Sweet Dreams
Chapter Four: The General Takes A Captive
Sephiroth has no idea why he had done it. Why he had rescued this girl, this cetra, why he was taking her with him, or.at least he tried to convince himself he didn't know. Deep down though, he knew, he felt it, within him not only did he need her but this was his calling, the planet had sent him to be her protector that had to be it..
He stared at the girl he had rescued, and then taken captive. He had taken her to his home, laid her in his bed. She had fallen asleep after the attack on her by the men who would have raped her and perhaps murdered her had it not been for him. Who would have thought he, General Sephiroth, would do something kind, do something to help another living being? He definitely wouldn't have..
His eyes ran over her body, she turned to her side, whimpering slightly in her sleep. Was she having nightmares? He hoped not.Sephiroth didn't want this poor girl to be tortured even more than she already had. This young woman had already lived through more pain than most people did in their lives. She had struggled.
Sephiroth shook his head, he had begun to respect this girl, and to actually care about her. He couldn't let that happen, even if the Planet had rescued him from death to protect her.he couldn't care about her that would ruin his appearance. People may think of him as only a poser, but he was the REAL Sephiroth. He was the man who lived in darkness.who didn't care for anymore.
He found himself torn again, he respected her, cared for her even.but he also wanted to reach out now, and strangle her. Make her die, make her suffer even more. He had killed men to save her. What was that saying? 'A life for a life'? He would take her life then.
But as he reached for her, he could not do it, because just then, she opened her eyes and stared up at him with those heavenly green pools of hers. He stumbled backwards, showing weakness, frailty. He pressed himself back against the wall, and slipped down so that he rested with his knees pulled to his chest. This was destroying him.her mere look could reduce him to..to a child.
He abhorred her for that, but even with that, he knew he would never be able to kill her, never be able to harm her again.she deserved life. She among all people was perhaps the only person worthy to live on this world. She was his cetran princess, and now.his captive, his to protect.
He stood now, and coughed, he had to show strength.
"You should be thanking me." he said, his voice cold and collected.
"I..Thank you, but.why did you save me? You hate me, you killed me! Why would you save me!?" The brunette asked, fear shining in her beautiful eyes.
"Because." Sephiroth began, his eyes averted. He had to think of a way to tell her.
A/N: Cliffhanger heh, anyways.sorry that this chapter wasn't long or even that good, but I tried!
