In a Valley of Souls
********************************************************
********************************************************
Darkness surrounded Hitomi as she walked in what seemed
to be a valley. There were whispers, telling Hitomi to
flee, run away as quick as possible.
" Ah there you are Hitomi " a voice rasped out of the
darkness.
The voice was familiar now, the voice belonged to Mr.
Ebony, an unleashed horror from her childhood. Most
children had imaginary friends, she had had Mr.Ebony
and by no means was he imaginary or a friend.
" I know it's you. What do you want from me? "
Hitomi answered as loud as she could.
" You don't know do you Hitomi? That I was the one
who summoned you, not by your foolish love for Van.
And, because of that I could send you back just as
easily, maybe that would teach you a lesson for banishing
your own master! You belong to me Hitomi, you know that.
I don't like to see you get hurt but...if you cross
the lines, you must be punished. " He grinned evilly.
" I do NOT belong to you!" she spat at him.
" Oh I love it when you get angry Hitomi " he smiled
whilst reaching out to touch her face.
She flinched away.
" But...you do belong to me. When I saved your life
and gave you some of my own life, you already owed me.
It hasn't changed Hitomi, it never did. You got away once
but you won't ever again. "
" You can't get me now! I already took care of that!
My body is protected from scum like you!"
" Your body is none of my concern Hitomi. I have your soul.
And that is sufficent enough. "
she gasped, what was she to do now?
" Suprised Hitomi? I bet you are. You thought you had won
hadn't you? but you haven't. So what to do with you now?
Should I kill you or...make you my bride?"
Ribbons suddenly tied Hitomi everywhere.
She tried to protest but her mouth was gagged.
Mr. Ebony drew closer.
" Yes my sweet, I've had an eye on you for sometime.
Maybe now you'll do as I command. "
He passed his scaly fingers across her face and she fainted.

" Sir Van? May I come in?"
" Oh of course Mr. Pennsworth. I'm sorry, I was just.." he left
it hanging.
" Arr I see, Miss 'itomi still unwell then? " Pennsworth asked.
" Yes " he blinked back a few tears that were starting to shed.
" Oh I see. I'm very sorry Sir Van, but I must tell yer a few
tings that 'ave been er boterin' me. "
" Yes of course Pennsworth. "
" Well, Yesterdey I wuz looking in the Library, not that I
perticulary like them books but, when you told me to get them
witches.."
" Sages " Van corrected.
" Sages then, whatever I 'appened to cum across a book you
might want to 'ave a look at. "he finished. Then he got a large
black book out of his moth-eaten bag and handed it to Van.
" The Uknown horrors of the Valley of Souls? What is this
Pennsworth? " Van asked puzzled.
" Ah, Sir Van, dont'cha know. Tat's what I thought me'self
ya know. But the book fell down and landed out on THIS page."
He opened the dusty old book out and showed him a double page
with the printed words ' Master Ebony, the demon of darkness.
Also known as 'child's first horror' and 'the Lord of the
Valley of Souls'.'.
" You mean, this is Hitomi's..."
Everything started to make sense after he read those pages.
Master Ebony would choose a child, normaly a girl and then
do them a great favour and use them to go to different worlds.
An innocent child would be his key to every world in excistence.
If the child disobeyed him in any way or he was finished with them,
they would be taken to his home, the Valley of Souls,
where he would either get rid of them or...be-wed them to join their
powers forever.
At the bottom of the second page was an incantation. To enter the
valley. But...anyone who wanted to go there can only go once and
must be quick because all they'd have were fifty-nine minutes.
Mr. Pennsworth knew what Van was going to do and panicked.
" W..Wait Sir Van. Yer must be prepared. Dont'cha know? Otherwise
summat 'orrible might happen. "
" I already know what to do Pennsworth. I must get there, find Hitomi
before the Wedding and try and break his spell by reminding her
of life back in either Gaia or Earth. "
" But...But..Sir Van! "
It was too late, Van was already chanting the incantation and in
a few moments, he was gone.

Darkness was beside Van as he journeyed through the Valley. There
were moans of anguish surrounding him and then he saw, this was
more than just A Valley of Souls......

So what do you think? Tune in again to see what happens! Please R&R
as many fics of mine as you can! And others too! It really makes
people happy!
