I do not own Final Fantasy

Sorry this chapter is late, I was busy over the past days so I hope this chapter will make it up to you.

Italics = flashback

normal writing = reality

"What's wrong sweetie," a soft voice asked Cloud who was hiding under his bed. Cloud didn't reply. The women sighed and moved closer to the bed and knelt down on the floor "If you tell me then I will make you anything you want." the voice said. After a few minuets of silence and quiet voice mumbled something. "Sorry, what did you say," the voice asked Cloud.

"You promise." the child said a bit louder. The women smiled.

"Yes I promise Cloud," she said. Cloud came out from underneath his bed and wrapped his small arms around the women. He sobbed into her shoulder, "It's okay sweetie, I got you don't worry." she said to try and calm Cloud down. Cloud took his head of her shoulder and looked at the women. She wiped away the tears that were streaming down Clouds face.

"Do you want to tell me what happened," she asked Cloud whilst stroking his odd blonde hair as comfort for the small boy.

"I just wanted to make friends and every time I try to they end up calling me names and ignoring me, I don't know what I have done to make them hate me." Cloud said to the women with tears threatening to come out.

"I know –"

"NO, you don't know what it's like!" Cloud shouted at the women and ripped himself out of her arms and ran out the room and run off outside.

"CLOUD!" the women shouted as she went after Cloud, "CLOUD....please come back." she said as she watched as Cloud ran away for the millionth time.

"Cloud..."

"Cloud, Cloud...Cloud wake up...c'mon man wake up," a familiar voice said as I felt someone shake my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see a pair of blue eyes and bright red hair in my face. "there you are, I was wondering when you were going to get up," Reno said, "I got worried for a moment you were mumbling something in your sleep and you almost hit me as well." he said with concern.

"Sorry," I mumble and got up from my laying down position, "how the hell did you get in." I asked Reno whilst rubbing my eyes.

"I got in through you window, ya know you should really close those things at night." Reno said to me. I just sighed. Wait how did Sephiroth not smell him. "Oh and if you were wondering about Sephiroth, he went out for the night and asked me to look after you," Reno told me.

"Okay did he tell you where he was going," I asked Reno. He just shook his head. Great. I got out of bed and walked over to my wardrobe and got out some fresh clothes. "Do you mind stepping out of the room for a bit so I can get dressed."

"Sure and after you dressed we can go and get something to eat." he said then he walked out of my room. I started to take my top and undo the buttons of my jeans. Why did I sleep in my clothes in the first place. I took of my jeans and threw them into the basket. I put on my favourite blue t-shirt and black jeans and black shoes on. I walked out of my room to find Reno was waiting for me.

"You ready now," he asked me. I simply nodded and with that we left.

Me and Reno arrived at a old café. Even thought I am a vampire as well as Reno, we can still eat human food, but because I am a young vampire I don't need as much blood as a regular vampire like Reno and Sephiroth. We sat down at the table and looked at the menus on the side. After a while of deciding what we wanted the waiter came up to us.

"What would you like to order." a tall man with dark hair asked us. The man looked like he was middle aged and he stared a me waiting for me to order.

"Can I have a burger and a coke please." I told the man. He moved over to Reno and asked the same question.

"I'll have what he's having." Reno said, I noticed as Reno moved closer towards me when the guy was ordering our food. He sure is a strange man for his age. The waiter left and I noticed he glanced back at us as he walked away. "After we have this we'll leave straight away because I don't like the look of that man, he gave of a strange vibe as he was over here." Reno said quietly to me.

After a few minuets of waiting the food finally arrived. We ate our food and paid for the bill then left quickly. On our way back to my place Reno came across a strange sent that was close by. He grabbed my hand and held onto it. "Reno what are you doing." I asked him. He didn't answer me and carried dragging me along. I've never seen him like this before.

Reno came to a sudden halt. "Cloud I need you to do something for me," he asked me, "I need you to hide over there and stay quiet." Reno said, before I could answer he pushed me the nearest corner and hide me behind a bin. He placed his coat on me and left. He stood in the middle of the empty street.

"It's nice of you to drop by again Vincent," I heard Reno say to this guy named Vincent. He had black longish hair, red eyes and pale skin. He definitely was a vampire.

"Nice to see you to Reno, is this what I get for a welcoming party hmm?" Vincent said, "where is your friend, it seems you haven't introduced me to him, yet, what's his name again...Cloud. I heard that Sephiroth took that child in. Who would've thought that Sephiroth could be like that, between you and me I think he going a bit too soft. It's about time someone over throws him, don't you think Reno."

I heard Reno growl, which is strange to hear from him. "We both know that can't happen" Reno growled, "as long as he has blood, he is stronger than you can ever be." I heard Vincent chuckle.

"But what would happen if his precious orphan he took so much care of disappeared, isn't that right Cloud," Vincent said looking into the direction I was hiding. Before I knew it a pair of hands grabbed me from behind and dragged me out of the corner and pushed me to the ground where Vincent was standing. Reno went to help me up, but was stopped when I felt a gun being pressed to my head

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Vincent warned Reno and he stopped and took a step back. Vincent bent down and stroked my cheek, "it would be a pity if you got hurt Cloud." and with that I felt a sudden pain in the back of my head and a faint scream before I fell unconscious.
