The Diary Of A Specimen
#Part Two: Green Eyes #
¨^Disclaimer: once again I don't own any of the characters in this fic.yet. ^__^ you never know...well enjoy.¨^
Aeris had no idea how long she had been sitting on the floor crying, when she suddenly heard
steps out side the door. Her senses once again was set on high voltage. She was sure that it
was Hojo. With his threat in fresh memory she curled up almost like a ball and her face was
hidden beneath her long hazel hair. Her ears sharpened as she heard the steps stopping just out
side the door. She heard Hojo speak." Don't go easy on her just because she's a girl, she is
just a specimen like the rest." The voice that answered was a deep and masculine one." Yes
sir I know, but why do you need my help?" she heard Hojo reply but she couldn't hear all of
his words, but she did hear." She." there was silence." disobeyed me. and I want you to
teach her a little lesson." Hojo laughed an emotionless laugh. The other voice did not answer
but she knew what was coming.long lasting torture. She began to panic once again but over
the panic she could not help but to be curios. Who was the mystical man that Hojo had
brought. She had not seen another soul for years, and now when she finally got the
opportunity she was going to be tortured. It was not fair! It just wasn't fair! Why would she
live in such isolation? Her whole life had been the same always on the run until she was
captured. Enough was enough. She knew that she did not have the strength to escape jet. But
one day, one day she was going to avenge the death of her parents. The short moment Hojo
and the other man was standing out side the door seemed like forever. She tried to keep calm.
But Hojo really did scare her, and this time he really had gone for help. He had never done
that before and she could feel her whole body shivering with fright. She tried to sit still, she
was not going to let him know she was afraid. She would be strong like always. As she was
sitting there in the corner trying not to show just how scared she was, she could hear the door
slide open and two men walking into the room that now was dead silent except for Aerises un-
even breaths. She immediately could feel two pairs of eyes looking at her. She did not look
up, because then her panic would have been obvious. But she really was curios, who was that
mysterious man. She heard a swooshing sound of the slide-door closing, her only way to
escape. She took a deep breath, she was trapped like a dog. But she still had her dignity. She
was just about to rise when she heard Hojo speak. " There's that ancient bitch I was telling
you about." She could feel Hojo Pointing at her, but she did not look up. His voice had been
cold and low like when a snake drew a breath. She could hear one of them taking a few steps
towards her and then the person stopped, as the person had walked she had heard a swooshing
sound like when cloth flew in the air. So she was pretty sure it wasn't Hojo. He made more of
a slippery low sound like a dragon sneaking up on its prey. She had a sudden urge to look up.
To see whom Hojo had brought, but she didn't. And as she was sitting there concentrating on
not to shiver the other man spoke. " Sir what do you want me to do?" his voice now was a
little unsure. Aeris noticed that, so this was not one of those emotionless bastards that had
captured her. Aeris could not help but to feel somewhat relived, she was going to survive.
Deep inside she knew it , she could feel her body start to relax. Her main mission was to
survive she could concentrate on the rest later. She once again could hear Hojos hart piercing
laugh. And when it died out she could imagine the glance of madness in his eyes, the glance
she had seen to many times, he spoke once more." Firs of all get her of the floor.and then
well see."his voice and words had sent Goosebumps across Aerises back. And as she heard
him brake out into laughter again, the other man took the final few steppes and he was now
so close that even over Hojos laugh she could hear him breath. She kept her position suddenly
afraid of whatever pain would be brought upon her. And as she heard him crouch beside her
she tried to pull away, but it was to late he had a good grip on her wrist and he was not about
to let go, as far as that was concerned she was sure. Her face still was covered by her hair, so
the man holding her could not see her face, which would had been good if it had not blocked
her view. She shook her head violently and before she knew it she was talking. "NO!" her
voice had been soft but still demanding. She spoke again knowing it would make no
difference." Please let go.please." her head was turned from him so he still couldn't se her
face, and although she knew it was of no use she tried to rid herself of his grip. But his grip
was even harder then Hojos, God he was strong. As she damned her own weakness she could
hear Hojo laughing at her from the other side of the room. Enough was enough. she
suddenly became silent and still. She slowly turned her head to face whoever was holding her,
and her long beautiful hair settled down on her back and shoulders and her angelic face
was smiling softly, but her eyes remained all knowing and sad. What she saw almost
shocked her, it was a man with the same angelic features like she, his long silver hair reached
his waist and even further down. As her forest green eyes met his green mako infused ones.
She wondered if there was such a thing as destiny. For a moment Hojos laugh seemed to fade
away. The silvered haired man showed no emotions, but he was feeling more then he showed
she knew it. He must have felt the same because his gaze quickly turned away from her to
Hojo. But his grip didn't budge one bit and her wrist was beginning to hurt. But she did not
try to free herself of his grip, she knew that would just bring her more pain than necessary, as
she stood there with a hurting wrist she could not help but wonder why. Wonder why pain
was necessary whatsoever, she hadn't done anything wrong. If someone was doing wrong it
was Hojo, she had never seen Hojo suffer, or shake whit angst. She wondered how he would
feel if he was the "specimen" she doubted that he would be able to take that. She looked up
when she heard the man speaking to Hojo." Now what, sir?" Hojo finally had stopped
laughing, and was looking even crazier then usual. He slowly began walking towards them.
Aeris once again could feel the panic grow inside her. And then he said the words, the words
she had feared so." Hold her sephiroth...hold her hard..." the look on Hojos face was not
pleasant and his grin was so big that you could see his yellow teeth. So that was his name.
Sephiroth. She did not have much time to take in the new information before Sephiroth turned
her back against his body, and griped her both hands, she tried to move but she couldn't, and
even if she could where would she run? She was trapped she had nowhere to run. But she
would not scream she wouldn't, she wouldn't cry. Because she knew that would sound like
music to Hojos ears. And as she watched Hojo get closer to her she started shivering, but only
lightly. It could be felt but not be seen. He was only a few steps from her when he stopped, he
grinned at her and spoke directly to her." See my precious.now you can't escape can you?"
his grin got wider as he watched her but she didn't show him how scared she really was. She
looked up at him. And she gritted her teeth together. He had crossed the line a long time ago.
Without even thinking she spat him in the face, to her great pleasure her saliva hit him right
on the nose. Hojo quickly dried it away whit a Kleenex he had been charring in his pocket,
almost as he had expected her to react the way she had reacted. But his grin was not as big
anymore. He closed the short distance between them. And he leaned forward his nose almost
touched hers, he whispered almost so quiet that she couldn't hear him." Bad move little
girl.bad move. I'll make you hurt so badly that you will ask me.no beg me to kill you, just
to let you out of your misery." He had sounded more snake like then ever and Aeris really
took his threat seriously. He had always done what he had promised, why would he stop now?
Hojo backed up a little from her and the look on his face was not pleasant. She looked up and
her green eyes met his black ones, then she spoke. Silent but still soft." I'm not afraid of
you." but truth to be told she was, she was scared to death and he must have noticed that
because all he did at her words was laugh. She once again tried to break free from sephiroths
grip, but he was to strong. She closed her eyes just waiting for the first blow to hit her. To her
great surprise it didn't come. She slowly opened her eyes again. Why was he doing this, did
he find it funny? She certainly didn't. As Hojo moved closer to her, she turned her face from
him. Once again he gripped her cheek and forced her to look at him. His face was so close to
hers that she could smell his sour breath .The smile on his face, that yellowing grin. The hand
that was not holding her cheek had made its way to the side of her body, carefully stroking
back and forward. She could feel him shivering, but for what reason? It was almost like he
had forgot about sephiroths presence. But she could still feel him holding her. She couldn't let
Hojo continue what he was doing she just wouldn't let him. Maybe she was a little naïve but
this naïve, NO WAY! She was going to break free she wasn't totally helpless after all. Her
arms were back bound but she still had her legs, she could kick. Yes, but there was two of
them and only one of her. Even if she did fight , in the long run it wouldn't make a difference.
She didn't have anywhere to run, the door was locked and the only key-card was laying in
Hojos chest-pocket. Yes that was it! She just needed sephiroth to let go, and the rest would be
a piece of cake. When she was free she could "accidently" touch his chest and that would be
that. She could easily escape his grasp and get out of the room. What she would do when she
was out of the room. That would be a later problem. She knew it wasn't going to be easy but
it was worth a shot. What she was about to do disgusted her, but it was for the greater good.
She took a deep breath before she looked up and met his gaze, she smiled with all of her
angelic grace, and then she spoke low and soft. " You can tell him to let go now.I wont
run.I have no where left to run." Hojo stopped whatever he was doing and just looked at
her, suddenly suspicious. Aeris tried to keep smiling which was hard. Since Hojos gaze
seemed to look straight thru her He spoke once again but his voice seemed a little distant.
"Let her go." for the first time in a long time Sephiroth spoke. "Sir? Are you sure sir?" a
little nod from Hojo was all he got as reply. As Aeris felt Sephiroth letting her go she felt a
slight happiness .A small victory for mankind a great victory for Aeris. At least now she could
move. She faced Hojo with the same smile that she had wore before and she took a step
towards him, that was all it took she was standing just mere centimeters from him, she placed
one of her hands on his chest and leaned forward her lips was so close to his that If she had
spoke they would have touched. As she had the Card- key in her hand she hurried to put it to
safety in one of her pockets then she spoke, no more then a whisper. " Who is stupid now?"
she quickly turned away from him leaving him Breath taken and shocked. Before he even had
the time to react she had already opened the door and in the next second she had slid out of
the room, running thru corridor after corridor she could
hear running steps behind her but above that she could hear the planet." Yes
child.run.run."
