I walk down the aisle. Carefully, slowly. I feel like, I can't do this.. But I want to bring happiness to my people, and this seems like the only way for now. My pilgrimage will continue. .I can't run. The guards are following closely.. I walk up the steps. The steps that bring the next couple hours.. days.. months.. even maybe years, of my life. And Tidus…

Why can't I admit I love him? Being a summoner has brought me great joy, but I fear if I soon do not let it out, mayhem can happen..

No. I'll try not to think about that. The steps are getting narrower.. my breaths shorter. Seymour stands next to me, tall and proud, like it's the happiest day of his life. I feel like I'm going to throw up.. I really can't do this…My friends have come to save me! Alas, this won't happen, everything will be fine again, I can be with Tidus.. No. Seymour pulls me up the steps, and , practically tripping over myself, I'm forced to follow. We get to the top..The Maester starts reading from his sacred text, combining us as husband and wife.. I feel like I'm going to throw up again.

The fatal kiss. His touch is cold… his eyes are cold. Everything on him is cold. As I feel a rush of hate towards him, I remember how many hundreds and thousands of people I'm making happy. I forget everything, and he forces me towards him. I must look like a frightened lamb by the way he's looking at me, and he's the slaughterer.

The kiss. The kiss was forced on me, and his cold lips and hands will not let me go. I'm entangled in a rush of emotion, without knowing what to do.. Tidus. Tidus and the others came to save me whilst all this was happening, and I was pulled away from them.. LuLu, Rikku, Auron, Wakka. My dear Tidus…

My fists clenched. Why am I doing this? My people are happy, I'm just too blind to see! They know I'm trying to save them, trying to help..

And this kiss won't end.. Tidus, I feel your anger, I feel your pain, Tidus…

Finally,he pulls away… I can breath again. I am warm again..

What do I do? Tidus is right there, along with the others. I don't want to be married to this cold,heartless slaughterer! I have to run, I have to be free, I have to get away.. What do I do..

Before I know what I'm doing, I am standing in a frame. I hear Tidus call my name, but all I can think is 'Trust me' and I fall back. I keep falling,and I pray. I pray for Valefor ..my flying Aeon. I pray she'll come and save me, take me away from here..

I keep falling. I know she's coming. I can feel it.

A light in the sky.. I see her coming, I feel her..

I'm becoming weak.. Lightheadedness starts taking over..

All of a sudden, the falling stops. I look below me, and my Aeon saved my life. She looks up at my like a dog who just saw it's owner come home. I can't help but think in my mind, thank you. And I think she understands.

I look up, and I see the slowly fading away figures of Seymour and his men. I will hopefully never see them again, as I fade, fade away, farther, farther…
