Tylorc kept crying and crying. He was a cold blooded killer. A muderer. A blood thirsty beast. And yet... his father was still here... by his side... still comforting him... taking care of him... why? wasn't he scared of him? Wasn't he afraid of getting killed by him? How could he really love him? It was just... amazing... someone really cared for him...

"How can you really love a killer?" Tyloric asked.

"Hey now, you're not the killer, Flame is!"

"But I wasn't strong enough to keep him at bay... you were almost my next victom..."

"So? You're still my son! And yes I still love you"

"Dad..."

"Hmm?"

"Thank you..."

"For what?"

"Everything..."

"Hahaha... You're welcome..."

"Dad... I think I'll go sleep with emerald tonight... just so I don't have to worry about losing control again..."

"You sure?"

"Yeah..." He said releasing his grip on his father and standing up "Really... thank you father..." he walked off.

"You're welcome..." He whisperd.

(*~*)

"Where's Tyloric?" Yuffie asked.

"He's fine... he went to sleep with that dragon... you know... to think..."

"Oh... Ok..." She sounded disapointed.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just... when he looked at me... the pain in his eyes..."

Vincent grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer and caught her in a bear hug "Don't worry my love... He's fine..."

"We're going to be soooooooo tired tomorrow!" Yuffie wined.

"It was a bussy night" Vincent chuckled.

"Still! I HATE MISSING MY BEAUTY SLEEP!!"

"Why? It's imposible for you not to look beautiful"

Yuffie blushed "Vincent, stop it! You're embarressing me!"

"Ooohh come now. Do you really want me to lie?"

"*yawn* no..."

"Well ok then. Lets go to bed"

(*~*)

Lightning looked up at Tyloric.

"Hey buddy. Mind if I sleep with you for a while? It's a long story"

He laid down on the ground and Lightning, unexpectedly, pushed his tail up under Tyloric's neck like it was a pillow.

Tyloric Chuckled "Thanks old friend..." finally sleep overcame him.

(*~*)

Vincent kept thinking about Tyloric all night. He kept thinking about Hojo, and the way even after death was still torturing peoples lives. Makes him wish Hojo wasn't dead just so he could give him an even more painful death. That bastard... hurting him was one thing but his son too? Ass hole.

But why had Tyloric transformed? What had been the provoktion? Why had he attacked? Was he just attacking at random? It just didn't add up. But that wasn't the only thing. He was worried about Tyloric. If this kept up he may lose control of Flame completely... and if that were to happen... Not even Chaos would be strong enough to defeat him... There had to be some way to get Flame under control... but how?

(*~*)

"Son... please... take care of you're mother..." Vincent weezed.

"Daddy... please... don't leave me and mama alone... I don't want you to go... I love you to much..." The 8 year old Tyloric begged.

"Hahaha *cough* I love you too son... but... It's just my time..."

"No! Its not! It can't be! Daddy please don't go!! Please!!"

"Take care of her..." Vincent breathed his last breath.

"Daddy?! DADDY?! PLEASE!! WAKE UP!!!"

"Mister Valentine?" Some one asked.

"Yes?" Tyloric replied calmly.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news sir..."

"About What?"

"About... You're Mother..."

FLASH

"I'm sorry mother... I should have been there to protect you..."

"It's not you're fault Tyloric... *cough cough* It couldn't be helped" Yuffie struggled to breath.

"Please... don't leave me alone..."

FLASH

"Ahh!" Tyloric shot up panting and sweating. He glanced around quickly checking his surroundings. Lightning still lay asleep "It was only a dream... only a dream..." Tyloric reassured himself over and over.

That had been the same dream he had before he attacked his parents earlier. Why was he having this dream? It had been happening over and over. Was someone trying to tell him something?
