Satisfied With A Smile
Set in final fantasy 7 crisis core. I don’t know weather or not to post more of this, leave a comment.
The girl walked through a field of black tulips her long blonde hair blowing to the side even though the flowers stayed stationary. She was beautiful in a slightly scary way with the moon behind her outlining her in silver. A small version of her ran circles around her singing a song with happy carelessness.
"Picking at my fingers, picking at my heart, leaving is so easy when you know no one from the start." Her voice echoed with laughter but it was far from happy, the song haunted the black tulips making them sway in waves of fear.
"The day you walk away, is the day you want to stay, the song of the city is in your heart." The girl began to grow older and the small one had to run faster to keep up with her longer legs. She lost the slight look of innocence and sadness came into her eyes that was not there before. Her hair became darker until it was black. Suddenly the field of tulips caught fire behind her.
"Once you make your friends, the days they never end, and you will wish for loneliness once again." The fire enveloped her and the child but neither screamed they both died without a sound the song of the girl lingering in the air like a nightmare.
Sephiroth woke sitting bolt upright panting, always in the dream he could not help the woman and for some reason that scared him. Swinging his legs over one side of the bed he walked into the tiny bathroom and had a shower before changing into the black clothes he wore every day. Somehow even before he walked into the directors office he knew that something warranted his attention.
"Sephiroth?" the director didn’t even look up as he entered the room.
"Yes, what is it?"
"We’ve just "received" a new member of personnel and she needs training."
"What do you mean by ‘received’?"
"We picked her up from the slums, she’s what you might call difficult."
"Really." Sephiroth sounded amused and the director looked up.
"This is not a laughing matter, she’s powerful."
"Sounds quite amusing to me, it wouldn’t be the first time you’ve picked up something you can’t control." The director stood up.
"We need your help." He said
"Why?"
"Cause you might be the only one who can control her."
"She’s that powerful?"
"Not now but she’s got enough potential to match you."
"It’s about time, where can I find her?"
"She’s in a cell at the moment on b4."
"A cell?"
"She wouldn’t behave, don’t be afraid to get rough with her."
"Hmmm…" Sephiroth walked out of the office and to the lifts anxious with suppressed excitement. Pressing the button for b4 the lift shot down and the doors opened a moment later. A fourth class SOLDIOR was waiting for him there.
"This way sir." He said grimly and went to a bared door. Shoving a key into the lock he turned it and the door opened. Sephiroth went inside.
Whoever this girl was she was curled up in the corner of the cell her face hidden by the tangle of blonde hair.
"Hello?" she didn’t stir. He walked over and touched her hair jumping back as she lashed out with one of her arms in a movement too quick to follow.
"Don’t touch me." She screamed getting up. "Why don’t you people just leave me alone."
"You’ll come with me or you’ll die in this place." Sephiroth said "Come and have a shower." He left the room leaving the door open and got in the waiting lift holding the door open. The girl poked her head out the door suspiciously and Sephiroth motioned for her to hurry up. She walked to the lift and got inside glaring at him as he pressed the 3 button.
"What’s your name?" He asked not expecting an answer.
"None of your business." The lift stopped at one the up button on that floor having been pressed, as soon as the doors opened she lunged at them trying to get though but Sephiroth caught her and slammed her against the wall. She winced and for a moment their eyes met and she knew she couldn’t escape from him anymore than she could fly.
She shoved him off her.
"What do you want?" She snapped turning away.
"Its not a question of what I want, Shinra wants me to train you and that’s what I have to do."
"Why?"
"Don’t ask me, I don’t want to have to do it."
The lift arrived at level three and Sephiroth walked out pulling her with him. He pushed her in front of him so he could see her and waved his room card in front of the sensor opening the door. Pushing her into the room he closed the door and locked it putting the room card back in his pocket, her eyes followed it.
"The bathrooms through there." He said and she shot him one final glare before going in and locking the door. Sephiroth pulled out one of his over coats and placed it by the door.
"There’s clothes by the door." He said. "I’m going out, the doors locked." He walked out his front door and locked it from the outside taking a lift down to sector eight…
