'Molly.' Vincent's voice trembled as he spoke. His eyes felt sore a soreness he hadn't felt in years suddenly his cheeks were wet and he realised he was crying. No not just crying not just sobbing it was something else something much deeper the pain was spilling out from inside of him all his lonely years all his loses all the times he'd tried to make amends and now this he couldn't bare it he couldn't hold it in any longer. Vincent longed for Chaos who would have brought an end to his pain but there was no escape this time even that had been taken from him.

Vincent's betrayal went much deeper this time he had failed the woman he loved he'd never been in love the way he was with her and all he'd managed to do was lead her to a cruel death at the hands of Hojo. But he hadn't just failed Molly he'd let his bestfriend down as well Cid, Cid who was still dying all alone back in Rocket Town. Cid who had once made Vincent sware that if anything had ever happened to the pilot not that it ever had, but that Vincent would be around to take care of Shera and his daughters. Once again Vincent's own selfish desires had lead those around him the ones he cared about the most to diaster. He should never have tried to become human again his heart had always been dark and twisted his flesh had been warm but apart from that everything else had always been cold. It was only when he'd become when he'd become the monster he believed he was that he'd found the man inside. He cried again bitter tears shameful sobs.

Suddenly Vincent finds himself realised from the bonds, which were holding him to the opperating table slipping off the hard surface he starts to walk gazing down at his feet as he moves his feet it's been years since he'd seen them last. He's shaky on his old feet and suddenly Vincent falls against reaching out catching himself he pulls himself up onto his knees.

'Molly.' He whispered he's next to her now kneeling down reaching out he brushes his fingers across the fabric of her cheek she's cold but it's no eartly cold it's the coldness of death however many blankets or fires he would light for her nothing would make her warm again.

She's still beautiful only it's different now the light inside her has been turned off and she's paler the rosey hue of her cheeks as long gone. Before he'd ever seen a dead person Vincent had believed along with everyone else whose never seen a dead person that being dead and being a asleep are somewhat the same thing. That a dead person lies there looking peaceful the same way they did when they were alive and sleeping. That is not true.

She never looked like that when she was asleep even then she was so full of life she would chatter and snore and roll over and even sometimes smile she was never just still never just there like she was now.

'Molly.' Vincent motioned as he raised himself up leaning down kissing her lips softly, it felt different.

'Molly please please don't leave me.' Vincent whispered resting his forehead against the side of her cheek, hoping that his words alone could bring her back to the world of the living.

'I need you I can't go on without you.' That had always been true from the begining of their relationship he'd been the one who'd needed her she poured life into him, being with her was like the raise of the sun shining down on him. And then Vincent's foot brushed against the fabric of Hojo's lifeless hand the object, which had been clutched tightly within his narled lifeless hands rolling out. At the famliar sound Vincent glanced down comfort swept over him he picked up the small hand gun he was so at home with his Death penalty that it felt like second nature. He'd tried to shoot himself before but back then he'd been cursed with immortality it would be different this time he'd squeez the trigger and then it would be all over he'd be with her finally and no-one could part them again.

'Vincent no, you can't do this.' As he lifted the gun to his head a female voice filled his ears.

'Don't iterfer Aeris.' He frowned knowing that the flower girl would sweep in and try to stop him.

'You can't take you're own life Vincent that goes against everything.'

And this, this doesn't!' Vincent waved his free hand angrily over Molly's lifeless form.

'I'm sorry Vincent it wasn't surposed to be like this but there's nothing I can do now.'

'Is she there with you is Molly in the lifestream?' He heard Aeris pause something wasn't right.

'No somethings holding her back.'

'It's the thing Hojo put inside her it wont let her go.'

'It's not just the baby Vincent it's you as well you have to let her go, it's not Molly's time but the lifestream is calling her and no-one can fight that.'

Vincent realised a cruel chuckle as the flower girl's hypocracy. 'You brought Cloud back, but I surpose that was a rule you we're prepared to bend for the man you loved still love.'

'I am not and never have been in love with Cloud Strife I was simply repaying a favour, don't try and by time with me Vincent Valentine what you're doing to her is cruel let her go.'

'I can't I love her she's all I've got, please Aeris please give her back to me I'm begging you.'
