------The dairy of a Dark Prince----

Yeah, I decided to put this into Noctis's POV! It sounds like fun! I had an idea when I was reading someone else's story! I'm going to be a challenge since he's a guy and I'm a teen girl. Well, SCREW THE THOUGHTS AND LET'S GET TO IT!!!

'Listening....hearing....sounds....' I was there when the bell struck 12, the magically number. I closed my eyes as I heard the bells ring again. The sound was bearable at times, but the rings were just signal of a never ending cycle of time.

I looked up and saw whiteness of my ceiling. Here I am, in my own room. The quietness silencing my thoughts and feelings for the time being. I closed my eyes and tried to salvage the time I had left to sleep, but it was useless. I heaved a sigh and turned over.

The sheets were cold, as if I hadn't moved in hours. I blinked away the dryness in my eyes and closed them. Again, useless. I frowned and took off the sheets on top of me and got off my bed. Hard and cold the stone floor was. My feet almost going numb against the low temperature.

I walked towards the window and looked outside. It was dark as usual and lights brightened up the streets as people came and walked casually on the sidewalk. I looked up at the dark sky and felt a small pang in my body. I shook my head away from the feeling and sat on my bed, wondering if I could sleep soon.

I sighed and looked in the mirror in front of me: dark blue hair, unusual in my family, dark blue eyes, as deep as the sea; at least that's what I hear from the noble women at the balls I was forced to attend. My skin was pale, since I rarely ever go outside because of my duties as a prince and a ruler.

Then my mind went back from today. I had overheard one of the Council Men talking about....about what? They were talking so quietly that I couldn't hear. 'Noble women....a princess....ever-lasting bond....heirs....' I blinked at the words.

I shook my head and laid back down on my bed. It was soft and inviting. I felt tired and moved around to find a good spot to sleep in. I wrapped the sheets around me half-way and closed my eyes again for the same sleepiness that I had encountered a few hours before.

Silence....tired....blackness....fierce eyes glaring at me. I opened my eyes and got up. Hearing nothing and sensing nothing at all, I frowned. I scanned my room again expecting intruders and enemies. 'That was all in your head. Nothing's inside here. You just thought it up.'

Agreeing to my better consciousness, I closed my eyes cautiously. My mind was now full of pictures, new and old: friends and family; enemies and allies. These kept forming under my eyes as they flashed again and again into my head.

Then my mind went to her picture: light, red hair; cold, light blue eyes, that commanding aura, her slightly curved ears. 'Wait. what?' I woke up with in surprise. 'Why was I thinking about Lightning? Maybe it's all of the stress. Yes, that's it.' Comfortable with this last thought, I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

I am Noctis Lucis Caleum and I am a Prince.

I know, it's too short. I'll give you more later, okay? These are the thoughts, feelings and emotions of a Prince, the Protector of the Crystals. The Crystals who merged two worlds together: Pulse and Coccoon and his world: a dark, damp kingdom isolated and alone.

Please review and tell me what you think my fellow fanfics!
