The wings of the angel and butterfly
Chapter six: The becoming of Slightner and Marlu
2 days later…
The sobs of newborn infants echoed throughout the forest. Fayerna held her babies for the first time, she was exhausted and her hair was damp from labor. Sephiroth sat beside her and stroked her hair gently, he was proud of her. Faye looked at him, "would you like to hold them?"
Sephiroth gently took them from her and looked at them. He was over whelmed with joy and pride that he created these two beings with the woman, he so adored.
"May I name them?" he asked.
"You name the girl and I'll name the boy."
Sephiroth studied his infant daughter and nodded, "Marlu…" he said.
Fayerna smiled, "I like the name. Let's name the boy Slightner."
"Alright."
They leaned back against the tree trunk and fell asleep. The next morning Fayerna woke up to find Sephiroth standing in the middle of a massacre; his sword was drenched in blood.
Fayerna looked down at the babies; they were sleeping soundly, she sighed with relief.
"They tried to take our children away and kill you but I stopped them…." He turned to her wit a satisfied smile, "no body hurts my family."
Fayerna stood up and handed him one of the infants after he sheathed Masamune.
"Come, let's leave," he said.
They took hands and teleported back to Midgar; they were going to pay Shin-ra a little visit.
SOLDIERS were stationed in the streets as Sephiroth and Fayerna appeared behind a building across the street from "Seventh Heaven." Faye looked around and found an old whicker basket lying beside a trash can, she looked at the two snoozing infants and sighed. Sephiroth looked at her and knew what she was thinking. She was going to leave their children on the doorstep of Seventh Heaven for Tifa to raise in her make-shift orphanage.
"I won't be mad at you," He said out of the blue.
Faye knew what he was talking about and nodded; "I know my love. It'd be best for the children also; I want them to live carefree-happy lives where they don't have to suffer."
Sephiroth cupped her chin in his hand, "then do the right thing."
Faye laid the children in the whicker basket, and handed it to Sephiroth, "I'll distract them while you take the children to Tifa."
"No my love, I'll distract them while you take the children to your friend," Sephiroth replied, handing the basket back to her.
Faye nodded, "very well."
Sephiroth unsheathed Masamune and leaped onto the roof. Faye got ready to sprint to the other side, here Seventh heaven was when a SOLDIER walked passed her, he looked in her direction but before he could acknowledge her, Sephiroth leaped on him and slit his throat. Several other SOLDIERS noticed him, "its Sephiroth!"
Sephiroth attacked them as Faye sprinted to the other side of the street and entered seventh heaven. Nobody was there; she noticed a piece of paper and a pen on the bar counter. She went up to it and wrote a letter to Tifa, telling her their names and to always take care of them. She took one last look at her infants before walking outside to a massacre.
Sephiroth turned to her, "take my hand…" he said holding his hand out to her.
Fayerna took it, he pulled her to him and they teleported to the entrance of the Shin-ra HQ.
The place looked deserted but looks could be deceiving. They unsheathed their swords and entered the building. Sephiroth took her hand as they walked through the halls, just then Hojo walked out. Sephiroth and Faye turned to him.
"Hello my boy," Hojo told Sephiroth.
Sephiroth ignored him and tightened his grip on his wife's hand.
"I knew that you were never truly dead, you were a great experiment and I knew that my creations wouldn't die so easily," he smiled, "but I found a way to exterminate them…"
Sephiroth gave him a hard look, what was this guy talking about?
"My dear son, allow me to take away what is precious to you…" Hojo pulled out a dart gun, "allow me to make you what you truly are…a killer, a being bent on destroying all of life."
And before either of them could act, Hojo pulled the trigger on the gun hitting Fayerna in the chest. She fell back, breathing heavily, soon blood started to pour out of her nose and mouth.
Hojo smiled, "oh glory my new compound works. She'll bleed from the inside out…but no matter, once she's dead, you won't have anything to keep you from your destiny."
Sephiroth's eyes widened in shock and anger, he turned to Hojo and with one swing of Masamune Hojo's head was rolling on the ground. His headless body fell to the ground with a thud. He turned to his lover and cradled her in his arms. Fayerna was bleeding to death from the inside out.
"Please don't leave me…" Sephiroth cried.
Fayerna smiled and kissed him, "I won't leave you," she was carried piece by piece into the wind.
The end…
Authors note: Sorry if this story went fast, I'll keep trying to write a long story plot but I'm usually on a tight schedule. There is a sequel to this story, called "Angels Instead."
And I've been thinking about writing a story on Fayerna again but this time giving her, her cold disposition, that story is called "Angel of darkness." Oh and I don't know what Mary-sueism is but I got a couple complaints about that and in my next stories I'll try to avoid that….my apologies….
