Chapter Two: Visions in the Night

Squall figured he had done enough work for the night, or was it that his mind couldn't handle anymore conscience thought of Rinoa? Whatever the case may be, he shut off his computer and turned to face his bed inside of his Dormitory. Another reminder of Rinoa, and what they had shared. Growling inwardly, he decided to walk the halls instead.

Rayne, inside of Cid's office was asked to take a seat opposite of his desk. Walking around her greeted her. "It's a pleasure to have someone of your caliber here at Balamb. We are happy you decided to come along with us." Rayne nodded her appreciation and emotionlessly gazed out of the office window. Cid continued on "The fact that you were the commander for Galbadia army was a risk I was and am still ready to take. Your skills will do well for us, if you are willing to leave for the other side, and though be warned ahead of time many people will be suspicious of your motives once I inform them of your position before coming here." Rayne nodded yet again solemnly "I know Sir, I plan a full onslaught and would expect nothing less of Balamb SeeD's." Cid nodded this time and walked to his office window. "I am forced to ask myself, can you let your past position rest and give yourself fully and honestly to this Garden? If not, I do request you leave right now, and not come back, for your own safety and our well being." Rayne let the words sink in, she wouldn't lie, they stung, deep. "Headmaster, I, as a SeeD, warrior, and citizen devote myself to two things; Helping the cause, and battle. Galbaidia fights for the wrong reasons and their intentions are tainted. This is why I have come here, to begin anew, to start my life over again in attempts to make something of myself." Cid was moved by the speech, though he didn't show it. For a second, he thought he was talking to Squall all over again when he joined on SeeD. Chuckling to himself he turned to her "Well, then I welcome you to Balamb with all it has to offer you. Best of luck Miss. Langely." Rayne stood and saluted the Headmaster "Thank you Sir." Turning swiftly she exited the room and made her way back down to the lobby, only to run into Squall.

"Commander, what are you doing out so late?" Squall glared down at her. 'Who the hell is she to question me?' Instead he said "I am walking about, clearing my thoughts, as if it were your concern." Rayne shrugged "It's not, if you want to get thrown off by a simple question, that too is not my concern." She walked off and Squall's voice stopped her. "SeeD! Stop!" Rayne turned around "Yes Commander?" Squall walked between their distance and said "I don't not take kindly to such a tone, you're new, so I'll let it go this time." Rayne shrugged "If you don't like my tone Sir, then close your ears. I do not censor myself for anyone, ranking or not. Good-Night Commander" She saluted him and returned to her Dormitory. Squall mutter after she was out of sight "I knew she was going to be nothing but trouble." He had to admit 'She acts too much like me for my own tastes. Who does she think she is?' Squall returned to his Dorm before curfew and decided the best thing to do was to sleep, though he was still plagued by Rinoa's face, then again, when wasn't he?

Rayne entered her room and looked around, laughing to herself she shook her head "Now I see what she saw." Talking to herself she sat down to her computer and turned it on, documenting her finds.

:. Classification File 46219X .:

Entry One: Today I have arrived at Balamb Garden, I suspect a rigorous fight when the students find out I was the Commander for Galbadia Garden. I expect death threats, hate, disdain. I will do my best to over come this and make them see I am here to do something positivie with my skills. I have come to document the subjects I will be studying in my stay here. Note to any who come across this; this is not an invasion of privacy, merely document on what I observe of my fellow SeeD members. To see if they match up with any visions I get… Yes that's right, visions, maybe someday I will be able to explain, for now just go along.

Cid: Headmaster of Balamb Garden- He is a nice man, quiet, authoritative, father figure for many students. He is my boss, and I assume at some point; friend.

Selphie Timilt- I haven't spent much time with this girl, she appears lively and bubbly. Forever on a natural high, and giddy.

Irvine Kinneas-Apparently said boyfriend to Selphie, somewhat of a womanizer, though he remains faithful to one. (A normal man who isn't afraid to admit he likes looking, though he is in love, admiriable quality)

Zell Dintch- completely dense. Energetic, easily enraged, tempermental, quick to fight, yet thoughtful in his own way.

Quistis Trepe- The typical teacher/sister for everyone. She is much older than she looks, her spirit is that of maternal instinct and seems to be referee and counselor for her friends.

Rinoa Heartilly-I know, I have not met her, but only in my dreams. Strong personality, at first somewhat naïve and the total image of a spoiled princess. I have learned that she was very strong willed person, caring, and in love up until her death.

Squall Leonheart- Stone edged all the way around. He has never opened up since Rinoa's death, and I doubt he will ever open up that much again. He is abrasive, offensive, dry, curt, and cold. All of which I find in myself on more than one occasion.

I don't know what my visions will tell me next, but this is a far as I have gotten based on first encounters with each said individual. And, from the vision I got before I came to Balamb, my mission is FAR from over… I just hope I'm not too late.

-End Entry One-

((I know, I know, a creepy chapter, you're probably wondering what I'm talking about with visions and all this stuff, you'll find out later, it'll be a shock, I promise ;) just don't come after me with the pitch forks just yet And if you're wondering what "Classification File 46219X" is, this is basically the file name Rayne gives to throw anyone off that goes snooping into her computer files, 46291X is her security code number on her card to get into her room. Most people would think it's simply a document on Rayne's transfer, nothing worth looking at, hehe, so sneaky  Chapter Three is in PROGRESS 3))
