Life leads to love -Chapter 4-Walking back down the stairs Olivia went back to the room where she had left Vincent, to tell him that she was going to go back to the basement to read more of the books. When she got there she found a distinct lack of Vincent. Still she decided to go to the basement alone, thinking that if Vincent wanted her he could go and look for her. Quickly making her way down to the basement library, through the swarms of bats and attacks from Ying and Yang, she finally got to her goal, only to find Vincent standing with a book held open in one hand. The title 'Injection of Jenova cells mixed with liquid materia - Experiment M25' written along the spine.
"I found this, hidden. I think it's what you are looking for?" Vincent said slowly, waiting for a reply from Olivia.
"How did you know? Unless..."
"I followed you? Yes, I didn't think of you as someone who could take care of herself." He quickly finished her sentience.
"Well I don't need protecting, I may be weak but I have different tactics." Olivia almost snapped at Vincent.
"I realise that now. I saw you fight those bats. I was about to intervene when I saw you attack one. It was very unexpected."
"I'm like that. Could I look at that book, obviously it's about me."
"Yes, but it's more of a diary than a book. I believe this is you." Vincent said as he held up a picture of a baby Olivia, it was obviously her because of the same purple hair and bright blue eyes. "It seems that you were taken from an orphanage almost as soon as you were placed there. Professor Hojo found that your blood was perfect to harbour Jenova cells long enough for them to take effect on your body." Vincent paused his eyes showing a small flash of emotion. Was that love? A lost love?
"Orphanage? I was adopted? I-i was never told." By this time Olivia had walked over to Vincent, getting a good look at the file while Vincent told her of what he had found out.
"Is that why you came here, to find out about your 'powers'?" Vincent said as soon as the emotion he was feeling had disappeared.
"Yes. Well yes and no. I've tried everywhere looking for any possible answer to my difference but I've never found any. Like I said before I was drawn here, I guess it was just fate. And also meeting you was an up-side." The last comment made Vincent go a slight shade of crimson again. "Ya know, you should stop doing that. Being pale as you are shows off blushes really well." Olivia added trying to stifle a small fit of giggles.
"Here, you take the diary and find out what you want. Then I think it would be best for you to leave." Vincent said straight faced as usual but in a much colder tone. "This place is not good for a young person such as yourself."
Olivia, taken back by the sudden change in Vincent's voice only stood there silent as she took the book from Vincent as he walked past her and back out of the basement. "Well that was strange, guess he dosen't like being made fun of."
Olivia walked slowly to the back of the library and sat down in the chair reading to herself as she did so. "Oh my, so it was liquid huge materia. No wonder I can do all sorts of magic. Let's see, I was injected as a baby when Hojo found me. When I was 3 they ran tests on me and decided how I would do leading a normal life . Taken back to the adoption center after a couple of months of testing. When I was adopted by another family Professor Hojo sent people to keep watch over me and take notes back to him."
After a couple of hours of reading Olivia finally finished. "Woah, seems I was a great success and that I was able to function well in normal society. Gee, thanks for the compliment Hojo." Olivia finally decided to go back upstairs to speak to Vincent. That is if Vincent was not still angry.
*****
Vincent sat by the piano, deep in thought 'I'm such a fool. Why is it whenever anyone shows an attraction towards me I push them away, either with no intrest or i hurt them with harsh words. I hope Olivia doesn't take what I said to heart.' Vincent stood from his position at the piano and made his way towards the stairs that led to the basement. 'I'm going to talk to her, apologise and ask her to stay.'
Vincent made his way to the stairs only to find Oliva at the top with her bags packed and looking very much ready to leave. They both stared at each other in silence, waiting for the other to speak. It was Olivia who broke the silence, and not all to well.
"I was hoping you would let me stay, you did say that you couldn't stop me from stayng if i wished so. But i will not bother you any longer, and will never bother you again. I hoped i could find out more about you, seeing as we both have different abilities, and are not all as human as we seem."
Vincent looked puzzled and was about to ask what she meant when Olivia spoke again. "I am... an experement, much like Sephiroth. Injected with Jenova cells and liquified huge materia. The way Jenova became one with my body means i can also change shape and change my voice. But i assure you know this is my 'normal' form. I haven't tried this yet but please do not be afraid."
Olivia put down her bags and closed her eyes. Visioning someone in her mind she concetrated and started to change. When she felt that she was through Oliva opened her eyes and stared at Vincent, smiling. He had his mouth wide open and a look of pure shock on his face.
It took Vincent a moment to regain his voice and when he did the first thing he said was. "How do you know who she is? How do you know what she looks like?"
It was Olivias turn to be puzzled this time. "You know this person? I just saw her picture in the diray about me. She's very beautiful"
"I know, that's one reason why I fell in love with her." Vincent cursed himself for letting even that small amout of information slip from his mouth. He had to keep reminding himself that he was talking to Olivia, not Lucresia.
Olivia took a few steps towards Vincent untill she was standing in front of him.
"Maybe you need some clousure." Olivia said, running three fingers down Vincents right cheek, then letting them fall onto his claw. She closed her fingers round his claw and held it to her heart. "It had a brief bit in the diary saying that she married Professor Hojo."
Vincent knew exactly what Olivia meant, but he was not prepared to do that.
"I-it's not right. I will only be taking adavantage of you, or vice-versa."
Olivia could stand it no longer. He she was, in the form of the woman Vincent loved and still he was not willing. She took it apon herself to make the first move. She dropped his claw and instead used her right had to cup the back of Vincents head to pull him near to her. Her left hand snaked round his waist and pulled his body flat up against hers. She tilted her head and planted a small, soft kiss on Vincents lips and then moved her head back to see Vincents reaction. Vincents had his eyes closed and he looked in a dream like state. She took this as good and kissed Vincent again, this time more forceful. She slid her tounge across his lips and to her joy her parted them, letting her have access to his mouth. She slid her tounge into his mouth and to even more joy he responded. Vincents arms wrapped themselves around Olivia and the kiss grew deeper. Olivia was amazed at how much emotion Vincent put into his kisses.
Olivia shared the most passionate kiss with Vincent then, and even though she was in the shape of Lucrecia she was still happy. She pulled away slowly and looked at Vincent again, he had a small smile on his face and she thought he whispered something. Something like 'I love you'.
