Hello! I know, I know. I keep coming up with new stories before I'm even finished with one. I don't know why. I'm convinced I either have or am developing ADD with the way my focus keeps shifting. That and I'm always getting up and pacing my room every five to ten minutes when I sit down to watch TV or listen to music.

But don't worry! I have a couple of places in some of my other stories I want to reach first before I really get into making this story. So I WILL update those in the meantime (after all, some parts of this story are still a bit rough when I'm thinking them out).

Besides, this is the first time I have a story with a prologue, and I want to know what you guys think of it and if you want more of this story. I know that prologues don't offer much, but I would like to know if you guys are with me on this. I swear I DO have a plan on how to get here where the prologue starts. And I think it's good, but I would like to know if I have some support for starting this story.

I know there are a lot of FF7 fans out there, and I want to know if you guys want me to go through with this story.

In other words, reviews telling me your thoughts are needed. I know that this is just the prologue, but still, support for this story will give me motivation to update as soon as possible. So please leave a review. It doesn't have to be a novel or anything. Just something to let me know you guys want this story.

Well, here is the prologue.

Disclaimer: I do not own FF7, especially characters, places, etc. I do own my OC, whose name will be revealed later in the story (I have a habit of doing this, don't I?).

Prologue

Okay, she was pretty sure that she was alone now. Finally, she could take a break. A very short break, but it was still a break.

Of course, being slumped against a building holding onto her bleeding side and listening for every little sound and watching for even the tiniest bit of movement wasn't exactly her idea of a break.

Now, how did someone like her get into a situation like this?

She knew that this whole mess had actually started a long time ago, but still, HOW did it happen to HER?

She was a complete nobody. And she was just fine with that. Yeah, life wasn't exactly ideal, but it was good and she didn't have any complaints that she wasn't able to live with. But, then again, who didn't have a complaint about something in their life. But, that wasn't the point.

The point was WHY was she here?

She didn't have the answer for that, but, looking back on the events that led her up to this moment, she couldn't say that she actually had a whole lot of regrets. Yeah, there were moments that she wished she could redo, but hey, that was life for ya.

In fact, if she was given the opportunity to relive her life, she would probably do the same thing all over again…with one exception: stab Hojo's face in with a rusty spoon, at least.

She shouldn't have to try to justify that one. The man was PURE EVIL! And she knew several people who would agree (and help her with) on that one.

She jumped as she heard something scuffle nearby. She looked up to see some children walking by, not seeing her leaning against the building. She smiled as she remembered them.

However, she groaned as she realized just how much farther she still had to go before she was in the clear.

Reluctantly, after making sure she was safe for the moment, she pushed herself off of the wall and started making her way to her destination.

…

There was no way to tell just how much time had passed here. All she knew was that she was taking a long time and that she didn't really have any time to waste at all.

She had FINALLY made it to Wutai, where one of her adventures began when she met her friends. The down side: she still wasn't halfway to where she needed to be.

But, she had to keep going. She had people waiting for her. Some of them were depending on her to come back. She couldn't waste time here! Nor could she afford to die here!

She looked to the side as she saw a group of familiar looking people passing by. She smiled as she saw her friends having a somewhat normal day (at least what she assumed to be normal for them).

She wished that they could help her, but they couldn't. No one could help her here. She had to do this by herself. If she failed, then she was simply too weak for her friends.

She took a moment to think about what her friends might be up to at that moment. Were they worried about her? Did they have faith in her ability to pull through? She hoped so; otherwise she would have to remind them just who they were talking about here.

Then, the face of one friend in particular interrupted her thoughts and she started walking with renewed determination.

She had to make it. She had to pull through. If she didn't, then there was no other choice. If she didn't make it, she would have to have faith in her friends. Faith that they would do what needed to be done if it came to the worst case scenario.

She walked over a bridge and turned a corner in the direction she knew she needed to head.

That was when she froze, terror clear on her face and heart beating frantically at the sight.

Those eyes, there was no mistaking those eyes.

Shit, shit, shit! When did he head her off? She could have sworn that she had left him behind a while back.

He smirked.

"Looks like I've found you."

Well, what do you think? Do you want more?

I know it's short, but it's just a prologue. I plan on making the regular chapters much longer than this.

Leave a review saying you want more and I will update this story. And don't worry; I will update my other stories like "Nameless" and "Vessel" as well. I just want opinions about how this story looks to you so far.

Well, until next time!
