Just around the corner

Yunas POV

I was in Macalania woods. Everything was the way it had been since I last saw him, since we kissed in the lake. I knew I was dreaming but the sight of those trees were bringing back too many painful memories. I began to cry once again. Suddenly there was a crunching of leaves; I whirled around to face whatever was coming through the trees. My heart was beating so hard. I stared hard into the trees hoping it might be him, it probably wouldn't be, my twisted mind probably put a fiend in there just to cause me more heart break. I Pulled out my staff and prepared to face my minds tormentor. The crunching and rustling got louder and I braced myself to attack whatever came through. The branches were pushed aside and I yelled (a/n I know Yuna would not yell but she's distraught and does uncharacteristic things) While I jumped forward. I swung my staff and caught a blonde fiend around the head. It yelled but now I was sobbing and I kept on hitting and hitting. In my blind attack I didn't notice the fiend pull out its own weapon. There was a clash on steel and I gasped when I finally could see my attacker.

It was Him! The same messy blonde hair, same blue eyes, same clothes. I couldn't believe it; I choked and fell into his arms, which he placed comforting around me.

"Shhhhh, I'm here now," he whispered. I wanted to stay in his arms forever but I knew that if I tried to it would be more painful when he had to leave again. I pulled out.

He looked surprised but quickly caught himself. "I suppose that's safest," he said softly. I studied his face carefully to see if it really was him. I began to cry again and sat on the floor. This was worse than a fiend, much worse. I would have to leave him again; he would have to go. I didn't think I could handle it again. He came and kneeled down next to me. "Listen Yuna I'm not dead." He told me, I looked up and gazed into his cerulean eyes,

"But you are, I saw you go, you're just a dream." He was shocked.

"I know but I was given another chance, Auron and my dad were fed up of me whining and moaning about you, so they begged the fayth to free me." He grinned goofily, "and here I am." I lowered my head again; I couldn't bear to look at him,

"What? In a dream? That's really alive isn't it!" I said acidly, this was too painful, Why did my mind have to play these tricks on me. He stood up and pulled me up.

"Listen Yuna, you have to help me. First trust me that I am alive and second you have to help me, I've been captured by a religious group in Bevelle. They plan to use me as a s- Sa- sacrifice!" He fell forward a like he was winded. I bent down and tried to pull him back up, but when I saw his face I gasped. Such a look of intense pain I had never seen, he fell to the floor as if someone had just kicked him. He yelled out in pain and shouted to me. "Yuna believe me! I love you!" with that he fainted and I felt myself being pulled back into reality. I screamed,

"Tidus, I love you!"
