Chapter 15: Thoughts of Death
The 3:04 bell rang at the middle school. Where Victoria used to wait for them at the corner, Rachel, Daron, Stacy, and Jamie passed drably. Daron tried to cheer his girlfriend up. (Rachel is Daron's girlfriend on Earth.)
"Come on, Rachel … cheer up!!! She's probably hiding some where in the woods behind her house or something … I bet she did this to get some attention …" Daron said.
Stacy and Rachel sent a death glare toward Daron. Jamie just stood behind them blinking.
"Vicki wouldn't do that!" Stacy contradicted Daron.
Rachel stayed quiet. "I wonder if something happened with her mom … it was already hard enough as it was …" she thought.

Philip sat at the computer desk at his Dad's house. Victoria was normally always there ... On the internet or writing a story of some sort. Whenever she wasn't working she was on the computer. He sighed, remembering when they use to joke about what they would do if they went to Gaea.
*Flash back thingy …*
"First I'd find Celena and get Dilandau back … together we would burn the new, rebuilt Fanelia, kill Hitomi and Van, and re-unite Zaibach!!! Zaibach would be Gaea's great nation again …" Victoria would say with a dreamy look.
"Hahaha~ Empress Victoria of Zaibach … lemme guess … Dallet would be your slave and you would do certain …*cough* … cruel things to him?" he asked.
Victoria laughed and coughed nervously adding quietly under her breath "either Dallet, Dilandau, Folken, or Miguel …"
"BUT ANYWAY …" she would say … "What about you?"
"I'd be your torturer …you know~ take poor, innocent people, give em' to me, and I'd practice the medieval tortures on em' … BUHAHAHAHHAHA!!!" he'd cackle insanely.
Anyone else would have run-away screaming or be frozen in terror with a million sweat drops.
Victoria's only answer was "Why would I hire you?"
*End little touchy flash back thingy*
He sighed~ that would be just like her …

Van Fanel walked back and forth in front of Hitomi Kanzaki who was doing a reading for the arrogant Draconian scum.
"Let's see," she said "There's "La Torre" (the Tower), L. Impiccato (Hanged Man), The Devil, "La Luce" (the Ace of Serpents) and La Morte (the death card) …
"THE DEATH CARD?!" Hitomi shrieked.
"What does it all mean, Hitomi? What's going to happen?!" Van asked.
The tower … bad luck~ or distant separation … Hanged man~ self sacrifice … The Ace of Serpents is you, Van … The devil means a feud, and the death card comes right after La Luce … Soon there will be a feud involved with self sacrifice, and if fate is not changed you will die …
Van shrieked like a little girl and Merle ran up and hugged him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rachel sat in her room, deep in thought. She had thought of every where Victoria would have gone … but none had been right. She wondered why she didn't say good bye to her … she thought they were best friends …
She sighed and rolled over on her pillow. ** /_\ ** *AW, POOR RACHEL!!*
She pulled out a dagger from under her bed and slid it out of it's sheath. She looked at the cool metal that reflected her and ran the blade over her left arm slowly and lightly. The blade was cold and sent shivers up her spine. One little drop of blood protruded from her skin. Blood had a sweet, metallic taste to it. The pain took her mind of things. She sighed and put the dagger up.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Dilandau walked in front of the six slayers: Dallet, Victoria, Miguel, Chesta, Viole, and Gatti.
"Slayers …" he said glaring at Victoria "we have a mission … Lord Doinkork has ordered us to go to Fanelia and capture the dragon. Every one to your Alseides units. Stealth cloaks on … every one in position!!!"
The Slayers and Dilandau got into their Alseides. Victoria was glad she had been trained to use one properly and was now a thriving guymelef fighter. Dilandau took off and the slayers took off after him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Balgus bowed before Van at his coronation ceremony. He was given the royal sword of Fanelia … and he held up the glowing energist of the Dragon he had slain. It shone brightly … it was time to summon the sleeping dragon of the Fanelian royal house.
A guard from the gates ran up to Balgus and warned him of an approaching enemy. He told him it was invisible but wiping out men fast. Balgus told him to get the women and children to the shelters and round up the able bodied men.
"Lord Van!!! Take Lady Hitomi to the shrine!!! Run, if it is necessary you'll have to take Escaflowne and flee!!!" Balgus shouted.
"But Balg-- …" he complained, but Balgus sent him on his way.
Already waiting for Van and Hitomi though, in the shrine was a certain dragon slayer named Victoria. Since she had watched the series she knew what his moves would be …and her first target was Hitomi Kanzaki. With out Hitomi, Zaibach would have won the Destiny Wars … and the dragon slayers and Dilandau would still be there … she was the one who taught Van how to douse … it would be so much fun to kill her … to avenge the dragon slayers … or can you pre-avenge? Either way~ her loyalty lied with Zaibach all the way … Hitomi Kanzaki would die today at the hands of Victoria Townley …
2nd A/N: YAY!!! I POSTED!!! HEHEHE~ DIE HITOMI DIE!!! DIE VAN DIE!!! MUHEHEHEHEHE~ By the way~ NO DILLY WOULDN'T BE MAD IF I KILLED VAN … this occurs BEFORE they even meet … ~CrimsonFire
