Chapter 21
"Are you okay Noc?" Promto was the first to speak, "yeah, I'm fine, thanks Ignis for helping me out there. How did you even know what was the cause?"
"I have been studying your royal necklaces for some time now, it was only a theory I had for some time now, but today you just proved it," Ignis explained with a smirk on his face, he was so happy like a child getting a new toy, for finding this out.
Before Noctis could speak, someone else chimed in, "wait, let me get this straight, you meant to say to me, that you didn't even know it could work!" Gladiolus, that was silent the whole time, spoke loud enough, making Promto almost jump out of skin.
Promto was in the beginning, always careful with Gladiolus, he heard that Glad has a little of a temper on him, but as he got to know him, he found out that he isn't so bad. Gladiolus is the muscle in the group, and also the eldest. Glad takes his job very seriously. He also likes to speak his mind, which usually scares Promto, because Glad never speaks softly, and with his gruff voice, it makes it extra scary.
The others don't pay much attention to it, but Promto still isn't use to the way he speaks.
"Well, it is true, I didn't know it would work, but in the end it did, so instead of trying to find fault in the way that I did it, try thanking me," Ignis said in a matter-of-fact tone, earning a mumble from Gladiolus.
At that moment, Noctis remembered something that Ignis
That's when realization hit him.
"Noctis, what is it, you're very pale?" Promto asked.
"Snow, s-she.... she...." Noctis struggled to speak, he didn't know why he didn't realise it sooner.
His friends then also realised what he was trying to say, but before they could say anything, Noctis took off in the direction that Snow went earlier in the evening.
.....
Snow could feel her body weakening, she lost to much blood, and she could feel her power being drained from her. She wondered if this is how it's going to end, she didn't even put up much of a fight so how was she even going to beat Rafël?
Suddenly, out of no where, she heard someone yelled, the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't think straight.
She felt herself drop from Demonic's hand, landing with a thud on the gra.s.s.
She forced her eyes open, her vision was blurry, but she could make out the outlines of the prince and his friends fighting Demonic. Prince Noctis was using full power, not holding back. He did take a few hits, but it was evident that he wasn't going to give up.
She tried to keep her eyes open, but after a few more seconds, she couldn't anymore, and her world fell into darkness.
After a few more minutes of battle, Noctis got through his defenses.
He was so angry when he found this guy choking the life out of Snow. His blood boiled at the site of it. His friends was not far behind ant they helped him free Snow from his grasp.
Noctis didn't wait a second more and drove his sword right through the guys hart. It wasn't easy getting through his defenses, because the way he was fighting reminded Noctis of how Snow is fighting, and their power is very much the same.
Noctis was used to fighting with Snow, otherwise he wouldn't even have noticed all of these things.
The guy crumbled to the floor, dead.
Noctis had a few blood spots on his clothes, part of it was the guy's blood and the other part of it was his blood. Noctis looked around and spotted Snow immediately, he rushed over and knelt down at her side, her eyes was closed. He checked her pulse quickly, she was still alive, but it was very weak.
His friends came to his side after making sure the other guy was dead. Noctis noticed the blood on her shoulder and knew that the bond was all to real.
He gently picked her up in his arms, and said, "we have to get her to a hospital fast, or otherwise she's not going to make it." The others gave a short nod in agreement.
"We came here with the Regalia, so it should make it easier for us," Ignis explained.
They went around the back to avoid any suspicion, and in a few minutes they were in the car, named Regalia. It symbolises freedom and it belongs to the prince, but his friends borrows it from time to time.
In a few more minutes they were at the hospital, Snow was taking in immediately by the dokters, making Noctis and his friends wait outside.
