Escaflowne- One last Chance

Van sat by the window thoughts running through his mind, ' Hitomi… 7 years can you believe it?' Van thought to himself. ' Of course you could…' a tear slid down his cheek and landed on the hard wooden floor below.

Van's life had been miserable since Hitomi had left, he had tried to get over her, well not get over her he could never do that, but at least live life the best he could. It was no use though, without her his heart hurt, no it cried out in pain and sorrow.

6 years had passed since he had last seen her, 6 long years. For the first year after Hitomi left he could check on her, make sure she was alright, happy and in good health but one day it had all changed, he tried to see her like he had the whole year but something was not right, something had changed. The pendent didn't glow, or even flinch there was nothing and it was the worst day of his life. He had spent day's in his room after that just laying there he remembered the feeling of total lose and yearned for the mystic light to take him away, away from everything!

But that had never come, no the kingdom came back to him and for awhile that was his life 17 hours a day till his body was to tired to move on. But sooner or later your heart will catch up with you and make miserable all over again and that had been his life for the last 6 years, every day becoming more grooling and tortures.

Merle had become more suspicious and worried then ever these last 6 months and he knew why, he was going insane. There was no way to stop it but slowly let it take hold, his advisers had started to harp at him to take a wife and have an heir or two for the future thrown. ' HOW COULD THEY DO THAT! They knew how much Hitomi meant to him, that's why they hadn't started harping at him till the last 6 months.' Van thought angrily, his blood starting to boil.

Van's eyes dropped from the mystic moon and on to the floor. He had been having dreams lately, dreams about Hitomi calling to him, asking him why he had abandoned her. He would try and call to her and start calling louder and louder for her to understand that he did not leave her that something had tried to separate them and had failed! But it would never work, all that would happen every time was Hitomi ending up on her knee's sobbing heavily and then a shriek of pure pain would escape her lips then nothing. She always dies in the end ALWAYS! And he could only watch he bleed to death but never be able to go to her, he got close yes but before he could put a hand on her he would wake up screaming, panting and tears sliding down his face none stop. And that had been his last 6 months, so yes he had be gone to go insane.

Van stood up and shut the window shutters ' you can't torture your self every day' Van's mind assured but something told him it wouldn't make a difference. He always saw the mystic moon and Hitomi's face when he rested his eyes or blinked.

He lay down on the bed and welcomed Hitomi's face to flood his mind. ' Your smiling, but not for long' Van's mind thought coldly and soon enough slumber engulfed him and the nightmare came…

Hitomi lay in the hospital bed, dazed as usual. A cold laugh escaped her lips, yes dazed but who wouldn't if you had so many drugs running through your system.

Hitomi heard her mom out side the door fumbling as usual. It had been about a year since she had been put into this place. They had tried to let me go a few times but each time they would find some way to put me back ' mom is just scared' tears started to form yet again in her eyes ' no more Hitomi NO MORE CRYING!' her mind screamed.

Hitomi had to wait for her mom to enter but found that she also didn't want her mom to come in. No she wanted to leave here and go back to a planet called Gaea, and she would soon, she would…
