Chapter 11 : Appology

The spy is very happy with himself. His master is still with him. He was very lucky to found this man, Sazh, before he can tell to the others that he had found out that he was not the real Hope. All of this because of a short sentence. How can he had guessed what this "operation Nora" was ? Really, as good as the spying of the Samctum was, there still be some things that they can't have found. When the old man had congratulate him about this operation, the spy had guessed that it was a succeed. But he was wrong, and the man had almost escape the house before the spy can have acted.

Twenty years ago, the spy had sold his soul to the harra. In counter part he had gained to not age, and some magic power. One of them was the ability to made forget things to people. With the normal people, the spy is sure that they don't even remember anything. But he is not so sure with the L'cie. Even if the old man was no longer a L'cie, there is nothing to tell how his time as L'cie had changed him. If it had changed him at all. But for now, the man had forget that the spy is not the Hope they all have fight with.

The spy understand that, maybe, he would have less time than expected. His master had give him for goal to destroy the defense of the village. And, until now, he can't have found how they worked. He know that if he wanted to learn more about it, he needed to become closer to this Lightning. But he don't doubt it will a hard task, because after what Snow had done, she is angry with him too. And the doctor would not help him too, for the same reason as Lightning. But he was not the best spy of cocoon for nothing. He never had failed one of his mission, and this one would not be the first.

For two weeks, Snow had try to apology to Light, but without any success. Each time he come to her in the goal to apology, Light dead stare had stopped him. Snow loved Light very much. If at first he had call her "sis" because she was Serah's sister, now he thought of her as his real sister. And he don't like for them to be angry. The whole situation made also Serah sad, and Snow love her too much to let the things going like this without trying to fix it. But Light is very hard, and Snow is very afraid for his health if he go to her without any protection.

Snow had never thought that Light can love so much the doctor, so he don't have seen how much he had hurt Light back then. It was Eidan's words who have open his eyes. It was easy to Snow to apology to Eidan than Light. But Snow was shaken by the hurt and betrayal in the doctor's eyes when he had accepted his apologies. Snow don't have understand the betrayal, the hurt he can have understand, but not the betrayal. Snow had hoped that the doctor would help him with Light, but his hope were crushed. If the doctor had accepted this excuses, he had made very clear that there is no way for him to go to Light and ask her to forgive Snow. Snow had felt very alone then.

But, now he had a plan. Tomorrow is the birthday of Alex, and Snow know that Light love too much her nephew to refuse to come to the birthday party like she had done for the last two weeks. Serah had made sure of it. Tomorrow, like it or not, light will heard him and accept his apologies. He had a lot of things to do before the party, and he need the help of all of his friends. Sazh and Hope would help him, that's what the friend are for.

Sazh is looking at the doctor with wonder. He don't know why, but he had the feeling that he had found something important about the doctor, but for the life of himself he can't remember what it was. Maybe if he looked enough at the doctor, the things will come back to him. But it don't have worked so far. But sazh is a very obstinate man, and he know that sooner or later he will remember it. Until then he would not stop his watch of the doctor. But not in the bad way, because sazh felt some friendly feelings toward the man. Like if he had known him before. This forgetting really bothered him !

Light don't know if she would strangle or hug Snow. She is not blind. She had see how much he had try for the past weeks to apology to her. But it was too fun to see him come around and run away as soon as she looked at him in a way who frightened him. She can't have helped herself. Hope had changed her so much. Never before she would have acted like this, but since she is with him, she began to open herself to other things than work related. In fact, Light is really not angry at Snow anymore. Hope had forgive him, so she can't do any less. And she loved the man so much, but there no need for him to know it. No one knows how Snow would react if he know that she thought of him as her brother.

Serah is busy with the planing of the party. She know that Snow had some plan, and she hoped that it will work. She can't stand to see her beloved husband and sister at odds. Even if she doubted that her sister was anymore serious about it. Which is strange for her sister, but since she had found someone who love her, Light had began to fade and Claire had come out more and more. And Serah is overjoyed by it. Now, there is just the problem of Hope and Alex. The baby seem to be very afraid of Hope. Each time he see him, Alex began to cry like if he was afraid of Hope. Until now, nothing of what they had try had worked. Alex looked more and more afraid of Hope with the passing time. And Serah begin to wonder if there is not a good reason behind this.

Lightning and Eidan come to the party sooner than the others. But they were not aware of this. It was part of Snow's plan. Sazh and Hope have agree to come to snow house only after dinner time. They had also agree to take Snow watch. But much to the displeasing of the spy Dajh had asked to come with them, and his father don't have the heart to refuse. If the spy can use his magic against the adults, but he can't do nothing against the children. Their clear mind is too much for his dark power. So, until the boy leave them, the spy can't manipulate Sazh into giving him the secured code of the village. And the boy is making sure that he don't leave his father alone. Dajh don't trusted Hope and there is no way he left his father in the hand of this dark man. Dr Hole had say that it was a man duty to protect his loved one, and Dajh will protect his father no matter the cost.

As soon as she had entered the house, Light found herself crushed by Snow's hug. Snow was so eager to go to Light before she can react that he had pushed Eidan on the floor without noticing it.

" Sorry, sis. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. You know me, I talk before I think." Pleaded Snow.

" I have forgive you for a long time. " Said Light so seriously that it take some time for Snow to catch the meaning of her word.

" What ? But why were you so cold to me if you have forgive me ?"

" It was fun." Was all her answer.

Serah can't help but laugh at her husband's face. Snow had planed so much to made Light forgive him, and her sister had just destroyed all of his plan with just some words. He looked so disappointed. But soon he recovered and smile with real joy.

"Thank you sis." He said.

" I'm not your sister." Said Light without meaning it.

" Can someone please help me ?" Asked the poor Hope still on the floor.

The afternoon was a very happy one for the family and the friend of the Villiers. Alex was very happy to see Hope and it had stunned Light to see how much the baby was fond of Hope. And the young man was also very fond of the baby. Light can't help herself but think that one day he would made a very good father, and more and more she thought that she can be the mother. She don't know how her sister and the others would react when they found out that Dr Hole is in fact the real Hope. She hoped that they will understand and forgive them for hiding for so long. More she is very afraid that they don't accept their love. Light is still seven years older than him, but if it doesn't matter to her anymore. But she is worried that it matters to her sister and friends. Not that she will leave him, if they disagree. But she would prefer that they accepted them. But, no matter what she would never leave his side. They have gone through too much to let the other opinion dictate her.

To be continued.

I hope you loved it. Please review.
