Cid's Diary II: Hilda's Sister
***********************
Zidane opened his eyes. It was still very dark. He stood up and looked at the clock. It was four in the morning. He lighted a candle in the middle of the table and started looking for the diary. He found it under his pillow and opened it. He turned it to the last page and started reading.
March 9
Today is supposed to be the day before my wedding. It's supposed to be a very happy day. Everything was going along just fine until Hilda's sister, Matilda, tried to kill Hilda, her parents and my parents. It was about noon, we were to have lunch in the garden. Everyone was there but Matilda. The food was already served. She came about five minutes after we started eating. Both her hands were behind her back. It seems like she was hiding something. She went near the table and smiled. When Hilda asked her to join us, she took out her staff and cast a spell. Hilda's dress was burning. Matilda was laughing until her parents stood up and scolded her. She took out a knife from her pocket and tried to stab her father. My father grabbed her arm but the knife stabbed him. His leg was bleeding. Mother shouted to the guards and asked for help. Matilda set the clothes of the guards on fire. I had to do something! I took out my sword and ran towards her. But before I even reached her, she started to cast thunder on both my mother and hers. For some reason, the spell backfired and she started screaming. That's when I learned that Hilda had cast reflect on her mother and mine. I tried to get near her, but she disappeared. Everyone thought she was dead. Including her parents. Including Hilda. We made a funeral for her. Our wedding was postponed. I wonder what happened to her.
Cid
"That must be one of the saddest moments of Cid and Hilda," Zidane said. He decided not to read anymore and kept the book in his drawer. He went out to look around afterwards.
Meanwhile…
Eiko sat at her bed. She was tired and wanted to go to sleep but she couldn't. Every time she falls asleep, she kept hearing the same voice in her dreams. "Why can't you stop bothering me?" she said.
"Because I don't want to. I'm not happy. And if I'm not, then you must not be happy too."
"Then why aren't you happy? What do you want anyway?" asked Eiko.
"I'm not telling you the reason, but I'll tell you what I want. I want revenge."
"For what? What's your story and why me?"
"My story? You want to hear my story? Very well. This is my story…"
Author's Note: Hey! There's a clue here. It's a clue about who the evil spirit is. I'm not saying anything; you have to find out yourselves. I still have no idea which FF song you like best. I only have three answers you know. Anyway, this chapter is more on who the villain is. What kind of wedding do you like? I mean the religion. Catholic? Muslim? I think I should make one up, what do you think? Anyway, keep sending your favorite choice on my last survey. Which song is it? Eyes on Me? Melodies of Life? Suteki da ne?
Is it true that Eminem has his own Suteki da ne version? I saw it in one of the web sites, which provides lyrics for your favorite songs. Kuja will have his own role in this fanfic. He will become a good guy. But I might change my mind.
Thank you readers. Thanks. ^_^
TY so much to those who sent their reviews. I know it's a bit irritating when I keep on saying thanks each chapter, but it's my way of showing gratitude.
