~~~**~~~ 3. Garden visions ~~~**~~~
Dawn was approaching when Van was finally able to make his way towards his quarter. It had been a long night, and with Hitomi's sudden appearance had stirred up a lot of questions that needed to be answered. He had a lot of them himself.
But the thing that bothered him the most was that Lana just brushed it all of, like it didn't bother her at all. It also bothered him that he hadn't felt anything but surprise when Hitomi had showed up.
Van reached for the pendant that was safely tucked underneath his shirt, looking at it like it was supposed to answer all his questions and erase his doubts. He stopped walking and leaned his back against a nearby wall sliding down it until he was sitting on the ground, not letting his eyes of the pendant as he did so.
*Why now? Why now of all times?* Van let out a frustrated sigh letting go of the pendant, making it fall back to rest against his chest. He drew his knees up to his chest and rested his aching head against them.
"What am I supposed to do?" The question was barely audible so if anyone was nearby they would have just heard it as a mumble. Van's breathing started to get shallow as he drifted of to sleep.
~~**~~
There were two images in front of him, one of Hitomi and the other one of Princess Lana. They were both facing away from him at the moment. Then they turned, moving in the exact same way like the one was a reflection of the other. Then they reached out their hands towards him, speaking his name.
The only thing that wasn't the same about them was the expression on their faces. Lana looked genuinely happy, while Hitomi had a sad and kind of pained look on her face.
He didn't know witch one to reach out to. Suddenly the pendant started to glow. Van looked down at it in confusions. Then the chain was floating up over his head, and then hung in mid air in front of him. It started to swing right then left, like it was trying to decide witch girl he should to choose.
Then it chattered right in between the two images.
~~**~~
Van sat up straight looking like he had seen a ghost. He put a trembling hand against his forehead and shook his head lightly, his eye's wide in disbelief.
"What was that?" He took the pendant in one of his hands, just to make sure it was still whole. His face was set in confusion as he got up of the floor.
*It must have been a dream. My mind is just cluttered with a lot of things. It's understandable...*
Van got to his room and just stood in front of the door for several minutes, lost in thought, before he eventually walked inside.
~~**~~
Hitomi didn't sleep well during the night, she was afraid that she would have other visions if she fell asleep.
When the morning rays drifted trough her window she stirred and groggily opened her eyes just to shut them tightly, draping an arm over her them, to escape the annoying light.
After a while there was a knock on her door making her sit up and brushed her hair away from her face letting out a tired sigh.
"Coming." She called towards the door as she got out of the bed and dug out her jeans from her bag and quickly slipped them on. She then straightened out the shirt that she had slept in before walking over to the door.
"...Princess Lana?" The said princess was standing outside Hitomi's door, clad in a light blue sundress.
"Good morning Hitomi. I just wanted to ask you if you would like to join me for breakfast." Hitomi was a bit surprised at Lana's cheeriness but nodded.
"Sure, just let me get dressed and stuff..."
The princess gave her a warm smile and nodded.
"Of course take your time, I'll wait."
Hitomi smiled back and then closed the door to go and freshen up and get dressed.
When she was done she took a quick look in a mirror and frowned slightly at her messy hair but just combed her fingers trough it a few times then went to meet Lana.
Lana was leaning against a wall but quickly straightened up when Hitomi emerged from the room.
"Well I'm ready to go now." Hitomi closed the door behind her then looked over at the princess, there was something odd with her but she couldn't put her finger on what.
"Well then we should get going to the garden, it's so wonderful this time of day." Lana led the way and there wasn't much conversation between them during the walk.
Hitomi looked around for Van or Allen but didn't see either of them. She let out a small sigh and felt the princess looking at her. She glanced over at the princess who gave her a concerned look.
"Are you alright Hitomi?"
Hitomi felt a little taken back by the concerned in her voice, she then gave the princess a reassuring smile and waved a hand to dismiss the matter.
"I'm fine Princess Lana. Just a little tired."
"I didn't wake you up to early did I?" Hitomi looked at her wristwatch and it was past 9. Not disturbingly early but she woke because of the sun anyway.
"No, it's all right. Don't worry about it."
They arrived at the garden a little while later and sat down at a table that had been set out for them. Hitomi wasn't that hungry but didn't want to offend Lana so she took some tee and sipped it slowly.
"Sugar?" The princess suddenly asked as she motioned to the tray. Hitomi looked over at Lana and shook her head.
"No thanks, this is just fine." She thought she saw something resembling irritation flash over the princess face but she ignored it.
On one of the balconies Allen was keeping an eye over the two girls with a slight frown on his face.
