Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ FF8 in the arms of an angel ❯ Walk with me ( Chapter 2 )

Now Squall wasn't one to believe in mysterious happenings so the first place to investigate of course would be the training grounds, if there was one feather maybe there was more. He began by remembering how he had entered before, the dim green light giving off a menacing look as he did. He cautiously pulled out his gunblade and surveyed the room; his feet fell silent on the fake grass as he looked for anything that looked so much as out of place. Adrenaline rushed through his veins like a river as he heard a noise and spun around, “h…hello???” he asked trying to reassure himself more than to find out what it was that had created that racket. A snicker came from a piled up piece of metal that created the noise, he felt a shiver up his spin as another piece of metal from the ceiling fell down and created a barricade to his final exit. “Crap!!!” he yelled and did a horizontal slice to the stomach to the attacker now behind him, but the blow never landed, he found a girl about 5'5 staring at him with playful eyes that didn't seem scared of him or anything else for that matter. Her black shaggy hair was without any restraint it seemed because it looked very clean, but like a wild animal which gave off an odd appearance he had never seen before. Her eyes were like gold surrounded by a forest even richer in color that even when she cocked her head, they seemed to give off a wild bluish tint that could possibly go on forever and ride on the next breeze. Her features were so wild but cute that he almost wanted to reach out and touch her check to see if she would pull back, possibly bite him, or curl her hand into his. “You're Leonhart, right?” she asked with a giggle in her tone but professional as if demanding the question, possibly without both put together they wouldn't sound right to him, it came with a sweet but sour question to it that he couldn't bear but answer. “Yes….” His voice was quiet but enough to tell his confusion was rising to the surface with extreme doubt of her strength. “Haha…Like relating to a thunderstorm, I get it,” she pushed away the blade at that with such force that it almost spun from him but he fixated the weight in his wrists and let it plop to the ground with a metal clang. Was he, COULD he be bold enough seeing such an art of complexities in her to say something hostile back? She had surprised him right? He had an entitlement to it, “who the hell are you??!!” he said a little too loud that even the iron cranes rang above them, she gave a chuckle and leapt back as if this was a game to her. “Take a walk with me,”

“What??!!! No!!”

She gave a sad frown at that. “Awww…please??”

“First things first….your name.” He said with an impatient tone.

“Impact,”

He raised an eyebrow at that, “you mean…that's your name?” Who in their right mind would name their kid that? Not him that's for sure, but she didn't look offended, she gave a twirl and now gracefully sauntered inches away from his face. ”Mmmyup, like a bullet hitting a bomb…see? Impact...” Squall rubbed his forehead confused but a feeling reassurance washed over him, she now had his hand and tugged on his hand. “c'mon…walk with me…” with a small nudge he did as they made their way outside to the secret grounds.
