Death forest by devil_angel Chapter 1 Squall gazed out his window longingly. It had almost been 3 years since Ultimecia had been defeated, and he was bored. Rinoa had to leave, back to Deling City. Her father had insisted she come back, which made it worse. Quistis had her instructor licence back, so she was teaching. Galbadia Garden was once again up and running, so Irvine went back. 'He wouldn't miss a chance' Squall thought angrily. Nothing was the same. Zell and Selphie weren't as much fun to hang out with than Rinoa. He was angry at all of them for leaving. Squall closed the window just as it started pouring. He decided to go to the cafeteria for lunch, then go to the training centre for some peace and quiet.

A man in a black cloak and black clothes held her in his iron grasp. " He may be your boyfriend" he croaked " But you cannot save him unless you want to be like he is. turned to stone. You can only yell, yell until your voice runs out. Then you will be passed on to the shadow world DO NOT GO INTO THE FOREST OF DEATH!!! Then he disappeared. No one ever saw Rinoa again. She kept running, running across the fields. Yelling. Screaming. Looking for her now stone love, banished somewhere. She had to find the Death Forest. She had to. the last person saw her going into a forest with a deathly black glow around it................ The forest of Death :->.....................
