Chapter 1 (If she were alive)
Hello everyone my names Laila (aka Aeris to most of my mates, teens are so cruel lol)
This was my first fan-fiction on FFVII and I hope it won't be the last. As you will soon find out I am a very fond fan of Aeris, Sephiroth and Cloud, so the story is based on them.
I do hope you all review and like this story, also this story will have changed a little from when I pasted it on My name on that is Angel Aeris.
Well I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 1.
She kneeled there, unaware of his presence, praying. For what? He smirked. To the planet? To an unknown God? He wanted to laugh out right, but that would spoil everything. And that would not please mother. No, that wouldn't please her at all, so he leapt down ready to impale the young woman.
Aeris felt the presence before it happened upon her, the cold wind that flew close at the nape of her neck gave her an uneasy feel, its going to happen and its going to happen NOW! She had merely a split second to save her life. Without even reacting she flung her arm out with her staff to block the offending sword piercing her heart. The shock on the White haired angel surprised her. Had he not thought she could defend her-self? She had made it this far. Did he really think she was such a dainty thing, but then a pang of guilt assailed her, she had changed fate. She should not be alive now, but the fear of death had moved her into action against her attacker. Her eyes swan with un-shed tears and her body began to shiver with fright, she had done what no other Cetra had ever done, and she had turned her back on her fate.
Pleas forgive me... I'm sorry...
Sephiroth stared at the green eyed ancient and he scolded himself. He had been careless; he should have struck five minutes earlier. In stead he had studied her praying kneeled form, the way her back was proudly straight, as if she had nothing to fear. Foolish is what it was, kneeling openly but then again had she expected this? Had she waited until this moment to lure him here? Maybe this child wasn't as helpless as he thought and maybe he had better start thinking on how he would rectify his mistake. Mother... Most definately will have something to say on the matter.
Cloud had stopped at mid step as he saw Aeris block off Sephiroth, his surprise was openly viewed. Tifa and Barret stood by him and saw the two locked in what seemed to be a face off, of shock. Aeris had not moved from her defensive pose, but her body seemed to be a little off, maybe it was because she looked so frightened, but she didn't let up for even one second wary that if she did she wouldn't survive. Sephiroth still had his sword pressed against her staff. Then slowly Sephiroth drew away from her, and as if on cue she stood up, slowly backing away to stand as close to Cloud as she possibly could. It wasn't that she was afraid of Sephiroth, she was terrified of the fact she had altered time. And maybe a little afraid of Sephiroths reaction, he didn't seem to want to make a move on attacking them and that scared Aeris just a little more. And without even a word or chuckle he disappeared.
Aeris weak from the fear and shocked that she had betrayed the planet had given her cause to slip away into a unconsciousness the holy materia that had been placed so neatly in her hair had pulled free and bounced into the deep sea of blue that whirled round them.
A rather shocked Cloud caught her and held her close hoping to god that she was just sleeping, he didn't want to lose the one person he felt something towards. He had never felt such warmth before had never dreamed of it and yet here such the beauty that she is lying in his arms. Barret who had been watching silently finally decided to break the silence.
"Yo you spiky hair'd & don't just stand there we better get her outta here"
Tifa who had been kneeling down beside him nodded. She wanted to get them all out and fast.
"He's right Cloud; if we stay with Aeris here we'll be attacked."
Cloud understanding nodded. She had already saved hers and their life's no need to get her killed here for nothing. He carried her with the group running as fast as he could. He had to get her back to a village and let her rest and then he would look for Sephiroth again and make sure this time that he wouldn't get away. He vowed long ago that Sephiroth would pay for what he did to his home town. To Tifa... And to his friend, a friend he couldn't remember.
