Ok...So I haven't wrote a fic in a long time, so this may seem a little rubbish to start off with, but it should improve. I rated this story a K+ just in case. (I'm not sure about the ratings xD) Any reviews are welcome, please be gentle though lol. I'll post some more when I can. Angeh xxx
Chapter one.
"Mummy, No! You can't die!" I screamed harshly, the bitter tears stinging in my eyes, blurring my vision completely.
Infalna grasped my hand tightly, her nails digging into my skin. But I didn't care; her usual beautifully warm skin was beginning to grow cold.
"Aerith…I love you so much, but you have to get away from here. They might still be on our trail." Infalna's voice fell silent.
For a moment we remained quiet, listening to nothing but the rain and the bustling of busy people trying to get on the train beside us.
Why won't anybody help us?
My tears finally spilled over. How could people be so cruel? My mother was dying on this freezing platform, and they all walked passed us as if we were nothing. Nobody even cast a fleeting look in our direction.
"Aerith, sweetheart, you have to go now. I don't want Them to get hold of you." Infalna was desperately gasping for air.
I knew she didn't have long left in this world.
"Oh my good Lord!"
The abrupt statement caused me to turn around in shock, my eyes falling upon the owner of the voice.
A pretty but ageing woman, with dark hair, dashed towards us.
I held on tighter to mum's dying body.
The dark haired woman knelt beside us, checking my mother's pulse, her faced etched deeply with sorrow.
"Please take Aerith to a better place. Please take care of her."
The mature woman looked from my mother to me and nodded in understanding.
"Thank you so much. Please, go now." My mother's shallow breaths beginning to rack her body of life.
The ageing woman made her way towards me, gently scooping me up from the sodden ground.
"No! I want to stay with mummy!" I cried, frantically trying to get out of the arms that held me so tightly.
But of course, it was in vain.
I ceased my struggling, trying to catch my breath.
I looked down at my mother, meeting intense green eyes, an almost replica of mine.
Her face was falling in colour to that of pure white snow.
Despite the pain that she must have been in from the Shin-ra gunshot wounds, she still managed a warm smile.
"Goodbye Aerith. We'll meet again someday. You, Daddy and me."
I tried to smile, but the pain and the fear inside of me had entirely broken free. My heart was breaking into tiny shards.
Even though she was dying, she still made sure to leave me with some hope, with her eternal last words to me.
"Aerith…you have a brother."
