Chapter 19
NORMAL POV
Temple of Valhalla a place where the power of choas bends and roams. A place where time and space holds to a stop. Deep inside the temple in the cells deep within the temple four figures lay in different cells
SERAH'S POV
I feel coldness under me..I felt a sharp pain in my head..as I slowly open my eyes to temp to open them.. my eyes kept feeling heavy when I was able to see my suroundings I notice that I was not in Oerba jerked up only to feel the pain in my head when I looked around I saw two children with me one was a boy with long light brown messy hair, blue eyes and wearing a black shirt with black pants the boy seemed to be bout 10-12 years old and next to him was a young girl slightly younger than he was she was a girl who was laying on the bed as the boy had his eyes closed watching over her in his own way the girl had light brown hair mid length wearing a red ribbon in her hair she also wore a long white looking dress as she layed asleep on the bed. I took and sat up and held my head to try to regain what happen or where I might be
"your awake" The boy on the bed says opening his eyes
I jump with a start as the boy supprised me
"y-yes..what happen?...where are we exactly?" I asked the boy not knowing weather or not he knew but I assumed I would ask
"I actually dont know... me and my sister Marleen was taken here by a female warrior as our mom tried to fight her..she was knocked uncconious and we was taken here" The boy explains looking at the girl who he states her name was Marleen...Marleen..why did that name sound so familer to me
"so what bout you? do you know why your here...and mind if I ask you name?" I calmy ask the boy being a school teacher in my home on bodhum I figured to be kinder to the boy for i'm certain he may be scared inside then what he was showing
"Denzel..and might I ask your name now?" The boy asked me
I smile at the boy "My name is Serah Villiers" I smiled
I suddenly jump remembering being kiddnaped by a woman with a wierd looking sword as my husband Snow fought against her and lost I search the cells
"SNOW? SNOW? ARE YOU THERE?" hollering out of the cells to hope Snow was here with me
"what does this Snow guy look like?" Dezenl asks getting off the wall
"well he is bout 7' and 2" and has long blond hair with a scruffy gottee and wearing a long white coat and blue jeans...have you seen him?" I asked worried bout what happen to him
"there wasnt a man that came here but me...the rest are three female...was my sister Marleen...you and another girl with pink hair in the cell across from us..but the girl stays under her blankets...I believe she is scared but I dont know for sure" Denzel explains to me
"Hello?! you across the room are you ok?"
the blankets lowered as I seen someone I havent seen since my wedding day my friend Vanille
"VANILLE? what are you doing here?" I asked rather confused
"Serah? im not sure me and Fang was fishing and next thing I rembemer im seeing stars.." Vanille explains
"well we all have to be here for a reason but I myself havent figured it out yet" Denzel explains
"You sound very brave for a young man" I say smiling
"to be honest...im terrified...but...Marleen...is my sister...and I cherish my family..i'd put on a brave face as long as Marleen isnt worrying" Denzel says putting a blanket back over her
"you cherish your family...that sounds...oddly familer...hey Denzel...have we met before?" I asked
"not that im aware of...if we did...where do you think it would have been?" Denzel closes his eyes to think
"Serah's wedding"...all eyes turn to the bed as I see the girl Marleen sit up
"what? you mean MY wedding?" I asked rather confused
"yes...we was guest to you wedding from Cloud" Marleen smiled
"Oh I see that means you was with the woman Tifa and Clouds" I say smiling back as we hear footsteps echo through the hall
"aww well isnt that sweet seems like the prisoners are getting along...well dont get to friendly your only here to set baits as a trap" says the voice
as we all look to where the voice was coming from was a woman that had a slim hour body with long purple hair, with deep blue eyes..carrying a big blue sword that had a Pink crystal in it that looked afuly familer but where and how...she also wore a black tank top with tight black pants and a dark blue skirt over the tights...as she clutches her sword in her hand
"who are you? and what do you want with us?" I ask rather calm and demanding not wanting to worry the kids
"if you must know my name is Lola and I happen to be the daughter of Caius that your friends destroyed" Lola states clutching her fists
"wait Caius? i didnt know Caius had a daughter" I reply not really knowing what else to say as im supprised that Caius had a child
"yes so what the big deal im the daughter of Caius...so now I have you guys as bait to set my traps" Lola says staring at me Denzel and Marleen
Marleen starts shaking a little as Denzel stands infront of her defending her
"Traps for WHO exactly? and what do you want me and Marleen for? we dont even know a Caius...so how and why are we apart of your plan?" Denzel stares firm at Lola but I can see his legs tremble a little
"aww the boy is trying to be the hero? ...grow up...you little runts dont have what it takes to understand OR stop what i have in store" Lola mocks with a laugh
"Who are you to pick on kids you plump hair grump" i spat back angrily
"Serah its fine...i dont really care what she thinks...doesnt matter to me...cause I swear to protect Marleen at all cost" Denzel says keeping Marleen in the back
"thats the spirit Denzel" Vanille said from the other side of the room
"ok thats just pitaful...but its brave none the less...ok kid i'll explain...you see the reason i have brough all of you here is because i am going to set my trap as i had well explain..as for who its for the two who killed my father" Lola explains
"and who would that be?" Vanille asked
"isnt it obviouse?" Lola asked annoyed
"your setting it for Lightning and Cloud...arent you?...you want revenge...on Lightning...so you caught me as bait to catch her..." I explained thinking outloud
"yes someone who actually uses their heads...yes Serah your the one who fought my father first...however even though Noel Kriess is the one who killed my father...because he plunged the sword Noel had in his own heart...i dont hold his first death on either of you...its the NOW i want revenge on...i want revenge on Lighting for weakining my father...and i wana kill Cloud with my own hands...for not only did he kill my father Caius..but he killed the man known as Sephiroth four times in a row and defeated both Sephiroth and my father at the same time...a man i find MOST interesting" Lola explains with a smirk
"YOUR WRONG! YOU WONT BE ABLE TO KILL CLOUD...DADS MORE STRONGER THAN YOU WOULD EVER IMAGINE" Denzel hollers out of anger how ever i stand shocked..dad? Cloud was their father? does Claire know bout this? Claire couldnt be the mother since they have only been dating a few months..these children looked older than just a few Months
"well i dont care who Cloud is im certain my revenge will be fullfilled however thats where you brats come in your going to be the bait that lures Cloud to me" Lola says and runs a finger under Marleens chin as Denzel smacks her hand away
"s-so why is mrs Vanille here?" Marleen asked
"cause i want to destroy the head quarters of C.G.C that allowed my fathers death..and by kidnapping her i am going to get ahold of a man named Hope who from what i hear is the brain of the works and weapons at C.G.C...now if you may excuse me i have some traps to set" Lola says and leaves
"Lightning...please be careful" I pray closing my eyes
NORMAL POV
as Cloud and Lightning are walking along with Hope...Lightning gives a small sneeze
"You ok Light?" Hope asked
"yeah..dont know where came from" Lightning says with a small cold tone
"OK WHATS the deal..you both havent talked much to me the whole trip...i get you have a reason to so i dont really blame Cloud over here to talk to me...but Light even when you was cold and showed no emotion you didnt hesitate to be least kind to me...do you hate me that much now?" Hope says dead stop looking dead on in Lightnings eyes
"enough Hope walk on" Cloud states standing infront of Lightning
"Cloud..its ok" Lightning says as she walks infront of Cloud "you should know better Cloud im not a deffensless girl...i dont ALWAYS need protection" Lightning says as Cloud lowers his head
"s-sorry Light..im just...trying to be supportive...kinda hard...to show you love someone ...when...you had everyone taken from you...and..try to block your feelings out" Cloud says still looking down till he see's Lightning's boots and looks up..Lightning pecks Cloud on the lips and looks in his eyes
"I know that Cloud..believe me ...im the same way..only difference is I still have Serah..i'm just trying not to be so cold to the people i love and care about alright? you'll know when to step in ok?" Lightning smiles
"Ok" Cloud smiles and steps aside
"I dont hate you Hope just...very dissapointed...i knew you had a thing for me...but you never took a chance...and Cloud...didnt take a chance..in fact..with us things just happen..yes it was fast...yes it was out of normal...but it happen..and as my friend you should have been happy for me like you was with Serah...but instead you tried to kill my fiance' ...thats why im upset...i want you to tell me right now...are you REALLY on this trip to save Vanille or to try and kill Cloud again?" Lightning asks grapsing her sabor sword
"Light...its true I love you..and I probly always will...but I am on this trip to save Vanille..I happen to love her to...and since your happy with Cloud..I figure I should be happy for you and move on..." Hope says not moving an inch
Lightning let go of her sabor sword "alright Hope i'll believe you cause you have never let me down before...dont make me regret it alright?"
Hope nods his head in agreement "deal...so Cloud...you dont have to forgive me but.." Hope walks up to Cloud and holds out his right hand "I'd like to start over...i'm Hope Estheim leader of C.G.C military development"
Cloud puts out his hand and takes Hopes
"fine..i'm Cloud Strife 1st class SOLDIER for C.G.C"
as they finish shaking hands a noise was heard from above Hope grabed his Airwing open ..Cloud pulls his bustersword off his back..and Lightning grabs her Sabor sword out of her pouch...they stand and wait as the figure jumps to the ground
"Hey guys you seem sharp as ever"
"NOEL?!" all three say in usion
"Noel what are you doing here?" Cloud asks firm "You was not ordered to be here"
"now thats rude Cloud as you know i dont even work for C.G.C therefore i dont have to follow THIER orders" Noel says crossing his arms
"He's right Cloud..Noel can do as he pleases...but Noel..why ARE you here?" Lightning asks
"i heard Serah was taken...I...I...I want to go rescue her.."Noel says with a faint blush
"why's your face all red Noel?" Hope said teasing
"cause i ran here all the way when i heard" Noel lied
"we'll whatever lets just make camp here for the night" Lightning says as everyone nodds and sets up their tents
"what bout Noel?" Cloud asked
"Dont worry bout me Cloud...being from the futter i learned to sleep outdoors without a tent and such" Noel says as it started to rain slightly
"Noel...just share a tent with me for the night..we'll pick you one up if we come cross a general store" Hope says as Noel nodded his head defeated
(authors note)
(ok so i played both final fantasy 13 and 13-2...i also played lightning returns but since this topic is on Noel Serah and Snow i figure i would explain my feelings on it...so i REALLY dont think Snow and Serah belonged together...i mean yes Snow DID do alot to save serah but throughout the game of Final fantasy13 i saw no love or romantic connection between the two but on the firworks when serah kissed snow...but throughout 13-2 the time serah and noel traveled through time and space they got closer..flirted...and noel got extreamly jelouse when serah said snow was her fiance and at the end of the game when you defeat caius and noel protects her none stop through that fight...at the end when he caught her they both was smiling i believe not ONLY cause they thought they saved the world but also because of the feelings deep inside them..and when serah died it broke Noels heart...i believe that he loved Yuel as a personal friend like sister like but he LOVED serah thats just my oppion so my snowXserah may go into a NoelxSerah but im not for certain i write the story as i come up with ideahs but i hope your all enjoying it so far...and till i can come up with some idea's this will be a last chapter for few days i will post a new in about 3 days or a week)
