"Cloud!" Tifa screamed, salty tears streaming down her perfect face. She was gripping Cloud's hands, they were stone cold, his body was still as if he was in a deep trance.

"Cloud!" Tifa cried again, "Wake up you stupid idiot" She was shaking him violently, hoping to wake him up, but it didn't work, her anger was rising, there was nothing she could do. Barrett, Cid and Yuffie stood there in shock. Yuffie stood there shaking as if she was cold, but it was a boiling hot day. Cloud was fine one minute and the next it was if he had taken his last breath. It didn't make sense. Barrett helped a very upset Tifa to her feet, she had turned around and buried her face into his huge chest. As she buried her face in deeper, her tears dripped down his stunning six pack, then fell on to the warm golden sand at their feet.

Vincent had come out of his trance, when he heard Tifa's cries, he had left the place where he had perched himself and was heading towards where Cloud's body had fallen. He swiftly pushed through the small crowd that surrounded Cloud and picked him up like a baby.

"Quickly, we had better get him back before he gets any worse," he said urgently

"W-what do you mean any worse, look at him already…" Tifa said, trailing off without finishing her sentence, her deep brown eyes started to fill with tears once again. She placed her slender hand over her mouth, casting her eyes at the ground. She didn't want to look at anyone. Not Cloud, or any of the group.

Before she could move or say anything, Vincent was sprinting as fast as he could, but as steady as he could in order not to droop or make it worse for cloud, over the warm sand of the beach back towards the grassland between the beach and Cosmo Canyon. Seconds later the others were following him, trying to keep up with his immense stride. As he ran over the grass lands a slight breeze had picked up causing the grass to look like it was dancing .

Cloud's body dangled in Vincent's arms, his muscular limbs hung limp, flopping and swaying from Vincent's running, as if he was a tiger's prey dead in his mouth. Cloud's breathing came in short shallow gasps, his skin had gone deadly pale and his body was cold as if he were a corpse, his white skin felt like ice. His Mako tinted eyes were shut tight, as if they would never open again

As they reached the breath-taking Cosmo Canyon, Vincent caught his foot on a rock and fell forward. He couldn't run another step. Looking up, he realised he had dropped Cloud on to the solid ground, and had sent his body flying across the stony path. Clouds body skidded across the grey, black and dark brown stones coming to halt with his face in the dirt, he gasped as if he could feel the hard stones scraping against his skin .

Vincent pulled him self slowly up on to his feet, at looked over at cloud with a concerned look on his face as if he knew what was happing, but no one could see his handsome face as it was always masked by what looked like a old red tattered scarf.

He saw cloud laying there his face down in the dirt, his body was life less, except for the slight fall and rise of his back, his clothes slightly ripped his black top and his baggy black pants, were covered with the dust, which had risen from the stones as he hit the floor.

Vincent quickly and swiftly had pick up cloud and now was heading up the red and dusty steps which lead to the wonderful and quite town of Cosmo Canyon, as he reach the top he shouted for help as quick as they can. A few of the towns people had ran to his aid, the towns people wore dusty coloured clothes which really suited the mood of the town. The took him off the very exhausted Vincent

" Go on you take him I'll wait here fro the rest off them" his voiced was muffled behind his mask; he slumped to the red dusty floor causing the dust to cascade around him.

He could see the others just about to run up the stairway leading to Cosmo Canyon

"Where the hell is he " tifa managed to scream at Vincent in-between trying to catch her breath, her heart was racing, from the dash she had made following Vincent up from the golden sands of beach.

"He's ok he is with the very talented Dr. Lindemann" Vincent said calmly trying to hid his own fear for cloud. Tifa had run on ahead to ward where the small hospital was suited in Cosmo canyon. Yuffie followed her trying to keep up the speed, which she was losing quickly Barrett came up the steps last huffing and gasping for his breath" Yo Vincent what the hell is going on "
