DISCLAIMER: I don't own Final Fantasy 13 or Final Fantasy 13 Versus...Or else Lightning and Noctis would be in the same game XD

.:Chapter 8:.


-Noctis-

The goddess nodded and her cold, dead lips parted, "Now, Light of the Night Sky, I want you to listen very carefully…"

Noctis nodded and Etro continued.

"You have served me well, young Prince. But you will fall into a great trap A woman will betray you, and your kingdom will fall."

Noctis raised an eyebrow.

"Who is this woman?" he asked

"The girl is someone who you trust. She is a part of your future, even though you do not realize it."

Someone who he trusted? Could it be Lightning?

"But Etro, why would they do this?"

The goddess paused, dead eyes probing.

"That information I cannot reveal to you." She said after a while

"Why not!" Noctis demanded

A cynical laugh came from Etro.

"Young Prince, do not forget your place. I am a goddess and you are merely human. Touched by the crystal, yes, but that does not mean you can demand information when I deem it inappropriate to tell you."

Noctis scowled but complied.

"I am sorry, goddess." He said and bowed

Satisfied, the goddess raised a hand towards him.

"Now Noctis Lucis Caelum, I bid you farewell and good luck." She said

Noctis was surrounded in dark light and in an instant; he was back in his room.

-Lightning-

She was at his front door.

Taking in deep breaths, the assassin walked towards the large, dark mahogany door and stopped in front of it.

Closing her eyes and taking in a deep breath, she made her hand into a fist.

Slowly, she reached for the door and hesitated.

Did she really want to do this? No.

She felt like she was betraying him. He was still her friend after all…was he? Lightning shook her head.

He wasn't her friend. He was a traitor, a murderer.

But…why did she feel bad about doing this?

Somehow, her hand moved up and met the door with a Knock, Knock.

She heard footsteps coming towards her and the large door opened.

A man with dark hair and glasses stood before her, frowning.

"What do you want?" he asked

"I came to see the Prince." She answered

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No."

"Then leave."

The man began to close the door when Lightning grabbed his arm. The man raised an eyebrow.

"I need to see him," she said, "I'm an old friend of his. I'm Lightning."

The man's eyebrows shot up, and his eyes widened.

"Your Lightning?" he asked in a surprised tone

"Yeah."

"Well then, come this way."

He beckoned her to follow.

"I'm David by the way." He said as they walked through the hall.

"Nice to meet you." Lightning replied

Looking around, Lightning saw that the palace was filled with portraits and vast numbers of different features. She guessed most palaces were like this.

"It's very beautiful." She commented

"Yes it is." David nodded

After going up a large amount of stairs, they came to a wooden door.

That is Noctis's room.

David hesitated for a moment then knocked.

"What is it?" groaned Noctis

Lightning's heart was pounding. He was on the other side of that door.

David replied, "Someone's here to see you."

"Enter." Noctis said

David opened the door and she entered.

This was going to be interesting…

-Noctis-

I…It wasn't possible. It couldn't happen! No way would that ever happen.

Noctis was lying on his bed, thinking about what Etro had just told him.

She wouldn't do that…would she?

He knew she was mad at him, but he knew her well enough to know she wouldn't carry out a plan like that.

Etro's words echoed eerily in his head.

A woman will betray you, and your kingdom will fall.

The woman from the prophecy. It couldn't possibly be Lightning. She was angry with him, but she wouldn't do something like that. She wasn't like that.

Sighing, Noctis closed his eyes and tried to go to sleep.

He decided he would think about this later.

Breathing in, he was about to fall asleep when a Knock came from his door.

Noctis groaned. "What is it?"

David's voice came from the other end. "Someone's here to see you."

"Enter."

The door opened and Noctis shot up, eyes widening and mouth in the shape of an 'O'.

David and the other individual entered.

Noctis couldn't keep his eyes off the person.

"Lightning? Is that you?"
