Chapter 45: The Ghost of You
Not my pic but cool.
Y/N pov
"You are here again, I see." a familiar voice called out to me as my eyes saw Hyacinthe in Noctis's form again, we were running in this odd void and I replied,
"Hyacinthe, been a while. Where the hell have you been?"
"Missed me, ÁSTRÍÐR?"
"No...why are you here? Am I being possessed again?" I said as my feet were following her down a dark pathway that smelled of ashes and blood. Man, this made my nose uncomfortable.
"Yes, I'm leading you to your first peak."
"First peak?"
"Good luck, ÁSTRÍÐR."
"What the fuck is this?!" I shouted as the surroundings became the Insomnia throne room, a shadow appeared before me and took the shape of Crowe.
"Pretty lady?"
"Traitor," Crowe said
"Huh?"
"Non-believer. Traitor!!!" Crowe came at me with force and draggers in her hands. My body pushed back as she swung her draggers and I tried to get my sword. However, I had no weapons that are a problem. She continued to charge at me as I continued to dodge until she left herself open and my right hand grabbed her hand. My left hand took hold of her other hand and spun her around once. After the spin, my right hand took hold of one dragger and my left hand let go of Crowe. She dropped to the ground as my feet ran to her to hit her back but she turned quickly to block my attack.
What the hell is going on?

"Damn it!! Not again!" I said as we were chasing after Alice who is possessed again.
"The spirits really like possessing Alice, huh?" Gladiolus said
"It would seem so," Ignis added as Prompto complained about the crazy spirits, we continued to run after her through the cave path until she finally stopped and stared at the dark.
"Finally, Ice Alice...stopped..." Prompto huffed as he was out of breath, Ignis and I walked to Alice. I placed my hand on her shoulder and heard something in the cave. Something bigger. Suddenly, a snake-like monster dropped from the top of the cave and landed near us. The snake creature had a human head with black hair in dreads. It seemed to have a bone crown of sorts and its body is entirely that of a snake. What got me of this creature is the eyes that seem to be distant; shut down from life.
"My baby...where..." The creature said as we were surprised that the fiend can talk, unlike all the other monsters we have encountered. I didn't know how to respond until Alice said,
"We killed your baby."
"That means...you took my baby! Give him back, Grand Master!!" The creature charged at Alice as we were ready to fight but Alice snapped her fingers and the creature busted into black flames. The creature cried in agony as its skin became dark as tar and Alice said,
"Goodbye, Naga. I will see again in the cleanse."
Once again, Alice sprinted ahead as we quickly chased her again. At the end of the tunnel, my eyes saw a familiar tree where the light shined as if a beacon to let it's presence be known. I went to the tree as my hand reached out to touch the bark, the tree shined and turned to a bolt of light purple lightning. Then the energy suddenly went to me to give me visions of Luna and the Astral, Ramuh. Strangely, my eyes got a glimpse of a ghostly figure near Luna also like the Grand Master's form. This spirit has some type of medieval armor and their head is covered with the helmet. The short visions ended as the energy died down and the lightning stopped. We heard a chuckle as my eyes turned to Alice, she walked towards me and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, we were no longer in a cave but a dark area with nothing.
"Alice, where are we?!" I asked quickly as she continued to chuckle and replied,
"Alice? She's not here, Noctis Luis Caelum."
A familiar voice that we didn't what to hear.
"Traitor of the Grand Masters? Why are you here again?!" I angrily asked as Alice smirked darkly and responded,
"I told you last time, I will make your bloodline regret stopping me."
"You probably deserved it."
"No, I was trying to save my kind! Your bloodline denied me to do just that!!"
"That is little hard to believe in this situation and your actions this far," Ignis said as Alice glared at him darkly, she waved the hand that released some dark energy and threw it at us. Luckily we dodge this energy and my ears hear her sighed.
"You don't get it. That's fine, we have plenty of time before you fail, Noctis Luis Caelum."
"I won't fail, Traitor. I'm not going to listen to your lies!" I shouted as Alice just smirked at my answer and replied,
"You think I lie? Believe what you want but remember my words: I WILL make your bloodline regret stopping me. Farewell, Noctis Luis Caelum."
We were back inside the cave as Alice fell to the ground, we went to her and hoped that she would come back instead of the traitor.
(Y/N)'s pov
Suddenly, my eyes shot opened to see the boys again and snorted in frustration
"I was possessed again wasn't I?"
"Pretty much," Prompto said as the boys helped me up, my feet stood still and able to feel myself again.
"What happened this time?" I grudging asked
"Let's talk about that once we rest, Ms. Alice," Ignis replied as we all agreed it was a hell of a day, we finally exited the awful cave and heading to a campsite to rest.
I couldn't help but wonder what happened when I was possessed and seeing Crowe...made me feel...that feeling of being helpless.
Afraid.
