Lost Love
A FF7 FanFic brought to you by ArcaneWeapon
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story they all belong to SquareEnix and I'm just borrowing them. Yadda, Yadda you know the rest.
I'd like to thank Anrixan for getting me into writing FanFiction with her excellent piece Zanarkand A-East and all the support I received from other members of the SF community. You're all great!
Intro: A Dream"He felt himself slowly losing control of his body and before he knew what was happening he found himself rushing at the girl praying in front of him with his sword raised over his head.
"Must… slay… Ancient," a voice repeated over and over again in his head.
"No, don't do it! You LOVE her!" a tiny voice cried out from the recesses of his brain.
He heard his friends shouting at him in horror but he couldn't understand what they were saying as the voices continued to battle inside his head. The strange one was quickly drowning out the tiny one and his sword was rapidly nearing her perfect face.
"Ugh... what are you making me do?" he asked the voice inside of his head.
"Nothing much, really. I just need you to kill the Ancient, the one true threat to my goal of ultimate power!"
Just then, with his blade inches from her face, Cloud realized what he was doing.
"No! Never! You will never get me to harm her Sephiroth!!"
His blade stopped an inch before hitting her, his muscles quivering with the force it took to stop the blow. Unaware of what almost happened she looked up from her prayers and smiled beautifully at him, slightly confused by his sword but confidant that he would never hurt her.
"Fine then. I'll just have to do it myself!"
"What? NO!" Before Cloud could react Sephiroth fell from above, driving the Masamune straight through the Ancient's soft body. Her eyes widened with shock and she slowly fell to the ground, her hair falling out of its usual braid to lay spread across the floor. The white orb she had been holding, possibly mankind's last hope, fell from her hands and rolled into the water.
"NOOOOOOO!" Cloud screamed in a howl of pure agony and hatred.
He sat bolt upright in his bed panting hard. Sweat was pouring off him and covering the sheets. He had been having the same dream every night since she died, but never before in this much detail.
"It almost feels like it happened yesterday and not six months ago," he whispered to himself. "DAMN YOU SEPHIROTH! DAMN YOU TO HELL! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DIE!?" Cloud screamed, pounding the wall with his fist and making his knuckles bleed as he slowly started crying.
"I just want her to come back to me. I just wanted us to be happy and live our lives together. Was that too much to ask? Cait Sith even gave us a fortune saying that we were the perfect couple. We were meant for each other!"
"I… I'm so tired of being alone! I just want Aeris to be alive!" he wept falling down onto his bed, his muscular body shaking with his sobs.
Authors Note: Wow…. That was a LOT easier then I thought it would be! Sweet I even like it too! Gives muse a high five! I didn't really like making Cloud seem like such a crybaby but I really wanted it to be obvious how much he misses Aeris (I'm going to use the Aeris spelling since I think Aerith is actually just how it's pronounced). Don't worry Cloud's going shape up in the 1st chapter! At this rate I should have at least 1 chapter up a night! Oh and to give full credit the line "Ugh… what are you making me do." is actually from the game. I hope you guys like this plz R&R!!
