She dipped her head, staring down at the all to familiar blade dripping crimson blood on the flowers below, staining them. The cold laughter of the insane man rang in her head as the coldness of death began crept upon her. “ So how does feel,” he began icily” To fall by blade of a god?” She winched in agony as he drove the blade deeper into her chest, “Father…”she pleaded desperately “don’t…He can’t-” The resurrected tyrant chuckled mercilessly at her useless pleads. With one graceful move, he ripped the blood-covered masamune out of her heart, shattering it. She gasped. Darkness exploding across her senses, engulfing everything to point she could see nothing but his glowing blue eyes. “This is a lesson, dear child .He is not worthy of the child of a god. He has sinned and your death with serve as his eternal punishment.” He pushed her to the unseen ground below her. He let out devilish chuckle.”Just like Cloud with that Ancient.” She growled helplessly, unable to get up. “Her name was Aerith!” She cried from the darkness. “She was one my best friends...”Before the tyrant could reply a sound of agony echoed of the walls. “Elxia!” She heard Vincent cry in a pain filled voice. All she could see of him was his crimson despair-filled eyes. Behind her she heard her father’s sick laugh. “I will see you again daughter, in the promise land!” With that she felt his mincing presents vanish, leaving her in cold, bitter darkness…........ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elxia awoke in a cold sweat.Pain erupted her limbs like unquenchable fire.Her attempts to move or scream where reward with more pain and inauditable sqeaks.After what seem like forever, the pain dulled, disappearing once again. With a winch, she pulled herself up slowly.A name crept inside her head.A look of destain crossed her face as she recited it quietly. "Sephiroth," She said in a whisper.A feeling she not remember plauged her as she recited the name.Was it Hate?Fear?Ange?No, it was something worse.....Regret.For what she did not know.She shrugged the horrid feeling off.Another question plagued her thoughts.Where was she ? She looked around.She seem to be in a small room.The walls where painted black,contrasting the crimson curtains hanging from the windows.A small dark wooded desk stood in the corner next to the bed were she was laying .On it her, prizes possession laid the chain dangling of the edge.With on swipe, she grabbed clutching it close to her heart, that is what was left of it. " Your awake." She jumped, turning to face the direction off the voice.In the doorway of the room stood a tall man.His crimson eyes glowed brightly through tattered black bangs.His long hair was tied back into a sloppy ponytail.His lips were tinted icey pink.A black komono was tied losely around his waist with a crimson sash,exposing most of his muscular chest.From appearance it looked as if he had just awakened. " How long have I .....?"She trailed off , tring not to stare at him. "three weeks," He emotionlessly finishing her question "That necklace saved you."Elxia stared down at the battered peice of metal.A small chuckle escaped her. " To think i wasn't going to wear this today.."She turned facing him."Hey...your that vamp that will never tell me your name!"He starred down at the floor, not responding to her outburst. " Come on," She growled impatiently "I can't just keep calling vamp- "Get dressed," He said cutting her off."There are clothes for you in the closet.We have to leave soon."She blinked blankly. "Leave?Where?"He looked up, his crimson eyes starring at her intensely.It was almost as if was holding his tongue on something he wanted to tell her badly...A minute later he bit his lip, staring at ground.His eyes were filled with hurt and a sadness she did not recognize. " Midgar.Cloud and your friends are there.They said it was important.She nodded her head . " Heartless probably,Hey you still haven't given me anything to call you."His eyes shifted a sad smirk cross his lips He turned not facing her. " You never miss a thing...do you?I guess thats something that will remain the same."He fell silent before starting again."you may call me Cerberus for the moment." "Cerberus.." she repeated he nodded,turning to leave the room. "Hey!" She said stopping him in his tracks. "Yes?" he ask questionably.She scratched her head in embarrassment. " Um......Thank you .....For saving me that is.Usually i would kicked there asses... but you know three against one ."He let out a humorless chuckle. "Your welcome,Elxia."He said softly.The door closed behindhim with a click as he left .Leaving her all alone in the empty room.
