Blood on a white Trenchcoat: The tragedy of Rufus Shinra
This is a story I wrote that takes place 5 years before the events of FFVII and how Rufus's heart turned to ice. Not for people who can't take sad stories
A 16 year old Rufus Shinra walked through the Shinra HQ looking for his mother. Rufus knocked on the door. No answer. Rufus tried again. No answer.
"I haven't got time for games mother. I have good news I was just made Vice President of Shinra!" Rufus said Exited. No answer. Rufus tried opening the door. The door opened and Rufus nearly vomited at what he saw.......
Tseng was sitting in the lounge across the hall when he heard a scream.
"OH GOD SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!!!" Rufus's voice screamed. Tseng ran up to the 60th floor lobby,got in the elevator and headed to the 69th floor where the Shinra family lived. He rushed down the halls and went into The Presidents bedroom. There he saw the president's young son Rufus crying over a bloody body of a woman.
"Good god that's the President Shinra's wife!!!" Tseng yelled. Rufus looked up.
"Tseng you have to help her....please I'll do anything...." Rufus said with tears on his eyes. His beautiful white Arami trenchcoat had bloodstains on it.
"I'll call a docter. Rufus just stay there. I'll do what I can. Get your father down here!" Tseng said. Rufus slowly nodded and called his father from the phone. Rufus found a note on the side of the bed.
DEAR VICTOR AND RUFUS,
I CAN'T LIVE IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE. I'M UNDER TOO MUCH PRESSURE TELL RUFUS THAT I WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF HIM.....
Rufus wailed when he saw the note just as President Shinra came in.
"COme now,what's all the fuss..." President Victor Shinra said. Victor read the note. Rufus looked for sympathy but his father had no tears in his eyes.
"Stupid woman." Victor said. Nothing more. Rufus flared up at his father.
"Y-you bastard!!!! IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE KILLED HERSELF!!!!!" Rufus yelled at Victor.
Victor stood up at Rufus.
"Whatever do you mean my dear son?" Victor said trying to be innocent.
Rufus kicked the wall.
"Your so full of shit father. You should be the one there......on the floor bleeding." Rufus said eyes full of hatred. President Shinra smiled.
"Well I'm not,get used to it boy." Victor said leaving the room.
Rufus's eyes were puffy and red.
"I HATE YOU,I HATE YOU, I SWEAR TO GOD I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rufus yelled at his father who was greeting the doctor. Rufus crawled up in a corner and cried.
The funeral was beautiful. The whole crowd was crying. The President of Shinra was making a speech on how sad he was. Everyone fell for it except for one Person: His son. Rufus glared at him. He had basiclly murdered her. He drove her to this. Rufus got up from his seat. He heard the voices of all of his close relitives talking about him as he walked through the asile.
"Poor dear he's been through hell." He heard as he walked by. He found his favorite spot in Midgar. A small tunnel. He climbed in the spot he used to play in as a child. Reeve found him and comforted him but on that day Rufus Shinra changed. He would take his anger out on the world. And 5 years later when Sephiroth killed Victor Shinra Rufus Shinra had the last laugh. But his time would be short too and he would go down in history as the most ruthless man alive. No one knew the real tragic story of Rufus Shinra.......and very few ever will.
The End
Wasn't that just so sad? Who woulda thunk huh? I guess Rufus had a reason to be so evil. I guess it goes to show that Rufus's father was the evil one.......Well I almost cried writing this but I'm proud of this piece of work. Hope you like it.
