Chapter 13

It was nearing 3 a.m. according to the clock next to Cassandra's bed. She pulled the dry cloth off her forehead and gave it a confused look. She set it on the table next to the bed and started to sit up but a weight around her waist stopped her. She looked down. An arm was wrapped around her waist. She followed the arm to its owner.

Sephiroth was next to her sound asleep. She gave a small smile and laid back down just staring at the ceiling. After a few minutes she had drifted back to sleep.

Next morning…

Sephiroth sat up and rubbed he eyes. He looked beside him and found Cassandra still asleep. He didn't remember falling asleep last night.

'Oh well,' he thought as he got up. He silently headed for the door. Before he left he put a note on the kitchen counter.

                                    ****

Cassandra woke up and hour later. She went to the bathroom and showered then changed into clean clothes when she noticed that Sephiroth was gone. She went to the kitchen when she was done to get something for breakfast.

There she found the note that was written in a cursive handwriting.

Cassandra-

Meet me in the training center after lunch.

Sephiroth

She smiled to herself as she fixed her breakfast.

"So…you want me to keep an eye out for anything wrong with Cassandra?" Zack asked just to make sure he had heard right.

"Yeah. Hojo did something to her. I just want you to keep an eye out and if you see anything like that again to tell me ASAP," Sephiroth said as he polished his sword.

"No problem," Zack said.

"Thanks. Now don't you have to go work with Cloud?"

"Oh yeah…" Zack gave a slight smirk as Cassandra entered the training room and he left.

"You wanted to see me sir," she said when she reached Sephiroth.

"Care to spar?" he asked.

"As you wish," she said and pulled her sword from its sheath.

1 month later…

'Sephiroth…my son…help me…' Sephiroth shook his head to get rid of the thoughts that drifted through his head. He had heard this voice for the past month and was getting annoyed at it.

'Yeah well maybe I don't want to help you so shut up,' he thought.

The voice fell silent. He stopped when Zack came running towards him.

"Sephiroth…I just…saw Navarro…with…her…again!" he said between gasps for breath.

"What?" Sephiroth asked.

"You heard me! I saw Cassandra with Navarro!"

"How was Cassandra?"

"Out cold from the looks of it," Zack said finally getting his breath back.

"Where was he going?" Sephiroth asked.

"Back to her room," Zack said.

"She must have gone to Hojo's lab again. But why?" Sephiroth asked more to himself.

"I heard talk about a new experiment. You don't think…" Zack let the thought hang.

"It's quite possible. I'll ask Cassandra about it," Sephiroth said starting down the hall.

Zack shook his head. "I wouldn't if I were you. Navarro's watching the door making sure no one goes in," he said.

Sephiroth stopped then nodded. "She can take care of herself for awhile. I'll talk to her when I next see her," he said.

Next day…

"Cassandra?"

Her head snapped up to see who was speaking to her. "Oh…hey Sephiroth," she said as he sat down on the bench next to her in the recreation room. (You know that room with the trees and stuff.)

 "I want to ask you about what Hojo is doing to you. Do you know anything?" he asked.

She shook her head. "I've been drugged every time. I have no clue as to what he's doing but…I don't like it…"

"Every time?"

"This was only the second time. He told me this time that I was to report to him once a month for whatever he's doing," she said.

"Don't go," he said.

She gave a short cold laugh. "You know as well as I do that he'll have some soldiers drag me to his lab if I don't," she said.

He nodded. "You're right…just try and find out what he's doing," he said standing.

"I will," she said as he walked away.

"Now Cloud…what do you do if a monster is chasing you?" Zack asked.

"Umm…Oh I know this one! You…run faster?" Cloud said.

"No…try a different answer," Zack said dully.

"Okay…you fight back?"

"Well yes but…"

"I GOT IT RIGHT!"

"NO YOU DIDN'T!" Cloud suddenly was cowering down as Cassandra smirked and walked past.

Zack sighed and shook his head slowly. "Let's try that one again…what do you do when a monster is chasing you?" he said.

"Lemme think about it," Cloud said. Zack groaned.
