A Second Chance: Chapter 3:
They had been jogging since they left Cloud's house. The forest was humid and sticky. She felt so dizzy and tense. For the last godforsaken hours of jogging
through the woods, a thick blanket of silence hung over them, making her uneasier by the second. She glared at the back of the man in front of her hoping he'd
suggest a break or at least slow down! "Ahhh!" Tifa fell into the dusty road. She looked back at her feet, and realized that she stumbled on a rock. 'A stupid rock.'
Tifa looked to Cloud. He was still walking merrily along and either failed to notice that she was down, or chose to ignore it. With the rock in hand, she quickly got
up and dusted herself off. She seriously considered chucking it at his head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cloud noticed that Tifa at some point fell, and for a moment, had the urge to help her up, and offer her a break. For a moment. Instead he slowed down. He stole a
glance at her from the corner of his eyes. The weather made her already tight clothes stick to her body, and her long hair curled along her body, damp from the
heat. If she knew what things ran through his head at that time, she would have blushed 100 shades of red. He brushed the thought aside as he saw her get up.
Judging from the way she was looking from the rock to his head, he knew what she was thinking.
"That wouldn't come close to being the smartest mover tight now. Teef."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tifa shot back to reality. She shivered as he stated her name mockingly. She dropped the rock.
After a couple of hours slipping into the forest, popping back behind him, and going through it again, she realized she had no clue what she was doing. She couldn't
Be free. Tifa decided to open the lines of communication. "Where are we going?" Tifa asked looking at the ground. When she noticed he didn't answer, and wasn't
going to, she tried again. She wanted to get under his skin. "You like your job in Shinra? You know, destroying peoples lives and all." She smiled.
'Damn she's annoying.' Cloud clenched his fists.
She cleared her throat.
"Are you suddenly death or something!" Tifa crossed her arms and pouted.
'Cloud, answer her. Maybe she'll go away.'
"No."
Tifa turned her attention to him. 'Wow.'
"No ::clears throat:: what?"
"No. I'm not death." 'Now shut the fuck up before I rape you.'
".." Too scared to speak.
The night was slowly coming to and end, and Tifa was seriously going to keel over. Suddenly she saw a camp up ahead on an opened field. Tifa stared intently at it.
It looked like they were preparing for something. Cloud stopped and turned to her, and she returned the stare.
"Your sleeping quarters will be set after dinner." Tifa looked around expressionless.
"Can I sleep with you?"
Cloud was a little surprised, but in a sense, he just wanted to say, 'Just tell me how you want to be fucked.'
"Cloud!" A girl with long brown tied in a braid, with a pick dress on, and sparkling green eyes, came from behind Cloud, and hugged his waist.
"Aeris!" he smiled.
A couple of super model type girls, came around Cloud, giggling and shit.
Aeris walked over to Tifa, and was met with confused eyes. Aeris leaned over and whispered, "Better hang around me. The men here might mistake you to be a
hooker." Tifa nodded and looked back at the girls. "Rufus always sent them after he has his share of fun." One beautiful girl pushed through the girls. She hooked
her arms around Cloud's waist, and her hand snaked their way up. She nibbled on Cloud's earring, and whispered, "Let's get outta here." She looked at Tifa and
smiled. She would make sure Tifa understood her boundaries with Cloud. She lightly chuckled as she felt Cloud drift away towards his tent. And drift away from
Tifa. 'Rejection.' It just wouldn't leave her alone. 'What the hell.' She shoke her head. Aeris, noticing the glum expression on her face, grabbed her hand, and began
walking towards camp, putting a genuinely smile on her face to comfort Tifa. After a few minutes of walking with uncomfortable silence, curiosity took over Tifa.
"What's going on!" Aeris stopped and quirked her eyebrow. "So I guess you really are Tifa." Aeris sighed, and took tifa into her tent. They sat on the rug,
which was lit with a tall bright lamp. "Nobody honestly knows why you're here. But it has something to do with your past, and you lineage. And Rufus."
"What's Rufus like? I get the feeling sooner or later we'll cross paths."
"He seems to be infatuated by you. So I really don't think he'll kill you. Rumor has it that he'll be coming tomorrow. To see you." Tifa's heart was beating so fast.
She felt rage, and anxiety. 'Father. My life. Everything was ruined by him.'
"Hey! I'm starved, come on!"
"Sure."

Cloud sat by the campfire with Naomi. Normally by now they would be in his room having sex or something. But when he tried, he thought of how much better
brown hair would be then blonde, how Naomi's blue eyes couldn't compete with ruby, wine colored eyes.
And while so many things were uncertain, we knew one thing.
'I want Tifa.'
