Chapter 2: The Night of the red moon
Lightning, unwavered by the reply, swung her hip to the side with arms on her hips. She looked at this " so-called Eclair " girl in front of her. Her face turned back into the calm fierce look that she usually had. Lightning walked up towards her and looked her straight into her icy blue eyes.
" You said you are me? Then answer this, who am I then?" said lightning in a bold voice.
Eclair also looked into Lightning's icy eyes, but turned away embarrassed.
" Li-Like I said. I am you, and you are me. We are the opposites of eachother." replied Eclair.
" Really?" said Lightning, " then why are you here then? In this cold dark heart of mine?"
Lightning began walking around Eclair looking closely at her structure. Her right hand holding onto her chin and head tilted onto the left side. Eclair's eyes followed her motions and gave an sinister smirk towards Lightning.
" You asked why I am here right? Why should I tell you? You know exactly why I am here in this cold place in the first place." said Eclair with a dark quiet voice.
Lightning stopped walking around her, back into her same place and looked back at Eclair. Lightning spotted Eclair's smirk and smirks back.
" If i did know why you were here I wouldn't have asked. Now tell me, why are you here?" demanded Lightning.
" It seems like you really did lose your memory huh? It's okay, I'll tell you why I'm here, but first I'll tell you how i got here." Eclair took a few steps back and suddenly a white screen appears behind her. Lightning looks at the screen with the same expression. " Remember, your real name Lightning?" A picture of Lightning during her childhood appeared on the white screen behind Eclair.
" Where did that come from?" thought Lightning.
" This was you, or me, when we were young remember? Aren't we cute?"
" What does this picture have to do anything about how you got here?"
" This was the beginning of how I got here. Remember where you were on the night of the red moon?"
Another picture pops up with Lightning at the age of fourteen wearing a silver evening gown at a party. In the picture was Serah, a lady with silver hair and icy blue eyes, and a man with pink hair and dark green eyes standing next to eachother. Lightning looks closely and sees a red colored moon through one of the windows in the picture. She then looks back a Eclair.
" How did you get this picture?" asked Lightning.
" This picture was the one you burned remember?" said Eclair ignoring her question. " This was the night that cause me to be in here."
" Why? How?"
" You don't even remember the night our parents died? What kind of daughter are you Lightning?"
" What? My parents didn't die on this day."
" You probably threw away that memory in your heart, just like how you threw me away in your heart."
" What?"
Now a different picture pops up and there you see Lightning still in her silver gown but with red stains all over with Serah crouching over two bodies. Lightning suddenly feels a quick rush of pain in her chest but then it fades away. She looks back at Eclair with an uncertain look in her eyes. Eclair just looks back at the screen. Lightning looks closely into Eclair's eyes and see tears beginning to drop. Lightning just looks away.
" This night, the night of the red moon," Eclair slowly turn her face towards Lightning. Lightnings looks back with the same uncertain look. " Was the night our parents died."
