Escaflowne #16
Meeting Lina
Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne or anything from Escaflowne. I'm just a girl who people say is "too old for cartoons." I will not get into the fight about anime not being cartoons.heh.
Thanks for the reviews! Enojy!
Lina woke up to see Dilandau looking over her. Her head was pounding and Lina sat straight up, babbling.
"The angel! Dilandau, the angel! Was it you? The angel! It saved me! It saved me!"
Dilandau slapped her and she came to her senses, rubbing her cheek.
"Are you OK?" Dilandau asked.
Lina nodded, looking out the window to see the sky high above them.
"Where are we?"
"The Vione. You were out the whole time." Dilandau said, looking grim.
"Oh." she whispered.
"I'll let you get changed and then we'll tell Folken we've returned." Dilandau said and left Lina to herself.
"Folken.I've returned." She muttered.
The thoughts of kissing Folken whirled around her brain. Lina lowered her gaze and sighed. She had kissed Folken and kissed Dilandau. Would seeing Folken again change her feelings? Lina was happy she was on Gaea with Dilandau, but what would happen if she met Folken once again?
Dilandau looked out the window, his mind thinking back to what Lina had yelled when she was out cold.
"Folken!" she had screamed.
Why not for him? Why hadn't she called for him? It was obvious a part of her loved Folken. Maybe all of her did. Maybe she was just using him to get to Folken. Dilandau shivered, touching his lips which he had kissed Lina with.
"Lord Dilandau? Lord Folken wishs to see the girl and you."
Dilandau stood up and walked back in the clinic to see Lina brushing her hair. He closed the door and stood behind her.
"Folken wants to see us."
She nodded. Dilandau took the comb and began to brush her hair.
"Lina," he said to her and Lina asked what, "I understand if you don't.have any feelings for me and love Folken. I.understand if it was all a lapse of your senses. I know you love Folken and-" Lina turned around, the comb falling to the floor, her hair swirling around her.
"I don't love him! I lo-"
"Miss Lina? Lord Folken wishs to see you."
Lina stopped cold and Dilandau told the guard they would be right there. Lina was blushing and Dilandau rubbed his eyes.
"Come on." He said and they walked to Folken.
Folken would be intrested in seeing this girl from the Mystic Moon. He wondered if she would have four eyes and green skin. That girl Hitomi didn't, but maybe this girl would. They walked in. The girl had long blond hair, and green eyes. She was somewhat tanned and behind Dilandau.
"Hi, Folken." She said meekly, sounding as though they had met before.
"Hello. It's nice to meet you."
Lina looked puzzled for a second and then smiled. Folken turned to Dilandau.
"So where is she from?"
Dilandau looked at him, "What do you mean? You know where. The Mystic Moon. Duh."
"How would I know that if I've never met the girl before?" Folken said, feeling a hint of anger.
"What?" Dilandau and Lina said at the same time.
"I've never met her before." Folken stated.
"Yes, you have!" Lina cried, looking confused and turning to Dilandau.
"What is wrong with you? Are you trying to play some stupid little game, Folken-sama? You kissed her before!" he cried to him.
Folken scoffed, "No, I didn't." he said.
"Wha?" Lina muttered, backing away a little.
They looked at him like they were crazy. They were the crazy ones. As if he had kissed someone he had never met. And why had Dornkirk yelled at him for not remembering this girl? How could he remember a girl he had never met?
Why is he doing this?
Lina's mind was like water. She couldn't understand why Folken was saying such things. She felt sad now, knowing the man who had gave her her first kiss wouldn't even look at her.
"What are you talking about Folken?" cried Lina, her knees shaking.
Folken just looked at her, "I think you should call me Mr. Folken. I hardly know you and that would be more-"
"FOLKEN!" cried Dilandau, "Stop it! Stop this! Whatever child like prank this is, just stop it!"
Dilandau said to him, turning to leave, "Come on Lina."
Lina stood up, shaking and looking at Folken. Why was he doing this?
He never liked you. He never did. So just stop it, Lina. Don't get all hung up over it. He's an ass. But why? Why is he doing this? Can't he tell I have feelings for him? For him? What about Dilandau? I.I like him too.I do.it's just, Folken was the first guy to kiss me and.
"Come on Lina." Dilandau said again and the two left.
"So you are saying Lord Folken doesn't remember Miss Lina?" asked Miguel.
Dilandau nodded, staring out the window, "Yes."
"I'm not sure what to say.Lord Dilandau." Miguel muttered.
Dilandau waved his hand, "Don't worry about it. What we need to worry about now if finding the other piece to get the sword out of Escaflowne."
"We have tracked Escaflowne down on the Crusade over the West Vally." Said Dalet.
Dilandau stroked his cheek, "Good. Good. Fly there. I'll give Van a little visit."
"But sir, Lord Folken told us-"
"Is Lord Folken your boss?" Dilandau asked, sneering.
"No.sir."
The door opened and a guard came in, "Lord Dilandau, Lady Lina is here to see you."
"Bring her in." Dilandau said and Lina walked in, looking unsure of herself.
"What, Lina?"
"Are you going to do an assualt on the Crusade?" Lina asked.
"Yes, why?"
"Allen told me they were stopping to do repairs on the West Vally Mt. They were doing the repairs in a tight space that guymelefs cannot reach. Escaflowne is there."
Dilandau looked at her thoughtfully, "Really? Shesta, change the Vione's path to West Vally Mt. Then, we'll attack from there."
"How?" Gatti asked.
"Horses."
That night, Lina knocked on Dilandau's door, he opened to look angry, but that look fell when he saw her.
"Lina? Would you like to come in?"
Lina nodded and stepped in, "Dilandau.I want to be there when you attack the Crusade."
Dilandau walked next to her, "This isn't like a guymelef fight. This will be sword to sword-"
"I know that. But I can do it. I know it. I think part of me knows how to sword fight, as it did to fight in your guymelef."
Lina sat down, hoping Dilandau would agree.
"We've narrowed down that the other piece for the sword of Escaflowne is inside the Crusade. We think it might be that girl's necklace. That is what my boss told me."
"Hitomi?" Lina whispered, unsure of her self now.
"Yes. Maybe you could sneak in, grab the necklace and I'll be waiting for you to escape." Dilandau said, looking at her.
Lina picked at her hands, which started to bleed, "Ok." She muttered.
"Are you.sure?"
"Yes."
Lina turned to Dilandau and smiled to him.
"Thank you." She said and turned back to him.
"What?"
"How do you know it is Hitomi's necklace?"
"I had a meeting with Folken and he told me while we were on Gaea, it turns out that Hitomi uses her necklace to see our guymelefs. My boss told me she is the one with the power to bring the sword out of Escaflowne."
"And who has the other piece?" Lina asked.
Dilandau didn't respond, he just looked out the window. Lina felt herself shiver and left.
"I trust you, Lina."
Folken tilted her face.
Folken snapped out of it. He shook his head to himself.
"What a weird dream." he muttered as he thought back to the dream.
He was in some room with Lina and was about to kiss her. He sighed to himself. It was because of Dilandau he had that dream. Folken walked down the hallway to the meeting room to see Dilandau already there with the Dragonslayers.
"Lina will be coming with us." Dilandau said to Folken.
"Why?" he demanded to know.
"She can help."
"She has never been in a sword fight before."
Dilandau stood up, "I know that. But she can do it. I know she can."
Folken scoffed, "And what gave you that idea?"
"Because she can! I know she can!" He cried to him.
Dilandau knew Lina could sword fight. If she could fight in a melef then she could swordfight.
"Fine. If she dies it isn't my problem. We need that bracelet from her." Folken said to Dilandau.
"Can't we get the sword without using the bracelet?"
"No! You understand, Dilandau. When we use the necklace and bracelet, their powers will be drained. After they die, the sword will come out."
"Are you sure the two objects are correct? If we put in the wrong object we can't try again. We only have one chance." Dilandau said, his eyes growing hard.
"Just make sure Lina doesn't die, or the power of Atlantis and fate cannot be ours." Folken said and left.
Why.why is he acting like he doesn't remember Lina?
