So I know I should be focusing on one story at a time but this one has literally been in my dreams/daydreams for months now and if I don't type it out I might just go mad.

Basically I've always wanted to do a storyline with hybrids because they are epic. Might end up doing Mpreg dunno yet will cross that road when I get to it, and just to keep the story flowing without a whole bunch of introductions going to go ahead and do main character animal description.

Cloud, a young leopard is haunted by nightmares that he doesn't understand and one his nightmares comes to life as he sees one passing on the street. To Squall it is all about finding the prophesized one, the one descended to save the world from the deranged Sephiroth and his meteor. Will Squall find whom he is looking for, will Cloud be saved from himself?

Cloud: Clouded leopard (tehe)
Squall: Lion
Axel: Red Wolf
Sora/Roxas: tabby cat
Vincent: Harpy Eagle
Zach: Dog
Yuffie: Monkey.

Brewing Storms

Falling… So simple yet so terrifying. The way the wind pulls at your skin, ripping the haris from their comfort spots as they billow helplessly into nothingness.

Every night I feel this, my thoughts, my fears, and even my dreams. My mind doesn't get a break from its relenting horror. Every night the same reoccurring nightmare, I'm standing on the edge of a cliff safe from the edge enjoying the simplicity of the scenery. Then out of nowhere a red wolf appears behind me, fire dancing in the breeze lapping at the beast's fur but not burning. Dark black blood dripping from the beasts eyes wetting the ground beneath it, it's acid green eyes binding me in place, deafening my ears and strangulating my lungs. Why do I fear this beast if I know it is simply a dream? A figment of my overactive imagination damaged from years of war and pain?

Then suddenly the beast lunges forward knocking me down the cliff and the only thing I can do is stare up at the storm grey sky, clouds in a gentle slash (\), the wind pulling at my hears causing them to lay lie in my blond spikes and tearing what little air I had left in my lungs. Yet just as I'm about to embrace my oncoming destruction, freedom from this never ending hell…

Cloud awoke with a start, a slick sheen of sweat waxing his body and baby blues blown wide as he sucked at the air with an animalistic vigor desperate to extinguish the fire burning in his lungs.

~ beep beep beep beep ~

'Every single night…' Cloud thought before heaching back and slamming his hand to silence the clock, running a hand through his hair to scratch gently at the back of his speckled catlike ears. Sighing he stood from his bed tail gently wrapping around his leg and walked over to the bathroom, placing both hands on the sink he slowly looked at his image in the dirtied mirror. His usually spiky hair was slicked around from his frustrations in bed, clear indents of where his head rested against the pillows; his eyes were still blown wide, fear still present in the deep blue crystals. Bringing a shaky hand to his head he pushed roughly against his eye, bringing on the storm of fireworks, whites and grey exploded his vision from the pressure of the limb. Sighing he faced to the shower turning on only the hot and watching as the steam gradually smothered his reflection.

"Cloud are you alright?" Vincent questioned, crimson eyes raking over the smaller mans form stopping just short of Cloud's waist sternly starring at the clinched fists at his sides a gentle drip of blood falling from the trembling man.

"Yyeah," Cloud mumbled looking over at his friend whose long raven hair danced in the wind giving off a feathery appearance. 'It haunts me even when I'm awake' sighing Cloud roughly shook his head spikes bouncing around as he attempted to shake the ripping fear of the hound…Of the wind from his troubled thoughts.

"Lying to me is pointless" Vincent sighed pulling his arms in front of his chest golden taloned hand clinking against his neck piece. "You're still dreaming aren't you?" Cloud stiffened tail curling twitching slightly and ears lying flat against his head. "How long?"

Glancing beyond Vincent Cloud watched the street… 'Robots… monotonous…' His eyes jolted to a stop at a trio, two red heads and a brunette standing out from the crowd as if the wind itself outlined their bodies. His eyes stayed trained on the redhead in the center long red wolf-like tail swaying back and forth as he stepped, blood red hair that spiked up in all directions camouflaging his ears within its mess. The hair swayed in the wind… as if… as it it were… Cloud drew in a shaky breath the wolf flashing through his mind as he ran forward fear raking his body.'

As if it were on fire.

Vincent jumped forward in attempt to catch his fleeing friend "O-OI CLOUD!"

But it was no use, the fire was burning at his side as Cloud propelled himself forward sheer determination clawing at his mind to catch up on this wolf… man. As he neared the trio he reached out, clawed hand roughly gripping at the hoodie jacket of the center redhead, roughly turning themand to face the fear drenched crystal blue eyes.

Cloud stilled as acid green eyes tore into him not noticing as the man flung him off tossing him tward the street. His ears were ringing and pulse pounding in his ears as he stumbled into the busy street mind wandering back to those eyes… the acid… the fire… the fear. 'Am I falling again?' As he fell his eyes turned to the car, ignoring the oncoming car, he watched the bright blue sky. 'Blue? Isn't it usually?' With a start Cloud was ripped from the street and pulled into the arms of a stranger. Trembling he looked up into his savior's eyes before stiffening 'NO!' His mind shouted staring at the eyes… The storm grey eyes with a painful scar across the bridge of the nose. Whimpering Cloud deflated before his world turned to darkness.

I have chapter 2 all ready to post just going to wait to see if people even like this story. R&R =D
