackled by Casseil. Visser glared at Alloran with fury.

" Looks like your flunkies can't help you," Alloran told Visser coldly. Visser snorted.

" Them, them? I don't need them!" Visser laughed. He went in to punch Alloran. Alloran met his high punch with a roof block. Alloran kicked for Visser stomach. Visser caught it and twisted her leg. Alloran fell on the ground. Crap, looks like he knows some fighting skills too! Alloran thought viciously struggling to push herself up. Visser kept trying to step on her. Alloran kept rolling over to avoid getting stomped on. As Alloran got up a blade landed in front of Alloran's face.

" I win," Visser said proudly as he pushed Revolvers blade closer to Alloran's face.

" Cheater!" Casseil called as Kane and him wrestled by. Visser laughed.

" In life there are no cheaters, only losers and winners." Visser told Alloran. That does it! Alloran grabbed Revolver's blade not caring about the blood. Visser yelped as Alloran elbowed him in the face.

" That's enough!" All turned to the elevator. There was Quistis with a scared Terra behind her. " Visser, Bruno, Kane, detention for two months and garbage duty! As for you three!" She pointed to Alloran, Tal, and Casseil. " The commander wishes to see you." The friends looked at each other in confusion weren't they going to get detention too?

" And Alloran," Quistis said guiding Visser and his flunkies away. " Report to Dr. Kadowaki afterwards." Alloran glanced at her hand, the cut wasn't as deep as she thought it would be. The cut seemed to be a line drawn in her hand.

"Come on Alloran," Tal said quietly. Terra nodded at them as she ran away. The elevator ride was silent, they all wanted to know what would happen to the three. Are you going to break the silence? Fenerir asked. No, I'll see what happens first. Alloran told the great being. Bing,bong, the third floor. They turned from the ramp to go to the deck to a door. Their fate was here. Alloran knocked on the door.

" Come in." All three looked at eachother nervously. Tal gulped and opened the door. Squall was waiting, none could tell his emotion. " Sit down." The three took a seat in the three chairs in front of the desk.

" What you did was noble but a teacher could have handled it better." He told them with his eyes boring into their souls. " Normally a detention would be needed, but," he stopped to make sure they were listening. " This hasn't been used in a long time but how would you three like to be on a group called the discipline committee." That's it?! Alloran asked herself. " It might teach you more responsibility."

" Pardon me sir, but what is the discipline committee?" Tal asked as polite as possibly.

" It's a group that enforces small rules like running in the hall," Squall said coldly. There was some thing in his voice that held anger. " Either that or a one month's detention."

" We'll take the committee," Alloran said not wanting detention. Squall nodded.

" Casseil would you please leave," this was not an request. Casseil opened his mouth to object but then shut up and left.

" Tal, your roommate Terra, she's going to be leaving Garden tonight." Tal looked shocked. " She said if she can't handle a weapon or stand up for herself she couldn't handle being here. Alloran I understand you don't have a roommate. If you two want Tal can move into your room." The two nodded.

" Thank you sir," Alloran said quietly as she and Tal opened the door and Casseil fell out.

" He,he, just checking to see if the door was shut," Casseil said inching out of the room.

" You are dismissed," Squall sighed. He didn't need to tell them twice, Tal and Alloran grabbed onto Casseil and hauled him out of the office.

" Want to celebrate?" Casseil asked as they took the elevator to the first floor.

" Some other time, I still need to get my hand patched up."

" I want to say goodbye to Terra."

" What!? We just got out of major trouble and you don't want to celebrate!?" Casseil exclaimed. Alloran shot Casseil a silencing glare. " Okay, fine, some other time." Bing, bong.

" See you guys later," Alloran waved goodbye to her friends.

~*~

You're getting soft Squall, Squall thought to himself. Those actions should have given them two months detention. This is what Cid would do for... Squall stopped thinking. Why was he thinking about Seifer? That girl, Alloran, was not related to Seifer. She's not Seifer, live with it. Squall told himself. You can't make things right for Seifer this way.

~*~

" Another injury in one month!?" Dr. Kadowaki exclaimed seeing Alloran's hand.

" I guess I attract injury," Alloran said with a smirk. Dr. Kadowaki shook her head.

" Your lucky no one has Leviathan junctioned or that would leave a scar," she said pulling out a pale white stone called aquamarine. ( A/N Yes I'm sure aquamarines are white.) She walked up to Alloran and put her hands on the cut. " Recover!" A bright light flowed from Dr. Kadowaki to Alloran. She looked at her hand. Holy crow it looked as though the cut was never there! Humph, Leviathan was always a showoff, Fenerir growled irritated. Jealous? Alloran asked. If you are ever assigned a GF, DON'T PICK LEVIATHAN! Fenerir ignored Alloran's question.

" So Alloran," Dr. Kadowaki asked. " Have you had any problems with Zell?" Alloran shrugged.

" Not really, I think he tries to pretend I'm not there," Alloran told the Dr. touching her hand.

" Oh well," Dr. Kadowaki sighed. "It's better than getting beat up."

~*~

Next week...

" Whoops, sorry guys you get another detention," Casseil wrote up his third pick slip that day for Visser and his flunkies.

" Are you going to keep following us?!" Visser demanded picking up a piece of trash he missed from garbage duty.

" As long as you don't do things right, You missed a spot," Tal gave another detention slip.

Part two: The gift.

December...

" No!" Alloran woke up. That cursed dream returned to haunt her. The dream hadn't come to her again since September. Damn! She thought. Her door opened, Tal.

" Would you please try not to yell?" Tal yawned.

" Sorry."

" Alloran, your face is covered with sweat, what's wrong?" She asked. Alloran frowned, she didn't want to remember or tell.

" Nothing." Alloran said flatly. It wasn't anyone's problem but hers. Tal frowned.

" Does nothing include screaming no at night? We're lucky the rooms are soundproof." Tal said tapping on Alloran's head.

" Can we please try getting some sleep?" Alloran pulled the blanket over her and ignored Tal.

~*~

" Hey, Casseil, what's wrong?" Alloran asked taking their usual seat.

" Visser and is 'friends' are off detention today," Casseil said day dreaming. " No more days torturing them." Tal gave Casseil a light punch.

" We still can, just the little things," Alloran gave Casseil a tap on the head.

" Better watch your self Wolfeyes," Alloran turned to face her least favorite person, Visser. " If I catch you alone your dead." He and his 'friends' walked away.

" He really wants revenge on you particularly," Casseil whistled.

" I'd like to see him try, come on Casseil we have magic next."

~*~

" So in conclusion you will have tests in June to determine if you move onto your second year." Quistis was telling the class about the tests. Bring! Class over. " Those who have me next block take a break." As Alloran was leaving the class Quistis stopped her. " Can we talk?"

" Fine, afterall you're the great instructor," Alloran shrugged. Quistis just shrugged.

" Do you plan on going to the Christmas or New years dance?" She asked sweetly.

" No, parties aren't my thing," was Alloran's reply. It's true, she hated going to dances and such. Quistis shrugged again.

" If you're ever interested I could always get you tickets." Quistis offered.

" I'll keep that in mind."

" Alloran, SeeD's are expected to attend this sort of thing. Aren't you interested in finding love or being kissed under mistletoe?" Quistis asked. Why should she be interested? Alloran asked herself.

" I'm really not interested instructor, besides I'm not SeeD yet." Alloran shook her head. Quistis laughed lightly.

" I guess not, you're only twelve now, but in a few weeks you'll be thirteen," Quistis smiled. Alloran glared at Quistis.

" How did you know my birthday was in a few weeks?!" Alloran demanded. She never really had a birthday. According to Miss. Fallow Alloran was left at the orphanage on the day she was born. Quistis cleared her throat.

" It, it was on your registration card," Quistis said as her excuse. Alloran cocked her eyebrow.

" I'm not quite sure Garden would know my exact birth date for December the 28th." The next class was coming down the hall. Alloran dropped the subject and went to her seat. Quistis shaking her head and frowning.

December 22nd

" No more classes!" Casseil said grinning as he got ready to toss his book to the ground.

" Only second years and up are aloud to leave Garden. And it's only for ten days," Tal reminded him as she grabbed his arm to prevent him from chucking the library book across the room. " Plan on going to the dance Alloran?"

" It's not my thing," Alloran flatly told Tal. Tal made a face.

" Oh well, at least we get a day trip to Balamb. This is our only year we're aloud to use yellow cards out of Garden."

" What!?" Casseil's mouth was open. " How come!?" Tal rapped on Casseil's head.

" Second years get salaries, remember?" Tal grinned giving Casseil a shove. " Think we should get each other some thing? You know for Christmas."

" Yeah! Alright!" Casseil punched the air. Alloran just shrugged.

~*~

The day of the day trip.

" How much longer!" Flare whined on the bus. Alloran kept her distance and Flare kept his distance from her.

" Sit down!" Yelled the bus driver. " I don't care if your Zell's kid, just shut up!" Flare pouted as the bus laughed.

Plan on getting a gift for the teachers? Fenerir asked as Balamb came in view. Do I look like a teacher's pet? Alloran asked. I asked the question first. Fenerir seemed to laugh.

Masses of students go off the bus. Some of the kids went to visit their parents while most just browsed in the shops.

" I guess we'll just go buy our stuff and meet back here?" Tal asked pulling out a list.

" You need that big a list?" Casseil asked trying to mimic Tal. Tal gave Casseil a punch.

" Very funny, I want to pick up some stuff for my parents and friends in FH."

" We have about two hours now, let's get going," Alloran reminded them. They went their separate ways not caring what would happen. Alloran ( after waiting in a long line) got Tal a new pair of fighting gloves and Casseil a good luck charm since Casseil believed in good and bad luck. All would have been fine till Alloran was heading back to the bus.

" Hey, give me your money squirt," Alloran saw Visser and his 'friends' cornering a small kid in an alley. Hyne give me strength Alloran thought.

" Poor little Visser lose his lunch money?" Alloran said loudly to draw Visser's attention to her. " How brave, stealing money from some one smaller than you."

" At last you come out of hiding," Visser pushed the kid into trash. " Ready to fight?"

" Gladly," said Alloran. They started punching each other. Alloran felt a hit from behind. Damn! Can't Visser's friends stay out of this?! Then she felt ribs get pounded. " Can't fight your own battles?" Alloran choked as Bruno attacked her left side .

" What's going on down there?!" The voice alerted them. Visser sprinted away with his friends behind him.

" Thank you," the boy said running off toward the voice. Alloran didn't care much about the thank you at the moment. She just wanted to get back at Garden and sleep a few years.

~*~

" Wake up! It's Christmas!" Alloran got up on the 25th due to Tal's insistent knocking at the door. Alloran opened the door for Tal. " Merry Christmas! Casseil's waiting for us in the cafeteria. You should see it!"

" At least let me get ready first," Alloran yawned. Merry Christmas Alloran, Fenerir purred. Have anything for me? I really can't give you anything because you're in my mind. Alloran growled at Fenerir.

" Hurry up Alloran!" Tal practically dragged Alloran to the cafeteria. Most of the people there were first years. The cafeteria had garland hanging on the walls, a bit of mistletoe, and a big tree at the center.

" Sleeping beauty is finally among us, or sleeping ugly," Casseil laughed. " Now do we have the great Tal's permission to exchange gifts?"

" Of course you idiot!" Tal grinned. Casseil let out a girly yippee. Casseil got a good luck charm and a camera. Tal got a pair of fighting gloves and some candy. And Alloran got a mini telescope and a picture of Visser suffering from garbage duty. At least you will always have a happy memory of Visser. Fenerir chuckled.

The rest of the day was filled with activities and races for those that hadn't left Garden for the holidays. Tal and Casseil gave Visser three detentions. And to end the day they talked in Tal and Alloran's dormitory about schemes to get rid of Visser. Though they wouldn't think of doing the half the ideas.

They had six more days before classes started.

~*~

December 28th.

" Alloran, you have a package!" Alloran was reading a library book. At least it wasn't about Christmas. Alloran got up and Tal tossed her a package. " Doesn't say who it's from though." Alloran looked at the package, all it said was to Alloran. She tore the brown paper apart to reveal a old book with a card on top.

" Read it." Tal insisted. Alloran picked up the card.

" Dear Alloran, happy thirteenth birthday. This was some thing your father gave me along time ago. I hope you will put it to good use." Alloran stopped. " That's all it says."

" Hyne, Alloran! Why didn't you tell it was your birthday!?" Tal demanded.

" You never asked."

" Oh," Tal's eyes widened with anger. " I guess I'll go tell Casseil." And with that Tal stormed out of the room. She'll get over it, Fenerir told Alloran. She really didn't ask. Alloran opened the book. A single paper lay on he first page. On the paper was a hand drawn picture of a wolf with angel wings and golden armor on it. The eyes were a deep blue and its fur was white. On the side was a description.

Name: Fenerir.

Power: earth.

Summoning gem: Sapphire.

The picture for Sapphire matched Alloran's own stone. Fenerir, is this you? Alloran asked looking at the picture. Fenerir was silent for a long time. Yes. Was all Fenerir said. Alloran looked at the other pages, GFs and their descriptions. Who sent Alloran this book, and, did they really know who Alloran's father was? How did they know her?

~*~

Wolf: That's all move along. Whoops, oh yeah, please review.
