Finally, I have made up my mind. This chapter was harder for me to write and it will be slightly shorter than the last ones. I'm almost done with this fic. I quit my rambling and let you enjoy it.

Chapter 10 : worry

For almost a week, Hope was torn between what he wanted to do, and what he knows was the right thing to do. Hope wanted to confront Belle about Lightning, but the more he thought of it, the less he was certain that it will be for the best. So, he had avoided her as much as he could for this time. But he can't do it anymore. Last night, Belle had gone somewhere without telling anyone. It was one of Belle's friend who had come to him to ask him if he know where Belle had gone. The worried look on the girl's face, had only increased his own worry. Even if he knows now that as Light, Belle can take care of herself, Hope can't help his own wish to protect her no matter the cost.

Hope had felt a great relief when he had found Belle asleep in what once was Vanille's home. She looked so peaceful then that he don't had the heart to wake her up. So, he seated himself in front of her sleeping form and watched her for the following hours. He found out that he can't sleep at all, so he used this time to think about what he must do. The shock he had felt when he had learned that Belle and Light were one and the same had slowly faded. And now, for the first time, he know that he can think properly about what he must do. It's not just what is good for him to do, but also what is right for Snow, Serah and Belle too.

Hope knows that he had two choice. He can told everything to the Villier and hope for the best come out of it. Or he can keep what he knows to himself forever. In the first case Hope was not sure that Snow and Serah would even believed him. For them Belle was their daughter, and it would break their heart when they would found out that Belle was no longer the child they have raised and loved, but the "sis" she once was. Hope missed Light a lot, and selfishly he wished for her to come back. But does his wish would be more important than the happiness of a whole family ? Does he had the right to separate them with the truth ? And what if Light is more happy as Belle than she was as Lightning ? Does he really had the right to made a choice ? He don't know, and he can't found any answer to his dilemma.

The sun rose too soon at Hope's liking. And soon after Belle woke up. She looked around and she smiled when her eyes meet Hope's one. And the young man returned her smile. That's now that he made his mind. He had no right to make a choice for Light. If she wanted for Serah and Snow to know the truth, then she will told them. If not, he had no right to tell them. Belle is not only Belle, but Light too. Maybe, with time, she will become like Light once was, but in a less bitter way. He will made sure of it. But until then, Belle will need his support and love, and he can't refused it to her. She had suffered too much before, and now that she had the chance to have a new life he can't do anything but help her with her choice. And maybe, in the future, they can become more close. And if Light never come back, then he would have to forget her and live his life with Belle. His destiny now is in her hand.

Belle was happy. Hope don't avoided her anymore. They have become best friend again, but with something more on the both part. When Hope looked at her now she can feel her heart beating faster and when he touched her she can feel the warm of his touch long after he had stopped. And it looked like if she had the same effect on him. And she loved the feeling. Hope was everything to her, and she don't even looked at the other boys. Now that she had reached her eighteens she had become aware of the look the boys send at her. But it don't bothered her a lot. It was nice to be seen with some desire, but if the look was not in Hope's eyes, then it don't have any importance to her. She was beautiful, like her aunt Lightning as her parent were saying, but all of her beauty was for one and only man.

This morning Belle had go to her doctor. She was very happy that Hope's father had helped her to have some ID stating that she was eighteen years old. It was nice to have some freedom. Without this ID she would have been considered as an almost five years old girl. She was happy that her parents have agree for it. Now, she can go to her appointment alone. And she hoped for a good news soon. She was aware that her strange growing up had slowly disappeared. She still continue to grow a little fast, but not like before. The doctor had good hope for her illness to be cured soon. Sometime Belle wondered if her journey in Obera don't have helped her with it. She don't clearly remembered what had happen there. She just know that since then her other self don't have show again. She even was anymore worried about the strange memories. And it was a good thing.

The doctor was very optimistic. Belle wanted to told it to her parent as soon as possible. So she ran without looking around, and she hit a person who was looking around. Belle looked at the man and she excused herself for her behavior. The man looked very shocked and Belle wondered for some time if she had hurt him a lot. But she was very shocked when the man talked.

" Farron ? Is that you ?"

Belle wondered how a man she never had seen can know her mother's maiden name.

" I'm sorry. You're mistaken. I'm Belle Villier, Snow and Serah's daughter."

" That's not possible !" Exclaimed the man. " You don't have changed ! I know you are Lightning Farron !"

Belle was frightened by what she see in the man's eyes. He was sure of it, but there is no way for her to be her own aunt. She can't let it happen. She must convince him that he was wrong, but she can't found the right words. So, she let her anger take the better of herself.

" You are wrong ! I'm Belle and no one else ! Leave me alone !"

With that Belle ran away as fast as she can. She need to do something about this man. She can't let him destroy her new life. So instead of returning home like she had planed, she ran to Hope's home. She was sure that he can help her with it. He was the only one she can turn to in this case. Together there will be anything to stop them.

To be continued.
