Sleeping With Her Enemy
Is This The End?
Quick Note I am so sorry to keep you all waiting for so long but you cannot imagine the writers block I've been suffering with this story. But I finally got some inspiration so here is the probably long awaited update after a while of me slacking and I hope that none of you are disappointed.
Everything's so blurry
and everyone's so fake
and everybody's empty
and everything is so messed up
pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
Lucrecia frowned slightly at Tifa's pale pallor she really was worried about the younger girl.
Images of Tifa collapsing filled her mind and she shuddered, just because she was a scientist and a doctor did not mean that she was prepared for ill- fated things for she was not.
"I just need to go and get something from the medical facility stock room" she told Tifa who was retying the laces of her boots; she nodded and carried on with her task.
Exiting the room she made her way to the elevator stepping inside and punching the floor she needed to go to, she sighed as it started it's descend only to catch her breath when it jerked to a stop and was still, in between floor 65 and 64.
Someone had cut the power.
The medical lab was plunged into dimness and the emergency lights started to generate but they were dull giving the room an even gloomier quality it made her feel as though someone had walked across her grave.
Tifa frowned.
It was most definitely strange she thought to herself and took a tentative step towards the closed door, before she could reach it; it swung open revealing the large figure of a man standing in the doorway.
Mako eyes glowed in the dark at her and for a moment she felt elation thinking that at last Cloud had come to rescue her, he had kept his promise just like she had thought he would.
"Cloud?" she asked hesitantly
"You should learn by now Tifa that not everyone with eyes that glow is your friend" the now familiar voice scorned as the dark figure stepped into the half-light.
Tifa gasped and backed away, her knees pumped into the bed as she eyed him wearily, for some reason she didn't feel as though she had any more fight left in her, it was a feeling she did not care for.
"Zack" she whispered hating the fear that had been injected into her voice by her rapidly beating heart.
He laughed a vicious sound that had her shivering despite the warmth of the room; he took another step towards her then another herding her to where it was he wanted her to be.
Backed against the bed Tifa had nowhere left to go, realisation hit her like a lightning bolt, this was what he'd planned that she would back away too frightened to fight him.
And she'd fallen for it; she looked helplessly at the man taking his time to get to her a knowing smile on his lips, she could see the triumphant light gleam within his eyes and felt her heartbeat clench painfully.
He had won for he had Tifa trapped, like the little rabbit he'd always perceived her to be.
Sephiroth glanced at the building with ice in his eyes; the urge to spit on the pavement just to show some slight resistance to the Shinra overwhelmed him, he even felt his body make a move to actually do it.
But he quickly recovered remembering why he was here, turning he looked at Cloud and Kyle.
They would take the more direct route through the main entrance leaving Vincent and Yuffie to secure the front and Red, Barret and Aeris to sneak in through the side entrance.
His eyes narrowed on the Soldiers he could see marching in the lobby, it would give him great satisfaction to dig his sward into their treacherous flesh, his whole being cried out for vengeance and he would not be denied.
He licked his lips in anticipation, shivering as excitement tingled down his spine.
"Don't hold back, and take no prisoners" his voice sounded so cold and resolute but he didn't care, when it came to the scum within this monstrosity of a building he found he didn't care.
He'd waited a long time for his retribution against the Shinra and he wanted to see them pay, and pay they would.
In blood
Giving the signal the parties split, each heading in their designated areas, he looked at Cloud and Kyle who nodded their eyes narrowing hands gripping their weapons tight then they charged towards the lobby.
They were inside for a full minute, slashing whoever crossed their path, then the alarms hit.
Soldiers filed down the stairs and out of the elevators, each one receiving a nasty blow from the trio who awaited them, he had said take no prisoners and they were fully acting by those words.
Sephiroth fought like a man possessed, he didn't care if he seemed crazed he'd fight anyone anything if it meant he could see Tifa's smiling face again, could touch her once again.
He'd lost her once he would not do so again.
The sound of the alarms startled Zack and gave Tifa some time to run past him, she headed for the door but her weary legs were not fast enough, she knew her false death had depleted her of her strength.
So Zack caught up with her easily, yanking her back into the room by her hair causing a startled cry of pain to escape past her lips.
"I don't remember telling you that you could leave," he rasped against her neck before running his tongue over it, she winced at the contact hating the clamminess it left in its wake.
He bit into the soft flesh till it bled making her cry out once again in pain.
"Please" she begged breathlessly just wanting to get away, needed to rid herself of the infestation of his touch, she didn't care that she was begging him now, she knew that someone had come for her, she could feel it in her bones…she just needed more time.
"Let me go Zack" she said trying her best to make her voice sound brave when she was so obviously in the clutches of fear, judging from the tightening of his grip it was obvious that he did not buy the act.
Zack laughed again that irritating sound that made her skin crawl and she would have loved to slap his face.
He lowered his hand to her thigh and trailed it upwards and she desperately tried to fight him, he merely laughed again and flung her to the bed, it was as though her struggles only served to intoxicate him more.
She landed heavily and was slightly winded her head had connected with the wall and she saw starts sparkle as her vision blurred, her head began to feel as though it was detached from her body and she wanted to just collapse in a heap.
I can't pass out she said to herself I can't let him have me.
But before she could even attempt to get up he was there cuffing her wrists to the head of the bed, his grip was fierce and painful and she felt fear the likes of which she had never felt before.
He sneered down at her, and her eyes filled with panic.
"I remember when I first met you" Zack said lightly as he began to undo her shirt, he took his time was the buttons as though savouring every second of her body unfolding slowly beneath him.
"You were so young yet so delicious; I badly wanted to touch you. I remember when you kissed me and I thought that you liked me, but no you said you didn't feel anything"
"I still don't" she said trying to show some bravado she kicked her legs connected with his lower back making him wince, she continued to thrash until he had restrained her legs tying them so that they were apart.
He smiled down at her as though they were sharing some joke that he thought was funny he even began to laugh, quite hysterically as though he had never heard anything so humorous in his life.
Tifa failed to see the humour.
He leaned in closer; she could smell the putrid stench of alcohol on his breath and wrinkled her nose in disgust.
The alarms grew to a fevered pitch and he sighed.
"Looks like I'll have to take you someplace more private, you must have known this was bound to happen, grown men are weak of the flesh Tifa or did your mother never tell you that" he said taking a small syringe needle out of his pocket.
There was pink substance in it, which he injected into her arm; she cried out before unconsciousness over took her.
He smiled in his sinister way, turning his attention to her legs and wrists he cuffed them again before he gathered her up into his arms.
He made his way to the stairs intent on going to the helipad on the roof when a cold voice stopped him from behind, he was surprised to hear it and was annoyed at the momentary feeling of panic the voice caused, but he composed himself well.
"Long time no see Zack" it spat and Zack grinned widely.
"Why Sephiroth I'm so flattered you remembered my name" he taunted, and Sephiroth scowled at him.
"I've come for Tifa," he said motioning towards the pale girl in Zack's arms and Zack laughed at him, if he thought he was in a position to take his prize from him then he was very much mistaken.
"You think that I will give her up to you, then you are a bigger fool than I imagined" he shifted a hand and withdrew his sward, he saw apprehension enter those aqua eyes and smiled.
"If I cannot have her then I'll damn well make sure nobody else can" he brought the blade to Tifa's neck and continued to look Sephiroth in the eye.
"Make a choice Sephiroth," he said as Tifa began to rouse, her eyes blinking rapidly.
She turned her head her gaze resting on Sephiroth, tears formed in her eyes and she drowned in his gaze, for so many years she had imagined him, wanted him so badly that it hurt, and there he was stood before her more handsome that he had ever been before.
"Sephiroth" she choked out and he felt his heart clench at the sound, but before he could utter a word she was squirming against Zack the only thought on her mind of touching Sephiroth again.
Zack's sward sliced into her skin and she cried out in shock, Zack looked down in horror before dropping her body to the ground.
Sephiroth rushed to Tifa's side and Zack bolted out to the stairwell, his eyes clouded with pain as blood seeped from the wound at Tifa's neck, he looked for something, anything that could add pressure to the wound.
It was not large enough to kill her quickly; he looked up as Kyle came rushing over Cloud hot on his heels, they both fell to the ground next to them
"We need Lucrecia" Kyle said checking Tifa's pulse, obviously he hadn't liked what he had felt there for his voice took on a hint of desperation as he uttered his next words.
"There's not much time. Cloud come with me help me find her" Cloud nodded and the pair hurried off in search of the doctor.
Sephiroth gazed a Tifa he couldn't bear the thought of her dying, he'd already felt it once and he couldn't bear the thought of watching it now, he didn't think he could take it.
It was then he knew what he had to do; it just came so easily to his mind.
He'd give up his life in exchange for hers; she had so much to give... so much to live for, he knew how to do it, knew that his life was nothing in comparison to hers
His mind made up he scooped the fallen woman into his arms snuggling her cooling body next to his warm frame.
He headed towards the medical room his mind made up his resolve set, he only hoped that in time she would forgive him, that she would find someone to lessen the pain he was sure she would feel at first.
There was just no other choice.
Everyone is changing
there's no one left that's real
to make up your own ending
and let me know just how you feel
cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
my whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
