Revenge, Chapter 2
Felix looked at Cloud, then sighed. "Why didn't anybody tell me anything?"
"Felix, I just-"
"NO! YOU'VE KEPT SO MANY SECRETS FROM ME, HAVEN'T YOU?! TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
"...Felix... I'm...sorry. But I couldn't tell you before. You were too young."
"Then forget it...just leave me alone!"
Cloud dissapeared from Felix's room, and Felix lied down on his bed again, and fell asleep.
The next morning after Felix woke up, he reflected on the way he talked to his father... he hadn't seen Cloud in so many years, that he felt sorry about snapping at him like that.
"Maybe it's time I stop thinking about everything that happened..."
He put his socks on, and then started looking for his boots, feeling tired from the other night for some reason. "I swear...these boots just got up and walked off...there!" He fount his black boots, and put them on. There was a knock at the door, and before Felix could reply, a letter was slipped through the crack below the door. Felix walked over to the letter, and picked it up, feeling something odd about it. "Feels...warm..." He opened it, and and read the message: "Dear Felix, we have been informed that you have had an encounter with this notorious mass-murderer. Please respond within 24 hours... P.S. If you do not, we will send you another note." Felix put the note on his desk, and went outside for some fresh air.
"Hey! Felix!" Somebody called to him, and he looked at the person.
"Rei?"
"I heard what happened last night. Are you alright? Have you been hurt?"
He looked at her, like something weird was going on. "No...I just have this. He gave it to me, and told me to protect it, or something..." He held up the blood red stone, and it was glowing this time. They both looked at it curiously, and then it stopped glowing.
Rei looked at Felix, who pocketed the stone, and said "Well that was odd...do you think he'll hurt you somehow with that?"
"Rei, I seriously doubt somebody'd hurt me with this just sitting there, unless they threw it."
"Yeah, well... it still makes no sense. So... see ya later! I gotta go check something out." She walked away, and Felix was about to answer, but Mia mysteriously dissapeared.
"Where'd she go? Rei doesn't usually just...dissapear. Well, whatever." He went about his business, and returned home to check his mail, and noticed a letter that had fresh blood on it. "Wha? This..." He opened the letter, and read a blood-written message that said: "Tonight another will die if you fail to meet me at room 311 in 5 hours, at 3 AM". This didn't make sense to Felix, because the building only had 310 rooms. "Room 311? But... that's impossible." He checked the message, and it was still 311, there was no doubt about it. "Is it...him?" He went through his other letters, one was an advertisement for a credit card, and the others were junk mail, and the last was another message from the government. He opened the letter, and read it: "Dear Felix, we have not yet been given a response, and if you continue to do as going on, we will have to take some form of action." Felix crumpled up the note, and threw it into the garbage can. "Why's it so important to them? And...how did they know what happened?"
After 4 hours passed, Felix left his room to find room 311. "307...309, 310... no 311." He sighed, and sat down, waiting for 1 hour, as nothing happened until the clock struck 3 times. The wall suddenly dissapeared, and there was a very dark corridor, with a few lights at the end of the hall. Felix stood up suddenly, and suddenly felt an overwhelming fear through his body as he looked down the hallway. "This... how... but... impossible..." He slowly walked down the hallway, being as if he ran it would probably aggrivate some spirit and harm him somehow. "Room...311" A chill went down his spine as he slowly opened the unlocked door.
"Close the door, you're letting the light come in." A voice out of nowhere commanded Felix. And he closed the door.
"Who...are you? Are you... Sephiroth?" The man looked at Felix, and smiled.
"Your father told you the entire story, didn't he?"
"Y-yeah... everything."
Sephiroth looked back at the circle of blood on the wall. "Did you bring the stone?"
Felix took the stone out from his pocket, and held it out, since he couldn't see in the darkness. The man took the stone from Felix, and looked it over. "Good." He stood up, and walked over to the wall, and placed the stone on a table. "Now... it begins."
