There was one SOLDIER named Sephiroth, who was better than the rest. But when he found out about the terrible experiments that made him, he began to hate Shinra. And then, over time, he began to hate everything. Shinra, and the people against them. Sephiroth, who hated the planet so much that he wanted to make it go away. And the people who tried to stop him. There were a lot of battles. For every battle, there was more sadness. Someone I loved went back to the lifestream too. And then it came; the chosen day. In the end, the planet itself had to make the battle stop for good. The planet used the lifestream as a weapon and when it burst out of the earth, all the fighting, all the greed and sadness, everything was washed away. Sadness was the price to see it end. It's been two years since they told me that.
His face flashed in front of my eyes and I screamed. His ashen eyebrows slanting above those greenish blue eyes, sending chills through my body in droves, as they stare at me with menacing humor dancing behind them, but soon that dreadful humor changes into disappointment and eventually pure disgust that leaves me feeling empty and worthless. That's how he always looks at me, his eyes hateful and his full lips turned up at the edges in a cruel smile. I would've never imagined that a man like him was even capable of a smile, no matter how hateful and insane it was, but he smiled at me, laughing everytime I screamed, everytime I cried, everytime I fell and everytime I dreamed.
"Azalea, my little darling sister. Who would've guessed that these sick Shinra scientist's would create the ultimate Soldier. Sister of Sephiroth and daughter the great Jenova." His voice rang in my ears that day. That day of the final battle, that day had been my worst living nightmare.
He laughed after he spoke and I screamed again when the cold metal of his long blade slid into my chest and through my heart but the pain wasn't enough to draw my attention away to the thing that hurt most. I was staring at Cloud, my eyes begging for him to stop Sephiroth, begging him to stop the pain but he did not and that hurt more than anything.
Both Sephiroth and I been injected with Jenova cells so all Soldier's were her children but I knew I would never be his friend again as I stared into his ice blue eyes. In those eyes I could see his confusion and I could also see my betrayal in his eyes. I was a part of Sephiroth and Jenova after all and all traces of our strained friendship had disappeared. His lack of assistance proving me correct. Our time together as friends in AVALANCHE had not been enough to secure our friendship so that it was strong enough to withstand a blow like this.
Sephiroth twisted his blade in my chest and I screamed again, "so weak you are sister. Those scientists seem to have done us all one big favour. They failed." He laughed and wrenched the sword out of my chest causing me to scream again but this time I found myself gurgling hot blood.
Sephiroth was right, I was a weak other wise I wouldn't have let myself slip back to the Lifestream and I wouldn't have let Cloud take on Sephiroth on his own, maybe then he would've forgiven me more easily this time and maybe he would come for me.
"Azalea?" The voice I heard this time was not gentle but it was caring. I had been kidnapped six months ago by Kadaj and his gang and I lived with them now, not as a prisoner but as a sister. They were reminamts of my mother Jenova and my brother Sephiroth, they too had come back from the Lifestream a year after I had.
I rolled over and looked into Loz's eyes and cringed. His eyes were the same color as Sephiroth's, the only difference was the cat like slits that acted as their pupils.
I moved away from Loz as Sephiroth's face filled my mind again. I knew I shouldn't blame it on Loz but he looked too much like Sepiroth. During my time staying with them I had found that only one of the brother's seemed to be able to keep the nightmares away.
Throwing the blanket towards him and jumping out of bed before kissing him on the cheek, "I'm sorry Loz, I know you only mean good but I'm going to find Yazoo." Loz sighed but nodded his head as I jogged out of my bedroom to search for Yazoo.
I checked his bedroom but he wasn't there so I went out to go get my bike. I smiled to myself as I started the engine, that was the difference between Sephiroth, Cloud and I. I could show affection and I realised as I rode that there was hope, I wasn't just another remnant, I could be my own person if I chose to be.
