1. Prologue: 5 years ago-
Nibelheim was a small town in the mountain countryside. It was nested right under the great mountains of Mt. Nibel. It was a quaint and small little town full of kind people. Everyone lived peaceful lives, until one day, people from Shinra came. Two First Class soldiers, one the well known General Sephiroth. Everyone was actually quite ecstatic to see such famous person come to such a little quiet town like Nibelheim. Everyone was always talking about him while in the town, saying how amazing and great he was. But unlike everyone else, I didn't really care about that. My best friend left town a few years earlier to go and join SOLDIER. He wanted to be as great as the general himself. I had hoped that maybe he had come along with the two first classes, but I didn't find him at all. But I met someone who looked a lot like him. Only, he had black hair that wasn't exactly as spiky and blonde.
He had eyes that were like the color of the sky. He was a big flirt too! He was the other first class soldier that had come along with the general, along with two grunts. I don't remember his name, but he was a really good guy. Shinra had sent them to Nibelheim to go up in Mt. Nibel to check up on the Mako reactor. Lately, monsters had been appearing, coming down from the mountain, and scaring pretty much everybody. Even I had been attacked, but I was unharmed because I knew how to use a sword and fight with martial arts.
Anyway, after they went up to check on the reactor, and had come back down, something was wrong with Sephiroth. He seemed…sad and confused, mixed with a bit of anger too. He then went and stayed inside the basement of the old Shinra mansion. All the townspeople were beginning to grow a bit nervous, along with frightened. They got the other soldier to go inside and check on him to see what was wrong with him. He told everyone that Sephiroth was just having a bit of a hard time with something, and for no one to worry.
They remained in the mansion for 7 days straight. And it wasn't until that 7th day, that all hell broke loose. The great General Sephiroth went mad. He set the town on fire, and killed everyone. He broke down the doors of peoples houses, and went inside and killed them. He came to my house, and my mom…she pushed me out the backdoor, and told me to run, and to not turn back. My mom was a Chocobo breeder, and we had several of our own. I hopped onto one with my sword and all, along with several belongings that I had packed for a trip that I had been planning to go on a few days later. Just as I was riding away, saw Sephiroth's sword go through my own mother.
From then on, I hated Shinra and SOLDIER. I don't how long I had been riding, but I remember that I never stopped. I probably had been riding for days on, until I passed out from exhaustion, and fell off the Chocobo. I remember waking up in a town called Gongaga, in a house of a kind couple who had found me and taken me in. After a few days, I got my strength back, and left.
I was going to live in the city of Midgar. I didn't want to think about Nibelheim. I wanted to get the countryside scenery out of my head. I wanted to surround myself with city people. But most of all, I just wanted to forget everything that had happened.
A/N: NOOO! I swore I wasn't going to publish anything else until I had something else finished! I'm sorry, I couldn't help it! But I really need a change of scenery. I am stuck on the Untold Story, because I cant think of anything to write in to give time before I start up with the DoC plot in the story. So, this is going to be a Cloud and OC story, and I wanna know what you guys think so far! Oh, and if you can, someone think of titles for this story, because I am fresh out! So, if you have a good title in mind for this story, put it in a review, and if I choose your title, you will be recognized! Ok, LATER TATERS!
