The Replica
Chapter 8
Man Uncloaked (Thank you for the idea, PC and Hikari Mai for telling me that Squall and Gwen should NOT fall for each other, which they wont. But if you feel that you want them to...please contact me, though I will advise you that I do NOT enjoy writing romances and will probably lose my luch if I am forced to. Thank you)
"Y-you...I thought you were dead! I saw you fall off the cliff and into the water. Father, why do you want to kidnap me?" Gwen whispered, a silent tear rolled down her cheek. She remembered seeing him fall into the dark waters, reaching a hand out to her, but she was to small to reach him, or even support him for that matter.
"I want you to join me. Join the dark side, you'll get what you want, whenever you want. Just join me."
"What...wait no! Why should I?" Gwen retorted.
"Do you dare talk back to your father?" he growled.
"Well, if its forcing me to join the dark side, well yes, I will." Gwen huffed.
Her father rolled his eyes. "At least I had good reason to prefer your sister. She would comply right away. No wonder I decided to disown you."
"Wait...What?" Gwen was so confused. Since when did he disown her?
"Didn't Gaya tell you? I disown you, you are not mine."
"Then why are you bothering me?"
"To see if you still love me. And even if you did comply, you'd still only be a slave to the Sorceress."
"Well, now I have good reason not join you anyway." Gwen grinned. Her father always let out private information by mistake. Why her mother ever married him she'll never know. Too bad he killed her...that night, out in the dank, dark streets.
FLASHBACK
"No...Harry, stop it!"
"Shut up, you foolish woman." Harry dragged the woman through the streets. In a dark alley, he beat her until she died, and the blood trickled from her head and ears. Gwen was only three and was hiding in a corner. She had followed her mother, after seeing she left with her father and left the front door wide open. She cowered and tears streamed down her cheeks as she saw her mother's lifeless body on the ground and the silhouette of her father, breathing heavily, standing over her.
Since then, he abandoned her, until a day in the forest when he just so happened to cross him. Gwen was about 10 years old, already living with Sophie.
"F-Father? Is that you?" Gwen asked stumped.
"It is my little Gweny, come here my dear." He opened his arms to greet her.
"No, you murdered mom." Gwen whimpered, she was a bit of a weakling back then.
"I never meant to, I truly loved your mother." He cooed.
"No, I don't believe you, no murderer would say that!" Gwen yelled, eyes blinded by tears.
"Fine you don't believe me? Then I take my life." With that he had leapt off the ciff nearby, supposedly killing himself.
Gwen didn't know that her sister Gaya was actually waiting for him at the bottom, ready to protect his fall. Together they formed a team, then Henry decided to disown Gwen. Gwen was an orphan, living with people she didn't even like.
END FLASHBACK
Gwen was rooted on the spot, the memories flashing by her in a wiz of colour, blurs and sounds. She shook her head and a new anger filled her soul.
"So you decide to leave me...so be it. You are no longer my father, so it wouldn't matter if we fought to the death." Gwen growled, trying to control her anger. Squall stirred in the corner. He squinted and saw Gwen pull out her Gunblade and heard her final words. They were going to fight to the...WHAT? THE DEATH?! Oh no, that didn't sound right, he must've been hearing things.
But then Sophie screamed.
"GWEN NO!" she screamed.
Whoa, she was going to do it. That wasn't good. He looked at the man, who was uncloaked by now. He recognized his face from...somewhere. With the feeling he felt in his heart, he knew he was immensely powerful.
"G-Gwen." He moaned as he lifted himself from the ground. "Don't be stupid. He can kill you in less than a minute." Gwen didn't reply.
"Let me do it." Squall got his gunblade ready.
"No." Gwen said.
"No?" Squall repeated, anger rising slightly.
"Exactly."
"Fine, then I'll at least fight with you."
"Suit yourself, if you really want to end up being minced meat." Gwen growled.
"So be it."
"Don't forget about us!" Selphie, Irvine and Zell came from the lift.
"WHAT? YOU BEAT MY G-ARMY?" Henry yelled.
"You becha!" Selphie winked.
"BANG! LET'S DO THIS!" Irvine cried.
"BRING IT ON!" Zell yelled.
And then...it happened....
