AN: I did this short fanfic, because I hate it when people thinks that Aerith was a happy-go-lucky person... I mean, she lost Zack, Turks were chasing her and she gave up her life, just to save people, who probably wouldn't know about her at all... *sigh* Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it.
Warnings: Character death, may be little OOC
Aerith's death
Chapter 1
Aerith just sat there and stared at her hands. She couldn't find peace… Why? Because of those eyes. Mako enchanted eyes… Zack's… Cloud's… Sephiroth's… Soldier's… The flower girl shuddered. Why does the Planet keeps sending her even more challenges?!
She already lost Zack, and now it's Cloud's turn… No, he wasn't going to leave Aerith. She will.
Yes, she knew… The Planet has told her. She's going to leave her friends behind, where they couldn't follow.
Suddenly she heard a loud crash. So, it's time… Aerith pressed her hands closer to chest. And waited.
Piercing pain shot through the girl's body, and all of her life came back to her in short flashes of emotions and visions.
The life of simple flower girl from slums… Her promise to Tifa to stay friends forever; happiness of being there, when Vincent needed; regret of not visiting Nanaki's father with fire-lion himself; and relief… For not having to see those eyes anymore…
As she fell to cold ground, she heard someone call her name. Rising her head Aerith saw, that everyone was there… She let out her last breath saying "I'm sorry", and closed her eyes… Forever… And still, the last memory she had was Cloud's eyes. Fate is cruel, right?
