Chapter Sixteen


Over the course of 2 weeks Squall received more letters that were getting angrier and violent sounding. After Edea demanded he tell the others, Squall showed them the total of 15 threatening letters. Since then they were on high alert, watching the entrances and when late Seifer, Irvine or Raijin would follow the Commander as he left his office. As for Edea she stayed around Selphie or with Nida and Xu on the bridge. As in the words of Seifer, the shit storm just keeps building.

As for Quistis and Zell, they tried to apply at Galbadia Garden, but was turned away because they caught wind of what they did to Squall and didn’t want anymore drama. They eventually went to Zell’s house where they told Ma Dincht what was going on, they were shocked when she yelled at them for being stupid. After she reamed them good, the two finally realized the error of their ways, but were too proud to go groveling back for forgiveness. ..until Ma Dincht kicked them out until they apologized.

At the moment the two were in Squall’s office looking sheepish after giving their apologies and the Commander had been staring at them for 15 minutes now…making them nervous as well.

“So you two finally say he light because your mother finally got it through your thick skulls that there is nothing wrong with my relationship with Edea.” He finally said and the two nodded slowly. “And you think I’ll just let you guys back in?”

“Squall…Commander, we’re not asking to come back to SeeD or Garden, we just wanted to tell you we’re sorry for being pigheaded.” Quistis said quietly and Zell joined in.

“Yeah, we were assholes and my Ma pointed out that you and Matron deserves to be happy together.” Zell said and Squall leaned forward in thought with his hands steepled.

“I’ll allow you back, but you two have to regain my trust and others around you.” Squall said and signed some papers then handed them to the blondes.

“Thank you Squall, we won’t let you down again.” Quistis whispered.

“I’m not finished yet.” He said and they went silent again. “You two are on probation for as long as I say. This means no classes, no SeeD missions unless I choose and demoted by 2 SeeD levels.”

Quistis and Zell digested the news and nodded. “Okay. Thank you, Sir.” She said and Zell said the same.

“Okay. You’ll have the same rooms as before and the pass code is the same as well. Now get settled in and don’t make me regret my decision.” Squall said and with a salute the two left.

After they were gone Squall let a relieved breath out and stood up, stretching his stiff limbs. He made his way down the elevator and into his room. After locking the door he stiffened when he heard the cock of a gun and the pressure of the muzzle against his head.

“I told you to get out of Garden and away from Edea, but you didn’t listen.” Cid hissed behind him.

“Yeah well I don’t listen to petty threats.” Squall growled and quickly turning around, then knocked the gun away. With a swift punch Cid was down on the ground and Squall left the room to get security. As he walked Zell, Seifer and Quistis came into view.

“What’s going on?” Seifer asked, seeing the look on the Commander’s face.

“Cid is here, he was hiding in my room with a gun, but I punched him. I’m pretty sure he’s unconscious.” He said and a loud bang made them stop.

“Squall?” Seifer whispered, noticing they were sprayed with blood and with a gasp the brunette fell forward. Behind him stood Cid who was sporting a broken nose and a handgun.

Looking down the three seen blood pooling around their friend and in a flash Seifer was on top of Cid beating him with all his strength. Quistis sent Zell to get help while she tried Curaga’s on the down man. The rest blurred out until Squall was resting in the Balamb hospital, they had to perform surgery, but so far no one was sure how he was going to be.

Meanwhile Seifer was free to be at the hospital, he ended up beating Cid to death, but he was released because he was defending the Garden Commander…or something like that. The hardest thing was Edea after she saw her lover laying on the Garden floor in a pool of his own blood and not moving.

The doctor’s told them that the bullet lodged in Squall’s spine and the surgery removed it, but it wasn’t certain if he would ever walk again. Only time would tell.
