DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN FINAL FANTASY 7!

I'm glad you like the story so far. Hope you like the rest.


Reno's world came back fuzzy as a cold liquid was thrown on him. His first instinct was to get off whatever he was sitting on, only to find his body tied to it. He tried to speak but his mouth had tape on it, the only thing he could do is look around.

Seeing a man in the doorway sharpening a knife, walking towards him smiling. Reno moved again, trying to break the ropes that kept him from getting away.

The man laughed this time, bending down and pulling off his mask. Reno glares at him, muffling something the intruder can't understand.

He pulls the tape off fast causing Reno to yelp and gasp, taking quick breaths. "W-who are you...why are you doing this!?" The intruder continued to stare at him, remaining silent for a few short minutes.

"I'm a victim....of Sector 7." Reno's eyes widened at the man's words, trying to say something but coming up with nothing but another gasp as his side flared with pain.

"You're the one who destroyed Sector 7, you killed my family...And almost killed me. And that's why I'm here." Putting to the blade to Reno's neck, "It took me a few years but I found you, I've wanted to kill you for a long time Turk."

"Wait, I...I know what I d-did was wrong. But killing me won't solve anything." Reno said, moving his hands and finding the knot was a little loose.

'Maybe I can distract him.'

"It was my duty, I was ordered to destroy Sector 7. Killing me won't bring anyone back, and besides...if you kill me then you'll die next. The other Turks will find you." Reno continued, trying to make it convincing as he got one hand free.

"Killing you will avenge my family, friends and everyone else who died cause of your stupid orders. Don't you see, by killing you there will be one less murderer in the world?"

"But if you kill me you'll be a murderer as well...so why not turn the knife on yourself."

Reno got his other hand free, staying still as the man screamed. Throwing the knife forward, Reno brought his hands up and hit the man's arm.

Causing him to drop the knife, the chair Reno was in fell backwards. The fall making a leg break in two, one half fell to the ground while the other stuck up in the air.

Reno punched the man in his back, making him stumble and fall. The chair was behind him as he came down back first on the broken chair leg. Gasping as it broke through his skin, Reno sighed picking up the knife, hearing others coming to the room as he slipped behind the door.

He listened as their footsteps now entered the door, there were two of them. One pair of footsteps went to the corner where Reno was and the other walked around the room, Reno could hear his steps join the other at the corner.

Quietly coming out from behind the door Reno threw the knife up and plunged it into the back of one of his attackers, the other man turned but it was too late. Reno was already on him, stabbing him in the chest.

Both men fell as Reno looked around the corner, knife ready in his right hand and sweat going down his face. Reno turned the corner, walking slowly, listening for anyone else in the house.

He couldn't hear anymore footsteps as he walked into the living room, the floor still covered in broken glass and turned over furniture. He sighed again, running to the front door, keeping the knife in his hand as he went outside.

Running as fast as he could through the night, 'Barret and his daughter live two blocks from here.' he thought trying to concentrate on making those two blocks in one piece.

Looking ahead he could see the porch lights, Reno kept going until he collapsed against the door frame. Breathing heavily, wiping some sweat away and knocking on the door.

He could here small footsteps inside, the door opening to reveal Barret's 8 year old daughter Marlene. She smiled when she saw Reno but it turned into fear as her eyes moved, looking at the knife in his hand and blood coating his side. She turned back yelling for her dad.

"Marlene what-" Barret said running their way; seeing the red head in the doorway, he pulled Marlene back as Reno dropped the bloody knife, "Reno what's going on?" the large man asked before Reno's eyes rolled into his head and he fell forward.

-----

He heard muffled voices; he turned his head to the side hoping to silence them but heard them talking more. Reno groaned and opened his eyes, his surroundings a blur as he screamed and jumped away; afraid he was tied up again as he hit the wall gasping for breath.

The faces of people he knew came into his eyesight, two girls and two men. "Shh, Reno you safe now." the older woman spoke, his vision began to clear.

Tifa's worried face along with Marlene, Barret and Cloud were in front of him, Reno looked down seeing he was wearing a pair of black jeans and no shirt with bandages around his abdomen.

"What..Where..am I?" he asked with a broken voice, they could see he was afraid. "You're at the 7th Heaven" Tifa said running her hand through his hair, shushing him as if he were a child.

"Barret brought you here." she said letting go of him, Cloud bent down and spilled Reno's arm around his neck, "Just take it easy." he said in a caring voice as he stood up, practically dragging Reno back to the bed and laying him down.

Reno looked around, his eyes darting back and forth making sure there were no people hiding and waiting to kill him. Tifa rubbed his hand as if to relax him as Barret pulled the blanket over him.

Reno tries to speak, finally finding his voice. "People...in my house..Attacked m-me...tried to kill me..s-...sector 7 victim..." was he was able to say before he passed out.
