A/N: Well ya'll! This is Vincent's chapter as said in last chapter, I hope you enjoy this n' even get a little spooked...it's supposed to be creepy...Review!
'The death…the nightmares…'
Close your eyes
'I want to know. Do they really happen?'
It's alright, just relax
'Are they reality?'
Don't think about that; just sleep
'I do not wish to sleep, I want truth.'
Truth? That can wait, tonight you rest.
'I do not want to rest; the nightmares, they'll come.'
Shh, silence…forget everything-
A shadow passed over my face; I opened my eyes a little and glanced around the room. But hearing the wind blow outside I pulled my covers over my head and shrunk lower into them. I closed my eyes quickly, but opened them just as fast when I felt something tug on them at the foot of my bed. I jumped out of my bed, frightened, and switched on my light. I checked under my bed, and then checked in my closet. I knew it was rather silly; I was an adult and yet I was afraid of monsters.
And that brings us to Chaos. He is a monster I invented after my mother's tragic death; a building had collapsed on her; so I blamed Chaos since it was easier to blame it on fantasy instead of facing reality. But the more I thought of him the more I believed he was real; everything bad that happened, "Chaos did it." Every death, "Chaos killed them." I said it so much that to me: He was reality. I saw him; he spoke to me, told me of all the horrible things he was going to do, from then on Chaos controlled my life.
I was always teased in school. They always called me names, said I was crazy and that my mother's death had made me 'mental'. I was the outcast, the freak, the weirdo, the insane one. I did my projects and assignments on him. my whole focus revolved around him. I would hand in things I didn't remember writing. I would get in trouble for writing about death. About people being hung or murdered. I would see the school consular at least twelve times a week. My teachers even thought I was crazy. "You need help." They would tell me gently, "But Chaos told me too." I would reply. Chaos got me into a lot of trouble…
And there was nothing I could do to help it.
I took one last look around my room before heading out of my door and into the living room. As I walked down the hallway I kept glancing over my shoulder to make sure nothing was there.But even though I saw nothing my shoulders were tense and the fear was building up. I walked quicker and my eyes darted everywhere. When I finally stepped out of the dark hallway I instinctively switched on the light to my living room. No use in keeping myself terrified. I walked over to my counter grabbed my book and turned on the radio.
So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day
But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away
And it seems that time has brought things to an end; nothing's changed
'Cause you can't stop the fallin' rain.
I sat down on my leather couch and listened to the song end. As soon as the last of the music played an AD that caught my attention came on.
"Are created monsters keeping you up at night? Maybe all you need is a little company, someone to talk to you, or just an understanding shoulder?" The woman's voice was low and seductive. It entranced me; took my thoughts off everything else; including Chaos, "Why keep letting the past rule your future, stop looking for other ways and let us help you get the rest you need. Come to ShinRa Mansion, Friday night. We promise to help you."
I blinked my ruby eyes and stared blankly at the radio. I had already made up my mind. I was going.
