A/N: Sorry! Writer's block and disconnection of the Internet had me stuck for a very long time. Please accept my apologies, read, and review! Advent Children! AAAHHH! Runs and drools over printed paper of Advent Children info.

The night was gorgeous. The stars were brilliantly showing, the moon was full and just about glowing, and the forest was alive with night life. Everyone was happy enjoying their free night. Vincent smiled warmly at Loren before leaving into the depths of the forest to find dinner. Cloud and Tifa were sitting next to each other holding hands. Everyone seemed fairly relaxed and happy. There was only one blemish. Meteor. Yuffie growled in frustration.

"Dang it, why does Meteor have to be in the way of such a beautiful night?"

Loren shrugged.

"I don't know, but it really ruins the great scene. I never thought Meteor to be so ugly in the sky. I only knew it to be a 2-D fireball that never went away, no matter how many days I played."

Yuffie laughed and hugged her 'sister'.

"Yea, Meteor is ugly alright! I just want it to be gone. You'll help us do that, right?"

"Of course I will."

Yuffie gave Loren another hug and bounded off to tease Cloud for having spiky hair and a jumbo sword. Loren looked around the makeshift campsite to see how everyone was. The atmosphere of the place was relaxed and a little joyful. The aura changed though when she looked over at the fire.

Vincent stood next to the fire, roasting an unknown meat. Loren walked over to him.

"Vin, what are you cooking?"

He gave her an impassive stare and looked back into the fire.

"Food. That's all you need to know."

Loren backed off a few steps and gave him a hurt look.

"Geez, I only wanted to know what you're cooking."

"Why do you need to know? It's food. If you can eat it, it should be alright."

"Why are you acting so badly towards me? What did I do wrong?"

'Yes, Vincent. What did she do wrong?'

"Shut up."

Loren took a step forward and began to get angry.

"Excuse me?"

'Come now, Vincent. The lady is asking you a question. You best answer it.'

"I said shut up!"

Vincent's vision began to blur as he continued to argue with Chaos as he had been doing ever since Sephiroth hurt Loren. Loren got up in his face and clenched her fists, now completely angered and beginning to fume.

'Ooh, the girl is angry. I think she's going to hit you if you don't answer. If she does, she'll be sorry!'

"Don't even think about it."

Loren was a good shade of red now.

"You think you can block me? Come on!"

She launched her fist into his face, sending him stumbling to the ground. He got back on his hands and knees, shaking his head. He shook for a minute, trying to fight off Chaos, but it was in vain. He slowly lifted his head, giving an inhuman growl. His crimson eyes glowed brightly as he began to change into Chaos. Loren ran over to Cloud, asking for a spare sword. He handed her the Murasame and asked why she needed it. She didn't answer and ran back over to Vincent, who was now Chaos.

Loren couldn't explain it, but she felt an avid bloodlust running through her veins. She felt if she cut Chaos, she would feel as if she had gotten an enormous amount of power. The Murasame felt suddenly light as she charged the demon. Her speed quickened and, leaping into the air, she brought her sword down on Chaos. Not expecting such a burst of speed, the sword cut into the demon's shoulder, rendering it immobile. It screamed in pain and Loren screamed in delight. She jumped over his shoulder, bringing the sword with her. Before the demon could even begin to recover, Loren quickly dismembered his wings, sending blood gushing to the floor. Loren was drenched in it, and she laughed gleefully as Chaos writhed on the ground. She stepped up to Chaos, sneering as he turned back into Vincent. She pointed the sword at his chest and said sinisterly, "You shouldn't have spoken to him like that, Vincent." And she rammed the sword into his chest. His eyes flew open in pained surprise. He looked at her in stunned silence. He then finally spoke.

"Loren…why…?" And then he was dead.

Everyone stared on in shock. Cloud quickly noticed a familiar green tinge to her eyes before it faded. Cloud's brows furrowed in concern. 'Sephiroth…' The sword fell limp in Loren's hands and she fell to her knees. She slowly looked at her hands and began to shriek in fright.

"What is this! Why am I covered in blood! Why…!"

She looked further up and saw Vincent's bloody corpse. She yelled out in shock and quickly crawled over to him.

"What happened! What have I done! Will somebody get a Phoenix Down!"

Red XIII cautiously padded over to Loren, holding a Phoenix Down in his mouth. She quickly snatched it from him and placed it on top of Vincent. When the feather touched him, it quickly caught fire and engulfed him in flames. Loren screamed again and pointed at him.

"What the hell! Why is Vincent on fire when we used a Phoenix Down?"

The question was answered when the flames made the shape of a phoenix before dying out. When the flames were completely gone Vincent breathed once again. All traces of blood on his body were gone, unlike Loren. She proceeded to throw herself on him and begin to cry. Cloud and Barret plucked her off him for fear of her going berserk again. She began to twist and struggle with a passion.

"Let me go, damn it! Why are you keeping me from him?"

Cloud signaled for Barret to let go. He did and Cloud quickly pinned her to the ground with his weight. He leaned close to her and muttered in her ear, "I saw your eyes. Don't think something as obvious as that would slip past me."

She struggled against him.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't remember anything past asking you for a sword."

"Nice try…Sephiroth. I know you're in control of her again. Let her go now."

Loren struggled even harder.

"Cloud! Sephiroth is not in me! He had control a while ago back at my apartment but that was it! Just let go!"

"I don't think so. I saw your eyes. You had possession of her. I saw your evil green eyes in her. I'm not stupid."

"I don't…know…what…you're…talking about! So just let…me…GO!"

Cloud gasped as her eyes flashed green again and with sudden strength, she threw him off her. She got up, heaving and gasping. Her eyes had returned to their normal grey hue and she stumbled over to Vincent, not noticing his nakedness. She caressed his raven hair and spoke to him in soothing tones.

"Vincent…come on…I know you're alive…speak to me…just open your eyes and acknowledge that I'm here."

Vincent mumbled something and his eyes slowly opened. When he saw her, he rose immediately from her grasp and backed away. His mind was still a little shaky when he looked at her.

"Eyes…green…died….away…get…away…Loren…away…"

She took a hesitant step towards him.

"Vincent…?"

His eyes widened in fear.

"AWAY…AWAY…AWAY!"

Loren backed away in hurt and felt angry tears burning in the corners of her eyes. She lowered her head and looked at her hands. She shook slightly.

"It wasn't supposed to be this way…it wasn't…"

When she raised her eyes to look at Vincent, they were green again. Everyone backed away in fright.

"IT WAS NOT!"

She turned around and ran off into the forest. Yuffie screamed after her.

"SISTER!"

Cloud held Yuffie back and bade her to escort Vincent to the tent they had set up a while back. Cloud could only wonder where Loren had run off to.
