Sephiroth's pov

I held her arm with all of my strength I had. The cliff was deep, it seemed like a dark abyss that never ended. I bit my lip and swung her upwards onto the top of the cliff. To safety, I was relived to know that she was safe. I swung myself up with my sword. I hoisted my body over the edge and struggled to do so. When I was up onto land, I panted with exhaustion. I stared at the orange and dusted pink sky, I thought of how much I screwed up. I have screwed everything up so bad.
I lost my chance of escaping the enchantment, of breaking the damn spell. I was arrogant to the woman who broke the beast from the chains.

"Get up, we are settling this now." I heard a voice and that broke me out of my thoughts. 

I stood up and noticed she was awake and ready to fight. Her palms were clenched into tight fists. Her knuckles were pale, I could tell she was furious still.

She suddenly summoned her sword. She jogged quickly over to me.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Bree? I suggest you don't." 

"You doubt me, though I am also a general. You killed my sister and never told me about that until now! I am going to do the same thing to you as what you did to my sister. You arrogant bastard, you are going to wish you never fought me!" She growled, her eyes were different even. Her eyes didn't show passion and care. Her eyes showed fury and the look of a killer.

"Breanne, I'm asking you this once. Put down the sword and we will go back and talk about this. You can scream the nonsense about me all you want." She growled and placed separated her legs into a fighting stance.

I held my sword close to me, ready for Karma.

She lunged at me first, I parried her attacks. Steel clashed multiple times. Sparks flew off our swords. I pressed myself into her, punishing her back so I don't fall off the cliff.

She kicked me in the knee making me almost stumble. I dropped Masumine accidentally.

She lunged at me with full force, the tip of the blade was close to my face. I quickly grabbed the blade with my palms. Feeling the skin separate and crimson blood leak from my palms. I growled in pain. I bit my lip and hit her in the chest with my knee. I sent her back, she dropped her sword and groaned in pain. I grabbed my blade, and growled at the burning feeling of my palms. She didn't give up. She layed on her back and quickly grabbed her sword. She shot up off the ground like a bullet.

"I didn't recall learning that we were aloud to play dirty, Sephiroth." She growled, with a laugh.

I smirked, I suddenly had that same feeling. The same feeling that I felt when I killed Aerith. I felt a sense of anger and power. I pared her attacks once again. Each swing was like time stopped. I suddenly swung with all of my strength. Her blade split in two and the blade was sent off of the cliff. I suddenly saw the fear in her eyes that made me stop. The look of fear. I wasn't a monster, I didn't want her to see that. I dropped my sword having an idea. If she won't break the spell, then I will give it a try.

"You want to learn how death feels? Take my blade and finish this once and for all." I growled holding my arms out to my sides. I heard her footsteps, she picked up the sword and faced me.

She drawed her arm back, and aligned the blade up with my chest. 

"You were right, you shouldn't of let the beast out from the chains. Finish this now, while you can. For what I did...I don't deserve you, Bree. That's why I am allowing you to finish me. That is what love is all about." I stared into her predator, dark eyes. They suddenly softened, her eye colour changed from red and black to a beautiful aqua colour.

Her lip suddenly quivered in sadness. Her hands shook, tears started to weld up in her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were filled with sadness. Then suddenly the tears escaped. I took a minute to catch my breath, but my eyes didn't leave hers.

How could I leave her? How could I want to leave someone as beautiful as her.

"Aerith, I'm so sorry. This was never something you wanted to see me become." She cried dropping the sword to the side. The sounds of her sobbing broke my heart to the extreme.

"S-Sephiroth?" She questioned, choking on her words.

I raised an eye brow and then stared at the ground. I felt guilt for what I did to her. I truly did deserve to be cursed.  

"I'm sorry...." She whispered. She suddenly picked up the sword. She then drives the blade though my chest. I suddenly choked on my air. I couldn't believe it. She pulled out the blade, and suddenly darkness consumed me.

Breanne's pov

I felt pain. I looked into his eyes, it soften then closed. What have I done! Tears built up into my eyes. I had killed him! I killed the one I had feelings for....I started choking on my tears and sobs. I shouldn't have done that.

I picked him up in my arms, he was heavy. But all muscle more than anger. I looked up to the sky that mourned. Tears went down my face. I had killed our one-winged angel. I would have to suffer this pain for the rest of my life. I hated the anger I had for him, when we fought.

Suddenly a white, fluffy wing had extended out from my left shoulder blade. I took off like a bullet, and went back to the Manor. But as I landed, I saw he was still breathing. How? 

I have to help him. This is going to be my curse for the rest of my life. Knowing that I killed my one-winged angel, or at least almost succeeded. But it wasn't fair, I fought without honour, just like how Angeal taught me. I was suppose to back off when he dropped his sword, but some reason I couldn't control myself. That wasn't me.

I carried him to his room but I had to figure my way around in the dark. I set him down on the bed. I went to find the light switch but I suddenly froze in place hearing Sephiroth's voice.

"7 seconds until the end." But as I turned on the light he was still knocked out cold. I had noticed I had damaged his shirt, from slashing him across the chest, and giving him a bad wound.  I was such a horrible person to do this to him, I think I need to watch my own anger from here on out. I grabbed a few things to clean up his wound. It was a bit difficult to change him out from the torn shirt, I wasn't sure how to do it but I did it. The cut was pretty bad, it extended from his collar bone to close where his hip was, but in a diagonal way. The cut wasn't too deep where he would need stitches. For some reason my heart hurt, my stomach churned, and I felt like crying. I started with cleaning up the wound with a soft cloth and some warm water. It was so hard not to blush, from feeling his muscles ripple under my palms. His body was truly sculpted to the perfect way. 

Once I was done patching him up, I put away the supplies. I put him under the blankets, and I couldn't help but have tears running down my cheeks. My lip moved a bit and I felt like beating myself up for doing this. I gave him a small soft kiss on his forehead. Hoping he would wake up soon. 

3 months had past and he was still sleeping. I had to get Cloud, Amery, Vincent, and Hayley to deliver some things. Cloud went though all the trouble to get me some medical supplies that was not aloud to be giving to the public. Amery and the Remnants got me some of SOLDIERS finest healing medicine. Meanwhile Hayley and Vincent, would get me some clothing and food and water for the home. All of them would sometimes drop for a visit. I cried. I cried every day, saying it was my fault. It was my fault for doing this to him. I never left his side. I prayed to what ever god there was out there to let him at least move a finger or a toe to say that he can hear me.

"So Zack and Angeal dropped by to see how you were doing." I started talking to Sephiroth, while he slept in peace.

"Zack was so happy that Angeal took him to a Chocobo farm.... You should have seen the look on his face, he even brought back a few rare Chocobo feathers for you to see...." Of course no answer. But I was glad I wasn't alone. I think I might be developing feelings for him. But I tried remembering what that line was in my head meant. 7 seconds until the end. But suddenly I had a spark of an idea. I know who said that to me once! It was Shinra! I remembered the time when we would have a test to get into SOLDIER and I had to fight Tseng. This was considered a little fight night round, in front of the president. I fought pretty well until I got kicked in the face with a very fine boot, of Tseng. I fell on my back that day and I was so close to seeing stars.

"7 seconds until the end..."  That's all I heard until I blacked out. But luckily my fight was impressive enough for me to get a one way ticket into SOLDIER.

"Please wake up....Sephiroth.....please...... wake up..." I whispered. No answer. I wasn't going to give up my hope yet. Ring! 

Ring!

Ring!

Ring!

I quickly patted down my pockets to find the flip-phone that Cloud had got me. 

"Hey Cloud-" I was suddenly interrupted by him.

"Breanne, listen to me carefully." He sound panicked.

"What, what happened?!" I asked.

"I have been ease dropping on Shinra and the other officials, and they are planning something, something bad. From what I heard they are trying to track you down.... They are deploying troops to come looks for you. They won't even let anyone out of the city. They are going door to door and kicking them in just looking for you. Not to mention they had already set your home on fire...." I couldn't believe all of this, Rufus and I broke up and now he is still looking for me.

"What did they say? What did Rufus say?" I asked, slightly panicked.

"He wants to turn you into a monster, just like how he manipulated Sephiroth." Cloud replied from the other side of the phone.

"Only so far I found a way out, in secret. Breanne I need you to get as far away as you can from Shinra." But what about Sephiroth???

"But, Cloud what about Sephiroth?" I asked.

"Wait. Sephiroth is dead....How is he with you?" Cloud asked, kinda tensing up a bit, while he gripped his phone.

"He has been sleeping for 3 months Cloud! I can't just leave him here. I am forever in his dept for stabbing him and nearly killing him." Suddenly on the other end of the phone went silent.

A small sigh escaped his throat. "So your saying.....You tried to kill Sephiroth....First class, War-Hero, Sephiroth?" His voice was calm and soothing.

"Yes. It's also a long story." I looked over to Sephiroth's sleeping form.

"Okay. Breanne, take care now. I will be driving them away from the mansion if they even come close to it." I couldn't help but smile, I was happy to have such kind friends.

"Thanks, Cloud." I said very close to tearing up.

"No problem, Breanne, just make sure to take care of the General." I suddenly smiled.

"I will." From there I hung up the phone. I then walked over to Sephiroth and gave him a kiss on the forehead. I headed over to the door to go to my room, and to call it in a day. I looked back one last time to his sleeping form before I closed the door.

I went to my room and changed into some shorts and a tee-shirt, they were the nice kinds of clothing. Thanks to Hayley. I hopped in my bed and went under the covers. I tried getting some sleep but it was hard, I have such bad dreams about Aerith dieing, that it makes me never want to sleep. I have never had a really good sleep in a long time. I closed my eyes waiting for darkness to take me, and for the morning sun to come in about 9 hours.

******

I woke up seeing the room was pitch black. Some how it had a weird, spooky atmosphere to it. I hugged a pillow real close and closed my eyes. I waited to fall asleep. I waited. I feel like I have waited far enough. But suddenly I heard something. 

But suddenly I heard it again. I tuned in listening for a bit and my heart stopped.

It was a chuckle.

"Do you know how long you have been tossing and turning?" I suddenly sprang up and turned my head each way. But as I looked closer and my eyes were beginning to adjust. I saw him. I saw the mako that glowed bright in his eyes.

"Sephiroth?" I stuttered.

"Yes it's me, my dear...."
