awoke to the sunlight on my closed eyelids. I got out of bed and did my usual routine. I grabbed my basket of yellow and white Lilies and walked out the front door. I locked the door and headed down the usual path way. I lived in the slums of Kalm. I greeted the few people that lived here as I walked to the church. It was similar to my sister's church.

I opened the worn wooden church doors to see a man with brown hair and leather clothing.

"Oh, hello" I said in shock but held my smile.

The man turned and I gasped quietly. He was very handsome but his eyes held sadness and were guarded.

"I'm sorry; I did not know someone lived here. I will take my leave" the man's voice was deep and hot.

"No, it's alright. You may stay" I smiled, walking towards my small garden.

The man stood there while I bent over and smiled at the beautiful flowers.

"My name is Sarah" I stood up, facing him.

"Squall" the man nodded

"What a lovely name" I complemented.

Squall remained quiet. I sat on my knees and started to plant the flowers that were in my basket.

"Do you live here?" he asked

"No but I come here often, so it's like my second home" I explained, standing up.

I opened my mouth to speak again but the doors flew open. Two men wearing black armor walked in, eyeing me. I inched closer to Squall in fear. One man was lean and skinny with red cat like eyes and spiky blue hair; the other man was huge with big muscles and yellow cat like eyes and a red Mohawk.

"Give us the girl" the small one ordered Squall.

Squall didn't move.

"Squall, I hire you as my bodyguard" I pleaded Squall.

He looked at me and seemed to be thinking. While he was thinking, the big man charged at me. I screamed in fear and suddenly, he was flying back into the church wall. Squall stood in front of me with his gunblade out. He moved out of his offensive position, standing fully in front of me.

"I suggest you leave" Squall told them in a monotone voice

The men glared at him.

"We'll be back" the small one growled, helping the big one up and they left.

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you. Follow me and I'll pay you" I smiled at him.

We walked out of the church and towards my house.

"What was that?" Squall asked me

I panicked. Should I tell him that I'm an Ancient? That I'm the last one?

"I-I d-don't know" I lied.

Well it was sort of a lie. I didn't know who those men were but I knew why they wanted me in some way.

"You're lying" Squall stated

"Let's take this inside" I said, unlocking the door to my house.

We walked inside; I locked the door and looked for my wallet.

"I didn't know those men but I knew why they wanted me in some way. I am an Ancient…the last one. ShinRa had been after me, some bounty hunters, mostly people who thrust for power want me" I started to explain.

"My sister was one too but she was killed by Sephiroth" I said, opening my wallet.

I turned back to Squall.

"How much do you want?" I asked my hand inside my wallet ready to give him his payment.

"20 gil" he stated.

I nodded, gathering 20 Gil in my hand before taking it out and giving it to him. Suddenly, the air smelled like smoke.

"Do you smell that?" I asked

Squall sniffed the air; his eyes widened a bit.

"Fire" he stated.

I ran past him into my living room to see the two men from earlier setting my house on fire. The small one aimed a gun at me with a sneer on his face.

"Get down!"

Squall tackled me to the ground as the guy pulled the trigger. The window let in air and fire broke out everywhere.

"Come on!"

Squall grabbed my arm and pulled me up with him.

He started running to the kitchen with me dragging behind him. He ran out the back door. The top floor caved in and fell on top of me when I was almost out the door. My hand fell from Squall's. I screamed in utter pain. Squall turned around and sprinted over to me. He lifted up the wood like it was nothing and took me in his arms. I felt very tired and weak.

"Squall I'm tired" I mumbled

"No Sarah, you gotta stay awake for a little bit longer" Squall told me urgently.

I couldn't focus and let darkness take over.
