Terra's Adventure

Chapter II

The Clown

The two exited the Chocobo Forest and as soon they did, they could see smoke in the distance...in the towns direction...

"That's My Town! NO!" Terra ran as fast as she could toward her town. She imagined her friend, Rydia, in flames. She stopped when she reached the center of town. Terra broke out in a cry when she saw the ruins of her town. The houses had been scorched by flames, some burned down completely.

"H..." Terra choked on her tears, "How did this happen? I was gone for just a few minutes! What happened here!" Terra screamed aloud. "I-I have to do something..I have to do something!" She rushed to each house casting the Black Magic Spell, Water, to put out the fires. But they were to strong, they only kept returning. What Terra was doing, was futile.

"Terra, be careful. You may get burned." Red X warned.

"I don't care! I don't care!" Terra yelled back, and continued to cast the spell.

"Oh, you don't? Well you should, My Pretty..." A frightening laugh said. "It's been so long since I've seen that baby face of yours."

"Who are you?" Terra asked the Mysterious Voice.

"I, am just an Old Friend of your parents. It's a pity you don't remember me. I thought you would, buuut I guess I'll have to jog that ol' memory of yours to make you remember, My Pretty." The Voice said.

"He's hiding behind the flames." Red X told Terra, then he spoke to the Mysterious Voice. "Come out and show yourself! Are you a coward?"

"I AM NO COWARD!" The Voice yelled out. "Let me reveal myself and maybe then you will remember me?" Behind a wall of blazing flames, a person walked out. But the walk was more of a skip. The person wore a red cape, a ruffled collar, it was a man but could be mistaken for a woman. His face was covered with white makeup. With every step he took there was a sense of joy. He leaped and skipped as if he didn't have a care in the world. The happiness he emitted was almost scary... His eyes were also very frightening, they glowed bloody-red, almost pitch-black. "Do you remember me now, My Pretty?" He then laughed uncontrollably.

"KEFKA?" Terra screamed as a load of horrifying memories came back to her mind.. and she remembered..

He was the one.. who killed her parents...
