Where am I?
I can barely think straight. The pain is almost unbearable. It's dark all around me, so I can't see a thing even though my eyes are open.
Claire?!
Dear gods, what happened to her?
I hear a few voices around me, but I can't seem to remember who they are. They all sound extremely familiar. Why can't I remember? I barely even remember what happened. All I know is that we were ambushed and...something. Geez, I don't remember at all. Maybe if I concentrate...
Is she gonna be okay?
I...I don't know.
You don't know?!
I'm sorry...
Claire!
Wait, I remember one of the voices now. It's, what was his name? Oh! Right! Lieutenant Amodar. Okay, everything's coming together now. We were on a mission when some creatures ambushed us. I got caught off guard and one of them got me. That explains all the pain. But, it doesn't explain the other voice. It sounds like a girl, but not just any girl. And how does she know my real name?
Claire! Don't leave me!
Who is this girl? Is she...crying? Why is she crying for me? I don't even remember who it is.
I clutch my side in agony. The pain distracts me and I let out a scream. All of a sudden, a soft light appears before me. I know it is death. I'm so tempted to give in because of the pain, but I feel like there's something I'm supposed to do. Like I'm supposed to keep living for something...But what was it?
SIIIIIISSS!!!
I gasp at the voice. I remember now! Fighting with all my strength, I push against the light and fight my way to consciousness.
"Serah," the word is merely a whisper. I open my eyes to see an almost mirror image of myself looking back at me. The same blue eyes, same pink hair, same face. Her cheeks are stained with tears and her eyes are slightly red and puffy. Apparently, my head is in her lap and she has my face in both hands. She gasps and her eyes go wide as she stares at me. "Don't cry," I whisper, reaching up to touch her cheek, "I'm fine."
"Lightning," she whispers at first, lip trembling. She puts a hand over mine. "You're okay," tears start running down her face again, "You're okay." She pulled me upward in a sort of hug, sobbing into my shoulder. I gasped in pain, but fought against it. I've been through worse and I've already put Serah through enough. I wrapped my uninjured arm around her. "I thought I lost you!" she shrieked through the tears.
"I'm sorry," I say. "But you of all people should know I would never do that. We've already lost our parents, you need me." She looks at me as I smile. "Just as I need you." She smiled, then started crying again.
2 days later.
I lay in bed with bandages covering my body. There's some wrapped around my entire torso along with my left arm and part of my right calf. Serah is right beside me. Ever since I got hurt, she has refused to leave my side. I observe my little sister as she sleeps soundly with her head against my shoulder and an arm stretched across my stomach. I smile to myself before falling back asleep as well.
She really is an angel.

So, this is a story I wrote for Final Fantasy XIII. Basically, Lightning gets hurt on a mission and Serah gets called out to where she is. There, she finds her in a comatose-like state.
This was all inspired by the song "Pale" by Within Temptation. Actually, mostly by a specific party of the song. It says:
"Oh, this night is too long
Have no strength to go on
No more pain I'm floating away
Through the mist I see the face
Of an angel, calls my name
I remember you're the reason I have to stay"
Instantly thought of them when I first heard this song. It's so beautiful

I do not own the Final Fantasy series or any of its associated characters or themes.
I also claim no ownership or affiliation with Within Temptation out any of their music. It's their soul property.
