A LINK TO THE PAST:
CHAPTER TWO:
"What are we looking for here?" Hitomi whispered.
"A little crack..." Lunar said.
"Von knows me, why can't we just go up to the gates a request to see him?"
Lunar seemed a little hesitant, thought about how she was going to explain then sighed wearily. "Okay. For a start.....we can't do that. I can't tell you why, but trust me, okay? I've brought you this far."
"How do you know about this way into the Castle? Have you used it before....wait....your not a thief or something are you?"
Lunar just chuckled. "No. I'm not. I just got told that I had a way in."
"Who's telling you all this? Can you trust them?"
Lunar sighed and motioned to Hitomi to sit down. "Look. I can sense you're worried and just a little nervous.....but, this is really important, okay?"
Hitomi sighed and then flinched as she heard a voice of a patrol guard. It was a new one, he'd just started, but Lunar seemed to study him with a little grin like she remembered something. "See him? That's Zaklia. He joined a week ago. I know him.and I know that although he may seem vigilant, it's a skill he has, to make him look more pro than he is."
Hitomi studied Lunar, her eyes kept placing an image of Van over her, Hitomi fought to blink it away.
"I found it!" Lunar said quietly.
Hitomi turned to see Lunar studying a crack in the wall. She pulled out her sword and Hitomi froze up completely.
That's Van's sword!!!!!! Her mind screamed frantically.
The wall was slowly and quietly chipped away, it was weak anyway and Lunar led Hitomi through. Once they were safe into where ever they were.it looked like an escape hatch or storm door.
"What are you doing with Van's sword?" Hitomi demanded in a shaking voice.
"It's not his.it's like a replica. You'll see later, I promise you.....this doesn't feel all that safe....I know.....but soon you'll understand...." Lunar said and Hitomi was quiet, strangely trusting her.
She'd given her absolutely no reason to. She'd hardly told her anything, why was Hitomi following her? She could run right now, run to the gates and ask to see Van, many knew her, Van would know her, they'd be together eventually......
Suddenly the deep rumble made Lunar swear explosively. "I'm too late....quick, girl, push yourself up to that hatch and shelter under the table right in the middle. Nobody is in there." Hitomi did as she was told without questioning, the suddenly blast came and Lunar was up after them. The only thing left was the silence.
