Noctis was fiddling with his necklace chain when Lightning came back inside. She was outside patrolling.

The pink haired girl stood there,putting her hands on her hips."I need to know something."

Noctis sighed as he put his necklace back in his pocket."And what is that?"

Lightning peered over her shoulder. She looked to make sure Stella wasn't there."You know that man."

"What man?"

She narrowed her eyes at him."Stop acting like you don't know who I am talking about!" She snapped."You know him. So who the hell is he?"

Noctis shrugged as he stood up to face her."I don't know Light. But I do think you should mind your own business."

Lightning grabbed her sword and aimed it at him."Don't you dare tell me what to do. If the princess is in any kind of danger from you.I won't hesitate to-"

"Kill me?" He smirked."You don't have the guts to try."

Her blue eyes narrowed at him."Is that a challenge?"

"A challenge you can barely stand." He whispered.

She growled and swung her sword,He dodged it quite easily. He smirked at her shocked expression.

"What's wrong Light?" He said in a sing song voice."Surprised that I could dodge that?"

Lightning took a step back. Her eyes wide."You...your not-"

"What's going on down here?" A voice said from behind them.

Noctis quickly ran over to Stella. Who was still in her night gown. Their fight must have woken her up.

"Stells thank god you're here. Lightning was trying to kill me." He spoke urgently.

Lightning glared at him."Liar!"

Stella blinked confusedly at the pair."But Light wouldn't do something like that."

Lightning breathed out a relieved sigh."Thank you Princess."

"Now tell me what's really going on. The truth if you please." Stella demanded.

Noctis glared at Lightning. Stella immediately saw that."Noctis...what's going on?"

Lightning crossed her arms over her chest,looking at him."Yes Noctis. Tell us what's going on."

He sighed as he went and sat on the couch."Lightning was asking me about that man. That man you encountered in the woods."

Stella glanced at Lightning,who nodded back at her. She took a seat in the chair opposite of Noctis."What about him?" She remembered fully well who they were talking about.

Lightning sighed as she walked over to the couch."That's the thing. he doesn't WANT to tell us. He tries to pretend like he doesn't know who that man is. But I know he does. He's not very good actor."

The princess frowned at Noctis."Is that true? you know him?"

Noctis looked up at Stella. Who he could never tell a lie to. Even though he's told some to her."Yes.I know him."

Stella looked at Lightning who placed a comforting hand on her shoulder."Then who is he?" She urged.

He sighed as he placed a hand on his forehead. He could feel a head ache coming on."H-He's my my boss." He started.

"By boss,I mean he was my master." Noctis whispered,staring at for her reaction.

She looked at him with her innocent blue eyes."So...you served him? He's like a king?"

Bless her naive heart. He shook his head."No Stells.H-He's a vampire lord."

Stella gasped as she stood up startled."V-Vampire? you served a vampire?!"

Noctis stood up and grabbed her hands in his gloved ones."I-I am one."

Stella's mouth was opened in shock. Her blue eyes were ones of fear."T-Then...it was you who killed my Father." The news just dawned on her.

"No Stella...that wasn't me." He quickly assured her.

She shook her head."It was. You were there that night."

"Stella-" He started.

"Don't touch me!" She yelled."Just stay away from me." She quickly turned and ran up the stairs.

Noctis whimpered as he turned to follow her."Stella please wait."

Lightning stepped in his path."You heard her. Stay away."

He glared at her."Get out of my way." He snarled.

"I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to be with a blood sucker." She smirked."I knew she wasn't safe here."

"I'm not going to hurt her." Noctis protested.

"You already did when you killed her Father." She spat.

Noctis growled as He turned and walked out the door. Lightning shook her head at his retreating form.


Quick footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. Lightning looked up to see Stella hurrying down with her bag."Lightning please just take me home." She sobbed.

Lighting opened the door as she followed the princess out."Right way."

Stella stuffed her bag in the seat of the limo as she climbed in. Noctis suddenly appeared at the window,making her gasp.

"Stella, it wasn't me! I swear." He begged as he pressed his face against the window."I love you."

She shook her head at him. Her eyes were starting to tear up."No you don't." She pressed the button to roll down the window."You can have this back."

Noctis looked to see her engagement ring in her hand. He looked at her with a hurt expression."Stells.."

"Take it." She yelled."Take it!" She threw the ring at him and rolled the window back up.

"Lightning please! get me out of here!" Stella all but screamed as she covered her face with her hands.

"Of course Princess."The pink haired warrior her foot on the peddle as it took off.

Noctis looked at the ground as he picked up the ring. He couldn't hear anything. It was all in silence as he saw the limousine drive off with his true love.
