Here's chapter 2! This chapter is basically about their meeting, so nothing exciting. You can probably guess what this story is going to be about now, huh?
Disclaimer goes here.
*NEWSFLASH*
"Welcome to Cocoonews. We have just received reports that 3 of the former L'Cie have gone missing in Bodhum, One of which is governor Esthiem's son. He has ordered a full scale search around Cocoon. If you happen to see any of the former L'Cie, please contact the government immediately."
Lightning opened her eyes to find herself staring into a pair of worried green eyes. She jumped back immediately and tackled the figure standing before her. She pinned the figure to the brick wall and held her Blazefire Saber up to her throat.
Claire was dazed. When she finally regained her senses she found herself at the mercy of Lightning. Even though her blade was choking her, she managed to squeak out a sentence.
"W-Wait! I'm not an e-enemy!"
Lightning raised her eyebrows suspiciously. "If you're not an enemy, then how do you know about us, hmm?"
"If you let me go I'll show you!" Claire managed to say.
Lightning hesitated.
Claire's POV
"Hey, come on, sis. Give her some slack."
I nearly gagged at my surprise. Behind Lightning, two figures emerged from the alleyway. Lightning sheathed her gunblade, and I dropped to the floor, breathless.
"I'm not your sister."
"Hey, what's your name?" Snow gestured to me.
"Cla-"
I stopped and glanced at Lightning. She seemed relatively calm, so I continued.
"Claire Heatherly."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lightning's eyes widen in surprise for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said,
"So? What were you going to show us?"
I stood up and started to walk out of the alleyway. Mentioning for Lightning, Snow and Hope to follow, I quickly rushed back into my house. I unlocked the door and waved my hand to tell them to come. Snow and Hope ran over quickly, but Lightning lingered behind, doubtful.
"Come on! Before anybody else sees you!"
"Why would that be a problem?" Hope asked.
"Because if anyone sees even a glimpse of you guys, you will be chased by a group of fans who will refuse to let you go." I answered. Lightning looked puzzled, but went inside the house anyway.
I ran over to my PS3, flicked it on, and inserted the Final Fantasy XIII disk.
"Sit on the sofa over there." I pointed to the 3 seater sofa at the back of the living room.
I sat down on the sofa closest to Hope and watched as the Square Enix Logo appeared on the TV screen.
Here I go…
