FF7: Red and Silver
Chapter 1
Nightmare
"Agh!" screamed a silver haired child though it was not Sephiroth. Rather, the child was Hojo's daughter and Ifalna's as well.
"Quiet, Silver," commanded Hojo.
"But it hurts," she cried.
"The experiment's over now. No more Jenova cells or mako injections for now," said Hojo.
"Please, stop it! Just stop it all," she pleaded.
"I said quiet," said Hojo as he hit Silver. She began crying.
"What a failure of an experiment you are. You'll never be anywhere near as strong or successful as Sephiroth. Your brother was a success," said Hojo.
"I'm sorry!" cried Silver.
"Stop crying and go find Ifalna," said Hojo.
"Yes, Father," said Silver.
"Mommy?' called Silver.
"Silver, no!" shouted Gast as he and Ifalna attempted to escape.
"Wh-why?" asked Silver.
"Your mother and I are leaving and she's got another child on the way," said Gast.
"What about me? Am I leaving too?" said Silver.
"Of course you are, I could never lose you," said Ifalna.
"Won't father hurt us?" asked Silver.
"If we're careful, we'll make it out and Gast will be your father not Hojo. We'll be happy and safe," said Ifalna as she embraced Silver.
"That's why we didn't tell you. Hojo would have tortured you with more experiments if you knew and I can't handle that. I was powerless before, but now we can protect you," said Gast.
"Well, well," said Hojo as he walked inside of the lab. Gast and Ifalna held Silver close but Hojo tore her away.
"Don't hurt mommy or Gast," begged Silver. Hojo pulled out a gun.
"If you even try to take Silver, I'll kill her," said Hojo.
"Don't leave me, please," cried Silver.
'We won't, Silver," said Gast. Hojo hit Silver.
"No, stop!" said Ifalna. Hojo did it again.
"Stop, please!" cried Silver as she sprouted a wing and shoved Hojo into a wall somehow. Was this what Hojo wanted Silver to be? Was she a monster?
"No you don't!" said Hojo as he shot Silver. She screamed like a banshee in pain.
"Silver!" said Ifalna, crying.
"It hurts…," said Silver as everything went black. When she awoke, she was inside of a tank filled with mako. Ifalna and Gast were nowhere to be seen but Hojo monitored Silver who had somehow lived.
"It hurts…," said Silver.
Many years later…
"IT HURTS!" Silver screamed, now age twenty-six.
"Silver, said a red-caped man.
"No more experiments, please," said Silver.
"Silver, it's me, Vincent," said Vincent.
"I'm sorry," said Silver, shaking and sweating.
"What were mumbling about? You seemed on edge before you collapsed at the old Shinra Manor," said Vincent, listening intently.
"I had a nightmare about him," said Silver.
"Who?" asked Vincent.
"My dad, Hojo I mean," said Silver.
"I see…," said Vincent.
"Are you okay?" asked Silver shyly.
"Hojo….He's done horrible things and not only to me and Lucrecia," said Vincent.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know he hurt you too," said Silver.
"Don't be sorry, Silver. He'll never get away with this," said Vincent. He looked at her sympathetically but said nothing. Silver didn't even know how to cheer him up.
"I'll avenge Lucrecia and you as well," said Vincent.
"Thank you. I'll help if you want. I don't want anyone else to be hurt by him," said Silver.
"You're goodhearted," said Vincent with a slight smile. He walked out of the room and motioned for Silver to come.
"Cloud and the others are ready to go," said Vincent. Silver followed him outside.
