Not my pic but cool.

Since this morning, the boys and me were discussing what happened in the Mafia mansion. Of course, I told lies to hid the truth which worked but the Marshal looked skeptical at my words as always. It was decided that I no longer venture alone without one of them with me. Great...The Kinglavies investigated the Mafia mansion and what had happened. They found more bodies of the Mafia and concluded that the organization was wiped out completely. For once, they don't think it's me but the Giver. Ignis told me that the Giver has always done something violent but this current murder took it to a new level of insanity. Every Kinglavies were on alert to capture the Giver but to be cautious. Including the Chocobros were warned to do the same as me. After three months have passed, the gang and I were training. Gladiolus and I were sparing in the training room. My hands held a claymore sword with much weight as I swung the metal that clashed with Gladiolus's sword. Prompto and Ignis were watching from the sidelines. After a good hour sword match, we both called it quits. It was weird for Noctis not to be with us but he had to go to a meeting with his father. As the boys were chatting away, my mind wandered to my meeting with Medusa.

flashback: Grid world

"What about my Grid world, Medusa?"
"Don't play innocent, (y/n)! How was that woman in your Grid world?!" For the first time in my life, my eyes were on Medusa who is livid on anger and I unconsciously took a step back near Ardyn. He sensed me being uncomfortable and said,
"Medusa, you know very well that (y/n) doesn't know who that woman is. She is confused as much as you are."
Medusa gave Ardyn a glare
"Come now, dear. (Y/n) has only done what is asked of her. Please calm down, my love." Ardyn said as Medusa began to calm down, she sighed and her eyes traveled to me.
"Forgive me, (y/n). Ignored what I asked you. Ignored the woman as well; she is nothing but a waste of space." Medusa said as I nodded my head, my feet lead me away from my hiding spot and went to Medusa.
"That is alright, Medusa." I replied
"Let's talk about your Grid world. I have been monitoring your systems recently and I came across a virus." Medusa said as I raised an eyebrow in disbelief
"I know, it's hard to believe. But it's true; I checked it myself ten times and even brought Ardyn to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me."
"I'm glad she brought me here; I feel extra special." Ardyn chimed as Medusa and I shivered in disgusted.
"What virus is it?" I asked
"It's called Blue Z. It was a an old virus used to kill the magitecks but at a price; it kills humans as well. The creators stopped making the virus but couldn't keep it locked away."
"How was I infected?" I asked
"Hmmm. It's a good question but my guess is that the Giver gave you some of the Blue Z but luckily it's a small douse." Medusa said
"I wouldn't be so calm about the matter through. This virus has no cure which is tricky." Ardyn added as Medusa nodded in response
"Indeed but I'm creating cure as we speak. In the meantime, don't use the grid world unless you really need it. I have maintaine nanobots inside you already to reconfigure this matter. Understood?"
"Understood, Medusa." I said
"One more matter to clear up, my daughter. Are you close to gaining the prince's trust?"

End of flashback

"Hey there, buddy! Welcome back!" Prompto said as his voice snapped me out of reality, my eyes saw Noctis walking towards us in different attire than his normal outfit. He is wearing a black suit with skull cuff lines as the buttons with the black tie and black dress shoes. I raised an eyebrow and said,

"You look one of those people who sell bad product, goth."

Noctis's friends chuckled at my comment and Noctis snorted.

"Not funny, Alice." Noctis said as he loosened his tie and sighed

"I'm surprised at your actions lately, Noctis." Ignis said

"Why? I just went to a meeting, Specs." Noctis replied

"That's true but you hate meetings and use me to fill in for you. To add on to that, you have been talking to the council." Ignis said as Prompto quickly looked at Noctis in shock and Gladiolus raised an eyebrow.

"Come to think of it, you haven't complained when I train your sorry ass." Gladiolus added

"Yeah, you also haven't tried to kill me when I do crazy stuff." Prompto added

Noctis just stared at his friends not getting the point and replied,

"Is this going somewhere?"

"Noctis, you have changed or a least a little by a fair lady." Ignis said as his eyes were on me, I was confused on why his eyes were on me and asked,

"What, four-eyes? Did I do something wrong? What is this fair lady, four-eyes?"

"You have done nothing, Alice except made the our future King do his duty." Ignis replied while ignoring my question with a smirk at Noctis who slightly blushed and retorted,

"Alice made me do nothing!"

"Not true, vegetable hater. I made you get your greens." I said as Prompto and Gladiolus chuckled

"...Whatever.." Noctis said

"Hey vegetable hater, I got a new dish for you to eat."

Noctis cursed himself as I was about to tell him, a maid came inside the training room and told Noctis that King Regis needed him. Noctis mumbled 'thank Etro' and followed the maid. Then Nyx came inside the training room as he passed Noctis, they had a short glare and ignored each other. Men are strange...Nyx came to me with a big smile and said,
"Hey Alice! Just the girl I wanted to see!"
"Womanizer, don't touch me."
"Geez, girl. I won't unless you want me too. I want to take you out for dinner!" Nyx said as Ignis sighed, Gladiolus grinned in amusement and Prompto just looked shocked. I'm confused and asked,
"Take me out to dinner?"
"Yeah, I know this great restaurant downtown. You haven't explored the city yet, right?"

"Hold on, Nyx! Alice is going out with me!!" Prompto quickly regained himself as he came to me, his arms wanted to wrapped around me but I didn't let him. My hands grabbed his arms and pushed him down to the ground. After he fell, I placed my foot on his head and said,

"Hey blondie, don't get touchy with me. If you want a hug, you have to work for it."

"Oh really, Alice?!! I wouldn't mind." Prompto said as he is feeling pain on his head but it seems he is enjoying my punishment. Weirdo number 2... Ignis shook his head and Gladiolus laughed at the scene.

"Haha! It seems Alice doesn't want to go out with you, Prompto!" Nyx said "So Alice, about that dinner?"

"Why would go with you, Womanizer?" I asked

"I'm not a womanizer, Alice. We have been through this."

"You're still a womanizer. I will not change your name because you are asking."

"Fine, how about going with me to dinner, Alice?" Nyx asked 

"No, womanizer." I said as I let go of Prompto, he argued with Nyx about dating me and the others were just watching the show. After 2 hours of the nonsense of the lovesick fools, I finally got into my guest room and fell to the bed. As I turned around, The Giver is laying close to me with a same smirk when we met. I quickly backed away but the Giver is much faster than me and pinned me to the headboard of the bed.

"Hello Alice. I hope your enjoying your stay in Insomnia." He said as I am struggling to get lose but his grip is surprisingly tight and his strength is unlike any normal soldier or Kinglavies. 

"What do you want, Giver?" I spatted 

"Oh, is that any to greet friends in crime or sex friends?" He said with a smirk

"Basterd! You're lucky that I don't kill you!" I said as he shrugged and replied

"Alice, I came to check on my new bestie. Also, I know your Grid space is in deep trouble, isn't it?"

"..."

"By your silence, that's a yes."

"It can be a no, Giver."

"Oh no, it's a yes. Like you, I have one too."

"What?" I said in slight surprise but I was totally shock about the Giver having a Grid world

"You want to see?"

"No."

"Let's see my Grid world, Alice. Remember, your my bestie and friends share secrets. Here we go!" With that said, he pointed his fore finger at my forehead and I drifted into the darkness that was headed to his world.
