Ugh, two chapters in a row with no reviews at all. I hate having no reviews.

"Vincent: Chapter Eleven"

.

He didn't pick up again, "Vincent? Vincent! Where are you? Please pick up." Tifa hung up, becoming impatient picked up the phone immediately and tried again.

"Why'd grandpa Vincent go?"

"I don't know. But grandpa's out looking for him." The answering message again. She hung up, placing the phone on the coffee table and staring at it.

"I didn't do anything wrong did I?"

Tifa quickly responded, "No! No! Of course not honey!" She embraced him, "Grandpa Vincent loves you!" The phone rang and she nearly jumped through the roof.

"Vincent?"

"No."

"Cloud! Did you find him?"

"I didn't. I've looked nearly everywhere, but there's no trace of him. I think he might be back at the ShinRa building."

"Why would he go back though?"

"I don't know. I'll call you when I get there though, okay?"

"Okay. Be safe."

"I will. Goodbye."

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Cloud heard the sound as he was crawling up to the entryway to the building.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

It was already dark, so he could barely see inside the building. "Vincent?" He called out. The sounds stopped, and he saw the man kneeling in front of the glowing materia pillar, the tarp that had been on it for so long had been carelessly ripped off. "Vincent, what are you doing?"

"She's not here," He sobbed, "I thought that she was going to be here. I thought- I thought she was, but... she isn't."

Cloud approached him, seeing blood smeared and splattered across the pillar. "Vincent? What did you do?"

He didn't turn his head, he didn't say a word. His forehead had been cut open, and he had been banging his head against the materia.

"She's not here..." He whispered, defeat apparent in his voice.

"Vincent... Yuffie's dead. She has to be dead. She's not like you. She doesn't have demons inside of her that prevent her from aging. She just can't be alive."

"I was so sure, that she'd be here." He pressed his bloodied head against the cold rock.

"Come on. Let's go home." He dragged the taller man to his feet, leading him out of the building.

When he tried to take him back towards Edge, Vincent would not budge, but stood stock still, staring at another building. "Vincent, what are you looking at?"

"Don't you see them?" There was nobody there.

"Who?"

"The dead."

"Vincent, I think you're having hallucinations now. Maybe all you need is to talk to somebody about things? Like a Psychiatrist..."

"No, they're there. I can see them."

"Nobody's there."

Vincent took his arm away from Cloud, eagerly stepping towards the building. The doorway was still intact, unlike the ShinRa building. And Vincent stood in the doorway for a moment.

Looking back, he asked Cloud, "Do you have a soft?"
