Aeris: Here's the next chap.
Disclimaer: I don't own FF7, but Elora, Pink14, and Silent Moon belong to me.
A Memory Never Erased
Darkness falls over a town two days later. A girl is sitting in a tree, looking out over the land. She hears footsteps and turns. A red wolf is walking towards the tree she is in, but how he's walking the girl can tell he hasn't seen or smelled her. The girl turns back to look over the land. The moonlight casts it's glow on her, illumanting three scars on her right arm. The wolf looks up and sees her.
"Elora!"
"Quiet!"
Elora jumps down and lands beside the wolf.
"Where is everybody else?"
"Asleep. My sister and Silent are the only ones still up."
"I hope. Where are they Nanaki?"
Nanaki points to the town with a paw. Elora looks and tilts her head.
"What's it called?"
"North Corel."
Elora tilts her head. It looked rundown, but it was better then nothing. Just as she starts walking, a howl fills the air. Elora turns and looks over to Nanaki. It's not him. It sounds again and Elora's blood runs cold. That was Pink's howl. It was her mournful and painfilled cry. Elora had only heard her used that cry once before, when she had first seen her injured and on the brink of death.
"Pink!" Elora cries, running into North Corel.
Nanaki follows after her, afarid for his sister's life. As they run, Elora runs into something and falls hard on her back. She slowly gets up and groans loudly.
"Silent! Pink!" Nanaki cries.
Elora lifts her head up and growls loudly.
"Leave them alone Sephiorth!"
The silver haired man turns to glare at her with a cold gaze. Elora returns it and growls.
"Your always hurting my friends to get to me! Take me and leave them alone!"
Sephiorth smirks and a hole in the barrier appears. Elora walks through it. As Nanaki tries to come through, it closes on him, leaving him on the outside. Elora stands on the edge of the barrier as Sephiorth floats towards her. Silent and Pink slowly stand up, ignoring thier numerous injuries.
"All you have to do is give me your white materia." Sephiorth says softly.
The white crystal in Elora's bracelet glows and Elora puts her arm behind her back, hiding it under her cloak. She shakes her head and swipes her staff in his direction.
"Take me." Elora says.
"No. Elora..you can't." Silent rasps, breathing heavily from trying to stand.
"I have to."
"Fire2!"
Elora lets out a startled scream as a colum of fire appears around her, burning her body. She cries out again, this time more loudly, as the flames get hotter.
"Elora!"
The flames disapper and Elora falls to her side, uncoiuncess. Silent runs forward and lunges herself at Sephiorth. She tears into his cheek before she gets thrown down. She lets out a chocked cry as her back comes in contact with the ground. Sephiorth smirks and disapppers. Elora follows soon afterward and the barrier disappers. Two chrouses of howls are heard as the two wolves try to call for thier friend.
*Dream*
"Elora. Wake up."
"I can't. I'm too tired."
"Elora. Open your eyes. You'll feel better."
Elora finally obeys. She opens her eyes and is shocked to see emerald green eyes staring at her. She steps back and gasps as she gets a good look at the woman in front of her.
"Aeris?"
The woman nods, smiling. Elora hugs her around the waist, crying. Aeris smiles and returns it.
"I'm so happy to see you!"
Aeris laughs.
"So I noticed. How have you been?"
Elora tilts her head.
"I could be better. I got burned protecting Silent and Pink."
"Always one to help aren't you?" Aeris asks.
Elora laughs and nods. Aeris hugs Elora again and bends down to look at her staright in the eye.
"Elora. Listen to me. The finally battle with Sephiorth is coming up and you have to be ready. Holy will help you, but I don't know how or how much it can protect you. Alright?"
Elora nods and looks at the materia in her bracelet. She had learned about the Holy materia durning the time she was alone, but it had almost costed her dearly. Elora looks up only to find Aeris has disappered.
"Aeris? Aeris?!"
Elora gasps loudly and grasps her right arm. She falls to her knees and looks at her hand.
"Oh no."
*End Dream. Start Nightmare*
A girl is seen standing in the room where the dragon was that had caused her pain in the past, but now it wasn't doing anything to her. On the contray, she had made friends with it. She had found it she could understand it and used that to her advantage. It told her it was sorry for attacking her and causing her much pain. The girl said it was alright and then asked it something else. The dragon has responded it wasn't it's doing when it had killed her mother and that something was controlling. The girl nods and jumps onto the dragon's back.
"What are you looking for?" The dragon asks.
"Well, Dragy. I'm looking for something on this white crystal I have."
Dragy was the only name she could come up with for the dragon, but it didn't seem to mind it. She looks over the writing on the walls and tilts her head.
"It's called Holy, but that's all it says. I wonder..."
She doesn't get any further. The temple starts rumbling and pieces of debris fall from the ceiling.
"The temple is collapsing! We need to get out of here!"
The girl nods and the dragon flies up. As it's flying out of the room, a big piece of debris hits the girl on the arm, causing her to fall off the dragon's back and onto the floor. She lays still, gasping for air. The dragon flies over and stands over her.
"Get out of here." The girl whispers.
"I've finally made a friend out of somebody. I won't leave you."
"What about the Demon's Gate?"
"He never liked me."
The dragon takes the girl in it's talons and flies off. The girl's breath slowly turns back to normal and she starts regaining her senses. As they fly over the clock room, the girl looks up and gasps.
"Dragy! Look out!"
The dragon looks up, then roars as the debris hits it's back. It loses it's grip on the girl and she plummets to the ground far below. As she falls, she's aware of stones hitting her body. Scars are left and when the girl hits the ground, she falls uncoiuncess. By all means she should have been dead, but at the last instant, Dragy had put it's tail out to catch her. It had fallen faster then her and was still very injured. And it knows the girl can die. He moves over and stands over her as the temple collapses.
*End Nightmare*
Elora wakes up with a gasp. She grasps her right arm and groans softly. She looks up again and looks around. There was snow everywhere and she was freezing. She wraps her cloak closer around her and stands up.
"Where am I? I'm so lost now."
She starts stumbling along. Most of her body was numb so she figured she had been there a while. Two hours pass and Elora can go no further. She collapses to her knees, looking at the town in front of her. She then falls forward, fainting in the cold. The crystal in her bracelet glows and a whitish glow seems to surrond her. Three hours pass and Elora wakes up. She coughs a couple of times and shivers. She sits up and puts a hand to her forehead.
"Oh man. I have a fever."
"Are you awake?"
Elora lifts her head up to see a young man step in. Elora nods and he walks over to her. He places a hand on her forehead and smiles.
"Your fever's gone down. Lay back down and rest."
"Where am I?" Elora mumbles as she lays down.
"Icicle Inn. What were you doing laying in the snow a few feet away from town?"
A coughing fit claims Elora before she answers. The man steps out for a few minutes, then comes back with something in his hand.
"I got lost." Elora answers simply.
"Take this."
Elora looks slightly confused when a pill is giving to her, but she puts it in her mouth and swallows it. She makes a face and whinces. She smiles slightly, then falls asleep. A green orb in her staff glows slightly and so does the white crystal in her bracelet.
"I have her, but her signal is weak. She could either be sick or uncoiuncess." A wolf announces, then walks on.
Behind her, a panther and another wolf stand.
"I can't believe I let her do that! What if she's killed?"
"Stop blaming herself. She can't stand seeing her friends get hurt. Would you do the same for her or any one of us?"
"Yes."
"Then stop."
The panther and red wolf follow the pink one until they come to the ocean.
"Now what?"
"She's on the other side. We could always swim."
The panther shivers and the pink wolf smiles.
"Alright. Summon it is."
A woman appears and gathers the three animals in her arms.
"Thankz Diamond."
The woman nods and contuies flying over the ocean.
