Distant Memories
-a final fantasy fanfic story-
By: Dréa
Abby's P.O.V.
Oh my gosh, was that a nightmare or...was it real?
I was lying in my bed and very much awake. I had just had a dream or nightmare of something. I wasn't sure what it was. I looked down at my ring; the opal was glowing, while the band of the ring felt like it was burning my finger.
I hope Cloud is alright, knowing him he probably got himself into some kind of trouble or maybe...the dream was real and that's what happening to Cloud!
"Hey Abby, what where do you keep the cereal?"
I shook my head leaving the trance that I was in. I better go help Caitlyn. Sometimes I just couldn't believe she was Cloud's sister. Especially when she acted all hyper, happy, and sometimes stupid if ya know what I mean.
"Abby, are you still sleeping up there, come on woman you got to wake up sometime today it's already 8:30a.m. and I'm hungry."
I laughed in my head, sometimes Caitlyn could be so mush trouble. I heard Caitlyn's footsteps coming up the stairs. I quickly laid back down to make myself look like I was still sleeping. She opened the door.
"Abby you awake?"
She laughed when she saw that I was still sleeping.
"Abby, hun, you gotta get up, you can't sleep all day, come on wake up."
I started to feel like I was being pulled back into my dreams or depths of my mind. I tried to open my eyes to show Caitlyn that I was only pretending to be asleep but I couldn't.
What was happening to me? Even though I couldn't hear anything or see anything because I was being pulled into my dreams I was aware that Caitlyn was shaking me and trying to wake me up. Next I felt my body go limp; I couldn't tell myself to move. I felt like screaming out to someone, anyone. Why couldn't I do anything, what was going on?! Does this have anything to do with my earlier dream about Cloud being in trouble? Maybe Caitlyn will try and call Cloud? No, what am I thinking Cloud never answers his cell phone he only listens to messages. Darn Cloud, why don't you ever answer your cell phone. Why can't you be here with me or help me with whatever's happening to me? Cloud...
I was being pulled deeper into my dreams still unaware of what was happening. For a second I thought I heard Caitlyn call my name but maybe I was just hearing what I wanted to hear. I saw a brief flash of Cloud smiling at me, which was rare. Cloud never smiled even though his smile was so... so perfect and beautiful. Seeing him smile made me want to smile.
I saw another image except this time I felt like I was there. I was at the Life Stream and Vincent was there standing in the water. Wait... he's holding something, it looks like a person. Who could it be? I tried yelling Vincent's name but he didn't hear me or maybe he couldn't hear me. Vincent started to turn around and walk out of the water. He was holding Cloud! Was Cloud alright, what was wrong with him? Then the worst thought formed in my head... Could he be dead? No, he couldn't be dead, why did I ever think that. I tried to run over to Vincent and Cloud but couldn't. The image of them started to fade away. "Cloud come back, Vincent answer me, don't leave."
Everything went black then there was something new.
There were 2 kids, a boy with curly sandy blonde hair and a girl with dark brown hair in a half ponytail with a pink bow. They looked familiar but I couldn't remember where I had seen them.
Wait. Cloud had told me that Tiffa and he had taken care of 2 kids named Denzel and Marlene. They must be about 2 years older than they were in the photo I saw.
