Trials and Tribulations
Chapter 5
The Betrayal
Squall picked up the unconcious Rinoa and left the room, saying nothing to his father. Selphie and Zell followed after him, soon Irvine left also. Quistis bowed and started to leave when the president's secretary ran in.
"Sir, Galbadian soldiers."
Laguna stared at her. "What do you mean, Maria? They can't be here. Galbadia and I made an agreement that no soldiers are to enter Esthar, including our soldiers entering Galbadia, unless I am contacted."
"But they did..And that girl and your son were taken by them." Maria shut the door and disappeared.
Squall? No. They couldn't take him. He wouldn't allow it. Quistis glanced over at Laguna and saw that he was thinking the same. "Sir, shouldn't we go after them?"
Laguna nodded and picked up the phone. "Maria, call in the soldiers. I'm going to find out who's commanding these troops." He hung up and glanced over at Quistis. "Get the others. We'll meet you over there."
Maria and Quistis nodded and hurried out of the room.
Why do they want her? Quistis shut the door behind her and noticed that Selphie and Irvine were slowly standing up. "Hey, are you guys alright?" She hurried over towards them and helped Irvine pick Zell up.
Selphie nodded. "Yeah, but they got Squall and Rin." She quickly cured the unconcious Zell and glanced outside the residence. "I can't beleive that they would take both of them."
Quistis nodded and sighed. "Let's find out where they where headed and we'll meet Laguna there." She headed towards the entrance and walked out. I hope someone saw them. A few minutes later, the other three hurried out, Zell bringing up the end.
Squall woke up and noticed that he was chained to some sort of stand. ...The hell? What's going on here? He pulled against the chains and continuously failed. He finally gave up and glanced around the room and saw someone who resembled Seifer. I should have known. "Why?"
Seifer glanced over at him and laughed. "You really want to know why? It was you. Always you. She never would stop talking about you. 'Squall this, Squall that.' I got so tired of it, so I had to do something. And this is the idea I came up with. So watch..." He walked over to the controls and pressed a buton. "And see my creation."
Creation? Squall glanced over at the stand across from him and watched as a scarlet-red mist escaped from it.
A/N: Hi! OMG! I am soooooooooo sorry for not updating earlier! I just moved and everything, so it's been hectic. Anyways, I would love to thank everyone for reviewing my story so far and I hope that you can also review the other ones that I've published here. Well, ta! Oh. And as you can see, I changed my name, but I'm the same kanna. Bye bye! -Kagome
P.S. I know that this is short, but I needed to update, or my wonderful sensei, Lady Pyrefly, would kill me.
