~In the woods~
Hitomi had a large grin on her face, she looked like a giddy child who just got a large gift with the toy she wanted
inside.
"You're kidding me right?" Said Hitomi.
"Nope! All true!" Merle looked very pleased with herself. Hitomi's smile grew larger. 'Hehe' She
thought,'this is going to be good!' Together the two grinning girls went home on the horses.
Neither knew what terrible thing could destroy what they had both just worked VERY hard for.
*******************************************************************
When the two arrived home, Van looked grave.
"Hitomi, Merle where were you?" He said. He tried to look pleasant but failed horribly. Hitomi looked puzzled and caring
at the same time. She climbed off the horse she was riding and walked over to Van. She put her hands on her hips.
"Van...what's wrong?" She asked. Van sighed and gave her a piece of scroll. Hitomi read the contents and gasped.
"What is it Merle asked. Hitomi had her hand over her mouth she looked like she was ready to cry. With her free
hand, Hitomi passed Merle the letter. Her eyes opened wide when she read.
Dear Van Fanel,
As of ten years ago, your parents came to meet me about my daughter. We both agreed by the time you turn seventeen you will learn of this. This came early, yes but you needed to know about it, no? Gabriella, my daughter, will be there in a few days if not sooner. She is a wonderful young woman and hopefully, to you, wife. Farewell and good day. Can't wait for the wedding!
~(^)~
The King of Graos closed the letter with his seal.
"Oh My gosh! I forgot about that!" Merle gasped. Van and Hitomi turned around to look at her.
"What do you mean 'I forgot'?" Van asked. He was looking at her intently with Hitomi at his side. Merle was slightly blushing.
"W-when y-your p-p-parents d-d-did th-this they took me a-along in-inside w-w-with them. You w-were
s-s-six th-then…"
"They took you inside…why?"
"They didn't want me to get in trouble…" Van snorted and Merle glared at him, in a friend like way.
"And you remembered that after ten years? You would have been four!" Hitomi said. Apparently she found her voice.
"I know, I know… There was some way to get rid of the wedding engagement…what is it? what is it?" Merle was pounding her head with the palm of her hand like that would bring that one memory out of hiding.
"Well?" Both Hitomi and Van said in unison.
"::sigh:: I forgot…" Merle said. She looked beat.

Hitomi was pacing in her room of the Fanel palace. Many things running through her head.
Oh man, Oh man. Poor Merle! She's the only one who'll be able to remember this! If she doesn't, then Van and I can't be together like that anymore! It must have took Merle a lot of courage to even think about doing that for me! There must be away for me to help her! Come on girl, THINK!
Hitomi was still pacing around the room when Van came in.
"H-Hitomi?" Van caught Hitomi off-guard she looked around and gasped when she started to trip. Van rushed over to her right before she was about to fall.
"Hey Van…" Hitomi said. She was happy to see him but wanted to get away from him at the same time. It wasn't Van's fault about this. She had to keep reminding herself.
"What's Wrong Hitomi?" He asked. He put his hand on her back and started massaging it. Hitomi's eye filled up with tears and she put her face in his red shirt.
"Oh Van!" She whispered. Van kept on rubbing her back and cooing her like she was a baby. Hitomi just wanted to stay there, feeling safe, for the rest of her life.
~~~~~Merle's Room~~~~~
Merle was whispering a lullabye that was in her head ever since she came to the Fanel family. She started to sing it.
Oh My little sweetheart,
Oh my sweet little girl,
Pappa's comin' home soon,
Momma's rockin' you right here,
Baby, Baby,
Listen to my voice,
Baby, Baby,
You will always have a choice.
Have hope in this world,
Have a night to share,
Without all these things,
Nobody would care.
If nobody could care,
If nobody loved,
It would be an awful place,
Yes it would my love!
Sleep little child,
Go back to sleep,
And when you wake up,
All you'll see is daddy and me!
We are watching over you
Giving you what's best
Looking into your future
Is our best bet
But we can not do that
Not even now
If you find somebody who can
Ask them how!
Oh My little baby,
Your eyes are starting to close,
Go for the dreams,
Go for those!
Merle sang this to cool her down. She let her eyes start to droop, slowly, she went to sleep.

This chapter is very short I know but ::shrug:: It was pretty good. I want to make the pieces longer but people are reviewing SO quickly!!! NOT that I don't want you to review quickly…in fact I rather you would!…Will Merle remember how to break the proposal? Will she figure out about the prophecy? Tune in next time when I get 12 reviews!!!
