Murder Mayhem
By RenaLanford65
Falling…falling… A gun went off. Something lodged itself in my chest. Someone screamed. Was it Rikku?
"Tidus! Tidus!"
"Nooo!"
I felt tears swarming down my face, like an angry pack of bees that had been waiting for the right opportunity. More people shouted my name, people I couldn't identify. Did I know these people?
"Tidus?"
Who is Tidus? Am I…?
"I am not going to lose you!"
How am I going to get lost?
My eyes flitted open for a second. Colors and faces swirled together, making me feel queasy.
"Tidus!"
Stop calling me that…
Loud screams and shouts erupted from my surroundings. The colors swarmed together, creating an amazing hue of white. A light. But before me was an obstacle. A tunnel.
"Tidus!"
I ignored their shouts and their pleas, minimal things that meant little or nothing to me.
Why should I care? They aren't following me. They don't care about me.
Still thinking as I neared the light that drew closer, I began to recognize the voices.
"Tidus!" That was Yuna. Pathetic Yuna. She never tried to get in my way, but she always did.
"Don't go away again!" Rikku called.
"No!" That was an unrecognizable voice. Was it mine?
I heard struggles and screaming. Then my ears shut off.
I drew closer to the tunnel. Now I could touch it.
Faces, places, and voices flashed before my eyes. There was Yuna, smiling at me, whistling. Her lips were moving, but it wasn't her voice. A name came to me.
Auron. He was the cause of this all.
"This is where your story ends."
And now I fall, forever, forced to bear the life that flashed before my eyes.
All from a single bullet.
