Cloud had to get 5 stitches in his arm. He was fine though. He could be released.
"Well, I'm okay!" said Cloud to Barret.
" S'right!"
"Hey... Isn't Tifa here..?"
"Nah... she ran off after she told me to take you in..."
"Well, where did she go?" asked Cloud with growing concern.
"I'm not sure. Probably after the man that shot ya, knowin her!"
"What?!"
"Hey, It was a joke, man..."
"Too bad the joke is for real!" said Cloud as he ran out of the hospital.
"Wait for me! Cloud!!"
~~~***~~~
Tifa followed the assassin in dark clothes to a house. It was located in Nibelheim. Tifa hadn't been there in ages. She had sold her house and moved in with Cloud back in the rebuilt Sector 7. She walked into the house. She heard a voice.
"DID YOU KILL HIM?"
"No, sir. He dodged the bullet. Atheltic young man, he is!"
"HMM..." Well, Tifa wasn't all sure what to do next. But the next step was quickly decided for her.
"GET THE GIRL. SHE IS BEHIND THE DOOR." Oh? The man was talking about her?! She prepared for battle.
The man put up a good fight, but Tifa ended up knocking him out-cold.
"NICE... COME IN HERE, MS. LOCKHEART." Tifa did as she was told. She was curious after all.
"Um, what is going on?"
"CLOUD WILL DIE."
"Care to be more specific?"
"CLOUD WILL DIE, AS PORTRAYED IN YOUR DREAMS.-FEAR NOT THOUGH, YOU SHALL HAVE NO MORE."
"What?! What are you talking about? Leave him alone." The mysterious man snapped his fingers. Figures of people came out of the darkness toward Tifa.
~~~***~~~
"Yo, Cloud, we've been out all night!! What if she just went home?" Asked Barret. Cloud yawned.
"Maybe..."
"Lets head home.... waddaya say?"
"Yeah, but if she isnt there, we are coming back!" Cloud said with a strong will, but you could tell he was over tired.
"Yeah, yeah. Lets just go!"
~~~***~~~
Tifa woke up in her own bed. At her house. But, no Cloud. She slowly walked out, she felt tired and weak.
"Tifa! There you are!" Tifa looked up to see the warm look of Cloud's face.
"Cloud!!" Cloud dimissed Barret and took Tifa back inside their house.
"Honey, where did you go?" He asked as she sat down with him in their living room.
"I, I followed that man..."
"What man?" Cloud asked impatiently.
""The one... who tried to shoot you, Cloud..."
"Tifa! You could've gotten killed..! Why'd you do this?"
"I wanted to know what he wanted with you... I don't want anything to happen to you!" Cloud looked at Tifa and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Hey... its okay... Did you find anything out?"
"Um, well, this man..." She explained everything that had happened. Cloud listened intently to everything that was said without interupting.
"How is he getting you these dreams though!?"
"Well, the other day, before you came home, I was reading a book on the new kinds of materia, one of the new ones is Watcher of Dreams. It gives the person their worst fear...in dream form."
"Tifa..." Said Cloud in a shocked voice. "You do realize..."
"What is it Cloud?"
"This man, he isn't after me, he is after you..."
