Escaflowne #9
Praying for The Light
Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne or anything from Escaflowne. I just like to *cuddle * with Folken and Dilly!
When Folken awoke the next day, he felt like hell. The sunlight hit his face and he reached over and closed the blinds on the windows, slumping back into bed. He had kissed Lina all because Dornkirk had told him too. It would cement her trust in Folken, not Dilandau.
Should I be listening to that freak?
Folken shoved all those thoughts out of his mind, thinking of Lina. He had been a long time since he had kissed anyone. It had been quite a long time anyone had kissed him like that.
Stop that.
Folken sighed and sat up, getting ready for another day.
Dilandau woke up that day and sighed heavily. Another day like this, feeling guilty over not praying for Lina.
She saved your friggen life.moron.
"Shut up!" he screamed to himself and began stroking his cheek. "It stings today." He commented to himself, wondering what Lina would say.
Folken had been gone an awful long time last night. He hadn't told Dilandau where he was going either.
Where could Folken have gone?
Dilandau rolled on his side, drifting back to sleep.
When the sunlight hit her face, Lina was glad it was Spring Break. She wouldn't have to worry about school for a whole week. All of a sudden, the room swirled and she was in a city.
It was fire and there was Dilandau's guymelif fighting Escaflowne. And all of a sudden she was falling.
"Help me!" she screamed.
The falling went on until there was a white light and angel wings.
"Dilandau?" she whispered.
The boy grabbed her hand and she felt like she was safe once more.
Lina opened her eyes to find herself still on Earth, still alone. It had been a vision, nothing more. Her heart was thumping and she shut her eyes tightly. The night before dove into her mind. Folken had kissed her. He told her he had trusted her. A slow smile crept along her face, as she pictured meeting Folken again. She sighed heavily.
"Another stupid crush, Lina." She whispered to herself.
Lina looked down at the glove she had threw on the floor. She felt no emotion, just a little freaked out.
"Dilandau.he's.crazy." she whispered.
At once, she felt afraid of Dilandau, wondering why she never noticed it before.
The Dornkirk Image came back on the large screen. Folken grew tired of Dornkirk's voice, and babbles about things he already knew.
"Where is the bracelet?" he asked roughly.
"I had to move onto Plan B."
"And how did that work?"
"She has put her trust in me."
"Do you think she has forgotten about Dilandau?"
"I suppose she has."
"Good. Then I want you to make sure to bring the Fire Princess here soon."
Folken bowed and left, rolling his eyes.
Dilandau backed out of the room, his heart pounding. Why did he go and listen in on that conversation? Just what was Plan B? What had Folken done to make Lina trust Folken and not him.
"There you are, Dilandau." Said Folken and Dilandau looked up.
"Yes, Folken-sama?" he said, trying not to bash his face in.
"How is Van?"
"He's sleeping still, Folken-sama."
Dilandau tried not to scream "WHAT DID YOU DO TO LINA?!" He knew Folken went to the Mystic Moon last night. Folken turned to leave.
"Oh, Folken-sama?"
Folken stopped and turned around, "Yes?"
"Where were you last night? You came rather late."
Folken's cold eyes bored into him, "Actually, I was on the Mystic Moon, trying to find Lina."
"Any success?" Dilandau asked him and he froze again.
Folken had a sinking feeling Dilandau was listening in on the conversation with Dornkirk.
"A little." He muttered.
If Dilandau knew what Plan B was, or anything else about last night's visit, he didn't reply. Dilandau just walked next to Folken and turn right when he turned left.
"Dilandau." Folken said.
Dilandau stopped and turned around, "It's for our own good." Folken replied and left.
Lina was sitting in the park, reading her book when she fell backwards on the bench.
"Dilandau." Folken was there and the sight of him made Lina's heart pound.
Dilandau stopped and turned to Folken, his silver hair moving when he moved.
"It's for our own good." Folken replied and left.
Dilandau stared straight ahead and muttered to himself, "Why don't you admit already Folken?" and left.
Lina's eyes opened to see it was night time.
"What? I was out all that time?" she muttered to herself.
Lina stood up and grabbed her book, checking her watch. Midnight. Damn it was cold. Lina started walking down the cobble stone path when she was aware of shadows and whispering behind her. Lina picked up her pace, feeling fear creep up her spine.
"Hey, baby, where ya going?" cried a voice.
They are drunk.
Lina walked quicker, "Don't think you can get away, bimbo!" cried another man.
Lina began to run, her feet running into the forest, the men behind her. She ran into a clearing and tripped.
"Don't worry babe, we'll be gentle."
"Yeah, gentle!" joked the fourth man.
Lina! She's in trouble!
"Get away from me!" she screamed and the man came up to her.
At once there was a beam of light shot down to her and she felt herself rise upwards.
"What the?" the man screamed.
Lina felt herself rising upwards, higher and higher.
"What's going on?" cried one man.
Dilandau fell to his knees, seeing Lina in his mind.
"Lina, come back! Get away from those men and return here! Come back Lina!" Dilandau whispered.
Dilandau.he's praying for me.why? She was high up in the air now, the men dots. The white light circled around her and she breathed hard as the white light was all she could see now. The wind whipped around her and she held onto her shoulders. The last time she was being taken to Gaea, Dilandau had held her. Now she was alone.
Dilandau.did you know I was in trouble?
"Lina! Come back to Gaea! Stay away from those men!" Dilandau begged and in his mind he could see Lina flying higher until she was gone from his view.
The white beam of light shot down from the heavens and at once, Lina felt herself being dropped down on Gaea. She hit the ground with a soft thud and breathed heavily.
"Folken? Dilandau?" she whispered in the night air.
She heard soft footsteps behind her and voices.
"The light was over here! Come on, hurry!" cried a voice.
"Who could it be?"
"Someone from Earth!"
At once, the two people broke through the trees and in the darkness, Lina saw it was Hitomi. With her was the man one of her first visions, Allen, with his long blond hair.
"Lina!" exclaimed Hitomi.
"Hitomi.I." Lina was at a loss for words.
"Hitomi, you know this girl?" Allen replied, walking up to Lina and kneeling next to her.
Hitomi nodded, "But I thought you were already sent on Gaea."
"I was sent back. Now I have returned." Lina whispered in the night air.
"Allen, we have to take her back to the Crusade." Hitomi pleaded.
Allen nodded, and held out his hand, "I'm Allen."
Lina didn't catch his last name because at once a large mole popped up next to him.
The moles want to eat her.
Lina yelped and backed away.
"Why do I always scare everyone?" he muttered.
"Because you're scary." Hitomi replied.
Allen turned to Lina and helped her up, "I'll protect you miss, as my duty as a knight, no a man."
It was quite hard to keep from laughing or pretending to hurl when Allen said this, but she managed a nod. The group turned to the forest and the mole man left. Hitomi walked next to her.
"I thought you were with Dilandau." Hitomi asked her.
"I was until I was sent back." Lina explained.
Allen turned around, "You were with Zaichbach?"
She nodded.
Allen yelped, "Is Van there? Is he OK?"
Lina responded, "When I had my visions he was still there.and he was OK. I don't think Folken would hurt him."
"A leader of Zaichbach would do anything." Allen said and turned to walk ahead.
"Allen doesn't know." Hitomi whispered.
Lina looked at her, "About Van and Folken?"
She nodded.
Folken's eyes darted over to Dilandau who's eyes darted away. They had been playing this game for long enough now.
"Why are you staring at me, Folken-sama?" Dilandau said, but could not contain the happiness in his voice.
"You're happy. No cities have been burned down, no deaths have been caused.that means Lina is the reason you are happy."
Dilandau shuffled in his seat, "She's returned, hasn't she?" Folken pressed.
Dilandau looked guilty and Folken smirked, "Lina has returned to Gaea."
"It wasn't because of you." Dilandau cut him off.
Folken looked at Dilandau.
"Then why?"
"She was going to be attacked by four men. I prayed at the right time and she was brought here."
"Are you sure that is why?" Folken asked.
"Yes."
Folken just took a sip of his wine, "What is Plan B?" Dilandau asked, finishing his wine.
"I don't think you would care to know."
"What did you do to Lina that makes you so sure she trusts you?" Dilandau said, shaking.
Folken opened his eyes and looked at him.
"What did you do?!" Dilandau screamed, rage eating him.
"Now, now, Dilandau. Nothing harmful."
"What then?" He cried.
"At least, nothing harmful to her. To you, you might think it is harmful."
"TELL ME FOLKEN!"
Folken looked up, the same half smile etched upon his lips and he stood up to leave.
"You know girls, Dilandau. They often have.crushs on older men."
"What are you talking about?"
"The girls simply.dream.about their first kiss-"
"TELL ME RIGHT NOW DAMN IT! OR I'M GOING TO BURN EVERYONE IN THE VIONE!" he shrieked and Folken looked down at him.
"I kissed her, Dilandau."
And he left. Want Chapter 10? REVIEW!
