It all started with dreams, almost as if something had been calling out to him this entire time. It had been only six months since they had defeated Sephiroth, but he still had the same voices calling out to him. The Jenova Cells that encircled his entire life force and being... they had been crying out but in those dreams the voices were in no way Jenova's. They were the voice of something else... It was a woman's voice yes, and one night he even saw her face. She called out to him... expressing her dire need for a knight... beautiful as she was her very appearance scared him. She looked like a witch... or even a sorceress... Silver hair just like the very man whom they had defeated, a long red dress demonic yellow eyes... that sent shivers down his spine.
" Come Joshua... my child... be my knight... protect me from those who would do harm..." she whispered a seductive tone in her voice.
Even with the fear in his dream he started forward, his dark archon armor surrounding his body as he knelt down before her " My lady sorceress... I kneel to your will... and yours alone..."
" Good child... now go... and kill my enemies... everyone who would threaten me..."
" Yes... my lady..."
Then it happend a quick flash and he was at the top of a hill, surrounded his body and sword covered in blood as he walked down the path of his very family and friends who he himself had killed. A scream a womans voice called out his name and that very instant he turned slashing blood splattered everywhere and on the ground Tifa's body laid there the slash mark tearing down her chest, as she continued to call out to him " J... Joshua... why...?"
" Why...? Do you have to ask...?" he lifted his blade and suddenly swung for her head
~~~~~~~~
He screamed suddenly panic in his voice as he sat up from bed breathing hard, it was the same dream all over again. Tifa... Aerith... Raichu... Reno... Kitty... Cloud... everyone he knew... he continued to breathe hard sweat completley poured all around his body, he felt like he had fallen in a pool of water. He trembled looking over Tifa... she... she was right there... she was safe right...? Safe yea she was safe... so why was he still trembling, why was his heart pounding as fast as it was...?
That woman wasnt Jenova... who else could call out to him like that... only Aerith had a psychic connection with him... not even Tifa... he gripped his hair tightly why was this happening... why was he having these dreams...?

Tifa jerked from her deep sleep beside her husband and sat up, looking towards her husband, this was the third time this week. "Josh..." she sighed, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Another bad dream?"
She had no idea what was causing these bad dreams either. No matter how she tried to soothe him, whether she reassured him, hugged him, or had him drink something warm and soothing... nothing seemed to chase away the bad dreams. She was concerned.
She looked over the town, watching the fire burn it down to the ground. She laughed as if this brought her the greatest of pleasures, her silver hair framing her eyes.
Strewn across the ground, dripping with blood and guts and disgusting things like that were people she knew well. Her lover, her friends...
"So this is what it feels to be like you brother." rina murmured with a smirk.
"My child you have done well."
She nodded to the voice, jumping down from the rooftop and passing by a boy who was struggling to live. His fingers twitched and rasied up towards her. "M...M..."
She raised her sword and struck down, straight through the boy;s heart and her son spoke no more.
Rina sat up in bed, swear dotting her forhead and her breathing rough. she shivered as the surronding air hit her heated body and she looked around frantically. Everything was normal though...
She jumped from the bed and slammed the bedroom door open, rushing down the hall. with trembling fingers she opened another door and walked in. No blood. Bo death. Her son lay on his bed, sleeping peacefully.
She sighed in relief, slowly walking over and leaning down, kissing his forehead. Why... why was she still dreaming these things?

" Y... yea..." he breathed leaning into her comforting touch " I just... I just don't get it..." he continued to grip his hair tightly. The idea of him hurting her... he suddenly latched onto her resting his head on her shoulder " I would... never... hurt you... not like that..." he whispered his grip around her tightening. Why was he having dreams like that...? Was that woman Jenova...? He had never seen her true form... not it wasn't Jenova's voice even called to him even if he never saw he true form... she was something else... more sinister...
~~~~~~~~
Riku squirmed in his sleep opening his eyes slightly his small hands taking his mother hand and he smiled looking up at her " Ma... ma.... MaMa...." she put her fingers in his mouth and started to suck down on them.
Max groaned from the center of the bed feeling the absence of his wife, Diana's arms curled around his body. She had recently just started living with them and he didnt mind it at all... but this was the third time this week Rina had jolted out of bed like that... he was really starting to get worried. She wouldnt even tell him the reason why!

"I know..." she murmured back, hurring him. "It's okay Joshua..." She didn't understand why he was getting these dreams either... but she knew that they meant no good for the future to come.
Jopshua had always been good at predicting what would happen - thats why this scared her too.
~~~
Rina chuckled, letting him suck. "That's my little Riku. My boy..." She reached down ruffling the white hairs falling from the top of his head fondly. "I'd never ever hurt you..."
Diana shifted beside Max, opening her eyes. "Gona again?" she murmured tiredly. Rina;s sudden absences during the night were becoming very... worrying.

" I need some air..." he said suddenly pulling back looking at her " Maybe a drink..." he grimaced at the thought again, dreams... just like the others... but him killing Tifa... and everyone else... no... it just wasnt possible! This wasnt his future! He wouldnt... he wouldnt allow it to be his future!
~~~~~~~~
" I'm going to check on her" Max grumbled as he started to crawl out of bed, he sighed staring towards the door he knew exactly where she was... and it was just as he had predicted as he stood at the enterance to his sons room watching her from afar. " Is that what youve been dreaming?" he asked taking a few steps further into the room " Your nightmares... there about hurting Riku...?"

Tifa sighed a bit but nodded. "alright..."
~~~
Rina looked up seeing Max at the doorway and slowly she turned her eyes back towards her son. "Hurting everyone." she whispered. "I keep dreaming about going crazy and killing everyone... like Seph had."

He looked at the clock then started out of the room, it was late but he needed help... and there was only one person he could talk to. He made his way to the kitchen grabbing the phone and started to dial his sisters number, he needed to ask her... he knew his blood had been tainted and was different but he needed to know if she was feeling the same...
~~~~~~~~
" Your not your brother..." Max said walking behind her wrapping his arms around her " There just dreams... dreams don't hurt anyone..." he said trying his best to comfort her. It started the same with Sephiroth... voices... dreams... " You don't have to worry...."

Aeris smiled, holding two chubby hands in her own and helped her son walk across the living room. Once they reached the other end she let him sit down and she sighed. "Come on Sora, aren't you tired?"
Wide blue eyes looked up at her excitedly. "Nah-uh!"
She chuckled a bit, smiling. even this late at night he was still a cutie.
Ring-ring
She looked up. "Who could that be and at this hour?" She reached out, snapping up the phone. "Hello?"
~~~
Rina frowned just shaking her head. "I'm not so sure Max..."

He breathed moments after she spoked heavily staring down then spoke " Aerith..." he whispered into the phone his heart rate still hadnt gone down... it was one of the reasons he had left his room, he didnt want Tifa to worry anymore than she had to.
~~~~~~~~
" The only thing we have to worry about in this family is me..." he said a frown on his face " As long as I keep taking the serum you made me... the danger of that monster won't come to haunt us..." he leaned down kissing the side of her neck " Besides... you just got us both a new play toy didnt you...?" he said refering to Diana " Why would you go and screw that up...?"

Aerith;s brows furrowed as she ehard the heavy breathing grimancing in disgust. she was about to hang up when the voice spoke. She paused, then, "Josh?"
~~~
Rina rolled her eyes, elbowing him in the ribs. "donlt say ti so crudely." She grumbled, before looking back down to her son, seeing he had drifting off once again. "Come on lets go back to bed."

" I... Nightmares... I keep having them... they won't stop..." he clenched the phone even tighter " I can't... I can't stop them... Aerith im scared... im scared to death... I..." he continued to breathe uncertain how to say it... how did you tell your sister that you killed her and everyone else... and you keep having those dreams...?
What scared him the most was the dreams were just like the old ones... the ones leading him telling him exactly what steps to take in his life... the ones that showed his fate...
" I don't want to lose Tifa... I don't want to lose you..." he started to cry suddenly " I kiled them... all of them... everyone..."
~~~~~~~~
Max nodded slightly chuckling " Everythings going to be fine... you worry to much woman..." he lifted her up suddenly and started for the door carrying her back to their room.

Aeris frowned, sitting down on the couch. She leaned over, picking up her son and setting him on her knee, bouncing him on her knee. sora gave a happy cry.
"Calm down Josh... I've already spoken with the planet and they said everything's fine." she murmured softly, already recognizing the dreams. "Did you know... Rina's having nightmares too? Just like yours."
~~~
Rina blinked as she was lfited then sighed, leaning against the other and shutting her eyes. "Yeah, yeah..."

" How... its not possible for two people to have the same dream..." he said still not understanding it
~~~~~~~~
Max brought her back to the bed suddenly laying her down next to Diana " Rest Roach head..." he said teasing her crawling down next to her " Everything is going to be fine... I promise..."

"Well..." Aerith said. "In her dreams she;s the one killing everyone not you but essentially it;s the same sort of dream." She frowned a bit. "You and Rina... what do you two have in common?"
~~~
"Yeah yeah, shut up wings." She grumbled with a smirk and chuckled when Diana's arms curled around her as well.

" Jenova Cells..." he said answering back " But... Jenova's dead right... she can't... be trying to contact us it just doesnt make sense... the woman... she... she didnt... " Jenova had tried contacting him in his youth... and that woman was not her...
~~~~~~~~
Max twitched " Wings...!? I try to comfort you and you start calling me names!"
