Wow! Thank you ALL for all the reviews! I am so happy everyone likes how I have written Dilandau! Thank you again! And now, chapter seven!
Lina awoke to see the ceiling. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock. 3:00 AM.
A dream. It was all a dream.
Lina started shaking. She must of fallen asleep with her uniform still on. She had been dreaming. A dream where she was on some planet.Gaea.
It was a dream.
And when those words went through her brain again, she had the most sad feeling wash over her. A mental picture of Dilandau came into her mind.
"Dilandau."
That was when she was aware of the tears rushing down her face.
"Dilandau." she whispered once more.
Lina lay back down in bed and thought about her dream. She hated dreams. Always have. They took you to places you longed to go, but when you woke up you were back here.alone.again. Lina couldn't sleep, not after such a dream so she got up to get a drink of water. Out of her hands fell the bracelet. Lina leaned down and picked it up. Someone had added an extra charm. She looked at it closely to see it was a flame.
What?!
Lina brought it close to her face. It was still warm. Like someone had worn it. Lina twisted the metal around in her hands but it brought no clues.
If it was all a dream.then I shouldn't have the glove? Should I?
Wishing it wasn't a dream, she looked in her pocket. She picked it up and slumped into bed, slipping on the bracelet and bringing the glove close to her.
Dilandau.
Instead of smelling like blood, it smelled like Dilandau. His scent washed over and she leaned down in the pillow. It wasn't a dream after all. She had been warped back to Earth. Lina started sobbing, crying, partly because she didn't know if she would return.
Partly because she wondered if she would see Dilandau again.
"Please Gods, I've never asked for your help again..but if you can give me one thing.please.PLEASE bring back Lina. Please." Dilandau finished.
He looked at his hand, without the bracelet and his missing glove. He smiled to himself.
"You leave with everything Lina.You always have."
Dilandau looked back at the Mystic Moon and began to pray again.
"Pray for me. Promise me Dilandau!"
"Bring back Lina.bring her back to Gaea."
There was a sharp knock on his door, "Who is it?" he muttered.
"Folken."
Dilandau stood up and opened the door and Folken rushed in, "Lina."
"She was warped back to Earth." Dilandau whispered.
Folken looked up at Earth, "And the bracelet?"
"What?"
"Did she take the bracelet with her?"
"Well.yeah.I mean of course. Why?"
Folken shook his head, "It doesn't matter. What matters is that Van and the others are in prison. My doppleganger worked quite well I might add."
"Why do you trust a doppleganger?" Dilandau asked.
Folken didn't respond, and turned to leave.
"Folken," he said to him. "I will bring Lina back."
"You become more shocking by the day Dilandau." Folken said and he left.
Lina dragged herself to school the following day, with Dilandau's glove in her pocket, bracelet on her slim wrist. The sadness in her heart was heavy and she looked up in the sunlight. There was Dilandau, standing there. He turned to her and bashfully waved and then faded away.
I'm pretending he is here now.
Lina slipped into math class, next to a window and the teacher started talking. Lina opened her mathbook to 810 and glanced out the window. She did a double take.
"Folken?" she whispered.
There, indeed, was Folken. Lina couldn't tell if he was real or fake. Folken turned to her and all of a sudden two great white wings came from his back. Lina gasped and kept her eyes glued to him, his t-shirt ripping apart. Folken stared at her and his wings took her breath away. They were so pretty.so perfect. Folken faded and Lina looked at the clock. No way. No way could she stand six more hours of this hell. No. Lina stumbled up, grabbing her bag.
"Miss Lina," the teacher sneered, "Just where do you think you are going?"
"I have to go." Lina said in a daze and bolted out of the room, the teacher yelling after her.
Dilandau stared at Van in the prison cell. He silently muttered prayers under his breath.
Folken walked up next to him.
"Dilandau, how are you?"
"Come back Lina, come back." He whispered.
Folken looked at Van, "Van.come with me brother."
Folken went into his whole speech to Van who screamed and raved as Dilandau muttered the prayers. He pictured Lina in his mind. Her hair, her eyes...skin...laugh...smile...he was afraid it was all going to fade away and he wouldn't remember the girl who was sent to save him. Lina.
"Dilandau," Folken said quickly, "Get a cell ready for my brother."
Dilandau nodded and turned to leave. He turned the corner when he got rather dizzy and slumped against the wall.
He was in a long endless hallway and he was alone.
"Is anyone there?"
"Dilandau?" came a voice.
He turned to see Lina, looking around her. She was flying a little too.
"Lina! Have you returned?" he asked.
Lina shook her head, "I don't think so. I'm still on Earth."
"Can't you return?"
Lina was in her room one second and now in this hallway with Dilandau. The planets were allowing them to talk. For how long she didn't know.
"I don't think I can yet."
"I've been praying non stop." Dilandau told her.
Lina smiled, "As have I. Keep at it, Dilandau. We must mend the planet's connection."
Dilandau got close to her and reached for her hand but his went through.
"Illusions." He whispered.
"I'll return, Dilandau." Lina cried as she faded away.
Lina awoke on her bedroom floor and sat up.
"Another vision thing." She whispered to herself.
Lina looked at Dilandau's glove and picked it up again.
"He was praying for me." She smiled.
All of a sudden, she heard a noise and her head snapped upwards. It was a faded outlook of Folken and his brother Van.
"Folken?" she asked but he couldn't hear her.
"I won't turn to your side!" Van wailed.
"Why not? I want you to join me."
"You crazy-"
"Come, join me Van."
"Never! Stay the hell away from me!"
Lina reached out to touch Folken.
Folken felt a sudden tug on his cloak. He tore his eyes away from Van to his feet to see a faded outlook of Lina on her feet.
"Lina?" he muttered.
She couldn't hear him, but was tugging on him as if to see he was real. Van gasped.
"Who the hell.?" he muttered. "It's that girl Hitomi and I saw."
"Yes. She's from the Mystic Moon."
"What is she doing grabbing onto you?" Van cried.
"She's trying to get back here." Folken said.
Dilandau got the prison room ready and walked down the hallway to get to Folken. He froze when he saw an outline of a girl.
"Lina?" he ran to Folken, "Lina?!" he cried.
"She can't hear us." Folken muttered.
Lina's head spun to Dilandau and she reached out to touch him.
"Lina." he whispered under his breath.
Lina's hand touched Dilandau and there was a huge white flash.
She wasn't sure what was happening, except that a white light was covering her. When the white light faded, Dilandau looked at her in amazament. Folken just stared and Van gasped.
"An Angel?" he muttered.
"No. She is like us, Van." Folken said and Lina turned to see two great wings from her back.
"What?" she whispered.
When she looked back up the others had faded.
"Damn it! No! Come back here! Don't.Dilandau.don't leave me alone." Lina whispered.
She was alone though and her wings vanished.
"What did those wings mean, Folken? Is she like us?" exclaimed Van.
"No. She isn't."
Folken looked at Dilandau and suddenly realized the young boy understood all to well what the wings meant.
"I want her back here. I want.the bracelet." Folken muttered.
Dilandau didn't respond, he just left.
It would be as hard for him as it would be as hard for Dilandau.
The End
So, you want chapter eight? It's getting to a gooooood part! So review!

Lina reached out to touch Folken.
Folken felt a sudden tug on his cloak. He tore his eyes away from Van to his feet to see a faded outlook of Lina on her feet.

She couldn't hear him, but was tugging on him as if to see he was real. Van gasped.
"Who the hell.?" he muttered. "It's that girl Hitomi and I saw."
"Yes. She's from the Mystic Moon."
"What is she doing grabbing onto you?" Van cried.
"She's trying to get back here." Folken said.
Dilandau got the prison room ready and walked down the hallway to get to Folken. He froze when he saw an outline of a girl.
"Lina?" he ran to Folken, "Lina?!" he cried.

"What?" she whispered.
When she looked back up the others had faded.
"Damn it! No! Come back here! Don't.Dilandau.don't leave me alone." Lina whispered.
She was alone though and her wings vanished.
"What did those wings mean, Folken? Is she like us?" exclaimed Van.
"No. She isn't."
Folken looked at Dilandau and suddenly realized the young boy understood all to well what the wings meant.
"I want her back here. I want.the bracelet." Folken muttered.
Dilandau didn't respond, he just left.
It would be as hard for him as it would be as hard for Dilandau.

So, you want chapter eight? It's getting to a gooooood part! So review!
