Chapter 2:
Mind Games
Sazula woke up, in the early hours of the morning. She streched and yawned. Light, good. Now, I can see everything, clearly. Sazula smiled as she stood up. "There should be a town up ahead. I'll go there and get breakfast." Sazula made her way out of the forest and she saw a small town, just as she thought. "Good. Atleast Cloud, gave me good directions." She laughed and walked down the hill and in about five minutes was standing at the entrance of the town. She stopped an old man, half way through the town. "Excuse, me sir, but where is the inn?"
"Just two more buildings down, dear."
"Thank you, sir." Sazula smiled and continued down the street. Usually the Inn's had the best food. She hummed a tune as she walked. Some one walked by her. Sazula turned to smile at the person, in a friendly way. Blue eyes stared back at her, long white hair blew in the breeze. Sazula screamed and fell backwards on her butt. "...y-you're d-dead!!" She screamed and pointed.
"Child, child! Are you all right?! Who's dead?!" It was the old man, he was shaking her. Sazula blinked. A wrinkly face was infront of her. "Child, are you all right? What were you screaming about?" Sazula shook her head.
"I thought, I saw something..."
"Oh, here, let me help you." Even though old, he had great strength. He pulled Sazula up by one hand. She placed her hand on her head.
"Sephiroth...you're dead. I have nothing to worry about..." She whispered as the old man, escorted her to the Inn. "Thank you, sir. I think I'll be fine, here on out."
"No problem, dear." He smiled and walked out, leaving her standing at the counter.
"Hello! How may I help you, ma'am?" The woman asked, smiling brightly.
"A room, please."
"All right. 100 Gil, please." Sazula handed the woman the money and walked up stairs.
The door squeeked open. It wasn't all that bad. A bed, a bathroom and a small couch. Just enough. Sazula sat down on the bed. "...man, now I'm seeing Sephiroth. What's wrong with me? He's dead. Atleast I think..no, he's dead. Dead as dead can be!" Sazula assured herself.
"You think so? Am I really dead?" She looked up and Sephiroth stood there.
"AHH! G-get AWAY!"
"Ma'am, I'm here to ask you what kind of food you would like..."
"I'm sorry. I'm just going through a lot, at the moment."
"Completely understandable." The maid smiled. "Now, what would you like?"
"I don't care as long as it's not fish."
"All right then. I'll be back with it, in about twenty minutes, all right?"
"Yes, thanks." The maid walked out, closing the door.
"You sure are scared of me, aren't you?" Her eyes shifted upward and Sephiroth was sitting in mid air, smiling.
"This is just my mind playing tricks on me, since I'm scared..." She whispered.
"And if it's not...?" He disappeared.
"This is all just in my head! You're dead! Stop coming to me!!" She screamed holding her head. Sazula flopped back on the bed. "You ARE dead, Sephiroth. I just can't stop thinking about you, for some reason!!"
"I wonder why that is..." She opened her eyes and he was floating right above her, looking into her eyes.
"AHH!" She smacked him...her hand went right through and he disappeared. "I knew, it was just my mind messing with me." She laughed. She heard a knock on the door. "Oh, come in." It opened and the maid stood there with a plate with a piece of chicken on it, and a glass in her hand.
"Here you are, ma'am."
"Thanks again." Sazula handed her 50 Gil as a tip.
"Thank you, ma'am." She left the room. Sazula ate her food, slowly, still looking around the room. Why am I, still worried..? I mean it's just my mind playing tricks on me! Sephiroth's dead. And that's all there is to it! Sazula thought, with a smile. She finished and set the plate down on the small wooden table that was next to her. Sazula layed back down and looked up at the ceiling. "What's wrong with me...? Why am I seeing and hearing him?..." Sazula asked herself. When he died...he looked so so...mad...and yet upset, as if he wanted to cry. I kind of feel sorry for him. Even though I don't know the whole story, behind Sephiroth...but, ...do I feel sorry for him? Nah, I couldn't. He was evil, he needed to die. Sazula nodded as she thought. "I didn't go to bed until late last night, so I guess I'll catch up on my sleep." Sazula whispered as she shut her eyes and fell asleep on the warm bed.
