Chapter 2
The light started to form, no-one could take their eyes away from it. It was beautiful, they had never seen anything like it. A small human shape appeared in the centre of the room. The light disappeared and Aeris was curled up on the floor, she looked lifeless. Cloud approached with caution and kneeled over her to examine her. The others were too amazed and shocked to move. "Aeris?" Cloud whispered. Tifa came and stood next to him, leaning over her. Aeris' limp and lifeless body started to gain colour, Cloud was relieved yet amazed. "Aeris? Is it really you? Can you hear me? It's me, Cloud!" he shouted with anxiety. The others continued to watch, some on guard since it could be a trap. "Yes Cloud, it's me" Aeris whispered quietly. Aeris was alive, Aeirs Gainsborough was alive! Cloud was overjoyed. Tifa fell over, trying hard to believe what she was seeing, it was unreal. "This is a miracle!" Cait Sith declared. No-one could believe what they were seeing, they all had watched her die, the was she was killed was horrific, but there she was, in the centre of the cockpit, alive. Aeris slowly sat up and looked at everyone, she smiled sweetly and tried to stand. She stumbled then noticed the carnage outside. "The meteor. I'm too late." she sighed. Cloud stood behind her and put her hand on her shoulder, Tifa could be seen pouting in the background. "There is nothing we can do, we defeated Sephiroth, that's all we can do. We may be powerful, but we are not miracle makers. Its up to the planet now.." Cloud said gloomily. Aeris frowned even more, she turned to Cloud with a stern look on her face.
"You did not defeat Sephiroth..." She stammered as she looked Cloud in the eyes, "I'm so sorry.." She hugged him as her eyes filled with tears. The tension in the room had just gone up a notch, you could cut it with a knife it was that thick. No-one knew what to do..
