Part 1 : Only the Beginning





`They are going to be sooo death ! ´, Dilandau thought , looking down on the landscape

from his standing point , standing on one of the balconys of the Vione .

`My new plan to destroy Van is so perfect that even I can`t believe it . He won`t know what

hit him !´

A develish grin appeared on his face . `I will finally get him back for what he did to my once

marvellous face . ´

His hand slowly slid over the scar , stretching itself on his cheek . `He finally will pay for this ! ´

He slowly turned , now looking into the dark room in front of him .

",Gatti !" , he called , awaiting the direct answer of him . but it didn`t came . He waited a few

moments ,still receiving no answer . Anger arose within him .

"Gatti !" , he called again , his angered voice echoing through the corridors of the Vione.

"Where the hell is this damn good-for-nothing guy ? ",he asked himself , "When I find him

I will ..."

"Commander Dilandau ." ,someone suddenly called from beside him . He turned towards

it , expecting Gatti , kneeling in front of him , begging for forgiveness . But the person he saw

wasn`t Gatti . It was ...

"Dallet ? What are you doing here ? I believe , I didn`t asked you to come here !" ,he

asked , raising his voice as he spoke .

"Commander ... Sorry , but at the moment Gatti is a little ... he is not able to come to you ...",

he stuttered , being afraid of the Commanders reaction . "What ? What do you mean , he

isn`t able to come ? Where the hell is he ? "

`I`ll show him for not obeying my orders .´

"You see , Sir ... Merle meant ..."

"Merle ?!? You mean that Gatti rather takes orders from this damn annoying cat as

from me ? "

"No , but you see . Lord Folken said that we should threat her like we threat him so ..."

"He said what ?!? " `I can`t believe it . This damn little ...´

"Where is Gatti now ? " ,he asked Dallet , slowly getting control over himself again .

"He`s with Merle and the others down in the chambers ."

"The others ? Which others ? "

"Miguel and the others . Also Naria and Eriya ."

"They all are there ? And when do they think to get back to work ? Why are they

there anyway ? "

"Merle thought it would be good for all just to relax a little . She said that we all work

to much and ...Commander ?",he asked , seeing nothing at the place Dilandau standed just

moments ago . He now was left alone in the dark room .

***********************************************************************

Dilandau however was making his way down to the chambers in a fast pace .

`How dare this unuseful swine stealing my Soldiers away from me ! Who does she think she

is ? I knew it since Folken came , bringing this damn cat-girl with him . Saying something about

saving her in the last moment . Why couldn`t he just let her be ? What on Gaea gave him this

absolutly daft idea to bring here here ? Of all places he could have taken her , why here ? ´

Why he practically ran through the corridors .

Flashback :

"Dilandau ! You have to go and find him ! It`s really stormy outside and Folken promised to

be here about 2 hours ago ! ", Naria begged him , almost on her knees .

"Yes , Commander Dilandau . Folken isn`t the sort of man to just promise something and

then not keeping it . Besides think about it . He could be seriously injured , or worse , he

could be death by now , laying helplessly in some lonely alley , dogs nibbling on him ..."

Then they looked at one another , tears welling up in their eyes before both turning back to

face Dilandau , looking at him with big hopeful eyes , simulantly crying :"Please!!!"

"Why should I ?",he asked outraged , "He`s old enough to care for himself ! And besides

why should I even care if he`s death or not ! "

"But Dilandau !"

"And even if I would care I wouldn`t send someone looking out for him cause he`s

already here ! Look behind you !" , he screamed at them , totally annojed by their pleading .

"Dilandau , you should control your temper better . I don`t think that with your attitude you

will ever find a girl loving you . " , a new voice entered the conversation from behind .

"Lord Folken !!! " , Naria and Eriya cried , immediately jumping on him , each hugging one

side of him .

"Girl loving me ? Why would I want that ? Believe me , seeing this two lunatics of you

really is enough for me . " , Dilandau snapped at Folken , secretly wishing that someone would

care the same for him as the two cat-girls do for Folken .

"Of course , Dilandau . I believe you . "

"Lord Folken ? Where were you ? You had us sooo worried about you ! " , Naria said , not

letting go of his right side .

"Yeah , and what have you done ? " ,Eriya asked from the other side .

Suddenly both girls sniffed something in the air . Both raised their heads , bringing their noses

up to smell it better . The smell leading both of them back to Folken , only now being aware of

something that was under Folken`s cloak which was bound tight around his form . Both raised

their head to Folken`s face , both eyeing him suspectically .

"Folken ? What do you have under this ? " ,Eriya asked him , her voice getting seriously .

"Oh yes . I`ve found something , or rather someone on my way here . " , he said , opening

his cloak , giving the others a view of a small beaten-up cat-girl in his arms .

"What ?!? " , three voice simulantly cried .

"I`ve found her somewhere near a forrest . Some , now death , creatures attacked her and

I helped . As I finally had gotten her free she was unconcious and decided that since it was

dark and cold I would bring her here . " ,he explained .

"Oh Folken !",Naria began , heavy impressed by his actions , "You saved the life of this poor

little girl ! If you hadn`t there in time , she probably would be death by now !"

"You are such a true hero , Lord Folken ! " , Eriya meant admiringly , then in the same time

as her sister hugged him again , making sure not to hurt the girl in his arms any further .

All seemed to be pretty okay with all that had happened . All , but one .

"Have you all lost your mind ?!? " , Dilandau yelled at them .

Naria and Eriya let go of Folken , bravely went in front of Folken . Eriya spoke first ,

her voice sounding dangerously "Why Dilandau . Should he have left that poor girl all by

herself ? Should he have left her to die ? "

"That would be much better than this . Do you have any idea who the hell that is that he has

brought here ? "

"Yeah . A little helpless girl . Nothing more , nothing less . " said Naria , her voice sounding

the same as Eriya`s .

"That would be much better !I know this little cat . That`s Van`s little bitch ! "

"She has a name , you know Dilandau ? " ,Folken meant . His voice seriously deep ,"Her

name is Merle and ... "

"And she`s Van`s little bitch ! " , Dilandau yelled , finishing his sentence , "We should just

kill her now and send her back to Van , in many little pieces ! " , he yelled , leaving Naria and

Eriya looking at him with big shocked eyes . Naria recovered first and said back :"How can

you be so cold ! How can you even think about killing her ? She`s just a little kid ! "

"Why ? Do you have any other ideas ? That`s the best we can do ! " , Dilandau said .

"And now we see again why Dornkirk gave the cammando to Folken instead of you .

Because every damn thought of you is totally crap ! " , Eriya shot back .

This endraged him only more :" Why you little ..."!, he said , slowly making his way

towards both of them , only to be stopped by Folken`s voice : " You will not do such a thing ,

you understand ? Merle is a dear friend of mine and the whole time in which she`s here she

stands under my cover . Got it ! The same goes for Naria and Eriya ! "

"Are you threatening me , Folken ? ", Dilandau asked him , his hand finding his sword ,ready

to fight him if the situation would require it .

"Why Dilandau . ", Folken spoke slowly , "Just let me make one thing clear . If I ever see

you threating one of them I`ll make you pay . And believe me , after I`m done with you

you would wish that you`d never ever found out what fire is ! " he yelled at him , leaving him

speechless . Then Folken turned around out of the room , Naria and Eriya following him suit ,

sending death glares Dilandau`s way .

End of Flashback

From this day on his life had been a living hell . Somehow Merle had come to the idea that

she also would have the same right as Folken which also meant the same commando as his .

`How should my plans ever be done if this damn cat-girl would take all away that I need ?

And always it is my fault if anything doesn`t go as planned . I am so gonna kill her .´

At this time he finally came to a stop in front of her room . From the inside he could hear them

laughing and making fun .

`How dare they enjoy themselves without me !´

Packed by new rage he slammed the door open , voices immediately became silent , all

watching him . Gatti and the other Slayers with terrified looks in their eyes .



So , what do you think about it ? Tell me !

And for all , I don`t hate Merle ! And she won`t die in the next few chapters , okay ?

Till then ,

Nicki Calista !
