Chapter Thirty One

Awakening

Jessi didn't know how much longer she had, all she knew was she was finally going to be with her family soon. Her eyes grew heavy and she had never felt so tired before in her life. As she heard that angry roar again, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"This is definitely not good." Aeris said while looking at the approaching WEAPON.

The stop spell that Jessi cast on Vincent had worn off and he had snapped out of it just in time to see Sean blast Jessi. He had watched the scene play out, helpless to help the woman that had been on his side all along.

"If she doesn't transform she'll die!" He said, "Jessi! Come on, you've got to transform!"

Sephiroth watched in horror as she continued to fall, Vincent was right, if she transformed she would be allright.

"Jessi," he yelled, "please…"

An enormous shadow fell over Jessi and a great gust of wind blew past her, but she did not care. Mom, Lucrecia, I'm coming home…she thought happily. She heard her friends, her true friends yelling to her.

I'm sorry I deceived you guys, I'll miss all of you…

"…Please don't leave me again!"

Jessi felt fresh tears forming in her eyes, oh Seph; I'll always be with you.

She felt cold water surround her and heard Vincent yell for her to transform. But as the darkness came, she released her breath and welcomed death.

"Jessi…"

"Please Jessi, please don't leave again!"

"Come on Jessi, its time to wake up…"

"No! Jessica…Don't leave me…I LOVE YOU!"

"Jessi…It's time you woke up and accept your destiny."

"I can't wake up, I'm dead."

"Wake up Jessi, when you wake up you will see…"

"See what? I can finally rest now…let me be."

"You're not dead silly, you are only sleeping."

"Sleeping…there is no way I'm dreaming this."

"Wake up Jessi, wake up and release the power sleeping inside. I know you feel it's restlessness, you can feel it crying for you to release it."

"I…I can't…"

"Yes you can."

"…Bu… how?"

"…Open your eyes."

Jessi's eyes snapped open and they were completely black, she let out a mournful cry and two large black, feathery wings materialized from her back. She held her arms out and the Ocean divided, leaving her floating in the middle of two large waves. Avalanche stopped fighting WEAPON when it turned to face her. When they seen what it was looking at, they gasped. The wings surrounded Jessi just like they did when she was transforming into the Blue Harpy, but when she emerged; she was not it Harpy form.

"She…she's an Angel!" Aeris cried out.
