Chapter 3
Don't you trust me?
Morning came swiftly as the sun rose on the peaceful calm ocean which bordered beach of the City which she was born in, her hair tied to the side and curled elegantly over her shoulder. She wore a short tartan pink skirt and a white chiffon shirt, her beautiful silvery blue eyes sparkled as they looked out at the water. Her hair soft pink hair had a slight orange tinge in it as the sun rose. She stood on the dock, her hands went to her heart with a soft sigh. Her head lifted when she heard footsteps on the wooden dock behind her, heading towards her, she turned and looked behind her, her grey boots making a noise on the dock. She looked as the figure had stopped walking, his noticeable features, his black bandanna, his trench coat, his white blonde hair, his strong eyes.
She stepped forward and broke out into a slight run, stopping as she thudded on his chest, her arms wrapped around him under his trench coat, he gasped and put his arms around her, "Serah... what's wrong?" She shook her head, burying her face in his chest. She didn't want to move from this, sense of being close to the one whom she cared for. Concern started filling him after this lasted more than five minutes, of her not moving. He straightened up a bit, moved his hands to her shoulders, pushing away a little bit, he gasped when he saw the tears fall down her face, he knelt down and looked up at her, "Serah... What's wrong... did someone hurt you... or did something happen with Lightning... or Erinia?" He took her hand, incredibly worried about everything.
She wiped her tears and shook her head, "No... its not like that... they are both safe... and no one hurt me..."
Relief filled his hole being, "wow... that's a relief... But, Serah... if everything is alright... then why are you like this? Was there another argument at home with your sis?" he looked down at her small delicate hand softly in his gentle grip. Something which always made Gadot wander, how such a strong and rough guy could be so gentle when it came to tiny Serah.
She shook her head, putting her hand lightly over the bruise which still resided on his cheek. He closed his eyes, feeling her hand on his cheek was soothing her hand soft to the touch and cool. He put his hand over hers gently, "Serah... Please tell me... what's is the matter?" He opened his deep blue eyes and looked up at her.
She sighed, looking down, then looked at him, "Snow, don't you trust me?" She gasped when he growled and gripped her hand and pulled her close, literally sitting her on his knee, she looked into his eyes, "Snow... what are you-" She halted in her tracks when his lips met hers. Her eyes widened then closed.
When he pulled away, he sighed, "Now... Serah... Why would you say something like that... Of course I trust you... I trust you with my heart and all of my life! Why would you even think of asking that to me? Did something happen?"
She looked down, leaning against his chest softly, "Erinia and Lightning are hiding something from me..." she muttered quietly, "It's as if they don't trust me... with something which is important... something which I believe is to do with Erinia and her dreams... and her memories of before we found her... She also won't tell me why she is skipping class today..."
He sighed, "I don't really know what to say... I don't think they would intentionally hide something from you... Erin always has seemed closer to Light than you... She might have remembered something which Lightning can help with... But it's really hard to say... and she is skipping class today aswell? I think this is rather serious... huh!? what in the hell!?"
She turned to see what he was looking at, Lightning was walking along the beach, Erinia walked with her, wearing a Guardian Corps uniform. Her hair tied back in a bun. She looked up and gasped, seeing Serah and Snow, she smiled and waved, but then was stopped by Lightning, "We are on duty, Soldier... you can talk to them later..."
She nodded slowly and looked at them, mainly at Serah, lipping the word, "Sorry." their way.
Serah stood up with Snow, she looked at the floor, "Erinia... is a..."
"Soldier...!?" Snow finished her sentence, he chuckled slightly, "Never would have expected her of all people to do that... and at the age of 15... they must have seen potential in her... But I have always seen her as a free spirit... not someone to be tied down by the military... I was going to try and collar her into NORA... oh well, that's not going to work now... is it?" He smiled at Serah.
She nodded, "Yeah... I guess your right..."
Why... why didn't you tell me, Erin? Why couldn't you tell your best friend about joining Bodhum Security... When did this even come about... was there a reason you couldn't tell me? Is is because you knew I would be somewhat against it... Don't you trust me, Erin...
