The sun rose high over the city of Midgar. Only 2 years had passed since the
Meteor incident. Only 1 year since Cloud and Tifa got married. And only 29 years since
Vincent Valentine had had his run in with Hojo.
Vincent stood outside Tifa's new bar in Kalm. He had never noticed the name,
and wouldn't spend the time now to check it. He would always call it 'the bar' if he ever
needed to talk about it. He was stressed, because even now, 2 years after his revenge on
Hojo, he still felt the sadness of the loss of his dear Lucriea. To make matters worse, in
the final hours before Meteor's destruction, Shin-Ra Mansion had been burned to the
ground, so that he had been unable to return to his coffin, the closest thing he would ever
get to a peaceful rest in death.
He knew this for a fact, for three days ago, he had attempted to end his life. He
felt frustration as he loaded Death Penalty, put the barrel deep into his mouth, and pulled
the trigger, only to feel the pain, and then see the curse act, healing his wound in a
matter of minutes. It was then he knew that he would never see Lucriea, his Mother, or any
of the others he held close to him ever again. He would feel pain, as he saw the new friends he
had found in AVALANCHE die, one by one of old age. Then he would live onward, for
the rest of eternity, never to see them again, even in the afterlife.
Tifa's calls pierced his brooding. She had grown older by two years, meaning two
fewer years that he could spend with her, before they were separated by eternity.
Vincent, entered the Bar, to see the entire group of AVALANCHE there. Cloud was in
the back, helping Tifa clean the glasses. Barret and Cid were near a window, arguing
about something unimportant. Yuffie was with Cait, most likely annoying the robotic cat
to no ends. Nanaki was there as well, curled up against a wall, thinking. Nanaki was the
only one whom Vincent could relate to. It often confused him, why they insisted on
calling Nanaki 'Red', but it was no worry to him, or to Nanaki. Vincent went over, and
sat down at the table closest to Nanaki.
"Vincent, you look down." Nanaki said, seriousness in his voice. Nanaki was the
one Vincent would miss the most, and the last he would lose. But, like everything else,
eventually Nanaki would vanish too, leaving him alone for all time.
"Vincent, would you mind telling me what's wrong." Nanaki asked again looking
up to Vincent's eyes.
"Not now Nanaki, one of the others might overhear, and you're the only one
who'd understand." Vincent replied, the sadness apparent, as always, in his blood-red
eyes.
"I understand, I shall talk to you after the reunion." Nanaki stood up, and the
intelligent lion walked onward, looking to share a conversation with one of the others.
The AVALANCHE Reunion was set on the anniversary of Aries's death, with the
believing that that would allow her to participate in the reunion, at least in spirit. Yuffie
walked over, and sat down across from Vincent a smirk on her face.
"Whassup Vinnie?" Yuffie asked, her annoying nature shining though. Vincent
didn't mind her as much as the others did, but her carefree attitude did tend to get on his
nerves.
"Nothing for you to worry about," Vincent said. The main problem he had around
Yuffie was that she reminded him too much of Lucriea, and it caused him pain to here her
carefree manner of talking. Brought up to many painful memory's.
"Well Gawd, you don't hafta be so anti-social. Get up, have some fun."
"You don't understand Yuffie, no one could possibly understand what I' worrying
about."
"Try me, kay Vinnie?" Yuffie challenged, her tone becoming mischievous. She
had always wondered what made Vincent tick, and she thought that she might be on her
way to an answer.
"I'm planning on telling Red after the Reunion, if you can wait until then, I might
tell you as well. Key word being might."
"Gawd, you're jus too damn private. Well, I'm gonna go have some fun." Yuffie
walked off, and joined the others.
He wasn't planning on telling her, because she would need the entire story to
possibly begin to understand, and the entire story would take weeks to tell. Suddenly the
idea hit him, that he could spend the time, and tell the entire story, then, just maybe, they
could find the solution to his curse, to the curse of immortality. He than hurried off to
find Nanaki, and tell him his idea.
? ? ? ? ? ? Well, how did you like it? This was my first ever attempt at
writing a fanfic, and I think it turned out well. Remember, this is jus da prologue, the real
story don start till da 1st chapter. In the main story the chapters will be longer, more
complicated, and will get darker and darker as the story progresses.
Questions, Comments, Flames (please god, let me be from the last one until is
start making Vincent's life miserable) e-mail me at slent@ignmail.com
