Chapter 1

FIVE YEARS AFTER AERIS'S DEATH...

Vincent sat deep in the Silent Forest high up in the cold dead branches, attentively watching as Hojo approached the lake's edge where Aeris's bittersweet death had taken place five years before. Hojo motioned a man with raven black hair to come forward. The tall, dark, handsome man grabbed his staff and began hacking away at the ice-covered lake at command, scraping away the frost effortlessly. After he had penetrated the icy surface, Hojo stepped onto the ice and dropped a shiny blue marble-like ball into the freezing lake water.

"Sir its almost 12:00," Sephira said barely audible to Vincent's ears. She had long wild dark-brown, curly-wavy hair, that framed her exotic features perfectly. She was wearing a short black hooded, zip-locked sweater, covering a red shirt with jagged letters sprawled on it in an icy blue font that lit up like flames from a source of unknown magic. About 5 7' and weighing at a surprising high mark, this woman looked like a hardcore Amazon, wild and sophisticated. Her figure was full, and healthy, showing that she was somewhat into her body. Along with her interesting, unique outfit, she wore thick, rugged boots, and very baggy jean pants with silk ties on each side, laced up in a twisted knot.

Hojo looked back at her and spoke gruesomely to the man with raven black hair, "Zack…-Sephira count." Zack looked up, knowing exactly what Hojo's plans were for that night, rather excited with oncoming events. Zack, whom use to be a Soldier to work under ShinRa, now found himself working for Hojo with reasons unbeknownst to him. With jet black hair, and deep blue reflective eyes, Zack had an air about him that was spunky and self-motivated. He wore a white shirt with long sleeves, rolled up to his elbows, his vast muscles bulging out in the open. Along with that, he wore classy kaki, pants, topped off with a woven, dark brown belt with. Zack was an odd man, class was his motto, and not even working for the most villainous man would stop him from wearing what he wanted, oh, and the fact that girls just fell for him every second of the day when he dressed the way he did, also had a lot to do with.

Man, can this getting any more boring... hurry up Hojo... you old fart... The Amazon frowned in rebellion, no respect whatsoever radiating out of her huge blue, sparkling eyes , " 12...11...10...-" Zack pulled out a box from the trunk of a near by car that Vincent assumed belonged to the wild woman, Sephira, and swiftly typed the code number on a side panel, parallel to the lock itself. The box popped opened suddenly only to reveal a huge materia filled with a glowing mist. "5...4...," Sephira continued counting. Unexpectedly a beam of light came forth from the moon and hit the God materia, making it shine brightly. The beam then shot from the God materia down to the life materia that Hojo had thrown in. For five seconds the lake shown brilliantly, the next, everything was dark and wintry cold again.

Zack ran to the hole that he had previously made, and again he hacked away at the ice. Hojo put his hand on his shoulder and pulled him back for a moment, then kneeling down by the whole, he struck his hand in trying to reach for something… but what? Vincent questioned himself. Hojo stood up quietly, hesitated for a moment, then, as if it was a life and death situation, motioned Zack to keep on working at the ice.

Vincent leaned forward as his brows began to knit. Why were they just standing there? What was Hojo up to? Suddenly the clawed man feel back in astonishment as his eyes took sight of Aeris quivering, clawing desperately on the slippery ice, gasping for breath. Aeris?!? Hojo jumped for glee at the sight of her delicate body full of life once again... after all those years. The raven haired man pulled Aeris's shuddering body out carefully with Hojo's help, as Sephira wrapped wool blankets around her frozen, fragile body.

Hojo picked up the confused and frightened rose roughly, and carried her to the black car, placing her within, Vincent still watching sharply. Sephira slid into the driver seat, slamming the door shut, waiting with annoyance as Zack stood outside the car to look to see if anybody had been watching. His eyes suddenly jotted up to Vincent's hiding place while he turned his body to sit down on the passenger's seat. He sat there for a few minutes, exchanging words with the tumultuous Amazon, piercing Vincent with sudden questions. Had they seen him?

The car screeched forward hurriedly, disappearing out of sight, by means of leaving the smell of smoldering tires running threw the air with a ray of hope. Vincent jumped out of the tree and landed smoothly onto his feet, not very interested with the nights events, and decided to not concern himself with telling any body about it, for the sole reason of wanting to be left alone.
