My eyes didn't open when I first woke up. I was stiff, and couldn't move. Something was drapped across my stomach. On my side there was a pain burning on my side. I felt weak and frail. I couldn't move, or open my eyes. It was still dark in the room around me. Where am I? I thought to myself.
The person next to me shifted. I breathed in heavily, making them wake up with a start.
"Rena?" He called. It was a familiar voice, one that woke me up from deep within. I tried to open my eyes but they stayed closed. I tried to move any part of my body, none of it moved. Frustration grew within me. A tear rolled down my cheek. "Rena," He said again, his voice soothing and concerned. "Don't cry." I felt myself pulling towards him. My heart overpowering the darkness around me.
"Can you open your eyes?" Another voice, much deeper, asked me. I tried to open them again. Frustration racked through my body and another tear fell down my face.
"What is wrong with her?" The man that my body felt attatched to asked. The other didn't say anything but I could tell he didn't get the answer he was looking for. I tried to open my eyes again.
"Rena can you speak?" The deeper voiced man asked. I tried. My mouth moved but no noise came out. More tears escaped my eyes. I closed my mouth. Something soft and warm touched my lips. Instantly my stiff body relaxed and my eyes shot open.
"Kadaj?" I asked the person who had been leaning over me. A smile came to his face.
"She's okay!" He called to, well as I looked around, everyone. The room was filled with people. Some I didn't know, others that I faintly recognized, and one extremely tall man with silver hair. I had no memory of these people, only of the man next to me. Kadaj. Strong feelings towards him kept his memory in me. Who was everyone else?
"Rena," The tall silver haired man said, looking down at me. I removed my eyes from Kadaj's and looked up at him, "Do you recognize anyone?" I examined the room. Few faces were familiar. I shook my head.
"Only him," I looked at Kadaj. His face brightened at this fact, but then dropped again when the tall man scowled.
"Everyone out," The man said. People muttered and left the room quickly. The door clicked shut behind them. "Do you know who you are?" Good question. Did I? I thought back into what memory I had.
"Rena," I said slowly.
"Do you know what you are?" I thought back, further into what memory was there.
"A remnant?"
"Yes," The man said. "It may take time, but she will remember eventually. And if not," He stopped. Kadaj looked at him. "When you remember Rena, take this into consideration, 'Protecting someone you care gives you a stronger will than taking away a life.'" He left the room.
"Who was that?" I asked Kadaj, his blue green eyes swarmed with happiness and sadness.
"Our Lord, Sephiroth." He kissed me again. "How much do you remember?"
"I remember everything about you, before you dissappeared and when I revived you until a few hours ago, I can't remember anything else accept for my name and what I am," I explained. I searched deep in my mind. Faint memories fluttered near the edge of what felt like a wall of fog, but they fluttered back into hidding.
"You'll remember. And if you don't, it'll probably be for the better," He kissed me again. He hid something but I didn't question him. All I knew is I was safe, from whatever had been threatening me before. I was safe in his arms, and I knew that I would stay there, for now.
