Muhahahaha! I'm back with another chapter. I know Shizuma; you probably want to hit me across the head because it always takes me ten years to update. I'm very sorry for that too; I just seem to have a real hard time coming up with ideas lately. Well here's my new chapter, I can only hope it will be as long as the other one. Oh and before I forget I need to thank "Shizuma The Black Magician Alchemist" for inspiring me to write this chapter and helping me come up with some ideas. Enjoy!
Chapter 5- That Girl
Cloud, Barret and Aeris finally came back from exploring the town. When they came in the room where the three girls were sleeping they couldn't bare to wake them up, they looked so peaceful. They decided that they would find somewhere else to rest and when everyone woke up they would find each other and continue their quest.
Tifa was still soundly asleep, Tara was frowning in her sleep (thinking of Sephiroth) but Shizuma was moving around vigorously. She tossed and turned in her sleep, she was having a horrible nightmare. Her eyes closed tightly, her hands grabbing the blanket and she was shaking terribly
- The dream -
Shizuma was walking down a long dark alleyway. She had no clue where she was or what she doing there. It was really quiet she could only hear the sound of her footsteps and her heavy breathing. "What's going on?" she thought to herself, "Where am I?" She then suddenly saw a figure in the darkness, she ran towards it hoping to find someone like Tara, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Red XIII or even Aeris for that matter. She got a quick glance of the person and stopped abruptly. "Can it be him? No…it can't be?" she wondered.
The person advanced and started talking "Shizuma? Do you remember me?" the voice asked sadly. Shizuma gasped, this couldn't be happening. "Of course I remember you…how could I forget you, you freak!" she yelled angrily. "I'm a freak? Well then wouldn't that mean your one too? We committed the same crime" the man started to laugh slightly. "NO!" she screamed blocking her ears "I didn't do anything, it was you! I'm innocent! GO AWAY!." The guy started to laugh even harder now. "Sure you didn't so anything. Don't worry I'll find you, your not supposed to run away from your loved ones like that" he said as if he was concerned. "Get away from me! I don't love you! You beast! GO AWAY! GO AWAY!" she screamed over and over again. "You can say what you want but I know what you are and how you feel deep down inside…I am going to find you" he glared evilly. Tears started to slide down Shizuma's cheeks "Just go away, please simply go away" she curled herself in ball and started rocking back and forth.
- End Of Dream -
Shizuma's head bolted up from her pillow, she was sweating immensely. Her cheeks were stained of light tears and her hair was soaked from all the sweat. She held her head with her hands. "Why did I dream of him all of a sudden" she thought to herself. She decided that she needed a walk to clear her mind a bit. She stepped outside; the brisk air blew her hair out of her face. She walked off to the beach; she liked to watch the waves come up to the shoreline. She sat down at the edge; she found it peaceful being so close to the ocean like this. She was suddenly all stressed out; she bit her lip while wondering why she dreamt of that demon. After a while she crunching sounds, someone was coming. She turned around to see Tara coming, she was rubbing her eyes.
"Hey, what are you doing out here? Are you ok?" Tara asked with concern in her voice. Shizuma looked up at Tara and smiled "Ah I'm ok, I just had a bit of a rough night" she sighed. Tara now walked on over next to Shizuma and sat beside her. "I know its stupid, but when I saw you gone and how the sheets of the bed you were using were like thrown around everywhere…I thought something happened to you. I was pretty worried" Tara said shakily. Shizuma hugged Tara tightly "Ha-ha don't worry about me, I'll be just fine…" she hesitated a bit.
"Are you sure you're alright? You never hesitate, its un-Shizuma like" Tara said while letting a weak laugh out. "Well I'm just thinking about the weird dream I had, its creeping me out. It's reminding me a little much about my past" she now put her down in-between her arms. Tara didn't respond, as much as she wanted to know about Shizuma's past, she didn't want to push her into to telling her.
Shizuma looked to around to make sure no one was around. "Hmm uh Tara would you keep a secret? Like a really dark secret?" Tara looked at Shizuma strangely she was acting very weird. "Yeah sure, I always keep secrets. I'd never tell anymore" Tara put her hand on the area of her chest where her heart is. Shizuma zoomed in close to Tara's ear "I think I killed someone!".
