SUMMARY: You fell into the life stream and it changed you… and when the children are kidnapped what do you then do? You stand up and fight and forget about him… chap 2 Read and review.
When she finally woke up she felt beside of herself. She felt like she had survived something terrible. She felt like her head was going to explode. She felt like her hands were burning. She slowly opened her eyes and saw her gloves had melted into her skin. Small black jewels had melted into her skin. She closed her eyes. What had she become? She felt afraid… she didn't want to open her eyes again. She didn't want to realize that she had become. What had Aeirth done to her? What had the life stream done. She slowly took a deep breath. She knew… she was supposed to be happy. She was alive. Anyone who fell into the life stream normally died… but. She slowly opened her eyes. She was by an ocean. She slowly raised herself from the sand and stared down in the water. "This is me" the only change was on her arms. She felt relieved.
Happy? a voice said inside of her. "Where are you?"
Inside of you.
"Where?!" she yelled. She started looking confused around. "Where are you?!"
Little stupid girl. I'm inside of your mind. Do you wish to see me? the voice sounded like a woman. But Tifa didn't know. Why did she hear another voice inside of her? "Leave me alone!"
Oh no no no little girl. You can't escape me. I'm a part of you now.
She shook her head. "Leave me alone! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" she yelled. She fell to her knees. Tears burned in her eyes. She couldn't… What was that creature inside of her. Why had this happened? "Leave me alone" she said. She hoped deeply the voice listened. Nothing. She smiled weakly. Maybe it just had been her imagination. Maybe it was nothing. She shook her head and started walking. She didn't know where she was going. She didn't even know where she was. But she kept walking. Her foot-steps echoed through the bare land. She felt confused and afraid.
Little poor baby girl the voice suddenly said.
She shook her head and tried ignoring it. She didn't want it inside of her mind. She didn't want it to torture her soul. She trembled as she realized how afraid she actually was.
Poor little girl.
She shook her head again. She tried clearing her thoughts. She didn't want to listen to the voice. She couldn't. She was afraid that she was crazy… insane. The life stream had affected her thoughts. She didn't want to think of it.
You're afraid and confused little girl
She ignored it. She couldn't. She didn't want to remember it. "Shut up" she mumbled. She seemed to have been walking for hours. She just kept walking without resting. Finally she reached a little village. The farmers all stared at her confused. It was late and they probably wasn't expected to be having any guests that late. She fast found an "inn".
The woman behind the desk gave her a motherly glare. "Oooh poor thing. What are you doing out so late? Do you need a place to stay?"
Tifa nodded. The generosity and warmth of the woman was almost enough to make her cry. "Yes thank you" she mumbled.
"Are you okay dear?" the woman asked.
"Yes I'm fine" Tifa answered.
Are you fine little girl? Tifa shook her head. She tried clearing her head and thoughts.
"okay dear. I hope you will sleep well" the woman said and gave Tifa a key.
Tifa took the key. "Thank you" she said and bowed her head. She slowly walked down the stairs and found an empty room. She felt like she had walked for years. She didn't look in the mirror. She just laid down in the bed and fell asleep.
Her dreams were haunted by a horrible creature. A demon. She saw the demon clearly. The demon woman was wearing strange clothes. The demon carried wings and a tail. The black dark eyes staring at Tifa in her dreams scared her.
Her thoughts kept circling around the demon and finally. In a dream. In a dark place with only one candlelight she saw it. She saw the demon. "What are you?" she asked.
The demon woman stared at her. "I'm you"
"you can't be me! You're a demon" Tifa yelled. She shook her head almost insanely. "You're a demon… Leave my thoughts and dreams!"
"Poor little girl. Can't you see it. You can't escape me," the demon jumped back in the darkness. "You can call me Proserpine" the demon said.
"What are you?" Tifa asked.
"I'm a demon" the demon answered. "A demon of shadows and darkness,"
Tifa shook her head. "But why are you inside of me?"
"Little girl. By falling into the life stream you changed. You received me"
"But I don't want you" Tifa said. She shook her head. "Please leave my thoughts! LEAVE ME ALONE!" she yelled.
"Poor little baby girl. I can't. You can't escape me." the demon answered. "I obey no one not you"
"Please… leave me alone" Tifa begged. She wanted the demon to leave. She fell to her knees. "Please"
"Poor little girl. Do you think I can? Stupid girl. I am linked with you! You and I share the same heart and mind! We share the same body!" the demon yelled.
Tifa opened her eyes. She felt the dream deep inside of her body. She knew one thing for sure… the dream hadn't been a dream. It was real. The demon inside of her.
The curse she felt deep inside of her soul.
It was already morning. She saw the sunshine through the window. She slowly left the room and once again met the woman behind the desk. "Thank you for letting me sleep"
"Of course dear. Did you have a nightmare?" the woman asked. "You kept screaming Leave me alone"
"Oh yes I did. I… had a bad dream" Tifa lied. She knew it was much more than just a regular dream.
"Ohh. Good it's over. Remember dear. It was only a dream" the woman said.
Tifa nodded even though she knew… the dream of the demon… was true. The demon was true.
