It's new chapter! I saved my ideas and wrote this chapter immediately. I'm so sorry that I didn't write the disclaimer because I forgot to write it. I hope you'll like this chapter. By the way I use Lulu from Final Fantasy X to be Catalina's aunt in this story.
For A reader, thank you very much for the review. All I can say are:

I know that I really suck at grammar, so at the first time I wanted to write this story in my country's language (Bahasa), but I think there would not be any reader for this story, so I tried my best to write it. I'm really sorry for the mistakes in grammar.

FYI, I didn't write the details because I want to write them little by little in next chapters.

If you think this character is Mary Sue, it's alright, because I haven't published the entire chapters. c'mon, it's only first chapter. Or maybe it is *chuckle*

I don't have time to correct my grammar with beta readers because I have so many activities besides writing fanfic. If you want to edit it, you're welcome to do it. Just post it to your account :D

I hope you'll understand it. I'm sorry for the problem :3

Thank you for your review Kitty Lover. I really appreciate it. :D

It had been two days since the incident. She was helping her aunt in a shop. Her aunt was a florist. She loved helping her aunt because she liked flowers too. There were many orders from the castle, so they worked harder than usual. At that time Catalina was wrapping the flowers' bouquet while her aunt was cutting the stalks to make the flowers in a same length.

"Why there are so many orders from the castle? Is there going to be a big party?" Catalina asked Lulu.

"Tomorrow will be a Holy Snow party. It's a sacred day in winter, because there was a legend "when we celebrate the day we'll be blessed in a whole year," Her aunt explained her. She shocked when she heard that. Her body trembled slowly. What a luck, she thought.

"What's wrong dear?" She asked.

"It's about my mission. Actually my mission is to protect the one who was blessed by God in the Holy day every winter. I think I have to go to the party, so I'll know whom I protect," She answered.

"But how will you know that person?" Her aunt asked, giving her the flowers.

"An ancient book said that the person is someone that can communicate with the winter spirits. At least there will be a winter spirit in that place. I have had a conversation with some of them but they said they never met that person."

"Then it's a good chance. I'll buy you a beautiful dress for the party," Her aunt smiled lightly. Catalina waved slowly. "It's okay. I brought some dresses here. I thought that I would need them." She wondered what kind of party that would be. There were parties in her hometown, but there weren't many big and tall buildings like this city. But still it was always beautiful and fun.

"By the way.." Her aunt stopped her thought. "You did tell me about your meeting with Prince Noctis, right? What do you think about him?" She nudged Catalina's shoulder. There were tiny tomatoes on her cheeks.

"I can't deny that he's perfect. His handsome face, his muscular body, he's really flawless. His eyes are so cold and he has a strong expression," She answered lightly. Her aunt chuckled, caused her whole face became as red as tomato. "Wh-what?" She snorted and Lulu couldn't resist her laughter anymore. Now I looked like an idiot, she thought, waiting her aunt to stopped laughing.

"*chuckle* I'm sorry dear, it's the first time I heard you talking about a man and I think you're not really experienced with this kind of thing." Lulu wiped away her tears lightly.

"I apologize if I'm not experienced enough, but I really am, because school life was so strict that I couldn't have enough free time to think about that," She pouted. Her aunt felt a little guilty.

"Don't worry dear; you'll face that thing soon. Just give it time," She calmed Catalina down, smiling softly.

"I have already faced that thing since I met that drunken old man in your store," She protested, making her aunt to laugh again.


One day later

The castle was full of people, especially the main hall. People were chatting, dancing, laughing, eating, or just enjoying the atmosphere. Catalina was standing alone between peoples, leaving her aunt so she could stay focus on her mission. She wore a mint green short sleeves dress that almost reached her knees, made from satin. She also wore a white pearl belt and a silver necklace. White high heels covered her foot. She wears her hair in a bun and put a green ribbon on it. She tried to find winter spirit, ignoring some men who were trying to get her attention, but she found nothing. Sighing deeply, she went to the outside, hoping that she would find some. The lights were very pretty, but moonlight was still the best for her. She admired the beauty from the window when she was walking in the hallway to the balcony.

Then she halted her step. She heard a quiet conversation at the balcony. She hid herself behind a column so she could overhear it. She took a peep. She saw Prince Noctis with a winter spirit. It's still hazy but she could hear some of their conversation.

"Did you really see it, your highness? The fairy, I mean," It asked, its pointy ears twitching with every word it said. It had big eyes and wore a blue shirt and white shorts.

"Yeah, and I'm sure that it is a fairy. It's a woman. That was the first time I saw a fairy. Do they live in human world?" Prince Noctis asked.

"Some of them, yes, but not that many. They like flowers and trees, so they usually don't like this kind of environment. I think they live here because they have their missions or getting married with human," It answered, uninterested.

" Mission? What kind of mission?" He asked again. It sighed lowly.

"How should I know? Besides, I'm certain that they won't do any harm for you and this kingdom, in fact they always help human with many things," It answered, beginning to feel annoyed. "I have to go. My friends are waiting for me. If you'll excuse me," It flew away. He stood there for a moment, thinking of something. She bit her lip. She couldn't believe this.

So the one whom I protect is the prince? This is crazy. I don't know if I can do this, not when the prince is growing suspicious at me, she thought. She went back; unfortunately losing her balance, causing her step became so loud that he could hear it. He looked back.

"Who's there?" He asked. She cursed herself for being so clumsy. She ran fast. Feeling something was wrong, he ran to the sound. He saw a brown haired woman was running, so he tried to catch her. Catalina looked back and saw the prince was chasing after her. She was trying to run faster but she couldn't because she wore high heels. Noctis caught her easily, grabbing her arm. She turned back forcefully, seeing his eyes widened at her.

"You? What are you doing here?" He asked coldly. She was loss at words. She was confused, told him the truth or made a lie. Both of them would be disadvantage for her. She bit her lip slowly.

"I—"

"Your highness!" A man was in hurry to Noctis. Noctis looked at him but not letting her go.

"What is it, Prompto?"

"Some guardsmen saw two gargoyles were flying to here," He answered worryingly.

"What? We have to hurry." He began to walk, then he remembered about her.

"Prompto, please stay with this young woman. Make sure she won't go anywhere," He asked Prompto.

"What? With this cute one? My pleasure, your highness," He answered, smiling widely. Noctis nodded lightly to him. After glaring at her he went away.

Minutes passed as they stood awkwardly. Prompto winked at her many times but she just looked away, making him frustrated. Catalina was thinking hardly how she could escape from this situation. She couldn't just fly like she used to or he would become suspicious too. She glanced at him. He's actually cute. His hair was blonde. He was shorter than Noctis but still tall and muscular. He wore white tuxedo that fit him perfectly. He brought a shotgun on his hand. Tux and shotgun, what a wonderful combination, she thought, smiling lightly. Finally he gave up.

"I'm sorry that I make you uncomfortable. May I know your name?" He asked, stretching out his hand. She gaped at him disbelievingly. After a moment she gave her hand, feeling unsure.

"My name is Catalina Nix Alba. You can call me Catalina," She answered lightly. He smiled widely.

"What a beautiful name, same as the owner. My name is Prompto. I'm Noctis bodyguard and his best friend," He said. She made an "o" with her mouth. "By the way what is the relationship between you and Noctis. Are you his friend? Or his girlfriend?" She shook her head, blushing lightly.

"N-no I'm not. Actually—"

Suddenly the windows were broken and three gargoyles were coming in. They made disgusting sounds that they really wanted to eat them. One of them was shot by Prompto before it could be in the hallway, falling down. The other ones stepped back a little, groaning with anger.

"So there aren't just two of them. You stay back. I'll…," He saw her with a bow surprisingly. She smirked at him.

"I'll stay back, so I can support you," She talked calmly; ready to engage in the battle. She casted a spell to make frozen arrows. Prompto smirked at her. "That's nice," He said.

He shot another gargoyle, ran to it, and then kicked it hardly. It fell down. Catalina shot the other many times. It stepped back weakly and lost conscious. She smiled widely, but stopped when she saw to her side.

"Prompto, behind you!" She called him. He looked behind. Around fifteen gargoyles were running to them. Blinking hardly, he cursed angrily.

"Holy shit. There are many of them. Run!" He commanded her. Then they ran as fast as they could. Catalina cursed herself mentally when she remembered that she wore high heels. Prompto saw her expression and understood. He lowered his speed so he would be behind her. Suddenly he lifted her and carried her bridal style. Catalina let out a shriek, couldn't believe what happened. She encircled her arms to his neck, afraid that she would fall. But he's strong so that would not happen.

"Wh-what are you doing?" She muttered despite her blush.

"One of services for cute ladies?" He murmured, winking at her. "But I think I have to give you another right now," He warned her. She looked in front of them. There were glass windows. She looked in horror.

"You've got to be kidding, right?" She hoped that what she thought was not true. He smirked lightly. They almost broke through when he asked, "Hold on tight!" Then they fell down.

There was never in her fantasy that she would fell down from fifteenth floor without using her wings. Closing her eyes, she gripped on him tightly. Because of the wind her ribbon was freed from her hair. Her hair was loose at that time, shining from the moonlight. Thankfully they fell to a pool. There was a loud splash sound in the quiet night. She thought that was a good time to escape. She freed herself from Prompto and used her wings to fly quickly despite the coldness of the water. When she was out of the pool she casted a blizzard to the gargoyles to make them afraid. They did and flew away, and then in one swift movement she flew to find her aunt.


Noctis had finished his job when Prompto went to him. He saw Prompto soaked wet, without that fairy. Prompto shivered, chattering his teeth. He glared at him.

"Where's the woman?" He asked.

"Too bad. She managed to escape. Not only cute, she's energetic too. I'm sorry," He apologized, caressing his wet hair. Noctis sighed deeply.

"This accident must be because of her. I have to catch her fast," Noctis murmured coldly.
