Creatures of the Night

Another cloudy day

In every generation, there is a chosen one. She alone shall stand against the demons, the vampires and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer.

 15 vampires later...

Quistis staked the last vampire with the observant glare of her friends. Everyone had fought with the undead creatures, they even 'played' a little with the last vampire before Quistis staked him. Irvine casted a "fire" spell but he only made the vampire run around in circles yeling, then Claire casted a "stop" spell but it didn't inflict any damage to the vampire, finally Quistis staked him.

"I'm tired" said Zell sitting down on the wet sand in Balamb's coast with his friends "Quisty, you did this alone? How long? Why you didn't told us before?" asked concerned Selphie. Quistis smiled at her worried friend "I've been doing this for about...two years. I didn't told you because it is my destiny, it's my job" Selphie smiled 

"But Quistis...why you decided to tell us?" asked Zell.

"Because I...I...couldn't do this alone anymore...I needed your help. Guys..you don't know how tiring this slayer-thing can be, I couldn't prepare well my classes because at night I was here fighting vampires or demons and when I returned to my bedroom I only wanted to sleep and that was what I did everyday." answered Quistis whipping away some tears. Quickly Rinoa, Selphie and Claire hugged her.

Squall was looking towards the fire cavern, he had noticed someone there, he wasn't so sure if he was looking at them but somehow it was weird...

"Squall!" shouted Irvine "Where are you going?"

Squall turned to face his friends, he had been walking towards the fire cavern "uh...I thought I saw someone there" answered Squall looking to the Ifrit's lair again.

The sky was beautiful that night, the stars were shinning as ever and the eight friends were talking, mainly asking Quistis things they should know about vampires and demons.

"So Quistis...how did you find out you were the slayer? Somebody told you or you discovered it by yourself?" asked Claire.

Should I tell this to them? What'll they say about it? "...Matron told me"

Everyone was shocked Edea? She told Quistis? How did she know? thought Rinoa, there was an awful silence for some minutes, that seem like eternity, but Rinoa had to know "uh...Quistis how did she knew you were the...the slayer?" Quistis thought carefully her answer before answering something without sense.

"I really don't know how she knew, maybe it had something to do with her sorceress powers...but I remember the exact words as if she had talked to me yesterday, this is what she said to me: In every generation, there is a chosen one. She alone shall stand against the demons, the vampires and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer. You're this generation slayer, my child."

Everyone listened Quists attentive like if she was telling them some bedtime tale, not only she's one of the seeds who saved the world but she also is a slayer, the slayer thought Squall.

They stayed in the beach talking until 1:30 am when Zell started yawning and telling them they should get back to Garden. The gang stood up and walked towards B-Garden without encountering any monsters, vampires or demons but they didn't knew someone was watching them from a hidden place.

*º*º*º*º*º*º*º*º*º*º*º

The next day was just as cloudy and rainy as the day before. The Garden was still silent everyone was sleeping...well not everyone. Squall woke up and noticed Rinoa sleeping next to him with her hand on his chest. He kissed her forehead and turned to check the clock -5:58- "It's early..." mumbled Squall, he noticed a green light shinning in his pants, he grabbed them and took out his cell phone; he had a message.

"Squall, it's Dr. Kadowaki I called you but you didn't answered...anyway...I checked Ron Montgomery, the SeeD founded yesterday at the parking lot, and the bite he has isn't a bat one, he was bitten by something else. I'm going to continue researching if you can come to the Infirmary. Bye." said Dr. Kadowaki's recorded voice.

It wasn't a bat...It must have been a vampire but...who? Quistis said yesterday she had staked the night before a lot of them and Mr. Johnson (A/N: the guard at B-Garden's gate) is alright, so a vampire didn't walked in here, he's here. He closed his eyes DAMN! the students are in danger...

"Squally, are you Ok?" mumbled Rinoa getting closer to him "yes, uhh...I have to talk to Quistis, Rin" answered Squall looking at Rinoa's brown eyes, Rinoa nodded.

Squall got up from his bed and walked towards the bathroom I will have to talk with Headmaster Cid also, but I can't tell him that we must close Garden because a vampire's here...Quistis must decide if she wants to tell him thought Squall while he took a cold shower.  When he got out he found Rinoa already dressed.

"Going somewhere?" asked the handsome commander putting on his leather pants "I promised Selphie I was going to go with her to Balamb, she wanted to buy a new pair of boots and some dress or something like that" Squall rolled his eyes while he buttoned his pants "Squall...could you take Angelo out for a walk?" asked the young sorceress; he nodded, putting on his with shirt "oww...you're such a sweetie. I have to go. Bye" said Rinoa before she gave Squall a kiss on the lips. When they parted she patted Angelo's head and leaved their bedroom.

Quistis was in her bedroom dressed in her gray PJ checking some exams Thanks Hyne it's Saturday! thought the blonde Instructor At least now they now... She smiled at the thought of Selphie asking if she was a vampire.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Quistis!" shouted a male voice from outside

Balamb Town sure had changed. It was more modern now, maybe not as modern as Deling City or Esthar but thanks to the latter Balamb had now a huge mall -only beaten in size by Esthar's White Rose Mall (as it was called)- and some restaurants.

Rinoa and Selphie were walking happily in the mall checking every store looking for Selphie's black boots, a blue navy shirt and a white tank top with a puppy on it.

"Look!" said Rinoa to her green-eyed friend. Selphie's eyes widened when she looked across the window at her dream boots. They were black leather boots with zips on both sides. "OH HYNE!!!! I WANT THEM!!!" shouted excitedly Selphie making a lot of people turn to see her "I didn't knew you liked leather Selph" said Rinoa looking at them "I don't like to too much but when I saw this boots in the malls catalogue I felt in love with them at once!" answered Selphie while she dragged Rinoa inside the store to buy them. After some minutes a very happy Selphie walked out of the shoe-shop with a big smile on her face.

"Rin!! you hadn't bought anything!" exclaimed worried Selphie

"Don't worry...let's go to buy your skirt and your tank top. Maybe I'll buy something for me there" said Rinoa smiling.
