Chapter 1 "Wounds"
It took Cloud a minute to absorb what exactly was happening. Before he had a chance to blink, he was holding the wound in his chest and falling to the floor of the Highwind on his knees. A door opened suddenly as Cloud's eyes began to get blurry "Cloud!" Tifa yelled with Barret as they ran out of the control room. Tifa quickly ran to Cloud's side and tried to help him up, but as the blood dripped to the floor Cloud fell over, looking one last time at his attacker. "Seph…i…roth…"

Cloud's eyes opened in a flash, the area he awoke in was completely white and nothing was in sight. He quickly sat up and took a look around; no one was with him either… Or so he thought. "Cloud!" someone cried from a distance. Footsteps became louder by the minute, as the figure came into view. Her hair was in its usual braid, but her familiar pink dress had turned to white. Her smile still remained the same though. Cloud was almost speechless, but still felt comfortable with her now with him.
"It's good to see you, Cloud." She said, hugging him. He lightly put his hand on her head and stroked her hair, "It's good to see you too, Aeris."…

"Hey, he blinked!"
"Not so loud, Yuffie; we're in a hospital!"
"You call this &*^% a hospital?!"
"Well it's a hospital for now! Cloud!?"
Cloud slowly opened his eyes and got accustomed to the light quickly; the group circled him as he lay down in a little bed. Everyone's face was stained of worry, except for the obvious Cid, Barret and Vincent (their faces never change!). Yuffie leaned over his head and poked him on the nose a few times. "You awake, Cloud?"
"No, Yuffie," Cloud joked sarcastically, his voice a little scratchy "I always talk to Materia thieves in my sleep." Yuffie gave him a irritated look and let the others take a look at him, "You know," Cait Sith teased, "I bet some people actually do that!"
Cloud was obviously no longer on the Highwind; the room was made completely out of wood with two windows on the east part of the room. On the west part was a staircase and the north there was a few beds. The place looked extremely familiar, the name was on the tip of Cloud's tongue.
"Where are we?" he asked, giving up. Barret sat in a chair near the fireplace, "We're in Kalm, ya remember Kalm?" he said harshly. It finally kicked into his mind where he was; the place where he spilled his story just after they left Midgar. Cloud then realized his condition; he was covered with many blankets but underneath he looked like a mummy. A bandage was wrapped around his head and most of his chest, a few little bandages here and there on his arms and legs; plus some bruises. Blood went through the large wound across his chest, which caused him extreme pain; trying to stay awake was useless though.
"Did we… Make it to the Ancient City?" he asked, as he began to doze off he turned over to get more comfy on the pillow. "Nah, we didn't make it." Cid answered from the right of the room.
"But... Aeris… I saw… Her…"
"What!?" the group yelled in unison, but Cloud had already fallen asleep. Tifa went to his side and held his hand as he slept peacefully for a while. As he slept, the snow lightly blew outside, showing the weather of the days to come…

Waaah sobs Poor Cloud! Despite how it may seem in this story, I'm actually a very big Cloud, Sephiroth and Vincent fan! Guys with cool hair are always fun ^_^ J/k! This is my VERY FIRST fanfiction so I'd appreciate it if you would R and R please. You can even tell me if it sucks! I just need to know what I need to improve! TTYL!
