I own every character in this story except the ones from Final Fantasy VII...so I own no one...yea...I'm creative.
Chapter One: Everyone's Gone
"Everyone's gone..."
Those words seemed to strike Tifa in the heart as she finally realized that her only friends left in the world had just left to go find their own reasons for staying in this fight. Now that they were gone she realized that there was no one else for her to see. No one else that she could think to want to spend what might be her last moments with...no one else except the man now standing behind her in the distance.
"Yeah," said Cloud. "...we don't have anywhere or anyone to go home to."
After hearing someone other than her mind say that she felt the true pain of loneliness. Looking down so as to soften her sorrowful answer.
"You're right..." she said.
Deciding to try to lighten the mood, she straightened her hair as she looked up with hope in her eyes.
"But...I'm sure someday...they'll come back, don't you think?"
The blonde swordsman seemed to contemplate that statement for a moment.
"Hmm...I wonder...?" he said, "Everyone has an irreplaceable something they're holding on to..."
Tifa thought about that statement. What everyone would want to protect.
"But this time..." he continued, "our opponent..."
That thought had, once again, brought back the realization of what they would soon be encountering. Tifa had thought about the consequences that might follow should their party fail what they would be trying to accomplish.
Although not showing it, she had a great sense of fear about letting people down. And in this case, the whole planet. For her there was no one left in particular for her except those beside her. But in everyone else's case, it wasn't just the planet. It was those others they cared about. Their whole world...
So there's my first chapter. Reviews are appreciated!
