He Tells All

Chapter 7
He wanted to scream, but he could not. He wanted to stop the pain, but he knew he could not. There was no way to turn back and he knew it. Chaos was taking over his body. It was something he could no longer control. He could not suppress Chaos within him anymore. And this meant danger for those around him. He tried to plead with his eyes for Tifa to get away from him, to run away from like he was a monster. And he was, there was no doubt about that in Vincent's mind. But from Tifa's point of view, Vincent was no monster. However, Vincent did not have a chance to ponder this thought as his consciousness was ripped away from him to be taken over by Chaos. Vincent could only watch, barely conscious inside Chaos, the absolute havoc that it sends upon its wake. He could only pray, something that he did not do for a long time, that Chaos would not hurt Tifa. The chances of that he knew were slim. But even so, he believed it would work. It was all he could do. He would not sin again.
Tifa could not believe her own actions. This is suicide! Tifa thought to herself. It was too late anyhow. She swore as she backed quickly away from Chaos' growing form. She knew Vincent had lost his control from the very start of his transformation. She had never seen him stop his transformations halfway despite his attempts from previous battles. This would be no different. She struggled to get onto her feet without taking her eyes off of Chaos. Vincent was now no longer there, nothing existed to indicate it. It was all Chaos now, and it approached Tifa with a deadly glare. It roared once and lunged a jump closer to Tifa and she screamed. However, it did not attack, it merely kept flapping its wings in a slow rhythmic beat, clumsily in the small quarters. It was as if it was playing a game. It's beady red eyes, though the same colour as Vincent's, were no longer dead of life, but now full of hunger. And Tifa knew exactly what for... blood. Further and further Tifa stumbled backwards, and closer and closer Chaos came. She watched as it snarled, saliva pouring over its sharp teeth, making its way down its chin and dripping onto the floor. She had never been on the receiving end of Chaos' attacks, and even then Tifa was frightened. Now, the fear she felt was absolutely numbing. She could no longer feel her legs, and finally, when she tripped over whatever was on the floor, she knew that was it.
But she refused to give up. She continued to back up in a crab-like position now, and finally what she tripped over came into view. It was the man she took down earlier and he was now regaining consciousness. The man turned over and came face to face with Chaos. He screamed a blood curdling scream, and no sooner did this scream escape his lips did Chaos send him flying across the room with a quick swipe of its claw. Tifa whipped her head around to witness the man's body fly limply into the wall, cracking it and revealing the small abode's foundations. Chaos swooped over as best as it could in the cramped space and finished the man off. Tifa refused to watch how.
Minutes past, and yet nothing happened. There was only the rhythmic beating of Chaos' wings. However slower and slower. Tifa peeked out over her hands to watch as the beast stood crouching on the floor, breathing the loud breathes that it breathed. What was it waiting for? Tifa only wished she knew the answer. Then she saw it, there was a man in the room, holding the gun that the now dead man was holding earlier against Tifa. He was covered half by shadows. Only his expensive looking shoes that were covered in mud showed. She wanted to know where and how this man came to stand here, but there were more important issues to deal with at the moment. This man had saved her life. Three white tranquilizers stuck out contrastingly to Chaos' dark skin. And finally as if just on cue, it fell to the ground, sound asleep. Tifa looked to her saviour to see him with the gun still held firmly in his had aimed towards Chaos. Tifa's sigh of relief seemed to break the trance that the other man was in as he finally looked at her for the first time since she took notice of him. Now she could see his face. And what she saw made her heart skip a beat. It was either Tifa was seeing a ghost, or immortality ran in Vincent's family. The man before her was none other than Vincent's brother himself. Live and well.
