Merle broke down in sobs and jumped off Hitomi's bed, sprinting to the door. She turned one last time to glare at Hitomi with tearful eyes. "I can't believe you can just turn a blind eye. I thought you were in love with Van. If you won't help him then I will! I hate you Hitomi!"
Hitomi sat there, speechless as Merle sprinted out of the room, sobbing.

Hitomi dropped her head in her hands. "W-what's wrong with me? Why was I defending Allen? Van needs me! I don't love Allen! I love Van! Poor Merle..." She still heard the cat-girl's voice ringing in her head.

"...he did it because he loves you..."

That thought was interupted by some angry shouting outside.

"Get out of my way blondie! You killed Lord Van!" A frantic thin voice shouted, followed by an angry meow.

"Ow! Merle!" a man's voice yelled angrilly. Hitomi heard tearing of clothing, and the pattering of paws as Merle ran off. (ahahhahahha)

Suddenly, the door banged open and Allen strode in with a concerned look on his handsome face. He walked up to Hitomi and sat gently next to her. "Are you alright? Did Merle say some mean things to you?"
Hitomi noticed that there were some claw marks on Allen's clothes.

She shook her head, tears slipping over her cheeks.

"Hitomi?" Allen asked, putting an arm around her.
Hitomi stiffened and stood up, shrugging off his arm.

"What's wrong Hitomi?" Allen asked with a soft gentle voice. He stood up and placed his hands on her shoulder. Hitomi could feel his breath on her neck.

"Allen..." Hitomi protested her voice raising in annoyed intervals.

"Shhh... don't say anything." Allen whispered slipping his arms around her waist. "I know you want me bad."

He leaned closer and kissed her neck.

"What are you doing?" Hitomi yelled prying him off her and backing away. "What do you mean by that?"

Allen smiled seductively and came closer to her. "I saw the concern and lust in your eyes when you were saving me from that murderer Van. You know I'm the dang hottest guy you'll ever meet. And besides," Allen said tossing his hair and coming closer to her. "I know you enjoy the attention I give you. You just desire me. And I'll fulfill all your wild desires!"

He advanced towards Hitomi again and grabbed her, kissing her full on the mouth.

"Mmmrfff!" Hitomi cried trying to push Allen off her. But he was too strong. She tried backing off again but felt the wall behind her. She felt a wave of panic swarm over her. She saw Allen shrug off his outer coat and pull off hers.

Still kissing her, Allen practically carried the struggling Hitomi to her bed lay down with her on it.

Hitomi tried pushing him off her but he was too heavy. She felt his tongue pertrude her mouth.

"Somebody help me!" She thought desperately.

-Van-

"Hitomi!" Van cried gripping the bars tightly with fisted hands. "She's in trouble!" He gripped the pendant tightly, feeling the urgent glow.
"I... can't save her..." Van exclaimed beads of sweat clinging to his forehead.

"Shit!" Van yelled again banging his head on the bars with frustration. "Hitomi... I'm sorry..."

-Hitomi-

Allen gripped her wrists tightly, forcing her against the bed. "You're mine. By the time I'm finished with you, Van will be dead." Allen smirked running his fingers through Hitomi's hair.

Hitomi shook under his grasp. Tears slid from her eyes as she closed them. "I'm so sorry Van..." She thought.

Suddenly, the door banged open and a high surprised voice screamed "Allen!?"

Allen, being interrupted from his 'task at hand' sat up, still gripping Hitomi's wrists, his lips still touching Hitomi's.

It was Millerna. She stood at the door, shaking like a leaf, her mouth half open, speechless.

"Y-you..." She just stood there staring at Allen. Seizing this chance, Hitomi gathered all her courage and bit Allen hard on the lip.

"Owww!" Allen cried releasing Hitomi's wrists to cradle his bleeding bottom lip.
"bitch!"

Hitomi pulled on her clothes, and ran out of the room, speeding by the shaking Millerna.

"Allen that sleazy pervert!" She cried running as fast as she could out of the castle.
She ran and ran, until she reached a fork.
She leaned over, hands on knees, to catch her breath.
Then, she raised her eyes to look at the sign.

"...Zaibach territory, 15 km..."

"...Palas jail and river, 10 km..."

"10 km?" Hitomi thought, her breath caught in her throat. But just the thought of Van being killed gave her a rush of adrenaline through her veins.

She began running again, straight towards the jail.
