AN: Man, I really got to fix those other chapters! I've just reread my work and it looks like crap.. ; Well I'll be back editing those very soon. Hehehe

Anyways I am still alive, trying to find out what parts to put in next and what I'm going to turn this story into. It will still have a Yuffentine and Tifa x Sephiroth couple with Cloud x Aeris. It will just take longer to find it. I'll try to write really long too!

Back To Story!


Amor Tristis

Ch. 7 – The point of no return


The darkness was all around her. It slithered and crawled around the light bulb that was just swinging back and forth. Her body felt very numb and she could barely move.

Ruby eyes scanned around the room to look for a possible escape route but to no avail there was nothing noticeable except of the shadows.

This had to be a dream Tifa thought to herself. I can't imagine how I got to this place if it had been real

Smells assaulted her. The ever ranking smell of blood and the sounds of machinery in the background. Still observing she found herself leaning against a wall with the only light above her form.

Great.. Just Great… Tifa thought sarcastically. After a couple of minutes she attempted to stand and almost made it to her feet except for the chains that restrained her movement.

"WHERE THE & AM I!" Tifa screamed out from her sitting position in the dark.

Lights flashed on and Tifa was blinded and quickly covered her eyes.

"Now, Tifa Lockheart, that wasn't a very polite thing to say."

Uncovering her eyes she found herself being towered over by a man, from the sound of his voice. He was wearing a long white lab coat and his dark hair was tied in a ponytail while two strains of hair fell to contour to his face.

His facial features were covered by a platinum mask with only two openings, so the eyes could see out and Tifa stared into a green eerie eyes.

It unnerved her how his expression was hidden behind that also equally unnerving mask. She did not know where she was and she knew for a fact, she shouldn't be here.

Setting her face into a scowl she faced her opponent in unhidden rage. "Who are you are where am I!"

A hard muffled laugh came from the man across from her. This reaction made her mood turn even darker. About to demand again she was cut off before she could start by the muffled cry from somebody behind the man which used to stand in the dark.

Ruby eyes grew much wider and her expression faltered into a state of shock and unbelief. Along the wall directly facing her were her fellow companions, AVALANCHE gagged and chained in the same fashion as herself were staring at her and the man.

Barret, the heavy strong fearless semi-leader looked at her with fear and desperation.

Red, guardian of Cosmo Canyon was in a muzzle and chained from his front paws to his back ones. He growled at the man it seemed, but it didn't show any strength behind it.

Cid, the smoking ever cursing pilot was silent with a forbidding look on his face. He looked about 20 years older than he had once appeared to be, at the time they had all split up.

Reeve was looking the most battered up with bruises and scars. His eyes were cast downwards in grief but glanced up every once in a while to start in horror at the man.

Vincent, the solitary man was chained up to the wall looking murderously at the masked man. His blood crimson eyes were filled with rage and he struggled against the chains that held him but it did no good. He couldn't even talk for the gag that had strapped his mouth shut.

'What is going on?! How could Vincent, Reeve, Cid, Barret, and Red be chained across the room to a wall?!' She fought to find the answer within herself.

They weren't trying to communicate with their voice, Tifa had noticed except for Vincent's attempts. It looked as if they were suffering from a state of shock.

But this was stopped when the masked man spoke. "I believe we have everyone accounted for, yes?"

He moved across the room to slowly walk in front of them. It seemed he was studying their faces. For Reeve, Cid, Barret, and Red he had just peered through his mask at them.

As for Vincent and Tifa, his eyes turned colder looking at them and staring more intently. Vincent had tried to get out of his trapped state when this man had stopped in front of him. A low chuckle had echoed this attempt and it just made Vincent struggle madly to get at him.

When he had came to Tifa, he didn't seem to be looking at her in disgust, but the look made her feel disgusted. The emotion in his eyes was soft and intense like as if remembering a memory. But It was too hard to tell.

He then went to a desk filled with vials, papers, cords, and labeled chemical bottles. Finally taking her eyes off the man, Tifa searched the room. Large experimental machines lined the walls with bodies of monsters and some of humans.

'I'm in a Laboratory?!' Chemical testing was happening while she was strapped to a wall. 'Now, Its time to get out of here'

Taking the chance she tired to stand up. Falling hard, the man chuckled and came back to her with a filled up needle in his hands.

Fear grew within her. Tifa certainly didn't want that needle to come anywhere near her at all. Trying in vain to get away she pushed herself as far back as possible. As the unknown predator came closer, struggling issued to the other side.

Pausing in his approach, he glanced behind. "Well it seems pointless for them to even struggle. Its not like they can stop me no matter how hard they try."

Walking and stopping to loom over her cowering figure. Their eyes matched and Tifa went to punch him and only succeeding in having her arm in his grasp.

Injecting the chemical into her skin, Tifa felt faint and before her vision darkened she heard the line of.

"Go find the Ninja Girl and bring her here."


AN: Yes I'm back! And I finally fixed some of the errors on my other chapters like the huge load of Bold… hehehe It seems that this story is helping me learn the art of creative writing.

Hopefully anyone hasn't given up on me yet. I'm still going. Lots of advice would help.
