Rina: Thanks to Tabitha Wynd and my dear friend Blythe for editing this for me again. And the reviews. Thanks guys, I love you all! 333
Alright, all love aside... Or whatever I have left of that emotion, here's the second chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of Symphonia.
Lloyd's faith was unwavering. How he wished he could be with Sheena when she started screaming! How he prayed that her dreams would end soon, and she would curl up against him. When she did that, he felt like she wasn't really in a dream world where even his most valiant efforts couldn't reach her, that she wasn't in an endless sleep, reliving the same nightmare day after day. That she actually belong to him, and not to Zelos' memory.
A guy could dream, couldn't he? Which was what was about to happen... The man fell asleep, and his dream world took on the shape of a mountainous area. On the highest peak, was Lloyd's old companion.
"Zelos!" The man exclaimed happily rushing forward to embrace the long lost friend. "Where have you been?"
But he wouldn't be permitted to embrace the other, for Zelos would push him away and draw his weapon.
"Wh…what's going on?" Lloyd asked, confused.
"Hah. Like you don't know." The chosen of Tethe'alla spat out. He withdrew his weapon, and charged forward. Without hesitation, Lloyd withdrew the twin swords that were loyally attached to his belt.
"I don't want to fight you, Zelos!" The man declared as he blocked a wild swing from Zelos. "Don't make me…"
Zelos sneered, and stopped the wild swinging. "Don't make you what? Finish off the job? Sheena can't kill me, so why don't you?"
The man laughed wickedly, and swung once more. "C'mon bud. Let the girl have some rest. Kill me!" He roared.
Lloyd shook his head, fear making his breath ragged, his movements sluggish... He wouldn't be able to kill Zelos, even if it was just a nightmare. Looking around, the swordsman gulped down panic. It looked like killing him would be the only way to get away from this…unless…
In a one precise movement, the swordsman jumped off the cliff, jolting himself awake. Panicked he looked wildly around the room. Glancing over at the inanimate ninja, he let out a sigh of relief. Damn, Sheena went through a lot. But the girl was fine… for now.
