This chapter is dedicated to cannibal angel. Happy Birthday!

I see him coming running down the street. He has come to end my misery, my torment, my evil. I am conscious, I can fight him, but there's no telling how long it will take Hunger to kick in to defend it's body.

"Vincent, this ends now!" said Strife, jumping, ready to bring down his word.

I elude the attack quite easily. He was too angry to care about where he was striking. He just wanted to swing.

"You bastard! You killed my wife!" he shouted.

He kept swinging and I kept backing up. I grab onto a small crowbar that I jab him in the stomach with. I can't win with it but I can fend him off. For now.

"Got the ammo?"

It was Barret Wallace. He was talking to Cid Highwind.

"Shit I knew I forgot something."

"GO GET SOME THEN! WE GOTTA KILL THIS FUCKER!"

"Alright." said Cid taking a puff from his cigarette. "I'll be right back."

'Strife, I advise you stop this now." I commanded still fighting him.

"Why? So you can kill more people? I will kill you! You killed Tifa!"

Strife wasn't listening.

Dear Vincent, let me out. He's going to kill you….

Strife kept attacking at me. The Hunger was pleading for me to let it out. I knew I could take control by force but it wanted me to prove I'm the monster everyone says I am.

Vincent, let me out. Let me save you…

I began to go on the retreat. Strife was sprinting after me, I didn't want to kill Cloud. He had let me kill Hojo. But Hunger did.

Vincent, he wants to kill you. He's only used you…

I kept running. I ran until I was cornered in an alley.

"Now Vincent, this is your day of Reckoning!"

Vincent. He wants to kill you. Let me out… I want to protect you…

"No!" I shouted allowed.

"What?" replied Strife. "Afraid of death?"

There it came. Hunger left me no choice I felt it crawl its way into my motor skills. It seeped in and took direct control. I took pity on Strife. He never should have came.

The Hunger jumped up. Grabbing onto two rooftops, it stood hanging it dropped down on Cloud's shoulders and shoved a knife into his neck. He swiftly took it out and banged Cloud against the wall.

Cloud shut his eyes for the last time.

It took a few swift bites at his neck. It used the knife to cut open his stomach, leaving some for later. It's face was covered in blood. It kept biting at Strife's neck and wouldn't stop until it was all gone. He just kept biting until there was nothing but bone.

Hunger didn't stop there. It ran out into the street. It was determined to make everyone pay. Everyone in Nibelheim.

"Ammo's here." shouted Cid to Barret.

Barret dumped the ammunition into his gun-arm. He took careful aim. Vincent's body was moving making it a hard target. Barret aimed very closely. He unleashed a clip on Vincent, killing him near instantly.

Vincent Valentine, Turk, Experiment, and hero was given a funeral pyre in the town of Nibleheim. His ashes were spread across the floors of the lab in the Shinra Mansion as his will read. Cloud Strife was burned in the same pyre. He had his ashes placed in the same jar as Tifa. They could be together; forever.
