Zack punched a hole in the wall “I should have set more guards to watch her.”
When Lilly had failed to show up to their meeting that morning Zack had went to her apartment. Finding it empty, he had immediately called Sephiroth fearing the worst. Zack had found the guards he assigned to watch Lilly in the stairwell dead. Then surveillance system in Lilly’s building had been disabled so they had examined the security system of the building across the street to see when she had been taken. They had watched her enter the apartment building then thirty minutes later the men exited with her supported between them.
Sephiroth was standing at the window, his arms crossed over his chest, just staring out at nothing really. He was trying to keep control of the blood lust that had risen when he had learned of Hojo’s successful abduction of yet another person who had become a part of his life. His jaw popped as he ground his teeth, his fingers digging into his biceps.
“It wouldn’t have made a difference.” A strange voice said from the doorway. Both Zack and Sephiroth turned grabbing their weapons. Sephiroth glared at the raven-haired stranger in red as he leaned against the doorframe.
“Who are you?” Zack growled.
Red eyes met theirs. “I am Vincent valentine, and I can lead you to Lilly and Cloud.”
“What?’ Sephiroth hissed.
Vincent just stood there casually watching the men as they held their swords. Getting the message, Sephiroth dropped his hand off the handle of his giant sword and straightened to his full height. Crossing his arms over his chest, he barked. “Zack, let go of the sword.”
Zack’s blue eyes jerked to him in surprise but did as he was told.
Nodding Vincent entered the room, closing the door behind him. “Lilly was unaware of a tracking device I had implanted in her. When she did not call at her scheduled time, I turned on the receiver and followed her abductors. They are located in a secure facility in the mountains not far from here.”
“How do you know Cloud is there too?” Zack asked. Knowing Sephiroth was not in the mood to speak judging by the tick in his jaw.
“I am very good at gathering information.” Turning to Sephiroth, he added, “Hojo is there as well. I can lead you there but I’m afraid you may not be able to come back to soldier.”
“Why is that?” Sephiroth asked harshly.
“I have reliable information that the president is the one who authorized the abductions of both Cloud and Lilly. He will not allow you to go after them.” Vincent could feel the rage radiating off Sephiroth and he really didn‘t blame him. While he had been crouched down by that fence Vincent had felt the same emotion when Hojo had laughed about how easy it was for him to get the authorization from the president.
Zack looked from the stranger in the room with them to Sephiroth and for the first time in his time with soldier Zack saw Sephiroth’s carefully created emotional mask fall, turning red with an anger he was grateful was not going to be directed at him.
“Very well.” Sephiroth hissed low in his throat. “We make plans to leave.”
Lilly sat in a field looking around. Lucrecia appeared before her. “I’m sorry, I failed.” Lilly said dropping her head back to look up at the sky. She knew she was in a kind of inner world and what she saw was not real, but she still felt a kind of peace here.
“You haven’t failed yet.” Lucrecia said sitting in the grass beside her. Looking over at the brunette, Lilly felt grateful she did not blame her for her abduction.
Lucrecia smiled as she looked at her, “I know Vincent will be on his way to help you.”
“I’m not so sure about that.” Lilly answered grabbing a handful of grass and tugging it out of the ground. Lucrecia just smiled in response then leaned her head back and closed her eyes against the sun in this inner world.
After Zack had ran off to put Sephiroth’s orders into motion Sephiroth began to gather weapons together for the raid. It had been settled that Vincent and himself would go after Cloud and Lilly and meet up with Zack later at Lilly’s home in the mountains.
“There is one last thing.” Vincent added.
Sephiroth turned and watched the red-eyed man.
“Lilly has had visions concerning you, Cloud and an experiment of Hojo’s,” Vincent continued. “Lilly told me that Cloud comes from an alternate universe were he had been forced to protect the world from you.”
Sephiroth was not overly surprised to hear this, after all of the dreams he had been having lately it was not too far of a leap for him to believe they were real. “I believe I have been dreaming of this world. In one of the dreams Cloud had taken my life”
“That did happen where he came from.” Vincent said.
Closing his eyes Sephiroth took a deep breath, then opened them “What does this have to do with our rescue?” he asked already knowing the answer.
“Jenova is the reason for your loose of control in the other world, and she is in the compound with Cloud and Lilly. Should you see her you must not go near her.” Sephiroth could only nod in response
“If it should happen take my life while I’m still sane. I do not want my death on Cloud’s hands again.”
Vincent nodded “You have my word.”
