Sorry for the long wait people, hope you're enjoying the fic.

What: Main character narrating similar to how Tidus was narrating the FFX storyline which is where i got the idea.

FOUR

The trip continued and I had no interaction with my companion at all considering I was still in a foul mood of forcefully pushed into something that had something to do with my mother.

"Eclipse."

I turned toward Cedric.

"We will stop here today," he said as he seated down on the ground, "Fiends roams those lands at night, so you don't want to get into a fight with one of them."

The sun was already set and stars where starting to appear in the sky. It was fresh out, almost getting cold and I complied at him as he started a small fire and seated by it, cocking whatever food he had.

Not feeling up for conversation, I laid down and closed my eyes, listening to the crackle of the flames…

Flames…

I can hear my little brother's voice coming from upstairs…but they were so much smoke that I couldn't breathe properly.

"Nathan," I yelled, "where are you?"

Nathan continued to scream and I made to rush up the stair but my father's hand caught hold of my hand.

"Don't worry about your brother, get yourself out of here," he said.

"Dad…"

"I'll save him for you, I promise,"

I nodded at him and I rushed toward where the door was and I made only three steps away from the burning house…

KA-BLAM.

An enormous explosion took place from within, the heat and pressure burning into my back as I was propelled forward, landing on the asphalt, my head colliding with the small white fence of the house…

Then screaming echoed all around me…

"Eclipse, you okay?"

I was snapped awake, to see Cedric hovering near me, with a worried look on his face.

"I'm fine," I answered.

"You were whimpering as if you're crying," Cedric pressed.

"I told you I'm fine," I growled, glaring at the man.

He looked like he was about to say something else but thought better of it and turned toward where he was. I looked up at the sky watching the night stars.

Silence was my comfort.

Loneliness was my friend.

"Do you have any friends?" Cedric asked.

I turned toward him, raising an eyebrow at him, "Yeah, why?"

"Really?" he said, "But you don't look like someone who had many friends in his life. More like a master of something, getting other to do stuffs for you."

"You think I treat my friends that way?"

He looked at me, "You know you do."

"What are you getting at Cedric?"

"How did you first met Harry?"

I glared at him, "How the hell do you know so much about my life?"

"I know things," he answered, vaguely.

I was irritated by his answer but I looked back at the star filled sky, "I fought him for spilling my milk."

"Really?" Cedric said, with a hint of interest, "Did he stick around after that?"

"Course he did," I answered, "He was the first one to ever become what I call a friend."

"Did you ever tell him about the fire that killed your family?"

I frowned slightly at that and I turned toward Cedric who was giving me a knowing look as if he already knew my answer, which I figured he knew already considering he knew things about me that I never told anyone.

"I thought so," he said, "You try to hide all that pain you're carrying, hiding all that suffering behind this façade you're wearing right now…"

I was suddenly angered by his words, "Why don't you just fucking shut up?"

"Why are you so angry then?" Cedric said, his voice stills the same, "Who are you angry at?"

"You want to know who I'm angry at, it's her, that woman who left me all these years ago," I yelled, "I'm angry at all she did to my father and my brother. I just can't forgive her."

Cedric looked at me in silence; the only sound that could be heard was the crackling of fire and the sound of night animals. He sighed loudly and stood up looking around the deserted place we were in and said

"Do you ever think that your mother didn't have a choice in the matter?"

"She did have a choice," I snapped, "She chooses to leave me and my father."

Cedric shook his head, "If you hate her so much, why did you agree to head to Bevelle? You could have just chosen to wander around Spira, choose your life's way."

"You didn't really give me a choice did you?" I snapped at him, "You're the one that brought me here, remember? With your little zapping thing,"

"Me, I've just woke you up," Cedric said, "You were already in Spira even before I met you. I've only just woke your mind and your body followed."

"What?"

"The world you thought you used to live in doesn't exist," Cedric said, "It never had."

I stared at him for a few moments, before I started to chuckle, and then it rose to a full blown laughter, "You're fucking with me right? How can it not exist when yesterday I was just there."

Cedric seemed to sigh at me, and he was growing impatient.

"Have you ever wonder why your life was so perfect?" he asked, "whatever you asked for was presented to you, you seems you wanted to eat something in particular and the next day it was right there in your refrigerator. You wanted to borrow a game from Harry and he suddenly got it?"

"Stop it, just stop," I screamed, getting more and more angered at everything he was saying, "I know the world I came from exist and I will go back to it as you had promised me, you've got it, and newsflash, my life was never perfect, at least not in my point of view."

With that I rolled over, not wanting to look at his face anymore.

The fire continued to crackles and I heard him humming a song, a lullaby of some kind as I watched the darkness around me. He must be crazy thinking I'm going to believe what he was saying. How can the United States not exist?

I remember that world as I remember my own childhood. I remember all the troubles I have gotten into, the scowling I've gotten from my uncle and I knew they were times I believe that they were going to kick me out of the house, but they never did.

I frowned to myself.

Great, now he's got me thinking about the all things going my way thing, I thought, and I know that Cedric is wrong.

He had to be.

"Eclipse,"

"What?"

"Are you hungry?"

I turned toward him to see that he was holding out a plate at me, smirking slightly. Thanking him, I took the plate of food from him, and I eat it, as Cedric continued to hum the lullaby he was singing.

"That song…?"

He turned his attention toward me, "What?"

"Where did you hear that song?" I asked him.

"Oh, it is called Hymn of the Fayth," Cedric said, "Used to work in a temple during Sin's carnage."

"Sin?"

"Yeah," Cedric said, looking at the sky, "Sin, the Spawn of Spira, something that couldn't be killed for long, for every ten years, he return and continued to cause more death for the people."

"So it was immortal?"

"That it was," Cedric said.

He then told me about the times of Sin, and the continued cycle Spira used to leave in. To tell you the truth, I was horrified. Something that a Summoner lose their life to kill, only to return ten years later, and every ten years, it continued. Cedric told me of Summoner Yuna, the one who had defeated Sin, and he told me of how her and her Guardians were named as traitors to Yu Yevon, and from where I could tell she sounded brave, when she had continued her journey even when she was declared traitor.

Now all we need is a forbidden love drama and we have a best-seller in our hands ladies and gentleman, I thought to myself as I smirked slightly.

"Sound like an adventure," I said.

"Yeah," Cedric said, "So you like adventures huh?"

I looked at him confused.

"You were hanging on every word I was saying," Cedric said with a knowing grin.

"Want me to punch you again?" I asked him.

His smile dropped a little and said, "Nah, I want my jaws in one piece thanks."

"Well, I'm off to bed," I said and put the plate on the floor, and was for some reason, I was instantly asleep.

The next morning, me and Cedric continued our way toward the city of Bevelle, and Cedric was telling me everything about the city, and its laws, and me all I could think was what would I do when I finally see her. It's not like it was going to be a tearful reunion, I mean, I fucking hate the bitch…

Yeah, but you're the son of that so-called bitch.

Around midday, we stopped at a traveling inn so we could get our food.

"Cedric, why did she send you?" I asked him.

He looked up from his food, looking genuinely surprised that I asked him that.

"What?"

He shook his head, "No…I'm sorry, and it's just that, I never thought that you'll be curious about anything except to go back to your world."

I raised my eyebrows.

"Well," he continued swallowing slightly, "How could I put this delicately…?"

I continued to look at him, wondering what the hell he should be nervous about…it's not like he was speaking to a girl or something…

"Well say it," I said, getting annoyed, "It's not like were related or anything?"

Catching the look on his face makes my jaws drop.

"No fucking way…"

"Yeah," Cedric said, "We're brothers."

Gasp. didn't see that coming i expect. hope you enjoyed it.

Jacques0 out.
