Final Fantasy 7: Unrevealed Past
by Kaloos and Ultimecia

Kaloos's Note: If I am right, this will be the first multi authored fanfic
ever been seen(thats if you haven't see any others in other site). As you
read the first chapter, you probably will be confused by the way of the
story told in two person. It may look confusing, but it is not. The story
is set 12 years before the FF7 world in Nibelheim but was told by Vincent
and Tifa in the present world of FF7. In this multi authored fanfic, I am
acting as Vincent. You can contact me via email, which is(you all know)
Kaloos@fantasysquare.com or via ICQ, which is 20563297. Now, enjoy reading
this fanfic.

Ultimecia's Note: This is a multi authored fanfic I wrote with Kaloos. In
this fanfic, I am acting as Tifa. I wanted to write a multi authored fanfic
with Kaloos because I admired his way of writing and also because it widens
your thoughts to see through others eyes. My email is
moogle@fantasysquare.com or my ICQ is 61630309.

Chapter 1: The Beginning

*Vincent*
  Bright light shined on my eyes that nearly made me blind. I tried to
move, but I can't, I was tied onto a table. Then, I saw two familiar faces
infront of me, it is Hojo and Prof Gast. I questioned them that why they
were doing this to me, but they just gave me that wicked smile. Before I
knew it, they are doing operations on me. I shouted, filled with pain and
anger. After that, I fell unconscious. When I woke up, I found that I have
no pulse, no heart beat. I looked at myself in the mirror. Pale face,
sharp fangs, but there's one thing that suprised me, my left arm was gone.
It was replaced by a metal claw. I cried out, unbelievably.......

  I kicked open the lid. The lid crashed into the wall of the small room
and made a loud BANG! noise. I sat up, not saying a word. This horrible
nightmare has been bothering me even though it was several years ago. It is
too hard to forget, too mind thrilling. Several years ago, I was a normal
human, with great dreams and someone I can love. But in one night's time, I
turned into a motionless, hopeless, cold, vampire..... A sudden of fury
arose in me which made me crashed out of the door. I couldn't stop, I flew
past the circular stairs and eventually reached the ground level. I drew
out my gun and fired at anything breakable around me to take out my anger.
I took out two vase and the last shot went into a oil latern. The oil
latern quickly burst into flame and created a bright light. I immediately
put out the fire, afraiding that someone will see. I'm already lonely. All
I have left is this mansion, mansion filled with past memories. I can't
afford to lose it, can't afford been driven out by town people. I slowly
slide the gun into the slot on my belt and walked down the circular stairs
with heavy footsteps. Soon, I returned to that small secret room and placed
myself in the coffin again.....

*Tifa*
  I remember when Cloud (he looked so cute back then) and I were much
younger and we were planning on a adventure as we called it. We always had
adventures around the area but one place we had not explored was an old
mansion at the top of the hill. I thought it was foolish but I was
extremely curious and well foolish. We had planned a good one, we would get
a torch and sneak into the Shinra Mansion and snoop around until we found
the treasure Shinra hid in there. We believed this because of all the
rumours about it there were demons, buried treasure and sometimes a
conspiracy theory. We first gathered a torch and some rope we found in Dad's
shed it was long and fraying with knots and tangles along its grimy length.
Next we had to decide how to search the mansion best together or separate.
The thought of being without him and being chased or captured were too much
for me. We would stick together. We decided to practise sneaking out tonight
so I went to sleep early. At 1:47am he woke me up by pegging rocks at my
window. But I was really awakened with a loud BANG BANG BANG sound. We want
to find out where the sound was coming from, so into the darkness we went.
It was a quiet night and the sky was shimmering and the mansion windows were
glowing. We had to find out what it was so we decided to meet again in two
nights time, the same way but quieter. When I got home, I was startled when
reached the top of the old rope. My father was sitting on my bed waiting for
me. How did he know, but I never found out. I was grounded from playing with
my friends and was warned about future punishments if this behaviour
continues. I should have listened, but curiousity has always been existed in
me. I rarely had anything to explore so I was desperate for some excitement.
I eventually went to sleep and dreamed...
