Child of Mine

Calling

*Oh man, what in the world happened?* lifting your head seemed to take a great deal of effort as you still felt like a lead weight. Smelling the air you noticed that you were still in the forest but not in the same house. *Where did they take me?*

Opening an eye you took note that it was now night and all was quiet. Your surroundings were very different. This new place had a more rustic look and feel about it than the other house. Deciding to get up you slowly made your way over to the door that had been left open a crack. *Why did they drug me, what did i do to them.* you thought as your head began to clear and your memory of that evenings events came back to you. You knew that Reno had said sorry to you but then you didn't know why, now you did.

Sticking your nose out the door you tested the air and listened for any strange sounds. Not hearing or smelling anything out of the ordinary you pushed your way out the door and into a small hallway. *Where is everyone?* you asked yourself as you wandered down the hall.

"boss do you think the drugs have worn off yet?"

"They should be by now."
Hearing Reno and Rufus voices you quickly hugged the shadows and crept to the open room where they seemed to be.

"you know she is not going to be very happy." Rude said.

"I know, but I don't think a ride in a helicopter would of been very much fun for her." Rufus replied as he paced back and forth.

"Do you think the intruder will come here?" Reno asked.

"I'm not sure, depends on how determined he is." was his answer.

*Intruder, they took me here to keep someone from getting me?* you asked yourself. *well i guess i can't really be mad at them, now can i.*

"Oi." Reno called as he caught sight of your eye shine from the doorway. "Come here girl, I'm sorry we did that to you, but we didn't have much choice." he apologised, giving that little puppy look at you as he came to the doorway. Not being able to resist that look you walked the rest of the way and met him halfway with your tail wagging showing him that all was forgiven. Reaching a hand down Reno gave you a scratch behind the ears before turning back to Rufus and Rude.

"Well i guess she's not mad at us anymore." he said with a big smile crossing his face.

"Hn." Rude sighed as he made his way to your side as well to give you some attention.

"Take her to the kitchen and get her some food, I'm sure she is hungry after that long nap." Rufus ordered as he turned away from the trio and back to his desk.
"Come on pup, let's go." Reno said, leading the way towards the kitchen.
Before leaving though you looked back at Rufus and watched him begin to type at his computer again. His posture seemed so tense that you were waiting for him to snap. *Oh mother, the people in the world are in so much pain and dispare.* you cried before following Reno and Rude to the kitchen.
Once you were gone Rufus sighed and turned his computer off for the night. He had known that you were watching him, and he was now beginning to think that you were no ordinary wolf. *She knows someting.* he thought to himself as he began to pace again. Although he was not very old, worry and stress lines were beginning to show on his face making him look old and worn. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by his cell phone ringing.

"Shin'ra here." he answered. Pausing for a moment he listened to the person on the other end.

"she is not here."

"Hn, if I knew where she was I wouldn't tell you." coming to a stop in the middle of the room Rufus began to smirk. He liked playing this game. It was a game where no one would get hurt as long as the moves were played right.

"I don't have time to talk to you, so just give it up already." was all he said before hanging up.

"You didn't need her anyways." a deep mocking voice came out of the night sky.
Whirling around Vincent stopped in his tracks and looked to see who was behind him. No one was there.*Huh, must be my imagination* he thought.
Just as he was about to continue his search for you he was stopped again.

"It's not your imagination Vincent, I'm real, and I'm here, there, everywhere. hehehehe."

"Who are you." Vincent demanded.

"hahahahahaha...oh come now, even someone as wise as you should be able to figure it out; and sorry but I'm not even telling you." the voice said.

No matter how hard Vincent tried he just couldn't get a fix on the source of the voice, it was almost as though it came from all around him.
"Why don't you show yourself."

"Ah, ah ahhh, now now Vincent, where would the fun in that be. Besides I will show up in due time don't worry about that. But first I would love to know why you chase the wolf demon. Isn't she the one who betrayed you?"

Refusing to answer the question Vincent started to walk in the direction of the old capitol again.
"Hehehehehe, i see. so she did betray you. I'm not surprised by it , i mean look at who raised her. Those three are bad enough, but the she wolf. Now there is something to be worried about."

"Hn, she is nothing to be worried about, she is not a threat to anyone." Vincent mumbled, not exactly liking what the voice in the air was saying.

"Oh but she is something to worry about, the three brothers will set her loose and she will go on a killing spree. Hehehehe, they have been going from town to town killing anyone and everyone. Just you wait and see." the voice laughed.

"Do you ever shut up?" Vincent grumbled as he continued on his way.
Getting no answer he assumed that whoever it was had left the area. Although he tried to not think about what the voice had said he couldn't help but wonder. *Would she truly be capable of something like that? I mean those three brothers of hers tried to destroy us, what makes her any different?* he asked himself.

"Because she is innocence itself."
Looking up Vincent spotted Kadaj standing nearby.

"Hn. What do you know."

"What do i know? she is my baby sister, I may not have been with her all of her life but I have helped in raising her." Kadaj said as walked to Vincent. "Who were you talking to anyways. Or are there several voices in your head that tell you what to do?"

"Hn, you have no idea." Vincent muttered.

"Hehhehe, you aren't going to find our sister in the old capital. She would go somewhere a little greener i think." Kadaj advised. Unlike Yazoo he wanted his sister to be happy and so found himself giving the man direction.

"Hn, who said I was looking for her anyways." Vincent said as he started to walk away from your brother.

Watching Vincent leave Kadaj smiled as he began to head in the direction of the green forest.
"Heh, maybe there is still some hope left, wouldn't you say mother." Kadaj mumbled to himself.

#meanwhile#

"Hey, she wolf. Don't tell me that you are still pining for that useless excuse of a man."
Jerking your head up from your dinner you looked around you, trying to find where the voice came from.

Seeing your distress, Reno and Rude walked to your side. "What's wrong pup?" Reno asked, as he gave you a pat on the head.

*Who is there!* you sent out a telepathic wave, anyone with telepathy would of been able to hear it.

"Hehehehehe, wouldn't you like to know." the voice chuckled.

*It's like mother, but male, he's all around me.* you thought.

"Oh yes, I'm all around, hehehe. Now as i was saying; don't tell me you miss that worthless piece of meat."

*Don't you say that about Vincent!* even though you were yelling at the voice, Reno and Rude could only hear your growl. Even your teeth were beginning to show.

"Oooooo, sounds like I hit a soft spot. hahahahahaha. I don't know why you bother with him when he loves another woman." the voice seemed to be taunting, trying to get a rise out of you.
Trying hard not to lose your cool you gave no reply. Instead you went back to eating your dinner. Reno and Rude looked at each other, a little confused as to what just happened. Shrugging their shoulders they went back to the table where they sat.

"Oh come now, don't tell me that doesn't bother you. Isn't that why you came to this world in the first place. to find a mate, someone like you. Well i got news for you wolf. He isn't like you, and he doesn't like you."

*Stop saying that!* you yelled.

"Heh, if he cared for you, wouldn't he be here with you, or at the very least looking for you." came the voice.

*What do you know, I just need time to think, he will come to me.* you replied. by this time you were becoming very agitated, which in turn caused your eyes to begin glowing white as your hackles raised up and your lips curled into a snarl.

"Ummm, Reno, I think something is wrong with her." Rude said as he tapped Reno on the arm.

"huh, wha." looking over Reno saw you in a very defensive posture, almost as though you were about to fight something, the only problem was that there was nothing there.

"What is going on here." Reno said as he stood up.

"I think we should get the president." Rude advised.

"Yeah, you go get him, I will see what I can do with her."

"Right."

*I have had just about enough of you, whom ever you are leave!* you shouted. You could feel your anger rising to a dangerous level as well as your body changing. *I can't change, not here.* you were beginning to panic, you didn't want to cause any more trouble than you already had for these people.

"Hehehehe, having some difficulties controlling yourself there wolf?" the voice mocked you from all sides.

*Shut up, shut up, Shut up!" you finally yelled. your voice going from telepathy to a human voice.
This caused poor Reno to literally fall on his ass from the shock. "Holy shit!"

Your temper had now gotten the best of you and you were getting out of control. The fact that whatever was behind that voice was right about some of things he said just got to you; and there was no way that you were going to sit there and listen to it anymore. *Time to take out the trash* you thought as you began to change. Your instincts taking over your mind and your body.
Before Reno's eyes you changed into your human form, naked and angry your white glowing eyes flared as you searched the room for the owner of the voice.

"oooooo, lookie here, the wolf has changed. hehehe! feeling brave now are we?"

"I have had enough of you and your mouth. Whoever you are you are not welcome here. LEAVE! NOW!" you growled clenching your hands into tight fists.

"Pup...wha.." Reno started but never finished as you were beginning to chant under your breath.
For the first time in a long time you were calling upon your mother for help.

Muwahahahaa! Cliffy for my little gum drops!
