Yay! My fourth chapter! I hope ya'll are enjoyin' this fic! So far, but these are just intros…the plot WILL thicken…Well this is about Tifa. Review!


'Mommy!' The girl cried desperately, 'Mommy please help me!' She began sobbing as the flames inched closer to her. Behind her the wall crumbled a bit; she tripped and fell to the floor. 'Mommy! Daddy!' She sobbed. Rubble fell on top of her and a loud crashed was heard, the little girl screamed as the wall collapsed; then there was silence.

I gasped and sat straight up; I was drenched in sweat and the salty taste of tears lingered in my mouth. I swallowed hard and took a few deep, shaky breaths to calm myself down.

"It's alright." I assured myself, "Just…just a nightmare." But even so I couldn't push the horrible memory from my mind. I always had this nightmare; the one of when my house burnt down. I remembered everything so clearly; I could always feel the heat of the flames as they came closer. I always could feel the intense heat…I shut my eyes and tears made their way down my face. I erupted in sobs and brought my knees to my chin and kept crying. With an angry cry I swung my fist and came into contact with the lamp; it fell to the floor and shattered.

It was just another reason to be mad at myself. It was always like this though, I would get angry and frustrated with myself; after all I made it out and they didn't. But my anger soon shifted and I was furious with them. THEY were the ones who died; THEY were the ones who left me to be placed in foster home after foster home with no real reason to wake up in the morning and say: "It's a brand new day! The sun is shining and the birds are singing and I'm happy to be alive!" Because I wasn't. THEY were the ones who left me with the horrid nightmares that replayed every night.

I threw the light sheet off of me and walked out of my room. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep for the rest of the night. I walked over to the couch, sat down, and clicked the TV on. I flipped through the channels until something caught my attention; it was an AD for sleeping disorders. The woman on the TV had long dark hair, dark eyes, and a soothing face. She was standing in a brilliantly decorated room and she was dressed in a scarlet sweater and black pants.

"If you are up this late, maybe you have trouble sleeping? Are you tired of not getting the rest you deserve? Are you obsessing over a past mistake and tired of the other sleep treatments that involve drugs but won't hit the root of your problem?" The woman's voice was so calming and kind; it seemed as if she knew about my problems and she was here to help me, "We are now accepting participants for a new sleep study, take control of the problem, don't drug your way around it. We are holding the study at the ShinRa Mansion; it will be held this Friday."

I stared at the TV; fascinated and excited. Maybe I would finally be able to sleep without the horrible nightmares and frightening memories. Maybe I wouldn't have to wake-up in the middle of the night crying and wishing the night would end.

But for tonight? I'd just have to keep wishing.
