Chapter 19, Soul searching

"Over a month ago, I came across two fangs, and they went after me. I did was was needed and took them out, and then I seen him, out of simpathy, I raised him, and soon we became best friends, and help each other."

"Wow." Aeris said, a tear building up. " Talk about sad."

"Simpathy is am emotion of weakness, yet it strenghened you." Cloud said impressed.

"Only for the cold hearted." I replied. We continued across the fields where I long before had trained for many hours, and improved my aim. It was getting dark and we needed to get to shelter. Cloud set up a tent and we camped out in the rocky areas. I decided to sleep outside and watch out for monsters, along with other things. I waited and watched out for anything suspicious. I thought that the night might actually be peaceful...and it was. nothing had bothered us during the night, and Riker stayed close by, keeping me warm. The sun rose and shined onto my face. Though I spent the entire night awake, I wasn't the least bit tired. Red XIII was the first to appear from the tent. He sat down by me and started to talk.

"You are different from the others." Red XIII started. "Your not a normal child, and fate has somehow intertwined to have you here...and you know it." He stared at me with his one open eye, which seemed to gaze right into my very soul.

"What if I was to tell you that you were right, and that I traveled a long ways to seek a personal truth. Would you tell the others." I responded, thinking deeply as the words flowed out of my mouth.

"I can tell that your intentions are pure, even though you attempt to make yourself, as people would say, 'a bad ass'. You have my trust." Red XIII finished. I thought about what he had said, fate, and it got me thinking. What if my presence wasn't just a gift, but required. Am I needed, and is the fate of this world going to placed on my shoulders. I didn't want to have to deal with that kind of pressure. Next time I see the old man, I'll try to have this explained to me. I will, if necisary, defend this world with my body and soul.

I had a hard time getting this story going again. I am sorry for the wait, and the shorter chapter, but you wait, because this won't be the last...I guarntee by my horrible spelling and absence of spell check
