' Thoughts '

" Talking "

** POV change **

This story is in the Point of view of Van and Hitomi, this is a V/H but not at first it's an A/H (which I think is a horrible idea) but it works for this story.

Chapter Two

**Van**

"She lost alot of blood I don't know what we can do"

"We have to try Millerna we have to"

"Van I don't know what to do, she was stabbed numerous times lost alot of blood but I'll try"

"Thank you Millerna"

"Do you have any idea yet who did this?"

"No not yet but when I get the I'll I'll , I don't know what I do yet but I'll do something",

'I couldn't protect her what was I thinking leaving her alone like that how can I call myself her friend I promised that I'll protect her return her to her family on the mystic moon and now because of me she could die'

"Your an idiot Fanel a complete moron" I said to myself as I walk through on of the many hallway,

'Stupid Stupid Stupid leaving the one person you love more then anything by herself it's all you fault'

"LORD VAN"

'God why now'

"Hello Merle how are you?"

'Go away Merle I want to be alone'

"How is she is she OK"

"No she's not Merle"

"Merle"

"Yes Lord Van"

"Can you stop hugging me, I can't breath"

"Sorry Lord Van are you Ok you look upset?"

"I'm fine Merle just worried about Hitomi"

"She be fine she strong, she pull through"

'Yeah maybe'.

Slowly I turned down the hallway to Hitomi's room to see if Millerna had finished, thinking of what horrible events had happened hours ago.

----Flashback----

"Van" was the last thing she whispered as she fainted

'Oh god'

I picked her up, I could feel her blood soaking into my clothes as I tried to get her to the castle.

"HELP HELP SOMEONE HELP ME" I screamed

"VAN"

"LORD VAN"

"HELP"

I saw Merle arrive with Allen and Dryden, I couldn't take it anymore, and I just fell to the ground still holding Hitomi in my arms. Allen quickly picked her up and helped the healers carry her, everything was happening so fast.

I could move I just sat there looking at my blood stained clothes as guards and healers ran passed me

'Her Blood, Hitomi 's blood oh god I'm going to be sick'

Dryden must have noticed how pale I looked,

"Van are you ok?"

"I'm going to be sick"

"Come on"

Slowly I got on to my feet, Dryden lead me to the room I was standing in.

'Her blood who could do this to her'

"Van get change, get something to eat and then come down stairs".

I could feel my legs giving away again, I fall to the floor not ever the cold hard marble floor could move me I was numb, I didn't know how to feel 'I failed her' I couldn't stop them anymore the tears I was holding back just fell, after 5 years of no crying they finally made they way to the surface.

"I failed her," I said between sobs,

I removed my shirt now a deeper re then before, I could take it so I toss it in to the fire

'Why is the sight of her blood so sickening? I've seen blood before'

'But this is different Fanel you love this person, to see her like this hurts you'

My mind and heart were right I loved her too much to see her like this but now it could be to late to tell her how I feel

-------End Flashback-------

'Oh god I feel sick again'

"Van, Van"

I turned to see Millerna looking at m e

"Sorry Millerna what's wrong? Is she ok"

"I finished operating and I've stopped the bleeding, but she was badly hurt she might make it but"

"But what"

"Van the damage could be to much for her, she might not make it thought the night"

"Millerna is there any possibility of seeing her"

"Yes Van put only for a few minutes, follow me".

She turn towards the healer quarters slowly I followed her. The once bright cheerful castle now had a eerie death feeling to it, I noticed this when I was walking down it's many hallways trying to sort out my thoughts, thinking who would do this to her? Zaibach? But all I could see was Hitomi hurt in my arms,

'Oh god Hitomi please don't die I need you in my life'.
