"Crawling Chaos, underground
cult has summoned, twisted sound
Out from ruins once possessed, fallen city, living death
fearless Wretch, insanity, He watches lurking beneath the sea
timeless sleep has been upset
He awakens, Hunter of the Shadows is rising
immortal, in madness You dwell
Not dead which eternal lie, stranger eons Death may die
drain you of your sanity, face The Thing That Should Not Be"
"The Thing that Shouldn't Be" _Metallica_

The silver headed man grinned triumphantly, a mixture of insanity and contempt transforming his handsome face into a mask of cruelty. His emerald eyes shone with power, madness glistening from the cold laboratory lights. He looked down at his captive, sneering harshly.
"My dear Aeris, why do you cower so in my presence?" he boasted, his voice so bitterly evil that it sent cold shivers running down her spine.
Aeris sat rigidly in her chair, green eyes darting around in fear. Her normally extravagant curls of hair were now stressed and hung limply around her ashen face. Her pink dress was tattered and torn, stained with dirt and blood from the previous battle.... the battle they had lost so miserably.
She managed to croak out a frightened gasp from her parched lips, causing Sephiroth to throw back his head in menacing laughter. "My Queen should not fear her master so much that she would not dare look at him." His eyes had returned to the constant icy glare, devoid of any humor, even as he stifled his remaining laughter.
Aeris continued to stare at him with a fear that resembled a stray animal begging not to be killed. She could not stop trembling, and cursed herself for being so unstable, but under the constant scrutiny of the former General she found she could not help it. She was terrified. Not only for herself, but for the whole planet.. her family... her friends. She had witnessed Barret, Cid and Yuffie's untimely ends in the Northern Crater, and had nearly given up at that point. She had been taken away straight after, and could only ponder on the fate of the rest of her team, and the planet's health. The guilt was unbearable. It was her job to stop all of this madness, and she had gladly told the planet that she would forfeit her life for everyone else..... but her plans had been destroyed. She had lived, and now the world had payed the cost.
"I wish to be paid attention to when I am speaking to you!" Sephiroth yelled with such menace that Aeris' train of thought had been broken instantly. Her head snapped up to look into his luminescent eyes boring into her very soul and she felt herself begin to whimper. The thought of what he intended to do with her made her cringe with disgust.
"I..I..." She faltered, her voice so full of terror she could not make out the words.
"Yes my love," He sneered, his voice dripping with a sickly-sweet sarcasm, "Go on.. I won't bite."
"I cannot stand to look at you!" She shouted with all the courage she could muster.
"Ah, is that right my Aeris?" he mocked her sympathetically, walking to her side, causing her to shrink against the chair even more if possible. He reached out a gloved hand and took her face in it, bringing on a new wave of convulsions in her weak frame. "Well what are you gonna do about it, my sweet Queen?"
Determined not to show anymore weakness than she had already displayed, Aeris returned the madman's glare, staring defiantly up into his cynical face. "Well?" he lured her on.
Surprising herself with her own braveness, Aeris gathered up all the salvia in her near-dry mouth and shot it directly into his face. Releasing her chin, he wiped his face unemotionally and stared at her with a newfound menace.
"Stupid bitch!" he muttered and slapped her roughly across the face. Tears trickled from her bloodshot eyes as her cheek stung as if a million tiny needles were pricking her skin.
He backed away from her quivering form, passing his eyes over her with scorn. "I trust you will not try something like that again."
He continued to exit, locking the door behind him, leaving a very frightened Aeris to weep alone in the cold uncaring dungeon.

A/N: Hey! And so another chapter is finished! I hope I made Sephiroth look at least a little evil! I don't really know how my writing turns out, but I hope I did a decent job of the emotions of fear and madness :)! Btw, I don't hate Seph, he is one of my fave characters, so I hope I can fix things down the road *whistles inconspicuously*. Anyway, no more giving out the plot! I wanna thank all my loyal reviewers: DarkAngel666, Chaos Wolf, Kya Lorne.. ect! Hopefully I will get some new ones! Till next time.. read and review :)!
