Tragedy Strikes

No, Not Again

The sun was setting in the city of Edge, the streets were slowly becoming deserted. All that could be heard was the wind whistling and the sound of an engine running. A bike was speeding through the streets towards a bar, it's rider was a tall blond dressed in dark clothes. As he slowly reached his destination. Pulling to a stop, the rider kicked the stand of his bike down and dismounted. Wind blew past him, strands of hair whipping past his face .He made his way towards a shabby-looking building with a sign labeled "7th Heaven" posted above the door. His right hand reached towards the sliver door handle and turned it, warm air rushing into his face. As he takes a step into the building he was greeted by warm arms. The owners were a boy with brown shaggy hair and blue eyes, and a girl with brown braided hair and brown eyes.

"Welcome home Cloud," they both said in unison.

"Hi, Denzel and Marlene," Cloud replied, "how are you?"

"We've had a great day," Marlene answered.

"Yeah, we had a fun time, but we missed you," Denzel added.

"Sorry Denzel, how about I take tomorrow off?" Cloud asked reveling two presents to the children. " I also bought you this."

Denzel and Marlene both took one presents each. Denzels present was long and skinny, Marlene's present was a rectangular shape. They both opened the box and found a toy sword and a doll.

"Thanks Cloud," Denzel said swinging his new sword. "Can you show me how to use it?"

"Sure I'll show you how to use a sword," Cloud replied ruffling his hair.

"Thank you so much Cloud," Marlene said hugging Cloud.

"No problem Marlene," Cloud replied placing her down, " Why won't you two play with your new toys in your room."

"Sure," they both said in unison before running towards their rooms.

His azure eyes searched the bar and found her, her chocolate brown hair and her wine colored eyes. He walked around the bar, heading towards her. She turned around and smiled, " Welcome back Cloud."

"Hey Tifa, "he said stopping in front of her.

"Hi Cloud," she said leaning on the counter. "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah I am," Cloud replied.

Tifa goes into the kitchen to heat up the food, when she came back she asked, "So what did you give them?"

"What do you mean, I didn't give them anything," Cloud replied walking over to the other side of the counter and started eating.

"Come on Cloud, I saw you give them something," she said now staring at he's deep blue eyes.

"Oh , no don't look, don't look into those eyes," Cloud thought as he tried to pry his eyes from looking into hers, but there was no use something about those eyes those wine eyes were so irresistible.

"Ok, ok I just gave them Marlene a doll and Denzel a sword," he said muttering the last word.

"Oh ok," Tifa said. "Wait, did you just you say you gave Denzel a sword?"

"Yeah," he replied playing with his food. "Wait did I forget to tell her that it's only a toy? Great now she'll get all worried."

"Cloud, why the hell did you do that for? Do you know what he might do with it?" she asked, now yelling at him.

"Oh great she's worried, but she dose look cute when she's worried, wait since when did I think she was cute? I haven't thought of her like that since I was a kid, I mean I'm in love with Aerith right? But then again I did love Tifa. I still do love Tifa right? But she desevers someone better than me. What if she gets hurt and it was because of me? I don't want anything to happen to her. I don't want her to get hurt. Maybe I should……" "Cloud, are you even listening to me?" Tifa asked, breaking his thoughts. "He can cut something."

"Teef……." he tried but was cut off. "Cloud don't you get it he can hurt someone!"

"Tifa, I would never give Denzel a real sword," he started but was interrupted again.

"He can kill himself with a sword…. Wait it's not real?" she asked coking her head.

"Yeah, I gave him a toy sword." he stated. "I forgot to mention that."

"Cloud how could you forget to mention," she said, punching him in the arm.

He winced because of the pain, "Ouch, she punches hard."

"Sorry Teef," Cloud said looking at the ground, holding his left arm.

"It's ok Cloud," she said staring at him.

"Umm, it's getting late," he started, staring into her wine colored eyes. "Umm… Goodnight Teef."

"Goodnight Cloud," she said, watching him walk away.

"Oh, Tifa I'm going to take the day off tomorrow," he said smiling before heading up the stairs.

"Ok, Cloud," Tifa said as she watched him walk up the stairs. "That smile, he has one of the most beautiful smiles. Why can't I tell him? I have to tell him how much I care. I'll tell him soon, maybe tomorrow," she thought, as she continued to clean up.

"No, not again." A tall blond draped in dark clothes stood in what looks like a angelic white room. His squinting azure eyes darting, in the endless white. A firm but gentle voice breaks the deathening silence of the blinding atmosphere.

"Cloud," it called. "Cloud were are you?"

He finds himself falling, falling into any endless void. Everything around him was pitch black, everything was silent. "Cloud," it called again. "Cloud where are you? Why aren't you here?"

The voice disappeared but was soon replaced by a scream.

Cloud awoke and found himself in his bed breathing heavily. "No not again, not an other nightmare about her."
