******************************Present Time*******************************
The rest was a blur except memories of the lab and of those horrid tests. Thirty
years there, and the worst torture was when he bragged about what he’d done to Vincent,
and with the Jenova project. It was then that she felt another presence on the balcony.
She heard the timid footsteps and instantly knew their owner.
“Hello Aeris,” she said without even looking.
“Wow,”Aeris said,”You knew it was me.”
“You tread lightly,”Mym replied,”It wasn’t that hard, plus your perfume gave it
away.”
“Oh,”Aeris said as she walked up beside Mym and looked out at the night sky, her
now loose hair flowing down her back.
“So,”Mym began,”What do you want to talk about?”
“Or were you just having trouble sleeping and decided to come out here,”Mym
continued,”I think you want to talk.”
“You’re right,”Aeris said,looking at Mym,”About you and Vincent.”
“What about us?”Mym asked, not looking back at the younger woman.
“You two knew each other before...” Aeris said,”And I’ll be honest, I heard what
you said before you opened the coffin.”
“I know you did,”Mym said,blinking and once again looking at the moon.
“But,”Aeris started,”What’s the story with you two?”
“It would give you nightmares,”Mym replied simply, turning her back to the rail
and leaning against it.
Aeris stepped closer to her,”But I want to hear this,I can handle it. I am grown
up.” The girl looked at her, her eyes glowing violet and her arms folded across her chest.
“Fine, but don’t blame me when you can’t sleep.”
“I can handle it,”Aeris pressed, slightly unnerved by her eyes glowing that eerie
shade of purple.
“I hope you can,”Mym said as she sat down and prepared to tell her story,”I hope
you can.”
