A Twist of Fate

A/N: Disclaimer: I don't own the FF7 characters, Square Enix does. Awesome games, they deserve to be put on a pedestal. Anyways, I was listening to a couple of completely random songs one night, and got an idea. So, I wrote one chapter down.

(I got this chapter idea from Lionel Ritchie's "Cinderella")

Prologue

He was patrolling the woods. It was a boring job, but it had to be done. Seriously, he would rather be fighting the enemy than here. But, no, they had assigned him to a town in the middle of the woods, in the middle of nowhere.

He was about to start whistling when he heard a female voice humming. He stopped abruptly. What in heaven's name would a girl be out here for?

Curiosity got the better side of him. He went to investigate and smiled to himself. His curiosity was going to him into trouble some day. Hopefully not today.

He got to a little clearing in the woods. A small spring was there. A woman too. Young, by the look of her back. That was all he could see, but she had long black hair. He was immediately enchanted. He almost stepped out of hiding when she reached for her towel. She wrapped herself up and turned in his direction. He was speechless when he saw her hazel eyes.

He heard a snap behind him. He veered in the direction that it had come from. Nothing or no one was there. He turned back to where the girl was. She had vanished into thin air.

Crap, thought Zack Fair.
