Final Fantasy VII - Immortality
-Chapter 2-
Cloud fell into a deep sleep.
-*~Dream Sequence Begin~*-
Cloud's mind turned into a tornado of color. Reds, greens, blues, everything! When he came back to his senses, nothing seemed quite right. Visions of Nibelheim, his hometown, crowded his mind. People burning like paper in a fireplace; his house, one among others burning down; and he could do nothing. He remembered Tifa, who is miraculously at his side, screaming for help. Cloud was frozen to the ground, stuck like a broken down car. He was like a doll, and the master didn't play with him anymore. A child's toy - lost in the ruins of defeat. Frozen. defeated.
Cloud screamed loudly as even more visions crowded his mind. The aching from the flames disappeared, and he was in the atmosphere of war. Shinra vs. Avalanche - a classic battle. This was when Aeris was kidnapped. Cloud remembered Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie. He remembered their last words on the Sector 7 pillar.
Biggs - "...don't worry 'bout me.... Barret's... fighting up there. Go help him...."
Jessie - "Because of our actions... many....... people died...... this probably.... is our punishment....."
Wedge - ".......Cloud...... You remembered..... my name." "Barret's up top. ...help him......." "An' Cloud.... Sorry, I wasn't any help."
-*~Dream Sequence End~*-
Cloud sprang up out of bed, panting heavily. Perspiration ran down his face, and tears ran from his eyes. Putting on his belt and other meaningless battle attire, Cloud rushed out the door. He ran up the hallway and slammed open Tifa's door, checking to be sure she was all right. He jumped onto her bed beside her and held her in his arms, sobbing against her soft skin.
Mumbling while she awakened, she said, "Cloud... What's wrong with you?".
Cloud stopped sobbing for a moment and said, "You...You were burning in Nibelheim again."
Tifa sighed, and closed her eyes again, feeling relaxed that Cloud was there with her. She felt him kiss her neck softly, and then kiss her just behind her ear. She put a smile on her face and fell asleep, as did Cloud in the next few moments. Tifa had always wanted someone who appreciated her for who she was, not what she had. She hoped Cloud was that one. They both needed their rest, because that very morning something very shocking was to come.
