Chapter 1. Light The Darkness With Your Imagination.
When I decided to in role in SOILDER, I never gave it much thought as how I'd be treated for being the first woman-or girl to man up and become a hero. I wanted to be that SOILDER that everyone admired from affair and bestow hope to the broken. it all seemed like a far of dream just waiting for me, waiting for me to save everyone from the pain they felt... the heart ache the loss everything...but I was weak, but also I was strong.
I was going to put all the pain and sadness behind me and the taunting of being a girl... they said I was never going to make it. Ha, I spit in the faces of all who doubted me, I mean, here I am, standing in front of the Shin-ra building where the head courtiers laid, for SOILDER. I hope this is the right think to do…
I drew in a deep breath filling my lungs with air and made my way inside, pushing the door open feeling the ever-so-cold air brush against my hot sticky skin only to, on contact, dry the beads of sweat that found their way down the curves of my necks and down towards my new breasts'.
had just turned 16 today, but that's not the reason why I was excepted, not because I was a girl, but I had nothing else, but talent. The head honcho knew that, for I was his dead girlfriends daughter. As bad and rude as that might sound its not actually, he wanted to take me in but I declined.
Abruptly I was called from my thoughts from across the long front building, it was the female receptionists. they motioned for me to come forward. I nodded my head once and walked forward hearing my black on white knee high chucks squeak slightly as I crossed the distance. I pulled my hair from my face and behind my ear as I looked at them.
once I stood before the front desk the one on the left eyed me for a moment than pressed a button before her and spoke into her head piece that was hiding behind her long auburn hair.
"Sir, the girl is here to see you." she smiled as she spoke the word girl. I arched a black brow at her as she looked back at me with a smile. Yes I was a girl but I didn't like for people to be all smug about it. I mean common, I am young but lady I look older than you.
I smirched at the comment in my head and suppressed a chuckle of dark humor.
"The head Director Lizard will be seeing you on the top floor, if you need directions any further than ask the 2nd's and 3rd's they'll gladly help you." She smiled halfheartedly as she looked at me with a glow of what looked like hatred that burned in her Green eyes.
I acted like I didn't understand the emotions playing across her face and smiled slightly. "thanks" I whispered.
I finally turned away from the two women, that stared at me throwing daggers my way as I looked up at the grand red carpeted stair case beside the receptionist desk, than back to see another identical stair case leading to the same area.
Fancy, Fancy if I do say so myself.
I yawned covering my mouth with my small pale hand as I walked up the half spiral stairs, a man and women in nice formal wear passed me by as they paid me little to no attention. I watched them glide down the stairs, speaking hushed about their mission. I continued to what seemed like the second floor where I saw the elevators in the far distance.
turning in a circle once i reached the last step and carried myself to the rail, to over look the bottom floor. I watched the man and the women go hurriedly out one of the many front doors. The receptionists watched as they ran, and immediately press her fingers against her ear piece and linked with someone on a different level.
I sighed shaking my head from side to side as I pulled my hands away from the rail and walked over to a small but grand fountain.
I looked down at the beautiful statue fountain and smiled looking into the water to see my reflection bounce up at me in the pure sweet water than had the scent of flowers strange huh.
Looking down into the rippling soundless water it occurred to me that, as happy as I felt, my face and eyes showed other wise... I stared down into the mako colored bluish green eyes and sighed. my pale skin looked almost sickly but flawless, my jet black hair passing my lower back hung on my left shoulder, the reflections full lips were pulled open slightly, in a line, gawking at the dead beauty that stared into those eyes... I than realized I was inches away from the reflection now, I had pulled away to now look around me, I hope no one saw me, if they did they must think I was picking my teeth or maybe worse... my nose.
I chuckled softly easing my tense muscles and turned away from the fountain and continued on towards the elevators. Standing before the chrome doors I pressed the up button on the right and smiled as I waited to board the elevator.
-
I sighed heavily as I made it to the SOILDER floor and looked out of the elevator like a scared little child. seeing no one at the moment I stepped out and made my way into the glossy reflective building room. I groaned softly and walked further passing a mako room.
Chills ran down my spine as I listened to the sudden elevator doors close with a ding, just so happened I had to pass one of the worse places for me, when that damn sound had to grace me with its unwanted sound.
As I walked I fixed my arms around my white cotton sweater that concealed my lacy grey and white sundress, witch was sleeveless, almost backless. I just so happened to look down at my reflection on the floor, there I saw up my own dress! How embarrassing!
Yeah yeah I was wearing shorts under, but gosh I would never have thought the floors would be so shiny like a mirror that would allow me to see up my own dress.
I quickly snapped my head back up and continued walking as if I didn't notice and ran my fingers threw my hair, there I saw a room, room 49, training room. I couldn't see into the room, but I heard strained fighting inside, someone must be getting the pulp beaten out of them… so I steered away from that room and finally found what I was looking for, I passed the lounging area, with the outrageously beautiful view of Midgar and walked up in front of a glass door, reading Director Lizards office.
I drew in a deep breath than exhaled, watching the door slide opened as I took a step, once it opened I blinked a few times than entered, seeing a large rectangular table, and a man with his back to me sitting at the head of the table, looking up at a rather big screen that didn't even take up the whole wall even thought it should.
I stood in front of the door as it closed looking around the room shyly as I waited.
"come in come in" his deep voice called to me, his back still to me.
I stood a few feet behind him, slowly he turned to look up at me. as I looked down at the thin glasses on his pale face, his blonde hair he moved behind his ear. he crossed his legs and smiled leaning back in his chair after shaking my hand. He was in his usual Formal wear he always wore when he came to my house to visit me and my mother.
"Ah! its been a while Callen!" he chuckled softly looking at me.
I nodded with a small smile.
no it hasn't…
"yeah… it has… you haven't changed one bit Lizard" I whispered as I looked at him
I had run away a few months ago, and just returned here, to become a SOILDER.
"I have changed in some ways Callen." he examined me with interest "you have grown up quite well..."
I nodded without saying a word.
he stood up and I gulped. "alright, I called in three 1st class SOILDERS to assist me in deciding weather you are SOILDER material. "grinning coyly for a moment he put his hands behind his back and stood before me, canceling whatever he was looking at on the monitor.
I heard the glass door slide open and three different sets of foot steps entered one after another. "Callen, I'd like you to meet, 1st class Sephiroth, 1st class Angeal, and last but not least 1st class Genesis." the three men looked down at me as they nodded, in respect, as I turned my body to look at the ever so handsome men before me, with my hands behind my back I smiled.
They all looked like the posters around Midgar, they sounded and looked better than all the talk shows and the Fan girls dolls and... stuff.
Genesis I presume, smiled, his red hair played in his handsome face, his eyes too, Green almost like bright orbs of bright green, he, was slimmer than the other two, he had muscles of course but not as much as them. He wore red and black leather, his tight trench, reached the floor his arms across his chest as he smiled down at me. The one and foremost fun thing about Genesis is that fact that like I he liked Loveless.
My eyes fluttered to the second man, Angeal, he was handsome, he smiled slightly as he looked down at me with his blue orbs, and his black blue hair shifting in his face for a slight moment as he looked at Lizard. Though Angeal looked a bit older in age than the other too didn't change the fact that he was still handsome.
than there was the one that I couldn't take my eyes away from, Sephiroth, with his long silver hair, his captivating mako eyes. he was the peak of any woman's fantasy, even if they were fan girls of Genesis or Angeal's he was toned and skinny, in black leather, with his almost bear chest showing, his chiseled abs looked rock hard.
"its nice to meet you all " I said seriously "its a honor"
Lizard looked at the men than back to me, "well now we don't have all day, lets get this show on the road, shall we?"
"we shall" said Sephiroth
.I looked up at the men in the room slightly confused. I was somewhat left out of the conversation…
Sephiroth came towards me and now circled me, as if he was staking his prey. I gulped as I looked up at him as he stopped behind me, placing his large cold rough hands on my shoulders as he leaned his face towards my ear but I knew he wasn't talking to me. But I flinched as his cool scented breath kissed my cheek.
"I'll test her" he ginned "she will match up to my strengths it seems."
the other men looked down at me than at Sephiroth and nodded their heads leading us towards the door. the whole time Sephiroth walked beside me he had his hand on the small of my back never releasing his hand. I felt slightly uneasy but continued acting as if his hand was never there.
-
The three 1sts, the Director and i stood outside the training room, looking at everyone threw a training/ illusion helmet, with a somewhat worried look on my face as they looked down at me.
"you are to train with Sephiroth, during your training we will decide weather or not, you are SOILDER worthy." Said Lizard in a almost dead tone.
"Don't worry about holding back" Angeal paused, to look at Sephiroth with a smile, "hell knows he wont even consider the thought" as Angeal spoke Sephiroth smiled at the truth he let loose.
the door slide open and Sephiroth and I walked in, once the door closed, Sephiroth handed me a thick, but somewhat small sword, it was almost my height, but I ignored it, once he let the sword into my hands I struggled slightly keeping it up for it was truly heavy. I looked towards the glass door I came in threw to see Three young figures standing outside the door trying to look in, now pressing their ears against the glass.
brushing off the uneasiness and with some unknown strength I lifted the sword up to Sephiroth like he did me, his long sword was close to reaching me, so I backed away slightly and looked at Sephiroth.
Around us the dark room that was once nothing but a large weird looking training room, was now changing. small squares of green light fluttered up from the ground and formed, so suddenly, was the surrounding area of Mako reactor four, towards the slums, and train station. It than accorded to me that now that the helmet was suddenly gone, was this real?
it didn't seem that way, the breeze passed me by sending a cold chill down my spine.
With a blink of an eye, Sephiroth lunged towards me and swung his sword across my chest cutting the white sweater slightly to now slightly hang off my shoulders.
I gasped and stumbled away almost falling off the reactor. I looked back at Sephiroth who swung his sword at me again but I ducked under in time and lunged at him but he jumped away and deflected my swipe. Sephiroth swung his sword at me again as I struggled back, than ran off toward what looked like the safest part of the reactor, but to my dismay no matter where I managed to run to he was already there, I stopped suddenly to defend myself as he swung his sword at me again, but he was faking it, he went under my sword and stabbed the side of my dress, than twisted it to the side where my dress slightly ripped, showing half of my somewhat bare, but toned flat, stomach.
I groaned and spun in a small circle and slashed at his side, slightly cutting the leather at his side, braking off a leather strap that held his armor. he turned to look back at me with a cold dark look in his eyes, he smiled crookedly and shook his head
"tsk tsk tsk." he waved his empty hand towards me his pointing finger swaying side to said as he continued "bad girl..."out of no where Sephiroth was behind me and swung at my back, I felt the warm sting and metallic sent of blood run down my back, I tried not to screech, as I stumbled away holding what was left of my dress with my free hand.
I groaned as I held the sword towards him as I struggled to stand slightly hunched over my knees bent inward, the blood running down my right leg.
as I shook the pain away I lunged forward using all my strength to try and land a contact blow, but it all seemed so hard. I felt heavy, cold weak.
I shook my head at the thought of losing, as I continued on with my attacks until he swung his sword. I jumped away in time to see a big part of the reactor split at the tip, than fell to the seemingly never ending drop below us. he did it again, but this time, he disappeared than reappeared suddenly and grabbed me by my throat, and lifted me up off the floor, to where our eyes leveled.
he stared into my eyes as he clenched my throat tighter, I gasped for air as I held onto his arms now dropping the sword to pull away but he was too strong. once I heard my sword hit the ground Sephiroth grinned a evil but addicting smile, and watched as I struggled, he somewhat seemed to enjoy my pain as he strangled me.
The ever so uncontrollable feeling the saliva leak out from my lips, and my eyes filled with unwanted tears, that blurred my vision further.
"I'll take her under my wing..." Sephiroth chuckled.
the hand around my throat weaned and than release, dropping me to the floor as I coughed a groaned for air, I looked up towards him. he held a smug but somewhat lustful smile on his face as he looked down at my half dead body on the ground underneath him.
the room was filled with darkness, I couldn't see a thing, only his eyes, his glowing mako eyes, that stared down at me...like my mother told me before I left her behind in the slums...
"when nothing but darkness is around you, imagine something special, something at brings light to you heart..."
Light the darkness with your imagination...
I imagine myself... a hero...
