Valentine
Chapter 8 — Chapter 11
Blood splattered across the ground, leaving a trail of newly rotting flesh behind. Her plunged into another heartless, silencing it forever. With a soundless movement she removed it from the dying heartless without a second thought. Dark blood ran down her long katana,glistening hilt to tip. The gooey black substance sparkled in the moons errie glow.She sighed,pulling down her black hood. The tips of her wings twitched,a tingle ran down her spin.Sshe turned, a moment to late.A black,beedy eyed heartless jumped her ,knocking her to the ground.She gasped,the monster slashing her across the face.Before she could react, sound like firecrakers engulfed everything.She shut her eyes,a sticky wetness eain down on her face.Silence.She slowly opened her eyes.A gloved hand entered into her fuzzy vision,waiting for hers.She grabbed it pulling herself up.
"Thanks,"She said wiping the blood off her face. She stuck her finger end her ear."ow,maybe you should invested in a silencer for that thing."The tall raven hair man nodded,an amused look on his,usually somber face,He dumped the empty shells on the ground.The wind blew gently behind her. She frowned,felling the back of her jacket.Small.claw like marks ripped it to ribbions. "Joy.” She grunted sarcastly taking it off.
"What?"Ceberus said looking up.She sighed holding up the torn black fabricin the air.
"My jacket,I have to sew it again."Ceberus eyed the tattered pieace of cloth.He went back is gun reloading it.
"Cant you get just get another one?" He said half heartly.A look of sorrow filled her deep blue eyes.
"No,"She said softly."My dad made this for me.” A sad smile, touched her lips."although,"she said holding it up higher."Those weren't exactly happy memories I belive."He starred at her,an indecribed look on his face.
"You...truly don't remeber anything do you?"She bowed her head,her silver mane forming a vail around her face,hidding her tears.She clutched the small trinket around her neck,as if held her vary soul.
"I....."She shook her head dismissing it."No,besides bits and pieces and this.Nothing.His eyes narrowed,he looked away hidding whatever thought he had.
"But,"She added quietly.He turned his head ."I remeber more every day."She clutched the necklace tighter."thats why, i have to find him ,because once i remeber everything i won't be happy with the way things are."He stared at the ground, not looking at her.For a few short minutes silence in engulfed them.
"How long till we reach the others?"Ceberus said,breaking the silence.She sholdered Masamune,switching her keyblade to her left hand.
"mmm.. about 5,10 minutes if we take the short way.15 if we get attacked like have been."He nodded,walking infront of her.
"Lets be off then."He said already ready walking ahead.
"Hai,"She said running after him.He stopped, his head torwards the ground.
"Ceberus?"She said questionally.He looked at her,his crision eye glowing in the darkness.The wind changed,flowing like winters first breath.His cape flew in the wind like a banner of bloody sorrow.
"When we get back ill help you Ill help you re sew it."He said in a low voice.She cocked her head.
"What?"She said in confusion.He didn't answer.His only responds was him walking forward ,deeper into the night.
*********************************************************************
They walked enless on the deslate,narrow streets of upper midgar.Errie senes of dejavu hanted her.She walk silently by Ceberus's side,her mind wandering places it shouldn't.
Crisimons dropplets on the yellow and white flower below,staning them red.................A throbbing pain emnated from her arm,she dropped to her knees.
"Elxia?'Ceberus askedShe couldn't reply.The words died in her throat.A giant needle hovered over her head...........Her heart hammered in her chest,eyes rolling in the back of her head.
"Elxia!"He cried in vain.dark flames rose to the midnight sky.....ash filled her lungs.She cooughed ,chocking on the smell of burning flesh......
"Elxia wake up!"Her body ignored the command.She went into shook,her body shivering vionetly.A velt purple coffin laid infront of her,beckoning inside....Crismon eyes glowed from inside....................
"Wake up !"
(Ceberus pov)
She awoke,blue eyes staring at him in helpless confusion.He sighed,holding her tigher to his chest.He gritted his teeth.Is this what i did to her?He thought .WAs this his fault?
"um........"She said muzzled into his chest "Not that i don't like hot guys hugging me in the middle of nowhere , its kinda hard to breath like this."He relicantly released her,helping her to her feet.
“Are you alright?”He managed to croak.She nooded,dazed.
“For the most part.”she shook her head,as if it could rid of what illed her.She smirked,”Worried?”He ignored her sarcasm she patting the dirt off her jeans.They where black,baggy jeans with 7 tears in them.She topped it off with a black tank top with a red bright red bow where the remains of her heart was exposed.She wore arm bands where her scars on her arms should be.Some were from Hojo,others were self-inflected.She never tried to hide it,she always just smile and say
“IM a solider,this is just the inaction scars.”It had always been different with him,every since they met .She knew he worried about her,sometimes more than he should.As if she was a so fragile that she break if you looked at her.After everything he’s been through,it was amazing he let her go anywhere.She would just shake her head say “It’s just scratch.”then mumble about how he acted more like her father than her boyfriend.He smirked.The thought of being like sephiroth amused him to no end.
He shook his.Elxia now,meomeries later.
“You sure your all right ?”He said a little less tense.She sighed,picking up Masamune off the ground
“Yeah,Yeah.”She sanpped.”Its normal.Stop acting like my dad.Cid does that enough.”He sighed under his breath.Something never change not even with memory loss.
“Sorr-wait,”He said confused.”Normal ?” She froze,her eyes widened.
“I-“Before she could answer,bone-chilling darkness engulfed them.Throwing them into emptiness.He gripped the gun in his halters.
“Elxia…”He said through gritted his teeth.She growled,shaking her head.
“I’m not doing this ………”Before another word could said something lefted him in the air,futherand futher away from his sliver hairied beauty.
It emptied him into a wooden chair in a dark room.Bright blue eyes,cryn eyes stared him.Polished sliver hair shimmered as she moved.She wore a black gothic ,black and red leggings were ripped 7 times .A large Katana layed in her lap.A bright blood red bow rested in the middle of her chest,a small crack slipped into view,revealing a blue,cracked heart.She smiled at him,sholdering a black parasol.
“Hello Mr.Vale-ent-ine.”
