Cloud laid uncomfortably where he had been for almost two days…He looked at his surroundings, and discovered he was in an opening in the middle of the forest.
Great.He thought,NOBODY is going to be able to find me here.
He then remembered he had a cellphone in his bike seat. He looked around, not seeing it anywhere. Tired, hungry,and dehydrated, he laid his head back down, looking up and being startled.
His motorcycle was in a tree.
Ok, God REALLY doesn't like me… He thought angrily.
He tried again to move his legs, but they felt glued to the ground.
" HEEEEELP! TIIIFA!!! ANYOOONE!?" He shouted, his voice crackling from lack of moisture. Cloud's voice echoed endlessly up the cliff wall.
Now, he knew, he would never survive.

" Cloud!"
" CLOUD!"
" STRIFE! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
" DINGBAT!"
They all stared at Cid.
" Just tryin' to lighten up the mood." He grumbled.
Tifa was the most worried one. She knew he was either hurt or lost; and she was leaning towards being hurt, because he would have called them by now.
Vincent turned into Galian Beast, and ran at high speeds down the cliffs, occasionally stopping and sniffing for Cloud's scent.
They searched and searched until long after dark, when they were tired, hungry, and couldn't yell anymore.
Sadly, everyone went home, except Tifa and Vincent. Tifa wasn't about to let her friend and secret crush die, and Vincent could see in the dark.
Together, they both scaled down the cliff

Cloud could hear voices coming down the cliff side, and he tried to yell out, butshrank back in pain, as fresh blood came out of his mouth. His body was taking desperate measurers to save him from death. One of those was to draw oxygen and water from his blood.
The voices were closer , as he could hear the shuffling feet, and what sounded like a large dog.
He moved his arms around, hoping they would see the motion, as again he tried to yell, but all that came out was a wheeze.
The footsteps were SO close, he was sure he was going to be rescued. Then, without warning, they turned back around and faded away.
His heartbeat quickened; he had to get them back to where he was, he knew that he was going to be dead within a day. He slowly sat up, hissing in pain, then waved his arms around, which were snapping.
But the footsteps were long gone.
He crumpled back to the ground, on the verge of tears, but knew he shouldn't weep, because that would only make him pass away quicker.

Tifa sat in her own bedroom, silently weeping.
She held a photo of her, Aeris, and Cloud, that was taken none too long ago, and she had felt so loved and happy then.
Aeris was like a sister to her, but the memories of her holding the dead Aeris in her arms, made her cry twice as hard. Now she had lost both of them, and felt more lonesome then she ever had before. She rolled over onto her side a few minutes, later, tears still pouring down her face. She was still as so when Vincent came into her room, hearing her sobbing. He sat down next to her, telling her everything was alright, he was still alive out there, and they would find him soon. She listened quietly, as he told stories of him and Lucrecia, even though she knew it hurt him when he talked about it. She felt his hand stroking her hair, as he told of the time when he had been resting in the grass, as she stood over him, telling him to not sleep on the job, and giggling when he flustered and tried to lie. Tifa was slowly closing her eyes, him stroking her hair had calmed her down, and she drifted off into a half sleep, as she mumbled thanks, as the darkness took over her mind, ad his voice turned into tinkling bells…
Tifa… I know you can hear me…
Tifa turned around, seeing nobody. Looking everywhere, she decided it was nothing. Turning back around, she gasped and almost choked in surprise as she saw the rotting, dripping wet Aeris with crusted blood still on her dress.
Tifa…I know where Cloud is…
Her blood ran cold at the sight of the dead woman, and flashbacks ran through her head when she held her, dead in her arms.
Tifa…Go back to where you were…Hurry…You don't want him to end up like me,do you?
With that Aeris turned back around, walking off. When she was completely sure she was gone, Tifa turned back around, screaming her head off, at the skeleton right in front of her.
I KNOW WHO MURDERED ME TIFA LOCKHART! AND IT ISN'T WHO YOU WOULD SUSPECT! It yelled in a raspy voice, fire surrounding it, as it eerily smiled, then dissipated into the ground. She sighed in relief, about to walk off, when the skeletal arm shot out of the ground, grasping her leg, and dragged her towards a hole.
She screamed louder then she ever thought she could, kicking at the hand, but it wouldn't let go, and she screamed even louder when she was dragged over the side.

Tifa woke up screaming, as the whole crew came into the room. She then realized she was in cold sweat, and breathing hard.
" I-I…Know where Cloud is." She barely breathed out, as she rushed to the front door.
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Hey, I know, I know. This probably sucks.
But this does raise the question: If it wasn't he Clones who killed aeris, who did?
Please review, and if you think you have a clue, then go ahead and guess!
But its someone you would never expect….
And the reason Cloud is able to see know is because the sun made the blood sort of melt off his face and his eyes...Yeah..
