P.S Unfortunately I no nothing of Japonise temples, so I'm going by the one
shown on The Vision Of Escaflowne.
Chapter 1- Awful Truth
Hitomi sighed, a great feeling of unhappiness settling itself in her heart. Once again she tried to reach out to Von telepathically, and once again got no answer. She sat herself on her bed, her mind full of worry. Why didn't he answer her? Was he dead? Was he sick? If she didn't find an answer soon, Von wasn't going to be the only one in a bad way. She picked up her diary from the bedside table and opened it to the page where she wrote down the vision she'd had. She flicked to the most recent ones, reading carefully, trying to pick up any new meanings in them.
I had the vision when I was taking a short cut home one night through the running track- the same place where I first met Von. At the beginning there was that same sickening sensation of falling, or being dragged underwater that I have every time I have a vision. In my vision I was on Gaea, and I think I was in Fanelia. It was completely rebuilt, and all the street were decorated with flowers and banners. It looked like a huge festival was about to take place. I then saw a girl with long curly hair sitting at a dresser looking into the mirror. There are at least five servants fussing over her clothers and hair. Her dress is beautiful, even better than Milerna's wedding dress. Next I see the girl holding Vons's arm, smiling. They are walking on a red carpet and there are people on either side. That's when I realise they're walking up the aisle- they are going to get married.
The memory of that vision made Hitomi want to cry. She had always had faith in her visions, but how could she trust what she had seen? How could Von, who had vowed to love her for eternity, suddenly forget all they'd done together and go off with another? Her gaze drifed to the tarot cards on her desk. Should she? She'd promised never to use them ever again. But maybe, just this once. she got up from her bed and stood in front of the cards, waiting for the battle inside her to finish. Then, just as her hand reached out over the cards, a breeze came through the window and scattered the cards over the desk. Hitomi's heart quickened its pace. This was surely a sign. Perhaps she was meant to read the cards. Besides, it wouldn't do any harm. Would it?. She leaned over to get a better view of the cards, and gasped, her heart jumping painfully to her throat. "No!" She shouted, and with a swipe of her hand knocked the cards of the desk. Breathing heavily, she threw her self onto her bed and began to sob.

When Hitomi had finished crying her head hurt, her throat was sore, and her stomach felt queasy. She was exhausted. She sniffed, and reached out for her last Kleenex to blow her nose with. So what if the cards said Von was bound to another? It didn't mean it was true. Slowly, she got up and picked up her pocket mirror to check if she looked like she'd been crying. She did. Her eyes were red, her cheeks damp and her nose was running. Not to mention the state her hair was in. She quickly began the tiding up process of brushing her hair and creeping to the bathroom to wash her face and blow her nose. When all that was done, she felt better and just a little shaky. She felt she could do with a breath of fresh air. She went downstairs and found her Mum and Dad preparing dinner. Her mother looked up. "Hello, sweetie pie, would you like to help with the dinner? Your brother's too 'busy'. According to him, anyway." Her mother stopped talking and peered at her daughter. "Are you alright Hitomi? Your eyes are red." "I'm fine Mum," Hitomi lied. Her Dad looked up from peeling the potatoes. "She's probably tired. Don't worry Hitomi, it's the weekend tomorrow, so you can sleep in." Hitomi smiled. "Thanks, Dad," "What are you doing this weekend, Hitomi?" Her mother asked. "Mmm, nothing," Mum looked surprised. "Oh really? No Yukari?" Dad groaned. "Don't tell me, the twins have split up," he said. "No., she's with Umano, that's all," "Ahhh," said her mother smpathetically. "So she's in love and left you on your own, has she? Are you feeling lonely?" "No!" Hitomi almost shouted, mainly to quieten her own thoughts about the amount of time those two were spending together, not her mother's. But her mother was right: she did feel lonely. No Umano, no Yukari and no Von. "There's no need to raise your voice, Hitomi," Her father said reasonably. "I'm not," Hitomi answered. Her father sighed. "You know, I thought our daughter had escaped Evil Teenager Syndrome, but I guess not," Hitomi's mother chuckled. "Really, dear, no wonder she gets annoyed, you never take her seriously." "Okay, Mum, I'm going out, now." Hitomi said impatiently. Her mother's eye brows went up. "Hitomi! Do you have any idea how late it is? It's dangerous at this time of night." "Mum," said Hitomi, wearily, "It's 7 o clock. You're making it sound like I want to go out at 11 or something." "Besides," Her Father added, we're going to have dinner soon," "For goodness sakes, people! It's not like I want to go clubbing!" "Where do you want to go, then?" "The temple." "Oh." Their attitude changed at once. "What is so important that you have to go there at once, Hitomi?" Said her mother, concerned. "Nothing.I just need some guidance on something, that's all." "Can we help?" Her dad asked. "No, it's about something I find hard to talk about." "Boyfriends," said her mother instantly, with her uasal annoying spot-on- ness. Hitomi frowned. "I just need to go to the temple, okay?" "I'll take you," Dad offered, drying his hands on a towel. Hitomi smiled. "Thanks, Dad!" She rushed into the hall way, and struggled into her coat. "Come on, Dad!" She said, agitated when she saw that he had neither shoes, coat nor keys. As they drew up to the temple gates, Dad said: "Hitomi, I just remembered- I left some important paper work at the office that I have to do over the weekend. I'll just quickly pop over and I'll be back in five. You'll be okay here on your own for a while, right?" Hitomi got out of the car, and kissed her father on the cheek through the open window. "I'll be fine, Dad," She said lovingly. "Okay, don't tell your Mother, though!" Her Dad grinned. Hitomi laughed, and waved to him as he drove off. She turned round, her eyes resting on the path that led to the temple- the same path that she and her friends had been when they were chased by a dragon, and the same temple where Von killed it. She walked slowly, her memories mixing with the twilight, so that the shadows took the shapes of the dragon, Von, and countless other people of Gaea. Hitomi stopped dead. She strained her ears. Didn't she hear footsteps behind her? Maybe she'd imagined it. Besides, it had stopped. She glanced over her shoulder, to make sure. For a spilt second she thought she saw the shape of Dilandou, his evil, handsome face bearly visible in the shadows.He was watching her. Hitomi froze, fear overuling reason. She blinked, unable to ask herself how it was possible that he could be here. When she opened her eyes again, the moment had passed and he had gone. She shook her head. "I'm scaring myself," She muttered. Scowling because she let her imagination get the better of her, she continued her walk at a brisk pace. When she arrived at the temple, it was a struggle not to become completely submerged in the memories and the feelings she had experienced, threatening to make her re- live the whole journey. She pushed all that to the back of her mind and strode forward to the temple. She went to the porch and knelt down. She closed her eyes and clasping her hands together, she began to pray. "Oh Powers That Be, power of my wishes, send me back to Gaea so that I may know that Von's love is true. Grandma, if you're listening, please, help me! If it is your will, and my wish, if my love is strong enough take me back to my home, to Gaea, Fanelia." Hitomi could no longer speak, the sights and sounds of Fanelia came back to her in her mind's eye, torturing her heart with longing and unhappiness. A lump came to her throat and her eyes stang. "Oh please." She whispered, her head bowed. She waited, on tenderhooks, for her answer. She waited for a few minutes, and with a sinking feeling of defeat and dissapointment, she stood up, and walked away. Tears choked her. She'd been refused. Wasn't her wish strong enough? Was their love just a calf love, a fake love? Nooo! Her heart and soul screamed at her. His love is for ever. "No," Her voice was like a little mew of pain. She tilted her head to one side, so that she could gaze at the spot where Von had killed the dragon, but not at the temple, that had forsaken her and doomed her love. Tears were trickling down the side of her face. Inside, she felt dead. She'd given up all hope of ever being happy again and her soul was in a black void of nothingness. "Goodbye, Von. I love you," She whispered. Suddenly there was a sound as if the sky was being ripped apart, and she looked up to see something rushing towards her, a coloum of light. She was surrounded by it, she was part of it, and she belonged to the light, and where ever it would go she would have to follow. She felt its power, pulling at her, lifting her feet up from the ground. She smiled, happiness and love filling the void of darkness. She gave herself up to the light willingly, and as she was rushed away from Earth and hurtled to Gaea, she knew nothing except a great, overwhelming joy.
Hitomi landed into a field of soft, lush grass. She stood up, and brushed the grass from her knees. She looked around. Behind her was a huge forest, and further on in the distance she could just make out some mountains. It was hard to see in the gloom. In front of her lay a city, full of lights and, even though it was night time, bursting with activity and energy. It was a beautiful place. Hitomi recognised her surroundings immediately. She was in Fanelia. She looked up to the night sky, and saw Earth, the Mystic Moon, up there with the stars and the Moon. She laughed, a happiness so strong filled her heart that she thought that she'd explode if she didn't do something. So she twirled around and around the field, her arms held up to the sky. "Thank you, thank you!" She cried. "Thank you for sending me back to Von!" Laughing, dizzy with happiness and motion, she did several cart wheels in a row and collapsed in a heap on the grass. She stayed on the grass where she fell and she sighed happily, breathing in the sweet, fresh smell of Fanelia. The grass was comfortable, and cooled Hitomi's skin, which had been warmed by her dancing and frolicking. Tired from all of the day's emotions, and drunk with happiness, Hitomi closed her eyes and before she could do anything, she was fast asleep in the fields of Fanelia. * * * * The beautiful sound of a bird celebrating life and the birth of a new day pierced into Hitomi's peaceful sleep. Hitomi's eyes fluttered open, and she sat up, not knowing, for a second, where she was. When she remembered, she smiled, happiness dancing in her light green eyes, adding sparkle and life to her delicate face. Her hair and clothes were damp from the morning's dew, and her muscles were sore from sleeping on the ground, but Hitomi didn't care. How could someone worry about silly things like that on a day like this? The sky was a heavenly mixture of pinks, oranges and golds, the fluffly clouds looking like jewels in a sea of beauty. The mountains, icy blue by nature had now gained a soft, pinkish light, making them more magnificent than they already were. The unreachable, though completely desirable beauty of the sky and the mountains made a contrast between the fresh, green grass and the lively, friendly city, but they complimented each other and together they made a view that was truly breath taking, overwhelmingly beautiful. Hitomi yawned and stretched, slowly got up and eagerly went towards the city. She passed the city gates with no problem at all. She overheard one of the traders saying that they were going to a market place in the city centre. She remembered a market place in front of the palace when she had first came, and she knew for a fact that the palace was in the city centre, so she decided to follow them in the hope that they would lead her to the palace. No one talked to her or asked her where she came from, but she could tell from the strange looks she got from people in the street that they'd noticed how foreign her clothes were. As she made her way through the city, she also noticed how nice it looked- there were flowers and banners, and baskets of confetti everywhere. Every one seemed extra happy, yet they seemed to have a lot more work to do than when Hitomi had first came. As they neared the market place, she immediately recognised it and the palace was just behind it, surrounded by plants, trees and flowers. With a quick jolt of fear, Hitomi remember the vision she'd had. It had shown Fanelia rebuilt and functioning, decorated with flowers, banners and pretty lights, for some special occasion- Exactely like now. How could she forget that awful vision? She stepped out of the way of the traders and their carts, and carefully looked around her. Everything was pretty and jolly, but her powers helped her see through that, and she felt that it was all very fake. Hitomi felt very disturbed. What was wrong with Fanelia? She began to walk away from the palace, her worries stirring uneasily in her chest. "Fanelia's like a juicy, red apple, and when you see it you think 'Ohhhhh, I bet that'll taste nice' and you take a bite and there's a worm in it," Hitomi thought. She stood still for a moment, trying to work out what was wrong. She couldn't find an answer. She spotted a young boy of about ten sitting on the pavement making wreathes out of flowers. She walked up to him. "Hello," She said. The boy looked up at her, and took in her boyish hair style and strange clothes before answering warily: "Hello, Miss," Hitomi smiled, trying to make up for the fact that she was so obviously foreign. "I was wondering if you could tell me why there is so much decoration in the city at the moment. Do you know?" She asked. The boy looked suprised. "For the marriage, of course," He said, as if it were obvious to everyone. "Marriage?" Hitomi felt sick with dread. "Who's getting married?" She already knew the answer, but she had to know for sure. "King Von, Miss," He answered quite pleasantly, before adding: "You're not from around here, are you, Miss?"
(cue dramatic music) Dum dum DUM! Ohhhhhhhh Noooooo ! Wasn't that just terrible?! I know I'll never forgive Von! What did you think ? Please review so I know what to improve. Does it make any sense? Is my spelling really bad? Is it really boring? Do I describe things to much or not enough? Is Hitomi acting in character? Urgh.I wish I'd never started this now! Please review and play nice or I'll do something really evil! Love (or hate, depending on how evil I'm feeling) From J.R
