Chapter 5: Kidnapped







Allen was ready to put his plan in to action. He had heard from the servants that Hitomi was peacefully sleeping. He was preparing everything to take her away from her husband. The girl from the mystic moon would be his at last. He was so happy and walked through the castle with a great smile on his face. As he neared the bedroom of the king and queen of Fanelia, where his love slept, he quieted his feet.

He approached the door and slowly opened it, not wanting to wake the beautiful woman who laid on the bed before him. He walked toward her quickly and quietly, with a bottle of something in his hand. The potion was ready and he was very much nerved up and excited. He stood over her for a few seconds marveling at her beauty. She was so sweet and peaceful, even when she slept. He kind of felt sorry for what he was doing, but knew this was the only way to have the woman he loved. He wrapped his arms around the girl and lifted her off the bed. She began to stir and before she got the chance to wake up fully, he slipped some of the drops of potion down her throat, making sure that she didn't choke on it. He walked out of the castle with Hitomi in his arms. She didn't budge. As he walked, he looked up at the sky and said, "I'm sorry Van that I had to do this. You two were just not meant to be. She was suppose to be mine, and now is her time to go." After this, he looked down at the girl from the Mystic Moon and talked quietly to her sleeping figure.

"Now my love, you will be mine! All mine!" With that they left. He took her on his horse and the rode away to what was an unknown place to most. It was in a forest outside of Fanelia. Allen had figured that no one would ever look here.

The forest was pretty much abandoned because most were afraid to step foot in there. This was because of the legend of the dragons that lived in there. It was said that the dragons in this forest were mad and very unhappy because of something that had happened to them back in the time when they reigned. The spirit of nature created a great storm, killing a lot of the dragons off. The earth shook violently and lightening filled the sky. This great storm destroyed most of the forest and so the dragons that survived it mourned for their friends. They became very upset and crazed by what the spirit of nature did to them. It was said that they would kill anything that was unknown to them. For this reason, most people didn't go anywhere near this forest because of the fear of their own death.

Allen was fearless and had been in there a lot lately preparing for his plan. He kept riding through the forest with Hitomi sleeping peacefully and slowly as she slept, the memories that she loved so much were being taken from her mind.

When they reached their final destination, Allen picked up the sleeping girl and carried her in to their new home. It was a small one room cabin with a small stove inside and it was lit by candles. In the room there were very few things. On one side, there was a shelf with some candles and other small things sitting on it. On the other side of the room, was a bed. Allen laid her on the bed and waited for her to wake up. He lit the stove for some warmth. He didn't want her to get cold.

Later that day, Hitomi woke with a groan. She opened her eyes and looked around. Right away, she knew that something definitely was not right. She couldn't figure out who she was or what she was doing in this small room. The one thing that she did know was that this was definitely not right. Wasn't she suppose to be somewhere else?

"Oh good morning Hitomi my love. How are you today?"

"Mmmmm…. Fine… where am I?"

"You are home my love. Home with you're wonderful husband."

"Oh I see. Something doesn't seem right to me. Don't I live somewhere bigger?"

"Oh of course, but I figured that you and I would come here for a vacation."

Hitomi was hearing what he was saying and tried to believe him, but she knew something didn't seem right. Everything was so fuzzy and unclear to her. She felt like something was missing. Actually to the girl from the mystic moon, a lot was missing.

Allen approached her and pulled her in to an embrace. He closed his eyes and prepared to kiss her then, Hitomi fainted and something very strange happened to her.

She was surrounded by a white light. A figure came out of the light and began to speak to Hitomi.

"You must hold on. Hold on to everything. Don't let him take you from your real destiny."

With that, she opened her eyes again, realizing that she was still in Allen's arms. She tried to pull away from him, but he pulled her closer.

"What's the matter Hitomi, are you alright? Your fainting scared me. Isn't a concerned husband allowed to hold his wife when she is in danger? You know you have to be careful, you are pregnant and we wouldn't want something happening to our baby.

"Our baby." Hitomi thought about those words for a few minutes. This is not right she thought aloud. "He is not right." She tried to open her mouth to tell him to leave her alone, but she couldn't find the words. She knew that it wasn't the person who she was suppose to be with, but for some reason, she was drawn to him. She couldn't figure out why.

Allen took her hand in his and sat beside her on the bed. He looked her in the eyes and began to speak to her.

"Oh Hitomi, I love you so much. I am so glad we are together. You mean so much to me."

After his speech, he pulled himself in front of her. He put his hands on her shoulders and slowly pushed her down on the bed. At this point, he was looking down at her. Then he lay beside her nearing himself to her. He again got ready to kiss her and this time succeeded. She did not kiss him back though, for she knew something wasn't right. She gathered all of her strength and pushed him away from her.

"Look Mr. I know you are not my real husband. I hardly know who I am or where I am or who you are, but I do know you are not the one I am in love with. I want to leave here. I don't want to stay with you. Let me go right now! Find someone else to taunt."

"Oh, but my sweet Hitomi, you do love me. Remember that night when you were so sad and alone. I took you and kissed you that night as well. You know you kissed me back then. I know you loved me. I could feel it with your kiss. There is no reason to deny it."

"No! I don't love you. I love Va…"

She stopped when his name flickered in her mind. Van? I need Van. I need him to come and save me. I love him so much. That's who it is. I need to contact him. I need to get out of here. For him. For us. I need to do this." She thought to herself.

"Look, who ever you are, I am not in love with you and I remember who I love. Let me go. I have to go now, please!'

At that point, Allen realized that his potion had worked against him. He couldn't understand why, but she still remembered Van. Could their love be strong enough for her to be rid of a powerful potion like that? He didn't know at this point, but he did know that he didn't want to loose her. He grabbed her and pushed her down once again. Grabbing some rope and tying her there. Afterward, he sat on the side of the bed watching her every move.

"You are not going anywhere. I love you Hitomi. I need you in my life. You will stay with me. That's the way it should have been."

"No I won't! Soon he will come and find me. I know Van. He loves me. I know he will save me."

"Haha and how is he going to do that? He doesn't even know you are gone remember? He's away on business. To him, everything is going just fine."

Hitomi had just realized that. Her memory was still a little foggy but she was starting to put things together as time went by. She didn't know how she was going to get out of here so she prayed to the gods above for help. She needed to get away from this evil man who wanted to keep her all to himself.

"Look, you can't have me! I don't belong to you! I don't belong to anyone. I would like to know why you're acting so selfish. I don't understand why you want me here with you so badly and I still hardly remember who you are. I have things to do, places to be! Let me go, please!"

"Nope can't do that. Sorry hun."

"I am not your hun. I told you once before. I belong to Van and only Van and trust me, he will find me some way, some how."
