This was it, the moment where you'll have to fight for your memories and your life. No matter how much you wanted to run, there was no where to.

How you wished you could just live the life of Robertha, even if she did not exist. That life was a complete lie, but you had been happy. You didn't have to deal with all of this drama, all the chaos.

If you did, you would be the most evil in the world. Whether you wanted to admit or not, this was your responsibility. All of this happened simply because of you. That nobody was creating chaos wherever she went, her existence was because of you existed.

It only seem reasonable that you ended this, you were scared because you knew that you probably would end up dead like her. You did not want to die, but all of your friends dealt with all of your problems while you were  living the life that Saix and the others created for you.

Taking a deep and long breath, you grabbed the dagger that had been laying on the bed. It was a very beautiful weapon, it looked more like a work of art instead of the one thing that had been used to take your life. The very thing that had also been responsible for giving life to that nobody.

With a new resolve, you headed to the door and swallowed as if that would get rid of the knot in your throat. Your were shaking, your heart racing at how terrified you were.

Outside, not far for the door, Roxas, Sephiroth were already waiting for you. Roxas had his eyebrows furrowed as he glared at the floor. It seemed he did not like this but refused to say anything. Sephiroth however, did not seem affected by anything. As always, you could feel the confidence in his stance, maybe it was the many years or experience of war that had helped him being so confident and a bit intimidating. His green cat like eyes trailed your form as you shut the door and stood in front of the two of them.
But he noticed the way your hands shook and how you tried to hide them behind your back. "I'm ready."

"Good." His voice traveled through the hall since there was nothing but silence. It didn't help that it was dark, they came to the conclusion that it was best to attack at night when they would be unprepared. This only made it a lot scarier."Roxas and I'll be your companions, the last thing we want is to get any unwanted attention. It will make it easier to travel inside, besides, Warrior of Light,Kain,Firon,Reno, Gippal,Baltheir  and Cid  will be giving us their full support."

Laying their lives for yours,that should give you more reason to put an end to all of this. The shaking wasn't as strong, now that you had the determination.

There was no one else but the three of you, Roxas stepped forward and although he hesitated, he created the corridor of darkness. First Sephiroth crossed it, and you were about to cross it when a very warm hand stopped you.

Turning around, you stared at Roxas who still had a frown upon his face. "You don't have to do this." It was so soft that you were surprised his words reached your ears. "I know you're scared, so if you tell me you don't want to do this, I'll do take you away."

This is why it was not fair to run, at least not fair to them. You could live without memories because there were always new ones to make. But, if you did that then you wouldn't be different than that nobody. You'll be betraying your friends when they had been dealing with the problems that were the very result of your mere existence. Maybe you had not created that nobody, at least directly, but even so, you couldn't just turn a blind eye to that issue. "Roxas,"your eyes traveled to the hand still wrapped gently around your wrist. "I have to do this, not only for me but also for everyone else."You  placed your other hand on top of the male's hand, and just couldn't help but feel your heart clench. "I would have been fine living that other life, but now that I know a part of who I was and of what you all meant to me...I just can't sit around an do nothing." This time his frown softened as his eyes stared back at your own."It isn't fair for either of us, it would not be fair that you all have sacrificed so much for me...And just for me to not do something about it. How could I not want to remember....."
