Final Fantasy VII SQUARE-ENIX.
"Seriously, I think your friend took more than a gun shot on his shoulder."
She obviously wasn't particularly concerned or aware of the situation in which she got herself by the whims of a sick humoured destiny.
Cid just couldn't believe she was just like Vincent's lost long love and Tifa…she was simply pissed. All she did was lay her head on the table and give scary stares to anyone who looked at her.
Vincent was in his bed resting once more after the previous shock, but obviously he was taking some time to swallow the last amount of disconcerting information.
Viviane was completely uninterested on their problems and just got up to cook the luscious rabbits waiting on her small kitchen.
"So, are you gonna eat or what?" she asked annoyed.
"Err…sure…I think Vince's gonna need to eat…"
"Not me! I'm fine!" she turned.
"What's the bitch's problem?" she asked.
"Not sure actually…hoy Tif…" he called her by putting a hand on her shoulder but she shoved him off.
"Leave me alone!" and she decided finally to get up and take a walk outside leaving both incredibly puzzled.
"Does she and the other guy have something between them?"
"What?" he chuckled "No way! She's probably remembering another guy lost over a dead woman. I guess she's sick of it."
"Now I get it why he called me Lucrecia before…"
XXXXX
The day was warmer than the ones spent back at the village and walking among trees and leaves filled with icky insects wasn't a problem for once. She brushed violently any branch or leaf in her way making a path leading…nowhere. She turned back after a while trying to restrain her emotions from making her get lost.
"Just what I'd need, to get lost on my own…geeez" she sighed heavily. She bent down to the curious figure of a snail and started looking at it.
"Really, I'm starting to fill like such an idiot! Why do I get involved with this kind of men? Just once I'd like to have a man who isn't mourning."
The snail was almost reaching a white mushroom and Tifa thought about giving him a hand there…wherever it was that it was going…
"Am I…a substitute?" after a while she felt a drop on her cheek, she swiped it away. Was she crying? How can she not be aware of it? She looked up, perhaps it came down from the trees.
Having enough of the snail and questioning she headed back, following the road of destruction she had delivered to that small wild life. Surprisingly she felt better and looked around her more carefully. Maybe she'd find something to eat.
Her attention dropped on a small tree, a very small one. She moved closer. It was more like a pile of leafs…and oh coincidence…another path of destruction was delivered here…but not from her. She followed it to the leaves and moved them…they were…covering…som…
"A CAR!"
She ran back with all her strength to the others. How happy would they be knowing she found a way to move faster and probably away. Maybe Viviane knew something about it, maybe it was hers but she refused to…she stopped.
"Why would Viviane not tell us about it? She doesn't want to share it with us?"
The way she had almost immediately trusted them, the fact she kept secret the vehicle knowing they needed a way out and specially…what a coincidence she'd look so much alike Vincent's mourned woman.
When she got back she found Cid waiting for her, he waved.
"You ok?"
She waved back smiling "Sure!"
"Looks like she got her cool back" he breathed in relief.
She entered and found Vincent talking to the woman who was ruining her life just by being alive.
"Tifa…" he got up "I'm sorry…"
"It's fine, just sit" her look had washed away all anger.
"Viviane, by any chance…do you have a map or a phone?"
"I've already told yer partner here that I have nothing like that!"
Tifa quickly turned away hiding a smirk "Darn bitch! I know you're hiding it."
"Tifa!" Vincent called her but she didn't listen and went straight outside.
"Tifa! Wait!" he pulled her arm "What is with this attitude of yours?"
"I'm…fine…why don't you just go back to your Lucrecia."
"It's not as it seems, I was just surprised. That's all."
"She's a hoax and nothing more…That woman is hiding something from us."
"That's ridiculous. Your jealousy is making you…"
"Jealousy!" she gave him a cold stare "I don't feel anything like that. I'm quite surprised you've set aside your usual suspicions because of her looks."
"What…are you talking about?"
She wouldn't tell him about that car, just not yet! She had to enjoy her victory and perhaps release him from his past…as possible as it could be.
"You have to forget about Lucrecia already!"
"It's a normal reaction to have when you meet someone you…"
"HEY!"
Cid ran to them, continuing was futile. Perhaps she could tell Cid at least…
"Dinner or whatever is ready. You guys doing ok?"
"Sure sure…" she added heading to the shack "Better check if the food is poisoned".
"Hey Vinc! Was Lucrecia…really like that…?"
"Well, pretty much…a lot actually…yes. Her hair is a bit darker perhaps but the rest…"
"Even that…attitude of hers?"
"…no…not that all. Lucrecia was a very polite and composed woman."
Cid sighed in relieve "Well, thank goodness for that then, you won't have much to regret!"
