Summary: After defeating Sephiroth, all of the heroes are turning back into their ordinary life. But there's one man that have no where to go to.
::: Crimson Tears :::
All the continents rejoiced for the world’s bravest heroes. After defeating Sephiroth, people started to recognize Cloud and others as the saviors of the planet. But then, a name was slowly forgotten and lost in the darkness. That was exactly what Vincent Valentine wanted. He wanted to be left alone and isolated from the rest of the world.
The former Turk had no where to go right now. He walked aimlessly forward, anywhere his legs managed to take him. Sometimes he wondered how the others were doing at this time. Cloud must have stayed with Tifa and re-opened the bars. Barret and Marlene… the last time he was still in the group, he heard that they would move back to Corel and would re-build the almost-dead town. Red XIII must have returned to Cosmo Canyon. Yuffie was probably still running around freely, either waiting for the right moment to snatch someone’s materia or go back to Wutai. And Cid… he had returned to Rocket Town and to his assistant, Shera. All that was left was himself. He got no place to return to, neither would there be anyone who would wait for him to return.
A few miles away, he could hear the sound of water falling; Vincent was back in his beloved’s place. Walking a few steps over the mountains, the huge water fall came into view. Nothing had changed… Nothing at all.
The former Turk climbed down the mountain and walked ghostly toward the secret passage behind the fall. The air around him was cold… so cold that his skin felt like it was being pierced by many invisible blades.
The floor, tables, books, chairs… all were covered by white dust. It seemed that no one knew that this place actually existed... It was secret after all. The traces and steps Cloud and him had made when they had ‘invaded’ the place were also covered by whiteness, made indistinguishable from the rest of the floor around it. Lucrecia… He looked around once more and remembered how his memory pictured Lucrecia to look like. She was beautiful… So beautiful that he could not seem to resist her.
He then continued to walk deeper into the back of the room. When he stepped closer to a particular wall, Lucrecia’s hologram image played automatically. Vincent’s heart seemed to beat slower everytime he saw her. Lucrecia was smiling at him and asked Vincent how he was.
“Lucrecia…”
He reached his normal hand toward her. It hurt his heart whenever he realized that Lucrecia would not be there with him anymore. How he could not pull her into his embrace… He knew that Lucrecia would still imprisoned in his heart even until the end of the time. The hologram image of Lucrecia buzzed slightly as his hand moved right through her. She smiled gently and started to talk normally as if she were right there in front of him.
It’s just a program…, Vincent thought to himself and stepped backward slightly. She was talking normally then disappeared as Vincent retreated too far away from the detector. His heart sank as his repeated fear of losing Lucrecia became reality once more. He hoped that this was another of his nightmares. Hoping that someone would come and wake him up from his them.
Was he living inside the nightmare or was the nightmare living inside him? Vincent did not care much right now, because all nightmares that he feared had already been called upon him. His desire for forgiveness also faded. No one could forgive the sins that he had committed. His hands already full of blood… many people died or killed by his hands. Even though they all were his enemies, it still turned him into a killer.
His leg accidentally bumped against an old fallen chair behind him and it made him lose his balance and stumble back onto the dust floor. Death Penalty fell from his side and dropped onto the ground beside him with a heavy metallic sound. The former Turk stayed where he was and stared at his weapon.
Death Penalty reminded him of how many times he had tried to end his miserable life. But the monster inside him kept him alive… no matter how he tried to take his own life away.
Maybe… this is what I deserve. Vincent reached for the gun.
Maybe Lucrecia would not forgive me that easily…
Death Penalty rose up slightly and he closed his eyes. Nothing would bother him anymore. Nothing left for him in this world. All that he wanted was forgiveness.
The sound of gun fire ricocheted in his ear and the former Turk fell lifelessly against the white ground. The world turned into darkness before a familiar feeling started to build up inside him. He could feel the bullet inside him starting to dissolve and the wounded flesh started to regenerate itself. The veins inside his body started to move and it was becoming unbearable. Yelping in pain, he rolled into a kneeling position and held his head with his hand and claw.
He could hear the laughter echoing in the back of his mind. The monster inside him was laughing and mocking him. Because he was too weak to control the monster… too weak that it was, in turn, the monster who controlled him.
A few hours had passed as Vincent lay down on the bloodied floor lifelessly. He listened to the sound of silence, nothingness and regret. Staring blankly into the empty space, his vision was blurred with the shade of red and white by his crimson tears.

Note 2: I'm not really sure whether it's the real Lucrecia or a program inside Lucrecia's Cave >_>; but anyway... I thought it's a program, so yeah... XD;
I hope you enjoy reading the fanfic ^^ <3
