Chapter Four

Dreaming Again

Amy arrived at her apartment later that evening. She was tired, very tired. A nice warm bath seemed like a great idea right about now. Amy prepared the tub and began to undress. She wrapped a soft towel around her body and went to get the phone. She knew Joy was going to be calling like she always did.

Once the tub was ready, she removed her towel and entered the tub. The warm water felt wonderful against her body. She felt every single pore in her body open and release all the stress and tension she had stored in her body.

"Aww, yeah." Amy said, "This feels great." Amy giggled as she began to wash her body.

Ring!

Amy picked up her phone, checking the C.I.D. making sure it was Joy answered it, "Hey Joy."

"How did you know it was me?"

"I'm psyche. Duh, it's called technology retard." Joy laughed. Amy adjusted herself in the tub. She knew they were going to talk for a while.

"So how was your day?" Joy asked, sounding like she wanted to ask Amy something else.

"Well," Amy began, "except for when Rude and Reno didn't allow me to go to the meeting, everything was okay." Amy lied. Everything did not go okay. In fact everything kind of sucked after that moment. As soon as she reached her desk, some psycho wanted to speak to President Shinra. He was a tall, skinny man, with his long black hair tied in a sloppy ponytail and had on a white lab coat that looked like it had not been washed in years. And the stench was not much help either.

Amy had told him that President Shinra was at a very important meeting, but he just went on about how his life's work was more important than any 'fucking meeting that piece of crap ever attended'. Finally, Rude and Reno escorted the lunatic out. Reno soon returned telling Amy not to tell anyone what just happened. But, why? She just did not understand what was going on anymore. One thing is for sure; seeing that man sent chills down Amy's spine.

"Are you going to tell me what Reno said to you" Amy continued trying to forget that man.

"I would rather not."

"Why not? Was it something dirty?" Amy asked trying to make her friend feel better. "Knowing Reno, I bet it was."

"No, it wasn't," Joy said sounding a little more cheery, "Besides why would Reno say anything dirty to me?"

"Oh, please, he says dirty crap to everyone, including Rude."

Joy laughed. Amy was glad to hear her friend laugh. She seemed to be very frightened all morning.

"Amy, the reason I am calling is to ask you something."

"What?" Amy asked, carefully getting out of the tub.

"Tomorrow is your day off right?"

"Yeah but I very much doubt that's what you wanted to ask me." Amy said playfully.

"Do you think we can met somewhere for breakfast?"

"Sure. Where?" Amy asked, now beginning to dry her legs. "Not Jake's again, I hope."

"No." Joy replied, "How about The Heaven?"

"The Heaven? But that's a bar?" Amy was confused "Why do you want to go there so early in the morning?"

"Please Amy; I really need to talk to you."

"Okay," Amy said finally giving in. "I'll be there at eight."

"Thanks! Oh someone's at the door. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye."

"Bye." Amy hung up. "Why would anyone go to a bar so early in the morning?" She sighed, "Oh well Joy is known to do crazy things sometimes."

Amy dried off her body and rubbed lotion on. Once her P.J.'s were on she quickly jumped into bed, hoping that she would not have another nightmare. As soon as her head rested on the pillows she was out like a light.

(Dream)

Tifa stood quietly behind Michael, a classmate from school. He invited her to go the Shinra Mansion to do some exploring. He seemed like a nice guy so she agreed, Tifa was never a good judge of character, and now she really wished she didn't agree to come. They had just entered a room that was located in the basement of the Shinra Mansion. It was a cold and damp dungeon. There in the middle of the room was a coffin. It was covered with cob webs.

"Wow, I wonder how long that's been here. Want to open it?"

"No I don't. Michael, can we just get out of here, please."

"Come on Tifa, let's check it out. We came this far, why turn back now?" He was referring to how they found the key that opened the coffin. It took them forever to find the key that was hidden in the mansion above. Someone had left a note with clues; finding the clues meant finding the combination to the large safe on the second floor. But of course it was no easy prize, there awaited a monster and he was not to happy with being locked up.

"No leave it alone." Tifa begged. "Someone locked it up for a reason."

Michael turned around and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her closer to him. The stench of alcohol was in his breath. It made her sick. Although she worked in a bar most of her life she could not stand drunk men. "Come on Tifa, no one will know." He held her tighter, "We could open it or you could give me just one kiss."

"Get off of me!" The seventeen year old girl tried with all her strength to push her off., but he was much stronger and bigger than her. "Let me go!"

"Damn it, Tifa, I waited a long time to get you alone. And now that I have you here I'm going to make you mine." He forced his dry lips on to her own, slowly moving toward her neck.

Tifa screamed as she continued to fight him. She scratched his face causing him to bleed. "You bitch!" he pushed her hard against the wall.

Pain shot allover her body as she fell to the cold hard floor. She could feel blood begin to soak the back of her head and flowing do her shirt. 'This is it.' She thought. She had no more strength left to fight.

"Finally." Michael said picking up a half unconscious Tifa, placing her on top of a coffin. "Looks like you're all mine."

Tifa could see him begin to remove his pants. Tears began to slide down her cheeks. Her lips moved but no sound came out. His cold rough hands began to feel her body. Touching every inch of her, until her reached her underwear. "You won't need this, whore." He said as he ripped them off.

'No, please stop.' Tifa mouthed out. She could not find her voice. Out of the corner of her eye she saw something unreal.

The coffin's lid slowly began to move. Michael did not seem to notice, but a man dressed in black appeared from inside. He had pale skin, long black hair, and crimson eyes. He was wearing a gold gauntlet on his left arm.

He's eyes caught Tifa's then he looked at Michael who had just positioned himself on top of Tifa. "Look at me Bitch. I want to see your face when I break you!" As if he was flying the man quickly grabbed Michael by the collar of his shirt and threw him out the door. He landed on his ass and began crawling backwards as soon as he saw the stranger pull out a gun.

"Get the fuck out."

Michael quickly got to his feet and ran out the door, tripping along the way because he didn't get a chance to pull his pants up.

Tifa tried to move but it was no use, she has lost a large amount of blood. She was able to see the stranger return. "Hang in there." He said coldly. She guessed that he was not too happy with her being there and half naked. He walked over to the coffin and pulled out what looked like a blood red cape and covered her up. "Can you stand?"

"I-it hurts. Pl-ea-se he-lp me."

She felt him gently pick her up in his arms. His body felt very cold. "Where," Tifa tried to speak but it was very difficult.

"Upstairs are some beds. You need medical attention." He said not even taking the time to look at her.

"No please. I-if my parents fi-nd out." They would be ashamed of her. Everyone loved Michael, even her parents. His family was the one that help fix the town; provided excellent jobs for the community and no one would believe her if she told them that Michael almost raped her. She looked up at the stranger, judging by his eyes she assumed that he was not the talkative type; but now was not the best time to talk to him.

Tifa began to get sleepy. She slowly closed her eyes. "Don't fall asleep." But it was no use.

Everything went black.
