ACT 7: Something Wicked This Way Comes...

Hi, I'm really sorry for not updating in a while, it's just that I've been having writer's block and then we went to Hawaii and then I had a cold and ...ARGH! Well, I'll try to make it up to you with this chapter .

It was a bright and sunny day over at the studio, birds were chirping the water was running, and the toilets weren't backed up. Yes, a fine day it was, until...

(Entrance door blows up and the Director steps through the burning ash and smoke)

"Uh...uh...hello Director!" Sora yelped as he backed away slowly.

"Good morning Sora! How are you? Lovely day isn't it?"

"..." Sora's face was utterly empty of all emotion at her response.

"Are-are you feeling alright Ms. Director?" Riku said cautiously and a little worried.

The Director turned her head toward him and he flinched a bit.

"I'm just fine Riku, thank you for worrying about me. It makes me feel so happy!" the Director smiled and it was surprisingly gentle and calm. As a matter of fact, Riku blushed.

Something is not right...something wicked this way comes... Riku thought as he turned even more pale than he was naturally.

The Director walked past the cast greeting all of them individually, she even greeted Sephiroth with "Thank you for being so cooperative today!" and she walked into her room.

"Okay...I've seen some strange things in my time, I've even chopped of my own mother's head...but that was in the range of bed wetting to near death experience..." Sephiroth whispered tentatively to the others.

"I...agree..." Aeris said slowly.

They all turned to Riku and Sora who looked just as stunned as the rest of them.

"D-don't look at us! She just barged in and was PLEASANT!"

(Director walks out of her room and heads to the wreckage that was once the front door)

"Sephiroth, may I please borrow your Stang? (Mustang)" She asked eerily polite.

Sephiroth nodded slowly, his mouth agape and handed her the keys. The Director gently took the keys from his shaking hands.

"Thank you, dear. I'll be back in a few minutes."

(Director walks outside and fires up the engine of the Mustang and drives off)

Sephiroth turned white. Cloud and Ansem walked into the room and saw everyone's stunned faces.

"What happened?"

"Did the Director kill someone again?" Ansem said nonchalantly.

Sephiroth fell over unconscious by Cloud's feet.

"Ooh...Tell me the story..." Cloud said, pleased.

That's it for today folks! Yes it is truly disturbing isn't it? The mystery will be explained in Act 8!
