The ground shook and caused the whole place to shake.
"Roxas do you get earthquakes here?" Tifa looked at the shaking windowpanes.
"N-never before…" Roxas clung to his mother even tighter as everything shook harder.
"It's ok Roxas! As long as I'm here, I won't let anything hurt you." She smiled down at him and he managed to smile back for a second until his mom looked up and horror filled her eyes. He frowned.
"Mom? Whataaaaa-" Tifa threw her son with surprising strength towards the door to the church but he didn't make it far before the roof collapsed, bringing the chandelier down with it. Roxas quickly jumped up before the building could completely come down and tried to get to his mom but was crushed by some falling beams and what felt like a million tiny daggers. He managed to see the blue, cloudless sky before a board fell burying most of him. All he could remember was how pretty it was before he passed out.

"O great, the whole building collapsed!" A hairless priest stepped into the ruble of the old church. He pawed thorough some piles of debris looking for anything salvageable from the destroyed church.
He was going through one rather large pile when he saw an arm. He stared wide-eyed at the motionless, bloody arm and when he snapped out of it, he pulled a red cell phone from his pocket. "Hello? Emergency! I found at least one person buried here in the old church. I don't know if they're alive or not but the whole building has collapsed and there might be more than one person. Yeah ok I'll wait here but hurry!" He shut his phone and tried to unbury the body. He pushed a rather large plank of wood off of the pile and uncovered a face. It was just a boy! Not even twenty! His whole face was bloody and the arm was as well. He dug more through the pile and was able to get all the wood off of him. Not wanting to hurt him, he didn't move him anywhere. His whole body was covered in red. He saw that a window must've shattered down on the blond boy. That would have hurt a lot.
He looked up when he heard sirens and waved them over. They pulled up and quickly jumped out with a stretcher. A fire truck screamed in and some fire fighters hopped out of the truck just afterward.
The priest pointed out the blond boy and the workers took him back to the ambulance in the stretcher quickly. "There might be more people here- why would he be here alone?"
"Okay sir we'll look for other people. Will you please step over towards the truck? Thank you."
The priest just looked on while the workers did their work.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything in this story except the plot (…) and James (Roxas' Dad). dies
okay I know, short chapter. I also know how I'll make it up next chapter.
And don't worry, within all the drama and angst I have put in some lighter things.
Thank you so much for the reviews! When I say that they all mean something to me, it's true. It really is. chuu
