Chapter 19: Death letter

I was then shocked to see Vivi and Zidane! My sword was pointing at Vivi's face! " Oh my gosh Vivi! I am so sorry!" I yelled dropping my sword.

" Heather!" Vivi and Zidane both yelled. Vivi was joyous but Zidane seemed more disappointed. " I am so glad I caught up with you!" I said. Dagger came along and was also shocked by my appearance. " You guys aren't happy to see me?" I asked. " No it is not that!" Dagger said. " Well, I guess I came all this way just to see you and all I get is 'what are you doing here'!" I said turning my back to everyone. " No it is not that it is just- Good, I just wanted to know if I should just pack my bags and leave for Alexandria!" I said. " No we are glad you're here." Vivi said. It was getting darker as the more time I spent talking about my trip here got longer. I stretched and said, " I am tired, let us get some rest." "I am not that tired, I think I'll talk to Mr. 288." Vivi said walking away. " Poor Vivi." I thought to myself as I followed him. Dagger and Zidane went into the hotel hut thing. They stayed up pretty late but soon dozed off. I guess I wasn't as tired as I thought so I decided to climb up to the top of the roof. I sang a song I heard my mother sing when I was born. I didn't know her name but I knew she had died when I was 6 years old. I never remember my father it seems like he never existed. I never speak of my parents but I know they will remain in my heart forever and always. My mother was certainly the most beautiful person ever with the most beautiful voice. Her name was Aurora. (The song I was singing was ' The prayer') I all the sudden stopped singing to hear a 'rustle' noise. " Who are you? Vivi? Zidane?" I stood up and saw four shadowy figures approaching. I heard voices talking, echoing in the moonlight. I jumped off the hut I was standing on and drew out my sword. " Show yourselves you cowards!" I yelled. " Heather?" One asked. " H-how do you know my name?" I asked as the four figures came closer to me. One was holding a lantern and shined it in my face. " It is you Heather!" One said. I looked into the faces of the figures and I saw Blank, Steiner, Freya and Beatrix! " I thought I would never see you guys again!" I yelled. " We just made it out but we were able to ask the regent where you guys were headed." Blank said. " You guys must be tired. Lets head into the inn, one of you guys can have my bed." I said leading them to the inn. I walked into the inn quietly, not to disturb Zidane and Dagger. I walked to my bed that had something on it. I shined the lantern that I had borrowed onto the bed. There was a piece of paper on it with a gleaming dagger stabbed in the middle. I picked up the dagger and examined it; it was solid gold at the handle, silver for the point and emeralds gleaming also where the handle was. But once I shined it to the blade I saw blood dripping from it! I looked at the hand I was holding the dagger with and it too was covered it blood. I screamed out as I dropped the dagger. I heard it clang when it hit the ground. I was a little freaked out by this and cautiously grabbed the letter.

Your blood will be drawn by the power of your own sword. You will die a most deserving death. The Iifa tree will hold all the secrets to your fate.

The sword cut off the rest. I was now really scared and decided to wake up Zidane and Dagger. " You guys! Wake up! Please this is important!" I said desperately. Each were still asleep and seemed to not hear my voice. I decided to go tell the others. Vivi was talking with our friends who had just made it back from their journey. I ran over and interrupted Vivi as he was talking. " Sorry Vivi, this is really important! Okay I saw this letter and this dagger on the bed, the dagger was covered in blood!" I had read them the letter word for word not missing any details. " The Iifa tree?" Freya asked. " I don't know about this Iifa tree but it says it holds all the secrets, this sounds crazy but I actually want to go to the Iifa tree! I want to find this person who wants to kill me!" " Heather! Why are you going to do this?! If you do you could get killed!" Blank asked. " Look I have to know what is going on here! I feel that this could link us to why these dolls are being created and what Kuja is up to!" " I want you to be alive! I want you to be around to help us when we need help! Like you did on the airship!" Vivi said. " Vivi.I know this may sound odd to you and to everyone, but I want to do what is best for others.even if it costs me my own life."
