Tifa was silent. Why had her mother done this to her...? Tifa slowly backed away and out the door, she ran through the rain aimlessly.
"Tifa?! Tif, come back!" And Cloud ran off after her, but he couldnt find her. He ran around Midgar, searching everywhere, but, heh, he could not see two feet in front of him.
"Tifa..!" He yelled. But he just couldnt seem to find her. He went to Barret's house to seek his help in finding Tifa. Barret suggested Cloud to go home and see if she went there. So he did. But there was no Tifa.
"Hey, Barret, I'm going to go check Nibelheim, maybe she went there, you keep an eye out over here, ok?"
"Gotcha! Becareful Cloud."
"I will."

Tifa arrived in Nibelheim. The rain was much worse here, but that didn't matter. 'I, Tifa Lockheart, am a threat to humanity.' She tried to make up stories, not accept it, maybe the blood tests got mixed up... maybe she could find something at her old house.
How was she to get in? They had surely changed the locks. She looked up to see a skylight, and Tifa got the brillant idea of climbing the roof-it worked too!
There were people, asleep, since it was 9:30pm. But it still was sorta early. The house was cold, and nothing seemed the same. She walked to her mother's old bedroom-locked. But they hadnt changed the lock to it! She used her old key and walked into the room, which was empty and dusty. It smelled of must. 'I won't find anything here..." Walked to the other side room and stared out the window at the rain.
"Well, I had better head home" So, she turned away, but on her way out, she stepped on a loose floor board. She pulled it up, praying it wouldnt make alot of noise, and it didnt. Inside she found a small, dark green box. She opened it, and dust flew out. Tifa coughed slightly, and looked inside. She found a small letter, and a necklace. She open the letter.
'Tifa,
Maybe one day... you will find out who your real father is. And if you are reading this, my husband, the man you called father, already has, or... you found out on your own, unfortunetly. Sephiroth... I was young Tifa, very young. His eyes attracted me so... I had no clue. He is a creation, Tifa! I have found out a secret... I am going to die now, because I found out. I didn't mean to do this to you. You are part creation too. I'm sorry Tifa. Hopefully, your gentle and kind heart will guide you away from that part of you. The necklace inclosed in the box, inside of the crystal on it, is kindness. I hope, when you wear it, it will override the Sephiroth in you. Good bye, Tifa.
~Mother'
"Oh..." Tifa felt sick. Her mother, she had kept all of this from her. Tifa realized the soul reason her mother's husband was killed, he was the only living person that knew... well, that wasn't involved with ShinRa anyway. So, that had to be who those people that gave her dreams were... Ex-Shinra members. She understood it all now. She placed the letter back in the small box with the necklace and put it inside her innerjacket pocket, and slipped the floor board back in place. She had to leave now, to tell Cloud all of this.
"Freeze." Tifa didnt move. She obviously had been caught. There was someone outside the door. They... didnt have the key. The new family didnt need this room, so they just left it locked.
"I know someone is in there." Came the voice. Tifa dashed over, locked the door, then climbed out the window. The man broke the door down and walked in to see nothing.
"I told you, there is nothing in here!" He said as he looked towards his wife.
"Oh, sorry, hunny." the man walked away muttering about lost sleep. They went back to bed.
~~~***~~~
Cloud entered Nibelheim at about 10pm.
"I wonder where she went..." He walked along and bumped in to someone in a leather jacket.
"Hey," he asked "Have you seen a girl-"
"Cloud!!"
"Tif, there you are..."
"You'll never guess what I found!"
"Well, um, you know, we are standing in the rain..."
"Oh, heh. Lets rent a room at the hotel for the night."
"Okay." So, they went to the hotel and Tifa explained what she had found, and showed Cloud the box.
"Wow, this sure is a pretty necklace..." Cloud comented as he picked it up out of the small box.
"Read the letter, Cloud, it explains everything." So, he did.
"Wow...Tifa..."
"So, those men, they were ex-ShinRa members. And, Sephiroth had true reason for killing my step-father, he was the only one who knew... since my mother died..." Tifa said as Cloud slipped the necklace around her neck.
"Tif..."
"What is it, Cloud?"
"I don't want you to go through this alone..."
"I, I know... but, it can't be helped, you know."
"I know..."
"Cloud, all I ask is that you stay with me."
"Tifa, I love you, I'll stay with you forever." Tifa smiled softly and hugged Cloud.
~The End~
