part eight

The walk thorught the forest was quick and they reached the inner forest that lead to the Forgoten City,when they got to the inner part of the forest.
Hiro could see the Forgoten City clearly now."Let's go......"He started to say then stoped.Shaking his head.
"You ok?"Tifa asked running to him.
Hiro looked up."Uh yeah,I'm ok."Then looking at the city below as if he didn't know what he was doing,Hiro closed his eyes and shook his head."Yes let's go."He raced down the stairs at a break neck speed.
"You'll break your neck!"Tifa called out to him.
Jean looked at her."I agree."
Hiro yelled back."No time to argue.Aeris is in trouble remember?"
They agreed and started down the stairs.
Hiro was down the stairs and heading to the small path that lead to the city itself.
That's where he stoped and waited for them.When they got there Hiro got up.
"Well let's go."He said taking two steps toward the path,then stoped holding his head."Uhhhhh.........."Hiro collasped to the ground.
"HIRO!"Tifa screamed."What's wrong?"She ran to his side.
Hiro lay there."No....I can't..hu....plea.....Don't make me.....No.Sephiroth, DON'T!"Hiro screamed.
"Sephiroth!"Lemina gasped."Why is he talking to Sephiroth?"
Ronfar looked at her ,then."I got it.You remember that day Hiro dissappeared?"
"Yeah."The three girls replied.
"Sephiroth must of done something to Hiro.That's why he's been acting like he did."
Tifa looked down sadly."He's was under Sephiroth's control all that time."
Jean looked at their fallen companion."How do we help him?"
"I don't know."Tifa replied then Leo walked up.
"Allow me."He said knealing next to Hiro.Then punching him on the arm as hard as he could.
"OW!"Hiro said sitting up."What was that for Leo?"
"To wake you up."Leo said standing then holding out his hand."Shall we go?"
Hiro shook some then."Yes."He said with grim determination."Let's go."His eyes shone a little brighter.
They walked the small path to the inner city. There the path split into three roads.
"Which way now?"
Hiro stoped at the intersection,and held his hand to his head."He's in there."Hiro pointed to the middle road."I can't go on.He's going to overpower me."
Tifa leaned over and whispered to Jean."Your ribbon.Give it to Hiro."
Jean nodded and took off the ribbon and walked over to Hiro."Take this or I will hurt you."She said tying it around Hiro's wrist.
Hiro nodded and then his face brightened."He can't get through.He can't control me!"
The others smiled.
Leo walked over to him."Shall we go?"
Hiro looked at him."Let's"
