Creatures of the Night

Conversations, games and fights

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.

Quistis got up from her chair and walked to the door. It was an unusual Saturday morning, mainly because any other Saturday she would be sleeping after a slaying night. She opened the door and looked to the brown-haired man and the beautiful dog she had in front of her blue eyes.

"Hey..." said Squall waving his hand to Quistis "Hi Squall! Hey Angelo!" said Quistis patting the lovely dog's head "Quistis, I have to talk with you... -said Squall looking to the floor- aboutt Ron Montgomery" "Oh! ok...come in" She motioned Squall to walk into her bedroom. Once he and Angelo were in she closed the door.

"Can you wait me a minute? asked Quistis, Squall nodded. The blonde instructor walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Squall was staring to the walls, looking to the pictures of all of them he smiled. I remember that one...it was at the party, after Ultimecia's defeat.

*-*-*-*-* Flashback *-*-*-*-*

The entire garden was in the ballroom, having a great time after their Commander and friends saved the world from time compression. Selphie was recording everything in her video camera "Irvy, I think it's time to take a picture of this moment" said Selphie to the sharpshooter "All right I'm going to look for Rinoa and Squall who, I think, are still on the balcony. You get Quistis, Zell and...ask to the library girl if she can take us a picture" said Irvine before running towards the balcony.

Selphie walked to their table to tell her friends "Hey! Claire...could you take us a picture?" asked the green-eyed girl "Alright!" answered the librarian handling Zell a soda so he would not choke again with his lovely hot dogs.

Irvine walked towards them with a happy Rinoa and a very pissed off Squall "I told you! I don't want to be in any picture" said Squall with a serious tone in his voice "C'mon Squall! Don't be like that, man!" said Irvine sitting down on a chair next to Quistis.

"Squall! You have to be in the picture! Everybody's going to be! C'mon for Rin!" pleaded Selphie, Squall sighted; he hated that his friends always forced to do something because of Rinoa, they knew that for her he would do anything. "Whatever..."

"WOOHOO!!" said Selphie jumping.

Selphie sat down in the nearest chair next to Irvine, with her head on his shoulder, both of them smiling. Zell, who was next to Irvine, was hugging the latter and Quistis was hugging Rinoa. Rinoa was between Quistis and Squall, hugging both of them and with a huge smile on her face whereas Squall was as serious as always.

"Ok! I'm going to take the picture!" said Claire standing in front of them "Squall smile!" shouted Claire.

"But..." said the commander "C'mon Squally!" said Rinoa kissing his cheek "Allright"

"One...Two...Three!" She pressed the button. All of them were smiling.

*-*-*-*-* End of Flashback *-*-*-*-*

Quistis opened the bathroom's door; she was dressed in a brown knee length skirt and a white sleeveless shirt. "Squall, did I make you wait a lot?" asked Quistis sitting down on the bed. Squall shocked his head "Nah...I was looking to the pictures," said Squall pointing the one at the celebration party, Quistis smiled "Ok...so what do you wanted to talk about? -asked Quistis- Sit down"

Squall grabbed a chair and sat down in front of her "Ok... Dr. Kadowaki called me and left a message saying that Ron's bite wasn't a bat's one, of course we already know that a vampire killed him...what I'm trying to say is that...you said you killed vampires the night before, right?" Quistis remembered how she staked the vampires and all of them were turned to dust "Yeah...then I walked in, talked a bit with Seifer..." "With Seifer?" asked surprised Squall, Quistis nodded "...and came to my room" finished Quistis.

Quistis looked down at Angelo. She was sleeping on the floor, next to her. She looked at Squall and after seen him thinking she looked back at Angelo and scratched Angelo's back and patted her on the head. Squall stood up "I'll continue...- Quistis looked at him- Ok, you returned, talked to Seifer, went to sleep, the next day Ron's bitten and...here's the important thing...Mr. Johnson's alright... that means the vampire or whatever bit Ron didn't walked in here, he's here" explained Squall looking at Quistis.

"You've made a good point but...Maybe the vampire didn't attacked Mr. Johnson and walked in, bit Ron and got out" said Quistis "Quistis, either way the Garden is in danger, we should tell Cid about it" Quistis nodded "I'll think about it"

Squall opened the door "Angelo let's go!" he call out and the beautiful dog ran to him. Quistis got up and closed the door.

Zell, Irvine and Claire were in the cafeteria having lunch and playing triple triad while they talked about last night.

"Do you remember when the vampire -he took a bite from his hot dog- ssharted roonnin loke crazie?" said, or tried to say, Zell to his girlfriend and his best friend. "Zell...could you swallow your food and then talk?" asked the black-haired girl "Yes ma'am" answered the blonde SeeD.

"Claire, could you continue playing? Or we left it like a draw?" asked Irvine taking a sip from his coffee "In your dreams Irvine, I'm going to beat you again" said confidently Claire putting her Bahamut's card under Selphie's card changing its color.

Zell was eating and looking at Irvine and Claire playing Damn...why I must suck on triple triad or why they have to be so good at it? he thought. He looked to the cafeteria's door and saw Seifer walking in Great...this is just great.... Some months after Ultimecia's defeat Seifer returned to Garden to become a SeeD, this time he passed the exam, and started hanging with his 'orphanage friends' after Selphie told him they had forgiven him because they knew he was being manipulated by Ultimecia but still he and Zell didn't get along to well.

Seifer sat down in a chair next to Irvine and looked at Zell "Hey chicken wuss!" greeted Seifer with his cocky smirk "WHAT DID YOU CALLED ME?" shouted Zell making all the cafeteria to look at him "uhhh...sorry!" Everyone returned to their activities.

"Zell...don't take him seriously" advised Irvine looking at Claire who was going to put her last card on the board "You'll die when you see with which card I'm going to win, Irvine" said Claire giggling "Let's see then..." said Irvine smirking. Claire carefully placed her Blobra card under Irvine's Leviathan card changing its color.

"WHAT?? A blobra card turned my precious leviathan card?" mumbled Irvine Damn... "I told you, I was going to win again but you can have it back" said Claire handling Irvine her, now, leviathan card "No, Claire you won. Keep it yourself" said Irvine not accepting the GFs card "But is yours! I'm not going to talk more about it! Take it!" said Claire putting the card on his hands "Thanks Claire" She nodded "But I won".

Squall was walking with Angelo through B-Garden's halls checking if everything was alright. There weren't many students in the halls It's Saturday, remember Squall... he said to himself. Most of the students went out during Saturday and some of them visited their families, mainly the ones that had families in Balamb.

Angelo was sniffing something "What is it girl?" mumbled Squall. The intelligent dog sniffed the odor through the halls, to the dormitory. From there, she started running "Angelo! Wait!" yelled Squall running after her towards the girls section. She sat down outside a cadet's room. Jill Lenk? "What's happening Angelo? C'mon let's get out of here," said Squall dragging the dog out of the girls section to the living room, between the boys and girls section.

"Squall!"

Squall turned and saw Rinoa and Selphie walking towards him with lots of shopping bags with a big smile on their faces. Selphie said goodbye to the couple and walked towards her room. Rinoa put her bags over a black leather couch and patted her dogs head, then she turned to give Squall a soft kiss on the lips. After a bit Squall pulled away and sat down on the leather sofa.

"Squall...something's wrong?" asked Rinoa worried. Squall looked at her and told her what had happened a few minutes ago. "I don't know, Rin...I think we must check what's going on in that bedroom and then close Garden for a while". Rinoa sat next to him and hugging him, she whispered, "We'll figure this out, don't worry".

It was past midnight and rain was falling off the sky wetting Quistis Trepe and Zell Dincht, who were in their usual night patrol outside B-Garden. She was carrying a stake inside her jacket and Zell a cross bow "Quistis! This is amazing I've never used this weapon!" said excitedly Zell. Quistis rolled her eyes and looked behind Zell.

"Watch out!"

Zell moved a side and avoided the vampire's attack, Zell punched the vampire on the face throwing it to the grass, the vampire stood up and punched Zell, again, on the face and pushed him to a tree Oh Shit! thought Zell trying to get up. The vampire turned and looked at Quistis, she run to him with her stake on her hand but the undead creature blocked her attack letting the stake fall next to him and kicking it far away. This wasn't the first time something like that happened to Quistis and she knew very well what to do on that situations, Run! thought the blonde instructor. Quistis turned and started running but she stumbled with the wet grass. Shit what I'll do now... The vampire was getting close to her Think, Quistis think quickly... The vampire was getting closer to her neck what can I do? That's right!

"Zell! The cross bow! ZELL!!!" shouted Quistis, the vampire looked at her with a confused face, he turned and the injured SeeD pressed the crossbow's trigger shooting the vampire in his heart, dusting him.

Quistis quickly stood up and walked towards Zell "Are you alright?" He nodded and tried to get up but fell to the wet grass "I guess I'm not so well, huh? My back hurts" Quistis and Zell smiled "I guess it's time to get back to Garden" She helped him to get up, he puts his arm around her shoulder and she puts her arm around his waist, and walked towards B-Garden silently.
