Well, here's chapter 2! ^^ Enjoy!
I bounce slightly on the free bed and let my hair fall free. It has been so long since I was able to let my hair fall freely! It feels great!
Genesis entered and was looking at me the whole time. I felt very awkward and it was embarrassing to have a guy starting at me.
"Hello~? Genesis? Please stop starting at me!"
"Sorry Ace."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing! But you really look like a female. Are you one?"
I was caught off guard by the question. It took me minutes to realize that I was being asked. I started asking myself the same question. Am I Claire or Ace? Am I known as Claire or Ace? Am I a female or male? Of course, I knew the answer myself.
The snapping of fingers brought me back to reality.
"Ace, answer my question."
I kept mum. How the heck am I suppose to answer the question.
"Never mind forget!"
Suddenly, his phone rang.
"Hello?"
I knew it was director Lazard. Who else would call him? By his expression, I knew it was important and by knowing Lazard, he'll never let a rookie like me go on an important mission. I sighed and fell back down onto my bed.
"Get up Ace!"
"Why?"
"We got a mission."
I whined for just a second before getting up of bed. I styled my hair in a ponytail instead of my usual hairstyle.
When we arrived at Lazard's office, I yawned. Genesis stomp on my toes to make me close my mouth. I cringed for a second and growled at him. He smirked and Lazard started the briefing for the mission.
Blah, blah, blah…
When we arrived, I realized we were at Cocoon. I started panicking but tried my best to look calm.
As I wasn't listening at all what Lazard was saying so I asked Genesis a dumb question. Just wishing and hoping that Serah isn't here.
"What's the mission again?"
"To find a military soldier called Lightning."
After he said that, I froze. Lightning? That was me! But I let the military years ago!
I looked around Cocoon. Nothing has changed much except that normal people and l'Cie are living together in harmony. If only it had been like this years ago…
Genesis had already started asking around. I groaned. Most of the people gave the same answer. It was either "I have never heard about Lightning before!" or "Light left the military years ago!"
I was tailing Genesis from place to place and was turning ever now and then to make sure Serah wasn't anywhere near. People may not recognize me but Serah will no matter how I look like.
"Excuse me but do you know who Lightning is?" Genesis asked again.
I was starting at his shoes and suddenly froze at his voice. I gulped. It was Snow!
"Yeah, I know her. In fact, she's my sister-in-law."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, I was tackled. That was the last thing I remembered before I blackout.
When I came to it, the first thing I saw was Serah's face. I immediately silenced her with the look in my eyes.
"That's good! So can you lead me to her?" Genesis asked.
"To tell you the truth, she's the one behind you."
Snow pointed to me and Genesis turned. I gulped.
Sorry it's so short! Out of ideas for now... Pls tell me what you want Light to do in the next chapter! ^^"
Pls drop me a review! *puppy eyes*
Bye for now!
