Here is the next chapter to make up for the last one. Enjoy!!!!

Weeks have passed and Vincent was soon obsessed with Nicholas. He hadn't thought about visiting Sephiroth and he was certain Sephiroth wasn't thinking of him. Why had all these memories come flooding back? Besides, he was convinced that Nicholas didn't have feelings for him anyway. That moment they spent together now seemed worthless, but Vincent never knew that Nicholas had dreams. This didn't matter now because according to Nicholas, Vincent didn't understand what it meant to have dreams and what it meant to want more in life. How wrong had he been, if only Vincent would have opened himself up then his feelings would have never been hurt.

Now realizing that Nicholas had been the one to open up, maybe this is why he thought Vincent didn't understand. But what could he do about this now?

For the first time in weeks he suddenly felt like going into his coffin. After all it wasn't like anyone would care if he had, not even Millie. Vincent got out of his comfortable bed, but he didn't bother to look out the window. There was suddenly a loud knock on the door, but Vincent took his time in answering the door.

"Listen to me, what happened..." Vincent thought it would be Sephiroth, but as it turned it was Macy. She was standing before him in a very cheerful mood.

"Listen to you? What for?" Macy said.

A wave of embarrassment came over him; he could feel his cheeks flush.

"I'm so sorry; I thought you'd be Sephiroth. He may be frustrated with me. Come in." Vincent said.

"Ya think? I think he is. Every time I ask about you he looks at me like I've done something horribly wrong." Macy said.

"Has he even said something about me?"

"He might've, I really can't say."

Vincent invited Macy to come sit with him in the cool and dark parlor as only a few rays of light peeked through the curtains. He wasn't certain that Macy has seen basically everything Sephiroth has done, and he didn't know if he could squeeze some information out of her. Or there was a possibility that Macy has seen everything Sephiroth has done.

"I want to talk to you about something. What all have you told Sephiroth?"

"The only thing I told him was one fantasy I had about this young man and that was it." Vincent said in a very serious tone.

Macy didn't respond she only looked as if to say 'you made a terrible mistake.' She dusted some lent off her black skirt. Vincent now realized it had been awhile since the mansion had been dusted.

"You told him your fantasy and now he's going to want something more from you, but there seems to be something that is hindering him from taking further actions."

"Further actions, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean."

Macy looked at Vincent as though he were some kind of idiot.

"What do you think he's doing? He's not trying to be your friend. He wants you for something that has nothing to do with friendship. You may not want to believe me because you may think of me as just as a clueless maid, but Vincent let me tell you, I am very vigilant. Sephiroth doesn't even try to hide things from me, but he thinks I'm an idiot. He thinks I don't know what he's trying to do." Macy said as she reached out and touched Vincent's hand.

Everything was beginning to make sense now, it was no wonder Macy had made that comment about Sephiroth turning to men. There was a part of Vincent that didn't want to believe Macy. But she sounded so convincing and everything that Sephiroth had done thus far was almost identical to what she was saying.

"You know there were others. I want you to tell me about them." Vincent demanded. But he really didn't know if he wanted her to tell him about the others.

"Well, alright, but there were so many people he seduced. At first it was a young woman named Aeris. And Sephiroth made her his prey. She was the perfect target for him. Aeris was innocent, pretty, and she seemed to be naïve at times. I remember one night when she came over to the estate. Sephiroth told me to get fetch him a black chemise for Aeris. I remember him telling her to let her hair down. And because I was curious as to what he was saying, I quickly went to go get the chemise and hurried back upstairs. But I decided to stand outside and listen to what he was saying."

"You're remarkably beautiful. Lie down on the bed." I remember hearing Sephiroth saying this. For a moment I was kind of jealous, but I knew I couldn't let that get in the way. So, I went into his room and presented the black chemise to him."

"Here you are sir." I said to him

Aeris was on the bed half naked I tried not to look but I couldn't help it."

"Then he said to me," 'We won't need that after all, Macy. Why don't you take off early since I won't need anything else from you?'

"I left the room as he closed the door, but I didn't leave from the floor. I decided to stay near his room sitting on the stairs. I didn't know why I was doing this, but I guess I was just curious. As I sat I didn't hear anything for a few minutes. So, I'm thinking 'maybe they went to sleep,' but then I knew this was kind of stupid."

Macy heaved a sigh and looked at Vincent as if to say 'get ready for this'. She stood up and circled around the coffee table.

"It was happening, Vincent. The two of them. Sephiroth had her under his spell. I heard them, they were loud. At least Aeris was. I shouldn't have been all that surprised because it was going to happen. Oh man, Vincent, you wouldn't believe what I was hearing. I knew the moments when he was thrusting in and out of her. I could hear his husky grunts. This went on for a couple of hours and then finally the screaming had quelled. A few minutes later Sephiroth came out in a black robe which was open. I didn't want him to see me so ran downstairs to my room."

Macy sat back down and it seemed she was relieved to get this off her chest. It was amazing how she had the courage to tell Vincent what was going on inside Sephiroth's estate. It was clear she knew pretty much everything that went on.

"You're telling me this because...." Vincent began

"I'm telling you this because you're next. Soon you'll be giving him pleasure." Macy said.

"I don't know why you're saying this."

"Oh, come on. I bet you let Sephiroth touch you already, didn't you?"

Vincent froze, he stared at Macy as if he challenging her in some way.

"You think I would allow that to happen?" He said coldly.

"I think you already have." She said matching his cold tone.

"Get out! Now! I don't want you here."

Macy didn't move until Vincent stood up. He walked behind her as they headed for the exit.

"You know, I was only trying to be your friend. I don't understand why you don't believe me; Sephiroth doesn't care about anyone's feelings. All he cares about is having power over you. Don't you see how's he's manipulating you?" Macy cried.

"Get out!" Vincent shouted as he almost pushed her out.

"Fine I'll leave. But don't come crying to me when your feelings are hurt. I don't understand how someone like you could be so stupid." Macy shouted as Vincent slammed the door.

This wasn't true, was it? He thought to himself. He reached out to Sephiroth; this was why he came out the coffin in the first place. Yes he loved it when Sephiroth touched him, but Vincent also thought that he wanted to get close to him. Despite his dormant desire for Nicholas he thought he would get over him because of Sephiroth.

Vincent was now foolish to think this. Yes, he needed to get over Nicholas and Sephiroth was going to do that, but not because he cared about Vincent's feelings, but only because he wanted to have Vincent under his spell. This whole thing was never about friendship it was about power. So, what should Vincent do now? Go over the estate and confront him? This was an option, but this wasn't the option he wanted. He wanted to something that was conniving, if he were to confront Sephiroth he would only deny everything.

Vincent had to be just as sneaky and underhanded as Sephiroth. He would have to manipulate, he would have to fight fire with fire. He would have to teach Sephiroth a lesson. And Vincent knew just how to do it. But it will involve Nicholas. Even though he was away from him, Vincent could still use him. Perhaps it was cruel, but it was also very exciting. He would have to learn to fight off Sephiroth's sexual advances, which was the only problem. And he would have to apologize to Macy. Besides, she was very valuable and he couldn't have her being angry with him. All Vincent has to do is go over to the estate and reconcile with Sephiroth, try to convince him that he was over Nicholas. But there was a huge possibility that this may not work. But for now, this will have to do until something more can be done.

Just trying to make it interesting. Don't worry there will be yaoi sooner or later. I don't know where this story is going. This is really starting to sound like a soap opera, isn't it? And I really don't know why I brought Aeris into this, but wouldn't she seem like the perfect prey?
