Chapter 4

When Aerith awoke she found herself in a strange room. "Where am I?" She asked herself getting out of the strange bed that she was in. She felt her feet touch the cold wooden floor.

Walking out of the room she saw Auron slumped in an arm chair in front of the fire. 'That doesn't look comfortable.' She thought moving to the front of the chair. Even though she wasn't making any noise Auron still woke up.

Opening his eye's slowly he saw Aerith looking at him. "Some thing wrong?" He asked her still not entirly with it.

"No I was just wondering how you can sleep in that postition." She said. "Is this your place?" She asked trying to start a conversation.

Auron stood up out of the chair and moved into the kitchen. ( Just in case your wondering the kitchen is opposit the living room.) Making himself and Aerith a coffe he answerd. "Yes. How did you sleep?"

"Better than you did." She replied. "Thank you."

Auron turned to face her. "What for?" He asked handing her a drink and walking back into the living room.

"For not leaving me, bringing me here." She said sitting down on the sofa opposit the chair where Auron was sitting. "So. Are you still going to fight the Al bhed?"

Auron looked in thought for a minuite. "No. I'm not. After the way that strange Al bhed helped me save you, I wouldn't be able to fight." He said looking at the mug in his hands.

"That's good. I was raised by the Al bhed." Aerith said taking another sip from her mug.

Auron's eye's almost fell out of his head. This woman who he was getting a pretty bad crush on was raised by the Al bhed! Who he had been taught to be known as traitors. And she had saved his life and tryed to save others.

"Really?" He asked shock still evident in his voice.

Aerith looked up at him. "Yes. My parent's died when I was little, so the Al bhed looked after me." She explained.

"I'm sorry. I know what it's like to lose someone." He apologised.

Before Aerith could say anything there was a knock at the door. Auron stood up and walked into the hallway. "Braska!" She heard Auron say.

"Good to see you my friend." Another voice said. "This is Mirarge. My wife." The voice said.

She heard the door close. Auron walked into the room followed by Braska and Mirage. "Mirage!" Aerith greeted exitedly running up to her childhood friend.

"Aerith! How are you? What are you doing here?" Mirage asked. Hugging her.

Aerith pulled away laughing at Braska and Aurons shocked faces. "You two know each other?" Braska asked.

"Of course we know each other! Aerith and I are like sisters!" Mirage explained. "After her parent's died my parent's took her in." She carried on. "Braska don't stare with your mouth open."

Braska colsed his mouth and laughed. "You sound like my mother!"

"Auron don't copy him. She's right you know it's rude to stare with your mouth open." Aerith said walking over to Auron and closing his mouth.

After intoductions and explainations every one was enjoying the company of each other. "I'm just going up stairs for something." Aerith said standing up.

After a few seconds though every one heard a scream. They ran up stairs, but the only thing they found was a ransome note.

So what do ya'll think? I followed your advise blue moon faerie! Hope ya liked the chapter!
