Disclaimer: What's up reviewers! I'm sorry that I didn't update 3 chapies like I said... Hope you guys aren't that mad! And if anyone wants to be a Beta reader, sorry but a friend's already taken a place.

Tifa: Hey BR5, What's this chapter going to be about?

BR5: Well, I don't want to give too much so I'll just say this:

1. Just read it!

2. it's going to be long.

3. I'm not going to give you anymore hints! JUST READ IT!

Tifa: Hmm… Well that didn't help that much but at least it's going to be long!

BR5; Well, on with the fic!


A Changing Life

Tifa's POV

I was about to finish my line but it got over lapped be a yell, then a gunshot. I was about to move out of then way but I got pushed instead. After that, all I got was a small glimse of someone falling to the floor.

No! That was Cloud! I can't see him but I know he's in pain. I've got to help him before his injury gets worse than it could now. I had gotten my upper body off of the ground but someone grabbed me around my waist (with my arms on my sides) and held a cloth over my mouth.

I know what was happening now! Just what were they looking for and why were they after us? Or was it me they wanted? Oh no, they must've found out about me, but how?

(A/N what is Tifa keeping secret from her family and friends?)

I struggled to get free, but I was in no condition for fighting off his grip. I had also kicked him numerous times but that didn't work either.

I was about to yell out again but I got knocked out by something really hard. Before the darkness took over me, I told myself, "Remember, you'll never be alone, no matter what happens."

Aeris's POV

I woke up with a bad start. First, I remembered that I went to bed before Tifa came, so she might have talked to Cloud about stuff. For some reason I just don't trust her! But why?

Second, I heard a yell that seemed like Cloud's and then I heard a gun shot. Was Cloud shot? But why did he yell Tifa's name instead?

Well, it's pretty early (Around 6) and the sun is barely up so I guess I'll just get up and…. Wait! If I Cloud yelled Tifa's name and there's a gunshot, could have someone broke in and tried to kill Tifa?

Oh, Don't tell me that idiot guy nammed Yazoo thought I told him to kill her! I just said for him to tell her to back off. This isn't going to be good and counting on the gunshot, someone's hurt.

And that someone might be Cloud!

I had only gotten my shirt changed when I hear the front door close with a "Bang!" After that I knew that I was too late to see who really came here.

I forced on my favorite jean blue shorts and rushed down the stairs. The first thing I saw was blood, not covering everything but it was enough to freak me out!

Then I noticed Cloud on the floor with a small blood puddle around his arm. It seemed if he got shot instead of Tifa, and talking about that, Where is Tifa?

Well, I'm going to have to take care of Clouds' arm before I can get any answers for my many questions.

I had just picked up Clouds' arm when I feel a hard hit in my stomach.

Cloud's POV

For what it seemed like hours the scene had replayed in my mind, over and over again. I winced every time remembering my injured arm getting shot by the man. Who is he? Why did he come here? Why was he after Tifa?

I was about to think upon these questions when someone picks up my arm. Afraid that they had came back for me, I had puched them in the stomach.

I turned my head around to look at who it was. It was Aeris! Now in a bit of pain from my hard punch. It looks like she was caught off guard and I had accidentally hit her harder than I had thought.

"Oh, sorry Aeris, I didn't mean to hit that hard. I thought that you were the man who came and..." I trailed off.

"And what Cloud?" Her voice in alarm. She started to look around the room for a moment, but then said,"Cloud, Where's Tifa?"

"That's the thing Aeris! There was a man, he came in and was about to shoot Tifa when I pushed her out of the way and got hit myself." I said, now pointing at my bloody arm.

"Oh no. We have to go and find her, but first we need to fix your arm before it gets too infected." She said. She got up and started to look around the room for the first aid kit.

It took a while but she soon found it in the drawer under the sink. She walked up to me when I hear small foot steps soming down the stairs.

Oh great! The kids are coming down and I'm here, covered in blood, Tifa's been kidnapped, and Aeris , well, is searching for something in the kit.

"Aeris!" I had mannaged to whisper. "Can you hear the kids coming down the steps? I need you to try and persuade them to go back to bed.

"Okay, Ill try!" She said. She headded over to the stairs and I heard the footsteps stop.

Aeris's POV

"Hey, what are you two doing down here?" I asked the two very sleepy kids. "I thought I heard a gunshot." Said Marlene. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.

"And I thought I heard the door smack close, so we wanted to find out if we were right." Denzel said now trying to get a better look behind me.

I tried my best to cover up his path but sadly he saw through my arms and gasped.


I am so, so, so Sorry! That I didn't update for how long... ummm. I think about two months, but I was covered in homework... Anyway, I will try and update every 2 weeks. and if I don't update then, just send an e-mail to me and say... i don't know, like a flame at me because I didn't update.

Summary for the next chapter: What will Aeris and Cloud say to Marlene and Denzel? What will happen to Tifa? When will I update?

P.s Over the past few weeks, I have thought of another story to write so be aware of this!
