Never Alone Again Alexes Ashton Chapter 4:

"Are you going to attack me? That'd be a shame... Then you wouldn't know how to get out of your vampiric form, Cloud..." he said softly, standing and sheathing his Masamune. "I am the one that made you, so I know how to do such a thing..." he said softly, smirking. The creature looked at the General in confusion. "What do you mean?" came a deep voice from the creature.

"Don't you remember anything? That day when we first met? You were training, Cloud. And I was watching. That night I followed you. Remember when that creature attacked you, and the next morning, you woke to be in the infirmary? I was that creature... Try to remember now, Cloud. What did that creature look like? Didn't it look a lot like you do now, except with long, silver hair?" Sephiroth asked softly, still smirking. "Like I said before, I know much more than you think and that you shouldn't make any assumptions..." he said, now chuckling.

Cloud looked at himself and then remembered what had happened. 'That's right...' he thought to himself. 'But...' "Why?" he asked, in his deep voice. "Why'd you do it? Why'd you destroy my life!" he screamed, falling to the floor, blood tears falling from his red eyes.

"Because I like you, Cloud. You're definitely a cutie..." he mused. "I don't believe you!" Cloud shouted. "I don't believe that was you!" he said, pounding a fist against the floor. "Well, maybe I should make you believe, yes?" he asked softly.

He then closed his eyes, taking him time in the matter as the blonde watched. Two great wings split his back open. They were much bigger in size than the blondes own. He stared in awe as the General's forehead split slightly and two great horns emerged slowly, almost as if they were being controlled on how fast they came out. His wings flexed and threw tiny beads of blood onto the walls. Much less blood than what had came from Cloud's own wings. Then, his eyes opened, and we're still the green, cat slit eyes that they had always been, the glow though, much greater.

Cloud sat on the floor, feeling very confused and very scared. The creature was as tall as the ceiling, much taller than his own seven feet. Now, the General had three feet of height on the blonde, instead of one foot. He stared at the great creature before him, not knowing whether to believe his eyes or not.

"Now do you believe me?" the great voice from the vampiric Sephiroth came to the blonde's ears. He slowly nodded his head, feeling much like a child, and not feeling superior as he did before he knew about the General's secret. He sat there, not knowing what to do, what to say, or anything else. He was scared. Tears were still flowing from his eyes, staining the carpet below with their blood.

"You are now officially my pet." Sephiroth said softly, though still in his deep voice. "You will stay with me in my personal quarters. Any objections might get you killed. Understood?" the General commanded. "You're name will be cleared today. I suggest you get your things and bring them to my quarters. I can easily track you, if you try to leave. So, I wouldn't even try it." he said, turning to leave. As he turned around, he transformed back to his human self, his clothes with tears in them. He took his jacket off and threw it to the floor, shaking his head.

"Ah yes..." he said softly, turning to face the boy, who was still on the floor. "To transform out of your vampiric form, all you need to do is concentrate hard enough on your human form. The same goes for transforming into your vampiric form. Soon, you'll be able to control how fast your wings come from your back and how fast your horns come from your head. Trust me. All you need is time... Which, you have all eternity to learn that..." he said softly, chuckling.

The boy stood, and towered over Sephiroth. "And another thing, sunrise is in an hour, and I suggest you get to my quarters before then, unless you want to be ashes, and nothing more." he warned, turning to leave again. He opened the door. "Don't be foolish, Cloud, and you could live forever. You have a lifetime of opportunities opened for you... don't blow it by stupidity." he said softly, exiting the room, and heading to his quarters.

A/N: Yup... that was the main twist... Though, there will be another... let's just say... this story is going to end up like this... Father Time just robbed the cradle... Oh yes... No, it's not shota... Cloud is of legal age... well... if you think 14 is legal age... Umm... yeah... Right. Anyways. I'd love your comments, and I'd love your flames as well, cause then I could laugh at you wildly. . So... yup. Look forward for Chapter 5, coming soon to a computer near you... :P

P.S. Sorry for the shortness of this chapter... I just wanted to get that twist in the story, out of the way. I was going nuts as to where to put it. nod nod Oh... and the yaoi will be coming up shortly. I mean, Cloud is Sephy's pet now, so he has to do whatever Sephy says, right? Right... insert evil laugh here Besides, right now, I'm working on other fics as well. So, this one isn't coming alone as fast as it should. Sorry. .;;;
