Requestedby: Haku
Character: Colette Brunel
Prompt: Freedom
Cold. So cold. I don't know how long I have been so cold. It seems like forever.
I'm always floating in the darkness. I don't know why.
I have the feeling... I should be smiling. But I'm not. Though I'm not crying, either.
Shing.
What was that? Warmth. Something light and fuzzy.
Ba-dump.
My heartbeat? No- Someone else's. It's getting further away.
No!
I find myself running. Where am I going? What am I running from?
...
It's warm again. Warm... Searing heat...
Colette!
I open my eyes and cry out, "Lloyd!"
He embraces me. Warm, so warm!
For the first time in what seems like eternity, I feel truely free.
