Cloud stood on the deck of the Highwind. His face was clouded with worry. He wouldn't eat or sleep. All he would do was watch and worry about Aeris.
"Can't this thing go any faster???" Cloud barked to Cid.
Cid just shook his head sadly.
At the rate they were going at they wouldn't reach the City of the Ancients for another day.
Cloud looked up to the stars…
The stars twinkled back as the Highwind continued towards the Horizon.
************************************************************************
Aeris was getting tired. An aura of pale green light surrounded her and was leaving her body and going into Sephiroth. She was getting weaker…more tired…
She drifted in and out of fevered dreams. Dreams of the tragedies in her life…
She was suffering…
She was so tired. Her eyes were drooping. Beads of sweat fell from her head.
She looked up to see Sephiroth laughing insanely.
She sighed…
She wasn't going to last much longer.
***********************************************************************
Cloud was sleeping on the Highwind deck. In his hand he held a single flower. He was dreaming about her….
"Would you like a flower sir? They're only one gil".
"Yes I will have one…"
A giggle then… "Thank you…"
*Flashes to the Church in Midgar.
"Once or twice.."
"Then get me out of here…take me home…"
"Alright…but it's
going to cost you…"
"How about I go out with you once?"
Flashback to Gold Saucer…
*Premonition…
She was tied to the wall of a crystalline place and she was suffering.
She'll die and you can't save her…said a figure.
Cloud looked into the owner of the voice.
SEPHIROTH!!!!!!
Sephiroth laughed and stabbed Aeris through the heart!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Cloud woke up with a start!
"AERIS!!!!" screamed Cloud.
