Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Cloud's Perspective)

ATTENTION: This is not the real Advent Children. If this happens to be the real story line for Advent Children, this is just a coincidence.

CHAPTER 2

I arrived at President Shinra's office to find Barrett kneeling beside Shinra's slained body. Shinra's office was a mess. The flag of Midgar has been torn, papers scattered on the floor, and Shinra's desk was flipped over on its side. I come close to Shinra's body to examine the wounds.

"Someone must be insane enough to stab him more than once." said Barrett as he looked up at me. I looked closer at the wounds. As I examined, flashbacks of Sephiroth started to appear in my head. I was in a daze.

"Cloud, what's happening to you?" Barret asked.

I didn't answer. Images of Sephiroth piercing his sword into me appeared in my head. It felt as if he were really stabbing me.

"Ahh!" I screamed snapping back to reality.

"What happened?"

"Flashbacks…of…Sephiroth." I told Barrett as I try to catch my breath.

"What? What's Sephiroth got to do with this?"

"President Shinra was murdered with a sword only Sephiroth could wield."

"But it can't be!"

"Maybe so…"

"I'll go call the ambulance."

My vision started to go white. Flashbacks of Sephiroth killing Aerith started to appear. This can't be happening again. Is this telling me something? Are these flashbacks telling me that Sephiroth could possibly be alive again? The flashing memories had stopped and faded to white. Now I can see myself in a body of water in a forest with Aerith. Aerith, dead in my arms. As I lay her down in water, I wake up. Breathing hard and sweating, I look around to see that I am in a hospital. What a nightmare.
