A/N: Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson! This chapter's quite a bit twisted. It's called "Breaking into Dilandau's head". Warning!
~~~~~
He floated in the darkness, curled into the fetal position. It was cold. He hated the cold.
Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering...
Stupid bitch. Trapping him here. Not fair. Could just give him another chance. He smiled. Then he would find and kill Van and
his whore. Maybe Allen while he was at it. Dilandau began to giggle as images of Van lying dead and bleeding ran through his mind.
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening...
First, he'd capture them both. Then he'd chain up Van and beat him for good measure. Not to unconsciousness, that'd be no fun.
Then he'd bring out that bitch from the Mystic Moon, and let Van watch as he beat her, too. Van would watch as Dilandau turned
her pale skin a sickly shade of purple, and as her face would swell into deformity. Not to unconsciousness, of course. Then he'd
drag the Dragon's whore to where Van had a nice view, and slit her throat. Van would have to listen as the girl screamed and
begged for mercy. Dilandau grinned.
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray...
Van would have to watch the blood run from his love's neck down her body, watching it as it dripped from her fingers. Then, as
her lifeless body cooled, he'd lick the blood off his dagger. Van, poor, helpless Van would most certainly be furious. And broken.
Most definitely broken. With frustration, anger, and fear. Most definitely fear. But Dilandau wouldn't be done there. He'd take the
dagger he used to bleed the girl, and give Van a scar to match his own. Then he'd burn the names of his Dragon Slayers into his
flesh, maybe carve into them at the same time for good measure. Then he'd just sit back with a bottle of vino and watch as Van
slowly bled to death. He laughed.
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away...
Dilandau scowled. He wanted revenge. NOW! But that stupid girl would not let him out to play, and she had trapped him here,
helpless. He shivered. It was really cold.
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering...
Fire. The thought made Dilandau shiver with pleasure. He loved fire. It was perfect. The way it's golden flames danced,
consuming whatever it touched, leaving behind a path of dark, twisted destruction.
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark and the world is threatening...
It was still cold. Fire. Van. Cold. Van! Revenge. Fire. Cold. Revenge. Van. Cold. Van. REVENGE!
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away...
Van. All his Dragon Slayers were died by his hand. Gatti. Chesta. Miguel. Dallet. Viole. Guimel. All dead. Damn him.
Dilandau was alone because of him. Alone.
Return to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Cast aside...
He didn't want to be alone.
"JAJUKA!"
You've made me turn away...
'You're not alone, Dilandau,' A feminine voice floated down to him.
"Not alone?"
'No. Not alone. I'm here. Celena.'
"Celena?"
'Yes. Celena.'
"I'm sorry. Don't leave me alone."
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
'I won't.'
Dilandau nodded, then shivered.
It was cold. He hated the cold.
