Whispers of the Dead
Chapter Seven
Valdina's Work Day (no this is not the name of the chapter)
The cheerful secretary waved back at me, thanking me for delivering the papers to her from Genesis. I simply nodded in consent and quickly left, determined not to be sucked into another meaningless conversation.
Sighing, I walked down the creepily empty hallway down to the elevator. The past few weeks were uneventful; deliver this set, rewrite this report, send emails and memos to other soldiers and big people... But the only interesting thing (or person, I should say) about this damn job was Vincent Valentine, some guard or other that always did a check or something on the three of us.
No matter how serious he was though, he was still a hot man.
Smirking, I pressed the button for the elevator and waited.
"Look at me..." I looked around, glaring at the unseen person. Cursing, I pressed the button again, willing the elevator to go faster.
Once the doors opened, I quickly slipped in and pressed the button for my working floor. I was glad to see that the elevator was empty, personally.
Then again, it could be my own personal hell.
The floor was the only non-reflective surface in the damn thing, so I immediately looked down, concentrating on creating patterns in the swirls that were on the carpet.
"Look at me, Valdina..."
My teeth gritted together, willing for my self control to not shatter. "Silence is sweet, silence is golden. He does not exist, he never did." I repeated this mantra to myself, once again willing for him to shut the hell up and leave me the fuck alone. "Silence is sweet, silence is go-"
"Valdina!"
I jumped and looked to the left, staring at the two reflections on the wall of the elevator. His eyes, his bright eyes kept staring straight down into my soul.
The smirk... I paled. No, no, not now!
"You know what happens when you don't obey me..." By now I was fully turned to him. He seemed to lean his head right next to mine, eyes never straying from where they glued me to the ground. He turned until his lips seemed to gently brush my ear, whispering my name in a dark malice.
Thankfully, the door opened right when I needed it to. I dashed out, not really concerned with all of the people that I pushed out of my way to do so.
Vincent Valentine couldn't help but think as to what the hell happened in the elevator that made Valdina react the way she did. Looking into the elevator, he could only see that it was getting filled up with the patrons that were waiting alongside him.
Angeal laid his hand on Valentine's shoulder and looked at him with an expression that he couldn't identify. "I don't think now is the time to go after her, Valentine." He nodded towards the elevator and said, "Come, we have the others to meet up with."
Vincent had the very faint thought to actually disobey the man and go after Valdina, but relented after barely half a second.
Still, both men couldn't help but glance at the walls around them to see if there was something that spooked Valdina. Vincent almost scoffed aloud at the childish word.
Scared her shitless was the more correct term anyways.
