This is me now…


A/N:
Okay, so it's my first time doing this. At least on Fanfiction.net. I'm pretty nervous, but hey that's the joys of writing. My story follows the concept of final fantasy 10 and X-2. Just not the same, same story line somewhat, but made up characters based on my friends and what not. Final Fantasy belongs to Squaresoft/Square Enix and the creators of the Final Fantasy series, all rights belong to them.



Chapter 1: Decisions




As far as she was concerned, her father had always been dead to her, even when the word was that he was indeed dead, she still felt unaffected by his death. She walked and watched as people mourned endlessly, for the man she had hated so. Her hatred for him was unexplainable. Her mother acted normally, it had been almost nearly 10 years since he’d left, maybe that was why she felt no compassion for him as her brother did, constantly he’d question her why she showed no remorse for him, she’d scoff in disgust and turn on her heel and run to the secret place she’d fallen in love with on the small island of besaid, there she’d cry in despair, out of anger, out of betrayal, out of the desperate need to feel her father hug her one last time as he did when she was a child.

But Amanda had grown, she’d changed and developed into her own person, she was no longer the little girl her father would call his princess, she would never even hear him call her by her name ever again. The wind caressed her hair softly as it blew out of her eyes, she had her knees crushed to her chest as she was perched up slightly on the rock. The smell of salty sea water lurked in the light, gentle breeze as she allowed it to perk up her senses as it always did.

“Why is it every time your mother asks me to go find you, you always some how manage to be here?” The male voice asked, disturbing her train of thought, she released her gaze of the sunset and turned to look at the dark haired male. “Andrew…” She said softly. He smiled at her lightly before coming to sit beside her. “How you been?” He asked, tossing the blitz ball at hand catching it swiftly each time right before it hit the ground. “Fine I guess,” She replied with a shrug. He glanced at her, his greenish brown eyes locking onto her own hazy chocolate brown eyes, which seemed to say “Leave me alone…” He starred long and hard at her. “Liar…spill it, what’s eaten ya?” He asked before standing up and kicking the ball which soared threw mid air, neither of them knowing where it would land.

“It’s my dad I guess…” She said softly. He stopped in his tracks. “Lord Braska?” He asked, he fell silent, as he watched her nod her head, she had her hair covering her face as she starred down at the ground, where she nudged at the sand as it got inside her sandal. He bit his lip briefly before plopping down on the ground. “Let Yevon be with him…” He said quietly. She looked back up at him, the tears twinkling in them. Pain swarmed his insides, holding back the embrace he wished to pull her in. She gave off a heart aching laugh before wiping away the useless tears. “Such a fool.” She smiled behind the dried tears, her hands clasped together. “Your right, praise be to Yevon.” She smiled, before running to the edge of the higher grounds she had become use to climbing. She stopped and looked back. “Dryhg oui…” She said, He said nothing but watched as she jumped. He stood there for a few moments, listening to her attempts of running threw the thickness of the sand, until finally it went silent, and all that could be heard was the commanding shouts of the captain for the Besaid Aurochs.

“Manda!” The voice of a perky Al Bhed girl called, Amanda stopped walking and turned to look at the long haired blonde running up to her. She stopped running and attempted to catch her breath. “Hey, W-where have you been?” She panted. Amanda laughed, “I’ve been around… and you?” She asked, examining the well dressed girl, The shorts hugging onto her tiny hips, The bikini top was wet, like she had gone swimming, her hair drenched, the smell of sea water coming off of her, the sand sticking to her bare feet. “Livy…” She asked grinning ever so slyly. “Uhh yeah?” She asked, blinking and starring at her suspiciously. Amanda sighed, before plopping onto the beach grounds. “What would you say if I told you I wanna become a summoner?” She asked, Livy starred at her long and hard before sitting down next to her. “I don’t know…That would be kinda cool I guess…bringing the calm to Spira…” She trailed on, a voice interrupted there discussion “Of course it would be cool, I mean think about it how often do you see someone we know bring the calm…excluding Lord Braska… cause we didn’t really know him…” She ended of quietly, They turned to look at the short black mage, her hair pulled back in a slick bun.

“Hi Mel.” Livy said softly. Melissa pulled the black thick dress up slightly before sitting down next to them, moggle doll at hand. “Hi you two…” She said softly, examining Amanda carefully, knowing she’d been rather quiet lately. “So your going to become a summoner?” She asked. Amanda shrugged, “I don’t really know…I mean…the fayth has to accept me first and stuff…” “And you’ll need guardians Manda…how about us?” Livy chirped, the smile brimming on the edges of her mouth. Amanda grinned. “Yeah a black mage and an Al Bhed, great combination” She laughed. Melissa acted offended. “What’s wrong with black mages?” She laughed. “Nothing.” She replied smiling. Livy laid down, and made a sand angel. “God I love this place…But…I can’t stay.” she said with a sigh. Amanda and Melissa stopped, and looked at her. “What?” Livy sat up. “Guess I should have told you sooner… Dad’s taking us back to Djose tomorrow…” She trailed on, resting her chin on her knees. “Why?” Melissa asked, starring at her searching for answers. “Dad wants to meet the leader of the machina forces…Says they’ve got a son, whose like 2 years older than me…you know my dad, already planning arranged marriages.” Livy sighed, thinking about her father, leader of the Al Bhed. Amanda stood up. Glancing at two of her best friends she said nothing before stalking off. “What’s with her?” Livy asked, Melissa sighed. “You guys are like cousins Livy…this island is to small to go anywhere, we have to take a boat to get to Luca for god sakes let alone Kilika…Djose is like on the other side of the world… she obviously wants to go on this pilgrimage thing…and your leaving…” Mel said quietly. Livy bit her lip. “What should I do?” she QUESTIONED, Melissa stood up before dusting herself off, “You tell me.” she responded before walking away.
