Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ The Life of Erin Tribal ❯ Chapter 8

The Life of Erin Tribal

"I don't know Celes. It'll be a miracle if she survives," explained the doctor, walking out, not giving Celes a chance for a question.

She sat down next to Erin and held her hand. If a miracle was going to happen, she wanted it to happen then and there.

As Celes thought to herself, she felt a little life come back to Erin's hand. She looked up, at Erin face.

Erin opened up her eyes and looked at her mom. She tried to get up but was still too weak.

"Erin!" Celes said with surprise.

"Mom..?" quietly asked Erin.

"Your ok! I was so worried about you! If you want to know what's been going on for the past day, I've been writing in your journal. Hope you don't mind," explained Celes.

"Yeah thanks. Where's Terra?" asked Erin.

"Oh, she's out for breakfast! Can you get up?" she asked softly.

Erin tried to get up, which turned to be a success with help. She smiled slightly, then went over to the table. She sighed, and then noticed a package on the table. Unknowingly, she grabbed it, but first noticed whom it was to.

`Shiva til Alexandros, Erin'

She frowned, the looked inside of it. There lay a beautiful set of pens, and a letter. She grabbed the letter first, hoping it was from her sister. It was already opened, so she just pulled out the letter. It read:

`Erin,

Happy birthday! Oh, how I miss you. I can't tell you where I am, or else I will be in trouble.

Anyways, how have you been? Life where I am has been boring without you by my side. Always talking, you were. You have probably changed a lot.

Write back to me soon, please.

Love always,

Your dearest sister, Garnet'

Erin smiled slightly. Garnet had taken the time and remembered, unlike her mother. She sighed, the grabbed the pens. Her two favorite colors, Red, and a deep shade of blue.

Now, Erin had gotten quite used to blue, yet she still liked it. Celes looked at Erin, then at the door. She had heard something.

"Who's there?!" she asked, opening the door.

Kefka stood there and looked around. He saw Erin then laughed to himself. Erin looked over at him and saw him laughing.

"Why, it seems the princess has awaken. Best go about your training, now," he stated, "Now, Erin, I suggest you heal fast, as you'll be having visitors in one week."

He walked away, and Celes closed the door. Erin looked at her and she started crying. Celes walked over to her, sighed, and then looked at the door, as if everything would magically go back to normal.

The door started to open again and both of them looked up. Terra walked in, then smiled.

"Erin, you're awake," said Terra, looking at her

"Yeah," replied Erin.

Terra sat down in the last un-occupied chair, seeing as Celes and Erin were in the others. They just sat there for minutes, not saying anything. Erin was still crying but silently. She could hardly move without opening up a scar yet she was still being required to train. The scars showed very well on her arms, and legs.

Erin went and felt one of the ones on her neck then wiped away a tear from her cheek. She stood up, looked around, and then looked at Celes and Terra.

"I guess we best get training then," Erin suggested, still looking at the two.

"Yeah, but what about.." Celes started, looking up at Erin.

"Don't worry about it. I'll be fine. I don't know much about my real family, but I have a feeling that we are very strong fighters and magic users," explained Erin, finishing Celes' sentence.

Celes looked at her, worried, but Erin gave a confident smile. The two stood up, and then walked out of the room, with Erin following closely behind. An almost unreal silence followed that.

"Erin, you mentioned magic. You can use it?" asked Terra, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, but not that much. It's mainly white magic, you know, Cure, Life. Those spells," explained Erin, catching up with Terra.

Again, Celes looked at her. They had never received a healer before. This would be something nice. But they would have to teach her some other magic. Some more, well, more harmful spells.
