Thanks for those who reviewed. Sorry for the wrong grammar and missing
words. I just don't get it. When I uploaded the first chapter, they were no
missing words. If someone has any idea how to fix this problem, please tell
me.
Anyway, this is the second chapter. Sorry for the long wait. Hope you like it(

Chapter 2: A Dangerous Flight
"What did that mean? Those houses.they were designed in medieval times. Those robots.I've never seen anything like them. Why did that red giant turn its head towards me? Or, was it someone behind me?"
Those were the thoughts that were haunting Hitomi during her walk to the university. When she entered the building, she was immediately greeted by the sounds of students talking with their friends.
She looked around the place and sighed. Another day much like yesterday, she thought. She looked at her wristwatch and found out that it will only be twenty-five minutes before her first class begins.
Without another thought, she walked to the first classroom she will be staying in for one hour.
Nothing unusual happened that day unless you count the strange vision that Hitomi saw a few hours ago. 'That vision', Hitomi thought while she stopped eating her lunch, 'damn it! I've got to stop thinking about that! I have to concentrate!' She looked at her textbook and an idea popped up. She decided to review for the exam in hopes of getting that accursed vision out of her head for now at least.
After a while, the sandy blond woman looked at her watch and stood up. She grabbed her books and bag. She walked out of the cafeteria. She stood in the middle of the hallway.
She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that something was bout to happen. She looked around and sure enough, she saw the little girl she saw in her vision. The girl was looking at her with joy filled eyes. She took two small steps towards Hitomi and stopped. She bowed and said thank you then disappeared from the awe struck woman.
'Thank you? For what?' Hitomi thought while staring at the place where the mysterious girl vanished.
Snapping out of her thoughts, she shook her head and continued walking to her next class.
The day ended with everyone shouting cries of joy because school was over and spring break has begun. Everyone was happy. Some students ran as fast as they could out of the university. Others stayed behind minding their own business. But there was one person staying on the roof of the university.
She was thinking about the day's unusual occurrences. She looked at the clear blue sky like she was waiting for some kind of answer. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, she was no longer on the rooftop, but was in the burning village once more. She saw the little girl crying, the corpses lying about, the scorching flames and the two giants fighting each other. It was the same. Nothing had changed, nothing at all.
Before noticing it, she was walking to the center of the village. Her mind objected to it for she knew what was to happen if she did so but her body did not listen. No matter how mush her mind protested, her body didn't respond. It was as if someone was controlling her body. Someone wanted to let her see what was going to happen.
She reached the center of the village and saw the two giants up close. With out warning, the red giant looked at her and pointed it hand towards her defenseless body. Her eyes grew and you could see the fear in them. Hitomi had started to panic. She knew what was to happen. She was going to die! She wanted to snap out of this vision right now!
She only heard a word before she found herself pierced with liquid metal. She was too shocked to even scream. She felt intense pain coming from the stab injury. She felt her blood slowly flowing down the liquid metal.
Suddenly, the liquid metal retracted back to the red giants hand with astounding speed. Everything felt like slow motion. The pain however, felt more intensified. She only heard her name being called before she snapped out of her vision.
Closed her eyes only to snap them open once again. She was lying on the rooftop. It looked as if she fainted. She stood up and she began to feel dizzy. She leaned on the rails for support. She was panting like she just ran a two-kilometer marathon.
She was afraid to close her eyes because she might be hit with another vision.
"Die.he said die.why?" Hitomi thought out loud.
She wiped the sweat off her forehead with her arm. She looked around and saw that the sun was already setting. Bracing herself, she slowly walked to the rooftop door and went inside the school.
The hallways were dark and empty. Few people remained at this time of the day. Most of them were in the library researching something while the others were in detention.
Hitomi walked a full ten minutes of silence before arriving at the exit of the building. She went out of the university and started for her apartment.
When she arrived at her destination, she took off her boots and crashed on her bed.
She thought about her vision. It felt so real and the pain, oh the pain. She could still remember how her whole body ached. She was afraid. What if she didn't snap out of the vision sooner? Would she remain there forever? Could she have died if she stayed a minute longer?
She shuddered at the thought. She needed a vacation. Yes, a nice trip to the Bahamas would certainly clear her mind. She would be leaving tomorrow morning and would be staying there for four days. She had been planning that trip for some time now mainly because she wanted to draw the scenery there but her plans had been changed. She was going there to relax and clear her mind of all thoughts.
She reached for her clock and turned on the alarm extra early. She didn't know why but she always liked to be early. She was never late for anything. If her record wasn't early, it was extra early.
She didn't bother changing her clothes because when she closed her eyes, she immediately felt sleep consuming her.
The next day, she woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. She slowly stood up and went to the bathroom just when she was about to close the door; she stopped dead on her tracks. She went out of the bathroom and looked at her noisy clock.
She smiled and turned the alarm off. She went back to the bathroom shaking her head for her foolishness.
An hour had passed and she was already ready to go. She scanned her room for some last minute packing. Her eyes fell upon the cards that were lying dormant on the desk. She walked over to them and stared at them. She was deciding whether she should bring her tarot cards with her or not. But something was telling her she would need their help so she took them and put them in her pocket.
She looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in approval of her outfit. She was wearing a white button shirt with a brown vest outlining her curves. Her short brown skirt was showing off her pale legs and last but not the least, she wore long brown boots. She also had her hair on a braid, which was tied at the end with a green ribbon. All in all, she looked gorgeous.
She took her duffel bag and looked around the room to see if she missed anything before closing the door. She locked it and went outside the apartment. She called for a taxi and told the driver to go to the airport in which her plane was scheduled.
It took thirty minutes to get to the airport. She went in and waited for her plane. She started reading a book that she had brought with her. The book tells about a young woman learning to survive on her own and shows her experience with love. Of course, Hitomi thought that the book was useless but she wanted to study how the writer wrote the story.
After a while, an announcement disrupted the quietness of the airport. After the announcement, Hitomi put the book back in her bag and walked to where her plane was waiting. She gave the let the guards check her bag and when they gave her back her bag, entered the plane. They didn't bother taking her bag since it was small enough to store in the compartment above the seats.
Hitomi found her seat and put her bag in the compartment just above her seat. She sat down and looked outside the window. It was still early in the morning. She could see the blue sky. It was peaceful. Already she could feel all the troubles leaving her.
She sighed and continued looking out the window. After a few moments, the plane started to move and before she noticed, they were already gaining attitude. Hitomi closed her eyes and tried to relax but there was a feeling that was preventing her from relaxing.
She dismissed the feeling and tried once more to relax. All the passengers were quiet. Some were asleep, some were reading, and others were just staring out the window lost in their own thoughts.
None of them noticed the black cloud that was slowly engulfing the plane.
The next chapter will be up on Thursday. Sorry about leaving a cliffhanger. It just wouldn't feel right if I put what will happen in the same chapter. Anyway, I need more reviews people. I also need help thinking of a scene that makes Hitomi and Van closer to each other (Please, no crying, Hitomi does not cry.yet).
Anyway, this is the second chapter. Sorry for the long wait. Hope you like it(
