Chapter 2
Aerith groaned. What had happened? She had been in class one minute and now she was here, wherever "here" was. She got up and yawned and began to come up with a plan. She wasn't sure were she was but she was sure there would be monsters nearby so she decided she'd need to be careful when going around this weird place also if she made it here possibly some of her classmates had made it here. If she could find Cloud he'd know what to do, he always knew what to do. She sighed; Cloud had always looked after her, ever since she had moved to the school two years ago. He was such a nice person yet always looking troubled, and most of all he always was uncomfortable around "him". She shudder "he" was a very quiet character, he didn't have any friends at school, and anyway, she thought, nobody would want to be "his" friend anyway. She suddenly thought, if she had made it here maybe "he" had too! "I'll have to be extremely careful" she said to herself. She needed to find Cloud.
"Well, well, is poor Aerith all on her own?" Aerith spun around and their standing in front of her was one of the school's worst bully's. Seifer. "All lost are we, without are boyfriend Cloud too look after us?" he laughed.
"Get away from me" Aerith said getting up of the ground. Seifer laughed again and drew his gunblade kicking Aerith back to the ground at the same time. She shielded her eyes, ready to feel the pain she expected from the gunblade, but there was nothing. She looked up and found Seifer being held up in the air by the throat of a man with long, white hair wearing a black cloak. "Oh no!" she thought to herself. "It's him! It's him! I have to get out of here!" She clumsily got up and started to run into the forest, behind her the man had drawn a long sword and thrusted it into Seifer's stomach going straight through and coming out the other end. Seifer screamed and the man dropped him. As Seifer fell to his knees in one quick movement the man had completely removed Seifer's head from his body. Letting the decapitated corpse fall to the ground the man looked up into the woods the girl had run into.
"Well if it's a chase she wants" the man said in a calm well spoken voice. "Then that's what she'll get" With that he flew up into the trees and began to run in the direction Aerith had gone in.
"And so, where are we heading?" Ratchet asked.
"We're not "heading" anywhere" Squall replied.
"Then, where are we going?"
"We're going to try and find anybody else who made it here."
"Hey you're right and wait I need to find Clank and maybe even Sasha made it here!"
"Your friends?"
"Yep."
"Well we'll keep an eye out for them at the moment I'm looking for someone in particular."
"Whose's that"
"A friend of mine, his name's Cloud."
