Midgar's Disease

Chapter 2

Cloud turned to the door after hearing the scream he turned to Zack who had already taken the first aid kit and started to dress his wound. Cloud ran out the office to see what had been going on. Cloud seen sephiroth holding Aerith crying and the front door had been locked.

"What happened!"

Sephiroth turned to cloud and handed aerith to tifa to caim her down. Sephiroth pulled cloud away from the small crowd around aerith.

"she was attacked cloud."

Cloud took a step back from sephiroth and gave a quick glance to aerith then gave his attention to sephiroth to explain.

"I don't know all the details cloud all I know is she was walking with Elena and then Elena tried to bit her and she was strangling her."

Cloud froze. It was the same of what Zack said about his mother one minute she was fine then the next she was trying to kill him. Cloud looked round and out the windows in the front door. He couldn't see anything but some street lights. The sun had already set so Cloud couldn't see very far past the street lights. He couldn't also see were Elena went to.

" She ran off after she was shut out" sephiroth said firmly.

Everyone turn as the managers office opened and relaxed to see Zack come out. Zack gave everyone a small smile and walked towards the till to put the first aid box back in it's place. He turned to everyone with a questioning face on why aerith is crying. Sephiroth opened his mouth to say something when all the lights flicked off. Everyone was turning and backing towards the counter. Aerith walked towards the cameras. None of them would switch on, they had switched off the power.

" Damn basters swiched off the power" sephiroth hissed.

Zack looked around and then stared at sephiroth for some answers. He sighed and sat on the counter and explained everything to Zack and everyone who wasn't there. Cloud looked around and saw the whole group was there. Himself, Zack, Sephiroth, Aerith, Tifa, Barret, Cid, Yuffie, Vincent, Reno and Rude. Sephiroth explained that they will split into 4 groups of two and one group of 3. Everyone picked there parters and split going round the shop looking for torches and anything with light. Cloud and Zack had went together the rest of the groups were Aerith, Sephiroth, Tifa. Barret and Cid. Yuffie and Vincent. And Reno and Rude had went together. Cloud and Zack went into the back of the Shop to see what was in a storage room. Cloud looked at Zack then at his bandaged arm.

"Are we going to tell them about..." Cloud said quietly

Zack looked at Cloud in the eye and scrached the back of his head.

" I don't think it would be wise at this persise moment cloud. Everyone is worrying about other stuff and I don't really want them to have another thing to worry about."

Cloud and Zack felt the walls as in the back of the store there was no lighting at all. They both paused when they heard a moaning sound coming from the storage door. They both backed away and started to think about heading back. A bang came from the door and both of them ran back the way they came. As they approached the middle of the shop again where there was the only light they saw Reno and Rude with some torches.

"Hey Cloud, Zack...Any luck finding anything?" Rude said quietly

Both Zack and Cloud shook there both didn't want to say they didn't even look. Some time had past and everyone was back in the middle of the shop. Aerith and Tifa had found a radio. Sephiroth split from them to find some more stuff and still hadn't returned. Barret and Cid had found Candles and a lighter. Yuffie and Vincent found water and some food that will do them for a day or two. Everyone waited for sephiroth for an hour before people started to part to look for him. Reno and Zack where the only ones that stayed to keep the items safe. Reno looked at Zack then at the front doors.

"What .. do you think they are Zack?"

Zack looked down at his arm then back at Reno. A flash of his mother came to his mind

"there just us reno..."

"they can't be Zack. I saw Elena attack Aerith! She was like a monster! She tried to kill her!"

Zack looked away from Reno. He didn't wanted to be reminded of what happened back at his house. A Screaming of a man could be heard from outside the door. Zack lifted himslef up on his non-injured arm. He ran towards the door and had a look outside. Reno wasn't that far behind him. They were both shaking. Rufus smacked into the glass of the door and was screaming for Zack and Reno jumped back at the sudden smack of the glass. Zack and reno opened the door as quickly as posible and dragged Rufas in and locked the door. Reno dragged Rufus away from the door. Zack continued to look out the window. He saw Elena and a Man smile at him and then they dissapered.
