Scars of Loneliness

Part 2

The continuation! Read on!

When Vincent awoke, he found that the cavern was almost completely filled with rocks. Vincent pushed aside the rocks and pulled Lucrecia out from under them. "Ugh…..Vin…..cent……" Vincent looked at her grimly. "Lucrecia……rest now…." he said, sitting down. He wiped his brow with a handkerchief.

"Vin……cent….why have you come?" Vincent looked down.

"Why?"

"I wish to know."

Vincent stared at his left arm, which was completely made of metal. "Why? You wish to know why?" Vincent asked, standing up. "I came….because I love you, Lucrecia! How that bastard Hojo fooled you, I will never know! But that beastly menace was just a silhouette!!!" Vincent pounded the wall of the cavern, and the bang echoed throughout it. Lucrecia looked weakly at Vincent.

"Vincent…" Lucrecia choked, but stopped. Vincent stared blankly at Lucrecia. She was bleeding all over and looked weak. "Ugh…..Vincent……I implore you….put me out of my misery…"

"Lucrecia…I'm sorry…..so sorry…" and Vincent began to cry. He began to sob. Vincent, the hard, solemn Turk, almost never showed emotion. "Lucrecia…" Vincent choked between tears. He pulled out the Death Penalty. "Please forgive me for what I am about to do…please…..forgive me…." A single tear dropped into the barrel of the Death Penalty. Vincent loaded the gun, and pointed it a Lucrecia.

"Lucrecia…I love you…but…you seem so miserable…goodbye…" Vincent moved his pointer finger ever so slightly against the trigger. Then, he pressed. Nothing happened. "What?" Vincent clicked again and again. "………huh?" Suddenly, another tear dropped into the barrel.

"Lucrecia…" Vincent said, looking at her. "My tears…they stopped the gun from going off…you…you weren't meant to die like this. Please, Lucrecia, come back with me. You can live a normal life, like you always wanted to!"

Lucrecia looked at Vincent. "I have been forever twisted…that cannot happen…"

Vincent then threw his arms around Lucrecia unexpectedly. "Please, Lucrecia…come back to me…" I'm always with you Vincent…always remember me… said a voice in Vincent's head. He looked at Lucrecia. She was laying motionless. "Lucrecia!!!!" Vincent yelled, shaking her. There was no movement. Lucrecia was dead. Vincent sat there a long time, pondering. Then he got up, dug his way out of the cave, and returned to Midgar, to rejoin his friends-his friends until the end.
