This story is in the Point of view of Van and Hitomi. This is a V/H but not at first it's an A/H (which I think is a horrible idea) but it works for this story.

True Destiny



I clawed at the door to Allen's house praying his there

'He is close I can feel it'

I fled from the door towards the castle, back to its warmth, my Friends, to a safe palace surrounded by trees. As I ran deeper and deeper into the woods an eerie howling sound followed me through the woods as flashes of far off lightning made the trees glow green. The storm moved in more quickly then I thought, the sound of rain drowned the crying sound of the wind, rain and sweat plastered my bangs to my face.

'Too close he's too close I've got to hide'

Mist attacked my legs as I ran pain rushed like fire up my leg "NO" how could I have not seen that tree root! Pushing my self up with my arms I heard him catching up.

'He's here no not now, I can't hide'

Half running half limping I tried to carry on. As I came to the castle grounds, the rain was so hard that it was bouncing off the stones as the roar of thunder echoed, I heard the sound of my feet dragging on the gravel crushing the stones in to the mud. I started to feeling safe, warm again

'He wouldn't come here, would he?'

Slowly I made my way to the castle door, remembering the glow it gave off the way the fires made the insides look orange, something was wrong it was too quiet there was no sounds of guards moving, no laughter, music or the sounds of gymelifs (an: -- I can't spell to safe my live so sorry for the mistakes), it was too quiet.

"They aren't in There"

That voice, it was him but how? How did he find me so quick? I tried to run towards the safety of the castle but my leg just gave way.

"You shouldn't have ran Hitomi, I always find what I'm looking for"

I could hear him getting closer, but where was he? I could feel his breath on my neck making the hairs rise.

"Where are my friends?" I cried in to the darkness

"Looking for you, witch, It will be so much fun seeing Van's face when he finds you"

Slowly he appeared out of the shadows, his silver hair matted to his fore head, his eyes looking at me with such blood lust, those eyes so red like pools of blood.

"What have I done to you?"

"Nothing Hitomi but ruin my life" he snarled taking a handful of my hair

"NOTHING" he cried as he threw me against a tree, I looked at him with my green eyes, and he moved to stand over me wanting blood.

"I'm sorry for what ever I done I didn't mean to" I sobbed

"You helped him to kill them all of them."

That sound, the sound of metal on metal. Slowly his arms rise above his head, as flash of lightning reflected off the blade of the knife.

Pain and blood was all I could feel and see as he brought the knife down on me again and again "Bye Hitomi, enjoy hell say 'HI' to the Dragon Slayers for me" he cried.

As he slowly walked towards the woods the darkness swallowing him, as I felt my life slowly fade I could hear my name being called. It had to be Van looking for me, with my last bit of strength I called to him,

"VAN OVER HERE" all I could hear was some one running on the gravel towards me,

"Hitomi, HITOMI"

"Van" I whispered as every thing when blank.
