I can feel their eyes. They were staring at me. Figures. After what I've just told them, let's just say there's some awkwardness. 

"If you have something to say to me, say it." I say.

"Uhh well..." Aerith started.

"We-" Biggs started. 

Jessie walked in front of me.

"Why did you make that deal?" She asked.

I push in front of her.

"Not like I had a choice. She can be...persuasive." I say. 

"Why can't you break off of her now?" Wedge asked.

"Can't." I say.

"Why?" Aerith asked.

"I just can't alright?" I say.

"Let's leave this discussion for another time. We have to find that weapon." Barret said. 

"Agreed." I say walking ahead.

I know her malice. They need to stop getting involved. I don't plan on telling them what she does to those who she hates or have crossed her.

"How could she have done that?" Aerith asked.

"Done what?" Wedge asked.

"Kill that animal creature with her hand. Her form is human." Aerith said.

"That's not her true form." I say.

"What? What do you mean?" Tifa asked.

"Her true form, I've heard is monstrous. Those who look upon it die." I say. 

"That's not creepy at all." Aerith said.

"Look guys. A ladder I bet it leads to the weapon." Jessie said pointing.
