The Man She Always Feared
The light faded in and out, in and out. Katherine felt sick. She heard vices, they where talking so loudly, it sounded like yelling. Katherine opened her eyes, and was blinded by sunlight.
"Damn!" cursed Katherine"She's awake," said a voice she didn't recognized, "Cloud leave,"
"Why?"
"You slapped her, women never forget," said the second voice
Cloud snorted and left.
Katherine could only see only see the back of mans head, he had brown hair… she had a foggy feeling she'd that hair before. He turned and looked at her. Katherine screamed! It was Squall.
She jumped up as his came closer to her. He grabbed her hands that she swung violently.
"Easy I'm not going to hurt you,"
"To late for that," she said kicking at him. Katherine hadn't expected what happened next. She hand kicked him away long enough to get away, but she took three steps and her back was against his chest arms crisscrossed across her chest and face down on the bed again. Her lags pined by one of his. He was putting all of his weight in on to her she felt the tears running down her face.
"I'm going to let go now, " he said, "but your not going to run, scream, or make any sound what's so ever."
Katherine nodded yes. He let her go and backed away. She sat back on her lags, and looked at him. She saw that his was trying to catch his breath.
"For some one so scrawny," he said, " You are hard to take down,"
"What are you going to do too me?"
"I don't plan on doing anything," he sat I chair,"how's your face?"
"Sore,"
"Yeah, Cloud said he didn't mean to hityou that hard but," he slouched down eyes still on her, "but he says your where talking nonsense."
"But I wasn't, I swear," Katherine said seating properly. "I come for the world from which all worlds are created."
"Who told you that?" he asked sharply
"Thats how it is," she said looking away.
He stood and approached her, " My names Leon,"
"I'm…
"Katherine, I already know." He handed her a glass of water, "I must say your art work is interesting, it shows many different worlds,"
"But I just said that-
"Yeah, but it doesn't explain whyyou had a such a pretty compact on you?"
"I don't know where that came from," said Katherine looking at him, "But I have a question?"
"Yeah?" answered Leon, "What's that?"
"Why did you change your name?" Katherine asked resting her head on her hand, "I mean Squall fits,"
"How did you?
"What I've been saying from the being," replied Katherine, "What I don't get is why I was brought here, I don't have any special powers, "
"That exactly what where trying to find out now," answered Leon
"Ok,"
"Come on and we'll introduced you properly." Said Leon standing up.
Katherine shrugged and fallowed. She didn't like fallowing this guy… she kept looking at his ass, she looked at the wall as she passed them, they had horrible depiction of the dark creatcher that seem to be stare her down. She stopped and looked at one that was of a huge door, but she saw something. Something that looked like a person, a person in a door, that couldn't be. Katherine approached it and laid a hand on it. It was a woman on it…wait the door was coming from in her. She heard something in her head and was throw back in the wall across the hall. Leon looked at her mouth opened. Katherine stood up shaking. She looked at him tears running down her face. He took two steps twards her and she threw her self in to him, clenching his shirt. Leon pulled her off of him and looked down at her, her face was red with tears and very wet.
"What wasyou saw?" he asked calmly brushed her hair out of her face
"A boy with his eyes blindfolded," she croaked "he spoke to me,"
"What was it he said, " Leon replied taking a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiping her face.
"Stay away," she said blankly
"Its ok now alright," he said kindly, "Your safe," Leon leaned forward, in a temp to kiss her on the for head he patted her head on the head softly. Katherine's face lit up like it was on fire. She knew what he was trying to do.
"LEON"
The shrike was hear down the corridor, the paintings shook.
"Come on!" said Leon, he grabbed her fore arm and ran down the hall.
They rounded a corner and came to a room filled with books. And large windows with a stair chase along them. Leon let her go and started talking to a Arith and a girl she didn't know. Katherine started reading the spins of each book. The where all about the mind and hearts and light and darkness, and there actually affect on the human heart.
"Its Sephiroth," said the dark hair girl
Katherine dropped what she had in her hands, and all of her color faded from her face. She looked at her, "You're kidding right?"
"Nope Clouds out there fighting him right now," she replied
"I'll go help him," Leon said, "Yuffie, Arith you go and protect the queen, and Katherine stay here, away from the windows,"
Katherine nodded as he walked passed her, both the girls told her stay safe and left. She looked at the window, what's going on that's so bad that I have to stay way from the widows?
Katherine peaked around the corner of a bookcase, Ok stay away from the window.
She sat on the floor, and watches the second hand go around on her watch. Some thing dark passed over the room. Katherine stood up and looked around the corner she couldn't see what it was, she moved closer looking out every angle her eyes could do. She stopped at the bottom of the stair and looked out and down from the window. She couldn't see anything through the dark clouds wiping clouds. Once again the shadow passed by but she this time she saw what it was and it saw her.
Katherine ducked down praying that it didn't, she waited and the shadow fell right over her, She stood up and turned and looked at what was starring her down. It was, Sephiroth. His black wings flapped angrily. He smirked at her. Katherine on impulse ran. The window behind her shattered inward sending Katherine to the ground, as glass fell around her. She turned and looked at him, he step in to the room.
"Who is this?" he asked coolly
Katherine backed way cutting her hands on the glass. He unsheathed his sword and pointed at her throat.
"I asked a question," he said pushing it into her
"K…Katherine," she shuddered,
"See that wasn't so hard," he lowered it down to her chest, the blood ran down the wound to the tip of the sword. "Such pretty blood you have"
Katherine stood there looked at out passes him, in her head screaming for someone to come and help her. Her thoughts changed, she never get to tell Cloud that she was sorry or get to do all the things she wanted to… the sword poked her in the stomach. Sephiroth took his arm back and drove the sword right threw her. He pushed all the way threw her until he the handle of the sword was on her stomach. Blood trickled down the side of her mouth, Sephiroth wiped the it way.
"I couldn't dirty such a pretty face, " he said and pulled the sword back out.
Katherine fell to here knees and collapsed forward on the floor, the blood form the wound spread out around her slowly, Sephiroth smirked and left. Leaving her to bathe in her own blood.
