Chapter 10
Where
does the lost one go?
The
night was pitch dark, but still the moon and the stars shine as good
as they could, through the thin, misty blanket of clouds. The light
from the streetlamps bounced off pale concrete. The dark-haired woman
shoved her hands deeper into the pockets of her black leather jacket.
She knew that it was cold at night now, but not cold like this. It
felt like she was going to freeze own death. And so far, no one had
come after her, trying to find her, searching for her. Tifa
up drifted into consciousness thinking,
this has got to stop, and I have to get back. But I don't know
where to go. She'd
been conscious now for some time and had been lying quietly, with her
brown eyes closed. Waiting for the pounding at her temples to stop
echoing between her ears. Time was of the essence, but a sudden
movement would make her puke her guts ut, and Tifa couldn't see
where that movement would help her right now. It was better to wait,
to gather strength, and to move when she might actually have some
effect.
Her tongue licked her bloody lips, and then the next thing she tasted was blood. And she could feel the warm, red moisture dribbling down from her nose. She was soaked wet after the rain, and the wet rain had gone through her fabric shirt. She was going to catch pneumonia if she wasn't careful. She would try to get back to 7th heaven, as soon as she felt like she could move again.
"This is ridiculous" she hissed, and dried away the blood under her nose. The fog made it hard to see, it was like it was some kind of blurry on her eyes. And she didn't remember how she had started to feel pain and how she'd ended up with nosebleed. All she knew was that her body was absolutely limp. Tifa could hear her phone ringing, but couldn't manage to move her arm and pick up the small phone from her pocket. The brunet drew in a deep breath and exhaled slowly. It has been hours since she's left the slum church, seen Yuffie and Cloud, and Zack.
Zack groaned loud when all he got was her voice mail. Zack clutched at the front of his pale, blue sweater with one hand and peered anxiously at the telephone screen in front of him. His mako coloured eyes darted at the road waiting for upcoming messages, and then his eyes glared at the mobile screen again. But no, no messages for him yet.
"Damn Tifa! It's rude not to pick up!" Zack hissed as he drove his motorcycle down the motor road, no signs of Tifa so far. All he prayed for was her to be all right. His black spikes flew in the wind as he drove on, she could be anywhere, in the forest, or maybe in her own bar. And searching all by himself wasn't exactly easy.
He tried to call her again, but all he heard was her answering machine, and it annoyed him more and more. The fact that Tifa didn't answer, bothered him badly. She always used to answering his calls.
Zack drove into the forest, and slowed down the speed a little. He couldn't go as fast as he wished in here, he would end up with serious injuries, and then he couldn't find her and help her. the darkness confused his vision, what he didn't know what that he was closer to where Tifa was than he knew himself.
The dark haired man speeded up his motorcycle again, but stopped in the middle of the dark, forest. Everything was dark, and he had problems with seeing straight.
"I
don't know! She's been acting strange lately!" Yuffie muttered
as Cloud looked concerned at her.
They
exchanged glances over the table. Cloud opened his mouth to speak but
his mate's expression caused him to close it again. Now was not
the right time for explanations.
"Yuffie" the blonde man started, but Yuffie shook her head. "Look, Tifa is strong you know, she'll be fine, she's been through more danger than this! This is nothing compared to the other stuff she has experienced!" Cloud said, but Yuffie still didn't look convinced, maybe they should've contacted AVALANCHE and make them help them with the searching. Then again, they had better things to do than help Cloud and Yuffie.
"A wolf may have eaten her! Think about that, chocobo!" the girl yelled and slapped the blonde man gently on his shoulder. He gazed directly into the Yuffie's eyes. The girl frowned and shook her head, and tried to calm her pounding heart.
I'm sorry for this short chapter guys, but the next one will be over 2000 words. I just hadn't very good time this time. Again, I'm so sorry, and I've started on a Yuffie/Vincent fiction, I'll soon upload it! Promise!
