I am so sorry! I have been so busy I haven't had time to work on a chapter. Please don't stop reading because as you can clearly see I have updated a chapter! I intend on releasing at least one a week. I may perhaps release two, but that depends on how much you comment. Okay, people have been wondering why I made Genesis that way. Well to be honest at first I wasn't sure the reasons to why I did it. I finally decided because of seeing the play. Genesis is an actor! Yay, right? Can you guess what character he plays and for what play. I will give you a clue. It's for a musical and the clothing he wore will be a big help. Leave me a comments and maybe in those comments if you want to make a guess. I will reveal his performance in upcoming chapters. Thanks for not chasing me down with pitch forks and torches. At least I don't think so. *Glances outside the window to see angry people.* "Got to run!"
Sorry, enough talking from me. That's not why you're reading this. Time to get this story on the road. I own nothing obviously. Time to run from the angry mob quickly! AHH!
Chapter 3:
*Angeal's point of view.*
I handed a copy of the video to the news reporters hoping they show it on air soon. They made me wait as they watched it. I of course edited it so they would see Genesis taking her away and escaping through the portal. I also left the part where he flipped me off. The world should see the madness to this all even though I felt horrible about it. Genesis must have felt worse since he was the one that had to kill her.
As I stood outside the room waiting patiently, I couldn't help but listen on the people inside the room. They all were gasping and then all of a sudden the door opened quickly. "I will give you a hundred thousand gill for it. No other news station will give you as much as I am willing to pay. I will also give you an extra ten thousand if you identify the woman in the video." He offered in a rush of words. I smiled sadly at him as I thought it over. "This will be shown all over the world correct?" I asked softly hoping so. "Of course it will be shown all over Cocoon and all over Gaia. Hell I will even put on our next show which starts in thirty minutes." He said quickly. I nodded in agreement.
"The woman in that video goes by the name of Lightning Farron. Now make the check out to Serah Farron." I said in an unemotional voice. I couldn't afford to show any because I had to keep up the pretense of being a video man. Then again if I didn't show at least a little bit of remorse then I would look a cold hearted jerk. I didn't want to appear that way. "That was Lightning Farron so why am I making a check out to Serah Farron?" He asked. I stared at like he was the cold hearted joke. "Lightning would have wanted to money to go to her sister. Now would you be so kind as to hurry so I can get back to work." I hissed through my teeth. He nodded and then rushed out of the room like a bat out of hell. He returned minutes later with the check in hand. He handed it over to me and I rushed out of the building. I had to get to Serah's house as soon as possible.
*Snow's point of view.*
The sound of someone banging on our front door woke us all from the dead of sleep. I stood up off the couch carefully rolling Serah off me. She was still waking up. I stepped over Hope and Vanille, who were cuddling, and then I had to walk around Dodge who was passed out between a sleeping Fang and Sazh. Everyone here was really into cuddling. I knew the person at the door wasn't Lightning because she had a key and wouldn't want to wake us all up. That was the last thing she would have done.
I walked over to the door slowly. When I opened it, I was greeted by the man from the beach. His crimson haired friend wasn't with him and I didn't think anything of. "Hey Aaron, where's your friend Garret?" I asked curiously as Aaron walked into the room. "You need to turn on the television to the news immediately. I just heard something and I rushed here immediately." He said as he walked into the living room. I shut the door then followed after him.
Everyone was awake but just barely. Serah looked at him oddly for a moment. I picked up the remote from the counter turning on the television and changing it to the global new station. "We have just recently received video footage that may shock you all citizens. It was given to us not long ago by an anonymous person. Here it is now." The reporter said and then the screen went black.
The video began with showing the rooftop of a building. It was as though the person filming was in a building next to this one on a higher floor. Then all of a sudden a flash of pink hair ran into view. She was being chased by someone in all black. "Lightning!" We all cried without realizing as the person in black began punching her around.
She put up a good fight, but the man immediately had her and was walking towards the edge. Serah grabbed my arm tightly. She was starting to cry as well as the others. The man suddenly just threw her off the building then looked at the camera knowing its exact place. He flipped us off then disappeared.
The video immediately flashed off going back to the reporter. "The woman that has been thrown from the building went by the name Lightning Farron. Her body has yet to be recovered." The reporter said before I grabbed the remote and shut the television off. "She can't be dead." Hope whispered sadly. We all stared at the blank screen quietly for what seemed like forever before looking up at Aaron. He was nowhere to be seen. He just disappeared like that. He didn't even say goodbye to us.
*Genesis's point of view.*
I slipped through the portal carrying her in my arms. Her body was limp against me. Her flesh ice cold as if there were no more life in it. When I looked around where the portal had taken me, I discovered the familiar lab.
Hojo and Shinra stood by a table talking about something. I didn't really care what they were saying I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I laid her body down on the metallic table. That was when she jumped. She made a loud scream that echoed in the room. "I thought I told you to kill her!" Shinra yelled at the top of his lungs. I looked around in panic. I was unsure what to do.
"Kill her you over pompous moron!" Hojo commanded. I looked down at her trying to hold her arms down to keep her from scratching me. I closed my eyes painfully trying to block out her face as my fingers sought her throat. I took a deep breath as I gripped my hands grasping her soft throat. With one final breath I squeezed as tightly as I could.
She fought me as I took the life from body. Her struggles slowed down until she no longer fought me. I hadn't realized that I was sobbing until I felt a hand on my shoulder. My hands released her as I turned to Angeal. I hadn't realized his arrival. "I am sorry." He said. I nodded coldly as I removed the tears away from my face. "Let's get back home. Zack will be wondering where we are. Come on." I said as I walked towards the exit.
Angeal didn't follow me. He stayed behind to say something to Shinra and Hojo. I didn't quite care even though he handed them something. I continued walking until I was completely out of the building. Angeal managed to catch up with me by the time we were standing in the parking lot. "Can you drop me off at the theatre, please? Tell Zack I will bring home pizza tonight." I said softly. I needed to focus on something other than what I just did for the second time tonight. Killing her twice was just the thing that set me off.
"Yeah sure of course. I will tell Zack when I see him." Angeal said softly. I climbed into the car then buckled myself up. Her eyes flashed in my head. Her smile and laughter from the beach stuck in my memory. I wished I didn't betray her. I wish I hadn't… Oh Mother, what have I done? What will they do with her? Will they do what they did to Zack, Angeal, and I?
Sorry, this chapter is extremely short. At least I updated, finally. Well I should be updating the next chapter in a couple days. Be prepared, the chapter will be extremely long. I am talking at least 10,000 words or more.
Oh and I am not sure who to pair Lighting with. I was also thinking of adding some new characters. Let me know who I should add.
Sorry for the delay. Promise it won't happen again. Please comment. I love you all. Please COMMENT!
XOXO,
Vix Vik
