AN: Last chapter! Sorry if the
characters are a little ooc…Um… enjoy. Not much to say…
Amor che a nullo amato amar
perdona,
Amor condusse noi a dura
morte.
Love conquers
all
Love led us to
death.
Van
was on his horse. He was perusing something. What he was pursuing, he does not
know, but he is going somewhere. He had a feeling he has to go somewhere. And
that Hitomi is there. That was the only drive on which he has to go on like
this, riding in the dark. He has on only his undergarment, a red shirt and light
brown pants. He welcomed the comfort the outfit gave him. He knew he looked like
Hell, but he didn't care, the life and death of his betrothed depends on him,
nothing else really matter. The outside world became one big blur there was
nothing but him. Him riding on his horse, and his final destination: Hitomi. He
didn't know how he knew the place, nor did he care, he was just glad that he
did.
Van
stopped. His vision focused on the fortress before him. He knew, he knew it in
his guts that this is the place. Hitomi has got to be here. But truly, he did
not. IT was a gamble. He knew it was. A gamble, Hitomi can be lying somewhere,
dead. God, I hope not. He drew a deep breath and walked in. Hoping with
all his worth that he was right. He moment he stepped within the bounds of the
castle, he knew that his instincts were right. The place was filled with
Hitomi's aura. A lump formed in his throat, he was suddenly unable to breathe.
Tears welled up in his eyes, "H-Hitomi…"
He
ran. He ran blindly, not knowing where he was going, but he knew, he had to run.
He had to escape from this piece of hell, he has to find Hitomi. He has to feel
her; he has to wrap his arms around her slender frame. He knew he would sooner
die if he can't find her.
The
pendant glowed slightly as he reached a room. He didn't notice the light the
pendant was setting off.
His
hands wrapped around the cool knob. Hitomi's here. He opened the door,
half expecting a thousand arrows to pierce him. But he was only welcomed by
silence. The room was set in darkness. He could only make out a shape. A vague
shape atop the bed. Van ventured forward. His heart drummed away. He was half
afraid that his heartbeat alone would wake the sleeping shape. He finally
reached the bed. He could see now that the figure was a female.
Hitomi…
The
figure must've sensed his presence because it was moving now. Van instinctively
took a step back, only to find a pair of gentle green eyes upon him. She
murmured one word, "Van…"
His
heart jumped. Could, could that be…Hitomi?
"Hitomi…?" Van walked a few
steps, still unsure if what he was seeing was a work of his mind.
"Van."
He
knew. He just knew from that single word that it truly was Hitomi. For no one
else has ever spoken his up with so much…love. He immediately hugged her, just
enjoying the ability be within each other's presence again. So happy to be with
each other.
Suddenly the serenity all to quickly gone, Folken
appeared and thundered when he saw Van d Hitomi together.
"You!" he pointed at Van, his finger quivering slightly,
"What are you doing here/ are you trying to get yourself killed? Because a trip
to my fortress uninvited is signing your own death certificate. And I assure
you, you will die tonight." His voice was calm, but there was an underlining
menace.
Hitomi shuddered at this. She knew he meant it, and she
knew he also had the power to do exactly as he said. She stepped forward in the
direction of Folken, "Folken, I know you miss my mother. But believe me this is
not what she would've wanted you to do. If you love her you would let us go."
Hitomi seemed to have hit the jackpot, for a split second
she thought she saw him taking his hand out of the attacking position, but was
gone all too soon. "You don't' know anything about your mother and I. Nothing!"
He took his hand back and threw a flash of energy it lit up the room for the
split second it was in the air; hitomi saw the target it was aiming towards.
"Van!!" she screamed as she lunged at him. And all in the
same second the ball of energy hit her. She gave a short scream then…
Silence.
"H-Hitomi?" Van whispered, caressing her hair, her still
beautiful, short hair. He looked up once more at Folken and jumped up. He lunged
at him with his sword giving a wild warrior cry.
Folken only looked at Hitomi's limp body. Only it wasn't
Hitomi, it was, "Sora…" he whispered. He didn't' see Van lunging at him, only a
sharp pain in his abdomen as he saw the blood gushing out all over his hand like
water. He gave a maniacally laugh, and with his final breath he tried his attack
again. Only this time it hit its target. Van stared in surprise, taking in the
pain and left the world, with "Hitomi" as his last word.
All
three had died. No one was to blame but Cupid, and his arrows. Once the arrows
pierced their target, it was sure to be a tragedy.
Lord
Allen became King Allen. After the death of the crowned prince the only son of
the former King and Queen, they had made Allen the heir to the kingdom, knowing
their son would've wanted that. Allen married Milerna and they had one son,
called Van. The little Prince would often stumble upon the great painting in the
Great Hall. A painting of a honey blonde girl with a sweet smile and lovely
green-eyes and a young man with raven hair and a handsome face. Van never saw
these people other than in that painting yet he knew them, an age-long bone-deep
knowledge of their tragic story and undying love.
Amor che a nullo amato amar

Love conquers all,
Love led us to death.
Requiem, softly.

the dead.]
