Chapter; seventeen; Living dead girl.

Squall stood there. Just standing in the door way of Quistis 'house'. The doctor had come up and taken her away to see what was truley wrong with her. "Why?" His voice reached his ears and again he realezed that he was again thinking aloud. The was something not right about it all. He had just seen her. She was just in his office that day, only a few hours before hand. She was happy. She was happy with him right? Sighing he looked at the spot where he had found her. She looked and felt dead. No she was dead, that's what the med.s said anyways.

"I'm sorry for your lost Squall." Squall turned to see Rinoa looking at him. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. "I never wished anything like this to anyone." Squall only glared at her and walked away.

He had found her, dead. She had taken her life. But the question was why. She had played around about it. Made cracks about it with Squall, but she did say she had stopped. That there was no need to do that anymore. She had said that when they were together before he left Rinoa.

"You know. It is your falt." Squall looked up to seee Seifer glaring at him. "I tried to protect her. I did protect her."

"Shut it Seifer."

"You let her die!" Seifer's eyes started to tear up. "I love her. I can't help that I still love her. I swore to myself that if you did anything to her...."

"I didn't." Squall sat down next to him and sighed. "I love her too. She.. she. She swore she stopped. She said she had no reason to do anything like that again. She.."

"She didn't do it to kill herself. That's not Quistis. She told me once that she did it to stop pain. I never understood that but that's what she said." Seifer looked down and sighed. "Squall did they say she was dead?" Squall just closed his eyes and walked away. Answering his quiestion felt like it would make things ture. That she would be truely dead, if he said yes.

"She's not dead." Squall wispered those words as he walked into his room and colapsted onto his bed. "You can't be Quistis. You can't." Teasrs started to roll down his cheek as he slowly drifted into sleeep. Though sleep was not as peaceful as he hoped it would be. Flashes of her passed through his mind, haunted him in his dreams. Suddenly he woke with a fright. A lound knocking on the door woke him. Tiredsomely he answered it. "Squall!" There stood Irvine out of breath. "You... You..." His breathing was hard as if he had just ran a hundred miles.

"What?"

"Quistis..." Squall's eyes widened as he took off twards the main floor. He knew where they were keeping her body, but he never wanted to look apon her. As he made his way into the room, he found it hard to fight his way by all the other students. There where Quistis' body should have been, was an empty metal bed, hanging out if the freezer door. "Quistis?" Squall looked at it oddly. "What happened!" His voice sounded inhuman. Like a wolf's growl when his home is being threatened. "WHERE IS SHE!?"

About an Hour before hand

Cold envolped her whole body and bit her skin. There was a deadly silence that made her ears blead. Slowly she opened her eyes. It was freezing and dark. Only a thin sheet covered her nude body. Franticly she looked around. There was no way for her to sit up. The small ice cold metal tin was her tomb. Calming down she tried to think of a way out of this. It hit her, or rather the door. With all her might she forced her feet into the bottom of the tomb. With a loud clank it opened. Jumping down she covered herself with the sheet and ran out of the back door. "Can't go home...." Quickly her mind started turning. She had to find a safe place to hide. She had to find a way to get back at Rinoa.

Now..

Squall stormed back up to his room. Rinoa was right behind him. "Squall? What are you going to do?" Squall refused to look at her. "Answer me!" Nothing. "Squall!" She bumped into him when he stopped suddenly.

"Go away. I don't want to be near you. If you don't leave me alone, then I will kick you out of garden. Understand?"

"But.. but Squall.."

"Go away." Squall shut the door hjard in her face, and sank to the floor. There he sat, letting tears rool from his eyes. It was the first time in a long time.

"What's wrong Leon?" The voice int he dark quiet room scared him. Looking up slowly he thought he was going crazy. There he could make out the outline of Quistis. "Squall?"

"Quis...." Squall stood up and ran twards her. "O Quistis! I thought..." He hugged her tightly before he nticed she was ice cold. "Boo! You're freezing!"

"I know."

"Here.." He picked her up and placed her in his bed. "What happened?"

"Can I tell you in the morring?"

"Yeah. Stay the night?"

"There's no way I would go back home."

"Everyone thought you were dead."

"Even you?"

"Yes and no. I didn't want to belive it. I saw you, but I wouldn't let it sink in."

"I'm glad. I love you Squall."

"I love you too Quistis."
