Okay I'm not really sure about this chapter... I may have messed up the
story a little. Tell me what you think.
A girl with long sandy blond hair walked along the quiet streets. It was peaceful in the morning, but Hitomi didn't mind. The silence let her thoughts stray to a dark haired King. She pushed the thought away and instead chose to focus on something else, anything else. She found herself worrying about the doctor's appointment she had this morning. She had been feeling tired recently. So tired that she couldn't even practice with the track team during afternoon practices. Suddenly a sharp pain rippled through her and she muffled a cry of pain as she clutched her sides struggling for air. ..... "What's wrong with me?" was the question that pervaded her thoughts as the grayish color of the cement floor faded into darkness.
Van quickened his pace as he neared the throne room. Dryden had arrived only moments before saying that he had an urgent matter that needed to be discussed with the King immediately. Van wondered what could be so important as to induce Dryden to request a meeting on his birthday. Before the guards could even open the doors, A tall man burst from the room. Upon seeing Van, he grabbed his shoulders and pushed him inside the room. "Dryden........" As Van looked around he saw that the large table he used at meetings was filled with old papers and textbooks of varying shades of rusty browns and yellows. "What is this? What happened?" " Van I think you should read this" was the reply as a piece of worn parchment was waved in front of his face. Van carefully took the parchment and read, his heart pounding furiously in his chest.
When an angel arrives from a foreign land, the power of Atlantis will be revealed.
It will tie the life of its keeper to the land of Gaea, created by magic and sustained by the power of an angel's wish. With the penalty of death, a choice must be made. The choice to
Both men gasped as the rest of the words on the page started to fade. "Wait! Choice? What choice? It's disappearing!" "Look there's a footnote" As death prevails, these words will follow suit "Death???????. But the power of Atlantis has already been revealed and it wasn't revealed by an angel. It was revealed by......Hitomi....." "Exactly" "But it says... 'with the penalty of death' and 'as death prevails' ...wait what choice??? what does this mean???" "I'm not sure, but I think that somehow Hitomi is tied to this world and she ..."
"She what?" Dryden look sadly at Van as worry lines started to show on the young man's face. "She may be dying...."
"WHAT????!??!?" The young King shouted and started to sprint for the door.
"Wait. I'm not sure about this interpretation. She may not be....." One look at Van's face made the older man stop mid sentence. ".... and besides you don't even know how to get to the Mystic Moon"
Van stormed out of the room as he said " I'll find a way"
"This can't be happening. Just what am I supposed to do???" Van started to pace and this was how the young cat-woman found him four hours later.
"Lord Van! What's wrong with you? I haven't seen you pace since the great war"
Van sighed, "Merle...." The young cat-girl had grown. She was no longer the curious kitten that clung to Van. In her place stood a young woman, head held high with an elegance gained with age.
A giggle came from the doorway. "Mommy! Mommy! I found you!" Merle smiled. Although she was married and had children, sometimes the urge to play was overwhelming. At these times, she played hide and seek with her 4 year old daughter who she named after the only other friend she had besides Van: A girl with green eyes, a courageous soul, and the ability to see into the future.
"Merle! Hitomi!" a voice called from the doorway. All eyes were drawn to the tall figure in the doorway. He had cat ears and tufts of white fur coming from the sleeves of his jacket. For a second, Van thought back to a time when Merle wasn't married to one of his advisors and decided that she looked much happier as a wife and mother. "We'll talk later" Merle whispered as she was dragged off by her daughter and husband.
Van smiled for a moment and then hardened his eyes. I can't wait anymore. I'm going to bring her back here where I can keep an eye her and I'm going to do it right now!
Slowly her eyes opened to reveal a pair of emerald eyes dulled by pain and exhaustion. Where am I? Hitomi looked around the room to see spotless white walls and a simple wooden chair in the corner. "So your awake" came a voice from the doorway. A man dressed in a white doctor's coat walked in. " How are you feeling?"
She recognized his face immediately. He was the one she was on her way to see this morning. "I'm feeling fine Kazuki-sensei, but how did I get here?" "A man found you lying on the sidewalk this morning. You were unconscious so he brought you here. I ran some tests on you while you were sleeping and it seems that both your white blood cell and platelet counts are low and you don't seem to have enough sugar in your system. If you haven't been eating enough, that could account for the lack of sugar in your system, but I can't determine the cause of the low white blood cell and platelet count. I'll need to run a few more tests, but it almost seems like..... " "Like what?" "Like your body is shutting down...."
Van was pulling at his hair. "I have no idea how to get to the Mystic Moon!?!?!" He had tried using the pendant to bring him to the Mystic Moon all afternoon, but the jewel refused even to give off its usual pink glow. He had tried wishing with all his might. He had tried cursing, pleading. He had even tried to give the dumb stone a royal command, but nothing moved it to obey him.
He closed his eyes as tears started to slide down his cheeks. As they made contact with the pink Jewel, a pink glow started to surround Van. He opened his eyes and saw Hitomi on a white bed. She was deathly pale and for a terrifying moment, Van thought she wasn't breathing, but then he noticed the slight rise and fall of her chest. Suddenly he was back in his room again surrounded by the darkness of night. "Hitomi....."
