Escaflowne Among The Clouds Part 3

Hitomi was wondering where Von was (because he usually didn't stay out this late) so she went to go look for him. She found his sword resting on a rock. "Where is he?" she looked over the water "He must have flown away but why? This isn't like him....Somethings wrong, really wrong." She closed her eyes a tear rolled down her cheek. She didn't know why she was so worried-but she had a bad feeling about this. She closed her eyes and wished she could see him. She was thinking so hard that she didn't notice her pendant start to shimmer.. The light grew stronger and Hitomi opened her eyes, the glow gradually faded and she realized she was no longer standing in the woods but on a beach. She could see a figure in the distance. Von? She ran towards him. He had his back to her and it looked like he was crying. Hitomi was really surprised-she'd never seen him cry. She wasn't sure what to do but put her hand on his shoulder.

He turned around slowly. " Hitomi?...I...he turned turned to face the ocean again. After a long time he sighed. " Hitomi.... I think you and I should just go back to being friends." He looked at her. She looked really shocked, " Von I can't go back to the way things were before I really can't. Why do you want to? What's this really about Von? She looked like she was going to start crying. Von felt like he was going to explode... he just couldn't stand it anymore so he stood up. Von tell me what's wrong! Hitomi yelled. Von spread his wings and flew away without saying anything or looking back..... He knew if he did he would start crying again. Hitomi just stood their wondering what she was going to do....

Sorry it took so long to get this part out. I had a severe case of writer's block.
