Chapter 2

Mako enhancing

Nymph was wheeled on a cold metal bed that resembled a rather old operation table through a cold dark hallway which the only light came from an odd glow on the walls at random intervals. Two silver hair men walked by her pushing the bed along the ones she now knew as Yazoo and Loz then a little way down the corridor the one with shorter silver hair she knew was Loz pressed his hand on what to Nymph seemed to be just an ordinary part of the wall but when his hand made contact the surrounding wall to his hand was place lit up in a lime green glow and a small keyboard appeared, Nymph tried to look at what Loz was typing but sadly she was restrained by the belt that held her to the bed so she couldn't see what Loz was tapping into the system and then a tiny beep filled the air and the wall to the left slide open. Nymph was wheeled in and the bright white lighting blinded her at first as her eyes adjusted and all around her she could see tanks filled with a blue/green glowing liquid and the one furthest away held a man's body he had long silver hair longer than the two men that had been 'looking after' her had when she managed to pull her eyes away from the man in the tank her eyes focused on a man also dressed in black leather with silver chin length hair and he was hooked up to a drip that held a similar blue liquid as the tanks and just behind him was a greasy brown haired that was pulled into a neat ponytail, man that was wearing a dirty white lab coat over an equally dirty pair of brown corduroys and grey shirt.

The man with the pony tail smiled at the little girl as she was wheeled past him and lined up with another operating bed, Nymph flinched when Loz grabbed her arms and held her down, as Yazoo inserted a needle of cold blue liquid into her arm, her vision began to blur as the liquid mixed with her bloodstream and the oxygen mask was placed over her little mouth and before the realm of unconsciousness claimed its hold on her she could hear the sound of the tank opening and the shuffle as a body was dragged and lifted onto the table.

Cloud and Tifa had spent the last few days in constant contact with the police for any new news on the situation with their daughter but sadly there was nothing to report and spending all that time doing next nothing was doing their head ins.

It was the following morning when the sound of the ringing house phone woke Tifa and Cloud from their slumber, they throw the covers off themselves and dashed downstairs to answer the phone. Cloud grabbed it seconds before Tifa did their hands touching briefly.

"Hello" Cloud said answering the phone

"Oh right we'll be there in an hour alright" Cloud said hanging up the phone.

"Was it the police have they found something?" Tifa asked

"No there's a problem at the stables we have to go there it's a issue with Ivy" Cloud sighed

"Oh" Tifa's heart sank there was still nothing on her daughter and tears welled in her eyes, Cloud brought her into her arms and let her sob as he rested his chin on her forehead. How could they take their daughter whoever they were Tifa hated them.

An hour later they were up at the stables and making their way to Ivy's box and when they arrived there they did not expect to see what they did, she was throwing her head around as Yuffie gently poured water over her leg.

"What happened?" Cloud asked entering the box

"Um well she escaped from the paddock and got herself caught on barbed wire which has cut deep so we will have to send her to get x-rayed in order to have the full damaged assessed" Yuffie explained dabbing the wound with some more cotton wool. Cloud's hand reached out and touched the mare's neck soothingly as his eyes wonder the space of her stable and in a corner by the door the offensive wire lay in rather a large pile so no wonder her leg was bad.

"Can you pass me that Vet Wrap I'm going poultice Ivy's leg as most likely it will cause an abscess for now" Yuffie explained, Tifa entered the stall then handing her the vet wrap.

Cloud reached over the door once her foot was wrapped up in purple vet wrap and grabbed her head collar he actually couldn't understand why she wasn't wearing it to begin with and once the head collar was on the door was unlatched and Cloud lead her to the stable's entrance where a trailer was already waiting to take Ivy away.

"Come on girl" Cloud coaxed the mare with holding out a polo just in front of her but the mare refused to go any further she had a fear of trailers, horses boxes she took in her stride but trailers she feared. Tifa came in to the side of the mare and tapped her in the flank but she refused to move

"Get the tapes" Cloud shouted towards Tifa she nodded and left and within seconds she had the tapes and extra helpers. The tapes were set out and the helpers stood at either end of them. Cloud pulled once more on the lead rope and Ivy reared right up into the air and then when she came crashing down her hoof caught Cloud's toe and he had to bite his tongue to stop from cursing. Tifa moved so she was almost behind the mare but at an angle so she wouldn't get kicked and then gave Ivy a shove as Cloud tugged once again on the rope and Ivy did step into the trailer.

They stood and watched her leave and they just hoped the damage done wouldn't be too serious when the x-rays came back it was the last thing they needed right now a large vet fee when they had finding their daughter to worry about. Marlene that had been at the stables to muck out Harry and exercise him had seen the couple standing at the door she waltz over to them.

"Tifa Cloud!" she called running up to the couple and skidding to a halt just in front of them.

"Marlene" Tifa cried grabbing her arm as she almost face planted the ground.

"Sorry" Marlene giggled even after five years she was still as clumsy as ever "So any news on Nymph" she asked her tone dripping with empathy

"Nothing really I know the police are doing all they can but I can't sit around here and do nothing" Cloud said raising his voice and he couldn't be blamed for getting angry really

"Cloud we'll find her we must not give up hope" Tifa said encircling him in her arms

"I know I know Teef" Cloud sighed he was taking this harder than anyone. Marlene sadly smiled at the pair and gave them a hug before she headed back into the stables to sort out Harry.

When Nymph woke her whole body ached all over but worse effected was her head and left arm where she had been injected with the blue glowing liquid but as she tried to sit up she winced in pain and grabbed her stomach. Once she had recovered from the pain slowly she pulled herself into a sitting position and carefully lifted the robe thing she had been dressed in to reveal a massive angry pink scar running right across her belly. Gingerly she reached out her fingers and traced the scar with them, she flinched as they made contact as it caused the scar to sting but she pushed forward knowing her father would do the same. Once her curiosity got the better of her however she allowed her eyes to scan the room she had woken up in and the one thing she found some comfort in was she seemed to be alone but there wasn't any visible way out of the room but the door she had come in by but boy was she going to try and find away to escape so she could be held in her parents arms once more her father's spark and her mother's courage was buried deep within her and that would give her the strength she would need to escape.

I'm still not overly happy with this chapter, think I could be improved upon but I'm to lazy too anyway this chapter will have to keep you going for sometime, as my internet provider is changing this monday and well because it's me it will no doubt be trouble and mess up.
So Nymph is attempting to escaspe but is she going to manage it or not, I know and not sharing for now anyway I have started on chapter 6 so once chapter 7 is started and I've finished trying to edit chapter 3 I will post it.
Poor Nymph she really must be quite scared and feeling queasy with Hojo smiling at her he really just is a creep I will never understand that part in the game where there are girls are fawning over him, it's deffiently not for his looks or body it most be money or something he really creeps me out and how is Hojo back how is he back from the dead but then it's Hojo who always manages to come bck one way or another but was he really dead in the first place anyway enough about Hojo and a little note about Ivy shame that happened to her, it happened to a horse I used to know (he's not dead he was just sold and left the stables) he had been turned out in his paddock and someone had thrown the barewire in the paddock and it wrapped round his leg and done some number on his leg poor boy. Oh well at least you got another chapter
