Thank you for the review. This chapter will try to who Tira is, what she's doing here, and all that lovely stuff…

Tira didn't stop once to try and figure out where she was running. She had been taking random doors, hallways, and sets of stairs as she ran. Only the thought of Reno finding her and killing her at the spot filled her mind. Since, that thing, bit her, did that mean she was now infected? Or 'tainted' as he put it? She didn't want to think about it right now.

As Tira ran, she thought back to why she was here in the first place. Life was normal for her. Her father died after she was born, so she lived with her mom and her brother. That was, till her brother left to work for Shinra as a SOLDIER.

A few years passed before Shinra came to town on a mission with the Mako reactor. She wanted to surprise her brother Cloud, so she hid in the mansion and waited all day. Instead of surprising Cloud, another man came in around the same age. Next things she knew, she was being pulled out of the mansion. Blah, blah, blah- I'm not good at explaining things… She saw her whole town was burned down, no one in sight, and then she left her home, left her town, with no destination in mind. After passing a few unknown cities, she ended up in this one, where she was then chased into this hospital. And then she met Reno…

Flashbacks were cut short when someone spoke. "There you are..." At the voice, Tira jumped. She then felt a slight pain on her previous wound and someone holding her. "Hey now, don't move." It said calmly as Tira tried to push away. It finally let go causing Tira to stumble forward a bit. "Not too keen on shots, now are we?"

Turning around, Tira recognized the voice belonged to Reno. He was giving her a smile while holding some sort of device with multiple needles on it. "What was in that?"

"Had to give you the vaccine." Reno said like it was plain and simple. "Didn't want you turning into some bizarre, maniac slaughterer who wants to eat brains and drink blood. Well, not while I was still in the building."

"Wow… I don't know if I should think of you as considerate or just plain self-centered." Tira took off her trench coat and examined her injury.

"So what's a little girl like you doing in a place like this?" Reno asked reloading his gun.

Tira crossed her arms. "That's confidential business. You?"

"Confidential business." Reno said in a mocking tone and crossing his arms in addition.

"Well, if that's how you're going to be!" Tira said in a different tone of voice. It sounded more childish and frenzied. Way different from the Tira Reno had met, but he decided to stay quiet. "So what do you plan on doing now?" she asked.

"Try to survive till my squad finds me."

"What? That's no plan, no, no, no!" Tira shouted like a child, stomping on her 'no's.

"Can I ask you something?" Reno watched as Tira stopped jumping and sat down.

"Go on."

"Do you have MPD?"

"M-P-D?" Tira slowly repeated.

"Multiple Personality Disorder."

Tira shook her head. "Nope!"

"I see… So what were you going to do? Just waltz out of here and do a little Laura Croft thing by shooting off those zombie things in a graceful catwalk?"

"No- I was gonna tango out of here and do a little mix of Mortal Combat and Resident Evil while running on the wall and maybe even the ceiling. Matrix… Heheh…"

Reno laughed slightly at the juvenile performance. "I still don't know your name."

"Is that so? Aww, such a shame…" Tira joked.

"Well, why don't you tell me?"

"I'll let you guess." Tira had said playfully before sitting up again.

"Julie."

"No."

"Sarah? Karin, Anna, Alice, Amy, Michelle, Megan, Brittany? Phoebe?"

"Phoebe?" Tira said in a weird way while coking her head to the side.

"I'll give you candy if you tell." Reno bribed as he searched threw his pockets. He finally started pulling his hand out of his coat, but instead of candy, he pulled out a gun, and shot towards Tira. A body dropped behind her, dead. "Whew, close one there…" Reno said with a sigh.

Review please.
