Hitomi cried out in the lonly cell. She started to sob and her stress and frustration shot out.
"Why!! Why do I feel so hunted? Why do I always have to be the victim!! WHY!!" she screamed and squirned around in the chair she was tied to.
Hot tears streamed down her face. "I hate Gaea!!!!" she screamed.
Van, on the Escaflowne dragon, flew towards where the pendant swung. His face stern and serious.
His teeth gritted and his eyes glared with anger as he thought. Why couldnt they leave Hitomi out of this? Why did they have to torture his only love? He snarled as he continued the path the pendant was guiding him.
Hitomis one hand finally submerged from the rope which was tightly tied around her hands. A ray of hope finally shone in her mind.
She got her other hand out of the rope and bent down to untie the ropes which were wrapped tightly around her feet. Her wrists had red markings on them from the rope and as did her feet.
They were soar and weak. She groaned. "Those bakas.." She stood up and wobbled around a bit. At least she could still walk she thought.
She walked up to the closed door and tried to pull it open. It was locked. She groand and slid down on her knees sobbing. Why does this always seem to happen to her?
Van saw that the pendant was leading him to the floating fortress which was a little ways off into the distance.
He angerily growled. "I will destroy them. I will stop this."
Dilandou tapped a knife on a table humming. He stood up and shoved the table across the other side of the room.
"AUGH!! Folken!!" he yelled. "When is he going to get here? I hate it when people make me wait!" Folken sneered, "He will be hear soon Dilandou now sit down and wait."
Dilandou crossed his arms and sat down, looking annoyed.
Hitomi then saw a guard pass by and she remembered what Malerna had taught her about tricking guards. She grinned and yelped.
"Oh please..help me..I'm going to die.." she said weakly. She was acting, she was pretty good too. The guard peered out in the little window in the room and saw Hitomi laying on the ground.
"Miss are you alright?" he said. Hitomi looked up, "Oh please..my foot is stuck in this hole in the ground and Ive been struggleing for hours trying to get it out.."
The guard felt sorry for her. He had heard what Dilandou had done to her. He then nodded and opened the door. He saw that there was no hole!? Hitomi kicked the guard in the face and sent him into the wall
behind him, mkaing him fall over unconious. Hitomi stood up and walked out of the room. She felt utterly proud of herself and she smiled a very weak small smile.
Van finally reached the fortress and landed the Dragon on the side of the fortress. He jumped out and ran inside a small chamber. He looked around.
He wanted to find Hitomi but he also wanted to fight and kill Dilandou and even his brother. He took out his sword.
"I will destroy you brother and Dilandou as well.." he glared.
Folkens eyes widened a bit, "He is here" he said calmly. Dilandou stood up excited, "Yes!!" he exclaimed. "Finally time for some killing!"
he snickered. Folken shook his head. "No. Van and I have to settle this ourselfs. Dont worry if I die he will probably come for you. And I might die as well. His strength has
improoved alot." He walked out of the room. Dilandou yelled, "No!! I want to fight.." he growled.
Hitomi made her way through the fortress. She reconized some paths from her last visit. She came into a large cooridoor and saw Van looking around.
She smiled weakly, "Van!" she called out just before she colapsed on her knees. "Hitomi!" Van replied and ran to her. He knelt down and took her arm gently helping her up.
"Hitomi what happened?" he said sternly. Hitomi winced and hugged Van, smothering her face in his shoulder. "Van..Van it was terrible! What they did to me..what they did.." she started to sob.
Van embraced Hitomi. "Hitomi..please dont cry I'll make things better." Van squeezed her hand tightly. "Hitomi stay here I'm going to go destory Dilandou and Folken." Hitomi grabbed his arm, trying to hold him back.
"Van..please be careful" after that she let go and closed her eyes. She looked pale and almost dead. Van looked at her with pained eyes. "Hold on Hitomi..I will take back your honor and get revenge.." He softly put his hand on her cold cheek and got up, running down a hall.
"Folken!!" he yelled. "Come on out you coward!" He stopped when he entered a large empty room. He walked to the middle and looked around.
"Van.." came a voice from a shadow in front. Folken stepped out. "Brother.." Van glared. ...
