Chapter 4

Four years later…

"Well Sephiroth…welcome to SOLDIER training," Navarro said.

"Yeah whatever," Sephiroth said and rolled his eyes.

"But you still have 2 years to go before you join," Navarro said turning to Cassandra.

"Good," she said. Navarro narrowed his eyes. Sephiroth shook his head.

"I might just ask Hojo to convince the president to allow you in now though," Navarro said.

"No one would miss you that's for sure," she smirked.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Take it anyway you want…I'm just saying…"

"You couldn't hurt me even if I was tied up and weaponless."

"…you wanna say that again?" Cassandra asked.

"You heard me clearly," Navarro said.

"You wanna prove your point?"

"Why? You know I'm right. Why humiliate you?" Sephiroth stepped away from both of them.

"I've had it with you! I've put up with you for 4 years now! I'm tired of it!" Cassandra yelled and lunged at him.

Navarro smirked and jumped back away from her. "Come and get me," he said.

"Gladly," she said.

She ran at him but jumped to the side the same time he did. She spun and caught him in the stomach with her foot. He staggered back and looked at her with an evil smile. Without warning he ran at her and hit her to the floor.

"I didn't fall. You did. Now get out of here," he said as she got back up. Clenching and unclenching her fists she walked away from them. Sephiroth watched after her but soon his attention was caught by Navarro as he was given his new instructions.

Cassandra grumbled to herself as she walked down the hall towards her room. She was tired of this! She wanted to get out…to leave this place…to start over. She stopped and let her thoughts sink in.

"Ha! I'm only 13 and here I am thinking about starting over…" she shook her head and continued on her way. Another thought came to mind.

Her bad mood slowly faded. It was risky but she would be able to pull it off. She had 2 years before it was impossible to escape…but that was plenty of time for her. She only had to have time to talk to Sephiroth by himself and…why did she need him?

She could do it by herself. But he was treated the same as she was…She decided that they both deserved a new life.
