After I showered and ate dinner I trudged back to my room. I was about to flop on my bed but i saw Cloud sitting on the edge of my bed so i decided I'd better sit on the chair in the corner. "How did you know I have the Stigma and which arm it's on?" he asked me. "Did Tifa tell you how we got here?" I asked. "Yes, so that's how isn't it?" he asked. "Yeah." I whispered. He motioned for me to come sit next to him, and I did. "Can I see your sword?" he asked. "Yeah." I handed it to him still in it's sheath so I wouldn't poke his eye out. "Looks exactly like Kadaj's." he whispered. "That's because it is." I told him. He looked at me and gave me the look of "yeah right." "Well, I got it off of a website back in my world called eBay." I explained. "So it's a replica?" he asked. "Yeah." I answered. He sheathed it and gave it back to me. "You should get some rest." he told me as he got up to leave. "Good night Cloud." I told him. "Good night Korinne." he said as he walked to his room. I fell asleep in a nightgown Tifa gave me and woke up with the sun shining through my window. At the end of the bed there was a stack of clothes, one pair was mine, the other was a set Tifa gave me. I pulled on the top she gave me, which was basically a white tank top. I pulled on the black t-shirt she also layed out. I put my skinnies socks, and boots and headed downstairs. I only found Cloud sitting at the table. He looked up and smiled at me, "Good morning, sleep well?" he asked. "Yeah, where's Tifa, Holly, Marlene, and Rachel?" I asked as I sat down where Tifa had set a plate full of food apparently for me since my name was a giant piece of paper next to it. "They went to the church." he told me. I choked on a bite of toast. "They WHAT?" I yelled. "Great, I'm just going to assume something bad happens to them." he asked as he grabbed the keys to his fenrir. "Right on, let's go." We ran outside and got on. We were there in a matter of minutes but I knew we were too late. "TIFA!" I yelled as I ran towards the door. I opened it and ran toward the flowers. Tifa was lying there knocked out cold. "Damn it!"I hissed knowing that Loz had taken Marlene and my friends. "Cloud came in behind me. "We need to get her out of here." he told me. We were able to grab her arms and legs so we wouldn't have to step in the flowers. Cloud said it was bad luck or something. I asked Cloud if I could go look for Marlene and my friends since I knew where they were and he said yes and tossed me the keys to his fenrir. I reached the Forgotten City just as the sun went down. I heard Kadaj's voice and followed. I saw him talking to the kids. Right before he walked into the pond or whatever it was a jumped out from the spot where I had been hiding and ran to Denzel. Denzel and I had met the night before so he knew who I was. "Kadaj let them go." I told him firmly. "No." he replied. "I said, LET THEM GO KADAJ!" Kadaj told Yazoo something and I knew it couldn't be good. Then Kadaj said something to Loz and he let Marlene go. "Marlene, come here." I asked here. She ran to me and into the water until it was almost past her shoulders. "Denzel, go back to Seventh Heaven and tell Cloud to get over here ok, but wait for Marlene." I asked handing him the keys. He nodded and ran away. Then I ran into the water to get Marlene. I picked her up and carried her back to shore and told her to go with Denzel. Then I ran away hoping I wouldn't be followed. I hid in some bushes for about an hour, then I heard the sound of Cloud's fenrir. But, I moved to soon I accidently kicked the bush and then I felt a gloved hand on the back of my neck. "You really shouldn't have moved." Yazoo said mockingly. He pulled me to my feet and dragged me back to Kadaj, by the back of my neck.
