The next chapter, hope you enjoy .
She rolled around in her sleep as storm began outside the room she had been placed in. Her dreams being haunted by: Him! His lifeless eyes bearing down upon her as he chased her, wielding his sword effortlessly. She turned to see him rise up into the sky, and bring his sword down upon her, her blood splattering everywhere.
She screamed and sat upright in an unfamiliar bed, and a damp cloth slid off her head and into her lap. She picked up the cloth and began examining it, when the door of the room burst open, scaring her and causing her to scream and run to the other side of the room and press herself as close as she could to the wall. She could hear her heart thumping loudly in her chest as her eyes drifted over the form of a blonde, tall muscular man. It was Cloud, she remembered seeing him earlier, but she still couldn't seem to stop shaking. She knew he wouldn't hurt her but the dream had scared her. He watched her for a moment before taking a cautious step into the room. She clutched the cloth in her hand tightly and made her way closer to him.
"I… had a bad… dream…" She whispered sitting on the edge of the bed in front of him. He nodded his head slowly and regarded her shaken appearance. She turned to look at the window, it was dark outside and the rain spattered against the window. Her stomach grumbled and she blushed. His gloved hand reached out and gently took her smaller hand, compared to his. She looked at him confused and felt him gently tug her to stand, she did so and followed him down the stairs still clutching the cloth that was on her forehead.
Cloud glanced around at his friends as they all turned to watch him enter the room followed closely by the black haired girl, who seemed extremely nervous. The girl blushed as they all looked at her and attempted to hide behind Cloud.
"Hey Tifa, think you could heat up some of that leftover soup?" Cloud asked trying to usher the girl out from behind him, to sit her down. Tifa nodded and smiled, disappearing into the kitchen. Cloud finally managed to sit the girl in a chair but as soon as he turned to move away, she grabbed the back of his shirt and refused to let go. The children Marlene and Denzel watched the girl with interest, while the other stared wondering about who she was. Tifa came back with the soup and placed it in front of the girl. She gave a small giggle at the scene before her, Cloud was trying to pry the girls fingers off his shirt, but once she did she grabbed his shirt with her other hand. He sighed giving up and sitting beside her. She eventually let go and began eating her soup.
"So… what's your name beautiful?" Reno asked, gaining a glare and a kick in the leg from most of the group. The girl stared at him for a while before swallowing her mouthful of soup.
"Lyia…" She whispered staring at her soup, while they all watched her hoping she would say more. Vincent felt like there was something unique about this girl, something that felt familiar but only when he had been around Aerith, the half Ancient.
"Your part Ancient aren't you?" Asked Vincent regarding the girl closely. She looked up and straight into his eyes before nodded honestly. Causing a few gasps from the group and Cloud to stare at her in shock.
