Me-((sighs)) Last chapter! ((sobs)) I hope you liked it! I think I may go off into FF8 territory, Angel Sanctuary of course, and I think I may post a Lenne and Shuyin story. Still thinking about it. Sorry sorry sorry for the long wait!
Yuna-How could you end it like that?
Rikku-YEAH!
Me-'Cause I'm a cynical bitch, live with it. See you all on a later day I guess!
"Anyone else? Anyone else?" I wake to a man yelling. I see the boat. I get up and run quickly.
"Sir! I need a ride!"
"Where to miss?"
"Besaid Island!"
"Can do. That'll be 150 gil." I hand him 150, along with a few gil more. He has to live his life doing this. I walk onto the ship, ignoring his calls that I gave him too much money. I walk to the part of the deck where no one is standing. They're all trying to take pictures of their family members. I stare over the railing, and watch the water turn. For some reason water fascinates me. I watched the white foam be licked up by the dark shadows that surfaced. The waves tumbled across the surface, looking like a beautiful dance. Wait. What the fuck am I talking about? Where is all this dancing shit coming from? I look back at the deck, and I feel dizzy. 'Paine, find me! Follow me. Please, don't leave me here all alone!' What? What the fuck? Who's there?" I see something run quickly in front of me. What is going on here? I turn back to the sea, dizzier than before. 'Paine! Please, don't leave me like this. I'm crying. I'm scared, I'm lonely. Paine, please....' I look around. I see something run in front of me again. I decide to follow it. I walk swiftly, almost jogging after the colours I see once in a while. I have no idea why I'm doing this. I'm going crazy, I'm going insane. I walk into a dark corridor. The only light is through the doorway. 'Paine, hurry. It hurts! It hurts so bad!' I start to run. This is getting annoying, and is creeping me out. I run into a room. There's a little light in here. I look in the corner. I hear a gasp escape me. Sitting there is a little girl, crying. "Ar...are you okay?" She looks up at me. I turn away quickly.
'Paine, don't leave, it hurts. Love me, let me out, please, don't leave me here. You forgot about me for 16 years....Don't....Never again....'
"Just go away! I'm not you anymore!"
'Let me hurt her! I want to make her feel so bad....I want revenge. Give me that!'
"I am! Just....Just go away!" I looked at the long haired version of me. The three year old. I turned around and walked away. I was going crazy. Plain and simple, plain and fucking crazy. I won't let this bother me much longer. Hell no. This was going to just stop. Once and for all. I walk up to a passenger. "How much longer until Besaid?"
"Ai, well I can see it from here, maybe thirty minutes or so? Ai, I have no idea." I tilt my head, confused, and walk away. I stare at Besaid, and I can feel the anger rising within me, but I can feel the pain. How can I kill my sister? I'm so nervous, I'm so scared.... I don't want to do this alone. I need Baralai, I need Yuna, I need Rikku.... Why must I always face these things alone? I sigh as I close my eyes and listen to the waves and the choppy sentences I hear as people walk by. I hear some yelling and look up. We're in Besaid. I walk off the boat, and look around. It's so familiar, yet it feels so strange. It's like I'm a stranger here. I slowly walk through the beach, and I feel as if I'm going to melt on this very sand. The pain within my heart is something that I don't think many could ever know. The sun beats down on me, no clouds in the sky.... As I finally reach the bridge trail, I sit down and stare at the waterfall.
I have a lot of thinking to do. I have to map out everything that happened. My parents were killed by my sister, who at that time, had a large amount of followers. Though I still have no damn idea what was going through her fucking mind, she killed our parents and many others. I found that out because some idiot taped a meeting, maybe others on a sphere, I saw it, got piss drunk because of my sister, lost it, and forgot. She then lied to my face, tried to get me to kill the only person I really love. Now tell me how she doesn't deserve to die? Oh, right, respect, she's a relative, she is human, she deserves to live. The fucking witch deserves nothing more than a damn knife in her back, and I intend to have my sword in place of that knife. I get up and begin to walk towards the village. As I walk in, Lulu hurries to me.
"Paine? Are you okay?" I play along.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm used to killing people I love." I narrow my eyes at her. She doesn't notice.
"Come inside, I love you at least." I can't take it any longer.
"Like fucking hell you do!"
"Paine!"
"You killed our parents, I saw the damn sphere where you ordered it. You fucking bitch! No, I didn't kill Baralai, I came to pay our parent's debt. To finally make things right. I don't care who you are, sister or not, you killed my parents, you made me love you, and now, you'll die for it." I see Yuna, Rikku, Shinra, Buddy, Wakka and the baby, and many villagers staring at us.
"So what if I did? They never loved us!"
"Sure they didn't. Like the Christmas sphere? I know you saw it. They loved us more than ever, but you just couldn't love them."
"Can't love something that hated you."
"You just can't fucking give up." I take out my sword, my father's sword, and run towards her. She uses some magic, but that's not about to stop me. I hit her against the waist, and she falls to the ground, a slit down the side of her waist. 'It's now or never, Paine. What are you going to choose?' Lulu is looking up at me, begging me to let her go, to let her live. I take my sword, and plunge it through her heart. I hear the bone cracking, the muscle being ripped, and I know everyone is flinching and closing their eyes. I smirk. "Home is where the heart is...."
