Hey!!! This is my first Fanfic! Even though some people might not read it, I was like so what! I want to write a Final Fantasy XIII! With another character! Maybe some Hope and OC action ;) okay maybe a lot of Hope and OC action! But I cant help myself! I thought about my OC and was like "oh! They are so cute together!" haha!
Anyways here I go! :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy, But…I wish I did..*cries but then smiles* but I do own my OC Starla
P.S. Oh! Also its in her point of view and it will change from hers to regular and- oh! just read! :P
My head was down staring at the floor. As I was sitting in criss cross position. I didn't know what to look at. Everything was being blown up and destroyed. What was I suppose to look at? Was I suppose to look at everyone's frightened faces? Was I suppose to look at the children crying as their mother's kept telling them:
"everything is fine and everyone was going to be okay" when everything wasn't?
No.
Those children were lucky they had a shoulder to cry on because I didn't.
I want someone to whisper to me telling me everything is going to be okay. But unfortunately I don't have that. Suddenly, I felt something touch my shoulder. I flinched and looked over my shoulder to see a young beautiful girl smiling at me. Her orange hair was in two pig tails and her eyes were emerald green. She looked 17 for her age but she was probably older. She smiled.
"Hey, turn that frown upside down!" She said. She pulled the hood of my robe down and started moving my mouth around and turning it into a smile. I looked at her she had a pretty smile. A small smile appeared on my face.
"Yay! You smiled! You know you have a beautiful smile! Actually your just plain beautiful!" she squeaked. I had my chocolate brown wavy hair up high in a side pony tail, that was above 2 inches above my ear. My hair traveled down my shoulder and ended at my elbow. A light blue ribbon was holding up my ponytail. My eyes were dark green and my skin tone was a little tan but not that much. (Vanille skin tone). My smile faded as I put my hood back up turning back to the floor. She frowned and patted my back.
"where are your parents?" She asked me. I froze. The world started going slow motion. A tear rolled down my cheek. I could tell she was trying to look at my face. I turned my head trying to avoid looking at her in the face. I didn't like crying in front of people. I didn't even like it when people saw at least one tear roll down my cheeks. I opened my mouth but I was cut off by a voice.
"Hey! How are you guys holding up?!"
Everyone lifted their heads and out of the corner of my eye I could see their faces brighten up with joy.
I lifted my head to see that man.
Snow…
Snow is my hero. He helped me 8 years ago when I was being bullied by a group of kids.
Flashback:
I was pushed to the ground. I stared up at the boy with the red cap.
Billy.
He was holding my favorite stuffed animal that I carried with me all the time. "give me back Mr. Snuggles!" I wined jumping up trying to grab my only friend. But it was no use. Billy was to tall for me.
"Mr. Snuggles!? Haha! What a stupid name! do you snuggle with him every night?! Or do you do more?" Billy said with a smirk on his face. Since I was 6 I didn't really understand what he meant by "more" I mean of course I snuggled with him but what else could I do? Billy's gang laughed as they surrounded me.
"Time for Mr. Snuggles to die" Billy said as she was about to throw the bunny to the ground but he was stopped by a big hand grabbing my friend.
"huh? Who the hell?" Billy turned around to see what stopped him and saw a handsome man in a trench coat. His blonde hair was spiked to his chin but the rest was cut off by his hat. Billy and his gang of friends eyes widened in fear. The man took the bunny and smiled.
"you kids shouldn't pick on a little girl its not right, how would you like it if I picked on you?" the man asked his voice was calm and soothing. Billy and the gang were speechless as the starting retreating back to their homes. The man watched as the kids retreated. He turned towards me and leaned down so his face was leveled with mine. "Here you go" He said as he held out the stuffed animal. "Mr. Snuggles!" I squeaked.
I grabbed the bunny and snuggled it close to me. The man grinned at me. "Mr. Snuggles?" He chuckled . I nodded with a smile on my face. The man smiled and ruffled my hair. "what's your name, kid?" He asked me.
"Starla" I said.
"Well Starla, I'm Snow. Is it okay if I walk you home?" He asked holding his hand out. I looked down at it and smiled. I accepted his hand and my hero's name was Snow.
End of flashback
Since then I have always been hanging around him. Depending on him. Encouraging him. Giving him hope. He was my first real friend. My best friend. My family. My hero.
"Everyone calm down. We wont have you deported to Pluse. We will eliminate every solider we see"
"We want to help too!" A man spoke, Ripping off his robe. Everyone starting demanding that Snow and Team NORA should let them help. Snow looked at the demanding people then at his comrade for a answer but when he was about to speak a explosion cut him off.
BOOM!!!
The explosion came from the tunnel they came through. The soldiers were coming and coming real fast. Snow looked were the explosion came from and back at the frightened people.
"ugh…Alright! Anyone willing to fight, line up here and grab a gun!" Snow yelled making sure everyone could hear him. I smiled to my self. There was my hero. I stood up but I felt a tug from the back of my robe. I turned around and saw the pig tailed girl. She was frowning and she slowly shook her head. My eyes widened but I ignored her, which I regretted and got in line. Unfortunately my hood fell down which revealed my appearance I prayed Snow didn't see me but it seemed my pray wasn't answered as I felt someone grab the back my hood and pull me to them. I was in the embrace of someone. But who? I looked up and saw Snow.
"Why hello Star, what do you think your doing?" He asked me. I frowned. He knew what I was trying to do. So I didn't have to answer for him. He sighed and gave me a bear hug. He lifted me up and spun me around. I could hardly breathe. "Snow… Cant…breathe…" I managed to choke some words out. Snow looked at me then realized what I meant and set me down. He smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"Your staying here with the group, Star" He said with a serious tone. I sighed. Snow frowned and ruffled my hair.
"You can be so stubborn" He said with a smile. I smiled back and let out a little giggle. "Keep smiling" He whispered. He saw a silver haired woman pick up a gun. Snow gave me one last smile and I returned one back. Snow walked over to the silver haired woman. I watched them closely.
"Are you sure?" He asked. The woman nodded.
"Mothers are strong too" She said. I frowned. She was a mother. I walked back over to where I was sitting. The girl looked at me still with a smile on her face. I smiled back. She looked surprised a my action but she smiled wider and patted me on the back.
"Vanille" the pig tailed girl said
"huh?"
"Vanille, that's my name" She said with a smile.
"Vanille?" I muttered. Vanille smiled and nodded.
"Starla" I mumbled
"sorry what did you say?" Vanille asked looking at me with a confused face. I turned towards her.
"my name…It's Starla" I said. Vanille smiled at me again and nodded. "Starla" she repeated. I looked down at the ground.
"That's such a pretty name and it suites you perfectly!" She squeaked. I shot my head back up and looked at her.
"Thanks" I muttered with a side smile.
Snow walked towards us.
"We have one last one" Snow said. I turned around to look at him, he held out the gun towards the silver haired boy, that sat beside me but the boy shook his head furiously. Vanille smiled and took the gun. She pretended to shoot Snow and he played along. They both laughed, as I let out a little giggle. Snow looked down at me and gave me a smile.
"Alright, You guys are safe here, we will take care of the enemies" Snow said as he gave me a small wave and he led his troupe away, and they slowly disappeared.
After they left everyone went back to their business. Vanille and I were quiet at first but she broke the silence with a question and soon Vanille and I started chatting a little. I barley spoke. It was her who just talked the whole time. I was worried about Snow. I know he is strong but there was something apart of me that had this bad feeling. A feeling that that made my heart hurt. I pushed the feeling to the side as much as I can. I tried to listen to Vanille the whole time. She told me some of her stories and I would giggle at some parts. We started traveling with Snow's comrade of team NORA. When we were done traveling I sat back down again by the same people. Vanille and that Silver haired boy. But another explosion came. I stood back up. The ground beneath us was shaking. My body started loosing balance. I fell down landing on my butt. Vanille and the silver haired boy were trying to keep their balance. Vanille pointed down. I looked at her then where she was pointing. My eyes widened in shock. I saw the road snapped in half making people slide to their deaths the screams of horror filling my ears, There was flames everywhere. Leaned forward to try to get a better look, so I could try to find my friend and make sure he's not hurt. I looked closely and saw Snow holding onto the pillar and holding onto the wrist of the silver haired woman I saw earlier. I gasped. A couple of seconds later we saw the silver haired woman fall to her death. "Mom!" The silver haired boy screamed at the top of his lungs. I looked over at him. My eyes filling up with tears. I looked back at the scene.
"Hang on, Snow" I whispered to myself. The silver haired boy and I stared at the scene, our feet glued to the ground. Vanille ran to my side and lifted me up.
"Starla! Look at me!" She squeaked.
I still looked at the scene. Tears in my eyes. My best friend was going to fall to his death too. Vanille grabbed the boy's and my wrist. The boy snatched her hand away. She let go of my wrist and ran over to the boy. Vanille slapped him across the face and put her hands on his shoulders. His eyes full of shock as he looked at her.
"Snap out of it, okay?" She said her voice was calm and gentle. He nodded slowly as Vanille grabbed his and my wrist. She held our wrists firmly in her hands. Vanille ran after the troupe that already fled.
We finally caught up. Everyone ripped their robes off. Vanille ripped hers off. Revealing her outfit that matched with her face perfectly. I took mine off too.
I was wearing a white tank top, a blue jean mini jacket that had the sleeves ripped off, blue jean shorts, black high top converse, black gloves, and a long white scarf wrapped around my neck but still hanging to my hip.
I turned to look at the boy. He had his robe off. He was wearing a yellow, green, white, and blue outfit. I looked at his face, a light blush traveled on my cheeks. I finally saw his face. It was… I couldn't bring myself to words. I don't usually talk to guys after what happened with Billy. The only guy I hung out with was Snow. As matter of a fact that was the only person I hung out with.
"My names Vanille! What's yours?" Vanille asked I turned to her and saw she was talking to the boy.
"Hope" He simply said looking at me and Vanille.
"Hope?" I repeated. He turned to me and nodded. Hope. What a wonderful name. I have never met anyone named Hope. Hope suited him very well though.
"Yours?" He asked me
"huh?" I snapped out of my though and looked at him
"What's your name?" He asked me
"Oh! My name…heh… my name is Starla" I said looking up into his eyes.
I heard some machine noises. I turned to my right to see my hero hovered over a bunch of his comrades. My eyes filled up with tears. I looked at Vanille with a bright smile on my face and some tears rolling down my cheeks. She was smiling too. She gently pushed me towards him. I giggled and ran up to Snow with full speed. I pushed through everyone and gave Snow a big hug.
"I saw what happened! I was worried about you! you scared me!" I said with tears rolling down my cheeks. Snow smiled and put his big hand on the top of my head.
"I'm sorry" Snow said. I nodded in forgiveness. Snow started up his contraption as it floated up in the air. "when I come back with Serah, she will be so happy to see you. She's going to be surprised you still have that ribbon in your hair. So stay out of trouble! " Snow said and with that he gave me a smile and flew off. I smiled. Vanille and Hope walked towards me and the other contraction they had surprised faces. I stood there and tilted my head.
"did I miss something?" I asked.
Vanille shook her head and smiled then pointed at the contraction.
"do you know how to drive this?" She asked us. I shook my head then we both turned to Hope.
"Do you?" Vanille and I asked in union.
Hope was a little startled at first then looked at us.
"uh…sort of" He answered staring at the contraption.
"great!" Vanille said.
"wait, Vanille what are you plan-" I was cut off when Vanille Pushed my back making my fall into the contraption.
"Ow! Vanille what was that-" I was cut off again when Vanille pushed Hope into the contraption too, Hope landed in front of me
"Oof!" Hope grunted. Vanille giggled and sat behind me. Hope groaned and sat up straight.
"That way!" Vanille said pointing at the Fal'Cie ruins. That's where Snow went to find Serah.
Serah.
Serah was my second friend . She is Snow's fiancé. Snow introduced me to her a few days after he rescued me from Billy. Serah was beautiful, nice, caring, and a very gentle person. She was like a sister to me. The ribbon in my hair. That's what she gave to me when I hurt myself. She gave it to me to make me feel better. I miss her and cant wait to see her.
"Okay! Were off to find Snow so you can tell him what you need to. Then we can check out the Fal'Cie!" She squeaked with a smile. I frowned and wrapped my arms around Hopes waist and leaned my head against his back. He flinched and looked over his shoulder with wide eyes and turned back to the stirring wheel. His hands gripped onto it. It seemed like he knew why I didn't respond to Vanille.
"If we go that way…We might become…Fal'Cie" He said quietly but quiet enough so Vanille and I could hear him. He seemed worried. I frowned. He didn't look that nice with a face like that. He gripped the steering navigator tightly. I studied him closely.
"I cant…"
Vanille noticed the same thing as me. Vanille let go of me and wrapped her hands around Hope's. Hope looked at her.
"It will be alright" Vanille softly said. Hope looked at her wide eyed then looked at me. I smiled and gave a thumbs up. I opened my mouth to say something but was cut off by a loud voice.
"Hey! What do you think your doing?!"
It was the Flame headed comrade of Snow. He started running at us. I gasped and wrapped my arms around Hope's waist. Vanille copied my actions but around my waist. I buried my face back in Hope's back. Hope turned to the controls. Hope turned on the contraption and we flew up with a jerk forward. Vanille and I screamed at the top of our lungs as the contraption spun around and flew in different directions. We ran into objects. My hands started shaking with fear. I knew Hope could feel me shaking. He looked at me behind his shoulder for a few seconds then turned back. I could hear him gasp as Vanille and I let out a scream as we hit a giant wire that helped support the floating road. Hope grunted and finally got control of the contraption. We slowly came to a stop, I opened my eyes and saw the man with the flamed hair below us.
"You kids get back here!". Vanille and I just stared at him as Hope turned to look ahead of him and flew forward. I laid my head back down on Hopes back. He just jumped a little then relaxed. Vanille copied my action. Vanille was warm and soft. It was as if she was my blanket and was never there. I was surprised she was so warm for what she was wearing. Vanille and I both new this was going to be a long ride. I had this feeling that something was going to happen. Something bad. Something that would make me regret doing this. Something was going to change our life's forever.
