Chapter 1
"Ahhh" Zack yawned baring his fangs as he waited in Sephiroth's office, siting on the red velvet couch he looked at the clock late again, what is he doing with Reno at such a time? He thought and chuckled; his mako blue infused eyes spotted a letter on his desk. "What do we have here?" Zack laughed and read the letter.
Dear Sliver Snake,
Prince Lazard has asked you many times, but it seems your friendship with the Werewolf, Angeal was too deep. You failed, my sliver haired child. I suppose Rufus and his minions will have to deal with this now. Anyway, about this new cadet Cloud Strife, he is promising. Supposedly he is a rare species of The Children of The Night as they call them. I'm sure you've heard of them, well he is one a rare and beautiful Wraith.
May the Sun never shine on you,
The Sire.
Zack sighed; ever since his mentor Angeal passed he had been alone and sad. He knew Genesis didn't mean to get him killed because apparently they weren't just friends. He put the letter down and left the office. He was excited about this new Wraith. Even thought he was a Werewolf and that they hunted Wraiths, He was still as excited as a puppy discovering something new. He then walked a few blocks around the empty night to the old church where his best friend passed not long ago. Zack entered and smiled as he watched the moons precious light shine through the hole in the ceiling and beneath it a patch of grass and beautiful Lunar Flower grew. Lunar Flowers only grow from the moon's light and are a light purple with white freckles in the center. Zack's passed friend's favorite flower. Zack sat on the floor and looked up at the moon. "It's been a while eh Aerith?" Zack chuckled and in a dim purple light a spirit appeared she had long chocolate brown hair put in a braid and held with a pink ribbon and she wore a light blue dress which brought out her beautiful emerald eyes. "Hello Puppy" Aerith giggled which echoed through her hollowness. "Aw man, would you stop that!" Zack grumbled and in a poof a pair of large black wolf ears and tail appeared. "Waa? A full moon already?" Zack groaned and Aeirth giggled sitting on her favorite spot on a broken pillar that fell from the night of the Great War between Vampires and Werewolf's where her own blood was shed. "I heard the Wraith Cloud Strife is going to join the cadets maybe you should mentor him, I've seen him in the spirit world he's cute" She giggled and Zack blushed, his tail wagging slightly. "I know you have a thing for blonds" Aerith teased and laughed as Zack blushed harder and he looked away muttering a few curses. "You should meet him just think about it you've been so lonely without Angeal" Aerith said and Zack smiled. "Will do" He said and smiled before getting up and waving goodbye as she slowly disappeared.
Zack looked around the hallways looking for a specific blond Wraith. He looked around some more looking through the seemingly endless hallways full of short adorable cadets. Finally he spotted him, ~so Gorgeous! ~ Zack thought and scowled when he saw who he was hanging out with, Joseph a blue haired vampire with his hair put in a ridiculous ponytail. Zack thought about for a while then walked out from behind the hallway and greeted the young Wraith. "Hey! You must be the new cadet?" Zack asked cheerfully a bright smile on his face. "Yeah…" Cloud murmured shyly and Zack's tail appeared and began wagging. "So you must be who all the cadets are talking about; Zack Fair?" Cloud asked giggling, and Zack's wags began to increase in speed as he stared at Cloud's blush. "Yes I am!" Zack said and puffed up his chest. Cloud laughed and smiled and Zack's tail went crazy. "Come on Cloud we got to go!" Joseph whined and Cloud nodded with a smile. How can you deal with him Cloudy? Zack asked in his head as he turned around and went back to his and Sephiroth's office. "So I've seen you've taken interest in our new little cadet" Sephiroth chuckled and Zack scowled. "You vampires…" Zack muttered and Sephiroth laughed. "That's good so now I'll make him go on missions with you" Sephiroth stated and Zack squealed. "Really?" Zack exclaimed and was bouncing up and down like a bouncy ball. "Yes, but only if you behave yourself" Sephiroth said and Zack smiled. "Alright, let's go!" Zack exclaimed and Sephiroth chuckled. "I'm sure Angeal would be happy to see how excited you are…" Sephiroth commented and Zack smiled. "Yeah, Yeah I'm sure that old lover bird is" Zack said with a big smile.
