Lost Loves
Chapter 4
Hitomi stared down at the assignment that needed to be finished in an hours time. "Oh god! Why didn't I start this earlier." Ever since the car crash that took her Mother's life she had lost her enthusiasm for school. She began to write anything that looked about right. "I really liked this film because......... Oh I don't believe it!" As the ink ran out of her pen she decided that the assignment would just have to be late. When she took media studies she thought it would be the easiest top grade she ever got. Oh how she was wrong! She headed to her bag, that sat on the top of her wardrobe. Surely she could find a pen in there that worked. As she reached for the bag she caught a pile of papers and knocked her tarot cards to the floor. "Oh!! I am never gonna get this finished!!" As she knelt down to pick up the tarot cards she noticed all were faced down except one. She picked it up and stared at it for a while before a small tear slid down her pale cheek. "Van....."
Tamzin had not spoken to Van in three days. She had been at her brother's side ever since they arrived back from the market square. She had refused to see Van but had sent word with Merle that when she was ready and her Brother was fully healed she would explain all. He sat in his library staring at the ring in his hand. He had picked it up as they left the alleyway. It was so familiar and only now did he recognise what it was. It shared the same jewel as Hitomi's pendant. The same jewel as on Escaflowne. So did that mean that she knew of Gaea before she came? Did she know of Atlantis? Is that where she got that.......power? He needed to talk to her but all he could do now was wait.
As she checked her brothers' wound for the umpteenth time that hour she realised it was fully healed with a small scar where the new skin had formed. "You know you get yourself in so much trouble over this. Why can't you just let me get on with my life?" She asked as she looked up at her brother, Talin. "Because you're my sister and because there all we...... I have left and I don't want to lose the only security I have with them. As long as I obey them they'll leave me alone. "He stared at his hand that Tamzin held tightly. He didn't seem to notice the small tears that fell down her cheeks. "Talin, they're not our family. You may call them that, but they're not!" She let go of his hand and walked towards the window. She watched the light breeze blow the small trees back and forth gently. Her gaze wandered to the scar that had formed on her own hand. She clenched her fist tightly. "I'm not going back Talin. You have to make the choice for yourself but I am staying here. Gaea is my home not the Mystic Moon." She said this very sternly, stressing her point. He got out of bed and walked over to her. He finally got it. His arms slipped around her and hugged her. "I'm sorry Tamzin. I understand. I'll go back to Earth on my own tomorrow." Tamzin turned around in his arms and cried into his shoulder. She was so happy, but sad at the same time. She was getting to stay in her home world but she was losing her brother. 'Would life always be so cruel' she thought. Now all she had to do was make her peace with Van. Not an easy task on a good day never mind when she had ignored and lied to him. This was going to be fun........
Dilandau paced around the meeting room. He was so bored. He just wanted his guymelef back so that he could go trash a village or something. But no, he had to be in this stupid meeting. Zaibach had been in the process of rebuilding its empire so taking charge had been an easy job. Folken was to lead the planning and commanding side of the country and Dilandau would take charge of the army. He just had to wait until all of the guymelefs and soldiers were prepared. Then he would lead his army into the biggest war Gaea had ever seen.

What do you think? Confusing? I think it is! It should start to become more focused in the next few chapters and won't jump around as much. Next chapter should be Dilandau/Folken based! Please RnR!!
