Chapter 1
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Aerith whose beauty had no parallel. Smooth fair skin, long chocolate brown hair, and magnificent green eyes. This untold beauty sat at her window staring out into the open meadow ahead, the cool early morning breeze caressing her skin, but her peace and quiet was broken by an oh so familiar yell.
"Aerith!" Aerith's daydream was interrupted by her stepsister, Tifa.
"What the hell are you doing! Get your ass in the goddamn kitchen and make me breakfast!" Yelled the groggy teen from the kitchen.
Aerith was hastily making her way to the kitchen when she ran into her other sister, Yuffie, and almost knocked her over.
"Uh, sorry!" Aerith stuttered quickly making her way to the kitchen, but not missing the glare her stepmother shot her, and quickly began making breakfast.
"God, you're so useless. I don't know why your still alive." muttered Tifa taking a seat at the kitchen table.
"Now, now, Tifa. It is partially our fault, we didn't train her properly. But then again, some animals are stupider than others." said Edea as she took a seat in the chair next to Tifa.
"Your probably right, mother" smirked Tifa.
"Maybe we should rid her of her possessions, that should teach her a lesson." grinned Edea evilly, but Aerith decided to ignore it since her step-mother always loved teasing her, although that remark was awfully suspicious. By the time Yuffie had come into the kitchen and sat down next to her mother, Aerith already had set the breakfast down on the table.
"You shouldn't tease her, it's enough that she –"Yuffie was cut off by her sister who took that comment as an offense.
"Are you saying you want to be punished too, Yuffie?" growled Tifa who looked over at Edea for support. Edea glared at Yuffie before finally speaking-
"Yuffie, you should be happy-no, grateful that you are considered higher than this mutt, but if you take the time to object then u must have time to help her with the chores around the house" Edea gave one last glare at Yuffie before turning to her breakfast and Yuffie did the same. Aerith was not allowed to eat at the table since Edea believed that animals weren't allowed to eat at the table. So she grabbed a plate of breakfast and went to her room, eating in silence. She was thinking that she didn't have much to do today since she did clean the whole house the day before so she decided she would get out of the house and visit a friend.
That after-noon, Aerith was in town finally able to get away from the horrors of her home. She passed by a street that she knew very well and walked into a house she knew even more. Canvases, paintbrushes, paint, and all these other artistic devises (including other contraptions) lay all over the floor as though someone used these things, tossed them all over the floor and then didn't bother to pick them up. Then again that was Sephiroth for ya! He was a very unusual character for a simple shopkeeper. He owned a bakery and it was the best in town. He always boasted about the shop as though it were his greatest accomplishment, but Aerith knew better. He made a "flying machine" once. He showed it to her one day because "he was bored" but then that would mean that everything he showed the young beauty was from boredom. Sephiroth is...how do I explain this? Well, he has a very interesting point of view on things. He's smart and loves to create new things that others would have believed to be impossible. People think he's a little off, but then again if they knew what he knew...they wouldn't exactly be normal or sane in that matter. She looked around for her friend making sure not to step on anything that would make a mess.
"Sephiroth?" She called from what was supposed to be the living room. What came next ...would shock her.
