Chapter 35
Noctis told Snow she could stay, at leats untill he leaves.
When they arrived, some of the girls were already busy warming up and they turned to look at who came trough the door.
"Looks like its becoming a habit for people to stare." Yuna said, stopping to look around.
"Just don't mind them, we're here to train, remember." Snow said, walking past Yuna to go to her usual spot.
"You're girl who danced with the prince right?" one girl came to ask Snow.
Snow turned around to face her, and she looks rather young, not older than 21, Snow thinks.
"Well, it depends, the prince danced with a lot of people last night."
The girl hummed in response, "but you were the girl who he danced first with."
Snow nodded and saw the girl giggling with her friends, before another one said, "you are so lucky," and twirled a piece of hair around her finger.
Snow only smiled and saw Cid walking through the doors.
"Okay everyone places please, I'm glad you're back Snow, we need everyone we have left, because as you know, the recent attacks has injured a lot of our members." Cid said while walking to the front of the room with confidence.
Snow wished she could have that confidence like Cid.
Everyone took their places and began training after Cid finished talking.
Yuna and Snow trained together for a while before Snow went on her own. They practised their throwing, defence, and offence. Also how to stand their ground.
Snow checked the clock to see that and hour has pa.s.sed, and she is already sweating.
"Bang!"
A load sound could suddenly be heard, making everyone stop with what their doing. Then someone came in running, panting hard from the run.
"Cid, we're..... we're under attack..... again, the demons, they've.... they've gotten through the barrier!"
Cid stood still only for a moment, then she began yelling orders.
"Lia! Go get Athena, tell her to get her troops out there and make sure the civilians are safe."
"Right."
"You,-" Cid pointed to the girl who came in to alert Cid of the demons, "go inform the king and prince if this."
"The rest of you,-" she turned to us, "head out, and go take care of those demons!"
Everybody jumped to action, gathering weapons and putting on their armer. One by one they headed out.
Snow was one of the first to get out.
This demon was big, at least seven stories long, and he was most definitely not thin. To make matters worse, he was completely made out of stone.
"We got one, big, fat ugly monster on our hands."
Snow turned around and saw Cinthea stand behind her. She had her crossbow in her hand, ready to shoot when needed.
The demon must've heard her comment because before Snow could reply, he gave a big roar, and came stopping toward them.
"Cinthea, I think you made him mad." Snow said, trying to keep her balance.
"What? It's not my fault he's ugly," Cinthea said.
The demon then pulled a big rock out of the ground and threw it at Cinthea out of anger being called ugly.
When Cinthea saw this, she screamed and covered her head.
Snow felt a familiar energy inside her growing. She felt herself moving in front of Cinthea, throwing her hands up and realising that energy that she felt.
The rock came to a stop in mid air. When nothing hit Cinthea, she looked up.
"Oh wow, Snow, it's the summit power." Cinthea said, all of her screaming being forgotten.
Snow only rolled her eyes and focused all her attention on the rock, still floating in the air.
She pushed her arms forward and threw the rock back to demon. He didn't expect this, so he was to slow to dodge the rock. It smashed against his stomach and the rock broke into tiny pieces.
Cinthea bended over laughing, then went silent looking up, with a new found look in her eyes.
"lets do this." she said with a sly smile, pulling out her crossbow and in one swift move she aimed it and shot at the demon. The arrow hitting him between the eyes.
Snow fired a ball of fire at him, sending him a few steps back.
Suddenly a blue streak was seen. This person was flas.h.i.+ng here and there, making cuts where ever he goes.
He then came to land next to Snow, when he sheathed his sword, the demon went crumbling to the ground.
"Its so nice for you to join us, you're majesty." Snow said smiling.
"Its nice being here Snow, sorry for not coming sooner, me and my father had some run ins at the palace." Noctis said, turning to Snow.
"Its fine, Noctis, I take it you took care of it?"
"Of course, that's my speciality." Noctis said with a sly smile.
Snow only nodded looking for any more demons to deal with. A short time after that Noctis headed off to deal with other monsters.
Snow and Cinthea also went their separate ways not soon after.
Snow saw Yuna and a few other people fighting a similar demon as she and Cinthea did.
Snow jumped from the rooftop she was on and landed next to Yuna.
She helped them to kill the demon and wanted to start moving on to the next one, but Snow got this gnawing feeling something wasn't right. When she turned around to face Yuna, whom was talking to the others, something caught Snow's eye.
When she looked into that direction, Snow saw how the demon still moved. She looked back toward Yuna, the people she talked to was walking away.
Snow looked back and forth between Yuna and the monster, but when she was certain he was still alive she wanted to warn Yuna. Before she could do that Snow saw how he lifted his hand and aimed it at Yuna.
Snow became very alert, and yelled at Yuna to watch out, but she didn't hear. Snow was already on the move trying to get Yuna's attention.
Lava came out of the demon's hand, aimed straight at Yuna.
"Yuna!"
