The way it should be - FF7

Just because Weiila said that I should.

The way it should be.

Cara was a quiet girl. Even though she had everything a girl could want, she always felt like something was missing, or like she didn’t belong anywhere.

She came home late from school on that fateful day. The reason was that she had gotten detention after getting into a fight with the most popular girl in her class. Her name was Tiffany and she had mocked Cara for the sketches she was working on during lunch, and had eventually stolen her sketchbook. Now, Cara wasn’t really proud over her sketches (even though they were great), but she didn’t want that slut to start spreading them over the entire school as she threatened to do. So she had ended up punching Tiffany straight on the nose.

Why does she always keep bugging me? Why does she hate me?

The reasons for this was very simple, even though Cara had never realized it; Tiffany was jealous. Nearly every girl in her school was. I could be because of her sparkling violet eyes or her strawberry blonde hair that reached below her waist. Or it could be because of her petite figure or her beautiful singing voice. But Cara could never think like that, she thought of herself as ordinary at best.

When she came home she immediately locked herself in her room and slumped down on the bed. She stared at the painting that hung over her bed. She had made it herself and it portrayed her all-time favourite character: Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7. She had felt sorry for him when she had played that game, thinking that he wasn’t a bad guy at all. She imagined that they felt the same, no place to belong. Of course, she knew that he was a fictional character, but she still felt like she knew him.

I want to meet you.

//Then come.//

What?

//Help me.//

Who are you?

//Help me.//

She thought that she was going crazy as the voice echoed through her head. The voice that seemed to call her. Suddenly the world started to face away, leaving her in complete darkness.

“What’s happening? Where am I? Hello, is anyone there?!” she called.

Far away in the distance she could see a small light so she ran towards it. Soon she could make out its source. She had entered a large cave, filled with glimmering and shining stones.

Is that materia?

In the middle of the cave a man was kneeling, using his long sword as support. He was bare-chested and blood poured from many gashes on him lean body. His long, silver hair pooled around him, glowing in the light from the materia.

Sephiroth?!

He looked up, as if she had spoken out loud, and his glowing emerald eyes focused on her and he smiled a weak smile.

“My love… You came…” he said with his dark, rich voice before loosing his strings and fell, just in time for Cara to rush over and catch him.


(A/N

Gaah, I can’t do this anymore! I feel dirty by writing this Sue and badfic. How can I ever redeem myself?

…oh wait, I know…)


Cara held Sephiroth tight and tucked some of his silver hair that had fallen in his face behind his ears.

“I don’t know how I ended up here,” she whispered. “but it’s okay. I’ll take care of you.”

She bend down to plant a kiss on his pale lips but stopped as his eyes shot open again. She felt paralysed under his cold glare.

“I can not believe you fell for that.” He said and pushed her aside before standing up. “Did you really think I needed your help? That I love you?”

“But… Sephy…”

“Sephy?!”

Her head snapped back as he slapped her.

“Did you think I was a good guy? Well little girl, I can tell you that I am not. I know very well what I have done and I don’t regret it at all. The only thing that upsets me right now is that that damned blond hedgehog managed to beat me, and little idiotic girls like you who think that they can save me. “

Cara quivered. This was not as she had imagined it to be.

“Do you know what I do to little girls like you, hmm? Well, take a look around.” He growled and swept his arm over the cave.

When she looked around she saw that the cave had changed. Mixed with the orbs of materia, dozens and dozens of bones laid scattered. Her fear rose when she hears a sound of metal against stone. Sephiroth had pulled his sword out of the cave floor. He grinned.

“You guessed right. I kill them.”

A split second later the masamune had imbedded itself in her chest.

“But… this isn’t how it was supposed to be.” She choked and coughed up blood.

In a swift motion Sephiroth pulled the sword out again.

“I though I made it clear. I’m the bad guy.”

The last thing Cara ever saw was the masamune cutting the air on its way to her neck.

Wow,poor Cara.

Good fic,and what a sad ending.

This story makes me want to laugh, cry, and vomit all at the same time. :mwahaha:

So I guess I’ve succeeded then. grins

Filthy, I love you. Make love to me, now.

Err… I think my boyfriend would be pissed if I did that. ^_^;

This is the kind of stuff that I love. X-D Top marks!

Not entirely what I expected, but then again I don’t know what I truly expected, from a piece of Filthy writing.

Note that she means she’d LOVE to, but hery boyfriend would not be happy.

Nice, serves people right for trying to find the best in every person and situation!

is guilty of that, and the salvation theme, but doesn’t save by love

I think you’re kinda missing the point. The theme (and the way Cara is) is incredibly common, and most readers consider it VERY annoying.

And the point is that Sephiroth ISN’T a nice guy, and isn’t likely to bother with some little girl (all said, his true love was pretty much Jenova).

Almost made me pity her, but then reminded of why it was written…

cheers for Filthy I love when people write stuff like this! 10/10! :get it?:

is reminded of a recent submission that involved Sephiroth having sex with Jenovatwitch

sedates Weiila

Calm down…go to your haaapy place…

Sephy and Jenova? shudders

I think you’re kinda missing the point. The theme (and the way Cara is) is incredibly common, and most readers consider it VERY annoying.

I guess your right,but the fic made me pity her.

Uhm what part of “No Porn” isn’t understandable?

Oh, it wasn’t explicit. The author even apologized in an author’s note about all the the trauma she had caused the readers, so she was a good sport about it. 'course, it still has to be censored to get here.

Umm, NO fanfic EVER has to be a specific way; certainly NOT just to please the public. Fanfics are supposed to fulfill the writer’s desires. You could write a GREAT story and have a bunch of jerks jeer at it, OR, you could write something terrible and some people might like it anyway. You can never know, not when ANYBODY IN THE WORLD, from nice guys to losers, can see it.

Now, if you are going to post them in the Net, the least you can do is make sure that it makes sense and that it contains as few errors as possible. If people give you sensible advice, you should listen to it. And of course, you should try to keep what the general audience that posts where you do thinks… but in the end, write what pleases YOU. Even if it is a “Mary Sue” or “Salvation” story. After all, guys, maybe a Power Fantasy is just what the writer needs to do to feel better. Who are we to judge? If you see something you don’t like, just don’t read it. Other people MIGHT enjoy it, you know.

Exception: If you’re a PROFESSIONAL writer- that is, it’s your JOB- then certainly you must please the people who are PAYING for your stuff.

As for THIS story? Well, “Filthy”, I don’t like tragic endings, as most people here know. But, I know you were trying to make a point. And it IS written well, which is what matters. Congratulations.

:cool:

Ya know, he has a point.

Wil, I see your point, but trust me when I say that there are things out there that should not be written nor posted anywhere where a public eye will find it. I rather, however not post about things I’ve seen on GodAwful fanfiction here, since children may see it. I’ll PM you about it instead.

EDIT: Well, I was. Clean out yer inbox, man! :slight_smile:
