Escaflowne #19
Broken Thoughts
Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne or anything from it! Here we are folks, getting closer to the end. I can't wait to finish this.
Dilandau saw Folken holding Lina and Folken wrapped his wings around Lina so he couldn't see her anymore. Dilandau watched them slowly fly up and land at the edge of the cliff. Lina stepped away from Folken, her face blank and she looked in shock. Dilandau ran to her, grabbing her shoulders.
"Lina!" he cried to her.
Lina looked at him and opened her mouth. She let out a small little sound.
"Dilandau.I.I." she whispered.
Lina closed her eyes and fell into his arms. Dilandau held her tightly, for she had passed out. He turned to Van.
"We'll be taking her." Dilandau heard himself say.
"But!" Van cried.
Folken put back his wings and they were swallowed up in the crowds.
"BROTHER! COME BACK HERE!" Van screamed.
Folken walked into Lina's bedroom to see Dilandau was already there, watching Lina. Dilandau was quite pale and his eyelids were flickering, since he was so tired.
"How is she?" Folken asked.
"OK, I think." Dilandau whispered.
Folken went over, breathing hard, staring at her lovely face. Then he spoke.
"Dilandau?" he muttered.
"What?"
Folken couldn't bring himself to look at Dilandau, but he asked him the question anyway.
"Do you love her?" He whispered.
The air went silent and finally Dilandau replied. Folken left.
"Do you love her?" He whispered.
Dilandau looked at the back of Folken, his heart pounding. His gaze switched to Lina.
"Yes." He heard himself mutter.
Folken left.
When Lina opened her eyes, she was alone. The room was cold and it was sunset. Lina wrapped her quilt around her tightly.
"I love you, Lina."
She was sure her heart had skipped a beat. Had Folken got his memory back? Lina shut her eyes once more, seeing his black wings. His face looking at her, his touch.
His lips.
Lina shivered and she sat up.
"I love you, Lina."
He loves me.
Lina looked out the window. Some part of her wondered.just how did Dilandau feel? She felt something in her pocket and pulled out his glove. From so long ago.She brought it to her face and fell back asleep with it in her hands.
"Is he dead yet?"
"No." Folken replied to Dornkirk.
Dornkirk sighed a long tired sigh.
"She has the bracelet and we have her. We have the necklace. I've already sent out a team to get the girl from the Mystic Moon. Then we can raise the sword out of Escaflowne and control fate."
"Yes, Master." Folken whispered, feeling sick.
If that bracelet and necklace went into Escaflowne, Hitomi would die. As would.Lina.
"Are you sure they are they correct items?" Folken pleaded.
If they put in the wrong items, they wouldn't have a second chance. Their plan would be ruined.
"I'm sure." Dornkirk whispered and the screen shut off.
And with that, so did Folken's life.
Dilandau bumped into Folken.
"It's 4:00 AM, what are you doing up?" Dilandau hissed.
"Can't sleep."
"They are going after her, aren't they?"
Folken just nodded. Dilandau felt ill and his knees went weak. He sat down in his seat.
"No." he heard himself whisper.
Folken and Dilandau's eyes met from across the table.
For once they were going to do something good.
Dilandau was sick of being of evil anyway.
A noise woke her up. Lina rubbed her eyes, putting the glove back in her pocket. She toyed with the water and fire charms on her bracelet when she heard the noise again. She sat up and saw two cloaked figures. At once, a hand covered her mouth. Lina let out a ragged scream. The men were in cloaks, somewhat like Folken's.
"Does she have the bracelet?" one asked.
"Yes. And Hitomi is already here. Everything is in plan." The other one spoke.
Lina struggled against the two men, but they were too strong. She was tugged out of bed and was dragged across the floor.
This time, no one could save her.
Folken stopped by a soldier.
"Is the girl from the Mystic Moon here already?"
"Yes, sir. They have her waiting for Miss Lina."
Folken paled and Dilandau and him started to run again.
"Dornkirk will have them." Dilandau cried.
They ran quicker when they saw Lina being dragged by two Zaibach Sorcerers down the hallway.
"They got her already?" Folken muttered.
Lina was thrown into Dornkirk's room. The door started to shut. Dilandau ran faster, throwing a fireball at it. The door gave a little computer beep and stayed open.
Hitomi saw Lina over by the two men. She was screaming and kicking.
"I have the necklace." Another man said.
"Good." The taller man replied.
Hitomi tried to move but it was too hard. At once, the door lit up in a fireball.
"DILANDAU!" screamed Lina.
It couldn't be.
It was though. Folken and Dilandau rushed in. At once, two soldiers forced them against the wall, tying them up. They struggled, but it was of no use. They quickly injected a drug into their legs. Hitomi lowered her head. Dornkirk came out of the shadows.
"Everything is now in place. Put the bracelet and necklace in Escaflowne."
Hitomi saw Escaflowne. When they had captured her, they had managed to get Escaflowne as well. Even Van couldn't save her. Her mind quickly thought of Allen, but she pushed that aside. No one could save them now.
Dilandau was weak. The wall dug into his back. He looked at Lina. The necklace slid into Escaflowne and at once Hitomi whimpered. Escaflowne glowed and Hitomi's knees gave out. She threw back her head and screamed. Lina yelped, trying to escape. The bracelet slid into Escaflowne.
Nothing happened.
The room went silent and Dilandau felt his knees give out. Hitomi was on the floor, knocked out.
"What is wrong?" Dornkirk muttered.
Escaflowne was making strange noises, the color had drained from it.
"It can't be! The bracelet was the wrong one?" asked a Sorcerer.
"No.The bracelet had a water charm on it. Another charm must be confusing Escaflowne!" Dilandau looked at Lina.
The Fire Charm.
God damn it, Dilandau! You friggen genuis! You added that fire charm!
Lian felt like singing. Dilandau had saved her. She looked up at him to smile, but instead a fist went into her face. Lina hit the floor, gasping for breath.
"Kill them both. Maybe their blood can save Escaflowne." Dornkirk replied.
Lina felt herself twitch. Another punch was brought down to her face. She groaned and rolled, trying to shake the pain off.
I didn't tell Dilandau.
Wait for me.
Folken, hang on!
Dilandau, I.
No..
Hiya Mommy.
Broken thoughts went through her mind and she yelped. She saw a gun being brought to her face.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed someone.
Folken ripped from the wall and tried to stop the bullet. The man turned around and shot Folken. Pain ripped through every surface of Folken and he hit the floor.
Blood.
My own blood.
"FOLKEN!" screamed Lina.
He saw the outline of Lina leaning next to him. She placed his head in her lap. She stroked his face and was crying.
"Lina." he whispered to her.
Lina just looked at him.
"Before I go."
"No! Don't say that!" she whispered.
But Lina knew. They both knew he wasn't going to live.
"Before I go.one kiss.please." he begged to her.
Lina looked at Folken, his face growing weaker, his body sagging. He had saved her. Twice now. And she would give him something before he died. Lina leaned down and kissed him. She kissed him hard, crying. There was a shining light and Lina back away. The bracelet came to Lina and their was another charm. A tear charm. A purple tear.
"It worked." He muttered.
Lina watched as the bracelet slipped on. She looked down at Folken and Folken smiled.
"I love you Lina. I.understand.you don't feel.the same way.but.take care of him."
"Folken.wait!"
But Folken's body gave a final shiver and he was gone.
