Notes: heh, heh. This is what happened when I tried to write Clearis WAFF.  Than I realised it worked much better with Vincent and Lucretia and I don't write WAFF. Nothing else to write apart from Vincent and Lucretia both belong to Squaresoft along with any other names, places, etc mentioned from Final Fantasy.

"Vincent!"

" Lucretia!" Her voice, like music to my ears. Even while I sleep her voice can dispel the dark nightmares tha haunt me.

"Vincent!"

" Lucretia, ….I'm dreaming" My mind has surprised me as to being able to recreate the perfect harmony of her voice. Or perhaps it's the mako with in me that enables me to torture myself, Hojo's final punishment.

" Vincent, I'm here with you now. My spirit has reached your mind while you sleep."

" Lucretia, you can't. I'm not worth it. I…I couldn't save you. Be with Sephiroth in death just don't haunt my dreams any longer." I didn't save her, the dark side underneath the innocence of my love.

 " Vincent, please. I can be with you beyond death; there is a way. Just open your mind and I'll be there…"

 " Lucretia, you can't. You never will be able to. This is all a cruel trick to punish me for not saving you." A cruel trick but I deserve it.

" Vincent, how can you think that? I could have come to you all these years but you will never see unless you stop hurting yourself."

 " But you are. You're there when I eat, sleep, drink… a ghostly image of your previous self, smiling at me but never speaking."

 " Vincent, please… you must understand."

 " And when I try to talk to you or hold you one last time to feel the gossamer touch of your hair you're gone. You're killing me Lucretia!"

 " Vincent that is your mind!"

" Than how do I know you're not the illusions of my mind as well? The real Lucretia wouldn't do this to me."

 " Vincent, I am here and if you would only try, try to release the sorrow and accept me I could be with you."

 " No Lucretia, I can't. Why do you persist at this game? Don't you realise you're slowly unravelling my mind?"

 " Just open your heart, just…"

 " I have turned light in it's purest form into a cavity in my heart; feeding off my guilt and…"

  " Vincent, don't say that! Please just…"

 " But it's not possible, it'll never be possible…"

   " It can be! Let me enter your life, your heart….."

   " You can never enter my heart. I lost it the day you died."

    "No Vincent, I know it's still there. Please open your heart. We only have one chance."

   " I can't."

     "Vincent!"

    "Lucretia!"

    "Open you…."

 Vincent woke up in the morning to turn to the space next to him in the bed having long ago forsaken the coffin. It was empty like it always was.

A/N Well that was weird. First time I've ever written a fanfic where Vincent actually speaks so his character is probably a little off.
