Fate of Two Worlds

Four - Bodhum Fireworks Display

As night fell over the city of Bodhum Claire and Natasha were at the NORA bar on the beachfront. "I'm going to the beach Natasha" Claire said getting off her stool and walking out of the bar entrance. Natasha then got off her stool and left the bar, walking in the direction of her home. She then took a detour and walked along the beach near the dome where the fireworks were being launched from. Natasha then stopped to look at the beautiful fireworks display. "Major Natasha" said a voice from behind her. As she turned around Natasha saw Serah. "Hi Serah, and its just Natasha. I'm off duty now" said Natasha looking back to the fireworks. "There are very beautiful aren't they." Serah said staring at the fireworks. "They are special fireworks by the way Serah." Natasha said looking at Serah. "How so" Serah asked looking at Natasha. "They grant wishes. Speaking of which you and Ghost have something special don't you" Natasha said walking closer to the sea. "Yeah we do." said Serah blushing a little. "Natasha" shouted someone from down the beach. As the person approached Natasha recognised the person as her mother Claire. "Hey mum. I have something I need to tell you" Natasha said looking at Claire. "Tell me later, Serah you and your friend can stay with us tonight if you want to otherwise Snow and the others will let you stay at NORA house." Claire said looking down at Serah. "Thank you Claire, I'll see Ghost and see what he wants to do." said Serah as she started to run down the beach. "Come back here if he agrees." shouted Natasha in Serah's direction. "I think i'll go home Natasha. I'll see you in the morning." Said Claire walking back to the transport unit and then it sped off in the direction of Natasha's home. Then Serah and Ghost came up to Natasha. "Well what's your answer then" asked Natasha. "We are happy to join you Natasha." said Ghost looking at Natasha and then Serah. They then all walked to the Farron house. Serah then stopped to look at the fireworks display and after a few minutes she ran to catch up with Ghost and Natasha.

After half an hour Natasha, Serah and Ghost arrived at a elegant three story house. The front was covered with flowers and the porch was painted ice white. The whole building was made from bricks that had steel rods placed between the bricks to reinforce the sturcture. "Well this is where I live. What do you think?." Natasha asked them looking at them. "Its a nice house Natasha." Serah said looking back at Natasha's dark blue eyes. "Thanks, It's my mothers house Serah." Natasha said looking back towards the house. "Your mothers, you mean you don't have your own home" Ghost said as he approached Natasha. "Ghost please stop" Serah asked as she looked at Ghost. "Ghost i know things happen differently where you come from, But you two are welcome to sleep in the same room. Just make sure you're quiet." Natasha said walking up the steps onto the porch. and unlocking the door. After opening the door she then walked through it leaving Ghost and Serah outside the house.

As Natasha walked up the marble staircase she began to unclip her shoulder pad. After she uncliped the last clip she held the shoulder pad in her left hand and opened her bedroom door with the other one. Walking into her room she heard the front door close and then closed her room door. She then got undressed and clcimbed into her bed and fell into a deep sleep. While Natasha was sleeping images of a white stone temple appeared in her dreams and then she saw Serah and Ghost fighting something. "Natasha wake up" shouted a voice waking Natasha up from her sleep only to see Demitri staring at her. "Demitri, do you mind" Natasha said suprised to see him in her room. "Sorry Natasha, Claire went out with Serah and asked me to wake you up before I left" Demitri said walking to the door. He then took Natasha's dressing gown off its peg and threw it to the end of the bed where Natasha's feet were. "What do you mean before you left?" asked Natasha. Demitri then opened the door and went through, closing it after him. Realising that something was wrong Natasha flung the bed cover to the side and then put on her dressing gown. She then put on her necklace that had a blue gem on it. She then opened her door, walked through it and then closed it behind her. She then walked quietly to the spare room and opened the door. As she looked into the room she saw Serah and Ghost asleep in the bed together. Natasha then closed the door so she didn't wake them up, and then walked down the stairs and into the living room.

In the living room was a large brown leather sofa. Next to the sofa on the floor was a rectangle rug that had a gold lace trim going around the edge of it. "You're up then" said Demitri coming out off the kitchen holding a bowl of cereal. "When did you decide to leave Demitri" Natasha asked sitting down on the sofa. "What are you talking about Natasha. I'm not leaving" Demitri said to Natasha still standing in the doorway to the kitchen. "Really then why are you packed and all of the things you own are on your ship." Natasha said looking at Demitri who was going back into the kitchen. "I was going to tell you and Claire but she left before i could tell her." Demitri said walking back into the living room. The front door then opened and Claire walked through followed by Serah who was carrying bags full of babies clothes. "I'm going up stairs to rest." Serah said walking up the stairs and going into her room. "Well Demitri are you leaving us then?" Claire asked walking into the living room. "Yes I was going to tell you when you were about to leave. But then you left before I could tell you." Demitri said walking to the back door towards his ship. A red warp gate then opened in front of the back door stopping Demitri from getting to his ship. "What is a warp gate doing here." Claire asked looking at Natasha and then Demitri. "I don't know why but i'm getting dressed." Natasha said standing up and then walking up the stairs. "What's wrong with her" Demitri asked walking to Claire. "How should I know" said Claire.

After ten minutes Natasha came down the stairs fully dressed in her clothes that she wore from the Vestige before PSICOM destroyed it. "I'm going through the warp gate Mum and don't try to stop me." Natasha said handing Claire her gun-blade. "We don't even know where it goes to." Demitri said walking over to Natasha. "I do" Said Natasha walking over to the gate. As Natasha walked to the gate an image of a white temple. Natasha then walked through the gate and it then closed after her.
