Warning:
This chapter is going to
have a major cliffhanger. Don't read the last paragraph if you hate
cliffhangers until I put the next. I just wanted to warn you! ~Firestone~
Disclaimer-You know the drill. I don't own any of these characters or escaflowne. The people who do are very rich people. I envy them.
Notes-Sorry I just had to interrupt Van and Hitomi.
I couldn't just put them straight into a romance. That would make the story
pretty boring ya know? If I get 4 good reviews I won't keep you on suspense for
more than a day. I promise. So r/r.
Southeast of Fanelia…
Van and Allen with their guylemefs had found the attackers and were getting ready for a surprise attack. They were ducking under the trees so that they were covered by the dark shadows claiming mid afternoon. They were looking for the perfect time to attack instead of rushing into the situation and getting slaughtered
"Van, the enemies are
getting closer to Fanelia," Allen whispered urgently.
"I know, just a little
closer," Van whispered back.
"Closer"
"Closer"
"Now," Van shouted startling
Allen.
"Here we go," Allen mumbled.
In the underground tunnels
below the castle…
Jake, Merle and Hitomi were
running in what Hitomi thought was north but she really didn't have much of a
clue since it seemed like they were going in circles for about the fiftieth
time. It was basically a gigantic maze down there. Merle had opened a wall
behind a tapestry that was a beautiful picture of the heroes of the great war.
Since then, well you know the story.
"Merle do you know where we
are going," Jake asked for the tenth time.
"YES," Merle all but shouted
at him.
Hitomi started laughing at
her brother's complaining about this walking; after all he was on soccer for
six years, he shouldn't be the least bit tired. Not to mention about the
direction Merle was taking them in.
Back with our heroes with
the guymelefs…
Van went straight at two of
enemy's guymelefs and cut them in half. Allen engaged himself in battle with
two more. Van also started fighting two more. Van was being more aggressive
than Allen had ever seen him. Strike, dodge, slash, it was an endless cycle. As
they were fighting they were getting closer to a large river called the
windstorm. It really took after its name too. No one dared to cross out of fear
that it might drown him or her. Some had tried before and paid dearly for it.
It looked like they had
winning the endless battle until…
Back at Hitomi…
Hitomi stopped. 'Here we go
again' she thought as a vision came upon her.
This time she saw Van and
Allen battling the enemies. Van was surrounded by four guymelefs and on the
other side of him was a huge waterfall. Escaflowne looked pretty beat up and
Van had just enough time to jump out of the guymelef as they both fell down to
the rushing waters and jagged rocks below. Then it changed to where Hitomi was
in the clouds and with her her grandmother and Varie.
"Hitomi," Varie said in a
far away voice.
"You can save him Hitomi,"
her grandmother said in that same voice.
"How," she asked eagerly.
"Follow your heart and when
you jump think of being free," Varie said.
Hitomi confused just nodded.
"Save my son and good luck"
With that they turned and
left.
Hitomi woke up deep within a
forest and near running water by the sound of it. Hitomi concentrated on the
pendant. 'Please show me the way to Van' Hitomi thought desperately. It took
only a moment for the pendant to swing sharply Northeast of her. Hitomi opened
her eyes and ran in that direction. She burst the woods only to see Van falling
off the waterfall. She dived off the waterfall thinking of being free of the
horrible situation she was in now…
