Sisterly Love Chapter 1: A Startling Discovery
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Serah Farron awoke to the sound of her alarm clock. She turned it off, and quickly got dressed into her usual clothes of a short plaid skirt with black thigh high stocking's that showed
some of her thighs, and a white sleeveless shirt with a near transparent sweeper of the same color. Much like her sister Serah wears an armband identical to Lightning's with the only
difference being Serah's doesn't have the leather belt like strap at the bottom that Lightning's does. The young eighteen year old girl was about to leave the room when she spotted
her l'Cie mark in the mirror, quickly she tied a white shirt like cloth material around it to discreetly hide it. Once again Serah's mind went back to her sister Lightning, she smiled as she
went to go wake her older sister up. Serah knocked on her older sister's door but there was no answer.
"Lightning?" she called but still there was no answer. She opened the door to find find that her sister wasn't there. She also noted that Lightning's usual clothes: a white sleeveless
vest, brown sleeveless turtleneck, and a short brown skirt were not in her dresser and her Blaze Edge was also missing. 'Why would she leave? We were supposed to spend the day
together 'Serah thought "I guess I'll go look for her." Serah said. She then put on her shoes, and headed out the door locking it behind her.
PSICOM Headquarters- Eden The Capital of Commerce 3:30am
Lightning's eyes fluttered open only to be greeted with a pounding headache. She groggily looked around to find that she was being held in a cell.
"Mmmph!" Lightning attempted to swear but all that came out was a series of muffled moans. It was then that she noticed that she noticed that she was bound at the wrists and ankles
and gagged with duct tape. Lightning maneuvered her body so she was sitting against the wall with her knees brought up to her chest. She closed her eyes and rested her head against
the wall praying that her headache would go away. 'It feels like I was slammed into the ground under a five hundred pound sumo wrestler.' She thought just then the door to her to her cell
opened revealing her former superior Yaag Rosch.
Streets of Bowdam 3:40am
Serah had been walking for ten minutes when she had come to a stop when she noticed Lightning's Blaze Edge lying in the bushes. The young eighteen year old ran over to confirm it was
Lightning's when she saw the engraving: call upon my name. It was then that she knew it was Lightning's and a wave of immense worry swept over her as a nauseating feeling caused
her knees to tremble as she collapsed to the ground. 'Lightning would NEVER let this thing out of her sight, something must have happened.' After a few moments Serah went into the
convenience store with Lightning's sword. "Um Paul have you seen my sister?" Serah asked with a worried expression.
"Lightning? No. How come?"
"Well I found her sword in front of your store and you know she would never part ways with it." Serah explained nervously.
"Maybe the camera caught something."
Serah and Paul went to the security room at the back of the store and watched the footage what she saw sent a shiver up her spine. The tape showed Lightning fighting but losing, being
put to sleep and kidnapped. "Oh I'm sorry Serah, do you want me to notify the police" Paul asked concerned.
"No that was PSICOM the police wouldn't be able to do anything." Serah said in an upset tone. "Can I borrow this?"
"Yeah, good luck finding her." Paul replied. Serah bid him farewell and made her way back onto the street and gloomily headed in the direction of Snow's restaurant hoping he could help.
Renewed with hope that Snow would help her get Lightning back she started running about a half mile out. "Snow!" she burst through the front door yelling.
"Yo." Snow said in a broski like way.
"What's wrong?" asked a concerned Vanille.
"Umm well umm" at a loss for words from the long run Serah put the video tape in the VCR. Before the tape started playing Snow went and grabbed some instant popcorn from the pantry
and started munching loudly.
"Stop it." Serah scolded while knocking the bag out of his hands.
"Shit" Snow said after watching the footage "Light's been kidnapped?" he continued, Serah just stared at the ground afraid to talk because she would burst into tears.
"That was PSICOM right? that means they must have taken her to Eden." Vanille mumbled.
"Well lets go to the Capital of Commerce and go get her." Snow said as he stood up.
"Wait we can't just walk in there and say hello and talk about the weather with them they'll kill us and besides we won't get far with only three of us." Serah argued finally finding her voice.
"Let's get Sazh to help, him and Lightning are good friends so he wouldn't mind helping her and I also heard he has a crush on her." Vanille said.
"Now where did you hear that?" Snow argued.
"From people." Vanille replied.
"Who?" Snow continued to pester.
"You don't know them" Vanille concluded.
"Guys shut up!" Serah said stamping her foot on the ground. "Lets get Sazh and Vanille see if your cousin Fang will help."
Twenty minutes later there was a knock on the door and Snow went to answer it.
"Wait!" Vanille yelled across the room "Snow before you they come in I have to tell you that my cousin has a very noticable Australian accent and do not mention or make fun of it."
"More of accent than you?" Snow teased.
"Shut up oh and don't call her Sheila got it?" Vanille warned. Serah opened the door and them in, Sazh was wearing in usual green jacket with khaki pants. And Fang was wearing a blue
sari like thing with a black bra-shirt hybrid like Vanille's pink one, light brown boots just below the knee and black panties hidden by her sari, she also had black sleeve like material that ended
just below her elbows and on her left wrist she wore plenty of bracelets like Vanille. Fang used to work for the Sanctum like Lightning and Sazh but left them when she found out they were
hunting Vanille and her friends, Fang is twenty-five years old and four years older than Lightning. Fang looks at Lightning like a little sister and is very protective, Lightning also views
Fang as a older sister and would go to her when she had personal problems she was to embarrassed to tell Serah or didn't want to appear weak in front of her and Fang would always help
her through and they became close over the years. As Sazh and Fang came in Snow tried to preoccupy himself with not mentioning Fang's accent so he thought he'd comment on her name
instead. "So a Fang where did your parents come up with your name ha! and I thought Lightning's was weird!" Snow laughed.
"Shut the hell up you surfboarding broski buffoon! your name is Snow it's no better it makes you sound gay you faggot I'm surprised you even got a girlfriend let alone engaged!" Fang
screamed. "Sorry Serah." Fang said as she glanced over at her.
"Um hehe." Serah chuckled uncomfortably then ran over to Sazh to prevent Fang's screaming from damaging her eardrums.
"Yo" Sazh said and they carried on a conversation while Fang continued to verbally assault Snow.
"Vanille why'd didn't you tell me this idiot was going to be here?"
"Well he does own the place thought you'd expect him to be here." Vanille replied.
Fang sat down with a sigh and turned to Serah "What's up why are we all here?"
"Well Lightning umm err was kidnapped by PSICOM and we need help getting her back." Serah stammered. Fangs face fell and her eyes went dark and she looked extremely upset.
"Little sis was...kidnapped?" she asked. Serah just stared at the ground.
"Ah fuck I was gonna watch the Rams game today, leave it to your sister to ruin my day just like back in the army she would always give me the shitty jobs since she outranked me, oh and
when when she got her Blaze Edge I never heard the end of it about how she had one and how I didn't sorry for having football on my mind everyday of the week so I couldn't focus but
jeez they were playing the Seahawks that week it was a rivalry game in the NFC West for crying out loud and when-"
"Sazh shut the fuck up no one cares alright." Fang yelled.
"Well actually I do." Snow said.
"Uggh" Fang mumbled as she buried her head in her hands.
"Guys lets go already!" Serah said while running over and grabbing Lightning's Blaze Edge.
"What are you going to do with that? did little sis teach you how to use it?" Fang asked.
Serah smiled and said "Yup now lets go!" and with that they all went outside to start there adventure.
