The Choice is Yours: Part 1

Disclaimers: EscaFlowne does not belong to me. It belogs to Fox (i think) and any other companies.
This is my VERY first EscaFlowne work! I hope you guys enjoy it.... Well, I was watching the episode when Hitomi almost had her life snuffled out of her by the duffleganger (i think that's how you spell it). Then Van saves her.... Somewhat. Oh well... So what? I copied it! At least she doesn't die the same way! Well she doesn't die.... More like close to death experience.... Though I don't know how she's going to.... *fades away* Anouncer: Alright, you get the point. Just r/r and enjoy the fic!
~The Heavens Above~
~Van~
"Come on Hitomi! It'll be fun! Please?" I asked grabbing Hitomi's hand.
"Why do you want to go up there, Van?" she asked withdrawing her hand from mine.
"Just... Please?"
"Tell me!" she said urgently.
"It's a suprise, now come on! Don't wriggle or else." I said taking off my shirt.
"VAN!" she screamed.
I narrowed my eyes at her and replied,
"I don't want to shred my shirt."
I felt the warmth of my wings push out. Sending a dozen angel feathers flying.
"Come on!" I urged coming behind her.
I gently grabbed her waist and she pouted.
"No Van! I don't like doing this! Last time you almost dropped me!"
"I'll be more careful, promise! And plus, it was raining last time we did this."
She pouted again but I hardly heard her. Concentrating on my beats of the wings, I took off. Flap once, flap twice.. I hurried it and wrapped my arms around her stomach. Then I came upright, soaring towards the afternoon sun.
"See? I'm not going to drop you." I whispered in her ear.
I heard her gasp. We were higher up then ever. The whole town layed beneath us, a sea of green and towns folk running, some even pointing up at us.
"Van! We're too high!" she said.
"Oh come on! If we're higher, we'll get to the valley faster."
She sighed and I felt it against my bare arm. I directed myself and flapped down faster, every stroke smooth and gentle.
"Wow, this is much more steady then before.... Were you practicing?"
"I uh.... Yeah."
I could almost see her smirking but at the same time I was almost laughing.
"We're almost there..."
She sighed gently and I flew faster. This was normal for the two of us. We would usually sneek out of Fanalia and into a valley not far from the town. Just a place where we would usually talk and run around. Of course I was always topless because if they found one of my shirts shredded, they would usually get a search party ready.
"Hey Van.... You just passed it."
"I.. uh... Sorry. Hang on tight."
I gripped my arms around her waist tighter and went head first, spiraling towards the valley below.
~Hitomi~
I felt the rush of the air. I could almost feel the straining of his wings, I could also feel Van's breathing on my neck. This was normal, but also scary. Strangly thrillingly fun as well.
"Weee!" I whispered through the torment of air that surrounded us.
I felt Van's laboured breathing behind me as he pulled himself upright again. We landed gently on the grass, near the lively brook bubbling beside us. I glanced uncertaintly around. I felt like something was watching us. Van probably read my mind.
"What's wrong Hitomi?"
"I.... Nothing.."
After all Dilandau was still after me... I picked up the pendant from my neck and took it off my head. I plopped down next to the stream staring deeply into it. It wasn't just dull like it usually was. It was faint but it seemed like a radient light was glowing in it. An inner light... Like the time when it somehow transported EscaFlowne, Van and myself to Allan's country. The very first time I came into this world... Out of the Mystic Moon. Mother.... I felt tears sting my eyes and Van's face apeared over my shouldar.
"Ay, what's wrong?"
I quickly pulled it back over my head. No need to worry Van over something that wasn't even need worrying about. But still...
"Nothing..." I whispered.
I knew it was no use trying to lie to Van. He was my friend. A very close one too.
"I know it's not nothing. Something's bothering you Hitomi. Tell me."
As I expected, he cared about my well being. He knew he had to watch after me for the time that I remained here.
"It's..." I stopped and looked behind me.
I blinked once and then knew something was wrong. Very wrong. I touched the pendant and felt it swing. Once.... Twice... Something was here! I grabbed it from my neck and stumbled to my feet. Van followed and he too looked uncertaintly around.
"Something's here Van..."
I held the pendant out and let it fall loose to swing. I cleared my head and closed my eyes. Something was watching us. It was sneaking. Very clever and agile. The pendant swung but fell back down again. Then something flashed through my head. It was something very quick and agile. It ran weaving through the dense line of trees on the other side. There was only one. It was blurry but I could make out some things. It had long indigo hair.... It had nails about 2 inches long. It also had a tail. Almost like Murrel's, exept it wasn't just a little tuff at the end. It just had hair around it.
"Van! There's something here.... Like a cat. Exept human. Like Murrel..."
I felt my knees wobble. I felt the world starting to spin.
"Van!" I reached out to grab his arm, but failed.
Instead, I almost collapsed. But Van catched me before I hit the ground. I could feel him tremble too. He was losing his grip on me and I was slipping. I could feel waves of the air mummbling almost. It was almost as if the air had become radio waves almost. It was making the world spin. Somehow the creature was able to send these waves. I was losing all my senses. My eye sight was turning blurry and the trees swirled together. My eyes were still wide open, but blackness was folding in. NO! I screamed in my head. I fought.
"Hitomi! What's going on!?"
I heard him scream in the distance. But it was faint.
"REEEOOORRR!!!!!!!!!!" I heard it scream like a tiger.
Then a flash of indigo and silver shined. My shouldar screamed in firey pain. Her shirt's sleeve was torn completely off. Little droplets of rain started to fall. Soon, the wind started to pick up, and the rain beated faster. I was losing concious. I was barely able to see Van, but he looked as if he was completely freaking out. He kneeled down and brushed my hair away from my face. But that's all I remember, bacause I blanked out.
~Creature~
I sat on the tree's branch. Out of sight. Slowly, I brushed my indigo hair over my shouldar. I yawned slowly and continued to watch, while cleaning my paw. I was careful to not nick my tongue by my claws. Keeping them locked in. I blinked my azure eyes and closed them for a while. She knew how I looked now... I lashed my tail angrily. She must be destroyed. Yet their.... Bond was different then others. They'll have their time together. But I would come back for her.
"Purrrrrr." I purred slowly watching the boy fuss.
She would be fine... My attack wasn't that hard.. They don't only scratch and make them bleed, sometimes there's posion in it. Some die... Some don't.. That pendant.... I must have it! My eyes flashed dangerously. I have been watching them for a long time. For I live in the valley. I flexed my claws experimently. I purred again and shook the hair out of my eyes. The girl was still down... Anyhow, my job here was done. I grimaced at the rain that was falling down faster. I turned and leaped silently off the branch. Quickly, I ran silently back to my home.
~Van~
"NO! Hitomi! Wake up!!!!!!!!"
I buried my face on her shouldar. Then I also gritted my teeth in anger. Who ever did this... I reached insictly to my side. Groping for my sword. Then I realized I didn't have it. I never bring it here. Expecially when I need to fly carrying Hitomi. My eyes narrowed. How the hell was I able to get her back to Fanaliea (i think that's how you spell it) if it was raining so hard?
"Hitomi..... Hold on!"
I picked her in my arms and let out my wings. They dampened immediatly and it grew rather heavy. But I didn't care. I had to get her out of here and fast. I'de have to clean out her wound, but how? I never learned anything medical. I was trained to be a warrior. Not some kind of nurse! I beated my wings once heavily and lifted off. It got harder every second and my hands soon got wet. Twice, I almost dropped her. Blindly, I flew through the heavy pounding of rain. I looked down to find one little cottage. Hopefully some one lived there.... I dived down and landed heavily on my feat. It was so cold. After all I was topless. Carefully, I knocked the door gently. The door creaked open.
"Yes?"
"I..."
"Oh my god! Get here in here right now!"
I nodded and thanked him. I carried her in and layed her on the bed. The man hurried into the next room and pulled out a bag. He pulled on gloves and carefully cleaned the wound. He bandaged it and wrapped it. But I couldn't help but notice that there was some kind of red liquid. Ecept it was defniatly not blood. It wasn't right. Even the man seemed to have trouble taking it out.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I.... It could be poison......."
I blinked and almost cried. I still held myself. She'll make it, I asuured myself. Not really beleiving it though. Poison is very powerful. She might not even make it through the night!
"Hitomi?" I whispered.
She stirred and I gasped. Her eyes filckered weakly open.
"Van? Where are we?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, I know it's lame. But if you want to know what happens on the next part. You better reveiw. 5 reveiws or else this is officially OVER! *smiles sweetly* Hope you liked it! I'm actually quiet proud of this! Hehehehehehehe. Thank you one, thank you all! Hmm... Should Hitomi LIVE? Hehehehehe I'm evyl, yes I know. But Hitomi IS going to live! Happy? Just reveiw and I'LL be happy! Thank you! SEE YA!
