Beloved Brothers And Dear Sisters
Disclaimer: I don't own FF.
This one's about the Eternal Ritual twins. I've made up the names. Warning: Suicide.
Me and Ume. We'd always say we'd always be together. It would be Uma and Ume forever. Death would not part us. We insisted on wearing the same clothes- light orange Kimono with a spring green obi. Our hair used to be so long, down to our hips. We both cut it short. It now fell to our chests.
I remember that day we both felt a butterfly bruise burn onto our neck. I am speaking of course, of the crimson sacrifice. We stepped into the candle-lit room. It was in the ring of white candles that I had to take her life. First we sat down. Then slowly, I was
on top of her, killing her gently. She faded between my fingers. I gazed at my hands in shock. It was a while before the preists claimed her so I propped her up against me and put her cold arm around me, while I put my arm around her. She was so cold. Well, I'd expect that from someone dead. I held her limp body close and reminsced the good times.
FLASHBACK
"Ume?"
I shook her awake. Her pretty eyes flickered open.
"Uma?"
It was the middle of the night. For some reason, I wanted Ume to be awake with me. I wanted her to be with me always. We had little time with each other.
I was on top of her.
"Hey Ume. I wanted you to be with me. I'm awake, so I want you to be awake too." I whisper to my tired twin. I reached out and touched her face in the dark. She reaches out for me, I greet her soft hand with mine.
"We have little time together, Uma." Her cute voice whispers to me.
"I know," I whisper back, leaning in and pecking her cheek. "But we might as well make the most of it."
I cup her breasts in my hands and she grabs my waist.
"Uma...Uma" She whispers my name over and over. "I love you..."
END OF FLASHBACK
Soon the priests come for her. I sit there still, pretending she's still with me. Pretending we're somewhere else, pretending we're talking, laughing, hugging, kissing.
FLASHBACK
We're playing in our garden. Just me and Ume. There's an old tree where we can hide
sometimes. Its our special place. We're playing tag, and run I run to the tree.
Ume trips up in persuit of me and lands on top of me. We are completely covered because of the tree. She smiles at me trying to get away and winks. She holds my arms down with hers and kisses my lips. I break free of her grasp and begin to take off her Kimono while she's still on top of me. She begins to take off mine. I take hold of her back and kiss the exposed skin her kimono had slipped off of.
"Ume..." I whisper to her. "I love you..."
END OF FLASHBACK
I promised Ume something. After that I would've killed her, I would kill myself. That way we would always be together. I take a rope and tie the noose. I tie one end to a beam in the ceiling of our room. I climb the chest of drawers and slip the knot on my head.
"We'll always be together, Ume. Even in death." Was the last thing I whispered.
