AN-Last chapter I forgot to say that I don't own Escaflowne. Except for Gatti, Migel and Dilandau (I Wish!!!!!). Come on if I did own Escaflowne do you think that the dragon slayers would have died and that Dilly would have that little problem. ; )
The three dragon slayers stepped out of the house, they were right in the line of fighter that was ready to escape from Dilandau's angry red eyes. He watched their expressions and figured that the girl wasn't there.
"Yes...?"
"She isn't there Sir." Migel said bravely, separating himself from the rest.
"And I suppose I can blame you for that." He turned to face them. "Actually I would rather blame all of you." He punched Migel, slapped Guimel and gave Chesta another black eye. "Are you dragon slayers or little girls? How hard is it to get her."
"Lord Dilandau.." Migel tried to explain, but was silenced by a strong hand hitting his face.
"Was I asking YOU a question Migel?"Dilandau glared at him.
Migel knew that this was a trick question to see if he would speak up again. He didn't, a sore stomach and a bruised face was enough for him.
"Now get her, or you will wish that you would have died with the rest of the village! Do you understand?" After he had threatened them he left, his evil laugh ringing in their ears.
Athena stretched her arms and torso. She slowly opened her eyes and hoped that she had only dreamed the destruction of her home. But the harsh realite kicked in when she noticed that she had just taken a nap in the forest.
"How long have I slept for, I just wanted to rest my eyes?" She questioned herself.
Holding tightly to the tree, she pulled herself up on to her feet. She rubbed her tires eyes and examined the forest, hoping that she wasn't lost. Suddenly she felt a tight grasp on her heart, as she felt someone's presents nearby.
"Three of them, all boys. With those machines that the people of the village talked about."
"This way Migel!" Athena heard one of them talk to the other. She could feel that they were getting closer and closer and that she had to run. Athena hated being alone, left not knowing why this was happening and why she even had to run. The branches of the bushes tore her dress and scared her skin. Her head was spinning and she was weak. The smell of moss and rotting wood didn't make it easy on her empty stomach. It just caused the acid from her it to be violently thrown up. Hunger and fear kicked in and she lost control dropping on the ground and crying like a small child.
"There's no way I can hide from them, those machines will crush me." Athena hugged her legs and sat in the wet dirt. The empty space in front of her scared her. If there was nothing there why did she feel their presents. Athena asked herself hoping that she wasn't going crazy. Deciding that it was better to put up a fight then to wait and be captured she took off and begun to run once more.
After a while of jumping over rocks and holes, she lost her balance and tripped on a tree branch. She lifted herself up only to gaze at the deep cut across her leg. In her moment of weakness she let out a loud scream.
Athena listened to the echo that she know will cause her her freedom. Her leg was losing a lot of blood and was beginning to turn blue. The sight of her red blood mixing with the dark earth made the sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach worse.
"I heard something, this way." Chesta took a run for it, hoping that she was still there when they came.
The dragon slayers came to the spot where she sat holding onto her leg. At first they didn't notice that her leg was injured. Circling her like a pack of wolves would an injured dear. Migel moved closer to her studying her face, her green eyes letting him read her like a book. She was more scared then angry, though she said nothing to him. Finally Migel noticed the blood around her trembling body. She tried to hide it from him when she realized that he knew.
"Let me help you!" He torn the bottom of her white dress and tied it around the deep cut, trying to stop the bleeding.
The loss of blood caused Athena to faint. The last thing she remembered before passing out was Migel's face telling her how not worth all of this she was. And his words, "All this for an ordinary clumsy girl."
AN-So the second chapter, I can't believe that I actually continued with the story. Thank you everyone who read this story and reviewed it. So tell me what you thought about this chapter. I know that it wasn't as good as the last but it will get better. PS Sorry that Athena's full powers wont's be revealed for a while.
