Chapter 22: Confessions Part I

Storm flew for Flanoir with the hope that she could find Lloyd. She wasn't going to betray him, not again. This time she was going to follow her heart and do what she thought instead of what Yggdrassil thought for her. If something were to happen to Lloyd she would never be able to forgive herself. There was still one thing that troubled her, the fact that her father had hidden Lloyd's identity from her for so long. If he had told her earlier all of her decisions would have been much easier.

Once Storm arrived in Flanoir she flew to the local inn and saw a figure in one of the windows that looked like her brother. She threw a small rock at the window, hoping to gain the person's attention. She succeeded when the person opened the window. It was, in fact, Lloyd who was residing in the room.

"Who's there?" Lloyd asked the darkness of the night.

"It's me...Storm. I need to talk to you," Storm replied.

"Are you joking? Do you really think that I trust you enough to let you up here?" Lloyd replied harshly.

"Please, you have to believe me, no one sent me here. I have something important to tell you," Storm replied pleadingly.

"You can come up but I can't guarantee that I'm going to believe you," Lloyd replied as he stepped away from the window to allow her to enter. Storm flew up to the window and silently entered his room.

"So, what is it you want?" Lloyd asked gruffly.

"Listen...Lloyd, I had nothing to do with what happened. I had no idea," Storm began.

"Save it, just tell me what you're doing here," Lloyd interrupted.

"Lloyd, why are you so upset," Storm asked hurt by his remarks.

"You want to know why? Because you act like you're my best friend and you end up working for Mithos and Cruxis. Then we're enemies until we find out that we're siblings then you want me to forget everything that you did," Lloyd replied with anger and pain in his voice.

"I never really meant to hurt you, I didn't know what else to do, I just felt that...I don't know...I had no other choice at the time. But now I know that I can help and I want to do what my heart told me all along," Storm replied.

"I can't believe you Storm. I trusted you once and you betrayed that trust and I don't know if it can be repaired," Lloyd replied.

"Well, whether you trust me or not I have to tell you that you can't go to Derris Kharlan. Terrible things will happen if you go," Storm said.

"I know what you're trying to do," Lloyd said, "you're trying to protect Mithos aren't you?"

"No...that's not..." Storm tried to say.

"You're trying to keep us away from Mithos so we can't reunite the two worlds," Lloyd yelled.

"No, I'm trying to help. Why won't you believe me? You're not who I remember," Storm was on the verge of tears.

"No, I'm not because you were never the girl I thought you were. You may be my sister biologically, but you'll never be a sister to me in my heart. My sister wouldn't work for a man like Mithos," Lloyd yelled as he turned his back to Storm to keep her from seeing the tears in his eyes. It really did hurt him to be so harsh with someone he had once been so close to. But, she was also his enemy and he wanted to make sure she understood that.

"Fine, if that's the way you feel then I guess you won't need my help, but I will tell you that you shouldn't trust everyone in group. You don't have to believe me but it's your own fate you decide and I can't change it," Storm said as she brought out her wings and flew away, towards Altessa's house.

"I'm sorry Storm...but I still can't trust you...not yet," Lloyd said to himself.

"You know, you really are too harsh on her," Kratos said behind Lloyd. "She has changed a lot since you were last with her, she has begun to think for herself. You should listen to her."

"Kratos, what are you doing here?" Lloyd asked. "Were you back there the whole time?"

"Yes, and I am here to talk to you about everything that has happened and about Mithos," Kratos said.

"I'm listening," Lloyd said as he leaned against a wall, looking over the city as snow began to cover the city.

Well, what did you think? I'm either going to do Zelos and Storm next or Kratos and Lloyd. Vote for your choice by reviewing. Tell me what you think and hopefully the story can only get better, right? Anyways, review and tell me what you want to see.
