Dedication-Ase, Katana, and KoshiMoero. Thankyou all so much for the reviews^_^_^_^_^




Aya paced impatently in the walls of her new cell. Miguel told her they'd been taken to Fred, capital of Astoria. Migel wasn't bad company really. A bit serouse, but kind. But Miguel wasn't much of a talker,
leaveing Aya to her thoughts. Which she had pleanty. She was pretty sure that Dilandau would come for her like before. He would save her...and Migel........or at least she hoped so. As little of Fred she had
seen, she was pretty sure they had a rather powerful miltary. Not that she didn't belive in Dilandau's fighting abiltys, but still.....the doubt was their in the corner of her mind. Making itself well known.

Suddenly the door to their dugen was thrusted open. Aya backed away as they suddenly opened her cell door. Feeling true fear she backed away. Winceing as she was grabbed ruffly by the arms and being
pulled from her cell. Behind her she could hear Miguel's shouts for them to leave her alone. She glared angrly at the burly men that walked her quickly down the corridor. She was shuved into a practicly
empty room. She glanced around the dimly lit room in distain. She knew their was anouther in the room. She could feel the air currents as they moved. Then she saw him.

He had spikey wild black raven hair. Redish brown eyes that peirced into her very soul. He dressed in plain dark pants and a red sleeveless shirt. She looked him up and down lazly. She looked down at his
side her eyebrow cocking slightly as she noticed his sword at his side.

She brushed her hair behind her shoulder as she spoke,"And who might you be? Hmm?"

He walked toward her and began to half circle her like a lion circling its prey,"You should know that. It was you were part of the empire that destroid my country."

Aya smirked,"I think you may be confused, boy, I destroid no part of your country."

He glared at her,"I am in no way confused, girl, I know full well you with that blood hound Dilandau!"He spat his name like a curse.

Aya glared,"Your nothing more then a jerk who dosen't even know what hes talking about."she shot back.

Van cocked an eyebrow as his own eyes burned into hers,"Who are you?"

Aya moistened his lips,"Why do you care?"

Van narrowed his eyes,"Your not going to corroperate are you?"

Aya fingered a lock of her hair her eyes never leaveing Van's,"No."

Suddenly Van smirked,"Fine. I can wait. But I do want to know one thing, why are you so loyal to Zeibock?"

Aya looked away a momment. Takeing a deep breath she looked back up at Van,"Becouse, they are my only friends. They excepted me when outhers did not. Their my family now."

Van frowned at her. If she spoke the truth, then this was going to be a little harder then he thought,"Do you relize that your so called 'family' is an emper that has killed thousands?"

Aya furrowed her brow in suprise then anger,"You lie! And if they killed any one I-I-I'm sure their was a good resone for it!"

Van stopped circeling her and started walked mencingly infront of her, forceing her back a few steps,"Really!? I'm sure my country did nothing to be attacked by cowards in stealth cloaks and have all of
Fannlia burt to the ground!"

Aya swallowed hard as she pressed herself hard agenst the cold brick wall,"No. Your lieing!"

Van's eyes burned with anger. He leaned agenst her cruely. His dark eyes flashing with barely restrained hatered,"For the final time girl! I. Do. NOT. Lie."He spoke between clinched teeth.

Aya swallowed hard. Her eyes wide. For the first time in long time since she'd come to Gaea she felt fear. Pure undieing fear. He could easily kill her. She relized, and noone would stop him. For the first time,
doubt cicled in her mind. Did Zeibock really....destroy an innocent country?

Aya glanced up into the boys eyes that stood so close to her."D-did they really destroy your country?"her voice was soft and timid. She feared the answer he would give.

"Yes."his voice was cold and filled with anger.

Aya blinked back furiouse tears she would not show,"W...Was Dilandau with them? He uses a red Gyemilth....its different from the outhers..."

"Yes."came his answer once more.

"Why?"her voice became as cold and distance as Van's.

"Becouse they are after the end of everything. Ultiment power, or didn't you already know that?"he asked. His eyes narrowing in confusion. How could she not know that? She'd been with Zeibock for a while.

Aya felt her legs turn to jelly and she could feel tears burning in her eyes,"I'd like to go back to my cell, now."

Van looked as though he was going to deni her request but relented as he saw the look in her eyes. Sadness. Anger. Anguish. Confusion. Slowly he led her back to her cell.
