-1I would kill for you to love me

Kat fell down to the trees below only faintly awake. She hit the tree canopy crashing down branches snapping on the way then hit the ground with a rigged snap. Pain shot up Kat's arm and she fainted before she could take in anything else. Her body mingled half transformed on the forest floor. From the darkness whispers so faint they could not be herd as words. And from the darkness something advanced towards Kat.

[Meanwhile: at the Forgotten City

Chaos had made few strikes to Sephiroth as his wounds were healing slower than Sephiroth could dish them out. Chaos about to strike Sephiroth across the face halted when he halted with a slight gasp. Sephiroth smiled evilly as he pulled his Massume from Chaos's stomach. When the blade was free Chaos collapsed to the ground eyes wide with shock. Until he closed his eyes and changed back to Vincent not moving with the stab to his stomach still bleeding fluently.

"You should have given up when she couldn't remember you." Sephiroth said as he turned to the forest of glowing trees. "Now where did you go Kat?" He said heading back to the Forgotten City leaving Vincent to die.

[Shin-ra Labs

Aya walked into Hojo's lab and looked around with disgusted look.

"And who might you be?" Hojo asked looking up from his work. Aya looked at him and said with a slight grin.

"My name doesn't matter all you need to do is make me better than your little run away project. I'll bring it back for you then, it might even be happy to see me. We go way back." An evil smile came on Hojo's face and he said.

"I can get you done in a few days. But tell me where you friends with my latest project? I can't guarantee that she wont die when I am doing my tests."

"We were, but that thing betrayed me so I don't care what happens to it now." Aya said with a look of pure hate.

"Very well then, lets get to work."

[In the forest with Kat

From the shadows three Viera's walked out and stood around Kat.

"What is this thing?" One of the Viera's asked her comrades.

"It looks partly human." Another said.

"It doesn't matter what it is. If it is dead then we should just leave it hear." The last one said. A breeze went through the group with it carried the whispers of the trees.

.: Its not dead :.

The Viera looked at each other for a moment then one said.

"Then we will help this beast."

"This thing will leave when it regains its strength and will give out the location of our camp. We can't risk that." One protested.

"We made an oath to help those we found in need. Will you betray the very oath that gave you this refuge?" One said in a harsh voice. The Viera that protested sighed.

"Well lets get going." She said as she lifted Kat up her wings dragging on the forest floor as they went. Once at the camp Kat was taken into a shelter made of stone and dead tree branches. The next morning Kat woke fully human as she tried to sit up pain stabbed through her as a scab on her back was reopened. Clenching her teeth she forced herself up. Around her was a lush green forest camp filled with Viera going about their work. One was walking in front of the shelter that Kat was in with a basket of apples. He paused and looked at her. Taking an apple from the basket he tossed it to her.

" Go on and eat it human." Then he continued on. Kat took the apple and took a bite from it and was amazed. The apple was so much sweeter than any she had ever had.

Don't think that the rest of them will be nice to give you any kindness like him. Its clear that they are cautious of us, they are probably hiding here from the world and the Viera city.

"Why would they hide from both worlds?" Kat asked in a whisper to Rage.

When a Viera leaves the Viera City then they can never go back even if they become terrified of our world. So they made their own camp to substitute for their old home.

Kat frowned.

"That doesn't make since." Kat said to herself.

"No you don't make since. We found you as a half demon beast and now you are a human." A Viera with long hair and one ear spotted said as she sat down outside the shelter. (shelter has a roof just no walls)

"What? Oh…that's right…" Kat said looking down at her half eaten apple.

Careful what you tell them. I don't think that they would like to know that the person they let into their camp is being looked for.

"Well what are you? You must be something from far off if the forest has never seen a human that can turn into a half demon." The Viera said.

"I'm a hu-…well I was human."

"Then what happened? How can you change race? That's not possible."

This hit a nerve in Kat.

"Shin-ra made me this way, all on the thought that I am a Cetra. They put me in those god forsaken labs and Hojo made me this thing I am now!" Kat yelled losing her temper.

The Viera around glared at Kat.

Great job Kat you gave everything away. Rage said. The Viera in front of Kat glared and stood up and said.

"You need to leave our camp. And if what you say is true then we cant risk you being here. Shin-ra will find you here and they will destroy everything we have done. You have to leave now."

"Take her to the end of our land then let her go back alone!" One yelled from across the camp.

"We should just kill her now! She will lead the Humans back here!" A male in armor said.

"What do we do now?" Kat asked Rage.

You can't do anything so let me handle this since they seem to want to kill you.

"Ok I'll let you handle it." Kat said.

"Who are you talking to!" The girl Viera in front of Kat yelled. Then drew back in fear as Kat changed fully into Rage.

"Now I don't think this is what being a good host is considered."

"Leave our camp or we will force you to." the Viera guy in armor said as the others gathered around.

"Well I don't think that I would tell Shin-ra where you are anyways. And I don't want to leave these apples aren't half bad. What if I don't leave?"

"Then we will have to kill you." the Viera said taking a fighting stance.

"One against 20? That's not very nice. I guess that you cant really let me have your apples now can you?" The Viera glared and were about to attack.

"Fine fine I see I am not wanted. I'll leave now." Rage said as she spread her wings and took off. Soon she was above the canopy of the forest.

"See I told you I would handle it. Now want to go to the Forgotten City and see if Sephiroth took care of Vincent?"

'And what choice do I have?' Kat said. Rage smiled and swooped down to the Forgotten City. When she landed she turned back into Kat. From where Kat stood she could see no one. Kat walked to the waters edge and looked at her reflection. She closed her eyes and sighed. Everything had gotten so complicated recently. Kat herd someone approach from behind her and she turned to see Sephiroth. Kat felt a pang of disappointment that Sephiroth was standing there and not Vincent.

"Kat are you alright?" He asked walking over to Kat.

"Where is Vincent?" Kat asked looking back at the water.

"When I left him he was badly wounded in the forest. I was only protecting you Kat."

Kats fists were shaking and she said in a bitter tone.

"Protecting me from what? Being caught by Shin-ra or from remembering my past by killing the man I love?"

"Kat-" Sephiroth was cut off.

"I don't want to hear it! You killed Vincent and are keeping me from my friends Sephiroth. And you know what I still don't love you!" Kat yelled making a run for it before Sephiroth could stop her. Kat slowed down once she was away from the Forgotten City. When she took a step forwards she was in the same white place with nothing around. Aerith spoke from behind Kat.

"Only you can do what will become clear Kat. Find Vincent, he does not have much longer."

"Aerith where is Vincent!" Kat said turning around to be back in the forest alone.

Kat looked around her for any clues as to where Vincent might be but she only saw the forest.

"Vincent!" Kat yelled hoping for a reply, none came.

Rage help me! We have to find him.

Kat I cant come out every time things get hard you have to find him on your own.

Kat took off into the forest looking for Vincent or any sign of him. Kat got to the main road leading to the Forgotten City and saw on one of the glowing trees splattered blood.

Looking down the road Kat saw Vincent lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood.

"Vincent." Kat said as she ran over to him. She pulled his arm across her shoulders and started to drag his body back to Midgar. By the time Kat saw the lights of the city it was raining and Vincent's breathing was faint.

[Shin-ra Labs

"I told you I wanted to look the same way I was!" Aya yelled throwing a lab table across the room. Hojo glared at Aya and said.

"You were the one wanting to have the Jenova cells. You knew that it might happen."

"Damn it that thing isn't going to think that I just came here if my eyes are like this!"

"Then make up some tragic story of how you were taken here because you were looking for you friend and you had information or something." Hojo said getting back to his work. Aya glared at him then left slamming the door as she went. When Aya got back to the Turks rooms she went to the bathroom and locked the door. Looking in the mirror at her blue-green cat eyes she sighed. She had to think of a story that Kat would believe.

[Seventh Heaven

By the time that Kat got Vincent to the Seventh Heaven it was closed for the night. With Kats free hand she knocked none stop till she saw Tifa walk downstairs and see them at the door.

"What happened?" Tifa asked franticly as she helped Kat bring Vincent in.

"I just found him like this." Kat said deciding that she would tell them that Sephiroth attacked Vincent later. When Vincent was upstairs in the spare room everyone was up and helping cover Vincent's injuries. Yuffie and Cid even came over to help after Tifa called and told them what happened. Tifa had Kat stay downstairs at the bar while they tended to Vincent. Cid was there too and was supposed to pry Kat for information.

"So what happened to Vincent?"

"I found him like that in the main road to the Forgotten City." Kat said watching the stairs.

"Did you do that to him?" Cid asked wondering if Kat would almost kill him then bring him here.

"No."

"Why did you bring him here then?"

"I don't know." Before Cid could ask anything else Tifa walked downstairs and said.

"Well he is going to be here for a while with the extent of his wounds. But for now he should recover."

"Well that's good." Cid said. Kat sat there at the bar silent hoping they would just forget that she was there.

"Kat, why did you bring Vincent here if you think we killed your parents?" Tifa asked as Cloud and Yuffie walked back down stairs. Kat hesitated.

"I…I just remembered everything."

"That's great!" Yuffie said. Cid gave Kat a hard pat on the back and said.

"We knew ya would come to kid." Cloud just nodded.

" I'm going to go check on Vincent." Kat said standing up and heading to the spare room. Kat looked down at Vincent then went to the window and opened it and jumped out into the alley. Kat made her way back to the Forgotten City. Once there she saw no one so she went inside quietly.

"Brother you are going to kill them all just so you can be with Kat?" Kadaj said from the room Kat was standing next to.

"Yes. You wouldn't understand." Sephiroth said and opened the door to see Kat.

Aerith's words came back to Kat ' Only you can do what will become clear.'

"Kat." Sephiroth said when he saw her.

"Don't even try to explain what I herd to me I get it!" Kat yelled and turned to leave. Aerith's words were now making sense to Kat. Sephiroth followed Kat as she went outside.

"Kat you don't get it." Sephiroth said as he followed Kat.

" No I think I do get it. You want me to stay out here with you. You made that clear after trying to kill Vincent." Kat said facing him.

"Sephiroth leave her alone." Cloud said sword drawn and ready to fight. Cloud had only the main piece of his buster sword in hand the others were in the holsters on his back. Sephiroth looked at Cloud and said.

"What a perfect time to get started." Sephiroth drew his Massume and pushed Kat behind him. Before Kat could do anything Sephiroth attacked Cloud. Cloud drew another piece of his buster sword and attacked as well.

"Stop it both of you!" Kat yelled at them. That distracted Cloud and one of his swords was knocked out of his hand and over near Kat. And the battle continued with Sephiroth having the upper hand. It wasn't long until Cloud was knocked down and Sephiroth's blade on his throat.

He is going to kill him! Kat thought frantically. Then she realized looking down at Clouds buster sword piece what she had to do.

"Cloud it has been a while since we fought. And you disappoint me. I thought you might be a challenge to kill." Sephiroth drew his sword back to finish off Cloud when he was hit in the side. He looked down as saw the part of Cloud's sword he knocked away deep in his side. He backed up some and dropped his Massume. Kat was behind him her hands covering her nose and mouth. She was crying. The last thing Sephiroth saw was Kat crying for him. Then he died collapsing to the ground. Cloud got up and retrieved his sword from Sephiroth's side.

"Come on Kat." Cloud said leading her away from Sephiroth's body and back to his bike. Cloud took Kat back to the Seventh Heaven. When they went inside Tifa asked noting on the fact Kat was still crying.

"What happened?"

"Tifa, Kat needs to be alone for a while." Cloud said taking Kat to the spare room where Vincent was.
