Hideout, Italy, 06:47 AM

"Where am I? What is this place?"

...

"Cloud? Tifa??"

...

"Anybody?!

...


"SAIGE!!" Ezekiel, yelled, trying to wake the girl, who suddenly sat up, gasping as if she has escaped from a nightmare, placing her hand on her chest. "I didn't mean to startle you, but it's moving hour, we gotta move." While Saige got up from the old, stained mattress, the male continued to explain. "I've heard some noises. I think those guys from the army are looking for us, in this area precisely." Saige grabbed her bag from the floor, placing the handle on her left shoulder. "Let's move then." She made her way to the exit. "Hold up Sawffenn." Ezekiel called out. "Aren't you forgetting something? You know, something you need?" Ezekiel walked towards Saige, handing his friend her sword. She took it from his hand and placed the weapon on her back, leaving the magnet she has on her back to do the heavy work of carrying the weapon. While walking up to their motorbikes, Saige glanced at the boy's right arm. It looked like it had healed perfectly. "Wasn't your arm pierced last night?" She asked. "Yeah, but while you were driving us back, I casted 'Cure'. " Ezekiel explained. She nodded. They reached their respective vehicles, Saige raised her voice once more. "So where to now?" she asked. "We go to our next hideout." Ezekiel replied. "Where is it?" The white-haired one questioned once more, covering her head with a black helmet. "Well according to the map I showed you last night, it's in the middle of this forest. It's next to a river, and the city nearby is like...10 kilometers away." He spoke. "Oh! There's also a gas station 26 kilometers away from here." He added, placing a helmet on his head. Both bikes roared loudly. Saige spoke up. "Let's hurry up then."

Both left the place at high speed, roaming the road towards their first stop. The road was empty, no cars, no trucks, nothing, just the wind and the orange-y light, coming from the sunrise. An echo of the engines of each motorbike soared throughout the sky, birds flying the opposite way. Some, following the 'couple', going in the same direction. Saige took a small glimpse of the orange sun ahead of her, the beauty of it was indeed surreal. Ezekiel on the other hand, sped up, trying to surpass his friend. Saige, knowing what he was trying to do, started to speed up, gaining more distance from Ezekiel. Both had started a race against each other. Ezekiel was falling behind, while Saige kept the distance between her and the boy. Ezekiel seeing he was losing, started to gain speed, reaching his adversary in seconds, while the girl maintained her current speed, not caring that much about the competition. Ezekiel continued to move forward, Saige following behind him. The boy wanting to brag for winning, held his hands together, raising them as a sign of celebration. "LOOK OUT!!" Saige yelled out pointing forward. The boy quickly looked in front of him and quickly hit the breaks of the motorbike, which as a reaction to the breaks being activated suddenly, started to low on the left side as Ezekiel turned to the left while trying to stop the vehicle. Saige sped up towards her friend to prevent him from getting hurt. The boy put his foot on the ground preventing himself to fall on the concrete ground, letting his vehicle to slowly fall on the ground, while the girl helped her friend stand up. Both took their helmets off, looking at the cause of Ezekiel's sudden stop. Two small red foxes, who had been ran-over if the boy hadn't been warned. The two creatures glanced at the pair of humans looking at them, leaving the scenario seconds after, as if nothing happened. Ezekiel sighed. "You almost killed those things!" Shouted Saige, pointing towards the small woods on their right. The young man got up, picking his bike up. "And I almost got myself killed trying to not kill those things!" He stated. "What were those anyway? Never saw anything like that." He added. "I don't know. Do we have those things at home?" The girl asked. "I never saw one." He answered, sitting on his vehicle, turning it on. As both regained their calm, they noticed a car getting closer, meaning they wouldn't have the road just for them.
