chapter 2
Disclamer: I don't own FF7 so on and so forth yada yada yada
Note: I start name calling might want to watch it.
The group of new slaves are split into two groups. A.M. and P.M. For his spuncky personality Cloud was placed in A.M. and sent strait to work.
Resentful of his situation Cloud grabed his first chance to throw a stone at the back of a gaurds head. The gaurd grips his head and turns around. Angerly he looks into Clouds eyes. Cloud did little to declare his innocents. He was unhappy and he wasn't afraid to show it.
"I'm sorry I was hacking at stones and I didn't notice a chunk flew and hit you." A voice offers weakly.
The gaurd snarls, "I should have known."
The gaurd pulls out his sword and hits Sephiroth in the face with he handle. Staggering backwards Sephiroth holds his broken nose.
"Let that be a lesson to bemore careful." The gaurd skolds knowing the real truth.
As the gaurd Cloud turns and faces Sephiroth who picked up his pick and began to work agian.
"Why did you stand up for me?"
Sephiroth lifts his eyes and looks at Cloud. He was obviously tired. And even though his fighting spirit was broken a spark of hope was still alive. Siently he wipes the blood of his face and returns back to work.
"They kill the trouble makers on the first day. If there's any hope of freedom it'll be with you." Sephiroth mumbles. "Not to mention I think this place is making me crazy."
Cloud returns to work. It hurt him inside to see the master of evil at the feet of anouther. Shaking his head Cloud dismisses his guilt. This was Sephiroth, he diserved this. Picking up a rock he notices the blood on it. Was the blood shed for Clouds stupidity making up for anything?
The work day was over in seven hours, but Clouds muscles and bones ached. He was herded up with the rest of the slaves. They were counted and moved towards baracks where they could rest for 12 hours.
What they were given to eat was disgusting and things crawled in it. What it was, was no longer dead.... It was reincanated. Curling his nose Cloud pushed it away.
"I got room in my space unless you want to group with a stranger."
"I may be over tired but room with you no thanks."
"Tired already after seven hours. Your not going to make it at this pace."
"My words still stick." Sephiroth takes Clouds food and begins to eat.
Cloud stares at Sephiroth and groans.
"How can you eat that?" Cloud asks.
"Easy I've been here for..." Sephiroth pauses and tries to remeber. "For I don't remeber. You eather eat or get weak and get hald away."
"I'll eat when I get hungry."
Sephiroth pauses. "You'd die before that dawns on you."
Sephiroth gets up and leaves the half eaten food. Cloud sticks out his toungue and goes and gets a glass of water.
Holding his glass of water Cloud walkes down the row of spaces he realizes they are two to a cuby hole. Litter and human waste dot the walk away. Cloud tries not to indentify the smell. But one thing that struck Cloud as weird is that there is no kids. He'd seen them with the group but there was none here.
"Hey newbie." Someone sneers.
A stone hits Cloud in the head and he backs up. People where far from friendly here. Who could really blame them.
If at any time they showed weakness that hindered there work they were killed. For many their children have been taken. Familys split, probably to never see each other agian.
Strong hands grip Clouds shoulders pulling him upwards into a cuby hole. Cloud tenses his body to fight than notices a familar face.
"Great way to get killed Cloud." Sephiroth warns leaning against the wall.
"What did I do?" Cloud asks confused.
Sephiroth looks at Clouds water. Snorting Sephiroth shakes his head. Dumb blonde.
"Close the curtian."Sephiroth orders.
Cloud looks at the tatter rag hanging from the ceiling. Shrugging he pulls it down and moves further into the cramped encloser.
"Cloud you honestly need to stay out of trouble. I need you to stay out of the eye watch of the gaurds."
"Why?"
"Cause I need you to escape when I get the word." Sephiroth shakes his head. "I have a army of rebals building I just need some body who's not seen as a threat to escape and lead them."
"You built up a army... ... I should have known. I should have made sure you where dead."
"Cloud!" Sephiroth hisses. "Open that door in your dense mind I want YOU to lead them."
"For how long?" Cloud snaps.
"Till this is over and they can go back to there faimly's."
Cloud looks at his feet. Sephiroth was here for awhile he could be delirious. Not to mention Sephiroth put very little into his words when he spoke. Either run when he was told or not. That was one quiestioin he had to face. And the thing at risk was his life. What was life really around here anyways.
Cloud looks up and see's Sephiroth asleep curled up in a corner. Does he trust his enemy of old. Cloud slides to lay down. Maybe this was all a bad dream. In the morning he'll be in his warm bed and Tifa will still be alive.
"Cloud?"
"Hmn?"
"If we survive this I promice you can kill me."
"Whatever. I'd kill you anyway you look at it."
