LightningxHope Chapter 3

Hope watched as the Vampire's big jagged hand collided with Lightning's face. She fell down in front of the c'eith
and did not get up.
"Lightning!" cried Hope pulling out his boomarang and lanching it at the Vampire whiles lanching elemental spells
at it in fury, the Vampire's attention turning to Hope, ignoring the crumpled form on the ground.

A few minites passed and the Vampire fell and disindigrating into fine crystal dust joining the dust around Oerba.
Hope rushed over to where Lightning layed.
"Lightning! Wake up" he shook her lightly.
She let out a little moan and her eyes fluttered open.
"H-hope?" Lightning whispered reaching up stroke his face.
"Its me Light" Hope smiled, before pulling her up into a standing position, supporting some of her weight.

"Thank you, Hope" said Lightning said staring shyly at Hope.
Hope felt his heart ache, staring up at him with those bright bluish-green eyes,
A subtle pink blush spread across her milky skin...
she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Realising he was staring Hope suddenly leaped up to put the kit away.
"Light you need to rest up and let the wound heal..." Hope started,
as he walked back into the bedroom.

Lightning was already asleep, her rose-pink hair lightly fluttering with her every breath.

Hope smiled softly and gently climbed beside her on the bed careful to to wake her.

Before curling up beside her and falling into a sleep haunted by a women with pink hair...
