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.
I'm having problem remember chapter numbers so don't worry and don't worry about my spelling as it will never get any better.
True Destiny
Chapter Thirteen
**Hitomi**
I felt like I was floating on air as I walked back to my room, nothing could have bought me down
`I'm finally happy, happier then I could have ever been with Allen or Amano'
I started humming I don't want to miss a thing by Aerosmith, I was so wrapped up in my thoughts about Van and our future I never noticed Merle stalking me
"Hitomi what you doing?"
"Fu.... god sake Merle I'm having a heart attack at this moment"
"So you have a heart, but then a gain you must do to fall for Van"
"Not any more my heart stopped about 8 steps ago"
"You two looked so cute"
"Did Van tell you what he was going to do to you for spying on us you evil cat"
"None, but him and Folken are talking about you and your little powers"
"Great"
"Hitomi can you promise me something"
"Of course"
`de ja vu'
"Promise me you'll never hurt him"
"I promise on my own life I would never do anything to hurt him again" I hugged the worried Merle,
"Are you going to see him off tomorrow morning?"
"I might do why"
"Good let's go to your room and find a pretty dress for you to wear" Merle quickly grabbed my hand and dragged me to my room. Then is when I saw two guards standing there
"Hi what are you doing?"
"Lady Hitomi and Lady Merle we were told by your future husband to protect you while he is gone?"
`Future husband but Van never, oh god Allen he still thinks we engaged'
"Well tell him I don't need 24 hour protection ok"
"We understand milady but we have to follow orders" I pushed pass the guard as did Merle entering my room
"Why didn't you tell me you and Lord Van are getting married," she said while jumping up and down on my bed"
"Merle stop that and me and Van aren't getting marries, the guards meant Allen who still thinks we are together" merle by this time had stop jumping. I sank to the floor placing my head on the bed
"If Allen tells Van that your marriage is still on it"
"Will break his heart and after everything we went through today he'll think I lied to him about how I felt" I look at a worry Merle who gently stoked my hair
`Why is she stoking me she must thinks I'm a cat, now that's weird'
I feel tears rise and prick the back of my eye
"Van will hate me if he finds out and Allen will tell him, Merle can I be alone?"
"Yeah I'm going to help you live up to your promise to me and try and keep Allen away form Van until 12 but you must talk to both of them and clear this up" Merle walked out of the room, I felt a warmth grow form under my bed
`What the hell'
I moved the covers to find my book of shadows symbols white with heat. I cautiously picked it up and put it on the bed with out burning my fingers off, as I moved my hands the book flew open to the page where I had placed one of Van feathers which I had collected for the windmill early today as a memory of our first kind of kiss. I moved the feather so I could read the spell title underneath it
+++A spell to join two souls+++
`Thank you Council for the sign'
I knew in my heart that Van was my soul mate I just need a sign. That was it I had promised myself and merle that I would never hurt Van again so I pushed passed the guards again
"If you two follow me I will kill you" I said in a dangerously low tone, both guards go the idea and stayed by the door, I set off to find and explain to Allen that we were over and I had moved on to some else, and if he tries to hurt me I will hopefully be able to call upon my powers, then I have to find Van and talk to him about what happened and how stupid Allen was. I walked to Allen's door and knock half hoping he wasn't there half hoping he was
"It's open" I opened the door to his room and walked in
"So I heard you didn't like the guards"
"No I didn't Allen" he walked over to me and hugged me
"Allen don't we have to talk" I got out of Allen's arms as fast as I could and went and sat by the fire. Allen followed and sat next to me
"Allen about the wedding"
"Oh yes I've arranged it to be after the war then I return"
"Allen I didn't mean that I meant"
"Oh yeah I forgot I asked Van to be my best man" that was it I knew Van was hurting and it was my fault,
`Maybe it was before you broke up?'
"When did you ask him"
"About 5 minutes ago when I saw him walking to his room" I felt the world fall around me
`He's going to think I used him'
"Hitomi" I slowly faced Allen
`Oh god what have I done'
"Hitomi are you ok"
"No I'm not, this marriage is over, it has been since I threw you in to that wall" I got up and walked towards the door but before I got to the handle, Allen grabbed me for behind
"When do you think your going?" he whisper in my ear as he held me against his chest
"Allen it's over I'm going to see my soul mate, now let go before I throw you in to a wall again I tried to summon my power but nothing Allen spun me around so I was facing him
"Van in his room and he can protect you when his so tried he can hardly stay awake,"
"You were spying on us as well"
"So I was" Allen started kissing my neck as he walked backwards
`Hitomi stop him anyway your can'
I tried calling on my powers again but still nothing
"Allen please even if we aren't in a relationship we can still be friends" Allen stopped kissing me to look at me
"Hitomi, I love you and I'm going to make you make and if I hear one scream out of you I will kill Merle, Folken and your little soul mate Van as you put it now shut up" he pushed me to the bed and climb to top of me I tried only again to call my power but still nothing
"Van will never have you" I couldn't move my hands and my powers wouldn't work not my memory sharing or my telekinesis, I tried to emotional call out to Van but I could feel that he was a sleep
"Allen please don't do this"
"Didn't I tell you to shut up"
He said between kisses erasing the kisses Van had given me on my forehead and nose and lip. I felt Allen's hands both go up the back of my top
`SOME PLEASE HELP'
Suddenly I felt a gate open within me both my hands started to feel warm as my hands were crush against Allen's chest I couldn't move them
`What's happening? I need help'
As if someone answered my pray, Allen got up to remove his shirt, I quickly moved my hands to face him and hoped my powers would stop him. A lilac light formed in my palms and shot in to Allen's chest hitting him dead centre in the chest, freezing him, Taking that as my chance to escape Allen I got off the bed and race out of the room, hot tears ran down my face a person I care for try to rape me and I didn't know what to do. I ran in to my room noticing the guards had gone, I closed the door and locked it hope he would come after me
`Please who ever answered my pray don't let him in this room'
I turn and slid down the door to the floor bought my knee up to my chest and sobbed in to my knees. I heard footsteps coming towards my door then a gently knock, warmth filled me along with worry. I moved so I could still open the door without moving off the door and the position I was in. Van opened the door the moment I unlocked it then relocked it and slid down next to me and wrapped his arms around my crying form.
"Van I tried to call you"
"I heard you within my sleep I'm sorry I couldn't get to you quicker" I felt tears rise within me as could he, I just sat there on the floor by my bedroom door sobbing in to Van's arms, as he gave me silent reassures. I didn't know how long we had been sitting there but it must have been late as Van's breathing really slowed down, I looked up at him to find him fast asleep against the door and me. Lack of sleep had finally caught up with him.
I felt dirty and wanted a bath but couldn't leave Van like this. I raised my hand and tried to call my book of shadows to me, nothing I tried again and it worked the book dropped off the bed and moved across the floor like been pulled on an invisible string tome, when it reached my hand the book flipped open to a teleport spell. My first thought was to move him to his own room but then I remembered the way I felt safe when I woke up in his arms after I was stabbed. I used the spell to teleport him to my bed and pulled the blanket over him on my bed luckily he wasn't wearing his boots. As I stepped out the bath I still felt him on my body, I changed in the night clothes Millennia had given me, as I walked out the bathroom I looked across the room at Van who was still fast a sleep now taking both sides of the bed up.
`Men'
I made my way over to the bed and laid next to him, I his sleep he wrapped his arms around me pulling my to his chest
"I love you" he mumbled I laid my head on his chest he tied his arms around my slightly. I lifted my head and gently kissed his nose and watched it wrinkle up
`How cute'
I slowly laid my head back down and fell asleep listening to the sounds of his heart.
I woke up alone that morning, running my hand over the space where he was once sleeping to see if I could find any heat left by him, no heat but a letter
+++ To my sleeping Angel,
I'm sorry I fell a sleep on you last night and that I will be half way to Zaibach by the time you read this. I'm going to relock the door and give the key to Folken, who will open it about nine. Believe me it's better then Merle. I left under your pillow is a dragger I want you to keep it on you at all times just for protects, but as you can throw things in to walls I don't think you will, Folken his all his wisdom told me the all shorten version of what happened between you and Allen ands I didn't believe him when he ask me to be his best man that you two were back together. I love you and promise to return, stay safe and watch out for Zaibach soldiers. Lots of love Van+++
I looked at my watch to see it was 8:40
"Better get dress before Folken arrives" I changed into the dress Millennia had given me the white and pink one. Just as I had finish pulling my trainers on I heard a knock at the door
"Come in Folken" the lock clicked as he undid it and walked in
"How did you know it was me?"
"Van left a letter saying you would be by to return my key and unlock the door"
"He did, did he, oh here's your key" he handed me back the key to my door and left
`I'll never work him out'.
I left my room about 2 hours later in that time I had learnt away of controlling my ability to freeze things. As all I had to do was think about ice and a light would form and my book said all I had to do was fire it at the person I wanted to freeze. I walked out in to the garden as my room was now incredible boring, I walked to the spot me and Van were sitting at last night. On the floor was still the book on Fanelia luckily it had rained during the night as it would have been ruined. I took my sit and carried on reading the book, a shadow covered me as I read
"Merle I'm reading go away"
"I'm not Merle" I pulled my eyes away from the page I was reading to meet Celena's eyes
"Oh hello Celena I thought you were Merle will you join me" she didn't ever answer she just sat down
"Your Hitomi right"
"Yes" she looked over at the book I was reading
"What you reading"
"The history of Fanelia"
"Oh that backwards country I heard it was burnt down by the dragons that protect it" I felt a chill run down my back I remembered Dilandau saying that the first time we meet him
"So you're the women who has won the white drag.. Van's heart and Allen's"
"I wouldn't say that" She start looking at the balconies
"Which one is yours Hitomi?"
"That one, Celena I know it's not of my business but where have you been all this time"
"Somewhere you'll see in your near future"
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know very soon" with that she got up and left I sat there wondering what she have meant by that I could stop think that it had something to do with Van's visions. I picked my self up off the floor and headed back to my room.
When I opened the door I felt someone aura in my room I looked carefully around the door to see Merle ran past
"Hello Merle what are you doing in here"
"Sshh there is a mouse in here", I quickly jumped up on to my bed out of the reach of the mouse I watched as Merle stake pout the hole in my wall. I had finished my book on Fanelia so decide to read my book of shadows, as I read each word I could feel them been imprinted on my mind as I could remember word I had read and every spell.
"Have you given up?" I asked merle as she walked away from the hole
"Yes and the fact I'm hungry so lets go in to town and buy things"
"Ok" I throw the book under my pillow and saw the knife Van had left for me to use if I had to
`If I had to I don't need it'
I hoped I would never had to use it but I did have my powers to protect me, so I placed the pillow back on top of them and left with Merle to find Millennia to also come shopping with us.
We spend a good afternoon shopping, more for me then anyone else, but most of the day I kept thinking of Van and how he was doing. I ended up have 3 green dresses as green is my colour both Millennia and Merle said and a pair of knee high boots to wear with my uniform, some where a long the line Merle had ran off and bought me an dress to wear for Van so I was scary to think of what it looked like. I piled all the boxes on to my bed and fell next to them on my back
"I wonder if he is thinking of me," I ask to no one
"Of course he is" an eerie voice filled my room
"Who there?"
"I came to finish what we started a few days ago but would of thought that you would heal so quick" Dilandau walked out of the corner he was waiting in
"How did you get in here?"
"I'll show you" as he said that Celena walked out of my bathroom
"Well hello again Hitomi" I tried to call a upon my freezing powers but nothing happened
"I know who you are Hitomi and I used one of my own spells to cancel your powers out" before I knew it Dilandau's arms wrapped around me from behind
"I think it's time we head for home done you Celena?"
"Yes Lord Dilandau" just as I was about to scream he covered my mouth with a cloth, and then I felt sleep being forced a upon me, I could still hear and felt what was happening but I was a sleep.
"What are you looking for Celena" I felt her under my bed
"I'm sorry for holding you up lord Dilandau but if we don't find her Book of shadows we can kill her" I cast a spell in my sleep that turns my book invisible so she would find it, I could also felt Dilandau's fingers running up and down my stomach, I pray that my book wouldn't be found
"I can't find it she might not have it yet" Celena hit the bed and stomped off to the window
`Oh yes I'm good"
Dilandau throw me over his shoulder and headed after her, they must of have some gymelifs waiting for them as I hear the sound of liquid metal being shot at the and the feeling of flying so I worked out that the gymelifs use the liquid metal to pick them off my balcony and that most likely how they got up there in the first place, once we were in to the woods the drug started to wear off. We make our way somewhere on horse I was sitting in front of Dilandau with my legs and hands tied, I cried out to Van with all the emotion I could sum like when Allen tried to hurt me, but I couldn't contact him and the connection was very weak and stretched.
"Lord Dilandau, where are we headed" we had left the gymelifs a while back as they had the head for the Zaibach border ready for the attacks in a couple of days
"We are headed to the borders of Palas where an airship is waiting to take us to lord Donkirk" he snarled at her
"And when we get there me and you will finish what we started" I hated the way his breath ran across my neck as he spoke to me
"I never let you have me I'll die first"
"We'll see"
`Van where are you?'
I remembered the teleport spell I had used the other night
"Move me here move me there move me to the castle there"
"Stupid girl Celena blocked your powers with her own little spell, so you're normal until she removes it " all my hope slowly faded
`Why didn't I take that knife and I must not give up on Van finding me'
When we reached a clearing I could see an airship two men dressed in dragon slayer uniforms came out
"Good evening Lord Dilandau the ship is ready to leave"
"Good now take our horse and release them" Dilandau dismounted his horse and pulled me down with him making me hit the floor, I was pulled back to my feet by my hair of course trying to get up wasn't hard enough with my feet tried together. Celena in her all high and mightiness cut the rope and then dragged me to the ship
"You can't fly out of here or use your powers so behave or else I'll clip you," she said as she dragged me in to the airship.
I was chain to the floor in one of the rooms it was dark and smelt funny the place had do window and I guess it was lit with artificially lightly, I tried calling Van over and over again but he was too far or Celena spell had blocked the connection as well.
I didn't know how long I had been locked up in this room or what time it was but I was starting to get hungry meaning it was close to tea.
`Which moron would turn the lights on? Very stupid question'
I could see the lights had just come on suddenly before my eyes even adjusted I know who it was.
"I decide you're join to join me for dinner"
"Do I have a choice in the matter Dilly"
"Not call me that" his hand came down across my face,
"Now your join me for dinner so behave little girl" he unchained my hands, I could feel all the blood rush back in to them and my wrist start to hurt form the weigh of the shackles. I followed him to the dinning room, the airship reminded me of the Crusade but this version was more gothic and weird feeling to it. The dinning room was the same but lit with over a hundred odd candles,
`Please god don't let his try and be romantic as I will be sick'
I was forced to sit opposite him but it would have been better if I was in another room but that wasn't going to happen any time soon. I didn't eat very much as dragon meat really isn't something I would like to try
"Can I please go now your hurt me an enough" I whole time I had to sit there he spoke of what Van did to his Dragon slayers and what he was going to do to Van and fire.
"If you answer me one little question first? And stop being sarcastic"
"Fine" he got up and moved over to me holding a dinner knife in his hands twirling it in his fingers, he pushed my chair back about 5 inches so he was between me and the table this was so I couldn't move, slowly he lowed his head to my level the fear of he kissing my rose
"I want to know how it feels to know that you're going to help kill Van" I felt fear run down my back again
"I think it's time for you to go," he said just before running the knife down my cheek cut a thin cut like his,
"I marked you as mine now" with that the two men I saw early entered the room and escorted me to the room I was helped in chaining me back to the floor I decide I would try and get some sleep so laid down and called out for the last time today for Van before all my energy left and I fell to sleep.

"No I didn't Allen" he walked over to me and hugged me
"Allen don't we have to talk" I got out of Allen's arms as fast as I could and went and sat by the fire. Allen followed and sat next to me
"Allen about the wedding"
"Oh yes I've arranged it to be after the war then I return"
"Allen I didn't mean that I meant"
"Oh yeah I forgot I asked Van to be my best man" that was it I knew Van was hurting and it was my fault,
`Maybe it was before you broke up?'
"When did you ask him"
"About 5 minutes ago when I saw him walking to his room" I felt the world fall around me
`He's going to think I used him'
"Hitomi" I slowly faced Allen
`Oh god what have I done'
"Hitomi are you ok"
"No I'm not, this marriage is over, it has been since I threw you in to that wall" I got up and walked towards the door but before I got to the handle, Allen grabbed me for behind
"When do you think your going?" he whisper in my ear as he held me against his chest

"Better get dress before Folken arrives" I changed into the dress Millennia had given me the white and pink one. Just as I had finish pulling my trainers on I heard a knock at the door
"Come in Folken" the lock clicked as he undid it and walked in
"How did you know it was me?"

"Your Hitomi right"
"Yes" she looked over at the book I was reading
"What you reading"
"The history of Fanelia"
"Oh that backwards country I heard it was burnt down by the dragons that protect it" I felt a chill run down my back I remembered Dilandau saying that the first time we meet him
"So you're the women who has won the white drag.. Van's heart and Allen's"
"I wouldn't say that" She start looking at the balconies
"Which one is yours Hitomi?"
"That one, Celena I know it's not of my business but where have you been all this time"
"Somewhere you'll see in your near future"
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know very soon" with that she got up and left I sat there wondering what she have meant by that I could stop think that it had something to do with Van's visions. I picked my self up off the floor and headed back to my room.
When I opened the door I felt someone aura in my room I looked carefully around the door to see Merle ran past
"Hello Merle what are you doing in here"
"Sshh there is a mouse in here", I quickly jumped up on to my bed out of the reach of the mouse I watched as Merle stake pout the hole in my wall. I had finished my book on Fanelia so decide to read my book of shadows, as I read each word I could feel them been imprinted on my mind as I could remember word I had read and every spell.
"Have you given up?" I asked merle as she walked away from the hole
"Yes and the fact I'm hungry so lets go in to town and buy things"
"Ok" I throw the book under my pillow and saw the knife Van had left for me to use if I had to
`If I had to I don't need it'
I hoped I would never had to use it but I did have my powers to protect me, so I placed the pillow back on top of them and left with Merle to find Millennia to also come shopping with us.
We spend a good afternoon shopping, more for me then anyone else, but most of the day I kept thinking of Van and how he was doing. I ended up have 3 green dresses as green is my colour both Millennia and Merle said and a pair of knee high boots to wear with my uniform, some where a long the line Merle had ran off and bought me an dress to wear for Van so I was scary to think of what it looked like. I piled all the boxes on to my bed and fell next to them on my back
"I wonder if he is thinking of me," I ask to no one
"Of course he is" an eerie voice filled my room
"Who there?"
"I came to finish what we started a few days ago but would of thought that you would heal so quick" Dilandau walked out of the corner he was waiting in
"How did you get in here?"
"I'll show you" as he said that Celena walked out of my bathroom
"Well hello again Hitomi" I tried to call a upon my freezing powers but nothing happened
"I know who you are Hitomi and I used one of my own spells to cancel your powers out" before I knew it Dilandau's arms wrapped around me from behind
"I think it's time we head for home done you Celena?"
"Yes Lord Dilandau" just as I was about to scream he covered my mouth with a cloth, and then I felt sleep being forced a upon me, I could still hear and felt what was happening but I was a sleep.
"What are you looking for Celena" I felt her under my bed
"I'm sorry for holding you up lord Dilandau but if we don't find her Book of shadows we can kill her" I cast a spell in my sleep that turns my book invisible so she would find it, I could also felt Dilandau's fingers running up and down my stomach, I pray that my book wouldn't be found
"I can't find it she might not have it yet" Celena hit the bed and stomped off to the window
`Oh yes I'm good"
Dilandau throw me over his shoulder and headed after her, they must of have some gymelifs waiting for them as I hear the sound of liquid metal being shot at the and the feeling of flying so I worked out that the gymelifs use the liquid metal to pick them off my balcony and that most likely how they got up there in the first place, once we were in to the woods the drug started to wear off. We make our way somewhere on horse I was sitting in front of Dilandau with my legs and hands tied, I cried out to Van with all the emotion I could sum like when Allen tried to hurt me, but I couldn't contact him and the connection was very weak and stretched.
"Lord Dilandau, where are we headed" we had left the gymelifs a while back as they had the head for the Zaibach border ready for the attacks in a couple of days
"We are headed to the borders of Palas where an airship is waiting to take us to lord Donkirk" he snarled at her
"And when we get there me and you will finish what we started" I hated the way his breath ran across my neck as he spoke to me
"I never let you have me I'll die first"
"We'll see"
`Van where are you?'
I remembered the teleport spell I had used the other night
"Move me here move me there move me to the castle there"
"Stupid girl Celena blocked your powers with her own little spell, so you're normal until she removes it " all my hope slowly faded
`Why didn't I take that knife and I must not give up on Van finding me'
When we reached a clearing I could see an airship two men dressed in dragon slayer uniforms came out
"Good evening Lord Dilandau the ship is ready to leave"
"Good now take our horse and release them" Dilandau dismounted his horse and pulled me down with him making me hit the floor, I was pulled back to my feet by my hair of course trying to get up wasn't hard enough with my feet tried together. Celena in her all high and mightiness cut the rope and then dragged me to the ship
"You can't fly out of here or use your powers so behave or else I'll clip you," she said as she dragged me in to the airship.
I was chain to the floor in one of the rooms it was dark and smelt funny the place had do window and I guess it was lit with artificially lightly, I tried calling Van over and over again but he was too far or Celena spell had blocked the connection as well.
I didn't know how long I had been locked up in this room or what time it was but I was starting to get hungry meaning it was close to tea.
`Which moron would turn the lights on? Very stupid question'
I could see the lights had just come on suddenly before my eyes even adjusted I know who it was.
"I decide you're join to join me for dinner"
"Do I have a choice in the matter Dilly"
"Not call me that" his hand came down across my face,
"Now your join me for dinner so behave little girl" he unchained my hands, I could feel all the blood rush back in to them and my wrist start to hurt form the weigh of the shackles. I followed him to the dinning room, the airship reminded me of the Crusade but this version was more gothic and weird feeling to it. The dinning room was the same but lit with over a hundred odd candles,
`Please god don't let his try and be romantic as I will be sick'
I was forced to sit opposite him but it would have been better if I was in another room but that wasn't going to happen any time soon. I didn't eat very much as dragon meat really isn't something I would like to try
"Can I please go now your hurt me an enough" I whole time I had to sit there he spoke of what Van did to his Dragon slayers and what he was going to do to Van and fire.
"If you answer me one little question first? And stop being sarcastic"
"Fine" he got up and moved over to me holding a dinner knife in his hands twirling it in his fingers, he pushed my chair back about 5 inches so he was between me and the table this was so I couldn't move, slowly he lowed his head to my level the fear of he kissing my rose
"I want to know how it feels to know that you're going to help kill Van" I felt fear run down my back again
"I think it's time for you to go," he said just before running the knife down my cheek cut a thin cut like his,
"I marked you as mine now" with that the two men I saw early entered the room and escorted me to the room I was helped in chaining me back to the floor I decide I would try and get some sleep so laid down and called out for the last time today for Van before all my energy left and I fell to sleep.
