Chapter: Melitta's strands

2.Melitta's strands

I'm cold. So bitterly cold. And I feel lost in the crowd ... everyone stares at me like I'm an animal, an object ... maybe even desire ... that voice. It sounds so familiar ... is someone calling me? No. I'm alone as always ... I'm far away, nobody longs for me or nobody wants to see me ... but he ... those warm arms and this kiss on my forehead were they a dream? I suffer, I am not loved ... by no one ... I am alone ... alone ... forever? Love…
Yuffie woke up in a stranger's room. A fireplace in which a bright fire blazed, heated the room and filled it with comfortably warm air. It's warm…
"You're awake!" Came a voice. His voice…
Three days and three nights full of visions and now you finally wake up! Does he know that I have visions? Who is he?
Yuffie tried to get up - from this comfortably soft bed - but immediately lost her balance. "Careful ... you are not healthy yet.", Rio caught her and put her on the bed." You are the man from my dreams ... ", Yuffie muttered and reached with her hand along the edge of the bed. ", grinned Rio. Yuffie frowned and had a slight migraine while her eyes went black for a moment:" Just don't picture it ... "" I can at least control my visions, Miss! But thank you ... I can't heal people at will ... ", Rio thanked him with a slight smile and looking down at Yuffie." I thought it would have been a dream ... I can hardly tell the difference between reality and fiction. "" You sure want to eat, you are already very thin! Had to redeem soup and water on Kira's orders and you spit it out again and again, and that's not enough in the long run. "" You let it down from my lips ... "Rio helped Yuffie walk by offering himself to her arm as a support. Walking quietly through the hallways, Yuffie winced.These hallways ... then came those looks ...
Rio led Yuffie into the dining room, much like a guide dog. It was loud and the room seemed to be filled with people, cat people, telepaths, shape shifters and other strange beings. They reverently cleared the space in front of Rio and kept 2 seats free. Rio put Yuffie down on a chair: "What do you want to eat? Today we have almost everything here!" Yuffie first looked to the right and then to the left. The many figures struck her as shady and strange. "That there ...", she pointed to the salmon. "Salmon? Well, what else? That can't be everything!", Rio pulled the tray with the fish close to Yuffie and she drew in the scent of the fresh fish. A loud read from the people stretched across the hall and the many glances that Yuffie met made her even more insecure. Rio saw Yuffie look around, trembling, fearful, so fragile. He hit the table with his right fist and people's eyes disappeared.Again, it was the prejudices that annoyed him. Yuffie began to prick the fish with a fork and gradually devoured it until she reached for a salad to eat. Rio ruffled her hair elegantly and properly, so that it showed his pride. Lauria, a female cat person in Overal, stepped out of the crowd and bowed her head in front of Rio before she began to speak: "Only two more days, then the complete damage will be repaired." "Then we finally have our peace and our lost again We can bring sleep back then. ", Said Rio calmly in a tired tone. "Yeah except the pilots.", Lauria giggled. "I'm a cruel slave driver, am I Lauria?" Rio laughed to himself. "Oh what, oh where you're all right. We women can't contradict your charm anyway!" Rio blushed slightly: "But only with women Lauria, only women!" Lauria winked at Rio and disappeared again among the people. Yuffie had long since eaten two more legs of a Thendara desert bird and was drinking a glass of water."He's really more popular than anyone would be afraid of ..." Yuffie thought, saying it in a low voice. She nudged Rio lightly, who had almost forgotten her: “What's your name anyway?” “Rio. Rio that carries the legacy of Lazarus or Rio la Andra de Daniel. That means something like: Rio son of Andra married to Daniel . ", Yuffie recognized the word Lazarus but found no match in her memory for it:" Lazarus ... "" Yes Lazarus ...! "Replied Rio. For a moment both remained silent until Rio stood up, pushed the chair to the table and made a serious face again. Looking at the table, Yuffie asked Rio: "Who is actually telling me that you are and you're not lying to me." "Nobody. But you have the right to go at any time, we will take you where you want.", Rio let himself be Sink back slightly and straightened his gaze again: “It's up to you.” “BUT!” objected Neriah to a telepath. "You ungrateful piece! You ask him such a question after he saved your life?"Rio looked angrily at Neriah:" Restrain your tongue Neriah, how can she be sure if she was cheated on in such a way before? "Yuffie looked at Rio, startled." Why ... how do you know all this about me? "" I already told you that I also have visions! Yuffie ... when you dreamed I dreamed along with you, I saw everything. " "WHAT? ", Yuffie startled from the new one." Forgive me if I wasn't allowed to! I wanted to know more about you ... "Yuffie stood up:" I know next to nothing about you. "Yuffie was now clear why she felt Rio's presence in her sleep. Yuffie felt insecure again, no longer because of the crowds but because of Rio. Rio lowered his gaze in front of Yuffie and whispered:" I'm sorry if I'm too much into yours I have penetrated my privacy. I was… so fascinated by it. "Yuffie's feelings of fear returned from the many new glances she had phahed in, and the fact that she was read like an open book to Rio that he could open and close as he pleased, sparked renewed panic in her seemed to captivate."Let's go somewhere else, the dining room is for dining, not for gossiping ...", Rio suddenly turned the situation around and grabbed Yuffie's arm, gently but firmly pulling along. Actually, Yuffie would have torn herself away, but she wanted to get away from the many people and eyes. After Rio and Yuffie left the room, Rio immediately let go of Yuffie's hand. "I want to apologize to you. I should have waited until you were awake and should have asked yourself these things. Whether you would have revealed them to me would then have been your business.", Regretted Rio. "Yes you would.", Yuffie replied, almost angry but friendly. Yuffie grabbed Rio by the torso and lowered her head to his chest so that he stopped. "How do you do that?" "What?" "You can control your visions, right? They torment me again in my sleep and they come and go against my will!" Rio laid his head on Yuffie's head: "I will tell you everything ... is certainly more comfortable in a warm room and with a seat, isn't it?"" Yes, "replied Yuffie, let go of Rio and walked into Rio's room as previously indicated. Yuffie took a seat on his bed and he sat comfortably in his armchair. Rio hesitated for a moment, but then began to say:" I was Born near the slums in the Jaelle guild house, together with my brother Noire. "Yuffie wasn't interested in life stories at all, but this time it seemed different. So Rio continued:" At the age of four, my brother and I received the gift of directing the elements of nature. Our mother Andra forbids us to use it so that no one suspects that we are Lazarus. A year later we got visions just like you did in your sleep. We could no longer keep our secret and apart from the fact that I, my mother and my brother Noire were exposed, we had to leave the guild house as the rules said that no male is allowed to stay in the guild house over 5 years.We were presented as a danger and banished from Jaelle. We somehow got by for 5 years until we met a subordinate of the government named Zhong. He offered us money and housing if we would work for the government. Below that we went to the Yenova research project. Noire and I didn't understand what it all meant at the time, but the fact was that our mother had helped create this monster by consenting to cross our genes with humans. Perhaps our father knew that it would turn out like this, perhaps mother left him when she found out about this fate that he was a Lazarus, but he had long since made her pregnant. So many creatures were created that should be endowed with our abilities, but there were more monsters than real living beings. "Yuffie listened." But our mother was worried about us, wanted to break off the project that she had started anyway to feed us.So it happened ... that Andra was shot that night when our visions became unbearable and there seemed to be no mercy. “Yuffie felt Rio's deep pain in his soul, which seemed to be lost by the death of his mother.” The experiments failed endlessly, no being could be created that could survive from human beings and from the DNA of the Lazaurus for the abilities like that To apply the art of thought transmission. But ... one tried to keep one of the beings alive and continued to add the cells of Lazarus to him and recognized that these destroyed the human cells and to transform the body into a single DNA body consisting of Lazarus. So Yenova was created a being so horrible to behold that one was haunted with nightmares for the rest of one's life. Imagine a body consisting only of organs with a head from which a human appearance was slowly formed. At some point Yenova's abilities were confirmed, she could, just like us, master the elementary forms of fire, water, earth and air and she, too, could master the telepathic abilities of us.So they and downright Yenova put in front of the food and I saw how Noire was put down by Yenova ... miserably. "Rio seemed to be psychologically shattering what he was saying from the inside." I ran for my life while she did that ... I knew I couldn't have saved Noire ... as much as I wished ... luckily I was studying At that moment ... the gift of walking through the shadows ... this was the only way I could escape from the government building and thus from Yenova ... what happened after that you must have read in the
