Guess what? I'm back! Here is the new chapter that Final Heaven 9asked. Thanks a lot for your review and I hope you like this chapter. I DON'T OWN ANYTHING IN THIS STORY...Ariadne's mine though so forget any stupid ideas.
…
So welcome to the third chapter of Second life. Have fun (I hope)
…
My POV
…
Well this has certainly classified the situation as the weirdest that could possibly become. Guess what? Not only am I a Seed as I am going to actually see in the best place the things that are going to plague my new home. This is getting better and better huh?
From what I see and remember the group is easy to handle. Selphie is pretty much like Stef and Quistis reminds me of my aunt. Zell is a good guy and Squall…well, I think the best way is not to step on his toes. Rinoa is another case. I never really liked her character, too much whine for my tastes so I will have to keep my tongue in check if she is as she was portrayed in the game.
Irvine, however, is on a thin line. Really thin. I've known him for the four years that I had spent in the Garden and the guy just hits on everything that wears a skirt. Damn, that is a scary thought. The problem is that it is the truth. The last time he tried to touch me he spent a week on the infirmary before my aunt understood what I had done with him as I refused to say anything.
I did remember thinking at the time, though, in one of my teachers of the first classes I ever had in the Garden saying something about spell mixture but I had never had a guinea pig before that day. The scolding I received wasn't as bad as it could have been as she understood my plight and when that little incident was known I had people I didn't even know congratulating me on the halls. Stef and other friends of mine threw a party and we spent the next day in detention because we had violated curfew.
What a pity…we drove the instructor in charge nearly crazy and he had to ask for a vacation. We never got a detention again. Martine may be an idiot but even he learns something with his mistakes.
So now I am in a suicide mission with my bloody mind screaming for me to grab the group and lock them in a closet instead of trying to kill a sorceress and get locked in the highest security jail in the planet.
Note to self: Kick Martine's ass when I get back. He is long overdue and my patience just ran out. Good thing that Kinneas is around. Can anyone guess where my frustration will be vented?

3rd Person POV
…
"Irvine Kinneas control yourself" – Quistis order only served to launch the sharpshooter in one of the romantic speeches he was so well known in the Garden. Zell was about to punch the train when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He raised his head to see the newest female addition to their group.
– "Ignore him Zell. He is a complete idiot and whatever the things he says you will always know that it is only bullshit." – The blond smiled slightly with the girl's comment and stood up watching her stand against the wall.
– "My dearest Ariadne" – Irvine placed a hand on his chest dramatically.
– "You wound me with your words." – She raised an eyebrow – I will wound you with my swords if you call me dearest again. Believe me…it's much worse."
Her voice was completely sincere and strangely emotionless as if she was simply talking about the weather. Zell snorted under his breath followed by Rinoa's soft chuckles and even Quistis wasn't able to hide a faint smile. Only Squall didn't react making the wall opposed to her as his own.
– "Can I call you mine then?" – She rolled her eyes
– "No. But you can call me death if you open your mouth one more time." – She looked at Zell and smiled – "See? Bullshit." – He nodded in amusement and silence invaded the compartment no doubt because of the look Squall was bestowing upon the Galbadians. The bad thing was that she was not a bit affected.
– "So where are you from Ariadne?" - The brown haired girl gave her attention to the blond instructor.
– "Can't say. I am amnesiac ever since I was thirteen." – She informed sitting on the floor. Rinoa sent her a pitying look and the girl flinched. She had had too much of those feelings over the last years and still hated them as much as in the first days
– "I am sorry" – Quistis seemed really concerned that she had hurt her feelings
– "Don't worry. No problem." – Ariadne smiled in that way that she had learned from her father. – "When you're in my position there is not much to be sad about. I was hit with debris from the training of the guys from Galbadia. They had gone to Deling and caught me in the middle. At least that's what they told me. My home is in Galbadia now."
The instructor just nodded still worried. – "So how about you guys? Where are you from?"
– "Zell, Squall and I are from Balamb and Rinoa is from Timber" – Ariadne's eyebrow rose again but other than that she didn't comment. She chose instead to continue the conversation now joined with the wrestler until the train arrived at their destination trying to compare the little she had seen long before.
At that moment she felt more apart that ever. And that was something that she was sure that was never going to change.

My POV
…
It still hurts every time I have to lie about my origin. When Quistis asked me that I had an urge to answer truthfully as I always had since that day but I hid it inside. I cannot very well say "I'm from another planet" can I?
I've kept the story all these years and sometimes I just let go a small memory from my family as a reminder for myself. It is a fear that I arbour ever since I have started using the guardian forces. To forget. So I used all my free time to find an answer with the help of my aunt. We didn't find a great deal about it. It's very hard to research like this when the idiots in charge say that there's nothing wrong.
Now that I am going to start using them more I can only hope that I won't lose them. Hell, I may live in here but I will not lose everything that I had before. Can't understand how Rinoa can cast away her family so easily but quite frankly it isn't my problem. I have my own to take care of.
Shit! I am almost sounding like cold-man in the corner. Not good. It seems that the time without talking makes me sulk. Once again not good. And to worsen the situation there goes Kinneas again. Doesn't the idiot ever learn?
He was probably turned down by almost everyone in Galbadia and he still continues. But even I have to agree that it is fun the way a single glare from Squall's is able to shut him up. I still think that my katana would do a better job. After all Martine didn't forbid me from cutting his tongue…but he would be probably pissed as usual.
Oh well…I don't know why he sent me along though. In the story I know no stealth specialist was needed. I think he is trying to get me away from the Garden. Maybe he is finally fed up with all the things I did over the years. And to my record they weren't few.
That's too bad. But Galbadia is still my home and there is no way I will allow it to be destroyed because of the sorceress. I only hope that Stef, Aunt Chris and the others do what I told them to. The farthest I can get them away from this war the better and somehow I don't think I would be able to fight against my new family.
Something I learned as well all these years. Respect brings Loyalty and without them both you cannot feel. And living without feelings…it is not living…
…
Done for now people. This means that you have to do something that I would really love you to do. That's it...REVIEW
So be nice and press that little button on the bottom ok?
