I looked up from where I was praying and smiled when I saw Cloud, Tifa and Red XIII standing across from me. They had come for me! That meant that Cloud really did care about me and it all wasn't a dream.
Then Cloud's eyes became fearful and full of hate. He drew his sword and leaped at me, but I just looked at him with love in my eyes and he dropped his blade. "Cloud." I said softly.
"Aeris," Cloud replied. But then fear, true fear filled his eyes. I titled my head but suddenly I felt a long, cold sword go through my stomach.
My eyes went wide with pain, fear and understanding. It had to be this way. There was no other way for things to happen, I had to die. I turned around and looked Sepiroth right in his cold and triumphant eyes. "Thank you," I said simply.
Then I felt my hair come undone and the materia my mother had left me, the Holy materia, bounced down into the crystal lake. I fell forward into Cloud's open eyes. I saw tears flowing from his eyes and I felt them flowing down my cheeks. He tried to cover my wound but the blood doused his hands.
"I'm sorry Cloud," I whispered. I turned my head to look at Tifa and Red XIII. "I'm sorry to you too. Live well and win! I love you all." Then I coughed and blood wetted my face.
I was drifting down a light tunnel but I didn't want to go. So I forced myself to stay, I drifted just above my body. I was cold, so cold and yet I felt nothing. I watched as Tifa wept beside my body and Red XIII howled his sorrow. Cloud was slumped over, his muscles unable to overcome his grief.
Then he lifted me up and took my to the crystal lake. He let my body float out into the middle as he wept. I heard him say, "Aeris, you're half my heart. I love you." Then my body floated down and I was drawn back into that tunnel of light that I did not want to be in.
"Good-bye my friends!" I cried as I was drawn away. "Good-bye!"
Have mercy, it's not over yet!
