AN: This chapter may seem a bit…eh…boring. My main reason is that I'm a bit on Writer's Block. Well, actually, not really Writer's Block, but my mind is on an AMV I want to do and I have actualy…started…working…on…my…fan fiction…with Faith…for…wait for it…FFXIII-2! Yup, infact I've been working on it for a while now. I'mma ask a question after I finish with the chapter.

And I need to start replying to people who don't have an account that post reviews. So, here it goes:

Lady Wonder (she posted this a while back, but I'mma reply now.): My friends even said that at school. I dunno, but you'll find out later.

: Could an Eidolon appear after it's already appeared once for someone's misery? And I hope you don't mean romantic fluff. I'll write non-incest fluff, meaning a sweet sisterly moment. BUT NONE OF THAT INSCEST STUFF. Sorry if I disappoint you…

READ ON. (Longest AU…I just noticed I kept putting AU instead of AN…Sorry…)

Hope and I walked up to the statue, and when we reached it, I felt as if it were talking to me.

I felt the small vibrations of the statue's voice in my ears, yet the voice wasn't clear.

But, even if I couldn't understand his words, I knew he wanted something.

Hope grabbed my arm again. "Don't touch it!"

I looked at him, confused. Then I noticed that I was walking to it.

What is wrong with this tower and its statues? It's like it wants to draw me in.

"Sorry, didn't mean t-"

Something then flew by us, it's wind knocking the both of us over.

I looked up, and it was that fal'Cie again.

"Now what do you want?" I stood up, yelling at it.

It twirled, and faced me.

"All I want to do is leave this tower! You and your statues and your tower are all annoying me! Is it that you want us to leave?"

I felt a hand on mine, and I glanced down at Hope.

"Don't provoke him, Faith," He told me, still on the ground.

I sighed, then looked back up at the stupid thing. "Okay, look. If you quit bothering us, then we can get out of here faster, alright?"

The fal'Cie stared at me for a moment, then twirled upwards, revving back.

I concentrated on his moves, and I realized something.

"Hope, run!"

He stood up, and we ran fast to the lift, which had gone down to a different tier. I didn't care, if I had to jump, I would've.

The fal'Cie blew a huge fire ball behind us, barely missing us.

I dropped and rolled, just in case I did get fire on me.

He flew off, and disappeared.

I breathed hard, and got up.

"That was stupid of you, Faith."

I raised my eyebrows, and glared at Hope. "Excuse me?"

He stood up, and looked at me. "You really shouldn't have done that. That thing could've kill us."

I scoffed, and crossed my arms. He really wanted to get slapped, didn't he? "You would have said the same thing to him!"

"But, I didn't. I kept quiet. I knew if we said something, he'd get angry and want to kill us, just like he attempted to."

I crossed my arms. "So what? He left, and we didn't even get hurt. You don't have to call me stupid."

"Faith, yo-"

SLAP!

"Shut up! Just shut up! You're not being a very great partner right now, Estheim. Why don't you just-," I stopped for a second, noticing my brand was aching again, worse than before. "just leave. I can fight on my own, I don't nee-"

He grabbed my branded shoulder, and unbuttoned the sleeve.

"What are you doing, don't to-"

"Shh."

He pushed the sleeve up a bit, and examined my shoulder. Hope quietly sighed, and it wasn't of relief. He patted down the sleeve, and buttoned it back up.

"You've gained an eye."

AN: So, we've basically found out why Faith's been all PMS-y for the past chapter or so. OR HAVE WE? Mwahahahaha. Nah, I ain't evil. If you're still a bit confused, she's been in a bit of a bad mood because the tower kinda affected all of their brands. Faith was just the first to have a slight mood change from it. If you were curious, her brand was on like stage six, while the others are on like eight or nine. Faith is on now stage seven, meaning the eye has started to grow.

Okay, so I said I would ask a question. HERE GOES.

I'm getting a bit impatient. Meaning, I REALLY want to post at least the first chapter of the FFXIII-2 story, but I don' t know if YOU guys want me to. SO PLEASE, review me back on that.

(And…after writing the end of this chapter…I kinda think my character Faith and Hope would be a bit cute together…^^ TEEHEE)
