Nothing except for the plot belongs to me.
Final Fantasy XIII characters belong to Square Enix.
Thanks and I hope you all enjoy this.
I was playing Final Fantasy XIII when this idea just popped into my head so I just had to get it out and posted today.
This is written in Noel POV.
I hope that's okay.
I kind of wanted a little bit of one-sided Noel/Serah in here.
While reading this, please just try to imagine the song "I'll Follow You" by Death Cab for Cutie.
That was the song I was imagining that would go really good with this.
I actually had the lyrics for it in here, but learned after I had posted it, that it was against the rules to have any kind of songfic with lyrics from the years after 1923.
Summary: When Snow fades in front of her face, Sarah tries to set things right.
But plans never do turn out the way we want them to, right?
Told from Noels Point of View.
I'll Follow You Song-fic
He faded.
He tried to tell her no.
To stop, but she just wouldn't listen
He was essentially dead.
I tried to tell her that, but she wouldn't, no couldn't understand.
She told me she had to find him.
She loved him so much, she couldn't see that what we were trying to accomplish was what would help to get him back.
She was blinded to what reality was.
She was just like him.
Just as self- sacrificial as he was, but she didn't know a lot of things.
She didn't know how much I loved her.
She didn't know how much it hurt me to see her act that way and blindly follow after him like she did.
I wish she would have told me when she got her first vision.
I could have helped her.
"She didn't want to be a burden on me." She said.
Like I would see her as a burden…
I was with her through everything.
When she needed to cry, I was her shoulder.
When she needed someone to patch her up after a nasty battle, I was there with a smile.
When the visions started to get worse, and her body weaker, I tried to help her.
She wouldn't let me.
I was with her throughout everything that happened.
Battles, death and everything else.
I was with her.
I prayed to every god there was to let her live.
To let her continue on her journey.
But none answered and she started to fade…
I stayed with her through the pain of that as well.
When you fade, it's not painless.
She screamed and begged me to help her, but there was nothing I could do.
She understood.
And in the end, she wasn't screaming anymore.
She was talking to me.
Everything we had seen and done…
And she… smiled.
I tried to smile back at her, but it was so… hard.
After being with her for so long, it would be just me again, and I'd be alone.
Maybe Etro had decided that this was the way it was to be.
That this was what was to happen all along.
Was this fate forged in stone all along?
I can't really say for sure, but what I can say is, when she went, where ever she went, she was happy.
She had no more pain and maybe, just maybe, she got to be with Snow and Lightening again.
Whatever the future, there is only one history.
And in my history, this was meant to happen.
That is what I know for sure.
I hope you all liked this.
Sorry if you think it was bad, but I tried my best.

Again, please imagine "I'll Follow You" by Death Cab for Cutie while you read this.
