Never Too Late:
Prologue
They say there is a difference between love and lust, but really there is fine line between the two. You can lust over someone and still love them to the ends of the earth; and love someone so much that you desire their bodies fully. But how do you differentiate? Sometimes you can't, and it kills you inside; especially if you don't travel on the same side of the line as the other.
Saphorina Ebony Crescent was sixteen years old; she wasn't a typical girl at all. Where she should find joy in living, she was nothing but an angry rebel when it came to school, and at home nothing but an empty shell. Saphorina had four brothers as her only other siblings and only one of them seemed to understand her and be able to get through to her: her twin brother Sephiroth. Sephiroth and Saphorina were the oldest of the five but Saphorina was still treated as the baby sister. Could the fact she resented that have a factor in the way she was?
She used to be a well behaved kid; got straight A's and was constantly happy. But when she was fourteen something had sucked the love and happiness out of her heart. Her younger siblings had given up on her, but Sephiroth was the one that continued to stand by her, and try and figure out what was wrong with his twin. The bond they shared told him that something was terribly wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was. She had no friends, and while her mother, Lucrecia Crescent loved her children more than anything, she was too blind to see that anything was terribly wrong with her daughter. All she knew was she was a 'bad apple'.
Saphorina seemed to always be in trouble for something, it didn't matter what she did, and she was always being punished. Which is why nothing mattered to her anymore, especially not school. That's where she was supposed to be right now, but she wasn't. She was sitting in a chocobo stall leaned up against a black chocobo, asleep. It was a rare bird, and was a gift from her father, Hojo Crescent. If she loved anything besides her brother, it was Mavren, her Chocobo.
She opened her eyes, and tears stung her cyan colored eyes. She looked at the bird, a fearful look in her eyes as the sunset gleamed against her long platinum hair. The bird nuzzled her, the only living being that knew the terrible demons she kept locked within her. "I gotta go back." It was hard to tell if it was a statement or a question, but she sounded so fragile and weak. Not even Sephiroth could get that out of her.
The bird purred lightly to comfort her, but she shunned the affection and stood. "I'll be back soon. Don't worry." She tried her feeble attempt at a smile, which she failed miserably at. She didn't even pet the bird before she left him lying there sadly in his stall. Saphorina walked down the dirt trail staring at her phone. Before, she would have numerous texts from Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo…but not anymore…only Sephiroth of course. Judging from the way the text messages elevated to capital letters and exclamation points, Sephiroth was getting angry; as usual.
She walked through the woods, her pain and terror subsiding as her usual cold mask slowly covered her mind, heart, body, and soul. She put her phone away and stopped when she was just a few feet away from the clearing of her backyard as she stared sullenly at her house. She stood there for what seemed like hours, but it was only minutes as she soon realized, walking into the house.
"Saphorina!" She heard her mother exclaim as the girl took her shoes off upon entering the kitchen. "Where have you been?" She asked, her voice wavering on different pitches.
Saphorina shrugged, it did no good to lie and say she was at school, since it was apparent the school had already called her parents.
Lucrecia sighed, rubbing her temples as she looked down. "You know, this is getting really old."
'You have no idea.' She thought to herself, staring at her mother with dead eyes.
"Your father wants to see you in his study immediately." She said as the girl silently obeyed. "I just don't know what we're going to do with you, Saphorina." She heard her mother say.
'I know. Kill me.' She thought in reply as she walked down the long hallway. Her brothers were in their room doing their homework. Or they were supposed to be. They were most likely texting or playing video games. Saphorina wished she could have that luxury at the moment, but like said earlier, no matter what she did, what was about to happen was a daily occurrence, and would most likely not end until she was either dead, or when she was eighteen and could leave the city of Final Kingdom forever. She stopped and stared at the double doors before her, it was better to get it over with rather than draw it out. So, she silently knocked, and the next thing she knew she was staring into furious brown eyes.
A/N: Love it, hate it? I want to know. I'm going to write the first chapter now, so don't get discouraged by this short little thing…its only a prologue.
