Epilogue:
The only exercise I had ever liked is swimming and is because is the only refreshing exercise for me. So, I wonder for the millionth time… Why the heck am I running, punching, fencing, jumping, hiding, pushing, pulling, and so on? I ran into this very cute boy, but barely cares about anything except his paycheck… if I can call it that, then there's this black muscular with a gun… yes a freaking gun that can shoot, on his arm, with a temper that can get you kill if you don't be careful. His name is Barret by the way.
Getting to the point now, I am on a mission on getting back to MY world by helping the Avalanche saving THEIR world from dying. I really don't know what am I doing, and Barret says I shouldn't mess around with them (The Shinra Inc.) because it can get me killed and I might ruined their plan (Barret's gang), so they told me that I should stay with Tifa in Seven Heaven bar. Problem is that Tifa is planning to go tomorrow to that very same mission. She seems to have a thing with Cloud. So I'll probably will be babysitting Barret's little girl, Marlene. Yeah… that won't be happening, I already know their plan and I know how to get on a train and find my own way to Shinra Company's tower all I need are the details which they'll be discussing tomorrow morning. I may be a complete normal girl in a really bizarre world with crazy people and creepy monsters, but I won't let that stop me.
Chapter One: The Games Begin
I was mad that evening. My brother was getting ready to leave when he gave me a game and told me to put it in his room. The game was from the PS one, and it read "Final Fantasy VII" There was a blonde guy with a big sword on the cover of the game. I just tossed it and left it on the living room table while I answered to him in my moody-indifferent tone "Sure, when I have the time…". He just turned toward me and gave me the look. He gives me that look every time before lecturing me. I breathed in and got ready for it.
"You know, he's not the last guy in this world. You shouldn't be so gloom because of that idiot." He said while putting on his leather jacket.
"That's easy for you to say, you still got your girlfriend…"I said biting my lips.
"That's because I care about her and I'll do anything for her to keep her smile everyday on and bright… if that bastard didn't even give you an explanation that means his not worth half a cent. So get over him" he went to pick up his keys and before he opened the door he turned to look at me and gave me a smile "You'll meet a guy, who will appreciate you from who you are… so when you meet…" he looked away and he immidiently changed the topic "Hey, you haven't played PlayStation… why don't you play that game over there and if you can manage to get to the 2nd CD… I'll tell you a secret." He winked at me and left for his date… just like that.
All my mind could think was "What secret?" I wanted to punch him, why didn't he finished that other sentence So when you meet… meet what, meet who, how will I meet him, what will happened, what will I do? I know he suck at this kind of Mushy stuff, but why didn't he at least finished the sentences.
I got up, even more upset than before, I took the game on my hand and started to analyze it. I'm not much of a game person, but if it will take HIM off of my mind, I'm all for it. I went to my brother's room and turned on the PS2, it took me a few minutes to realize how to open the game consoler, but I managed. While the game was loading I was taking my sandals off, I somehow tripped and I used the big TV as a support, I saw the screen flash and I suddenly felt all dizzy. There was this strong urged, and I felt like something was swallowing me. It reminded me of the time when I was stuck in a whirlpool in a beach in San Juan Puerto Rico. I was 7 and if it wasn't for my brother I would've drown.
I was now…floating. My eyes were closed, and I felt warm… it felt relaxing floating on nothing. Then, just like that, I was laying down on soft green grass. There was a lot of wind and I had never seen a sky more blue than the one I was under at the moment. I got up, and I started to look around me. I was… I was… I had no idea where I was! There was lot of green grass and in the distance I saw a red house. I followed the path toward it. There was nothing else to do, and I was constantly pinching my right arm as if to wake up, nothing but a small bothering pain.
It took me a while to get there, and suddenly I felt embarrassed. I was wearing a yellow t-shirt which I usually wear to sleep, and black sweat pants. One of my sandals was missing; I couldn't feel any more miserable than that moment. I was constantly repeating helplessly, is all a dream, is all a dream… but the earth, the grass, the rocks… it all felt too real.
I finally reached the red house, which it was actually a farm. As I got closer to see if there was anyone that could help me, I heard strange sounds… it belonged to an animal, and when I really look what was in the farm, my mouth felt. They were huge, they were all yellow… they were birds! They were at least two times bigger than me. Now I really wanted to know where I was.
