Ka: …my friends are trying to keep me away from the computer…I can't update right away like the usual…since it is my summer vacation they're wanting me to hangout with them…thank you to my loyal reviewers since you guys are the ones who motivate me to update with the story…now lets end the drama and lets continue on with the story…and sorry for the short chapter…since it was hard to think about how the characters would react with one another…(this is from March 29, 2009 note…)


I'm sorry about the inconvenience about my disappearance due to no internet

It's been two months ever since Cloud walked out the door and out of Tifa's life. But Cloud isn't now her priority now…it's Skye she's worried about…after the news she had heard many times about children that are disappearing as a group of bandits kidnap them for ransom…but no one has dared to get their children after an incident of three worried parents giving money just to free their child were killed not even the police would come near since half of their squad was reduce to half others barely made it alive.

Dark bags hung underneath her eyes, since she would stay at night to guard the child just to make sure nothing would happen to Skye…she doesn't trust her security system anymore. She took a job as a waitress in a coffee shop during the morning up to the afternoon where Skye would still be in school. Sometimes her friends would come over to assist her in her daily activities and would guard Skye as the brunette would take a nap. Tifa stared out the window of the small coffee shop hoping her son would be okay.

The bell chime signifying the employees that there's another customer.

"Welcome…" Tifa said dully along with her workmates.

A woman about in her mid 50's stood right in front of her, she analyzed Tifa before she spoke up.

"Are you Miss Lockhart?" the woman asked.

Tifa nodded.

"I'm the principal of Skye's school. I have something to notify you about Skye." the woman stated.

"Oh! Well sure…it seems very urgent…but I must tend some customers for now…my break will start in 5 minutes…" Tifa said as she bowed a bit and hurried to tend some of her customers.

5 minutes later…

The brunette waitress sat herself across the school principal.

"Did Skye do something bad? Failed?" Tifa asked.

The principal hung her head.

"What is it?" another question came out of the waitress' mouth.

"Your son…he's been kidnapped." A raspy voice replied.

'Kidnapped!?!'

Tifa's world came to a stop…hearing her son was kidnapped, the only child she has…who gives life to her colorless world, the one she loves and cherish most…is now KIDNAPPED!!! Anger started to gauge up inside of her.

"KIDNAPPED!!! AND YOU GUYS DIDN'T TRY TO STOP THE KIDNAPPING!!! I'D PAID FOR THE SCHOOL KNOWING THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE FOR MY CHILD TO STUDY THERE…AND YOU WOULD JUST WALTZ IN HERE TELLING ME MY SON IS KIDNAPPED!?!" Tifa screamed.

"Please Miss Lockhart calm yourself…the bandits are fully armed…we couldn't get near the children. You aren't the only one that has a child kidnapped…" The principal said as she hung her head, "My son too…has been kidnapped too…" tears fall down the principal's face.

Tifa stared at the principal, tears threatening to fall…she couldn't take it…a well guarded school…but yet Skye was still kidnapped. She banged her fist on the mahogany table and hung her head down. A few minutes have past…she stood up from her seat…and walked out the door of the coffee shop.

"Hey! Tifa-chan! Where you're going!?!" One of her workmates screamed before Tifa closed the door.

"…I'm going to find my son…I don't know how…but I'm going to rescue him…" Tifa replied as she gently closed the door and dashed off.

'Skye…I hope you're okay…mommy's going to get you…just hang on…God please watch over him…'

The mother can't help but worry…she has no plan on how she would save her child…and the others as well…she can't just barge in the place…knowing the captive children would be placed in a dangerous position.

'AVALANCHE?'

She knows it is a burden for her friends to help her…but they have saved the world more than one time…

Arriving in front of her gate she took her gloves, extra clothing, and other important needs…taking her car keys, she dash to her car where she drove of to Edge…knowing the rest of her friends are there harassing Cloud or playing Denzel and Marlene…she hopes that Cloud would be somewhere else delivering stuff.

6 hours later…

Staring at the seventh heaven bar door…where she lived her life for a couple of years before…she noted that AVALANCHE was inside due to Barret's truck that was park near the Fenrir…she hung her head down…it was nighttime she didn't want to ruin her friend's night due to the fact laughter was heard inside…tears fell down her face her hands wanting to open the door…instead she squatted and bury her face in her hands.

The door opened…heavy footsteps were heard…the footsteps got louder and louder as the person neared her.

"Tif?' a monotonous voice came from above her head.

Tears flowed down more harder…she didn't expect the first person she would meet for the night would be Cloud.

Cloud squatted down grabbing both of her hands and pulling them away from her face.

"What's wrong?"

Each time she would think about Skye…her crying would become harder.

"…Ska…Ska…Sky…Skye…" Tifa forced herself to say.

The two stood up.

"What about him?" Cloud asked a hint of worried etched on his face.

Tifa mustered herself to look at Cloud in the eye, tears still falling.

"He…He…He's…Ki..Kid..Kidnapped…" Tifa replied.

Cloud stared at his childhood friend, sadness filled him…seeing the fact that Tifa was heart broken due to their son was kidnapped.

"Tif…"

"…?"

He hugged her…trying to comfort her. Tifa's eyes grew wide in shock…not knowing how to respond.

"Tifa!" Two familiar voices screamed in unison from behind.

She looked over Cloud's shoulder to see Denzel and Marlene standing on the front porch. The two have grown, currently in their teenage years. The two run over and hugged the two.

"Well watdya't know…looks like there's a family reunion here." Barret's voice boomed from inside the bar.

Tifa smiled a bit…still worrying about Skye.

"Neh Tifa! What are you doing here at Edge?" Yuffie's voice rang out.

Tifa bit her lips.

"I need help…" she replied hesitantly.

"Oh yah fools! My damn leg is getting tired of standing up! Can't we all fucking just get in HERE!?!" Cid stated as he entered the bar.

"Grumpy Grandpa! I ought to teach him a lesson!" Yuffie said as she marched right after Cid.

The rest of the gang gave a sigh of irritation before entering the bar. All sat around the coffee table where Tifa told them about the small conference with the school's principal, and everything that needs to be known.

"WHAT!?! Skye has been kidnapped during school time." Yuffie exclaimed, worry was evident in her face.

"Yes…unfortunately…I didn't really want to disturb you guys with the problem…but I have no plan how to save him due to the fact that if I barge in the bandit's hangout I would put all the children in more danger." Tifa said as she held on Marlene and Denzel.

"Tif…you haven't been getting enough sleep have you?" Cloud said as he analyzed the brunette.

She shook her head in reply.

"I heard she's been guarding Skye as he sleeps…and she takes a ten minutes nap before she leaves her work…am I right?" Vincent said in a deep monotonous voice.

Tifa bit her lips…how in the world Vincent knows about this? Before she ask Vincent, Nanaki cuts in.

"It seems like everyone needs sleep right now…let's wrapped it for today…let's make a plan for tomorrow." Nanaki said stifling a yawn.

Everyone nodded and the others starting to rush towards a couch in the living room before another would take it.

"Tif…you should sleep now…worry about Skye tomorrow…" Cloud said taking her to her room.

"Thanks Cloud…but I don't know if I'll get a good sleep…but I just can't get Skye out of my mind." Tifa replied and enter her room.

Lying on her bed…she couldn't sleep well…Skye was still in her mind, knowing that Skye was afraid and wanted to go home.

Blue eyes flickered open, noticing many children around his age were huddled together as they sleep…he found himself being hugged by a young girl around four years old who was sleeping not in peace but in fright. Skye sniffed, wishing it was his mom who was hugging him and comforting him. He was scared like all the children that were rounded up. He looked up to see the people who hostage them…there were two of them that were guarding the cell, noting that the others was in search to find another child. Both of their arms glowed a bit.

"Don't show them you're awake…if they catch you…they'll hurt you…just like what happen to Tamaki…they'll think that you're up to no good…" The kid right in front of him whispered.

"Thank you for telling me…" Skye whispered back, with that he doze off to sleep…hoping that he will see his mom again.
