AUTHOR'S NOTES: I do not own any of the Escaflowne characters or anything that you most likely recognize such as singers and bands. The Characters in the story look like the characters in the movie, however they have the same attituides as in the series (except Millerna).
Chapter 1
Misunderstood
Jolie was not a normal every day girl. She didn't wear stylish clothes; she didn't curl her hair every morning before she went to school. Instead she wore her brown hair back in a ponytail, wore old jeans, a pink worn out sweater that she had been wearing since 3^rd grade and a white t-shirt underneath it. Her shoes, well she most likely bought them at some value village store a long time ago. They weren't comfortable and she would always trip. Making people think she was accident-prone.
Jolie never wore any makeup and was the nicest girl in her town. But the popular kids didn't think of her that way. They thought of her as the school geek. They would play nothing but foolish pranks on her.
Jolie woke up one morning feeling a little depressed for no reason. (Everyone has there off days). Anyway, she got dressed and walked to school. But this time, she didn't make it. You see, every morning she'd go and say hello to her mother, in other words, visit her grave. Along with her sweet brothers grave. But it wasn't that, that made her miss school it was something else...
You see Jolie's mother and brother both died in a car accident. A drunk driver hit them, and pretty much smashed the car into tiny pieces, it would have been impossible for any one to survive the crash. But Jolie never forgave that driver, who was also killed by the way. It was strange, because if someone did something very very bad to Jolie, like the popular kids, she always prayed for him or her, and forgave them. Even if it wasn't her and the kids were well "goofing" off.
When Jolie stopped by their graves she heard some sort of a rumble. If frightened her. But then she saw what it was. A beautiful golden light beam hit the ground surrounding her and pulling her up towards the blue sky. Almost freezing her in time. It was a cold beam, yet it was warm. The colours changed as she was pulled towards the sky, until she was completely knocked out...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jolie woke to see many people surrounding her, with some horrible stench in the air, causing her to gag. There was a boy infront of her with ravin black hair, wearing a red t-shirt and beige pants with brown boots and a sword laying by his side.
Another man with golden long hair stood beside her. He wore a black leather outfit with a sword as well laid by his side. He looked like some sort of a rebel soldier.
Then, a girl with brown hair tied up in a ponytail with a pink bow holding it in the back. She wore armor, with a rose incarved on the shoulder. She wore tight short shorts and a striped pink shirt. She also looked much like a rebel.
But what scared Jolie the most was the cat girl. She looked like a cat, only with pinkish red hair tiger stripes around her face and she wore a worn out dress. She also looked very spoiled, and didn't look too happy to see Jolie.
Jolie sat up shaking her head. She looked at this people. She smiled angel-like and stood up. Everyone immidiatly jumped to their feet. The boy with the black hair drew his sword out from his sheeth.
"Where do you come from?" he asked.
Jolie looked up at the sky. It was a dark sky and night had already fallen. But it was then, when she saw Earth. Earth and it's moon. Her mouth dropped in amazment. She pointed towards the Earth in shock.
"I-I'm from there. Where am I? How did I get here?" She asked.
"How'd you get here? Obviously your needed sweetheart. Maybe we should search you. Make sure you're not with Zaibach or anything. Come on, hand me your bag," The girl with the pink bow in her hair had said.
Jolie sat down infront of the girl with her bag. She emptied it out, containing textbooks, binders, a few extra pieces of clothing, a CD player and a few cds and such but nothing important. However, a single white feather dropped from the bottom of the bag. The girl picked it up and examined it.
"It's my good luck charm. It's not that I belive in them or anything. But when I was little, it just appeared from the sky, no bird, nothing. So I've kept it ever since," Jolie explained.
"Well it's in pretty good shape. When did you find it?" She asked.
"Well, the day after my mother and brother died. I was only ... seven. Yeah I was only seven years old. I'm 16 now. Wow, I've had for about nine years. It looks brand new. It's almost like it's a magic sort of feather. Anyway, I'm no enemy, trust me. I'm not that type of person. I believe in the Lord's Plan. In other words, fate. Only, the Lord's plan is everyone elses' version of fate," Jolie explained.
Everyone stood their, dumbstruck, not knowing what to say. Jolie just sat there smiling at them. The woman with the pink bow was the first to speak.
"Hey. My name is Millerna. This is Van Fannell the one in the red shirt, he's the King of Fannellia. This is Allen Shezar, A Knight. This is Merle, Van's annoying friend, and this is the rest of the crew. They'll introduce themselves when they talk to ya. Which is they do, by the way, don't listen to a word they say. They're all liars. Nothing to get your hopes high for," she introduced," anyway, welcome to the group. We are all joined together to destroy Zaibach. We did it once, we'll do it again. Only it seems they have a few of our men on their side. So we don't trust anyone of us anymore."
Jolie couldn't believe what she had just said. No one trusts each other. But trust is like love, and you can't possibly live without love, let alone trust. These thoughts zoomed throughout her head, not knowing what to think of. She stood up and looked around at everyone.
"How can you all not trust each other. I mean, trust is love, and the greatest thing in life is to love and be loved in return. And without love, your heart would fade away. And without trust, how will you ever live in peace? I mean, it's just plain crazy," Jolie explained.
"Well anyone from the Mystic Moon is plain crazy. And hey, you're from the Mystic Moon aren't you? I guess you shouldn't be the one to talk should you?" Merle retorted.
"I didn't mean it as a rude comment Merle. I meant it as a fact of nature. I mean, you should always go with your gut instinct, but never should you follow someone else's," Jolie said.
"Well, whatever. A lot of people around here follow orders; even if they're good or bad. You are certainly not gonna last here. And, eww, that sweater your wearing. That is just disgusting. How old is it? A hundred years? I mean, even I could afford a new sweater," Merle told her.
"Really? If so then, why bother buying a sweater, when you can go and buy a new attituide?" mocked Jolie.
Millerna broke out in a high pitched laughter as Merle walked away pouting about how she was put down by a girl from the Mystic Moon. Something she figured was impossible.
As everyone settled down, they got to business. They explained why they were after Zaibach, they explained about Van's brother, Folken. And how he had betrayed his own country by destroying it for a second time. All of the men who had died in the first war were brought back from the machines Zaibach creates. Van told her to beware a boy leader of the Dragon Slayers. His name was Dilandau Albatou, and would certainly would be after Van. Jolie figured that all he needed was some praying. However she was very much wrong...
