Lightning sat on the white sand, the ocean waves waashing close to her. It'd been 10 years since she lost Serah to the Slenderman. She'd been travelling with Cloud for all these years. Him, trying to find his older brother Zack. She reached up and tightened her ponytail, he pink hair falling over her shoulder. She was 19, she had to find Serah. Lightning pulled out Serahs' gunblade. This was useful in many occasions. She ran her fingers across the engraving, which said "Claire + Serah". A pair of arms reached around Lightnings' neck in a warm embrace. Cloud always knew how to cheer her up. She looked up towards Cloud, his blonde hair had been spiked up, and he was wearing a black tee with a normal pair of denims. He held an outstreched hand, offering her help to get up. She placed her gloved hand in his and he heaved her up.

"What did I tell you, Light?" asked Cloud, seriousness in his voice.

"I'm not a kid, Cloud, I know what the risks of sitting here by myself were," replied Lightning. Cloud sighed a little as they walked towards a red tent. As they reached the tent, an all to familiar mist rose quite quickly and thickly. Lights' face went pale as the realisation hit her. Cloud qucikly glanced around to see if there was anyone that looked like they were a child and sure enough, walking into the mist was a young ginger kid. Cloud grabbed Lights' gunblade and whipped it into it's gun form. Cloud ran up to the kid and stopped him from going anywhere near it.

There, in the mist was the creature that haunted Light and Clouds' dreams and every thought. Slenderman. It's black suit the most visible part of the creature. Cloud aimed the gunblade at Slenderman and began pulling the trigger. Bullet after bullet hit the area surrounding the Slenderman, but Cloud was unsure if any hit but it seemed to scare him enough to start walking away. A figure ran up towards Clouds' back, something shiny in it's hands. Light ran up and tackled the figure to the ground. Cloud fired another shot and this time the creature seemed to react more than anything to that shot.

"That one must've hit," said Cloud under his breath. He looked down to the kid that he saved, the kid had the look of fear in his eye. Cloud kneeled down to the kids' eye level.

"Kid, whatever bad things you have done, go tell your parents the truth," ordered Cloud, "it'll save your life, trust me." The kid ran as fast as he could away from Cloud and Light, who had got Clouds' assailant onto the sand. The assailant tossed Light off itself. Standing up, it threw a folder at Clouds' feet. Cloud looked down to the folder, and the assailant was gone. Cloud helped Light up, then picked up the folder.

"There is loads of files in here, Light," exclaimed Cloud.

As the darkness fell on the beach, which Cloud and Light were camping on, Cloud rumaged through the files that the assailant gave him.

"The Slenderman, my creation, has went beserk. I thought merging the cells with a normal human would just create a super soldier. It has the uncanny ability to elongate it's limbs, and have tendrils erupting from it's back. It's ability to raise mist to ensure it's invisibility is not seen anywhere else. It has a strong sense of justice, I have read reports of children going missing with no trace of them. 10 years ago in a small village, Slenderman caused a child to hit his friend over the head with a rock, killing her. Slenderman took him away. Now this child's brother is searching for him. "

"Light, this report is about me! Well, Zack and me," cried Cloud.

"Is there any mention of Serah?" asked Lightning.

"No, but there is loads of files, I'm sure one of them will have something about her." Cloud lay the file down beside his pillow. Light looked through the files and she gasped as there was a picture of Serah, her pink hair tied up the same way it always was. A tear fell from her cheek as behind the picture there was a report.

"CLOUD! They took her! They experimented on her!" yelled Lightning.

"Right, we'll leave tomorrow for the main city, Bodum," said Cloud.

"Goodnight Cloud," whispered Light, kissing his cheek.

"Goodnight Light," replied Cloud, he was staying up for the next four hours, making sure that Slenderman doesn't get anywhere near them. Cloud continued to look through the files, trying to find one to do with Zack. A picture of a tall thin person fell out of the folder. He was wearing a black suit, a white shirt and a black tie. He looked like... Slenderman, except he had a face, unlike Slenderman.

"Slenderman was a normal human?" questioned Cloud. Cloud looked through the folder and finally found what he was looking for, a file on Zack.

"Who is this Hojo?" thought Cloud, "He's on every file..." Cloud got ready to wake Lightning up so he could get some rest, but hid all the files concerning Zack. Shaking Light he got to sleep easier, knowing what happened to his adoptive brother.
