The Story of the Secret Wings

Chapter Two- Priorities

I heard Zack speaking to me, but I didn’t care enough to actually listen, instead I got up and started running again, screaming out of frustration when Angeal caught me around the waist again. I glared back at him and brought my foot up hard to meet his groin, as soon as I heard him groan loudly and fall to the ground and started to run again.

“Leto wait!” I didn’t listen and started to kick and scream as the man in red grabbed my hand and the silver haired man the other, also holding a long, dangerous looking sword to my throat.

Zack kneeled in front of me, “Leto, calm down!”

I spat at his feet, “I want my Mother!”

He nodded and held my face in both of his hands, “I know Leto, but you have to let her go, let her go and we promise to give you whatever you want!”

I shook my head, “Why? Give her back to me!”

He smiled, but I saw it was a shaky one- he was not sure what to say. “Okay, we will let the officials explain it, just come with us, I won’t let anything hurt you! Ever!” I smiled, knowing he meant every single word, but did not trust the others. He saw that and looked at them, “They won’t hurt you, they are your friends.”

I stood slowly and stared at my feet as if they were the most interesting things in the world, “I don’t have friends.”

He took one finger and lifted my chin, making sure I looked into his sky-blue eyes, “you do now. Four of them.”

What he said brought new tears to my eyes, he chuckled and took me into his arms, “Aren’t you happy?”

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he picked me up to take me inside and I nodded into his chest.

“Then why are you crying?” he chuckled again and started walking.

“I think she is very overwhelmed Fair.” A new voice, one that I took a liking to immediately spoke, however, I did not look to see whom it was.

“Alright Sephiroth, but can you carry her? I need to talk to Zack.” Angeal’s voice rang out.

I looked at Zack who was looking across from me at the Silver-haired man, “Alright.” He was the one who had the voice.

I smiled as I was placed in his arms and hid my face in his leather trench. This man, it seemed like I have met him before…but when? He smelt nice as well, I felt his chest rumble with soft laughter, “Well, glad you like me.”

I smiled, “you seem fromiliar.”

“Hm.” He sighed.

I squeezed my eyes shut as unfamiliar light shined into my eyes, temporarily blinding me, “the lights are fluorescent.”  Sephiroth said, as if he read my mind, “They will hurt your eyes if you walk in suddenly after being in the dark.”

I nodded, “Where are we going?” I asked.

“We are going to talk to Professor Hojo, I know it is late, but he will be able to clear things out for you.”

I sighed and looked at him, he was looking ahead, but I knew he knew I was looking at him. He was a handsome man with cat-like green eyes, much like mine. His face was a bit younger looking than Angeals, and slightly more angular. Sephiroth, in all his appearances, wore a long black coat with silver pauldrons, black boots and black clothing. The top of his clothing is open to reveal his chest, with his leather suspenders crossed over it. Sephiroth's hair is long and silver with his bangs parted to either side of his face. I smiled, yes he was handsome, and so were the other three.

We walked for around ten minutes, but it seemed like hours, the whole while I could hear Angeal, Zack and the other man speaking in harsh whispers, I could not make out what they were saying, but looking over Sephiroth’s shoulder I could see that they were arguing.
