IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay people, I once said that I hate it when stories are discontinued and never get an ending. I also said that I wouldn't do that. But frankly this story here has cost me more nerves than it is worth to continue it. The last update was waaaaaayyyy back, but that has it's reasons.
At first my muse was slow then my Computer crashed half a year later and everything was gone! When I finally got him back a month later I had exams to learn for and was then over seven weeks in Italy with my parents. Exams having started another writers block it took me sometime to start again and then I wrote it on paper, so it didn't get lost completely again. Sadly exactly those papers mysteriously disappeared after my mom was in my room to bring out the paper-trash (In Germany, paper is picked up separately from other garbage) along with some others I had written and left laying around.
Returning to my last year at school I had redone a bit of the chapter again and had another one for my other story. Then when I had posted said chapter for the other story I somehow got the honour of housing a rather vicious virus that ate up most of my private data and with it the three quarter finished chapter. During that time I was also trying to get through my final exams that took up my time. When those finally finished, my Laptop then decided it didn't like me anymore as the display started to go haywire, always flickering, so I used the PC of my Dad. Then THAT computer decided to go off itself, so once again the chapter was gone! Since then I just didn't have the nerve anymore to continue this story. My nerves are already frazzled enough by the fact that I have already tried for over three weeks to post this!
I have a rough idea how the story should continue and I'm going to outline that here. If someone wishes to finish the story or even rewrite it in his own stile you're gladly welcome to do just that. Just tell me before you do that.
So here is how the story would have gone on:
Hitomi and Van come back to eat with Hitomi's family where Yukari is having kittens because those two are so close now. The school is split in its opinions about the new couple, especially since Millerna wants Van and Allan wants Hitomi. During the Ball where Hitomi shows up in a white dress, she tells Van about the unknown sickness she has. The doctors can't point their fingers on what problem she has, but it has to do something with her lungs and her blood not always able to take up enough oxygen. She makes him promise not to tell but Millerna has overheard the conversation. The next week the whole school seems to know and of course Hitomi thinks Van has told and doesn't talk to him anymore, disappointed in him. When he finally gets to talk to her and it is somehow found out Millerna has overheard, Hitomi has a coughing fit, blood coming out of her mouth before fainting. She is immediately brought into the Hospital in which it is diagnosed, that her lungs are barely away from collapsing but the reason is unknown. When Van heads home it is already dark outside and raining. Just as he wants to cross a street, He is hit by a drunken driver. Ending in the hospital with internal bleeding and in a critical condition he is brought to the room just across from Hitomi's.
Hitomi having heard the commotion as she just woke up asks what has happened. Of course she is shocked and when the nurse leaves again she gets out of bed although she is weak and stumbles to go to Van. She curls up beside him and falls asleep again.
When she "wakes" up again to hear Yukari screaming she watches in fascination as people are trying to review her body as well a Van's.
Van's spirit is standing beside her. Holding each other they watch for another minute, as Yukari is also held by Dillandau, while the rest watch in silent horror. Both bodies have a smile on their face and Van and Hitomi soon disappear to join Hitomi's real parents a short while away.
Hear the story ends.
I was thinking about a sad ending this time, but if someone doesn't like that kind of ending and want to go on writing, feel free to change it.
I don't think I will be writing anymore Escaflowne stories, as my friends are currently bugging me about writing some of my ideas I came up for Harry Potter. And those I am only going to post when I have those stories nearly finished, so there won't be anymore unfinished stories from me on the net.
So, feel free to send me any of your thoughts you might want me to know, even flames if you wish.
Ciao, SaWa-Chan
