Guilty Soul

Chapter 1: Nightmare

I lay in a field with my friends...cloud..tifa...yuffie and cid... We all are having a amazing time just laughing and yuffie teasing cloud... then all of a sudden these...things show up...black little creatures...heartless... We are running for our lives... Yuffie, Cid and I make it to the ship but..where are cloud and tifa? I run back to see them just turned away from me..when I grabbed clouds shoulder and turn him around all I see is a heartless...and so is tifa..they grabbed me and held me down..I screamed for help..but no one came..then I hear someone yelling my name...then I awoke..

"Air? Air?! Wake up!"

I jerk up to see leon shaking me...I'm drenched in sweat, tears running down my cheeks. I shake my head and gasp for air...it was suddenly so hard to breathe.. when I look around I see yuffie and cid in the room as well.

They all sigh with relief. Leon grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from my forehead. "Thank god your ok...we heard you screaming and crying from pain jesus you sounded like you were dying..."

Yuffie nodded. "Yeah! you scared the hell out of us!"

I tried to fake a smile. "Dont worry about me im fine just had a scary dream is all..."

Yuffie smiled. "Since we all are wide awake now how bout we grab some snacks and put some movies on in here your tv still works right?"

Leon shakes his head and looks at her. "Ya...how about you two grab the snacks while air and I will try to find a good movie."

Cid and yuffie both nod and leave the room. I wipe my full face and lay against the wall leon looked away and scratched his head. "You had that nightmare again? You seem to have that nightmare often..."

I looked away. "Yeah..I just...I wish I could have saved them...its all my fault..I had to get lost..if I hadnt yelled for help..if I hadnt gotten lost..they would have survived they would be here with us..."

Leon just shook his head and hugged me tight. "Dont you dare start blaming yourself again...they chose to help you, its not your fault it never was so quit working yourself up over something thats in the past ok?.."

I give him a fake smiled and tell him ok..but it wasnt ok..it never will be..its my fault...you dont just let guilt go..it will always be there..but I can at least fake that im fine..not to worry my friends..

Yuffie and cid come in with the snacks, we pick a scary movie. It was fun watching yuffie jump at every scary part and cid trying to scare her. By the time the movie was over everyone but leon and I are asleep Cid and yuffie are asleep on the floor with their pillows. I lay in bed with leon right beside me, he smiles. "I hope you know we all care for you deeply and will always be here for you..lets get some sleep before yuffie starts snoring.."

We both laugh a little. I smiled and hugged him, he blushed and scratched his head. "U...um..g..good night..."

"Good night.." We both fall asleep...whenever my friends are around I can finally sleep peacefully..
