Chapter 2

3 Months later; After the Lake Incident-

A panic-stricken couple sped down the streets of Midgar on a motorcycle, searching for nothing but freedom from the laboratory experiments held by Hojo. Aeris held on to Rufus tightly as they desperately undertook a mission to escape from Sephira and Zack; whom together, speedily chased these two young adults, heatedly down the sectors of Midgar for the sole reason of returning them to Hojo; their rightful "owner and master."

"Rufus, they're catching up" Aeris said perceptibly looking back at the shiny black car.

Rufus looked down at the gas monitor and noticed that the monitor was reading nearly empty. Glancing into the rear view mirror, he knew that it was no use, that Zack and Sephira would catch up to them eventually then drag them back to Hojo's laboratory to continue the project. Project A. Rufus put his hand down on Aeris's wrist, that was fixed around his waist so tightly.

What am I going to do? I can't let anyone bring Aeris back to that hellish place. "… Aeris… where next!" Rufus yelled, wiping away the cold sweat from his furrowed brows.

Zack sped up and was now side-by-side to Rufus and Aeris. The beaming Cetra reluctantly glimpsed to the left at them and noticed that Zack was holding and instrument of death. "Rufus," she yelled in horror, "He has a gun!" Rufus looked over at the deviousness of the black car, swiftly swerving in another direction, Aeris's trembling grip tightening in panic. He looked over to the right trying to find a way to loose them, but it was no use, they were to fast.

ShinRa skid to a to the side, noticing a couple of biker's ramping a wooden board, twelve feet high up in the air. "Aeris. Hold on tight, I'm going to ramp that board." Aeris looked up at the ramp in shock, shaking her head to release the falling tears of anxiety. Sephira's car skid to curve, swirling around to face their two frightened victims as anxiety pierced her soul. "Oh... no. Please no. There has to be another way." Aeris whispered slowly, her stomach turning in protest. Rufus looked back at the black vehicle rapidly drawing closer, thinking of any way that they could possibly go, to escape the clutches of Hojo. "We have no other choice, the other way is a dead end," The blonde haired protector snapped sharply, rushing forward with his bike. "No Rufus!!!" Aeris screamed, as they approached the ramp.

Rufus ramped the board onto the roof, veering to the end of the roof only to notice that there were ramps on the roofs across three of the sectors, and that on the last, there was a ramp leading down. He decided to take on the ramps, giving no heed to Aeris's pleas. His self-determination was focused on getting away from his pursuers, than anything else that was off-center.

Rufus glided gently to a stop and got off his motorcycle to attend to Aeris's needs, "Aeris," Rufus said gently to the traumatized girl, "It's over. Are you okay?" I'm so sorry... I wish I could end this night right now...

"Urn…Please don't do that again."

"I promise, no more ramps." I want to tell you everything will be okay so badly, and that we'll escape together... but... that's a false thought... just a fantasy.

"Rufus I feel…sick," The distraught rose said pressing her hand against her turning stomach. Uhhh... I don't think I can stand any more of this..."Can we just run the rest of the way?" Aeris begged softly, shattering Rufus's heart with deep sorrow.

"Aeris I'm sorry, but if we did that, we definitely wouldn't stand a chance," Rufus squeezed her hand tenderly to show he cared about her afflictions, kissing her gently on the cheek. Please don't stare at me like that... Aeris... My soul can't bare that... I love you... "Please try and hold on a little longer, I promise everything will-" Suddenly loud, savage, piercing noise broke the silence, redirecting Rufus's senses on the view of the black sports car, rapidly drawing close. His head snapped back as he took sight of their two persecutors whom devilishly harassed their choice and accountability, loosing track of all his sweet desires as he jumped onto the bike.

"Oh…no!!!" Aeris cried out, looking back at their adversary's car, gripping Rufus's waist powerfully as he suddenly jerked the bike forward in fear.

"Don't grab on so tightly," The young President screeched out; anxiety filling within his veins.

"Go! Go!" Aeris screamed as the antagonists drew closer. Rufus pressed the gas peddle and jerked forward accidentally this time, making Aeris hurl forward like a rag doll. "I'm sorry for everything-" He called out when he was finally in full control of the bike once again. Speeding effortlessly down sector seven with hopes and desires filling their sweet thoughts, Zack and Sephira still followed like a shadow, crushing all rules of humanity.
