How could she sleep, it was almost impossible, staring at the dark ceiling, wondering if there even was one, she didn't see any, a black empty void that hovered over her bed, not realizing as she self consciously fiddled with a necklace that hung around her neck on a black chain. The emblem shaped as a dragon, black in colour as well matching the chain, with a red jewel in the claw which grasped it firmly. Not knowing it was there actually.

She was rushed out of that room quickly after she asked what she meant by kill them...hoping she did not mean those harsh words, no one deserved to die, not even strangers whom she never met, how could she feel such pity and remorse for those who wished to cause herself harm, trusting celest...who else did she have to trust, everything happening so fast, and was confused beyond belief, but was calm, unable to lash out at her thoughts, to try and reorganize them in some way. Letting out a soft sigh as she sat up and ran her fingers through her hair trying to think a moment as she closed her eyes, hearing in her mind over and over the song, now it was up to the third line..

Follow my love, follow me heart, together we shall be, only in dreams forgotten With wings ill carry you to my heart, back again, how could you forget?

Our love I thought was eternal, but now it's been imprisoned, come back to my love

"Oh it doesn't make any sense..." She sighed sitting up and letting her bare feet touch the cold floor feeling a small shiver crawl up her spine, but shaking it off, why was it so cold and dark here? Why did she feel so lonely, walking to the window that was sealed shut tight, but not bothering to open it, looking up at the night sky smiling at the mystic moon a moment but going into a trance of sorts as she stared at it longer.

"Ill never forget you! I promise!.." Seeing a bright light surround her and her grasp on his arms being ripped away tears forming in her eyes as she stared at her love. "I promise!"

She gasped stepping away from the window, seeing his face, oh how much she missed his face, the tears that escaped her in the vision now flowing once more now, touching them with the tips of her fingers and she shook hr head, but before she could call out his name, truly remember, a red light appeared, looking down at the dragon emblem, the stone shining lightly, and she forgot once more, smiling softly as she walked away form the window, Vans face, her love, and all emotions, escaping her memory, held fast in its imprisonment.

Sitting back down on the bed and laying down, slowly closing her eyes feeling sleeps grasp engulf her, everything turning into darkness and drifting into a light sleep, her dreams one puzzle after another, only given certain pieces that would never fit together, missing the rest.

"Damnit!" Van cursed as he pried at the bars with his hands, what was going on! First there was no guards then all of a sudden as soon as they entered that room, they where surrounded, closing his eyes as she rest his forehead on the cold steel bars, fighting back a few tears as she bit his lower lip hard, fighting the pain inside and out, having gashes on his arms and a slice across his cheek, his payment for trying to fight off guards that outnumbered him 100 to 1, looking behind him at the unconscious Allen, to whom he owed a thousand apologies, it was all his fault he was here, trapped in this cell alone, and there fate unknown. Remembering every hit, every blow he had taken for him, the pain of the wounds not hurting him much at all, it was just his heart that ached, wondering why they didn't put him out of his misery then and there, why they kept them alive.

"I can hear you.but where are you, I'm so close." he spoke to himself, listening, hearing Hitomi some how, hearing her voice over and over in his mind, some would think he had gone mad, but no, he heard it, opening his eyes as he looked up, and gasped stepping back, seeing before him a shape, not knowing what it was the light of the flame casting its shadow across the stone walls, appearing the shape of a .but it couldn't be? How could it, following the mutated shadow towards its host, and looking up, up at the wonderful eyes of..

"Hitomi.."he whispered as he smiled over to her, watching as she walked towards him, her smile just as he remembered, her hair.a little longer having seen it as she was riding on the soldiers horse, it made her look older but he loved it just the same any part of her was beautiful. But She did not speak as she stopped just within arms reach of him, watching him a moment, in painful silence they stared at each other.

"You have to get out.you have to" She whispered without moving her lips still smiling softly at him, reaching out her hand and gently caressing his cheeks whipping away a tear that freely rolled down.

He winced, her touch was cold, and painful, like ice, but he ignored it, not thinking anything of it and shook his head "How, how can I get out, there's no way." but he was answered almost instantly.

"Forget, and you will be set free." She whispered again slowly backing away

"Forget? How can I forget! No wait!" he gasped reaching out for her but missed as she turned around, her form melting in with the shadows slowly, and for one brief moment, he thought her eyes had turned blue, a crystal blue, but shook it off, left alone in the darkness once more, alone in his misery, with only his unconscious companion for company, and not even Allen could subside his pain and misery.

"I will never forget to love you...Hitomi.." He said as he slid down the bars, his back pressed to them as he was now seated in a crouched position, wrapping his arms around his legs and placing his forehead on his knees, letting out a stifled sob. "Never."
