Well, only a few reviews but I'm still going to continue. Hope you think over the story because I'm falling and I can't get up! on w/ the story.
~~
Running foot halls ran down a narrow hallway away from the scene she just made. Mina kept on running but she didn't know she was being followed by someone. As she neared her room, the young teen was about to open the run in when someone called her name.
"Mina, wait!" it yelled.
The girl looked over her shoulder to find Hitomi running the way she came. Not sparing anymore time, she flung herself into the room and was about to shut it when the women stopped her in time.
"Please, I want to be left alone. Ho away Hitomi." said Mina.
"Will you please let me in? Maybe I can help you, please Mina? I know I can if you let me."
"No! They'll just send me to prison just for hitting a solider. I'll never see my friends because-"
"Mina please! You have it wrong!" said the women.
Hitomi tried her best to keep the door open but the girl seemed to be stubborn. Suddenly, her psychic senses went wild! Something strange just appeared by the door on the other side. Before she knew it, the door started to burn. Pulling away, a dark voice was heard from the room Mina was in.
"Leave me or else" it said, the tone harsh yet it was farmilier.
Her eyes went wide. The feeling went so wild she backed away. Her senses were starting to hurt that she clutched her head in pain. Soon the power like feeling was growing rapidly. She couldn't take it that she screamed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Van had sent the soldiers back to their posts and Shane was being tended by Riaka. Soon his mind went to Hitomi and Mina. Somehow, earlier he sensed some power. It was big but that it was there for a second. hen he heard the smack that echoed through the palace then found Lady Mina on the floor while Shane just stood there, his cheek dark red. He knew instantly that the girl had slapped him but for what reason? Shane had done nothing to anyone in of front him but protecting him form the old Zaibach soldiers. So why did that girl get mad? What had Shane done to her? Once they would settle down he would talk to both of them in private.
The king started to make his way back to the throne room when Merle came out of nowhere. She purred by his side when they both stopped instantly. Merle's ears went around for sounds while her fur was on end. Soon the feeling he felt earlier appeared again. It was stronger then before. His sense went wild that he winced in pain. Soon a blood like scream was heard. It sounded feminine, it was Hitomi! Panic flooded through him. Was she hurt? Was an unknown enemy in the country? He suddenly felt a tug on his arm by cat like companion. he knew what she meant so he nodded. Closing his eyes he concentrated on the aura of the feeling while searching for Hitomi. The red altantian pendent appeared in his mind when it swung to the direction he wanted. Snapping his eyes open, Van pointed to where the pendent directed to Merle.
"There! Merle go ahead of me, I'll take the stairs. If it's to dangerous, then back off!"
His feline companion nodded and shot off to where Van had pointed. She was braver then 3 years earlier though she doesn't go into battles. Sprinting from his spot, the king made his way down the wood stairs. As he ran he prayed for Hitomi to be alright.

In the room Shane and Riaka were in, Riaka went stiff. Her fur went on edge and her claws were starting to show. Shane watched her intensely, ready for anything that might spring out. The only reason his friend was getting defensive was that there was something wrong. Soon, something felt strange that it made him go uneasy. It was similar to the force that shot through him when Mina slapped him! He had to find it to see what it was. Grabbing his scabbard from the near by table, Shane ran from the room to the source, Riaka at his heels.
Soon, a scream was heard not to far away but he didn't stop running. Someone just screamed and it wasn't one of his guards.
Going through seven different hallways he turned a corner sharply when he stopped fast, Riaka grabbing the rail just to not run into him. His king appeared at he other end of the hallway, five guards behind him. The feeling went away a minute ago but what he saw was made him curious yet scared. On the floor was Lady Hitomi, her face streaked with pain but that she was shaking rapidly. She was lying in front of door that was ash black, like it was on fire. AS Van went to the blond haired women, Sahne pulled out his sword and looked into the room. Riaka still wasn't calm. Her fur was on end and she didn't agree to follow his lead. Yet he gasped as she nudged him to look at Hitomi.
"What happened Hitomi? Are you alright?" asked Van.
The women clutched onto the Fanelian king in horror, her face pale. Merle soon appeared but that her fur wasn't on end as Riaka's. Her purple eyes went dark as she glared into the room as her female friend started to explain.
"Did you feel it Van? I did but it was so powerful. I tried to get her to talk to me but then-the door was getting hot like there was a fire in the room. Then some aura appeared and made my senses go crazy! I couldn't stand it that I screamed. Yet that's wasn't the only thing I felt. Someone was in there, not only Mina. I tried to get up yet her presence was gone. She was gone but I think she wasn't herself...that power was from her...she did it..."
Then the women fell limp in Van's arms. Merle continued to glare into the room for it was empty. Shane walked in and looked around. Soon he saw a that the other side of the door wasn't burnt. He was going to check the rest of the room till everyone gasped from outside.
"Shane-same, come here!" yelled Riaka, her voice filled with panic.
Walking out, the young captain stepped out of the room angrily. "Riaka! i said not to call me-" Then he stopped talking as the sky caught his eye. It was black, filling the whole sky.
"The sky is black. The first side of those retched Guardians!" said a solider in horror. "They are coming soon to end all of Gaea!"
"No!" yelled Riaka. "We don't have to worry about that right now. We have more important things to do. Like caring for Miss Hitomi and looking for Mina! She disappeared and that we should be looking for her!"
"She's right Lord Van. We don't know what caused that aura of power nor where Lady Mina went. The Guardians will be unleashed soon so we have to act fast." said Shane.
Everyone looked at him. There was determination in those eyes. He clenched his fists hard and looked at the women his king was holding. Who ever did this to Lady Hitomi was powerful but she said Mina did it. What happened to her and where did she go? Does she have something to do with the Guardians? He would have to look for her to ask her some questions.
"Shane-sama? Don't forget to straighten things out between you two okay?" she purred. She knew exactly what her master was thinking and that she wanted Mina to be safe. She looked up to the sky and started praying that she was okay.
~~
Yup another cliffhanger. You might have some questions of your own but that here are the general ones: What happened to Mina? Where did the strange power come from and that what does the first sing really mean? Are these Guardians good or bad? You'll find out soon of you review!
