The Grand L'cie

Chapter 2: Lake Bresha

Storm's POV

I woke up on a lake that was made out of crystal. I sighed and looked around. The others were still unconsious. I pulled my glove off and said "I didn't see a dream. Just darkness. I probably still have then same focus." I sighed and waited for the others to wake up

The others woke up after about 10 minutes. Lightning and Snow were arguing about something. I wasn't listening. I was sitting down, thinking about the events at the hanging edge. 'Serah. She's a crystal now. I guess she completed her focus. I wonder how she's doing. Being in a crystal can be very boring. Poor kid. Damn I hope she's okay.' I heard someone say 'I'm going to guess she is.' I gasped and got up. Snow looked at me and asked "So Storm. What about you?" I looked at him and asked "What about me?" He said "Do you have a mark." I nodded and said "On my wrist." He sighed and Light said "L'cie to the last." I smirked and heard the voice say 'She looks familar. Where have i seen her before? Maybe in the future?' I looked down and thought 'Okay who the hell are you?' The person sounded like a girl, a kid. She giggled and said 'I can't tell you yet. But soon you'll figure that out. But here's a hint. My name starts with a L.' I said to myself "L? Who the hell is this kid?" Sahz looked at me and asked "So boy? Are ya talking to yourself now?" I wasn't paying attention to his question. The others looked at me and The kid said 'I know you. Storm. Real name is James Hillberge. You'll met me in the future. You'll take me in after everything that happens in 3 years happens.' I thought 'Kid you'll be driving me insane can you just tell me you're name?' She giggled and stopped talking to me. I heard Snow say 'Hey Storm. You okay?" I looked at him and said "Yeah. Just...Great. Yeah one of the most important people in my life just got turned to crystal. I'm great." I snapped. He looked at me and said "Well you were talking to yourself. Just thought that...You know nevermind." I looked away and said "Yeah. it'll be better that way."

We walked for awhile until that kid came back and said 'Serah is going to be here soon. Well her crystal.' I stopped. I was behind everybody and asked the kid 'Serah?! Where is she?' She giggled again and said 'Jeez. You don't have patience. Well I guess a few years of pain can change a guy. She's right around this corner.' I shook my head and thought 'Thanks kiddo.' I ran ahead of everybody else and I heard Sahz say "Hey boy. Where ya goin?" I didn't look back. I heard Lightning say "That's who he is." The kid in my mind, I'm gonna call her L for now on. Anyway's L came back and said 'I found out where I've seen her before. Well actually it's later in you're time.' I smiled and asked her 'Alright L. Where have you seen Light before?' She said 'First off don't call me L. I'll tell you name soon alright. And two. She in my time, is the savior.' As I was running i said 'Savior huh? Damn kid. this is a really long corner.' She said 'I know.' I got around the corner and I saw Serah's crystal. I ran over to it and said "Serah." I sat down in front of her and said "Serah. Damn, look what I did to you." L came in my mind and said 'Poor girl. It's sad what happens in 3 years. Oh well, can't do anything about it can ya?' I said "Yeah. Nothing. Serah, please talk to me, please." Then I heard Serah's voice say 'James, Continue on completing you're focus. Trust yourself and the others. Grow closer to them. Do it for me.' I said "I will Serah! I promise you I will !" Just then I heard snow yell "SERAH!" He pushed me out of the way and L said 'Hpm. So much for manners right.' I smiled and said 'Yeah.' Then Snow started trying to dig Serah's crystal out of the ground. I looked at her and thought 'This guy is insane kiddo, isn't he?' L said 'Yep. Even worse in my time.' Then something caught my eye. I saw a kid who was just walking around us. She said "Hi Storm." I looked at her and asked "Can the others see or hear you?" She shook her head no and said "Nope. But they can see and hear you talking to what appears to them nothing, but really it's me." I asked her "Who are you?' She smiled and said "I'm the little girl who you keep calling L." I looked at her wide-eyed and asked "But if you were in my mind then how are you out here?" She giggled and said "It's more like I'm in your mind then where you are." I sighed and said "Okay then." She said "Yep." I looked at her and said "You look like the 'savior' and Serah. Why?" She giggled and said "Because, I honestly don't know why." I sighed again and asked "What's your name kid?" She laughed and said.
