Cloud awoke in a frenzy, drenched with sweat. His blue eyes looked around his dark room to the window. The dark, cold ream of space gave him a simple peace of mind. If he was out here, Sephiroth could never find him, nor get to him. Cloud ran his fingers through his blonde, spiky hair; he shook the haunting image of his foe out of his head.
"Cloud? Are you awake yet? Cloud!" A female voice shouted though the metal door.
One of his eyes looked toward the door. Each pound of her fist made his eye twitch slightly; her banging was obviously annoying him. Cloud pressed two fingers to the temples of his head, trying his best to ignore her banging and shouting.
/Why the hell does Tifa always do this to me...? What the heck did I do to deserve this? He thoughts to himself as he slid off the bed and made his way to the door.
He pressed a lit, red button that caused the metal door to slide open. Tifa stood there in her usual black leather suit with her hands placed solely on her hips and a sharp scowl was on her face. Cloud wrinkled his nose and scoffed expecting to be fussed at by her about sleeping in late.
"Cloud, it's WAY,"
/I knew it...here it comes.../
"past the time you said you would be up. I was worried, I thought you had...or were,"
Cloud interrupted by putting a hand on her shoulder. "Tifa, I'm fine. No need to worry about me evey time I sleep." Tifa bit her lower lip and then spoke in a worried tone. "Cloud, you've changed since Sephiroth's death. That was like over two years ago, if he was still alive, he would of came after you by now."
A sharp sigh came from his lips as he put on a pair leather pants and leather boots. "Come on, let's just go and find the rest of them."
She had a worried look on her face as he walked past her without a single word. Cloud had become much more distant and to himself since the death of Sephiroth. The only person he could actually talk to was his foe's sister, Lilith. What those two would talk about could never be spoken to anyone.
The doors of the main control room opened to reveal a lower deck with many secondary controls to the ship and an upper deck just for the capitan and the main controls. The upper and lower deck was suspended over what seemed to be like a forest, filled with different trees, plants, and animals. The large windows were the eyes of the ship and revealed the deep void of space. Jenova was the ship's named and resembled the machine that Sephiroth used. Either one of the two twins could only operate the ship, but now, Lilith was in command.
Lilith had changed her appearance greatly since the death of her brother. Her hair was now dyed a deep violet and cut to fall just to her lower back. The top she was wearing was held up around her breasts by leather straps and covered them by a brown and red silk cloth. Six, thin, leather belts hooked her brown, bikini style bottom to her top. A sheer, dark violet skirt with red designs covered her sides but not the front. Her boots came up to the middle of her thighs, made up of a highly flexible metal, giving her the ability to easily bend her knees. A steel color metal was used to make three small hearts on each thigh and metal horns on each knee. Two leather belts were linked around her ankles.
The light reflected off her gold hoop earrings, making them twinkle and shine. One of her fingers were looped inside of her black leather choker. Her sparkling green eyes still carried the sadness of losing her brother, but the sadness was hidden behind a curtain of her happiness and joy, even her mysterious nature seemed to cloak her sadness. She had changed her name to Adora to help her new friends cope with her being related to their old foe for years.
Cloud walked up the stairs to the upper deck, trying to read the ancient language displayed on the screens. His fingers gripped around the belt and silver arm band covering her upper arm. Adora lightly jumped in surprise, turning her head to Cloud. Her voice was elegant and carried an alto tone, mixed with sorrow and mystery.
"Oh Cloud. How was your nap? Did you sleep well?"
A smile fell upon his lips as she spoke. /Well, at least she cares./
"I slept fine. I REALLY needed it."
Cloud's eyes glanced over the lower deck to find, no Vincent. He lifted an eyebrow, and thought about what the gunner could be up to.
"Vincent went to take a shower, if that is what you are wondering about." She spoke up, walking down the stairs and making her way out of the opposite door to which he came from. "Man the controls for me, thanks." With that she left the room.
Cloud stuttered to her and pointed a finger at the controls. "But I can't read this!" He bit down on his lower lip and shrugged his shoulders, sitting down in the comfortable and large black leather chair. A sigh of content came from his lips as he leaned back, placing his hands behind his head.
