Chapter 4- His name is

My dreams were plagued with nightmares of my past. Of what happened to my family. Everything that happened to them was because of me. Everything. I was shaking when I woke up sitting straight up and in a cold sweat. It was the second week of me and Bast staying here with Tifa and Cloud. They were good to us, but Tifa knew someone was after Bast and me. A man from Shinra. Not Shinra himself, or the Turks, but a man who leads a group of evil Turks. I saw Bast still sleeping beside me and I smiled. She was still safe. So I got up and around for the day before heading upstairs to the bar. Tifa had given me a job as waitress for her so I could make some money.

When I arrived in the bar, I saw that Tifa was already up and ready to open 7th Heaven. "Hi Tifa!" I yawned as I sat on a stool. She glanced at me, showing a small smile. "Hello Luna," She answered going back to her washing of dishes. I stretched my arms and looked around the empty bar. "Where's Cloud?" I asked, noticing that a certain spiky blonde was missing. She looked at me again. "He's on his deliveries." She told me. We sat in silence for a little bit before my stomach growled. "Hungry much?" She asked while laughing. I laughed too. "Yeah, I'm starving!" I answered. "What'll it be?" I thought about it for a moment, and then came up with the perfect thing. "An omelet and a cup of hot chocolate!" I told her with the biggest smile I'd smiled in years.

She made my breakfast silently and when I got my food, a small yawn was heard from the staircase. Tifa looked over and smiled. "Good morning Denzel. What are you doing up so early?" Tifa greeted walking over to him. "Hmm? Oh, I got hungry and Marlene was talking in her sleep and it annoyed me." He explained sitting next to me and yawning again. Tifa laughed and turned back to the stove. "What do you want to eat Denzel?" She asked him. "Cereal." Was his simple answer. "Okay," In a matter of minutes his cereal was laid out before him and he started eating. Tifa cooked herself some eggs and sat down next to me.

While I ate, I heard Tifa sigh. I looked up and saw she was looking out the window. It was starting to sprinkle. She had a frown on her face. "What's the matter Tifa?" I asked taking another bite of my omelet. "Well it's raining, and Cloud's out on his motorcycle. I just hope he doesn't get in a wreck or anything." She told me worriedly. I nodded and took a sip of my chocolate drink. "He won't wreck." Denzel stated. "Hmm?" I asked looking over at him. He looked at Tifa with a completely confident look on his face. "He's good on his motorcycle, you know that. So, he won't wreck." He told us. Tifa nodded and went back to work. I started my shift as I finished breakfast. The first thing Tifa had me do was the dishes. When she opened up, it was packed. I was working the whole day. At 8:00 p.m. Tifa closed up.

It was still raining. "Wow, that was a long day!" I sighed as I sat on a barstool. "Tifa can I have another hot coco?" I asked her. She looked at me and smiled. "Of course!" She told me and hurried into the kitchen. When she came back in, she handed me the coco. "Thanks!" I told her as she went to cleaning up the room. As I went to take a sip of my hot chocolate, I saw a black blur speed by. Normally, I wouldn't think anything of it. Except that there was also a blur of blonde spiky hair and navy blue clothing. It happened so fast; I thought I had imagined it. But just to be sure, I stood up and walked towards the front door. "Where are you going?" Tifa asked me. I turned and looked at her. "Well, it's raining and I like to go on walks in the rain." I explained to her. It was partially true so at least I wasn't lying. "Mmhmm. Just be back before the kids go to sleep. Which is in an hour!" She told me as I headed out the door.

As soon as I cleared the porch, I broke into a run. My hair flapped out behind me and I ran behind a building. To people passing by (which there was none) it would have looked like a girl ran behind a building, only to disappear and have a wolf take her place. But to me, it was so much different. To me, I was running, never once stopping. Then bending over and having my feet and hands turn into paws. I got smaller until I was a normal wolf size. Fur grew on my back and my eyes grew sharper. My ears went back until they were pointy and staying close to my head.

I felt the wind as I gained more speed. Soon, I was close behind the motorcycle that had passed 7th Heaven. As I had guessed, it was Cloud. Wasn't he supposed to be on deliveries? I asked myself. I stayed a little ways behind him, just in case he turned around to look. To my great luck he didn't. But there was also some bad news. It started to downpour. I hoped that wherever he was going, we were close. My fur was soaked and it clung to me. It felt bad, but I kept running anyways. About 5 minutes after running, Cloud's motorcycle slowed down as we got close to, what looked like, an old broken down church.

I didn't once slow down. Instead I ran up a pile of debris. I looked to my left and saw Cloud parking his motorcycle. Then I looked to my right. To my great excitement, the full moon was up and right behind me. I faced it sideways and sat down. Lifting my head into the air, I howled.

~No one's POV~

Cloud got off his motorcycle and started towards the church. Just as he was about to enter the church, he heard rustling. He turned swiftly to look behind him and saw nothing. As he turned back towards the church, a wolf's howl cut through the night air. It was absolutely amazing. He stood there and watched the wolf howl, the full moon behind it making the wolf look like a silhouette. It was truly a sight to behold. In time, the wolf's howl ceased. As Cloud was turning to, once again, enter the church, the wolf turned and looked at him. At first, he wasn't alarmed. I mean, common, it's just a wolf, right? Yeah, right, he didn't even know how wrong he was. As the wolf looked at Cloud, he noticed something odd. Its gaze was piercing, just like someone else's that he knew. He just couldn't place it. Cloud's eyes locked with the wolves' and he gasped.

He had never in his entire life seen anything like it. He shouldn't have been surprised; he should have guessed who this wolf was. But he didn't. What he saw was its eyes. Eyes that he should've known. Purple eyes. For a second he thought he had seen those eyes before, but he had never seen this wolf before in his life. The wolf turned swiftly away from him, and Cloud, shrugging it off, entered the church.

~Luna's POV…again~

I couldn't believe what had just happened. Cloud had seen me. Busted. Or maybe he didn't recognize me. He only locked eyes with me for a few seconds anyways. But those seconds felt like years. And he didn't yell, he just walked into the church. My thoughts were as confusing as what had just happened. I was totally stupefied. I was certain he would catch me. I bounded down the hill of debris and padded up towards the front of the church.

I saw that the door was slightly open, so I just squeezed through. As I padded into the church, I saw a bunch of wooded benches. Some knocked down, some broken, and some intake and still sitting upright. In the front of the church, there was a pool of clear blue water, and beside it a patch of lily flowers. Cloud was standing on the edge of the pool. Just looking at the water. Suddenly, I felt wind come from nowhere and with it, a whisper. 'You're not alone' I heard a woman's voice whisper. I shivered and walked behind a pile of broken benches. Crouching down, I shifted back into a human. My clothes were a little bit wrinkled I noticed, but that was fine. The thing I was worried about was my hair. It was windblown and a mess. So I combed it with my fingers. (Authors note: sorry, Luna had to have a girly moment, she doesn't get those often so don't worry!) I stood up and carefully and slowly walked over to where Cloud stood. I made it all the way to him without being detected. I even saw that his eyes were shut. That was a good thing.

Deciding to take the only chance I might have, I spoke. "So…what are you doing here?" I asked, placing my hands behind my back. He quickly turned around, his hand on the hilt of his sword. I chuckled a little, cause I guess I scared him a bit. He eyed me for a second then took his hand off his sword. "I should ask you the same thing." He told me. I thought about that for a minute. "Well, no actually, I asked you first. But why aren't you on your deliveries?" I answered. There was a moment of silence. It was so quiet, you could hear the rain on what little roof there was. He shifted his footing and looked at the ground. "I finished them." I swear, he was acting like a little kid! And, I guess I was acting like his mom. But I was just trying to figure something out! No need to be ashamed, I told myself.

"Oh OK, so why did you come here?" I asked again. He looked up and our eyes locked again. Something there startled him and he took a step back. "I know now! Your eyes are…" I cut him off because I slapped my hand over his mouth to shut him up. I was getting slightly upset because he wasn't answering me. ".?" I asked him through gritted teeth. He was being stubborn. He ripped my hand away and glared at me. "Luna, I'm here because of my best friend. Her name is Aerith, and she died a few years ago. She loved this place. I come here to visit her. Now can you tell me why you're here?" I stood stock still as he told me all of this. Two things shocked me. One, I didn't think he could even talk that much. And two, I didn't know about this Aerith.

I sighed and decided to tell him half the truth. "Well, as you can see, it's raining and when it rains I like to go on walks. While on my walk, I heard a wolf howl, so I followed the noise and saw your motorcycle sitting outside of this old run-down church and decided to come in." No, it's not exactly the truth, but it'll do. I mean, its not like I could just tell him I was following him and on top of that, I was a wolf! He looked at me doubtfully. "But how could you be away from the wolf, when you are the wolf?" He asked. I froze on spot.

How did he know that? No, he can't know, I just have to lie. That's that. I shook my head. "But I'm not the wolf!" I told him. He sighed and shook his head. "The night you came to Tifa's bar, I remember you saying something about turning into a wolf. I recognized the wolfs' eyes, but didn't remember whose eyes they were till I saw yours again. Now if you would excuse me, I'm going back to the bar and if you're gonna lie about anything you can help yourself." He walked past me and started towards the door. Acting out of instinct, I turned and grabbed his arm. He stopped and looked at me. "Some one's after me. He's coming, I'm not sure when but he's coming. He'll kill me. And Bast. You gotta help us, we're alone!" I whispered feeling tears come to my eyes.

We stood in silence for a bit before Cloud asked a simple question. "Who is it?" I grinned, but not out of happiness. Out of bitterness for the man who caused my family and me so much grief. "His name is…"
