"Ok Rinoa, you try and attack." said Squall as he watced Rinoa fight a battle on her own, she was going to be a SeeD at least she hopped, she used he weapon and it didn't scratch the monster, so she used magic, unfortunately the monster had a shield that reflected the magic.

"Squall watch out!" screamed Rinoa but it was to late, Squall was hit and went down hard, the last thing he saw was Rinoa rush over to him.

"Do you think he's gonna wake up soon?"

"I don't know."

"Ohh... This is all my fault!"

Squall slowly opend his eyes, to see Zell, Rinoa, and Dr.Kadowaki standing over him, Squall sat up in surprise last thing he remembered was being in the training center what was he doing in the infirmary.

"Mornin' sleepy head!" said Rinoa huging him around the neck.

"... What happend?" asked Squall blankly, he sat there with a confused look on his face.

"Well," asnswered Dr.Kadowaki, "you were hit with a magical spell that Rinoa casted."

"Hey you didn't have to put it that way!" said Rinoa giving the doctor a pouty look.

"What confuses me is that it didn't do anything to you physically and mentally you seem fine, where most magics harm and/or physically change the the victim's body." said Dr.Kadowaki.

"Maybe I was lucky." muttered Squall.

"Maybe it was a dud, I mean I am just learning how to spell cast." said Rinoa. Squall sweat dropped and looked at Rinoa like she poisoned him.

"Well maybe not his blood pressure is higher than usual." said Dr.Kadowaki.

"I feel fine." said Squall standing up, he felt a little dizzy but he managed to hide it, he started to walk out of the infirmary but lost his footing, he grabed onto the door and caught himself right before he hit the floor, Rinoa knelt down and helped up Squall.

"I think you should stay here." said Zell.

"..." said Squall stareing at Zell blankly.

"I agree with Zell." said Rinoa as she pulled him back into the infirmary.

"Well at least over night if you feel better tommorow we'll let you go." said Dr.Kadowaki. Squall decided no to fight, he laid back down, he felt tired, and he felt odd, like as if his clothes didn't fit right, they were to big so it semmed, but he thought nothing of it, he closed his eyes thne he thought, 'How did they get rid of the monster?'

"Rinoa, did you beat that monster you were up against?" asked Squall.

"Well uh... Not by myself, Zell helped me." said Rinoa.

"Yeah she was haveing a problem dragging your body and running away so I helped." said Zell rubbing the back of his head. Squall laid his head back on the pillow and closed his eyes, he slightly smiled, he knew Rinoa wouldn't have been able to do it on her own.

Later that night Squall lay in the bed, the moon shone it's unearthly majestic shine, and darkness over took the garden, he looked around noone was there, rinoa went to her dorm as well as Zell and everyone else Kadowaki probably retired to his room, and Squall was all alone, in the dark, an unknown fear started to arise, he awaited a monster a creature from his nightmares to jump out and grab him. Squall closed his eyes and curled up into a ball under the covers. He didn't know what was going on he had an odd feeling in the bottom of his stomach that Rinoa's little spell did something more to him than what everyone first thought. He told himself over and over again, there's no reason to be afraid, theres nothing there, but it didn't work, he felt worse and worse, finally he made himself fall asleep, unknowing what problems will confront him in the days ahead.
