A/N: hey guys, this is Lulu (aka spirachan80). I know I only ever posted two chapters, but I'm rewriting Finding Aeons. The story and plot will be the same—for the most part—it will just be less rushed and more thought out. I've added some(more) au-ish elements… basically how I interpreted some information and I've also made up my own history thing about the fayth ^^ . (I leave most of the fayth in final fantasy alone though) here's a moment from when Reina was a kid to satisfy you until next weekend~
I woke up in the middle of the night. For a moment I was confused about the time—and why I was up—but then I heard a noise; A lovely soprano voice that was painfully familiar. I snuck past the other rooms, down the stairs and into the kitchen. I didn't need to turn on the lights because from the kitchen window, over the kitchen sink, one shined brightly already.. From the window came a noise, like someone with long fingernails was lightly drumming the glass. Any normal eight year old would have ran for a trusted adult by the time they saw the bright light, but to me they felt so achingly familiar I grabbed a chair and opened the window. At once the 'light' rushed in, leaving me shivering as it passed through me. Then came another batch of light right after that one that left me warm and toasty. I scrambled down the from the chair and turned around to face the hot and cold lights. They had taken clear shiny forms before me, one large enough to have to crouch a bit with a dog-like figure, and the other with a womans curves, also tall. Both figures reached down to touch my shoulders, one half of me freezing, the other toasty warm.
" find us…release us…"
"we are waiting…"
"...Momma? Daddy?" My childlike voice was soft and almost unheard, but the two figure both nodded vigourously.
"promise you'll follow him…"
"Okay, I promise, but who am I following?" Childishly giving in to their words without the slightest protest, without even knowing what they meant, or even questioning their forms.
"our time wanes…." And with that the two figures burst into light again, and vanished through the window. I scrambled after them, watching them disappear into the shadows.
"Goodbye…" I mumbled.
"Rei Rei, what chu doin' up? Hunny bunnies should be in bed by now," I turned my gray eyes to face a tall black woman tying her robe in place. She leaned over me to close the window and scooped me up into her arms.
"Yes Mother." I said, resting my head on her shoulder. My long curls fell against my mothers braids. Our skins were in stark contrast of each other, mine as pale as the moon, hers the color of milk chocolate.
"You sure you're eight years old? You're light as a feather," She said. I laughed as I always did when she asked that. As she took me out of the kitchen, my eyes were glued to the window, watching for more of those beloved lights…
Author's Note: Okay, so I'm rewriting this because I can, and it sounded WAY too rushed before xD This should satisfy you guys for now, I'm currently working on the next two chapters. Tell me what you think/thought so far! ^_^
