Man, I haven't updated this fic in a mad long time. Oh well I'll try to pick up where I left off successfully.

Final Fantasy: World

Blood

These armored men all took us into this strange gateway and we were inside this old castle like building the next thing I knew.

"Wait here. The boss will be along in a moment." One of them said locking all of us in the room.

"I'm scared guys." Ashley said shivering with fear.

"Me too. Who are these guys anyway?" Lucca said adjusting her headgear.

"Well maybe they know about Necros. They were the ones who fired that cannon at her. I say they aren't so bad." I told them. "Besides if they were bad they would have killed us by now."

Everyone got silent after I said that.

"Eliot! You do realize that we can actually die here now right? I mean you hear Necros, she said once people become aware than they can be killed because their minds lets them." Heather said crying a little.

"Sorry." I said hesitating. The metal door opened and a large muscular man stepped forward. He was about six feet in height and he wore a gas mask so I couldn't tell what his face looked like.

"Greetings." He bellowed. "My name is Blood, and I am the leader of the Hackers."

"The who?" Ashley asked still afraid.

"We are players who know the wrong that is happening in this game but the only way we can fight it is to hack the game and do it that way." Blood explained.

"So is that why you fired at Necros?" Heather asked. I'd imagine a big guy like Blood would start coming onto a sexy girl like Heather but he seemed unaffected by her appearance.

"Yes. We knew you'd have no chance to kill her so luckily we were prepared. You just happened to show up at the right moment or we would have attacked ourselves." He said again in his deep voice.

"I see. Well it seems that you guys have it under control." I said to him.

"The thing is we don't. Now that Necros is dead we have the other three children to worry about. Our forces were depleted after many attempts at killing Necros. In fact you saw one of our soldiers try to kill her. Remember?" He asked me.

My memory switched back to when I first saw it face to face and that armored man helped me but was killed by her in the end.

"That makes sense. I thought he was some random player or something." I said.

"He was my older brother. That bitch took him away from me!" Blood said losing it a little but regaining his composure.

"Well what is your reason for having us here?" Tucker spoke up at him.

"We want you to do some tracking for us. The children obviously have parents and they are held in the real world. We can help create some distractions for you to find out things about them." Blood told him.

"How? We're in the game and we can't really do much in the real world." Heather asked.

"Actually both worlds are very similar. Since this world actually exists and isn't some game world it has many options. These two worlds are parallel to one another so whatever happens here happens there and vice versa. Quite useful if you ask me." Blood said smirking.

"Where are they located at?" I asked, I'll admit this was something I'd be interested to learn more about.

"We'll email that information to you later. For now it would be best to log off and get some rest." Blood said.

"Sure, I could use some relaxation." Heather said.

"However, we have to log you out from here, and you'll end up in the same place. Its just how our hacked server is set up." Blood explained.

"Wait if this isn't a game how can you hack it?" Lucca asked.

"This world can be manipulated with some advanced technology. It's very complicated. Well we're going to log you out now." Blood said as we all disappeared.

We ended up in some field that was about 20 minutes from my house.

"I don't live here. I'll have to walk home." Ashley moaned. Actually for the first time I actually saw who these people were.

Ashley was almost identical to her avatar. She was short like the majority of girls were and she wore tight jeans and a pink jacket and she had red hair and brown eyes.

Heather looked the same. Long brown hair, semi tall, large breasts, and blue eyes.

Lucca was between the height of Heather and Ashley with short shorts, a red tank top, with blonde hair and red eyes.

Tucker was a little kid about the age of 10 like you'd think. He wore shorts, a t shirt, and had brown hair and two different colored eyes, green and red.

"I can call a cab for us." Lucca said taking out her cell phone.

"Not for me. I live here and can get home easily." I said.

"Yeah, I'll come too. My house is way to far to get from here." Heather said.

"You can't just invite yourself." I told her.

"Please? I won't bother you." She begged. If it was one thing I couldn't stand it was begging me for something.

"If my roommate doesn't mind then I'll be fine with it I suppose. And don't hug me." I said knowing she was about to.

We all said our goodbyes and I walked home with Heather in tow.

"Well here we are." I said stepping into my house. My roommate was home and he was more than happy to let Heather stay the night. He was talking to her breasts the whole time though. Some people can be so immature.

During the night I was reminded of her and decided to go visit her while everyone was asleep. Heather was sleeping in my room; my roommate gladly gave up his bed for the couch.

I went down to the graveyard and just stood there for awhile. Then somebody was behind me, it was Heather.

"Why are you down here so early? It's only like 3 in the morning." She asked.

"I'd rather be left alone here. This isn't something I want people to know about." I told her without turning to face her.

"Come on Eliot. Share with your friends once in awhile." She said walking next to me looking at the tombstone in front of me.

"Someone you know?" she asked.

"If I tell you than you can't say it to anyone else, understand?" I firmly said.

"Sure thing."

"This is my girlfriend. She died a year ago. She was one of the most important people I ever had in my life and she was dead is just a few months after I met her. I never want that to happen again so making friends too close is something I avoid. And I feel liking someone else will betray her. That's the reason I hid my feelings that day when we were in the training center." I explained to her. "I've felt bad ever since I realized that the game world was real because when you hugged me it wasn't just some game interaction, it was real."

Heather was crying now. Not sobbing or making noise but tears were rolling down her big cheeks. She was torn between what to do. I knew she wanted to hug me to console me but after telling her I didn't want it she was holding back.

"Eliot. I had no idea. I'm sorry I didn't ask sooner. But please just let me hold you for now. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if someone held you for something like this." She pleaded, still crying.

"I suppose I don't mind now." And no sooner had I finished did she wrap her arms around me and squeeze me to death. She began to sob on me now.

"Why are you so sad about this? It didn't happen to you." I told her. Human behavior was one thing I was planning to study when I got to College because it was something I wanted to understand better.

"I'm sad for you. Why else would I be crying over you?" she said half weeping and half yelling.

After a few minutes she settled down and I went back to the house, she followed too after reading the tombstone.

"Here lies Emily Davis. 1984-2003. Daughter, student, lover. May my friends and family find peace." Which was engraved on it.

I slept more but then I felt something get in with me. "Heather, what are you doing?" I asked her.

She didn't say a word but went behind me and held me close to her. Her breasts pushing against my back. "Just let me have this moment Eliot. I want you to feel safe and I want to feel safe too. Please?" she said.

"Fine, but don't expect this stuff daily or even monthly for that matter." I grumbled falling asleep again. I will admit I slept better with her around me.

We both awoke and I checked my mail with her fixing breakfast. My roommate was in his room getting talked to by his girlfriend for oogling over Heather.

-----------------------------------

To: Eliot

From: Blood

Subject: Today

Eliot. Here are the details about the operation. In a few hours there will be a power outage around Central Street and inside building 70 is where the children's parents are. With no power you should be able to move in easily. Once you find them do not attempt to remove them from Building 70. Only get information about their children for us. Maybe we can learn more about how to defeat them.

You owe us nothing for this, but you've destroyed Necros so I imagine that you are the most capable people for this job. I'd wish you luck but I'll save that for people who are in need of it.

------------------------------------

"Is that about today?" Heather asked.

"Yeah seems so. I think the others got word of it so no need to notify them." I said standing a getting ready to leave.

Heather didn't have to get ready. She didn't change clothes because she didn't have another pair with her.

"One more thing. Do not tell anyone what you found out this morning." I said firmly again. I had to; this was one of the most private things to me.

"Okay. But doesn't it make you feel better that you can share this with someone?" she asked. I didn't answer I just got into my car and she soon followed.

Well this chapter was short but hopefully it was good. It's hard juggling three fics at the same time.
