Cloud Strife x Reader - You're Wonderful

Chapter 6

You ran through the hall ways desperately searching for your brother. There was blood dripping down the side of your head and cuts and bruises up your stomach and legs. One of your ankles was badly bleeding.

"Please don't let him catch up, please don't let him catch up!" You screamed at yourself in your head. "If he catches up you know what will happen! Keep running (y/n)!" Your thoughts tried to push you on.

You ankle was on fire. The pain seared straight through one side to the other and as you ran, the pain and throbbing got greater and greater until you couldn't take it anymore.

With a loud thud you collapsed onto the wooden floor gripping at your leg and your side. "Why... Why is this happening!?" You growled to yourself.

"Because, me dear (y/n), you are a very pretty girl and certain people would love to get their hands all over you"

You froze. The pain was being overtaken by overwhelming fear. "Get away from me!" You yelled as best as you could without stuttering. "You're a monster! You're not human!" You tried to shuffle away from the man coming towards you. You know deep down that he was walking a lot faster than you could ever attempt to crawl but you had to try anything to get away.

"Zack!!" You cried "Zack please! Help me!" You called repeatedly for your brother as you started to cry.

Tooru got closer to you and stood over you both feet either side of your bloody, shaking body. He knelt down and held your wrists above your head. His face was inches away from yours.

"(Y/n) (y/n) (y/n).... Why don't you just behave. Be a good girl and come back to the room so we can finish off. I have people waiting for you and you're making me look bad".

You spat up at him and in return you got a harsh slap to the face. Not that it mattered anymore, you didn't even feel the pain from the slap as all you were concentrating on was your badly wounded ankle and how to get away from the psycho straddling you.

You thought you heard a voice but it was muffled. You dismissed it as your mind.

"Zack!!!" You cried out again in tears. Tooru removed his hand from your wrists briefly and you took this chance to thump him round the head, knock him over and flee once again.

You mostly fell down the stairs. Your entire body screamed with pain telling you to stop moving but you had to keep going.

You threw the front doors open and saw a familiar figure standing in the distance. He called to you "(y/n) quickly!"

He had blonde spiky hair and he was dressed fully in black. "Cloud?" You questioned and your eyes widened as you found the strength to run faster.

"CLOUD! PLEASE! HELP ME!"

You reached your arm out to grab his hand.

-----
"(Y/N)!"

"CLOUD!" You shot up with your arm stretched out in front of you tears rolled fast from your eyes as you screeched his name. You felt hands on your shoulders.

"(Y/n) what is it? You were yelling in your sleep and you called for me" you looked at the blonde sitting on the bed in front of you. You ignored his questions and threw yourself at him instead.

He took you into his embrace and you cried violently as you rested on his shoulder. You were frantically shaking.

Cloud gently stroked your hair as he slowly rocked you side to side. You slowly began to calm down, your erratic breathing became steadier.
