Helpless

I woke up, unable to feel my body, from the horrible dream I keep reliving night after night. The reason I don't sleep. I haunted me, I couldn't escape it. Part of me blames myself for Oblivion's death. If it wasn't for me he would still be alive.

"So, you are finally awake," I heard the voice of Rosso but I couldn't see her. I wasn't able to move my body it was... numbed. I felt so drowsy as well, my vision was blurry. "Don't even try to fight, it would be even more pathetic than the last time we battled I assure you."

"What... where...?" I could hardly talk... how could she? I looked around, seeing ruins and a dark sky... where were we?

"Not far from the Shinra building, darling, and believe me if Weiss did not want you alive I would have killed you already," Rosso stepped out in front of me. "Now what was a little girl carrying around a potent drug for?" Drug... Fina's plant from the manor? It was only to relax not...

I haven't eaten anything in a while... the chemicals from the plant would have been absorbed into my body quicker and had stronger affects... acting like a sedative.

"Once Deepground has taken care of those pathetic WRO troops we will take you to Weiss," Rosso told me. "Although I don't know why our leader would suddenly want you alive. Personally I preferred when his orders where to bring you dead or alive."

"Vincent... stop..." I tried to say 'Vincent will stop you' but it didn't work. Rosso only stared at me with a vague expression of surprise.

"Still alive, is he?" She asked, before kicking me. I didn't feel it but once the drug wears off I will. "Well let's see how he fares in trying to save you when he battles me. I'm he wouldn't mind if I used you as a human shield." I tried to lift myself up, but my legs couldn't hold me up. "Oh, trying to escape now are we?" I leaned onto a pillar as I tried to reach for my weapons but they were gone. "You think I'm stupid enough to let you keep them?" I could see them on the other side of the room.

I took a swing at Rosso but she easily dodged it and punched me in the face, giving me a black eye that I couldn't feel. I remained on the ground, not wanting to even try fight. I couldn't even try to use my Pyrokinesis because I don't know where I'd be aiming.

"Good, stay down there," Rosso sneered. "So pathetic and weak... it actually is a little sad if I'm honest. No matter, Weiss will deal with you soon enough."

"Vincent..." I whimpered, feeling scared. I don't what Vincent would do... would he even come? Would he tell me to go? Would he even acknowledge me? I could see Rosso turn around slowly, as though she had seen someone. She smirked and walked closer, standing in front of me.

"Vincent Valentine, still alive I see," She chuckled. Vincent? He's here? I couldn't turn around to see if she was only making a cruel joke. "And yet you still call yourself human."

"More human than you," Vincent? He's here. I knew it was him. I was terrified that he wouldn't come. Rosso laughed at his remark though.

"More human than I?" She acted in mock hurt before laughing. "Don't even try that, darling. I'm a Tsviet, I traded my human weaknesses for power a long time ago. And I will take this path until all life is sucked out of this pitiful world." She brought out her weapon and I rolled around and slowly moved my hand out. Vincent brought out his gun and stared down at me. He could tell I couldn't move, I wasn't able to.

I grabbed Rosso's ankle as Vincent fired but she kicked me in the chest and I curled into a ball as I heard gunfire. I tried to crawl away so I wouldn't be hurt but I couldn't get very far.

The gunfire was getting louder but I wasn't able to go any faster. Rosso ran close to me and pulled me in front of her, making Vincent stop firing, but point his gun at me.

"Afriad you'll shoot your darling little Angevale?" She taunted. Angry I hit her weakly in the stomach with my elbow but she only scoffed and threw me aside and shot at me. I managed to avoid it as Vincent started to fire at her again.

I got to the other side of the room and grabbed my sword and gun but I felt so tired. I couldn't feel anything. I remained on the ground and closed my eyes, hoping that neither Vincent nor I would be harmed by Rosso.

Soon the gunfire stopped and I opened my eyes, looking up to see Rosso lying on the ground, filled with bullets, on the ground. She didn't look pleased...

"Absurd..." She said as she got up, looking at Vincent with disbelief. "Absurd!" She backed to the edge of the building and gritted her teeth. "No one shall be stronger than I! No one! I shall not grant you the pleasure of killing me! No one will stand above me!"

I heard her manical laughter fade as I tried pathetically to stand on my own two feet. I fell to my knees, closing my eyes again, unable to keep them open for long.

I felt hands on my shoulders, knowing who they belonged to. I looked at Vincent for a few seconds then looked down again.

"Are you alright?" He asked. I wanted to nod but I couldn't really.

"Drugged..." I replied weakly. "Just go on... just leave me here."

"No, Deepground may capture you again," He told me, taking a tighter hold of me. I felt so tired as he tried to keep me on my feet by letting me lean against him, which made me blush a little. I stumbled slowly against him and kept my eyes closed as Vincent kept a good hold of me so I wouldn't fall or get hurt. However I felt so tired I ended up falling asleep. This time it was dreamless.
