[Dream] -03-
Warnings: [Blood, death, violence. If you've never played FF7, you might wanna steer clear.]
Dream Effect: [You can hear her thoughts. No other effects.]
Nibelheim was engulfed in flames. Every home and shop had fire spewing out of the windows and licking up the sides of the walls like hungry beasts. Bodies and debris littered the ground, covered in soot. The smell of burning wood, metal, and flesh filled the air, choking off almost all the oxygen. Tifa had never felt anything so hot in her life, her skin blistering as she ran close to flames it was best for her to avoid. Ash covered everything in site, falling from the sky like snow.
That didn't matter now... she had to get to the reactor. He father had followed the person who had done this. Sephiroth. He was responsible. Tifa breathed hard, the air growing slightly cooler as she made her way up the mountain. Usually the climb took longer than this, but she was practically flying to her destination.
As she entered the Mako reactor and made her way down to the core, she saw her father laying face down on the catwalk below. Fear spread through her as quickly as the fire had spread through Nibelheim, and she practically fell down the ladder trying to get to her father's side. When she knelt down beside him and felt for a pulse... there was none there. His abdomen had gaping hole in it, and Tifa practically gagged as she looked away.
"No!" she begged, covering her eyes. First her mom, now her dad too? Both her parents had to be taken? Her father would have been fine if not for Sephiroth, and the people he worked for.
"Sephiroth did this to you, didn't he? Sephiroth... SOLDIER... Mako reactors... Shinra... everything! I hate them all!" Laying her father's hand down on the ground, she bent over and gave his forehead one last kiss. The long blade Sephiroth used as a weapon was on the ground beside her father's body. She picked it up and ran into the center of the Mako reactor. The murderer was just at the top of the stairs, arms raised as if he were praying to someone.
"How could you do that to papa and all the townspeople?" she cried, rushing up the stairs and raising the Masamune high above her head. She'd kill him, she'd make him pay for this! But just as she brought the blade swinging down, Sephiroth turned and grabbed the hilt, almost effortlessly wrestling the blade from her. Then raising it, he brought it down, cutting through her vest and shirt, and into the flesh below.
Blood poured forth as she sailed back through the air, going to hit the stairs below. The only thought that raced through her mind as she was air born was...
"I'm going to die."
[The dreamberry cuts off there, Tifa's eyes snapping open. They remain wide in terror for a few moments, her hand raising to her nightshirt and clutching at her chest.]
