Chapter 1- Caught

**********

"Don't hurt them, mama, papa, sis, no don't DON'T"

Chetsa woke up with a cry breathing heavily, his chest rising up and forth as he was caught in a daze. He covered his face with his hands and groaned; he still had nightmares about it, how they killed his family and left him with nothing.

"Damn" he growled. "You're finally awake" Dallet spoke looking at him with apathy. Chesta look up embarrassed "He was probably there" he thought to himself. "What happen..." he ask opening his blue eyes Dallet snorted at this and decided to fill him in.

"Well, we were under attack and the dragon got away, we found you knockout near folken-samas room and Dilandau got his face cut up, oh yeah we manage to catch that strange woman that was with the dragon, they're interrogating her right now, poor girl" he explain. Chesta nodded in response looking at his hands "I see" he muttered. Dallet look at the short slayer and shifted uncomfortably, he was always the shy one, that Chesta, usually he would be by himself, or be secluded in his bedroom.

"Weird kid, I wonder how he even made it in the ranks?" he thought. He saw Chesta get off of the bed and stood up wobbling "You sure you can move? Whoever kick your ass did a very good job" Dallet inquire. "Damn that Allen" he thought clenching his teeth he hated that man tramp.

"I just need fresh air"

"Ok then" Dallet spoke before Chesta closed the door behind his room. He walk along the hallways bruised sore and feeling like shit "Dilandau-sama's probably is going to punish me" he thought with a little fear and touch his left cheek he still remember when he first sample Dilandau's slap and that when he was just annoyed also. He found himself at the jail cells and decided to ask one of the guards about the recently caught prisoner.

"Sir, about that girl we caught" Chetsa began to ask.

"They are interrogating her as we are speaking, she was with the dragon so she must know something" he explain and Chetsa nodded. "Well she be all right?" He ask with sympathy, and the guard gave him a clueless look "Kid, she'll be lucky if she even makes it half alive" he replied.

Hitomi let out another scream of pain as the whip burn and cut her flesh, tears fell out and she clench her teeth feeling the blood flow from her back.

"Why were you with the dragon? What are you planning?"

"I-I don't...know" She replied pitifully and the interrogators smirk at her "Wrong answer" One of them replied and the whip crack down on her back once again. The tears dropped freely down her face and she sob with great agony. Why? What had she done to deserve this? She didn't know anything so why was she suffering for someone else's faults?

"Van" she whispered as the whip continued to hit her. Her sobs were reduce to sniffles and unable to endure the torture any longer fainted on the ground, blood flowing freely from her wounds. "That's enough for now" one of them spoke.

"Take her back to the cell"

Two of the interrogators grabbed her by the arms and dragged her back to the cell not bothering to bandage her wounds. Unfortunately, Hitomi didn't have the pleasure of having a dreamless sleep for the pain woke her up. Her body was in agony and she felt blood, her blood, dripping from her and onto the ground. How could Van, all of them, leave her here? She save his life and this was how he repaid her? New tears escape from her eyes and she embraced her self.

"I want to go home, back home.." She wished but she knew it would go unanswered. Her body felt numb and she felt lightheaded losing too much blood as she closed her eyes "Maybe, it's for the best. Just die Hitomi, it's easier this way, just die" she spoke to herself. No one would come to save here and she never had a chance to say goodbye to her family, her friends.

"Amano-senpai" she whispered a new pain hitting her heart, she never did have her first kiss with him and never would experience many other things either. She closed her eyes once again, feeling heavily sleepy and embrace the darkness that overtook her.

Chesta loomed over her cell a slight hint of pity on his face "How horrible" he thought. He wanted to leave the cell but he couldn't take her eyes off her and she laid there in her own blood he closed his eyes and saw his mother, in that exact position looking at him with glazed eyes in a pool of her blood reaching to him. She said his name in an anguish voice before limping an succumbing to death. He look at the girl again, a heavy pain hitting his heart "Kasaan" he whispered. He clench his fist in a surprising anger how could they do this to a girl? She may have been with the enemy but it didn't give them a right to use these extreme amounts of torture on her.

"Bastards, have they no shame?"

"Chesta, what are you doing here"

Chesta turned his head to se who ask him this "Gatty" he spoke. The tall slayer walk to him and notice the unconscious girl in the cell and he flinch "Oh god" he manage to speak and Chesta nodded in agreement. "Gatty, why are you here?"

"I'm on jail watch, but, I think that won't be a problem, it looks like she more dead than alive" he explain. "Gatty, I can't leave her like this" Chesta replied and Gatty gave him an incredulous look.

"What do you mean? If they find out that you help the enemy.."

"I know, but, I can't leave her like this to die, I just can't" He answered. Gatty let out a long sigh and took out the keys. "Well, luckily for you, I can't stand to see a womans blood spilt either" he replied and open the cell.

"Thank you Gatty"

"I know, but if they find out what we did, then we are so dead. If the interrogators won't kill us, then I'm sure Dilandau-sama will" he spoke as Chesta entered the cell. Chesta flinch once again as he had a closer view of her condition; her clothes were ripped and most in shreds while wounds covered her back and part of her arms. He took off his leather top of the uniform laying it on the ground then took off his shirt, it was a long sleeve tunic but it was enough to bandage her wounds. He begin to rip it into strips and wrapped them gently but firmly around her. She squirm and cried a little in pain while Chesta coaxed her stroking her stray locks of hair on her face. She whimpered a little while Chesta bind the strips to knots he wiped his forehead and overlook his handiwork.

"That should do it" He thought as he stood up. He put on his leather coat around his shoulders "She'll survive, I'll tell you that much" Gatty finally spoke as they left the cell. Chesta gave another glance at her and Gatty gave him reassuring smile "Tell you what, since you've taken a liking to this prisoner I'll watch over her and make sure she will live" He said. Chesta nodded and gave another glance at her "Poor girl, I hope she'll be ok" he thought while he left the cells.

Meanwhile at the capital of Austuria, Palas Van growled in frustration and punched a wall continously until his hands bled "How could I?" he thought disgusted. Merle look at him with worry "It's that's bitch fault" she thought with envy.

"Van"

"Allen!! We have to go back!! We must!!" he exclaim grabbing onto the blonde's knight shoulders "I know how you feel Van, but we cannot, she may be as good as dead" he replied.

"NO!! SHE CAN'T!!!" He shouted and pushed him from him and begin to walk away from him "Van, where are you going!" Allen demanded and Van gave him a scowl "If you will not do anything about it, then I'll save her myself! She saved my life and I will save hers" he proclaimed. Allen look at him with hard eyes "Is that you decision then?" he ask darkly.

His men then surrounded Van and Merle and Van look at him "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!!" he demanded. "Van, I cannot allow you to get captured by Zaibach, this is what they expect, you still have a duty, as a king, for your country and people, do not forget that"

Van couldn't believe this. No, he wouldn't let anymore people die! He refuse! He wasn't going to let Hitomi die for his cause "NO!!" he shouted and attempted to run for it. Allen's men grabbed him attempting to hold him at bay.

"LET ME GO!! I HAVE TO SAVE HER!!! LET ME GO DAMN IT!!!" He curse and felt a sharp prick though his neck and his vision turned blurry and his body felt limp. "No...Hito...mi..." were his last thoughts before he succumb to the darkness.

End chappie one
