Fatal Choice

"Angie! Angie please wake up! Please just wake up!" I heard Christie's voice begging to me. I opened my heavy eyelids and found myself staring at Christie and Omen, behind them Omega stood tall. I felt as though I was dying. "Omen why the fuck aren't you doing anything!"

"I've tried all I can. My healing powers are linked to Lifeforce and I can't heal people when Omega has all of it can I?" Omen snapped with frustration. Wait... I was dying? Then... were was...

"Vincent... where is...?" I asked, feeling so much pain surge through me. Christie hushed me and comforted me, trying to use her heal Materia but failing.

"No it's gonna be fine. You're gonna live alright?" She was trying to convince herself of that...

"Christie where is Vincent?" I asked a bit more fluently. Christie looked to the side and nodded slowly. Beside me crouched Chaos but the eyes... the eyes were soft like Vincent's...

"I'm here. Angevale it's okay," He told me, his voice distorted a little. He may have been in Chaos' form but it was Vincent in control. "You won't die."

"Vincent... I faught Omega and I can remember a large blast of light hitting me at point blank range... I know I'm going to die," I tried to laugh but it was painful. Vincent took hold of my hand, clearly upset as was Christie and Omen. Christie's eyes conveyed so much pain but she didn't cry. I've never seen her cry. As for Omen he was about to cry waterfalls and Vincent... he just looked so pained.

"No you won't..." He tried to convince me but I squeezed his hand. I think part of me was dying of a broken heart as... this is my last chance to tell him.

"Vincent please... it's hard enough," I felt tears down my face again. It was so hard yet... it felt so easy to say. "Vincent... I've never met a man who's made me feel as happy as you've made me," He looked a little confused, making me laugh at how oblivious he was. "Vincent, I love you. I've loved you for years. I wanted you to love me back but... I knew I couldn't have that..."

"Angie I swear if you die..." Christie was getting angry, but it was a frustrated and upset anger.

"I hope you and Reno have a happy life together..." I said weakly, feeling myself be taken away by the Lifestream. "Omen... thank you... you've been a good friend... and I'm glad Oblivion chose you to look after us..."

"No Angie no!" He yelled, trying to heal me again.

"Angie don't talk like this is the end you're gonna be at my wedding don't die!" Christie called out, knowing I was slipping.

"Angevale please..." Was all Vincent said before I closed my eyes again, feeling myself die and the Lifestream, like a river, took me away...

Christie's POV

"Angie!" I yelled as her body faded into the Lifestream, heading straight into Omega. Omen sat on the ground and shook out of shock. Vincent turned his back to us. I narrowed my eyes and stormed up to him, turning him around and punching him in the face. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that!" I was so angry I just wanted to hit something.

"I didn't know she loved me..." He said quietly.

"The kiss on the Shera didn't give it away?" Omen asked as he got up. "Seriously are you an idiot? Angie loves you and you're still hung up on a dead woman."

"I don't care about that!" I yelled, narrowing my eyes at Vincent. "This is your fault. My best friend is dead because of you!"

"Christie..."

"Shut up!" I yelled. Omen grabbed my arms but I pulled away, growling with such rage. "Bring. Her. Back..." I ordered with a snarl. "That is my best friend and she deserves more than what shit she's been dealt to her. Bring her back now or I swear I'll Omega will be the least of your problems." Vincent seemed to have an anger grow in his eyes, as though the events were sinking. With a loud roar he leapt up and soared towards Omega.

"It's gonna be okay Chris..." Omen said behind me. I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth. If he didn't bring Angie back... my friend deserved more than this.

"It better be..." I replied with a growl before turning and walking away. I didn't care what Vincent did he better bring Angie back unharmed.
