The Only Constant is Change

Chapter 1

"What's wrong? Is the Albhed getting tired?" The dark voice rang through the silent, prison like room.

A dull blade painfully strolled up the red, wet skin. The passionate kiss between the blade and the skin was unbearable. The young Albhed squirmed, but never spoke, for this was normal. It was a game that was played, a game that humiliated and tore the Albheds apart. Ever since the war and the tragic death of the Bevelle – born summoner, the Albheds were hated, despised, loathed and thought only as foul, untamed animals.

"Awww, the little bitch won't reply….you Albheds have too much honor and pride," the man leaned closer to the Albhed and licked the bleeding ear; "I know how to take care of that, General." He turned around and picked up a syringe. The Albhed's eyes began to swirl, death was knocking on the door.

"You know the routine I'm sure, we torture you, break you, and poison you, don't worry, you will still be alive, after all, you are our best customer, poor Cid, must be devastated." The fierce green eyes glared daggers at the man.

"Don't worry, he will get his daughter in one piece, he always does, doesn't he?" The sharp pinch of the needle fell upon the smooth skin. Red foam came from the Albhed's mouth, the body lost control, and the last thing the Albhed saw was the man unzipping his pants.

"Seph? Are you in here?" The curious raven- haired youth opened an office door. He found his target talking angrily on the phone with who seems to be the President. For the past five months, something about Sephiroth wasn't right.

Sephiroth growled, apparently not liking what the voice on the other line was saying "Are you fucking mad Shinra? You are willing to let those mongrels walk the halls of this institution? You know of the hatred that courses through Gaia's veins. ……Yes sir, I understand, but if this doesn't suite me, I'm killing every last one of those bastards."

The phone was slammed down to its receiver. Threatening turquoise eyes peered from behind cold silver hair, "What?" he spat at the young soldier.

"Seph, what was that about?"

"You dare speak to me with that tone of voice? We are not friends, you are a subordinate. You will speak to me like a General. Do I make myself clear Zackary?"

Zack's facial features softened, but not in kindness, he was hurt. Something was up, and he had to find out.

"I demand an answer Soldier."

"Crystal clear General, I apologize deeply." Zack kept his eyes are Sephiroth's chest, he couldn't look in his lifeless eyes; a sigh escaped his lips.

"Leave, your presence irritates me greatly." Zack was caught off guard by the order, but on the other hand, he was expecting it. Zack saluted and hurried out the door.

"Zacky, where are you going?" A petite blonde haired beauty asked as Zack walked through the General's office door. "Oh, you're back, Julia. Hey, since you're around Seph so much, has he seemed, different lately?" The young secretary stopped typing and looked up as to think, "you know Zacky, I think you are right, he has been colder than usual lately, but he always is to me anyway. I don't think he prefers women." Julia was a beautiful creature no doubt, she was the talk of the office, but, she just wasn't pretty enough for Sephiroth, for he turned her down 23 times.

"Well, maybe you should keep an eye out for me, okay? I gotta run. See ya." Zack ignored the fanatic hand wave Julia gave him. He had to find Angeal and fast.

"…ku….Ri...K….Rikku?" The bed shifted as emerald eyes softly fluttered open. Looking around the room, several familiar faces surrounded her in what seemed to be a hospital room.

"Neggi, you're awake, I was so worried about you."The tattooed man jumped around like a child on a sugar rush. A well-built man stepped forward and placed his hand on the girl's forehead.

"Rikku, how are you feeling?" His voice was so smooth, like a lullaby. Rikku let a small smile peek through.

"Vydran, I am….alright. Nothing out of the ordinary really." With this the man flinched. It hurt him that his own daughter had to suffer his curse.

"The doctors have stabilized you, but I suggest you rest a little so your body gets use to the new blood." She heard the same thing every time these things happen. The syringe that the man shoved into her skin, it was filled with a vile poison. A poison that affects an Albhed so severely, it can easily kill them. If they are lucky enough, their blood can be removed in time and replaced with new blood, but it takes adjusting to.

Rikku moved slowly, pain shooting up through her back, Damn Vilgrayt, why can't he go rape a chocobo? Rikku sighed inwardly as she swung her feet to the side of the bed.

"Cid." That voice, could it be? The room turned toward the imposter. Silent gasps echoed throughout the room.

The man name Cid stood astonished, "Auron, it's been too long my friend." After studying his face, Cid saw a worried look in his friend's eye.

"Cid, we must speak, alone. Something has come up." Cid nodded and leaned in to kiss his daughter on her forehead. He excused himself and followed Auron out of the room.

"So, looks like sleeping beauty woke up."

"Heya, you watch it Gippal, you better not annoy her or I kill you!" Rikku rolled her eyes, her brother, what a character, always standing up for her. He's done that ever since that day. Rikku shook her head to rid the nightmare. She came back to reality to hear Brother and Gippal still at it. She loved them, dearly. She would go through any type of torture for them, even if it cost her life. Her head became light, the side effect of new blood of course.

I wonder when I will be doing rounds again.

Ok, it's a start on my new story, I have cooked this up for 4 years and I have decided to try and put it to words. Since it's a start, it will be pretty rough, but I will get back into writing mode. And as a fore warning, there will be a lot of torture scenes (rape included). I thought I might go easy on the first chapter. It is a very complicated cross over between FF8, FF 10, and FF 7, but I have thought many things out and I know how to link them together very well. Anyway, I hope you will Review and keep my spirits up so I can write more, I haven't written anything in months, so, be kind 

Much love
