Chapter 3: Escape
Tifa ran as fast as her legs could carry her, clinging Vincent to her chest. She could hear footsteps from behind and knew that she was being pursued. She had no idea where the exit to the building, she and Vincent were in, was. All she could do was hope that she came across it soon.
She quickly darted down a corridor to the right and spotted some stairs, leading downwards, in front of her. She hurried down the stairs, occasionally stumbling. When she reached the bottom she changed course again and ran down a corridor to her left.
In front of her, with his back facing her, was a security guard. Without even slowing down, Tifa jumped forward and kicked the man in the back of the head, knocking him out. As soon as she landed she continued her run.
She took a few more turns and occasionally ran down stairways when she came to them. As she reached the bottom of the stairway, she was currently running down, she breathed a sigh of relief. In front of her was a set of huge double doors. She ran across the lobby of the building and pushed the doors open, exiting the building quickly.
Once outside she stopped to catch her breath and looked around. The building had been built inside a cavern and all around her was the stone of the cavern she and Vincent were currently in.
Suddenly she heard voices behind her. She immediately darted towards a small cove on the far side of the cavern. She slipped inside and held Vincent tightly to her as she heard people rushing past her hiding place. Once she was sure they had gone she exited the cove and stood up.
"Come on Vincent, we better try and find a way out of these caves. Who knows how far inside of these caves we are?" Tifa sighed as she set Vincent down on the floor.
She slowly left the cavern with Vincent padding alongside her. They walked through the maze of caverns and tunnels searching for a way out and occasionally having to back track when they came across a group of people who had been sent to catch them.
Vincent kept his eyes on the floor in front of him. He was more then a little unhappy about his transformation. What if he could never become human again? What if he was stuck like this forever? Don't think that way, Vincent told himself as he continued to follow Tifa.
Tifa knew that Vincent was upset, but right now there was nothing she could do for him. The most important thing at the moment was finding a way out of the caves alive.
After what seemed like hours of wondering through the pitch black tunnels, Tifa spotted a streak of light in front of them. She instantly broke into a run, Vincent bounding after her. She stopped as she came to an opening that led out onto a desolate plain; their exit.
They left the caves and looked around, breathing in the night time air. It was dark and it took awhile for Tifa to realise where they were, but she soon figured it out.
They had exited out of the base of the Nibelhiem mountains, near Rocket town. The laboratory that she and Vincent had been prisoners in was actually built inside of the Nibelhiem mountains.
The closest town to them was Rocket, so she and Vincent slowly started on their journey to that town. Hopefully Cid can help us, Tifa thought as she stared at the puppy beside her.
AN - Well they are now free, but will Vincent be stuck like as a dog forever? Please review and I will have the next chapter up soon.
