Introduction : Potion
Lieutenant Lightning Farron felt like if she was the most sick woman of the world. How can she have feelings for a boy seven years younger than her ? She can't, it's not right. But nothing can change what she feel. If at first he was like a disciple to her, things have changed after Palumpolum. This day she had let him take a place in her heart. It was nothing wrong with that, except that now he had take all of her heart. The best solution was to live away from each others. And she was very glad when they have found out that Hope's father was still alive. Naturally, Hope had returned to live with his own father, which had made Light sighed in relief. But not for too long. Because, Mr Estheim, mostly to please his son and built a new relationship as father/son with him, had bought a house only a few step from Light's one. Now she still can see him every morning. And the more she saw him, the more she wished to run to him and kiss him like he was never kissed before.
Her musing were cut by the scream of a woman. Immediately, Light morphed into her soldier mode and run to where the scream come from. There, she found an old woman already on the floor with a sort of punk who beat her. It looked like if the man had tried to stole the woman purse, but she don't have let him do it. And now, he was very angry with her. Even the arrival of Light don't stopped the man's beating. Light run to the help of the woman. She easily dodged the man's punch and give him one of her own. Without much more sound that the air leaving his lung, the man felt to the floor, unconscious. Light called for some of her fellow guardian to come and retrieve the mad man. After that, she turned herself to the woman and helped her to stand up.
" Are you alright, Ma'am ?" She asked very concerned.
" Thank you, my child. Without you I don't believe that I would have survive this. If there is anything I can do, please ask."
" No. Thank you Ma'am. I just have done my job. You don't have to thank me." Said an very uncomfortable Light under the stare of the strange woman.
The woman kept silence for a very long time, and as much as Light wanted to leave, she found that she can't do this. Not only she is needed to stay until the man was taking care of. But also the woman stare seems to act to her like a snake to a bird. She is totally under the power of the woman and she acknowledged it without being able to do something about it. It's like if the woman is reading her mind, and Light don't liked the feeling. Her thought are hers, no one have the right to share them. Finally, the woman lift her gaze and Light can breath easier.
" I have something for you. You don't have to use it now, but when the pain would become too hard, then use it."
" The pain ?" Asked a puzzled Light. " Which pain ?"
" You will know. You are not ready yet. But don't forget that if it would give you your most precious wish, there is always a price to pay. You will chose what is the best for you, but you also will lost something precious too."
" You don't made any sense !" Said an angry Light.
" Maybe, maybe not. Who knows ? Take this for my thank you. Good day lieutenant Farron."
The woman quickly existed the crime scene just after she left some sort of potion in a strange bottle in Light's hand. A first, Light wanted to crush the bottle on the floor, but she found herself unable to do so. So, she take it in her pocket and looked at her fellow guards who had finally arrived. The man was take in the prison and Light continued her guard lost in her mind like if nothing had happened.
When she returned home, after her work, Light remembered of the bottle. She take it of and put it away on the top of her closet. For long months she forget totally that she still have it here. Until this fateful night who had changed her life forever.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
As much as she had tried to forget her feelings for Hope, Light had not succeed at all. She had even date some other men, but the only result she had was to give her an headache, and hurting Hope's a lot. Each time he saw her with an other man, he become more and more downcast. Like if she broke his heart each time. And in return it broke her heart too. So, she had give up to find someone for now and she just avoided Hope at all cost. She is not sure of herself to spend an evening with him in the same room without trying something to him. He is just fourteen, well almost fifteen now, but it's not the question. He deserved to find someone closer to his age. And even if she know that it will break her heart even more, she just wished for his happiness. After all, hers matters so little, that it's not really important if she is hurt as long as he won't be.
This evening, Light had go out with some fellow guardian. One of them had found some pulse's plant from which he had mad a new spirit. And today it was her turn to taste it. At first she was hesitant, but again she would have spend her night alone. Snow and Serah have married as soon as some priest was able to perform the ceremony, and they have moved together. Light is happy for her sister but more than often she found herself despising to be always alone. She can't never have been alone during their time as L'cie. And as much as it had unnerved her at this time, now she found even harder to become her old self again. She had lost almost of her walls during this time, and she is too weak now to build them again. She don't wanted to live alone, she needed someone by her side to share everything, but the only one who seems to fit is way too much young for her. Not only that, but it was also very illegal, and Light was the last person who will do something illegal. She had to wait four years, four damn long years before she can try anything. She needed to drink, a lot, and the spirit in indeed very good.
When she returned home, Light was very drunk. She thought for a second to go to Hope's house and told him about her feeling. But even as drunk as she is, there still is something on her mind who prevented her for doing such mistake. So, she instead returned home and fall onto the couch, fast asleep. Near by dawn she was waking up by a feeling of being thirsty. She looked around but can't find anything. She became frustrated when her eyes spotted some bottle in her closet. She don't remembered what is in the bottle, but she would have put it away if it was not eligible. She drank the potion without a second thought, still half drunk from yesterday.
As soon as she had drank it, Light' head became to felt dizzy. Something is wrong, she can tell, and she is in no state to take care of herself. Fortunately, Serah and Snow house is not far away. Her sister can help her, she is sure of it. So, she left her house without thinking to lock the door and go as fast as she can to her sister. Now, all of her body burned like if someone had set her in fire. She can't help but let a whimper escape her. Any one else would be screaming by now, but not her, she is too proud for that. It was with a great relief that she saw Serah's front door. The pain had become unbearable and she just can ring serah's bell before she passed out.
XXXXXXXX
Serah and Snow were wake up by someone ringing at their door. Snow grumble in his sleep but he can't found any courage of leaving his bed so soon in the morning. So, it was Serah who come to the front door to see who is mad to ring at such an hour. But she would never have expected what is waiting in her porch. There was a sleeping baby. A very beautiful sleeping baby. Serah can't help herself but let her heart go to the baby. Like her the baby had strawberry blond hair, at last the few one she had on her head. She don't looked older than one month old but she is already breathtaking. Serah searched for some letter but she can't found anything. The only thing was the clothes the baby is sleeping in and anybody can have buy these clothes, they were so plain. Serah looked on the street but there is no sign of anyone else. She take the still sleeping baby in her arm and go to her house with her.
When she finally woke up, Light found herself in Serah's house. She felt a great relief at this. She tried to call her sister but she found herself unable to form a word. Only strange sound come from her mouth which worried her a lot. She can heard Serah and Snow talking in the background and she wanted to go to them, but she was also unable to lift her own body.
" We can't keep her, Serah." Said Snow. " She surely had some parent out. We can't stole her from them."
" But dear. She was alone. No one was here, I swear. Can you bare the thought of letting her in an orphanage when we can provide her for everything she wanted. If her parents return then we will give her back, but until then she can be ours. Please Snow."
Snow can't bare to see his wife crying. She is right, in a way. He too don't wanted the child to grow like he had. Serah and him can be her parents for the time being. And, like Serah had say, they still can let her go with her real parents if they show again.
" Alright !" He said. " But she need a name. I don't see myself screaming BABY all the time. And we can say to the neightbore that she was the daughter of one of my good friend and we take care of her until he return. You agree, Serah ?"
"Thank you so much Snow. I swear you will not regret it."
" Yeah, yeah." Was all that Snow can answered after the hot kiss his wife just give to him.
Snow and Serah come to the room where the baby is no longer sleeping. Snow took the baby in his arm and smiled at her.
" We can call her Belle. Witch means beauty. I think this name would suit her well. What do you think Serah ?"
" I agree. Belle it is. Hello Belle. For now I will be your mommy, and meet your daddy."
Light is frightened. Since when can Snow take her with one arm. And why do they chose a new name for her. Serah would be her mommy and Snow her daddy ? It's a nightmare ! Yes, that's what it is. She had drank too much yesterday and now she is just dreaming. She needed to wake up and soon !
But then her eyes fall into to mirror in the hall. Snow had a small baby in his arm. A small baby who looked with her bright blue eyes at her reflexion in the mirror. This is not possible ! WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN TO HER !
To be continued.
