Ryoko: Here you go!



Dsicalimer: WE don't own FF7.



A Memory Never Erased





Silent flicks her tail and walks over to a table. Elora follows her and sits down. The man from last night comes over and brings Elora some bread, chicken, and some milk for Silent. Elora nods her thankz and the man leaves. As Elora eats, Silent tells of what happened to her.

Flashback

The group was walking just outside the entrance to the Mythril Mines. They had covered a lot of ground while looking for Elora and they figured they could cut across the marsh to the caves. What they hadn't counted on was a sneak attack by both the Midgar Zolom and Sephiorth. Silent and Pink14 were the first ones to hear the snake.

"Look out!"

A brown haired girl gets knocked to the ground and the battle starts. The leader, a blonde haired male with pericing blue eyes is the first to attack. He runs forward and slashes the snake with his sword. Silent and Pink stay back. Both had a feeling something else was going to happen. Thier suspiciouns are confirmed when Silent is sent rolling across the ground. She groans softly and lifts her head up.

"Pink! Look out!" Silent cries.

Pink gets slashed along her back by a long sword. She yelps and collapses to the ground. Blood quickly seeps out of the wound and Silent growls loudly.

"What do you want?" Silent asks.

Sephiorth smirks and three members of the party turn around. One is the red wolf, another is Aeris, and the last is a young girl. The girl is slim and very agile looking. She has messed up brown hair with a bandanna on. her brown eyes sparkle with a hint of mischief. She's the youngest of the group, but don't let that fool you. She throws what appears to be an overgrown shuriken. Sephiorth sidesteps it but Silent rushes forward and pounces on him. He growls and as Silent tries to bite him, he throws her off of him. She lands on her back with a thud and lays still. An orb in Aeris' staff glows and a thunder bolt hits Sephiorth in the chest. He growls and rounds on her. The red wolf pounces on his back and the young girl throws her shuriken. The shuirken hits and the wolf gets a chance to slash at Sephiorth twice before he gets thrown off. The wolf lands beside Pink and look at her. Her breathing is raspy and blood from her wound had formed a pool around her. The young girl notices and throws her shuriken as she runs towards Pink and the red wolf. Silent slowly wakes up and notices Sephiorth is going to attack Aeris. She runs forward and pounces on him. She claws at his back and succeeds in ripping the skin before she's thrown off. She gets thrown at Aeris and both fall to the ground when the hit connects. The rest of the party members turn towards Sephiorth as the Midgar Zolom fades into nothing. The brown haired woman who had got knocked to the ground at the bennging of the battle helps Aeris up. Silent slowly stands up and runs towards Sephiorth.

"Stay away from them." She growls dangerously.

Sephiorth turns towards Silent with a smirk on his face. He holds out his hand. On that hand is a green orb. It glows and a black ball comes out and hits Silent. She gets thrown back and skids acorss the ground. When she finally comes to a stop, she lies still, her breathing raspy and her face pale. The red wolf, the young girl, and the brown haired woman rush forward. The woman unleashes a barrage of punches and kicks on Sephiorth and the red wolf pounces on him. The young girl throws her shuriken and the leader rushes forward and slashes him. A green orb on his sword hilt glows and Aeris lets out a cry. The area around Sephiorth grows hot and a wall of fire appears around him. It expands, hitting everyone. That is the last thing Silent remembers until she wakes up. When she does, she sees none of the party members. So that is why she decided to come to Fort Condor.

End Flashback

Elora had sat back and listened attentively. Now as Silent finishes her story, Elora looks over to her.

"Did Pink survive?" She asks.

Silent nods.

"That young girl and Nanaki healed her."

Elora lets out a soft laugh and stands up. She walks over to stairs and walks up them. Silent follows closely behind and looks confused.

"What?" She asks, twitching her tail in annoyance.

"Now that you know his real name, your going to call him that aren't you?"

A slight flush appears on Silent's face and Elora laughs again. She reachs the top of the stairs and sees a man. She immedailty reconizes it as the man from last night. He turns towards her and smiles.

"How do you feel?" He asks.

"A lot better.. Thankz a lot for your hospitality."

The man smiles and he gestures for her to come up beside her. She does and looks shocked as she looks out the window.

"Oh wow." She breaths.

She has a close up view of the pheniox on the top of the fort. It looks more beatiful then it did last night and now she can see that is has a nest.

"Oh wow. Thankz for letting me see it."

The man smiles and nods.

"We are quiet welcome."

Elora jumps down and smiles. She starts walking down the stairs with Silent behind her, but stops as the man calls her.

"Will you be leaving?" He asks.

Elora turns back and nods.

"I have to find my friends. They musy be worried sick about me."

The man nods and Elora walks down the stairs. She climbs down the two ropes and walks out in front of Fort Condor. She looks back and smiles happyily. She then turns and walks towards the nearest area. Unfortantly for her, that was a forest. Little did she know, somebody, other then her friends or Sephiorth, was looking for her.
