Meetings...
Vicky's POV
I made my way over to the table Vincent was sat at. He was looking into his lap as i sat down beside him. "hey, everything ok?" he lifted his head slowly and looked at me. His crimson eyes met my purple ones briefly before he looked away again "I'm fine." his response was short, sharp and cold. I began to frown, he didn't look fine "you don't look fine Vincent. Wanna talk about it?" he sighs and continues to look into his lap "I'm fine, honestly. Don't let me ruin your night" his voice was so soft, yet deep. It was almost soothing yet stern. I sigh and shake my head slightly "we all have a past Vincent, wether we choose to let it ruin our future or not is the main way it affects us. I have a past, but i wont let it ruin my future. You should come and sit with me and Yuffie for a while" he looks up at me again, the lower half of his face covered by his cloak
Vincent's POV
'Why is she being so nice to me? I'm a monster, if she knew she'd run a mile' i sigh as i face her "I just want to be alone" her face screws up at my reply. Why would she want me to join her and Yuffie? All I'll do is bring them both down. "fine, I'll leave you be. If you change your mind, you know where to find us" i watch as she walks off. She was very pleasing to the eye and she had an amazing figure. Almost as beautiful as Lucrecia. 'how i miss her' my thoughts began to trail off again as my face fell back to my lap. I needed to get away for a while. I needed to see her again. I waist no time standing up and slipping out the door before anyone could see me leave. I went straight to Kalm, her cave was near there. I needed some time with her to gather my thoughts. I placed myself on the floor in front of her crystal. She looked so beautiful, just as i remember her 'so, we meet again, Lucrecia' how i missed her. I could have saved her, i should have saved her. I hear faint whispers of her voice 'I'm so sorry' i look up to her, sadness in my heart 'why? It's me who should be sorry'
Vicky's POV
I returned to my seat next to Yuffie. I couldn't get Vincent out of my head. He looked so sad and troubled. Yuffie breaks my thoughts as she nudges me "another drink? Maybe some shots?" i smile and nod as i stand up and follow her to the bar. Tifa walks over to us and smiles "what can i get you both?" Yuffie returns her smile "2 shots each and another vodka and coke each please Tifa" she nods and prepares our drinks then places them in front of us. We down our shots and my face screws up. They were strong and left a horrible burn. I shake my head "they are nasty! But so good" Yuffie laughs "i know right?" we find our way back to our seats. I scout around the room and notice it was a little less, full. Vincent had left, but i hadn't noticed anyone pass to go upstairs. 'maybe he had to get some air? I hope he's ok' just then i feel Lillith begin to stir and fight to the surface. I sigh as the feeling tingles through out my body and i allow her some control to speak. 'you have a crush on someone, don't you?' 'don't be so stupid! I'm just concerned about him, that's all' i shake my head and sigh. I didn't need this right now. There was music playing in the background and a few people were dancing in the space between the tables. It looked like fun "Yuffie, wanna dance?" she smiles and stands straight up "hell yeah!" we made our way to a spot between the tables and let our hips sway to the music. I let it take over my whole body as i moved. My head was clear of everything and i was completely happy. As the night progressed people began to leave and Tifa started cleaning. Me and Yuffie were well and truly intoxicated as we stumbled towards the bar. Cloud looked at us and rolled his eyes "looks like you two should probably get some sleep" we both begin laughing "yeah i suppose you're right! Come on Yuff, let's head up to our rooms" we both stumble upstairs in each others arms to support each other. Once i had closed my door, all i wanted to do was flop onto my bed and sleep. My head was spinning and beginning to ache. I made my way over to my bed, but i couldn't find the energy to get undressed. My body fell limp and numb as i crashed onto my bed. I couldn't fight it, alcohol induced sleep took me quickly.
The morning sun was shining onto my face, the light was so bright behind my eyes that it made my head pound. I began groaning and pulled the quilt up high over my head. My body was aching and i wanted nothing more than to stay curled up in my bed. I stay there, moaning every now and again until i hear my phone go off. I grunt as i let the ring tone play over and over. Every time it stopped, it started again. I grunted after 20 minutes of it ringing and pulled the duvet down. I looked down at myself and sighed. I couldn't even be bothered to get undressed last night 'i must have been drunk!' my phone begins ringing again and i drag myself over to the other side of my room. I picked up my phone off the floor and answered. Not even looking to see who it was "hello?" i was surprised to hear the voice on the other end "Vicky? You don't sound so good, what's wrong?" i sigh "Reeve, i was a little drunk last night. I feel like shit! What do you want?" "i need your help on a mission. We need someone with your expert fighting skills. Come to the WRO and I'll fill you in" i sigh loudly, the last thing i wanted or needed was to work. "Reeve i look and feel like shit. I still have last nights clothes on and make up. You're going to have to give me some time to get ready" he begins to laugh and i screw my face up "I'll give you an hour, this is urgent! I have asked Vincent to be involved too, but i haven't heard anything from him. Make your way here as soon as" he hangs up and i flop back down onto my bed. I really didn't want to work today, but i couldn't let Reeve down. Plus, this might finally give me chance to get to know the mysterious Vincent Valentine. I reluctantly pull myself back off my bed and drag myself to the bathroom. I turn on my shower and remove all of last nights clothes, before sliding myself in and letting the warm water crash onto my skin. I tilt my head back and savour the moment, before starting to wash away the smell of alcohol and sweat. I spend almost 20 minutes in the shower, before turning it off and stepping out. I wrap a towel around my body and begin drying my hair with another. I sigh again before letting my towel drop to the floor. Putting on my black underwear i take out my black skinny jeans and black strappy top. After applying my usual basic make up, i dry my hair and scoop it into a pony tail. I looked in the mirror once more and sighed loudly, before taking my phone and keys and leaving the room.
I walk down to the bar and notice Tifa was serving. I smile at her and walk over, she returns my smile "where you off?" i sigh "Reeve wants me to help him and Vincent on a mission. I'll fill you in when i return"
she nods and watches as i leave the bar. Time to take my pride and joy for a ride, my motorbike. Since i never really had anyone in my life, i spent all my time and money on my bike. That is, until i made new friends. On my way to the WRO i receive another call off Reeve. I notice my phone going off and pull over. Taking my helmet off, i answer "what's wrong? I'm on my way!" i hear him sigh "Kalm is under attack, i need you there now!" "I'll head straight there"
Vincent's POV
I was sat in my hotel, thinking, when i heard an explosion. There had been a celebration going on in the streets below, until now. I look out the window and see the people of Kalm screaming and running for cover. I quickly take out my cerberus as i notice an enemy aircraft hover just outside my window. It fires at me, but i quickly jump out the building. I fire several rounds at it, successfully taking it down. I run through the streets, taking out all enemy troops as i come across them. I find myself in the middle of Kalm when i see her, Vicky. She was stood there shooting at some enemy soldiers. I have to admit, she was very good with a gun. As they begin to surround her, she takes out a long sword and begins slashing at them. I couldn't leave her to fight alone, so i ran towards her. I fired many bullets into the soldiers and watched as they dropped to the floor. When i reached her, she smiled at me and put her weapons away "Vincent Valentine, I've been sent here to help you by Reeve. He needs our help, urgently" i shake my head, why would Reeve need our help? "why does he need us? What's going on here?" i notice her shrug and shake her head "i don't know what's going on, but i think we should at least meet Reeve." i didn't want to, but i followed her. As we cleared some more enemy soldiers, i see her take out her phone. After a few minutes, she looks up to me "we need to meet Reeve just on the outskirts of here, we need to hurry!" i nod and follow her. I watch on in amazement as she takes down the enemy without breaking a sweat. She really knew how to handle herself. When we reach the building we were supposed to meet Reeve in, one of the walls blows, and a huge blue creature steps into the room. He is followed my a young girl and several soldiers. She looks directly at me "the protomateria? We know you have it!" i shrug "proto...what?" the huge beast like man shouts "heil Weiss!" as do the soldiers surrounding him. Me and Vicky quickly take them down and face back to the huge man and the young girl. He smirks at us "challenge accepted" before we could do anything, the young girl falls to the floor. I hear a faint voice shout "this way!" and the huge beast like man scoops the girl off the floor "luck is on your side" as he turns to walk away, i hear the girl mumble "I'm sorry" the huge man turns back around to face me "i am Azul, we will meet again!" with that, he leaves.
Vicky's POV
Azul and the young girl had left, just as Reeve enters the room. He had several WRO troops with him. I put my gun away and watch as Vincent walks over to him. Reeve looks to us both with worry "Vincent Valentine, Vicky. Are you both all right?" i hear Vincent sigh "Reeve, nice to see you again. Not a very interesting outfit though!" Reeve let's out a small laugh !i couldn't decide what costume to wear today. But enough small talk, who were those soldiers?" i watch as Vincent shakes his head "i don't know. The large one called himself, Azul" Reeve gasps and takes a step back. Seeing this, i begin to worry. 'they must mean trouble' "Azul, the cerulean? Of the Tsviets? That could only mean..." just then i hear one of the WRO soldiers shout "COMMISSIONER!" several enemy soldiers burst into the room. Reeve turns to me and Vincent "we'll discuss this later! WRO troops have arrived and started the rescue operation, we could use both of your help!" as he turns to walk away, i see Vincent walk forward slightly "Reeve?" he turns around partially "hm?" "i don't know what you're planning, but i want no part in it!" my eyes go wide hearing Vincent's response. How could he be so cold at a time like this? I hear Reeve sigh and step forward "but...you stood by us and fought three years ago! We need your help once mor..." we hear a loud gun shot and i watch as Reeve falls to the floor. I run to his side while Vincent takes out the enemy soldiers. I hear Vincent shout as i kneel beside Reeve "REEVE!" he joins me at his side and turns him over. As he does, we gasp in horror as his head falls off. But i sigh loudly when Cait sith pops out. 'great!' we both stand up right again as Cait sith bounces around. "that was a close one! I never was good at fighting, luckily i came out wearing Reeve. You're really not a bad bloke are ya Vincent? You pretend not to care, but you always come through in the end" hearing Cait sith talk that way about Vincent, i look over to him and smile. 'Vincent Valentine DID care. He never showed anyone, but he does care deep down' my thoughts began to trail
Vincent's POV
I sigh "all right, what do you want me to do?" i notice Vicky smile a warm smile at me and Cait sith jumps "let's run these guys out of town! I'll leave the method up to you two. When you're done, meet me in the square near the east church" i watch as he leaves along with the WRO troops. Vicky walks over to me and smiles "we should get moving. I'm glad you decided to help, i couldn't do this alone. Neither could Reeve and the WRO" i return her smile and follow her out of the house. We make our way through Kalm, taking down any enemy soldiers we encounter. When we finally arrive at the church, i hear a loud noise and look up. I notice an enemy aircraft and take out my cerberus. I notice Vicky also take out her gun. I turn to her "let me handle this" she looks at me confused and a little annouyed "what? Why do you get all the fun?" i sigh and wrap my arm around her waist "just trust me!"
Vicky's POV
His arm was wrapped firmly around my waist, the feel of him felt...good. He jumped high on to the roof of the church and set me down. I was almost upset that he had let me go. I shake my head to clear my thoughts and watch as he jumps down firing at the aircraft. He moves through the sky from roof to roof so elegant. I watch as he jumps in the air and my eyes go wide. When he lands on the enemy airship, he isn't Vincent. All i could see was a wolf like beast. I watched as it tore into the vehicle and brought it down. When he landed again, Vincent was back. I couldn't believe my eyes. He had a demon inside him, just like me. I never knew. I jumped off the church and faced him "Vincent, was that..." before i could say any more we were approached by enemy soldiers. They began shooting at us as we shot back. There were so many of them. As we hid behind some crates, shooting furiously, a shadowfox turned up and blocked the incoming fire. I am relieved when Reeve and some WRO troops exit the truck. Reeve nods towards me and Vincent before returning fire on the enemy. Once they were all eliminated, we could finally rest. I watch as Vincent walks over to a crate and sits on top. I just decide to lean against the wall and watch as Reeve talks to a WRO soldier. I watch as Reeve salutes the soldier and walks over to us. "good work Vincent, Vicky. The enemy is retreating, they have finally begun their withdrawal from Kalm" i sigh with relief "good!" Reeve looks on at us with worried eyes "however, we still need your help. Reports are Edge is under attack." i sigh and look down 'great, just when i thought i could go home and rest. Damn these bastards!'
