Tifa sat down on the grass and tried to regain her breath. She'd left Kalm
at 3pm, and it felt like she'd been walking forever. While she'd been
walking she'd been thinking over what Aeris had told her.. she understood
the whole second chance thing, but why her? And why had they been given a
second chance? Were there alternate worlds where Yuffie and Barrett and
everyone else had been given second chances? Or was it just her?
'Oof' she thought ' too many questions, not enough answers' She'd been
walking quite fast, trying to avoid any monsters, and she'd been lucky so
far and not run into any. She wondered why she was so uneasy about running
into monsters.. she did have her handy metal knuckle ready to punch in
anything that tried to attack her... maybe it was the whole being alone
thing that scared her... she just wanted to get somewhere near other people
soon.. the one thing Tifa hated was being alone. Randomly guessing, she'd
say she was about halfway to the chocobo farm. She hoped she'd have enough
money to rent out a chocobo when she got there, seeing as she'd have to
cross the swamp near the farm, and she was not in the right state to fight
the Midgar Zolom.
Aftter resting she jumped up and started walking again. As she walked she pondered over what she was going to do. Was she just going to do what she had done last time, or was she going to go a different route to the group? Maybe she could even stop Sephiroth from killing Aeris...Tifa shuddered suddenly, getting an eery sensation of deja vu, and also another weird feeling.. a feeling that someone was watching her.
"Come on! I know you're out there, come on out, coward!" She yelled angrily. She wasn't in a mood to be played around with. Pulling out the one fire materia she'd managed to buy in Kalm, she prepared herself to attack. There didn't seem to be anywhere around her for someone to hide, and she wondered if maybe she was being overly paranoid.. that was, until something attacked her from behind and she crumbled to the floor from the shock. She was surprised that she'd been so shocked, but then realised that she still wasn't fully recovered from.. from what? Meteor? She shook all confusion from her head and pushed herself back up and prepared to cast fire on whatever had attacked her...
"Hey, pick on someone your own size.. eeeeeeeaaaahhhh!!!" yelled the child who had attacked her as she set him on fire. She was even more shocked than before that someone this small could have caused her to fall.
"Stupid child, what do you think you're doing?" She muttered angrily, walking away quickly, not wanting to fight.
"I'm not a stupid child! I'll show you!" screamed the boy in anger, running insanely towards her. She anticipated his attack, and spun around just as he reached her and flipped him over her shoulder. He landed on the floor hard, and she heard the crack of his body as he landed. She winced, she hadn't meant to really hurt him, just get him to leave her alone. To her surprise, he jumped straight back up and ran off towards the direction of the chocobo farm.
'Oh crap' she thought, 'I bet I've just gone and beaten on the son of the owner of the farm' She hurriedly began to run after the boy towards the farm again.
Unknown to Tifa, a dark figure had been watching her the whole time. A dark figure who knew all about why Tifa was here, why she had been given the second chance to change the planets fate. And he wasn't about to let her ruin his plans.
