This is meant to be like a prologue to my story Flight of Sorrow. I just thought of it the other day, and I'm gong to post it separately from the story. It can be read by itself or with the story (I would love it if you did that if you haven't already. LOL) Anyway, there is implied Shonen-Ai, but nothing happens. Please no flames. I don't tolerate them. If anything about shonen-ai bothers you, don't read this. But for the rest of you, enjoy.
Just another bit for you who haven't read Flight of Sorrow and don't plan on it (which you should. ^_~). Flight of Sorrow starts of with Cid alone in Traverse Town. It's AU, and he misses Vincent horribly. The story starts off with him wishing Vincent was there and then it progresses from there. So this is what happens the night before the story starts. I would really love it if you read Flight of Sorrow. Pwease?? ^_^ Remember, NO FLAMES! Sorry, on to the story
Song: Taking Over Me by Evanescence (I know, I'm sorry to all my readers that don't like them, but I promise this fic is good!) And once again, it really sounds best when you read it when listening to the song, but you don NOT have to. ^_^
Disclaimer: I do NOT own anything here except my muse Faylinn and the ideas that pop out of her tiny fairy brain. ^_^ (but she's not in the story.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cid sat along in the corner of the tavern in Traverse Town square. He swirled the glass of scotch before downing it. He stared at the candle on the table.
You don't remember me but I remember you
"You probably don't remember me anymore, but I sure as hell will never forget you."
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
He lies in his bed, staring at the ceiling, a few tears leaking from his blue eyes.
But who can decide what they dream
And dream I do
An ebony haired angel with crimson eyes beckons Cid to follow him.
I believe in you
"I know you aren't dead."
I'll give up everything just to find you
"I will find you someday, no matter what it takes."
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me
Cid chokes back the tears, feeling like his heart is shredded. He leaves the money on the table and starts walking home.
Have you forgotten all I know
And all we had
He walks towards a dark alley, pressing his forehead against the cool bricks.
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
He turns and leans against the brick, images of his love flashing through his head.
I knew you loved me then
"I knew you loved me then."
I believe in you
"So why did you leave?"
I'll give up everything just to find you
He starts walking slowly back to his house, head down, hands in his pockets.
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me
He enters his small home, walking straight to the bathroom.
I look in the mirror and see your face
Cid stares at his reflection and his vision clouds.
If I look deep enough
A taller figure stands behind him in the corner, face partially covered.
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over
He spins to find it a figment of his imagination
I believe in you
"I believe in you."
I'll give up everything just to find you.
"I'll give up everything just to find you."
I have to be with you
"I have to be with you,"
To live, to breathe
"To live, to breathe,"
You're taking over me
"You're taking over me!"
I believe in you
He slams his fist into the mirror, shattering it.
I'll give up everything just to find you
He hand drops into the sink with the glass shards, crimson staining white porcelain.
I have to be with you
He lowers his head, watching the blood run.
To live, to breathe
Slowly he sinks onto his knees, holding his injured hand, sobbing.
You're taking over me
