Hi guys! I'm finally posting the second chapter because I finally got a review! One review! And its awsome! Alright disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy 7, or its characters. I also do not own My immortal by Evanescence!
Chapter 2- What does blue look like?
I was laying next to Bast on the Master bed, in my pajamas, when the door to my temporary room opened. I looked up and saw Tifa walk in.
"It's time for dinner." She told me sweetly.
"Hey is that Cloud person always such a grump?" I asked Tifa. 'And why is he sooo cute?' That thought I left to myself though as Tifa started to talk.
"Not always…I mean he used to but now its different…" She told me with a dreamy look in her eyes. I looked at her with a confused look as plain as day on my face. "What do you mean?" I asked her. She turned and frowned at me. "Why are you here Luna? What's the real reason?" She asked me, her face serious. I looked down at Bast who was still sleeping. "My family was murdered a couple months ago. All of them. My sister, my brother, and my parents. Shinra killed them, because they had something that they wanted." I whispered tears coming to my eyes. Tifa knelt down beside the bed and hugged me. "What do they want?" She asked me pulling away to look at my face. "Me…and Bast…" My words were barely inaudible. Tifa's face was a look of pure shock.
"Why?" "Me and Bast, we're not like normal people. We have animal forms as well as our human forms. And we can perform magic that you wouldn't even dream of. We're dangerous and I just accidentally brought you into it…" I cried covering my face with my hands and sobbing loudly. My crying eventually woke up Bast. She rubbed her eyes and heard me crying. "No not again Luna! We mustn't cry!" She whined hugging me to her and hiding her face in my side. I hugged her and cradled her in my arms. After a while of this, Bast fell asleep again. "Luna, what is Bast to you?" Tifa asked me while stroking Bast's hair to flatten. I looked up at her, my eyes red and puffy from crying. "Well she really isn't related to me. My mother found her when she was just a baby. I was put in charge of watching after her. To me, she isn't like a sister, not anymore at least. Right now, she's more like my daughter." I told Tifa. She nodded.
"I know what you mean." She told me. "You do?" I asked. "Yeah I have two adopted kids upstairs at this moment. Why don't you come and eat with us? It's ready all you have to do is get Bast around." Tifa said standing up and leaving. I turned to look at the sleeping form of Bast. I shook her shoulders a little. "Bast! Bast wake up!" I whispered in her ear.
She slowly opened her eyes and yawned. "Is it morning?" She asked me, her voice heavy with sleep. "No it's not, but its time to eat." I told her. She stood up and took off her cloak. Her outfit consisted of a strapless pink corset type top that had dark pink ribbons on it and a short pink skirt with ruffles on the bottom and a red bow in the center. She had these pink things on her legs that started just under the knee and puffed out at her feet, almost covering her black and white tennis shoes. On her left arm she had an arm bracelet that was just above her elbow and another on her right leg that's just above her knee. She also has a silver choker necklace on around her neck. All in all, she looked like a normal 10 year old to me. I just stayed in my white sports bra and baggy white pants. The only thing that I added was a black hooded sweater.
I held Bast's hand as we walked up the stairs and into the bar. When I didn't see anyone I called out to Tifa. "In here Luna!" She yelled to me from behind the kitchen. We walked into a door that led out of the kitchen and into a dining room. There sitting at the dining room table was Tifa, Cloud, and two little kids. One was a boy who looked about the same age as Bast, and he had shaggy brown hair. The other was a girl with long dark brown hair. They both looked very cute to me. "You two can sit right there." Tifa said pointing to two empty spots across from her and the little girl. I sat down by Cloud, who was at one end of the table, and Bast sat down by the little boy, who was at the other end. "Oh yeah! You guys don't know the kids names! Luna, Bast, this is Denzel," Tifa said pointing at the little boy. He smiled at Bast. Bast obviously felt him looking at her because she turned her head to look at him. "Hi! I'm Denzel! What's your name?" He asked Bast. I saw Bast's lips curve into a friendly smile.
"I'm Bast… what color are your eyes?" Bast asked him. He frowned and looked at me. "Can't she see?" He asked me. "No she can't, she blind. But, she's trained to know what colors look like." I explained to him. He nodded and let Tifa go on. "And this is Marlene!" She said indicating the little girl beside her. "HI!" Her voice squeaked. Tifa looked around satisfied. I found that I was being watched and looked over at Cloud. His eyes were studying me carefully. "Alright here we go!" Tifa said passing out the food. I was relived to find that Cloud was no longer looking at me. And well, the rest of dinner, I wished he was.
*~*~*~*~*
It took all my strength to pry Bast away from Denzel that night as he sat telling her about Geostigma. She really didn't want to leave him yet. And I know that we both wished that at the time she could see Denzel, the boy she clearly had feelings for even though she just met him.
Once we were down stairs I got her her pajamas and gave them to her. Once she was dressed she looked at me. "Luna what color were his eyes?" She asked me in a small voice. A voice that I had never heard her use before. "Well they were blue." I told her knowing what she would ask next. "What does blue look like?" She asked. I thought for a moment. "Blue is the feel of the ocean when you're swimming. It's when you hear the wind talking to you. It's the color of happiness." I explained to her in the best way I could. She sat in silence for a moment. Then she smiled. "He has pretty eyes!" She whispered to me.
"You wanna know something Bast?" I asked her bending down to her level. "What?" She asked me excitedly. "Imagine Cloud's eyes like that because I think he is pretty cute as well as Denzel." I told her. She smiled and was silent again. Then she laughed and looked at me as though she could see me.
"Cloud has pretty eyes too!" She called happily. I laughed at her as we both climbed into the Master bed. "Sing me a song please Luna?" Bast asked, her voice growing small with tiredness. "What do you want to hear?" I asked her. She thought about it for a moment. "I wanna hear My Immortal…" She whispered. I sighed and started to sing.
"I'm so tired of being here"
"Suppressed by all my childish fear"
"And if you have to leave"
"I wish that you would just leave"
"Because your presence still lingers here"
"And it won't leave me alone"
"These wounds wont seem to heal"
"This pain is just to real"
"There's just to much that time cannot erase"
"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears"
"When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears"
"And I've held your hand through all of these years"
"But you still have all of me"
The words of this song have always haunted me, but I had to finish the song. I had to. For Bast, anything for Bast.
"You used to captivate me"
"By your resonating light"
"But now I'm bound by the life you left behind"
"Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams"
"Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me"
"These wounds won't seem to heal"
"This pain is just to real"
"There's just to much that time cannot erase"
"When you'd cried I'd wipe away all of your tears"
"When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears"
"And I've held your hand through all of these years"
"But you still have all of me"
This part of the song always made me cry. It was sad and of course this song was about our dead family. I just hoped that someday Bast and I could live in peace. Anything for Bast.
"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone"
"But though you're still with me"
"I've been alone all along"
"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears"
"When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears"
"And I've held your hand through all of these years"
"But you still have all of me"
I started to cry as I finished the song. Soon after I fell asleep. The only thought in my head before I did fall asleep was 'I hope no one but Bast heard'.
*~*~*~*~*
Little did Luna know that outside her door, Cloud had been standing there. He had heard the whole conversation between her and Bast and the song. He smiled as he turned to walk back up the stairs as Luna's and Bast's words rung in his head. 'Imagine Cloud's eyes like that because I think he is pretty cute' 'Cloud has pretty eyes too!'
Pretty good wasn't it? Please review and tell your friends! ENJOY!
