Chapter 13

Angels Part 1

Tifa sat up all night worrying about Sephiroth. She glanced at the eastern horizon and saw a feint light. It will be morning in an hour and she had no sleep what so ever. She closed her eyes for seconds but she dozed longer then she had planned. She had the strangest dream of all though… angels, blood death and rebirth. Strange…She awoke to the smell of food burning and she groaned.

"I am going to kill you for not coming sooner!" she grumbled out loud.

"Why would you do that and I didn't know you were expecting me," a voice asked. Tifa's eyes shot open and knew that that was not Sephiroth's voice. She sat up and saw a dark figure surrounded in a crimson cape staring at her.

"Vincent! Where's S…" but she shut her mouth.

"Where is who? Someone with you?" Vincent asked as he filled her plate up with food.

"No, no one just me." Tifa replied. Vincent looked at the second chocobo and knew that someone was with her.

"It's a good thing I found you or you would have been kibble for stray monsters." Vince reprimanded.

"Thanks for coming by, but it's not like I couldn't handle myself." Tifa said as she ate all her of her breakfast.

"Sure, anything for you." Vincent teased, "So where's Cloud?" Tifa froze at the name and Vincent saw the fear and pain embedded in her eyes.

"Tifa? You all right?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Just do me a favor?"

"Anything."

"Don't ever say that name again." Vince nodded and kept silent. I wonder what he did?

Several minutes later, Tifa noticed some roses by his side and wondered whom they were for.

"Hey Vincent? Who are those flowers for?"

"They are for Lucrecia. She asked me to get her some…said those were her favorites." He answered.

"Hey, can I come along with you?" she asked.

"Yeah, I `d be happy to have some company. It's been a while though." He said sarcastically. Tifa smiled and handed Seph's chocobo over to Vincent.

Cloud sat at a wooden table and thought of Tifa. He wished that she would be all right…she was his friend. Yeah right! After the way I treated her? But she had to understand that I loved and always will love Aerith and nothing can change that! A cup of coffee was placed below his nose. He looked up and saw Arlene standing there. He thought that she looked so much like Aerith with those green eyes, but he shook the thought away.

"Thanks."

"Your welcome, besides it looks like you needed it." Arlene said. She pulled up a stool and sat down, "You want to talk about it?"

"No."

"Oh. Well if there is anything you need just ask me." Arlene said. Cloud nodded and she left. Now once I get my hands on Sephiroth he won't know what hit him, and then I'll ask Tifa what the fuck she was doing with him…

"So mother? You say that this book will help us stop the next calamity?" Sephiroth asked. He was sitting on a rock near the water's edge, while the sun hit his back with warmth.

"Yes. Yet all I know is that you have to bring that book back and you must also bring two other important objects along with it. That is all the planet has told me." Lucrecia explained.

"Very well, I will do as you say. Anyway, I hope Tifa is all right." Seph said.

"She'll be fine, she'll arrive here soon. For now how about you show me some of your moves with that blade of yours?" Sephiroth's face beamed with joy and he happily performed a few tricks.

Tifa and Vincent rode onward toward Lucrecia's waterfall. He told her that they would be there any minute and his promise came true when she saw and felt the sounds of water cascading down off rocks.

"I bet Lucrecia will be glad to meet you. She told me that she wished more people would come and visit…" Vincent didn't finish for he was utterly shocked at the sight before him. Tifa too looked in his direction and gaped to see Sephiroth with Masamune outstretched in front of Lucrecia.

Vincent forgot himself and charged with the chocobo straight at Sephiroth who had no idea what was going on. He threw out his guns and shot a round at his arch enemy…

Tifa saw Vincent aim the guns at Sephiroth and she literally took off after him. He doesn't know yet! Hurry Bright Rose, faster! She sprang ahead of the wild-eyed Vincent and threw her body in front of the bullets. She didn't know what else to do…she had to protect Sephiroth…

The bullets shred on through Tifa's shoulder, arm, and stomach. Large amounts of blood came running down her flawless tan skin and her eyes grew distant. Sephiroth who heard Lucrecia scream and the bullets whiz through the air turned around to see Tifa at his feet bleeding to death…
