"It's okay, don't be afraid."
"Where am I who are you?"
"I'm here to help you Kairi."
"I feel so weak, why am I so tired? Where are we? How do you know me?" The fog was heavy covering the face that addressed her. She sounded young and familiar.
"You're on a bridge I've come to guide you back to you're world. You feel weak because you are imcomplete you've lost you're heart the part of you that makes you function, that helps you feel and think. But yours it's lost forever you just need to find the person who can complete it. No you are unus quisnam mos regius, one who will regain."
"Okay but who can complete me heart how did I lost it?"
"The person who makes you strong the person who always had you're heart." She blushed thinking about the person who always held her heart.
"I can't go back without my heart I wouldn't-"
"You still remember what it's like to have a heart the feeling hasn't gone you remember what it's like to feel to love to hate to be sad to get angry as long as you don't forget you'll be like them. If you remember what it's like to be whole you're heart once you find it will rejoin your body."
"What if...I do forget what'll happen then?"
"You'll be a admiratio you'll wonder the world endlessly searching for a memory you've forgotten soon darkness will engulf your body taken over eating you up inside until you become darkness. You can't forget Kairi you're heart was too strong find him and you'll be whole." Terra started walking back to the door at the other side of the bridge.
"Okay Riku where are you?"
"I thought Sora had her heart."
"He does." Terra responded looking at the boy standing in front of the door.
"But she's looking for Riku."
"I know she doesn't remember fully, when she's sees Riku she'll know he's changed she'll remember who carries her heart, she won't become an admiratio.
"Why haven't you told him yet?" Benny entered the room.
"Told him about what?" Aerith asked.
"The baby." She looked down at the table. "You sense something's not right I'm guessing with Cloud?"
"I don't know...maybe he just seems...weird about something."
"Keepin something from ya?"
"Maybe...I..." She paused looking at him then looked back down at the table. "It's been a month since Terra...since she was killed. I feel guilty about having another baby...maybe I should...I don't know."
"Aerith?" Cloud called from the hall way he started walking into the kitchen.
"I don't know about you lot but this is way past my bedtime I'll be off snoozing." He looked at Cloud and Aerith and then left.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Her eyes were still on the table.
"Aerith what's bothering you?"
"Nothing Cloud I'm okay." She gave him a half hearted smile.
"So you're not going to talk to me about this."
"Talk to you about what? I told you I'm fine."
"I think you're lying to me."
"I think you're paranoid."
"Aerith."
"What Cloud?" He got up leaving the kitchen.
"I'm going to bed." He left the room then came back again. "What is it? Do you miss Zack and Infalna?"
"No nothings wrong!" Why couldn't he let this go?
"Is it Sora or Roxas or Terra?"
"No Cloud."
"Is it me did I do something?" She was silent for a minute. "It's me isn't it?"
"I've already told you."
"We can't keep stuff from each other in this marriage Aerith."
"No we can't can we Cloud?" She stood up and left the room. Cloud waited then got up and went after her, seeing Benny in the doorway startled him.
"You shouldn't keep anything from her she can sense it."
"I didn't even know what was happening I kissed her that's all it didn't mean anything. I just don't want tell her because I can't hurt her. She wont understand she'll think it's because I have feelings for Tifa but I don't. It wasn't even me I let darkness control me."
"She understands and will understand more than you think she will."
She knew better than anyone what pain Aerith was going through she'd gone through it. She had lost a child she felt that heart ache. Luc had been taken from her three months ago, his heart like Terra stolen. She never talked to Vincent about him she kept her feelings locked away. She knew Vincent was hurting too but he never showed her.
"Tifa we should talk about Luc."
"Nothing to talk about."
"He was our son and he's gone I'd say there's a lot to talk about."
"That's just it Vincent he's gone nothing left to say."
"I'm here for you if you change your mine."
"I wont."
"You're not the only one who cared about him."
"Really because it felt like it."
"Of course I cared about him I care about you too." She laughed.
"You named our baby Luc...Luceria, not that I wanted you to love me but Vincent he needed you he loved you."
"I didn't know how to be father Tifa."
"Well you should've tried he would of liked that he could have understood...but now it's too late." She looked at him. "You can't show him you love him Vincent." He looked back at her feeling her pain seeing it in her eyes.
