Cloud trudged through
the swamp. The deep murky swamp across from the Chocobo farm, he didn't care at
that moment what attacked him, or if he dropped dead at that moment and never
got up again. The Midgar Zolom was aware that Cloud was in his swamp. It's
slithering brown body dove into the clouded depths of the water and propelled
itself towards the spikey headed traveler. Cloud was so lost in thought that he
was almost unaware of the putrid abomination that was almost on his tail.
~Why did
you leave? I can't keep this up without you~
Cloud didn't give
it a second thought, he raised his sword just as it was about to swallow him
whole….and promptly decapitated the mutant snake.
Cloud's blue eyes watched as the now lifeless body of the
Zolom sank to the depths of it's "home". Cloud envied the snake, for now it was
dead and could feel no more pain….if that stupid creature could process what
pain was……he thought.
~It
hurts to much, I don't think I'll ever be the same~
He continued
until he reached the base of the crystallized cave. He sighed and sat down on a
rock that happened to be placed there he thought about all that he had been
through all what would eventually have to face in the future. He squeezed his
eyes shut desperately trying not to cry again. He had let his tears fall to
many time already. He sucked in his breath sharply and began to think about
what he had. What he used to be, and what he had become.
~It
would have been better if I could have said goodbye~
Tifa…he had married
her about two years ago..but..he still thought about Aeris constantly. Whenever
he would talk about her…tears would still form in his eyes. He had married Tifa
so that maybe the constant ache in his chest would go away. But, so far no such
luck, no matter what he did or tried, he still loved Aeris Gainsborough. The
thing that scared Cloud the most though, was that he didn't see himself getting
over her any time soon. He was depressed almost all the time, and he didn't
want to burden Tifa right now…especially now. Tifa was pregnant. It, to be
perfectly honest, was a complete accident. This was all he needed. He could see
his son or daughter growing up with a wonderful mother and "her loser of a
father". He made a deep sighing sound and got up off of the rock and continued
to walk, he drug his feet back through the swamp and walked back to the chocobo
he had ridden out here.
~Here I am,
please come and take me~
He continued on
until he was right next to Midgar, he stopped and looked at the once prosperous
city…prosperous yes.. a hell hole, also yes…Cloud still remembered when
Meteor came and destroyed Midgar first. Cloud couldn't say he was too sad to
see Midgar go…that was when he remembered Aeris though, without her they
wouldn't have been able to save anything….after that thought though, Cloud
couldn't hold it any longer, and cried for, what seemed like, the billionth
time since Aeris had passed away.
Cloud,
please don't cry anymore.. you're breaking my heart, and here I thought you
loved me. You're the one that kept pressing on, you're the one who defeated
Sephiroth, not me, why do you do this to yourself? You are better than
that..all you have to do is believe…
