Zelos' Depression to the Worlds


Chapter Six: The Black Venom Bottle

(Zelos had returned to his home, Sheena didn't come because she had to return to Mizuho for an important assignment that the chief had for her. Zelos is now opening the door to his mansion.)

Zelos: (walks into his home) Sebastian, I'm back! (looking around) Sebastian? (he closes the door behind him gently as he continues to call for his butler) Sebastian??

Sebastian: (had been standing at the top staircase just looking at Zelos)

Zelos: (looks up slowly) Sebastian, there you are. Why haven't you come when I called you?

Sebastian: (glaring at Zelos as he comes down the stairs)

Zelos: (raises an eyebrow) Sebastian? What's wrong with you? ....Sebastian?

Sebastian: Master Zelos, it believes that I found this (takes out the black bottle from his pocket) while I was cleaning out your closet.

Zelos: (looks at the bottle then at Sebastian) .......The bottle! Sebastian, may I have that back?!

Sebastian: Master Zelos, what!? What are you thinking?! I will do no such thing!

Zelos: You dare disobey? Sebastian, hand it back. NOW.

Sebastian: Sir, what has gotten into you?! You want to take your own life?

Zelos: Do you think I give a crap?! Let me do what I want. You are not supposed to interfere in my life. YOU'RE JUST MY BUTLER!

Sebastian: (nodds no) no sir, I wasn't just your butler to you or your family. I'm family.

Zelos: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. MY FAMILY!? IT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE CALLED FAMILY.

Sebastian: Zelos, you have it all wrong. Your mother did love you, your sister loves you too. Zelos, you have to listen.

Zelos: Sebastian, you have no right to tell me what you just told me now.

Sebastian: Because it's the truth sir! Even your friends love you. They care.

Zelos: That's ENOUGH SEBASTIAN.

(a knock on the door was just heard.)

Zelos and Sebastian: (look at the door)

(Sheena was at the door. She needs Zelos to go with her on her assignment.)

Zelos: Sebastian, hide the bottle.

Sheena: (behind the door, can hear them, she begins listening) bottle? what bottle?

Sebastian: What are you insane!? I will not hide this poisonous bottle, RIDICULOUS.

Sheena: Poisonous bottle? (looking at the door) ....

Zelos: That's an order. Do it!

Sebastian: No sir. I will not hide this bottle just for you so you can go on and commit suicide just by drinking this! I won't let you, Master Zelos!!!!!

Zelos: Do it, or else you're fired.

Sheena: (gasps) ....No...so...he had been hiding something like that from me and everyone...the bottle so he would commit suicide. He was hiding that plan the whole time.

Sebastian: .....Sir...you don't mean it?

Zelos: DO YOU THINK I WOULD BE JOKING AT A TIME LIKE THIS!?

Sheena: (opens the door quickly since it was open) ZELOS WILDER (looking at him)

Zelos: (turns to see Sheena at the door) ....Sheena.

Sheena: (had walked up to Sebastian) Sebastian, let me see the bottle.

Sebastian: (hands the black bottle to her)

Sheena: (looking at the bottle) .....Black Venom? (she looks at Zelos)

Zelos: .....for....rats?

Sheena: (had given a cold glare to the red-headed chosen) liar

Zelos: ....Sheena

Sheena: I heard everything. YOU STUPID CHOSEN. I can't believe you! I know you may do ediotic things, BUT DO SOMETHING SO STUPID LIKE THAT? (holding the bottle and showing it to him) LIKE COMMITING SUICIDE? Zelos, what would you accomplish by just ridding yourself from the world by using this? (holding the black bottle still) NOTHING. Nothing but tears from your fellow friends and family! Especially from ME! ME! The one who loves you! YOU STUPID CHOSEN!!!!

Zelos: ......

Sheena: Kratos was at the point of doing something like that by asking his own son to kill him, but his son told him what was right and what was wrong. And what I am saying is....YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

Zelos: Sheena...(he just continues looking at her)

Sheena: and you would threaten fire your own butler just for that bottle???

Zelos: Hey he would've been out of work even if I killed myself.

Sheena: (walks up to him and smacks him hard across the face) YOU ASSHOLE

Zelos: (grunts as he was just slapped by the angry ninja girl, he's now looking at the other side) ....

Sheena: Look what you just said!

Zelos: Look Sheena, would it matter for me to live?

Sheena: It does matter! It matters to me, Sebastian, Lloyd and everyone else!!!! Even to you, Zelos!

Zelos: no it doesn't

Sheena: Your sister doesn't want you to say that. She would rather hear you say positive things.

Zelos: Don't you dare bring up Seles. She's nothing to me, GOT IT?

Sheena: She's your sister, Zelos!! I know Seles doesn't hate you. And I know you care about her, your friends and everyone. And I know you care for me too, I know you love me too.

Zelos: ....(he looks away from her) I do not.

Sheena: you are lying again.

Zelos: Sheena, you are the one that's lying. You don't know me or my past. Do you get it?! You don't know me very well! And even if you wanted to know, you wouldn't be ready for me to tell it to you.

Sheena: Zelos, I love you, why can't you just tell me?

Zelos: Because it doesn't concern you. It's my life and privacy. No one outside should know. NO ONE.

Sheena: (looking at him) Zelos, look at me.

Zelos: (he refuses to look at her)

Sheena: Zelos, please...please look at me.

Zelos: (looks at her, he sees the bottle. He starts to get an idea) .....

Sheena: You don't trust me?

Zelos: ...I do Sheena...it's just...

Sheena: what?

Zelos: ....(hugs her to him, he's looking at the bottle) ....I don't know when to trust people again....

Sheena: (she hugs him back) .....

Zelos: (he quickly took the bottle away from Sheena and backed away, drawing his sword in front of her)

Sebastian: MASTER ZELOS

Sheena: ZELOS

Zelos: (holding the bottle away from everyone) Look Sheena. You and I? We are never meant to be. Don't you understand? I'm not supposed to exist!

Sheena: Zelos, this is BULLSHIT.

Zelos: Bullshit? You're one to talk. Telling me all your fucking damn lies.

Sheena: THEY ARE NOT LIES!!!

Sebastian: I knew something like this would happen and I'm glad I did this...

Zelos: Sebastian? What are you talking about?!

Sebastian: COME ON OUT

Zelos: what? (looks around to see Lloyd, Kratos, Regal, Raine, Genis, Colette, and Presea appear) ...What the hell is going on? SEBASTIAN.

Lloyd: Zelos...we are here to help you...now give me the bottle...

Zelos: no...(backs away with his sword pointed at them) Sebastian, you traitor...

Sebastian: Traitor? I am only trying to help you...

Kratos: drop your weapon and hand over the bottle nice and easy, Zelos.

Zelos: (nodds no) no...you have to be kidding me...

Lloyd: ZELOS

Zelos: (makes a run for the door)

(Kratos, Regal and Lloyd run after him and grab him before he can even make it to the door.)

Zelos: (had dropped the bottle and the sword, the bottle lands on the floor and breaks spilling all the poison liquid all over the floor) NOOOO!!

Kratos, Lloyd and Regal: (holding him back)

Kratos: ZELOS GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!

Lloyd: ZELOS

Sheena: ZELOS STOP!

Colette: Zelos....this isn't like you...why? why?

Zelos: (yelling loudly, being held back) WHY!??? WHY DID YOU STOP ME?!

Lloyd: it's for your own good.

Kratos, Lloyd and Regal: (they drag Zelos onto a chair and make him sit down, then they handcuffed his wrists behind him and handcuffed his ankles together)

Zelos: (can't move, his head is down) damn it....why.....?

Lloyd: Because we want you to overcome your problem. It's just getting ridiculous.

Zelos: ....

Lloyd: Zelos, you are going to talk to each and everyone of us in private, do you understand?

Zelos: ......all of you?

Lloyd: Me, Kratos, Sheena, Raine, Genis, Colette, Regal, Presea, Sebastian, and your sister, Seles.

Zelos: ......

Lloyd: I am sorry Zelos, but we can't let you go on doing something so stupid like that. Remember, we are your friends, we care about you. You are important in our lives. Who cares what happened in the past? It could've been a lie? or it could've been a nightmare. What you have to focus is what is in the future and now. The past is the past, leave it at that. All can be forgiven or will be forgiven. Zelos, you have value in your life, you must live for your mother, your sister, your friends and for yourself. Live Zelos....live. Think about it Zelos. And tell us when you're ready to talk.

Zelos: .......(nodds) ...I will...

To Be Continued...

Tifa-Zelos: ah...well at least Sheena, Lloyd and everyone stopped him. Thank God.

Zelos: -.-' Seriously hun, I wouldn't ...(Tifa-Zelos staples his mouth to the wall) O.O

Tifa-Zelos: -.- I warned you, You Stupid Chosen.

Zelos: (mumbling "HEY THAT'S SHEENA'S LINE!")

Tifa-Zelos: (sighs) Whatever Zelos....I'll see you guys in the next chapter. Bye!!
