My Dead Angel

Chapter 7- Reeve...

Cid sighed, he was tired and now they were going after some damn ring. What the hell is the damn world coming to now? Hell, its like they are finally accepting WORLD PEACE. Peace my ass hell we should just blow the hell out of em' all. Cid rolled over onto his side, lately every which way he laid he still hurt. Maybe he was getting too old for this stuff. No, he wouldn't accept that. He wasn't too old for anything! He sighed once more before getting up, he had to share a damn tent with Barret. That man took up 3/4 of the space, thus leaving him with barely a foot. He silently slipped out of the tent to get some fresh air. He looked up, it was still dark out...the wind whistled through the air and he shivered slightly. His hands felt around his left leg bottom pocket till he felt something rectangular like, " Ah, thought you could hide from me eh?" He slipped his hands in and out came a pack of cigarettes. Cid took a cigarette and brought it to his lips. Out came his lighter, *flick* *flick* " Goddammit!" " I believe the wind is to strong for the lighter to generate even a wisp of fire. Red said as he approached Cid. " Hmph didn't here yer a$$ coming..." " I am a predator...you aren't meant to" Red growled slightly before walked right next to Cid and sitting down.

" Why are you up Cid?" " I don't know, just came out here to freeze me a$$ off, What do you think?" " I rather not say anything, due to the fact that it may upset you more." " Me upset? I'm not upset?" " Then why are you yelling?" " Because I can F*%king yell if I want to!" Red sighed, " Is it because of Shera?" " Of course fuc&^*g not!" Red shook his head chuckling softly, " She is making you wait, isn't she?" Cid was quiet for several seconds before nodding his head, " Yah..." " Hmm...I figured." Cid looked down at the red lion-like beast that sat next to him, " Your only what...16? 17? And yet you act as though you're the wisest f*%(^*@ man...wait... f&^($*^ beast alive." " Red shrugged, " According to human years I am 46, or 47." Red eyed him for a moment before standing up, " We have a long day ahead of us... I believe you should get some sleep." With that said Red turned around and walked slowly back to his tent. Cid's eyes followed him for a moment before returning to look at the lonesome sky.

Vincent shook his head, he had a bad feeling about all of this. There was little space to move around in if you were to get into a fight and you could be ambushed easily, though they would have to come after you by two's. Only two people could walk side by side without being squished. " Vinnie...." " Yes, Yuffie?" " Do you think the ring is in here? Or do you think it is a trap?" Vincent was silent for a moment before replying, " I'm not sure...I believe it could be both." Yuffie nodded her head, " My thoughts exactly." They continued walking not knowing where they were going but that this cave has to have an end and at the end awaits the ring. " Why here Vincent?" " Four corners of the earth? Who knows..." Yuffie's hand absent-mindedly reached up to touch the rings that dangled from her chain. Vincent sighed slightly, he didn't understand why it had to be his Yuffie. Why couldn't it have been another? But Yuffie and him have already had this talk. Yuffie had explained to him that it was a great honor and that she couldn't just let Colantel get away for everything he's done.

Besides they still have Reeve to save, whom by the way the last time they met looked horrible and near dead. He placed his human hand in Yuffie's and squeezed it slightly. Yuffie looked at him and smiled. GAWD, don't you understand how much harder this is becoming for me Vinnie? How everyday we get closer and how every minute I think of how I'm leaving you when I go to face Colantel.... Sighing slightly she allowed her shoulder to brush up against Vincent's upper arm. " Love you." " Love you too......"

Reeve groaned slightly, his mouth felt like sand. His throat was dry so he couldn't talk, nor would he have tried. Surveying his surroundings he noticed he was once again in a cell but this time there were blood stains on the walls and he was chained up against the wall. He ached all over and could barely move his head when he heard the cell door open. A guard walked in and pulled out some keys. " Try anything and I'll give you the beating of you life understood?" Reeve said nothing he just allowed his head to droop. The guard worked quickly as he unchained Reeve and had one piece of dry bread and a glass of water. " Here." He thrust the drink towards Reeve, who in return raised his hand to hold the drink very slowly. The guard seemed patient and waited for Reeve to grab the glass fully before walking out. I guess he sees this all the time. Reeve brought the glass to his chapped lips. Drinking slowly he allowed the cold liquid to sooth his no-longer dry throat and sand mouth. His vision was still somewhat blurry and he could barely make out what happened.

Allowing himself to crumple to the floor he lay there with the bread untouched. His eyes wide and empty, emotionless. I'll be seeing you. The door squeaked open as a different guard from the last one came in, " Hey! Get up!" Reeve remained motionless. The guard walked over to Reeve before kicking him in the ribs hard. " I said get up!" The guard received no reply. Reeve remained crumpled on the ground by the now empty glass and still remaining dry bread.
