Welcome to Chapter 2, I hope you enjoyed the first part even though it's loosely written. Well, where does our hero end up? Keep reading to find out. What happens to the world Cloud left? Just assume that it's total destruction without him and forget about it.
Chapter 2: Awakening
Cloud opened his eyes and sat straight up. "Whoa, simmer down there cowboy!" A person in a Doctor's garb told him. "Just relax and lay back." Cloud did as he was told, but he wondered where he was, and how he'd survived.
"Everything seems fine, pulse is normal, temperature is ninety-eight point six. You check out just fine." The doctor completed her analysis. "May I have your name please?"
"...Cloud." He replied. "Where am I?"
"You're in the infirmary at Balamb Garden. You fell unconscious near the dormitories. Did you hit your head?"
"I don't think so. The last thing I remember is being at Tifa's bar and then three guys came in and cast some kind of magic on me, and I woke up here."
"Where is this bar?"
"In a small town near the mountains called Nibelheim."
"Never heard of that place."
"It's right over by Cosmo Canyon, you can't miss it."
She just looked at him, she couldn't find the words to tell him that she had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. To her knowledge, the places he mentioned existed no where in the world she lived in.
"Well, I'm Dr. Kadowaki, and I'll have to tend to you over night before I can let you go."
"But I have to go back to see if Tifa's okay."
"I'm sorry Mr. Cloud but I have to monitor you for at least twenty-four hours before I can officially let you check out, Headmaster's rules with unknown patients."
"Look, I'm fine, please let me leave."
"I really can't, I'd get in trouble. If you just stay the night, you can go tomorrow, I promise."
Cloud thought about it and reluctantly agreed. Unbeknownst to him was that Dr. Kadowaki's true intention was to check for any abnormal brain activity to see if, in fact, he had hit his head.
Cloud lay there until he fell asleep. He dreamt that Aeris was alive, and that they were married with a beautiful child. Cloud was happily cuddling with her as he was awoken by someone shaking his arm.
Cloud opened his eyes and looked up at the person that had woke him. She was a beautiful dark-haired girl with dark-brown eyes. She wore a pretty blue dress and had a couple strands of her hair high-lighted a reddish-gold color.
"Hiya," She spoke.
"Hi." Cloud replied indifferently.
"It's great to finally meet you, I'm Rinoa Heartilly, the one that found you."
"Oh, well nice to meet you too, I guess."
"That doesn't sound very enthusiastic seeing as how I saved your life and all."
"...Thank you." Cloud said with genuine compassion.
"Your welcome.Well, I have to go now, I hope we can talk again. Bye." She walked out of the infirmary and Cloud couldn't keep his eyes off her. He stared so intently that even Dr. Kadowaki noticed.
"Cute ain't she?" She asked not at all minding her own business.
"Yeah." Cloud replied, pretending not to care, but the truth was, he didn't have time to think about Aeris anymore.
Ho ho ho ho! So Aeris is out of the picture now? Love really does stink. Well, she's kind of dead, so he had to move on sometime, just don't feel bad for Tifa because in my story, she's dead too. Just wait until Cloud has to deal with Squall...... R/R!!!
