Hello, peoples! I am still alive and well, don't worry :3 Well, I decided to actually update this after a while, and then couldn't think of anything :/ So I decided a time skip is in order! Love them things ^^

Welp, I don't own anything that has to do with Final Fantasy or the characters, no matter how much I love them...

Please enjoy!

Whispers of the Dead

Chapter 6

*time skip*

As much as I loved working here... It was downright exhausting. The paperwork was actually not the thing that made it exhausting.

It was the fans that made me want to puke my guts out and just quit.

They were annoying and sent the three of us letters and other such threats. Really, it was all very petty, but I can't really do anything about. It's all very frustrating... I already said that, didn't I?

The one thing that makes all of this worth it are the soldiers that we work under.

And oh... Are they hot! Hehehe...

Ahem... Excuse the fangirl peeking out again. She is quite the... interesting character to be around. Anyways...

"Madder, I need this sent to the Director." I looked up to see a thick envelope stuck in my face. I looked up to Sephiroth, the man I was working under. I nodded and gently took the packet, then frowned. "Um, how long is this?"

He shrugged and drank out of his coffee mug. Now that I looked at him closer, the man had dark bags under his eyes and seemed to be slouching a little. But that was a very minute slouch. Raising an eyebrow I asked my superior, "Are you alright?"

His glowing eyes seemed to glare at me before swiftly turning and walking away, his coat bellowing behind him like there was something majestic about him.

Scowling, I started typing up the damn report (it seemed to be about a species of wolves that transformed from the Mako energy that was being harvested in a certain area) and realized that there was something majestic about the tall, silver-haired soldier.

"Alex..." I paused and looked up from the computer. The room was empty. My scowl deepened, guessing on what the hell it was. I really did not need this shit right now. 'Just ignore him, Alex, just ignore him like he was not there and speaking to you. Just ignore him as if he didn't exist.'

"Alex? I know you can hear me." Echoes of his voice reverberated through my head. I couldn't really focus on the essay since my fingers decided that now was a good time to freeze up. "Don't panic." I hissed at myself, trying to force my body into calming down. It wasn't working. My eyes did not dare to look up from the computer screen.

I knew he was there, watching me with his dark beady eyes, waiting for me to react.

"Alex, look up."

"Don't say my name." I hissed. That was my first mistake, along with the mistake of looking up. His gaze kept me in place, a smirk crossing across his aristocratic features.

Before my mind could catch up to my body, there was a knife stuck in the wall, right where his head would be. That bastard's dark laugh seemed to stay there, mocking me in missing him.

That was the moment that the mind caught up. I felt myself pale, body going slack from fear. "Shit." I hissed, forcing myself up into a sitting position to grab the knife. I looked over and was glad to see that the door to Sephiroth's office was closed. I didn't know what I would say if it was; not the truth, that's for sure!

Sephiroth looked at the camera, wondering at the strange behavior of his secretary. He sighed and decided that carrying around that knife might be a bad thing. He was a witness to her anger once (and Gaia forbid that he was ever a victim of it) and he doubted that something out of the blue would anger her so.

His thoughts traveled back to the words that Zack said a couple of months ago as his gaze turned away from the screen.

A migraine was starting to form. It didn't help that Sephiroth had close to no sleep the past couple of nights. He was used to it, but he's not on a mission, dammit!

"We really need to get this business cleared up..." He muttered, green eyes flitting back to the screen, seeing Alex Madder take the knife out of the wall as if she hadn't chucked it in three or so inches.

Hey guys! Sorry that it is short, but hey, thought that the girls would get one chapter for one work day and then things can get real :3
