Days like this he liked to be alone. He was in Costa de Sol....Cloud was just enjoying the day to be alone....He needed to be alone any way. To reflect on what has happened to him so far. Cloud parked his bike away from the shore line of the beach he was on...And turned the gas off...He left Tifa a note that he was okay....He just needed to be alone tonight. Would this thought of him ever leave his mind...? Cloud knew from the moment he killed Sephiroth in that reactor he would be haunted....It was as though that Sephiroth never really died....And that true when Cloud found himself face to face with the monster after Kadaj fell off the side of the building...And an epic battle to save the world was at it again.....Luckily though, Cloud was able to send Sephiroth back to his memories....
Cloud walked up to the shore line and took off his heavy boots then....So he could feel the water flow over his toes and feet....He tilted his head to the night sky....And closed his eyes....As he was as you can say emptying his thoughts....He's learned to use the beach just for that....And always Cloud would feel so much better.....But that day at the bar.....Never seemed to leave Cloud's thoughts......
"He's back...." Cloud then straightened his head back to normal position and opened his Mako blue eyes then as he looked straight out to the oceans view....That made Cloud sigh heavy....Was it all true....? Was the one that tormented him back....?
Cloud tried to dismiss the thought...As he turned his mind on Tifa.....He smiled as he looked down at his feet that was now covered in wet sand.....At that moment Cloud turned from the oceans few and looked away at the long stretch of beach a head of him.....And he started to do back flips.....He was trying to relieve some stress....Work outs always calmed him down.....When he did the last flip he heaved a heavy sigh.....As he saw how far he was now from his bike...."Why do you still remain.....? Cloud basically asked that to himself....He was stronger now than he ever was when he was 16.....

What an odd sight Cloud would spy if he were to glance past that bike of his! Perched atop a large, eroded boulder crouched a female cloaked in a crimson, tattered cloak holding a book with a metallic hand. Talons, deadly in appearance, tenderly turned the pages until she seemed to find a place she highly favored: "Her lips were red, her looks were free,
Her locks were yellow as gold;
Her skin was white as leprosy,
The Night-mare Life-in-Death was she,
Who thicks man's blood with cold.
The naked hulk alongside came,
And the twain were casting dice;
"The game is done! I've won! I've won!"
Quote she, and whistles thrice." The woman, whoever she was, snapped the book shot and lowered it in thought. The Rime of The Ancient Mariner was one of her many favorite literary works; and she often times went everywhere with this item in hand should she have a sudden urge to read what helped her gain her freedom. Still as a statue, she remained-much like a bird of prey waiting to swoop down on unsuspecting prey. Had the monster come to watch the sunset? There would be no other explanation in mind. The molten light showered down on the experiment; and she narrowed her eyes to keep herself from temporarily going blind from the power of the sun. |

Cloud simply sighed as he walked back towards his boots in the sand...And placed them back on...He then turned towards his bike. Tonight was a loss....He couldn't get one thing out of his mind. One person actually....And that was what was bothering him...
"Guess I better get back to Tifa...She'll be worrying by now...." Cloud searched in his black pants pocket for his bike keys...And grabbed them out....As he jingled them as he walked back up to his bike....He actually looked over and saw a girl sitting on a large boulder...Maybe if he ignored her she would ignore him....But there was some thing about her...
Cloud found himself fascinated....by this woman now that he saw....She was no girl....Cloud could not stop starring...It was as though the beauty in her complexion made him freeze on the spot....The oceans winds blew his spikes to the side continuously......Not even blinking as he looked at her....It was though he was caught in a trance.....

Amoura could not deny the sublime sunset that sat before her; and it did not matter to her if someone was watching her with intense curiosity. How could the humans deny such an ageless beauty? Had this scenery been a woman, Venus surely would be jealous. Tensed shoulders relaxed whilst her talons tenderly scratched at the grained rock she sat on. It's a shame that its life was so short everyday, for some of the remaining rays were being dimmed by the horizon. Sighing in disappointment at having that experience ending, she slid off the rock and landed quietly in the sand. Now, to see what the boy over there wanted.
In, perhaps, less than the blink of an eye, the vampiress stood back to back with the male. Left in her wake was a dug up trail of sand, much of it still steaming and hot to the touch due to the friction; and The Night Angel spoke:
"Is there something you're looking for, kid?" Amoura asked, her tone unusually calm and soothing for one with a not so welcoming demeanor, "Is there a reason you were watching me?"

"Is there something you're looking for, kid?" Like in a flash she was right behind him....All he saw in front of him in the sand now were her tracks....Man she was fast....
"Is there a reason you were watching me?"
"Uh...Forgive me for that. But I've never seen some one so beautiful....Damn it Cloud....Stop it..." He was a guy after all....He thought about Tifa then and saw her smile in his own mind...And he smiled himself. She was always there in his mind to remind him he was taken...And that she was the most beautiful woman in his life....
"Didn't mean it that way....See I'm taken....But...I'm sorry for starring...My name's Cloud...By the way not kid..." He was so not a kid....Hell he was almost 26 years old....Of course she was not the first one to call him that....Zack had once....But was it because he was short? No knew he was an actual adult...Was he that short....?
Cloud then turned around to face her....Her back still faced his face then...."You just....Seem like some one familiar...Sorry for starring again...." You meet new people every day...Cloud sure seemed to any way....But he wanted to get back to Tifa....He was so much in love with her...He hated to stay out later than he should....Unless he was fighting...

Soon after he spoke, the vampire did something completely out of the norm by most standards: she got really close to Cloud's face and sniffed his cheek much like a dog would to a stranger's hand. Her icy cold breath briefly fanned his skin; and she withdrew, "Well, fear doesn't reside with you. Good." The male did have other fears locked away like most humans-at least she thought he was a human-do; but she won't dig into his personal life.
"Hmmmm," Amoura narrowed her eyes, if only by a bit, and seemed content with whatever she concluded about the blond. What a strange color and not to mention the bizarre design! How the hell did he keep it up like that? Some magic substance? Amoura wanted to look into this, but alas, that would be a rather strange project...
"Cloud, eh? I go by...Amoura. And I don't care about this 'I'm taken' nonsense, because I'm not interested in anyone. Best watch your mouth, ki-Cloud."

"Well, fear doesn't reside with you. Good." Cloud was frozen stiff. His eyes remained onward....He didn't even blink as she got so close to his cheek when she said that to him. He could feel however her icy breath on his cheek...And Cloud was not about to tell her his real fear....What if she was league with Sephiroth....or any one like him...? No Cloud was not going to tell her any thing....
"Hmmmm," "Cloud, eh? I go by...Amoura. And I don't care about this 'I'm taken' nonsense, because I'm not interested in anyone. Best watch your mouth, ki-Cloud." Cloud blinked then to glance at her from the side...."Amoura....? Should I fear you?" He asked that cautiously...He was still uncertain....She was dark...But was she with the Darkness....? He was still frozen in his tracks.

"Depends!" Replied the vampiress who had the same question asked a few times before, "If you piss me off then I won't hesitate to eradicate you! There you have it. If you want a better explanation then I pray this will suffice."
Amoura leapt into the air, flipped over Cloud, and landed gracefully back atop the rock. The wind from the sea tossed her tattered, red cloak around her body whilst she spoke, "I am neither light nor dark, but rather a lovely shade of grey. I am on no one's side, because, no one is on mine."
The female vanished from sight only to appear right in front of him, "But of course, Cloud. Fear is a sign of respect in many cases. Be wary of those you meet..." Once more, gone from his line of sight; and reappeared at his bike with a curious gaze.
"What the hell is this thing?"

"If you piss me off then I won't hesitate to eradicate you! There you have it. If you want a better explanation then I pray this will suffice."
Cloud arched his head up when she leaped over him so gracefully...And looked at her land on the same rock she was sitting on earlier....
"I am neither light nor dark, but rather a lovely shade of grey. I am on no one's side, because, no one is on mine."
"That's too bad....But then again might be good for you then....You're you're own leader...." "But of course, Cloud. Fear is a sign of respect in many cases. Be wary of those you meet..." She was right about that...He still thought he knew who his idol was....Until he turned in to what some say a monster....Cloud never understood what made Sephiroth go crazy like he did....The only thought came to mind was that he found out he was a an experiment of Hojo....Cloud was not there when Genesis said that who Sephiroth really was....So he did not know....
"What the hell is this thing?" That snapped Cloud back into reality....
"It's my transportation...A bike....Actually...It's model name is; Fenrir. It rides pretty sweet....I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have this to take me long distances...."

Amoura sniffed at the bike and prodded the seat with her forefinger curiously. Call her ignorant, but she knew very little about the technologies of today since she, literally, lived the life of a lab rat. A bike, eh? The vampiress shrugged and, without warning, leather-ish wings sprouted from beneath her cloak, spreading out over fifty feet in terms of wing span. "I fly," she explained, "I see no need for using a...bike."
The wings sank back in and she folded her arms, cocking an eyebrow at the device. What did it exactly do? Dig into the ground? Fly? Walk? Run? She had a lot to learn about the outside world.

"I fly," "I see no need for using a...bike."
"Hm....Well, I can't fly like you can....I can do dare stunts and stuff but that's about it....This baby has saved my life though more than once...She as you might take it....Fly on the ground...And those round things are the tires that makes it run....Actually the engine makes it run...But I'm sure some one like you this is all boring....." "She's not who you think....She will wait for the last minute and make a meal out of you....Trust no one my son...." What a most inappropriate time! For Jenova to screw with his mind.....
"Shut up...." He said that as low as possible....He was not close to Amoura then....He saw no fear to have from Amoura....She just looked like some one he would bond with...All because he would understand her....."Look....I hate to ask this.....But since you asked about my bike....How'd you get those fascinating wings you have?"
