Nero's lullaby! It'll make sense later, but the song is 'Vanilla twilight' by Owl City!
Disclaimers: I do not own FFVII, or any of the characters, or 'Vanilla Twilight' ,but I wish I did.
However, I do own Ivy, so please do not steal her, she is my original character!
oOoOo
Name: Ivy
Age: about 17
Hair color/style: Raven black; It is very long and wavy, usually pulled back into a braid, and in the front, on the right side it sticks up like Lucrecia's.
Eye color: Violet
Other: She was created by Hojo when a simple experiment to retrieve a bit of the Lifestream that had somehow become trapped inside a girl's memories went awry during a power surge, causing the lifestream to be released, creating Ivy. Because she was created by memories, she never ages. She has the ability to steal people's memories, as well as use those stolen people's memories to fight, and can show other's her memories, like they were watching a movie.

Teardrop Memories
Darkness' Lullaby

Yuffie looked at me strangely. "Okay, I've been thinking 'bout what you've been telling us, and I have realized something. Almost everything- wait - everything you have been telling us has Nero in it. Explain."
I stared at her blankly.
"Seriously Ivy, Why? You guys dating or something'?"
"No Yuffie. I just…I did love him, I guess you could say. I…think I'm having trouble getting over the fact that they are all dead. Just listen alright?"
"Hpmh." Yuffie sat back and frowned. "We're listening."
I skipped merrily through the many passages in Deepground, trying to find Nero. I wanted to tell him something funny, but I had no idea where the Dark Tsviet was. So far I had checked everywhere, except his room, so that's where I was headed. After about 5 minutes of getting lost then finding my way back onto the route I was using.\, I had reached his room. The door was cracked slightly, and I looked in.
"Nero! You in…here…?" I almost giggled, but didn't. Nero was lying on his back, asleep, looking peaceful, and I had to admit, he looked adorable…innocent…
I walked over silently, kneeling down next to the bed so that my head was at an equal height as his. I stood back up, and looked down at him.
"Who knew a cold-hearted assassain could look so peaceful?" I looked at his wings, and a song I had recently heard popped into my head. I sat down again, and smiled. "Not the best lullaby, but I think you might like it…" I whispered.
"The stars lean down to kiss you,
And lye awake and I miss you.
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
I'll sleep safe and soundly,
But I'll miss your arms around me.
I'd send a postcard to you dear,
'cause I wish you were here." the words flowed smoothly from my lips.
"I'll watch the night turn light blue,
But It's not the same with out you.
Because it takes two to whisper quietly.
The silence isn't so bad,
Until I look at my hands and feel sad,
Cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.
I'll find repose in new ways,
Yet I haven't slept in two days,
Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone." I sang sweetly, now running my fingers through Nero's hair, resting my head next to his.
"But drenched in Vanilla Twilight,
Ill sit on the front porch tonight,
Cause when I think f you I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
As many times as I blink, I'll think of you,
Tonight." I sang, smiling inwardly to myself at how true most of this song was for me.
"I'll think of you tonight.
When violet eyes get brighter,
And heavy wings grow lighter,
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
But I swear I won't forget you,
Oh, if my voice could reach back through the past,
I'd whisper in your ear,
Oh Darling, I wish you were here." I felt a tear coming to my eye, even though I didn't know why at the time. I don't think I ever found out either.
With that, I stood up swiftly. "Good night." I whispered, turning and walking away, what I had meant to tell him all but forgotten, but something kept nagging me that it might have just been important.
Yuffie was looking at me worriedly, and I didn't know why until a few seconds later.
I had started crying when I recounted the memory.
I did wish he was here. Yuffie sat next to me and started saying something, but I didn't hear. I shook my head. I knew I would start crying at some point. I didn't plan on it being this memory.
"Nero…"
Yuffie looked at me empathetically. "Are you okay Ivy?"
"I-I'll…be fine…just remembered that day…that they died…I just stood and watched from the roof…I could've helped…but I just watched…"
Yuffie looked at me worriedly. "Get some sleep, kay?" I nodded, and stood up, then walked away, leaving Yuffie in the bar.
oOo
Okay, so that's chapter 4, but it's not over yet!
