Author’s Note: Next chapter will contain blood and violence against Sephiroth, this is just between story. Next chapter will take a long time to write, I plan on it being as long as the last chapter or longer, probably longer, and you all can get your revenge on Sephiroth! (In case you cant tell, I really hate Sephiroth in general, so you can take this kind of as a character bashing, but oh well)
-------------------------------------------------------------- -----
I awoke the next morning feeling sore. My whole body hurt, as if someone had hit me with a good sized truck and then proceeded to run over my mutilated form multiple times. My stomach hurt, my chest hurt, my head hurt, my ass hurt, my legs hurt, my arms hurt, hell my hair hurt! When I moved to roll over I felt a strange dry crackling near my buttocks, upon inspection, I found dried blood.

My cat, a beautiful silver tabby, jumped up onto the bed and approached me. He crawled over and nudged me gently with his nose, begging for attention. Grudgingly I patted him on the head till his little voice box emitted that motorboat noise. The sound of a cat purring always seemed to calm me down somehow.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t pet him forever, and soon I forced myself to get up and ready for school. My mirror reflected an image I wasn’t ready to see. Small cuts were all over my body, from Sephiroth’s zipper hitting me, or from the rough treatment he had given me. There was also a rather large (as in the size of my whole mid-section) bruise on my stomach where he had kicked me. Dried blood lay in streams down my legs, and there was a nasty cut caked in blood on my forehead. Even darker rings than yesterday lined the undersides of my eyes, making me look like L from Death Note…

I didn’t stop to think about how horrible I looked, nor about what might wait for me once I left the sanctuary of my room. All I knew was that I felt dirty, and I needed to take a shower before I left.

So take a shower I did. Tabby tried to climb in with me, he’s a weird cat, but I pushed him out so I could be in peace. Unlike yesterday, when the water was hot, this water was ice cold. It made my skin go numb after a while, so I couldn’t feel my bruises, so I couldn’t feel any pain. It made me begin to forget everything.

When I climbed out of the shower I felt refreshed. Most of the blood had been washed away, and my skin was too numb from the cool for me to feel my bruises. I had thought ahead, and stored my clothes in the cupboard under the sink. I got dressed in my normal gothic clothes and laid my hand on the doorknob.

Tabby pushed against my leg and pawed at the door. He couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t moving, and he wanted out.

“Huh? …Oh, sorry Tabby…” I opened the door and stepped out into my empty bedroom. I didn’t know why I had stopped at the door, it was just that a falsh of fear had shot through me, but fear from what?

I shrugged it off as nothing. I couldn’t think about things like that, I would be late for school. Hurriedly I grabbed my stuff and turned to leave. Dad wasn’t home, so I let Tabby out. If I didn’t let him out now then the poor thing would be stuck in all day. Dad always forgot to let him out.

I met Leon standing outside his house on the way to school. Actually, it looked like he was waiting for me. He was standing with his back to me, his hands shoved into his hoodie as he paced back and forth. I called out to him to get his attention. “Hey Leon!”

Leon glanced up from his study of the ground. He looked worried and tired, as if he’d been up for a while. My smile quickly faded. “You ok?”

“Cloud can you come inside for a moment? I have someone here who wants to talk to you…”

Someone who wanted to talk to me? That was new, no one usually talked to me outside of school. “Sure,” I replied.

Leon nodded and turned away from me, heading back into his house, I followed. Once inside I stopped, the person who wanted to talk to me was wearing a blue uniform, a police uniform.

I heard the door shut behind me and turned to see Leon lock it and lean against it, his arms crossed. “What?…” I asked, leaving the question hang in the air. Leon looked away, so I turned back to the police woman.

“Cloud?” she asked. I nodded and she continued. “I’m officer Brown. I got a report that you were the subject of an attack?”

I looked over at Leon for some sort of explanation, but he didn’t seem to be able to look me in the eye, he was too busy studying the ground.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” I answered.

“Let me phrase it this way Cloud…does your father hit you?”

I chuckled at this and smiled at her. “Hit me? Of course not, my dad can be disagreeable, but he isn’t abusive.”

Leon’s eyebrows rose a few inches and he and officer Brown shared a confused look. Eventually officer Brown looked back over to me. “Um Cloud? Can you do me a favor and lift up your shirt?”

“Um sure…” I replied, not knowing where they were going with this. I reached down, my fingers hesitating a moment on the edge of my shirt, then pulled it up.

A couple of startled gasps came from Leon and the officer, so I looked down to see what was so horrible. My eyes widened at what I saw. Bruises covered my whole body, some new, some old. The largest one was on my stomach, the flesh was a deep purple-black tinged in yellow, it looked as if it were bleeding under the skin too.

“W-when did this happen??” I gasped.

Leon looked at me with confused eyes. “Cloud, most of these were on you yesterday…don’t you remember?”

“Yesterday?” I asked. I tried to think back to remember, but everything came out blurry and out of focus, as if I had been drunk. Thinking too hard became painful. All I remembered clearly was a flash of silver. “I…I don’t remember Leon…”

Officer Brown looked troubled. “Cloud…have you ever had memory problems? Maybe had amnesia sometime in the past?”

I shook my head. “No…why? Do you think there is something wrong with me?”

“Well Cloud…I don’t know…maybe you should go to the hospit-”

“NO!” I was backing toward Leon before the officer could finish her sentence. “I’m not going to the hospital! You can’t make me!”

“But Cloud please listen… some of your injuries could be serious I think..”

“No!! I said no!!!” I was desperate now, I wanted to leave, but Leon was blocking my way out, and he didn’t look like he was moving.

“Cloud…”
“NO!” I was scared. I didn’t know what to do.

“Calm down just…”

“No!” I bolted. Leon didn’t know what hit him as my fist connected to his face. He was knocked back onto the coffee table and I was out the door before anyone could blink. From somewhere behind me I heard Officer Brown yelling, but I kept running. I didn’t know what was going on, I only knew that I was scared, and that I had to run.
