Chapter 9:Blood of the Dead

This is in Nimbuss pov

I saw Sephiths face twitch she seemed angery or upset she seemed angered by the feather and I didnt know why she was clutching it tightly,her knuckles turning a pale white.The feather in her hand gleamed with a substance that seemed to make the feather stick to its self.I could feel the darkness coming from the feather alone. The feather who belonged to the man that disappeared a moment ago was shrouded in darkness it seemed as the darkness not only took his heart but took whatever it could get a hold of and it must have gotten everything.Everyone was looking around in their battle stances and waiting just waiting for him to come back but I didnt think he ever would and he didnt.After Cloud and Leon scouted the area while me and Aerith healed the group,the new raven haired man the one they called Zack he seemed intresting in his own way.I was thinking about what Cloud and him where talking about because the man name Zack was presumed dead and he is now suddenly back.If that was possible then the man name Sephiroth should be able to pull out of the darkness I mean the man is evidently smart and has a strong will breaking out of the darkness should be easy.I overheard the men Cloud and Zack talking they where talking in hushed vocies ,but I was close enough to hear them and the man named Zack said something about a lifestream.I would have to go and look things up on the computer they had at home but I wasnt sure in Cid would let me know the password ,if he didnt I would guess the man must not have to many smarts and couldnt think of to many things to make a password ,but he was a gummy ship mechanic so maybe he did ave a trick up his sleeve.

We where heading back through the winding way we had come.We found very few heartless but they all where very strong to me they seemed to be increaseing in strength and not in numbers.Werid but possible very bad.But we contined down the path battleing the heartless and slowly making our way to the Bailey.After we went through the Baliey slowly walking through the small incased stone walls ,I saw a window it could had let five people look out it and possible still had some room,I slowly approached it.The view was breath taking ,but something was wrong I could feel it I looked to the side of the window it looked like mud had been on the side of the wall close to the window but it seemed worn and faided it surprized me at first.When I touched it the dust or substance rubbed off.I smelled it it was something I had come in counter with before but i wasnt sure.I called Sephith to my side.When I showed it to her she seemed surprized.The woman had the strongest nose I ever seen.She rubbed her finger tips into the stuff and pulled back and sniffed it she must have smelled it before she was still clutching the feather she smell it then smelled the substance.She backed up and walked away.I felt like running and asking her what it was but she seemed a little steamed and she still possible didnt even know what it was so she would tell me when she figured it out I guess.

When we finally got back to the house Aerith and Sephith walked into the kitchen and started to make dinner.I saw a gray wooden door that I missed or it must have not been there but I slowly came up to it I was curious it seemed ominous and dangerous.When I reached out to touch the door I felt weakened but I didnt know how,I was tired I was fine but now tired I pushed against the door it fell open.I was surprized to see the pearly white walls bleached red the wooden floors stained black ,a sharp and deep hole in the wall was also red.The red substace was lighter than what I had seen at the stone walls in the Bailey but looked similer.I slowly got up and approached the wall where the substance was I lifted my hand and placed it on where the blood started I slowly brought my hand down slowly going over the hole in the wall and stopping at the bottom of the hole.I called for Cloud or Leon they both came and both where equally surprized to where I was they gave me a look as to say how did you get in here or a look of confusien.I looked towards them my face was easily readable.

"Whos room was this?"I asked curiousity dripping from my vocie.

"Why are you in this room?!"Leon asked me slightly angered.

"Im allowed to explore places but you didnt answer the question Leonheart,whos room was this?!!"

"Well are you just going to stand there and stare at me or are you going to answer the question?!"

I was getting pissed neither man would answer my question.I touched the hole in the wall again but when I touched it this time i had a slime that was black and purple and it stank of blood and darkness.It was slowly hurting me I shook it off feeling even more tired than when I had walked into the room.Leon I think was getting the idea something wwas up.I pushed against the wall it seemed to push against me but how a wall wasnt suppose to push against a person ever.I yelled for Sephith she was surprized that the door even open.She walked towards me and looked at the same thing I did.There was a smaller print like a palm print and a print that looked like something soft and small had been dragged acrossed that part.Sephith was examing the gloo and I was observing the prints.Leon and Cloud grabbed us both evidently getting tired of us just observing things.They dragged me out of the room with little effort but Sephith was a whole different story not only did both of them struggle getting her out of the room they had to called Zack in and when they all three got her out I slipped back into the room.They left evidently not noticing me slipping into the room.Sephith had dropped the feather and it was laying against the wall.I walked over and picked it up it slowly went it lightly scrapped against the wall.I looked at it and did the same thing again it reminded me of something out of the corner of my eye I saw the feather marking it resembled the feather I walked over to it slowly and brushed the feather acrossed the same spot as the print they didnt match perfectly but they matched mostly.I felt cold and the light flickered.I slowly turned around feeling someone elses presence.

"So what do we have here?!'he said it with an evil smirk

I didnt know what to do he was blocking the safe route out of the room I didnt know what I was going to do.I heard a scream but it wasnt loud and it wasnt soft I was truthfully terrified.The scream was from a ghost.I didnt know what to do I was frozen,frozen with fear.He was slowly approaching me I didnt know what to do.His hand and the hand print looked the same but I couldnt be positive.He was less than an arms lenght away I stepped back my body connecting with the wall.I was trapped like a mouse in a trap and I knew I probaly woundnt be getting out alive.He was directly infront of me.I was lost everything in my body was numb.My head was screaming run run away but all I could do was breath and think this wasnt happening to me I wasnt going to die.I heard another scream it was yelling Sephiroth.It was a deep male vocie ,it sounded familar but I didnt know where it was coming from.It sounded like it was from everywhere.

Sephiroth looked down at me he stood two feet taller than myself I had very little muscle he had huge amounts of muscle I knew I was dead.I thought of Eldin I could hear his vocie.Wait I really could hear his vocie it was screaming Sephiroth.Did that mean he was alive or was it my imagination.I wasnt sure but I would never know .Eldin could be alive I was happy till I looked up at the man standing infront of me his face was so close I swore are lips where touching I pulled back he came forward I hit the wall I didnt have anywhere to go.I dropped to the ground before his arm reached to grab me I rolled tot he side and got up he was a foot away from me I had two choices a window two stories high or the door that led to the next room.I picked the window it was closer to me than the door and with a foot between us I knew that I wouldnt make it that way.

I jumped through the window and fell.When falling Eldins vocie got stronger like I was coming towards him and we would be together again.I fell into something soft like a cushing and it made a long deep moan I think it was a person but I wasnt sure.I slowly got up and daringly looked up at the window I saw his shadow and someone elses but I didnt know who.I looked around it wasnt completly dark the wind was making the place a little chiller than it would have normaly been.The stars twinkled brightly as ever.I was getting cold so I slowly walked towards the door and opened it I could hear snoring and knew it was Cid.If he was asleep then evertone should be.I looked around the only thing awake was the clock and all it did was tick away at the time.I quietly walked over to the computer and typed in 'Lifestream'I got a lot of hits and oddly enough I didnt even have to worry about the password Cid forgot to log off and When I clicked on the first link I got the idea after reading the article that Lifestream could or did take the dead but it said nothing about coming back to life ,maybe Zack was different I wasnt sure but maybe the scientist brought him back I couldnt be sure.

I hurriedly got off the computer after I heard the couch creak which Cid was on.I walked past the door its window I had jumped out of.I was wondering if Sephiroth was in the room still I slowly opened the door it creaked only a little I was surprized he wasnt there the windows glass and shattered around the bottom but most of it was outside.I thought about the landing I had it was soft like I landed on something.I ran to the window slamming the door open an dashed to the window I looked down I thought about going out side to see what it was but thought about the heartless I knew if I stepped out they would get me.I knew what I landed on was not a heartless so it could have been a human.I walked out of the room repairing the window as best as I could and walked towards the other door.I opened the door that lend out side.I saw something farther away like a face but it was blurry.I really wanted it to be Eldin.I walked through the darkness.I made a ball f light that was blue and white so it lit up the area I was in.I saw a black boot blood was pooling it around the shoe alone was familar.It looked like something I should have known.I walked closer towards it.Its whole outfit was black.Blood was around it .It seemed to be a body I was hopeing it wasnt a person that was just killed smaller monsters where backing off.Seeing me coming the bigger ones tried to stand there ground they started to back off when my other hand started to have fire blow out of it.

The mans face was easily reconizable,it was my true love it was Eldin.

Yeah hes back I know everyone thought he was dead but I mighty brought him back this chapter was a little longer I was pretty amazed how long this chapter turned out.Anyway I hoped you enjoyed it and Ill end this thing sooner or later.
