crimson blood
NOTE!!!: for all you Allen fans, you might want to skip this chpt.
Van focused all his strength into the sword... "Get ready... may sword meet flesh." He whispered, sweat dripping into his eyes. With that, he plunged the sword forward and....
was blocked by Allen again.
Allen's sword wavered and shook slightly. Allen cried out holding his wrist. He stopped and rubbed his sore wrist, thinking "Van's power has really improved, that last slash of sword was really strong."
Van growled in frustration. His chest heaved up and down from using excess amounts of energy. Sweat poured from his forehead into his eyes, but Van refused to blink.
"Oh my sword.." He thought feverishly clashing swords with Allen once more. "How could you fail me..."
As soon as those words escaped his mouth, Van suddenly, swerved his sword around Allen, and sword and man jumped into the air. Allen was taken by surprise as Van used his sword and tripped Allen onto the ground.
With a shout, Allen's knees buckled and he fell back first onto the ground, brilliant locks of blond hair cascading all over the ground.
With another wave of his sword, Van pointed it at Allen's neck.
"N-nice...nice work Van.." Allen said his chest heaved.
"First time you've won." With that, he tried to get up.
Van's sword never moved. with that, Allen's neck almost met the tip of the sword.
"Van?" Allen said with a little confusion in his voice. "Sparring's over. Remove your sword!"
Van just simply stood there pointing his sword brutally at Allen's throat, his eyes flashing through of hatred and amusement.
He shook his head.
"Shezar, you will die today. you have the word of the King of Fanelia."
-Hitomi-
She woke up from her dreams with a soft smile plastered on her face. "Oh Van... I love you too..."
Suddenly, her eyes widened and she sat up, arranging her bangs that had got into her face. "It was just a dream..."
All of a sudden, the forest disappeared. She saw Van, with sweat pouring off his face, holding a sword with his fists clenched above Allen's body. "AHHHHHH"
With a loud cry, Van plunged his sword down into Allen's heaart.
Allen screamed, then dark, crimson blood gushed from his wound, staining Van's pants. Van just smirked, running a finger down the blade of his sword, then licked the blood off.
"Now we'll see if you'll ever win her over again..."
"NOOOOO! VAN!!! STOP IT!" Hitomi screamed falling to the ground.
The vision disappeared and she was back into the forest.
"Van wouldn't kill Allen! It's not like him!"
Hitomi stood up and began running back to the castle.
She had to stop Van from killing Allen.
-Van-
With a loud cry, Van directed his sword right over Allen's heart and began plunging it down.
"Van! what are you doing?" Allen screamed desperately, still not understanding why his friend was trying to kill him.
Van began smirking. "See if you'll ever win her over again!"
All of a sudden, Van stopped, the tip of the blade poised right above Allen's shirt.
Hitomi was telling him to stop. Suddenly, the pendant around his neck began to glow.
Van looked curiously down at the pendant. It had never glowed before. Suddenly, he remembered the task at hand and raised his sword again, and with maddening force, he lowered it into Allen's chest.
"Van! Stop it!"
An urgent voice cried from the edge of the forest.
"Huh?"
Van said, and his sword plunged into Allen's stomach, but not Allen's heart.
Allen's tortured cries could be heard, as he doubled over in pain, and his dark blood began gushing out, staining his clothes and Van's pants. Van whirled around to face the voice.
"Hit..Hitomi?"
Hitomi stood on the bottom of the stone steps that led to the castle doors in shock.
All she saw was the boy she loved stabbing a sword into Allen. Tears of shock came to her eyes as she ran up the steps and knelt beside Allen's body. "Van.. Why did you do it?" Hitomi cried, tears falling all over Allen's shirt. With one hand, she held Allen's forearm, with the other, she tried to get him to sit up.
"H-Hitomi.." Allen whispered. "Allen?" Hitomi answered
back tearfully leaning her ear in to Allen's lips to listen better.
"Hitomi.. y-you have t-to get away.. r-run. H-he's not who you t-think he is. he's a m-maniac... he's-" With that, Allen fell back, whispering Hitomi's name.
"Allen! Don't go!" Hitomi cried squeezing Allen's hand.
She didn't even notice the raven haired boy with the crazed look on his face fuming above her.
