Chapter 1 Name Calling.

Aerith watched in terror as the SOLDIER was placed on a gurney and rushed through the halls, slamming through swinging doors as they went. She tried to follow them, but a nurse blocked her way, saying something she couldn't hear. She tried to blink and focus and she finally heard what the woman was saying.

"Are you family?"

It took her awhile to respond and she stuttered as she replied, "N…no.. I just…met him…I…I don't even know his name."

She glanced at the nurse and was surprised to see shock written on the woman's face. Frantically, Aerith clutched the woman's arm, asking, "You know him don't you? Please, tell me his name."

The woman responded gently as she pulled her arm from Aerith's death grip. "His name is Zack Fair. He's in SOLDIER 1st class."

Aerith turned away from the nurse, staring at the doors that the man's body had disappeared through. "Zack," she whispered under her breath.

She stood there for some time, right in front of the EMERGENCY doors, not noticing the hustle and bustle around her or that the nurse had disappeared long ago. Later, in a daze, she made her way towards the waiting room. Once there, she collapsed into one of the chairs and promptly fell to sleep.
