Hey all me again! Come to annoy the lot of ya! AGAIN! Anyway I'm suspended from school again for the same reasons : ( Way not fair. Got a letter this morning saying: 'dear parent or guardian, I am deeply disappointed to announce that once again your child C.R.C (my initials, I don't like my name, it's real freaky) has been involved in a serious fight and is now once again suspended. Please may you punish your child (like my parents are going to do anything if they're in cypress) and consult him to not do it again. Yours sincerely Mr. Steve Carlo. (Worse head teacher ever.)' Isn't it great! (Sarcasm biting people!) I would also like to add that I was in a fight but it was not serious, Leon stopped it before it got serious. He dragged me off and Jamie's mates dragged him away. Okay enough about me some info about the next chapter! D
Clouds now gone into hiding and Leon researches' about the loup garoux. But can he find out enough to stop another finding Cloud? Or will it all be for nothing if Cloud is taken away?
It might happen it a bit quickly at the beginning so I will apologise now. Sorry. Can we get on with it now?
Leons POV
The day after Cloud had left I sent everyone to finish up the work on the bailey, telling them I need to do some research for Cloud while he was away. Not a total lie, but nor was it the truth. I sighed heavily as I looked through the computer files with Tron on anything to do with the loup garoux. Why Cloud had told me, well not told me to research, was beyond me. Probably linked to why he had vanished. I sighed deeply when the message saying 'error: file nonexistent.' And smacked my fist against the keyboard. I muttered a quiet sorry to Tron then looked towards the doorway, Aerith smiled softly at me and walked over. "Cloud didn't leave you to research something for him did he?" she asked. I turned away. "You looking for something Cloud had said about." It was a statement not a question. I didn't bother answering. "Where is Cloud, Leon?" she asked firmly. I shrugged. "I don't know. He told me something I promised to keep secret and left." I was NOT going to tell her about the loup garoux. She'll jump to conclusions. Not a good idea. She shook her head and walked away. "The only place you will see anything on the loup garoux Leon, will be in the library."
I stared in shock at where Aerith had walked away then growled. "You better not tell anyone Aerith!!" I shouted. "I won't!" she yelled back. I sighed and raced towards the library. Entering the quiet room and looking through the L shelf as quick as possible. Finally seeing a book called 'The Legend Of The Loup Garoux Unveiled" and pulled it out. I walked over to a small table in the corner and began to read.
I blinked once I was finished, then blinked again. It still made no sense. The loup garoux was French for werewolf or shape shifters. People who can change into wolves if they believed. But only people born from a mother and father that were loup garoux can only be a loup garoux. All of a sudden it clicked in my mind. Why Cloud had vanished. That glare that man sent him, Cloud disappearing now and again. His hate for silver. His last two words... it all made sense. Cloud had vanished because somebody knew he was the last loup garoux, they had gone to hunt him down, and that man wants to kill Cloud, my Cloud. I felt anger burn within me. Anger to the man who would dare lay a finger on my Cloud. I had to find a way to get to Cloud first, wherever he was. I jumped when I saw Aerith, holding the keys to Apedemak, (stands for the lion god on a website I found :D) the bike that looked like clouds' bike Fenrir and was exactly the same power but was built for me by Cloud. Really strange but I love it all the same because it was made by my lovers talented hands heh. "Go rescue him." I nodded and stood up; I took the keys off her and frowned. "You really are strange Aerith." I muttered. She smiled. "I get to make sure everyone is alright though."
I raced through the cliffs towards the crystal fissure. Turning the bike off and coming to a stop when I saw the group hunting Cloud talking, the man that glanced at Cloud wasn't there. I looked around and saw him sneaking off. I turned the bike on quietly and drove up the cliff; I followed him on the cliff top as he ran through the crevice towards a forest which I never knew had existed. He stopped at the edge and loaded his gun with what looked like silver bullets, and I instantly knew Cloud was in deep trouble. He fired it into the air and it missed me and the bike by an inch. I watched him run in and pushed the bike over the edge, turning it to the side as it went down the steep side. I parked it and brought the gunblade out of the sword rack in the bike. I turned it off and followed the odd man, and then I heard a gunshot.
Clouds POV
I stopped Fenrir as I neared the edge of a peaceful lake. I got off and stretched my aching muscles, nonstop I had been riding. I listened to the soft crackle of deer's and other animals walking over dead brown leaves. My sense of smell could detect a small fawn a few yards away to my left. I thought about being a wolf and instantly changed into my wolf side. My beautiful white fur glowed in the dark woods; my eyes were as blue as the deep blue sea. I shook my fur and bounded off towards the animal.
I sat quietly by the lake further away from where my bike had been parked, my head on my paws and my eyes closed. I thought about Leon. I wished I didn't have to leave but I knew that that man would hunt me down if I wasn't careful. I sighed deeply and I heard a click of a gun. I looked for my bag them remembered I left with the bike. "Stupid," I barked as I stood up. Preparing myself for an attack, crouching low to the ground as my tail was raised a little. I growled as the man from before walked through the bushes, holding a rifle at me as he grinned evilly. "My friends wanted you to be in a show." I growled low, preparing myself to leap. "But your kind killed my family, I think you should rot in hell along with the rest!" the gun fired.
I jumped out of the way and knocked the gun out of his hands. I leapt to finish him off when he pulled out a knife made of pure silver and slashed me across my front leg and my nose. I moved out the way and whimpered. The sliver burning into me and entering my bloodstream made me whimper more. It scorched my leg so much. I struggled over to a tall tree and rested next to the trunk. The man scrambled and picked his gun up. I really wasn't caring. He aimed the gun at me. My sight began to blur when I felt tears fall. I wasn't going to see Aerith and Tifa again, I won't hear Yuffie laugh, won't hear Cid shout, and won't see Merlin mess up his spells. I won't see or hear Leon again. My eyes swelled more with tears at that thought. The man aimed the gun and was about to fire when something rushed out of the bushes and knocked him away, the bullet burying itself in the trunk of the tree I was leaning against higher up.
I whined and whimpered as I struggled up, only to fall back down as I changed back. My back to the fight. I heard steps, swords clashing, a yell and then silence. More steps occurred and I knew that I was going to die. I sobbed quietly and held onto my bleeding arm. "Please don't kill me," I whispered, I had never felt so scared in my life. I felt something glide across my cheek and flinched. "Why would I want to kill you?"
Leons' POV
I rammed into the tall dark haired man before he could attack the white wolf. I had a hunch that was Cloud, if not Cloud was probably going to get killed. I growled and jumped to my left only for the man to pull a blade out and block my attack. I jumped twice in the opposite direction and before he could catch up I whacked him on the back of his head with the hilt of the gunblade to knock him out. He yelled then total silence reigned over the woods. No birds singing, no animals moving. Nothing. I turned to where the wolf was and saw Cloud with his back to me. He was shaking with fear and the fabric the hung down his hip waved in the soft breeze. I took a small step then another and soon I was next to him.
I watched Cloud shiver quietly near the tree. He must have been hit, as I saw steam, smoke or something rise from him. I sighed and sat down next to the broken body. "Please don't kill me." my heart wrenched at the small soft, weak, plea Cloud had spoken. He must have thought that I was that man. I turned back to the unconscious body and then back to Cloud. I let my hand move smoothly across his cheek and he flinched. "Why would I kill you?" I asked quietly. The blonds' eyes opened weakly as he turned to me. "Leon?" he asked, my nod confirmed his question. His desire to know if I was really there or not. I was soon enveloped in an embrace, only it was slightly shaky. I returned the gesture and withdrew from the cuddle to inspect the wound. It was definitely from a weapon with silver. I growled quietly as he winced. "Where's your stuff to get rid of the silver?" (A/N: still no idea what it is.) I asked, he looked towards the west. "I left it with Fenrir while I went hunting." He mumbled. I lifted him up, against his protest, and walked in the direction he had pointed to.
"Fuck no." I growled. Cloud shook in my arms and opened his eyes. He looked towards Fenrir and growled pitifully. The bag was torn to pieces, something or someone had raided the bag and its contents was littered everywhere. The cure for the silver was most likely gone, and by the look in Clouds eyes I was right. Cloud shook in my arms then let out a hoarse yell and closed his eyes. His breathing had slowed to a stop.
Well, I had to end it somewhere. Tune in for the next chapter! i tried to make sure there wasn't any errors!! Hope you enjoyed it R&R!!!!
