Some Things are Meant to change
Cloud woke slowly and painfully. The most unearthly pain was throbbing in his lower-torso. Memories started fighting through the sludge that was his mind- they had encountered the Turks. and that Vincent had socked the heck out of him. He cast his eyes around the room. He knew it was dark, but thanks to Mako enhancing, he could see quite clearly. His heart gave a lurch when he spotted a figure clad in pink about five feet away from him. "Aeris?" "Cloud! Are you okay?" Trying desperately not to make is chest hurt more, he just cocked his head toward her. "Chest hurts a bit. How are you? Are you okay?" Surprisingly, Aeris laughed "Tee hee! Not even Vincent would lay a finger on me! Hojo would kill him!" "Huh, I wish he hadn't lain a finger on me!" Cloud saw Aeris redden in the dark. "Talking of that I.uh.took the liberty of checking your chest- you are the proud new owner of three broken ribs and a impressive bruise," "Ah. Your both awake. Good,"
The lights burst into life. Standing at the door was a Turk. But he hadn't been at Gongaga. He had long black hair and sombre brown eyes. "Aeris, why are you intent on making my, and all the other Turks, as hard possible?" Aeris smiled sweetly as ever at the newcomer. "Tseng! How could say such a thing about sweet little me?" Her eyes cast around the doorway that Tseng was standing in. "What? Where's Vincent to give me the 'Now Don't Be Such a Pest and Stay Here' lecture?" Tseng looked unsure how to answer the question, swallowing hard. "He.has 'business' in Junon," "Ah, more trade for the Undertaker!" Tsang ignored the light-hearted jibe Aeris made "And may I have the pleasure of knowing your name, He-Who-Is-So-Silent?" Cloud looked lazily up at Tseng. ".Cloud Strife," Tseng nodded, a sly smile playing on his thin lips, giving him a content, smug expression. "I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but you are going to be shot in about, ooh, seven days. Professor Hojo doesn't like having his specimens stolen." He stated to leave but stuck his head back round the door just for a moment
"I hear Rufus himself is going to do it- his renown for never missing,"
Cloud just sat, absorbing this information. He hadn't really been prepared for that. Had Hojo managed to get him a death sentence? Even in SOLDIER, death had been pretty harsh. The President of Shin-ra himself was going to give him a red hot lead injection. *Could be worse.* Cloud thought *I could be shot by some pompous Turk.* He laughed shortly, earning a worried look from Aeris. "Cloud? You sure your okay?" He nodded curtly. *Seven days to bust this joint? This is gonna get veery interesting Cloudie-Boy,* "Aeris?" "Yep?" "Just so you know, I'm going to try and escape in the next few days- fancy giving us a hand?" "Do I get a choice?" ".Nope,"
Authors Notes: Ooooh the Drama! NOT! God, you could see that one coming a mile off. Good grief that was a short chapter. Naela, please tell me what ya think! Oh, one thing- Vincent HAS had all the gene engineering, enhancements and the like, just so you know. I forgot the Disclaimer last time so here goes: Disclaimer: Hmmmm.let me think about this.Nope, I Don't own Final Fantasy 7 or the characters! Please r+r!!!
