A/N: Yo. How long has it been? 5 months without an update? My golly! I should slap myself. Oh hum, the real reason with this silly A/N is that I wrote something rated T and I should warn you before hand and such. It's nothing that great a big a deal really. Oh well. Read on!
Chapter III
Beauty. Youthfulness. Innocence. Mine. The man known as Sephiroth paced the carpeted room he was in. The room belonged to an abandoned house. Vines covered the iron gates which surrounded the house and overgrown yard. The old house was hidden behind some dark trees. The paint peeling, giving the picture more of an eerie look. It's high empty windows giving the house "eyes". The house was an eye sore compared to the smaller, more modern houses among it. Perhaps the city will renovate it and rent it out or put it on the market for sale. But that was none of his business and was the last of his worries. He had encountered the boy no less than a few hours ago, and he already wants to see him again. He had positioned himself in shallow waters with the teen. He knows he had frightened him. But he was eager to see his eyes once more. Perhaps if he wants to gain his trust he must present himself more friendly… "Fuu." Like that would happen.
The walls of the room showed years of neglect. Dust had settled on the empty mentle, and other objects in the room. Old ornamented chairs were placed in front of the fire pit. A chandelier hung in the middle of the room. Shelves covered one wall, the books also collected dust particles. Paintings hung on the walls, covering the scorches of decay on the walls. Surprising that this place still had furniture.. the air heavy in the house, Sephiroth pushed open the windows, letting the cool night breeze in, mixing with the stuffy air.
He remained in that spot for a few minutes. Then some noise brought his attention to the ground below. One, no two teenagers had slipped through the gates and entered the yard. Sephiroth had nearly mistaken them for one person but he saw that one of them was leaning into the other, seeking to be supported up by his friend. Both appeared to be males and both consumed a vast amount of alcohol. Their making a ruckus distracted Sephiroth from his thoughts. So what better way to obtain quiet by silencing the disturbance?
The moon was full, emitting a sort of glow around the yard, which lightened the area. It was a little after midnight. The air was filled with freshly fallen water, but there was something else in the air which smelt like silver or a coppery smell. The leaves on trees glazed with droplets and the grass wet, but was covered with a thin layer of deep crimson red... Signs that rain had occurred no longer then an hour ago but there was something odd and sinister about the scene..
Sephiroth stood above a body, which were grotesquely mutilated and ripped open and apart. Blood dripped from Sephiroth's gloved hands. He carried something that resembled a torso. Pity how humans are so weak a creature unarmed when they cover so much of the planet..
There wasn't much of a struggle for Sephiroth, the two boys were intoxicated and a little bloodshed didn't hurt anyone.. except for the families of these poor unfortunate boys. Dropping the corpse into the pool of blood, Sephiroth turned his heel and returned to the empty house. The thick vines on the gates covered the scene; it won't be awhile until someone discovers the mess.
The carpet was a dark red and hid the bloody footsteps that Sephiroth made when in the house. Bringing a blood-covered finger to his lips, he slowly ran his tongue over the glove to taste the cool blood.
Now that he got the out of the way, his thoughts were now back to Cloud.. and his plan to claim him.
A/N part 2: Holy poo! I had no idea that this story would get 42 reviews! I'm so touched, I really am. I would like to thank everyone individually.. but that would take up a few pages I believe. I know that this chapter is relatively short then the last two.. I just wanted something with Sephiroth alone. I could say with full confidence that the next chapter would be much longer :D Cheers to all!
