Chapter 7: A Plan
The sounds of guards running around and the soft cries of the twins awoke Hitomi. Sluggishly she walked over to the cradles and picked up both her children. "Shhh...it's okay." she rocked them back and forth in her arms gently. Merle, why did you have to leave? Hitomi wondered as she laid Artemis and William back in their cribs. Things would be more easier if you were here . . .
Van sat at the head of the table in the conference room with his advisors. "How have the investigations gone?" he asked. A tall and skinny advisor stood up and spoke.
"We are still awaiting their return your highness." oh god I hope Hitomi's vision doesn't come true. Gaea doesn't need another war.
Van's thoughts were interrupted by his head General burst through the doors. "Sorry your Grace for intruding but we have received word about the object that fell." van sat up right and motioned for him to continue. "My soldiers have reported that the men in the white suits claim to come from the Mystic Moon." The Mystic Moon, it echoed through Van's mind. He, along with the advisors were more than shocked.
"It's the curse of the Mystic Moon!" an advisor shouted. Great . . . now they'll be arguing for hours. As the war of words went on, Van managed to slip out of the room.
Hitomi sat in a rocking chair beside the two cradles. Artemis was already fast asleep in her cradle while William laid in his mother's arms. Carefully Hitomi stood up and placed her son into his cradle. Her mind was still focussed on the men she had seen the other day. Perhaps . . .perhaps I can use my powers to send those men back to earth. But am I able to do that? What limitations do my powers have?
Hitomi walked towards the balcony and let out a sigh of frustration. "Mother, what should I do?" she asked in a whisper. As if an answer to her question a sphere of pure golden light appeared before her. the light then took on a form which was all too familiar to Hitomi.
"If you concentrate hard enough, you can change the future my dear Aria."
"But how mother?" the woman smiled kindly at her daughter.
"Focus your power towards the pendent and then use that energy as you wish." Hitomi stepped towards the woman but she merely vanished.
"Good bye mother." she shut her eyes as a tear fell down her cheek. "And thank you."
Van walked into his room and noticed Hitomi standing by the balcony. He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Van, I know how to get those men off of Gaea." Van was startled. All day he had heard nothing but the strange men. He had hoped that she wouldn't bring it up.
"And how do we do it?" he asked both curious and annoyed. Hitomi moved free of his grasp and smiled at him.
A/N: omg! I updated! I know, it was short but I realised that this isn't the actual plot I had planned! I had something else planned so I'm slowly trying to get the fic back on course to what it was supposed to be. Well, hoped you enjoyed the shortness and I'll try to get the next chapter done and posted soon.
