Heyo, I'm back with another chapter. I know, it's been like a million years since I last updated. I'm so sorry, I never seem to have good enough ideas to write another chapter. This chapter might not be so good but I need to update for my fan, you so deserve one!

Chapter 4 The Story

After meeting up with Cloud and company, Shizuma and Tara decided to join them on their journey. Since they were both looking for Sephiroth it kind of made sense. About 2 weeks had past and they were now at Junon. Since they've been walking around the plains for 14 days, they've gotten to know each other a little better. For some strange reason Tara had really seemed to befriend Aeris while Shizuma seemed to dislike her. No one was quiet sure why but they never bothered to ask any questions.

The group stepped into Junon, relieved to be away from all the monsters and the hot sun. At least now they could restock on some supplies and get some rest.

"Finally got away from those damn monsters" said Tara while stretching. "Yeah, I'm kind of tired" Tifa was now yawning. "We should be able to rest here, so if you need some sleep I suggest we do that now" Shizuma now walked off to check out the place.

"Alright whoever needs some sleep, go and find a place with beds you can use. I'll go to the store and restock our items, were running out of potions and phoenix downs" said Cloud. Everyone agreed that Shizuma, Tifa, Red XIII and Tara would get some rest while the rest checked out the town and stocked up on items.

By the time Shizuma and Tara found the building where they could sleep. They found Red resting outside on the grass. When they went inside Tifa was already sleeping like a baby.

"Are you actually tired?" Shizuma groaned. "A little bit but not that much, you?" Tara replied. "No not at all" she said. "It's good you're not tired, because I've been waiting forever to ask you something" Shizuma now seemed to get excited. Tara simply laughed and nodded her head. "Well alright then, what's your question?".

"Well, umm I never really found out what happened to you. What did this Sephiroth guy do to you?" she asked. Tara's faced turned a little pale, she didn't expect that question and didn't really feel like explaining. But then again, Shizuma did accompany her for all this time, she sort of deserved an explanation.

Tara went over to one of the beds and sat the down; the story was going to take a while so she would be better off sitting on something soft then standing up the whole time.

"Alright…I'll tell you what happened. It's a long story so you better get comfortable" she laughed.

Tara started to explain what made her hate Sephiroth so much. It was all about Tara and her friend Cal wanting to join "Soldier". They passed the tests with flying colors and they really had seemed to have a good chance in getting the job. When they had one last trial they met up with Sephiroth. They had heard of his great skills so they were honoured to meet. As they were young and foolish, they kept raving on about how amazing he was, how they wanted to be just like him and they asked him tons of questions. He seemed really nice at the beginning; he answered all their questions with a sincere looking smile.

Their final trial was two weeks later (they had a lot of time to prepare). Tara was really excited about it. She went to do the test and when she was just about done she had got a message from one of the soldiers. It said how her roommate Cal was murdered during the trial. People had heard it was Sephiroth who killed him while others believed it was because he was weak and some crazed animals killed him. Aside the letter was the pentacle that she now has around her neck, the soldier who last spoke to Cal said that he wanted Tara to have it.

"Yeah but how do you know Sephiroth was the one who killed him?" Shizuma interrupted. "Be patient, I'm getting there" a few tears slid down her cheek. Shizuma nodded sort of wishing she didn't just burst out like that.

Tara then finished off the story by saying how she went to see Cal one last time to say goodbye. How could someone think he was killed by animal? You could clearly see the gash in his chest was made by a sword and a thin one too. It had to be Sephiroth he was the only one to wield such a sword. She only met him once but she could smell all over at that sight. She didn't know why Sephiroth killed Cal, what did Cal ever do to him? What was the reason why he killed him? Or he simply had a thirst for blood and he killed for the pleasure of it.

"That's why I have to find him. I need to know why he killed him and then destroy him for it there after" she clenched her fist. Shizuma looked down at the ground sadly "I understand, it makes sense. I would want to know too if it happened to me". Even though Shizuma had a story of her own that was pretty bad she believed enough things were said and enough painful tears were shed.

After the story they were actually tired. Tara grabbed the blanket from the bed and tried to go to sleep. Shizuma went over to the last remaining bed and drifted off to sleep.

Well there you have it, chapter 4 is now complete. I hope you enjoyed even though the idea was pretty lame. The chapter was even a little longer this time.

Oh I have a little surprise for you Shizuma, in the next chapter or chapter 6 something special is going to happen. I'll try to update a little faster next time!
