Oh Hope ~ 5
By *~A White Rose Petal~*
Disclaimer- No folks I don't own anything got that…well…actually I own the plot, Hope, Alex, Dwes, Glowe, and…GABRIELLA! Yeah! Or should I say no…anyway…to the A/N!
A/N: Well…here's the next part and I'm writing it why I am sick. Don't know why you need to know…I suppose I just wanted to tell you…SEE YA! To the story…
~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
"Alex..." Van whispered. Alex looked up to him smudgely. He had a grin on his face not much different from what Gabriella's had been...
"Alexander! You're back! What took you so long?" Gabriella asked. Van and Hitomi both looked shocked
and looked at eachother.
"Van..." Hitomi whispered. Panic started to rise in her voice. Merle looked around. Nobody seemed to
notice her. Not even the boy. She slowly walked over to Hope, hoping to keep this up. She went around
to Hope and circled her arms around Hope trying to pick her up off the floor. Hope looked shocked at first but Merle signaled to her to be quiet and she obeyed.
"What are you doing Alex?!" Hitomi whispered even though she knew that everybody heard it.
"Dear, dear, Hitomi…trustworthy ::snicker:: Hitomi…"
"Shut up will you?" Van said. His hand was hovering over the handle of his sword. Dwes was looking at Alex with wide eyes.
"What ARE you doing, Alex?" He said repeating Hitomi's question.
"What does it look like Dwes? I'm putting up the proper throne to the correct queen!" Everybody looked shocked in the room except Alex, Gabriella, and Glowe. He had known about this all along. It was Alex who had trained him. He always thought that what he was doing was right and never questioned the orders he was given. He was now though… What he was doing…was it right? Was he doing the right thing? He didn't know. He was only five years old after all.
"G-Gabriella?!" Van whispered hoarsely. Both he and Hitomi knew what Merle was doing and was trying to help her by taking all of the attention away from them.
"Why of course Van-nee. You apparently seem speechless! I'm so happy!" Van immediately knew who's voice that was. He was now sure he was going to throw up. It's coming any minute now…any minute…He thought. Hitomi immediately knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but turn her head to the left and roll her eyes.
"She's not good for you lord Van! She disrespecting you this minute!" Alex spit out of his mouth all eyes turned to Hitomi who looked taken back.
"W-What?" She said. Hope saw what Hitomi did and thought it was kind of funny. It was from her mom who taught her, her little knowledge of being sarcastic…along with Merle's of course. She tried to hold in her laugh. It came out as a small muffled sound that nobody really wanted to pay attention to. Dwes silently moved from his spot by the door when he saw Merle approaching with Hope.
"NO!" Gabriella screeched. She saw Merle putting her other foot out the door. "ALEX! After HER!"
"Of course your majesty." He answered. He turned his back to Van and Hitomi and picked up his arrow.
"No." Van said calmly. He had his sword out and was now pushing it to Alex's throat. Alex halted.
"Now Van…do you really think that that is a good idea?" He said smoothly.
"Do you know how it isn't?"
"Haven't I been trustworthy all these years?"
"Just to turn you back to us the moment when we might need your help the most!"
This talking battle heaved on until Alex got up enough courage to turn around and look Van in the face.
"Well lord Van, I seem to have no choice."
"What are you talking about Alex?"
"GLOWE, NOW!"

Merle was running with Hope in her arms. Her dress was torn because she turned the one corner to quickly and she and Hope both fell into the mud. Merle turned around making sure that her back hit the floor first so that Hope wouldn't get hurt to badly. She got a few small scratches and had mud all over her face and clothes. Merle said her quick apologies to her and kept on running with an aching back and scratched up legs and stomach, the arms didn't look to good either. But she didn't care. She had her own task to do and wasn't going to let a few small injuries get in her way. She quickly stopped when she heard the sound of two pieces of heavy metal come together into a loud clash.
'Swords…LORD VAN!' She thought. She started to run faster. Hope heard it too and Merle didn't know that she said that out loud. 'Daddy…' Hope thought. Her eyes started crying again. Making small rivers on her dirty little face.
