Chapter 9: Right or Wrong
Deidre sat in the orphanage. She was ready to show the world that she wasn't exactly dead and she was going to start with Squall, the little boy that killed her. She just laughed at how easy it was to fool the world. She had to get Rinoa mad for her to discover her own powers. The only way she could get Rinoa mad was by faking her own death.
Faking one's own death is rather easy. All she had to do was create a spell that would give her the Rip Van Winkle effect. She just needed to be knocked out for a few years. She created a new spell that if used before one is fatally wounded, the person would be able to reawake. She didn't even have a scratch on her. She amazed herself at how brilliant she really was.
If she knew Rinoa, like she hoped she did. Rinoa would be looking for Squall this very second and he would lead her right to her. It would be great to see her beloved friend again. The two of them were like soul mates, sisters but closer. She couldn't wait to see the damage that Rinoa was capable of now. The two of them could rule the entire universe.
Squall walked into the orphanage looking at the ground. He almost hated himself for running away on Selphie again, but he couldn't put her life in danger even if he did love the girl. He knew in his heart that they would be together again… He just had to fix a few things, like his little problem with Rinoa. If he remembers what happened, then she definitely remembers what happened. Although, Rinoa probably thinks that Seifer is the one that killed her friend.
He closed his eyes remember that gruesome day. He had revenge on his mind but he wasn't ready for murder. He wasn't even ready to be asked for murder. He was just a kid, just a little boy trying to do what he thought was right.
"Who are you my child?" Deidre asked as she saw the lost Squall pacing in front of the mansion. She had gone outside to have a cigar, she loved the flavor of strawberries and vanilla, it was just like candy.
"My name is Squall. What did you do to my friend's family?" He said acting like he was the biggest man in the world. He didn't know what to do or say, but if he didn't do something he was afraid these monsters would come after Selphie. He couldn't let anything harm his angel.
"I guided them on a vacation. They are having a great time. Do you want me to give them a message for you?"
"Bring them back!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that little one. You see I got big plans for this place and they'll only get in my way."
"I'll… I'll…"
"You're threats mean nothing to me. What are you, seven, and eight?"
"I'm big for my age."
"I bet you don't even know how to use that thing."
"I can always try and see what happens," He said using all of his strength to lift it up and aim it at the redhead standing in front of him. For being such an evil person, she was really quite beautiful. One of the most beautiful women he had every seen. He almost didn't want to harm her porcelain skin. It was like see was a doll with icy eyes staring him up and down.
"Go ahead kid, shoot me. It would make my job a lot easier. In fact once you shoot me, take me up to the master bedroom by the lil misses." She said walking a little closer knowing his aim would be a little off, but you can't miss something right in front of you.
"I…"
"You're scared? Trust me I won't die and you'll see me again. And next time I'm sure you'll be ready to handle me kid. She grinned at him and pulled the gun and him closer pointing the gunblade right at her heart.
Squall was too scared of what she would do to him if he didn't shoot her. If she wasn't going to die then what was the problem right? He looked at Seifer's gun blade and shook as his finger tightened around the trigger. There was no other option, even if she did die, maybe she deserved it.
"I told you I wouldn't die" Deidre said lingering around the room in front of Squall. Her long red her highlight her pale almost white skin. She wore a tight fitting short dress, enough to make any man go wild, any man except Squall. He hated her. He wanted her dead for real this time. But he wouldn't fight her just yet. He would wait so Rinoa could see the real Deidre and they could save Selphie's parents if it wasn't already too late.
"What do you want from me?"
"Actually you have grown to be quite a man I must say. Why you love such a little girl is beyond me. It took me awhile to find out who your lil friend is. Too bad I'm going to have to kill her."
"You won't lay a finger on Selphie!"
"You're not going to stop me; you're not even going to try. Not after I'm through with you," Deidre laughed as she walked closer to him. She was going to kill the little boy she first ran into, but she had bigger plans for this man. He turned her on in a big way. She wasn't about to let him slip away. She could sense that the little girl wasn't far away. If she just did a simple love spell and made him sleep with her Selphie would never talk to him again. It was just too perfect to imagine and she had no objection to sleeping with the man in front of her.
"It's not like I can just be possessed by one of your little spells. I'm a real live person who knows your tricks," Squall mentioned getting angry. Who was she to say that he wouldn't stop her from hurting the one true thing in his life? Selphie was the only one who had ever understood him, although Rinoa had come close.
"I wouldn't have to place a spell on you my dear. I can already see you rising to the occasion." She lifted one eyebrow and then closed both eyes trying to figure out exactly how far away both Selphie and Rinoa were. They had left at approximately the same time and were heading to the same place, they just took different ways. Although Selphie had taken a short cut to the orphanage; Rinoa had no objection with pushing her car to its limits. It seemed like they would both arrive at the same time.
Squall started to turn around and walk out the door, but Deidre bolted in front of him blocking him in. She wasn't about to let him get away. Every damsel needs a knight in shining armor and he was going to be hers if it was the last thing she did. She just smiled and pushed him toward Matron's old room.
"I don't know what you think I will do with you, but I can tell you it isn't going to happen," Squall said standing his ground in the door a mere two feet from the bed. He wasn't the type of man who couldn't just have sex with a woman. While every other inch of him of cold heart, his genitals were in it for love. He hated guys like Irvine who just slept around with whoever they want to.
"You're going to tell me that the bulge in your pants means absolutely nothing. I'm not blind. I know very well what a cock is." She finally pushed him on top of the bed and straddled him. Even if she had to rape him, when Selphie walked in they would be having sex.
Squall noticed a small knife on the side table. If he could distract her, he just might be able to get away. He reached for the knife slowly so she wouldn't notice. The only way he was going to get out of this was to pretend to be interested in her sexually. So he leaned in and kissed her trying not to gag. She really did make him sick.
He went to stab Deidre in the stomach when he heard a shriek come from the door. There she was with the whole crew standing behind her. Selphie shrieked because she couldn't believe that why he had left, and Rinoa shrieked because Deidre was actually alive.
Zell and Seifer just looked at each other and decided it would best to stay in the car. There was going to be a lot of yelling and screaming and crying. Neither one of them was in the mood for a big heart to heart with someone who was supposed to be dead, nor were they in any mood to deal with women's emotions. Why did they always have to blow everything out of proportion?
"Deidre?" Rinoa asked as she entered finally realizing who the sorceress in front of her was. If she was alive why wouldn't she have come to Rinoa? Why wouldn't she have known? A slight tear rolled down her cheek. The sorceress she didn't want to be she was becoming. She was angry and vengeful for nothing. She just looked at her two real best friends who were still in the doorway and fell to the ground ashamed.
"Rinny," Selphie screamed running to her friend's side. Despite everything that would come between them they were still friends. When a friend is in pain you have to be there for them. If she focused on Rinoa's pain, then she didn't have to focus on her own.
"Why aren't you over here hugging me, aren't you glad to see me," Deidre asked walking over to Rinoa leaving Squall on the bed. He first mission was already accomplished there was no way Selphie would talk to him now.
"I'll leave you with your son of a bitch lover. He's a piece of shit! I know I hurt you Squall, but you don't have to be an asshole to Selphie!" She screamed getting up and running out the door motioning to the two girls to follow.
Selphie exited silently. There was nothing to say, but Quistis knew just what to say. She looked Deidre directly in the eye and with a calm voice said, "I don't know what you did yet, but you can be damned sure Ill find out. I'll make you pay for whatever you have done or plan to do. I can see through a person's eyes and yours are black to me!"
With that Quistis left with her dignity, but with the loss of a friend. She could tell the god from the bad, she just surprised that Squall couldn't. The loss of a commander will be a great loss the garden.
Squall just sat there. He didn't know what to say or do. He was all alone. He hated Deidre, but it seemed like his friends would never take them back. Maybe he shouldn't have kissed her, but he thought if… If he distracted her he could kill her without her even putting up a fight and… Then he could go home to Selphie, but now he really couldn't go back to her.
