PROLOGUE

Angel of the night runs through the streets, praying for some kind of salvation. Her blonde hair grows wild in the wind and her eyes of pure blue begin to appear vague. Lost in the purple sky above, memories flood through her mind. Memories that shouldn't be in the future but she just cant put them in the past. With a heavy breath she slowly looks over her shoulder checking to see if there still following, chasing her but only darkness can be seen.

The girl reaches the shore to breath, she just wants to keep running but just cant anymore. Just to run, run far from this life. The angel looks out to the ocean and begins to scream, just screaming. It feels like her lungs will burst but that doesn't stop her. The tears being to flows she drops to her knees and begs for forgiveness.

"I'M SORRY, I'm sorry for everything I have done, and for everything I didn't' please forgive me" she screams. "PLEASE…please please" she sobs but deep down she knows no one will answer.

"There she is, don't let the woman get away!" The group of men head in her direction. "Oh, god help me give me wings let me fly" the angel whispers to herself. She finally gets the strength to get up and run, run for her life. She runs through the sand and heads for the jagged rocks, with the men not far behind. Screaming. that's all they do is scream.

The angel is finally trapped, no where to go, no more running all hope is lost. She stands with her back against the rocks just staring. The men stare back, she closes her eyes. "BANG". As she slowly falls to the ground they just stare coldly, no remorse. They march back into the purple night except one a tear slowly rolls down his cheek he turns to follow his leader. And the dead angel of the night can now fly. Afigure stands over the angel.There voice hollow and soulless...

"This is who you are. Nothing more, nothing less. You are the one who will save them all. The one with icy blue eyes, is you. Let me open your eyes, see beyond what the eyes see. Sleep now for this is the last time. Confused? You should be. Rest beauty, for every flaw you have will gain you everything you ever wanted. I know who you are, I know who you were and I know who you will become. The innocents of your tears, will rectify this situation. Your justified fear, will bring you your retribution. Look beyond reality and open this path to your true soul. Arise. Arise. ARISE."

"Ahhhhhhhh, god what is happening to me." Quistis screamed jumping up in her bed, looking down at the blood on her hand and the horror images still lurking in her head.
