*********************************************
Hitomi woke with a heavy groan, feeling groggy her whole body feeling numb "Why didn't I die?' she thought sadly. At least she be away from this godforsaken place once and for all. Her eyes trailed down and widen; she was covered in makeshift bandages, much to her surprise.
"What?" She thought, the bandages were stain with her blood but was thick enough to actually stop the bleeding "No wonder I didn't die, someone saved me, but who?" she spoke to herself it seem that someone had a conscience on this battleship, but who?
"I see you're all right"
Hitomi look behind her and saw a tall man with large bangs staring back "Looks like you survive after all" he spoke to her again. Before Hitomi could ask Gatty shook his head "It wasn't me, it was a friend of mine, he couldn't let you die for some reason?" he spoke cautiously, he knew Chesta would be charge for treason for this. "Can you tell me your friends name?" she asks hopefully "I'm sorry but if I do that, he's good as dead" he answered.
"Can you at least tell him thank you for me?"
"....Yes..." he then stop when he heard footsteps clacking "Shit, it's the interrogators" he thought and quickly saluted them "We've come to interrogate the girl again" one of them spoke and Hitomi's face paled along with Gatty's "Again" he ask a bit shock and they nodded.
"Yes we still believe she's hiding something from us" one of them added with a sadistic smile which made Gatty cringe "Freaks" he thought disgusted he couldn't find a way to salvage this poor girl; he knew that anyone interrogated was half dead or their spirit completely broken, and for women, it was much worse.
"I ALREADY TOLD YOU I KNOW NOTHING!!" Hitomi screamed at them. "Open the gate" one of them commanded Gatty had no choice but to follow his superiors orders "I'm sorry" he mouthed to Hitomi and she felt her heart stop. "What? Who bandaged her? Was it you?" one of them commanded to Gatty.
"I do not know. Perhaps it was one of the surgeons, you know to preserve her for future uses" he quickly said "Let them buy it, let them buy it," he thought. They just snorted in reply and grabbed Hitomi "NO!!" she screamed and begin a struggle "SHUT-UP"
SMACK!!
Hitomi was quickly silence and Gatty close his eyes; he couldn't bear to see the poor girl taken to possible death again.
"Gatty"
"Gatty gulp at the sound of his voice "C-Chesta" he stuttered and saw the short slayer run to him "How is she?" he ask anxious, Gatty couldn't answer "She didn't die did she?' he ask a hint of fear in his voice but Gatty shook his head. "So she's all right then" he spoke relieve and look in the cell; he saw nothing.
"I'm sorry Chesta, the interrogators." he began. Chesta stared at the ground "I'm a monster.." he said to Gatty "What do you men?" he demanded.
"I just prolonged her torture, her pain, I should have left her to die and know peace," he explain. "Chesta." Gatty began placing his hand on Chesta's shoulder "I'm horrible"
"She said thank you"
"What"
"She said thank you, Chesta"
"......."
"LET ME GO" Hitomi pleaded with and they just smirk in reply "We know your hiding something, we just have to use new means to find out." Hitomi's heart stop when she heard this and she found herself in a brightly lit room and in the middle what seem to look like a operating table tanding upwards she began to tremble as she saw along side tools; painful ones at that. They laid her against the table, strapping her in place; the light hurt her eyes and made her uncomfortable.
"Please, I don't know anything" she tried to reason but they only ignore it they were too interested to play their sadistic games she closed her eyes, preparing for the worst.
"D-Dilandau-sama!" She heard one of them cried out. She open one of her eyes to see who it was and her mouth gap "It's the guy who tried to kill Van" she thought now petrified. The silver hair albino walk towards her and expected her condition, Hitomi could only just look at him in total fear.
"She was with the dragon?" he spoke and the interrogators nodded their heads. He move closer to her and Hitomi's heart to begin to beat wildly Dilandau smiled at her "I could smell your fear you know?' He said to her coming closer. "N-No" she began which made Dilandau grin he then begin to stroke her face "Such a beautiful face, no blemishes, no scars on that skin of your.." His eyes then begin to turn wild and he stroke her left cheek, his index finger going over the bandaged wound "my perfection...was ruin..." he spoke and his body pressed against hers Hitomi cried out in resistance.
"Lose any hope that dragon will come to rescue you, and that whore for a knight, they left you, and you're all mine now" he stated and then pressed his lips against her, forcing her mouth open Hitomi tried to fight back but the straps prevented her from moving she tried to scream out but that just allowed his tongue in for easy access. He explored her mouth licking the roof and wrapping his tongue against hers he finally pulled away licking his lips while she stared back gasping her air.
"Gentlemen, I will aide you in her interrogation" Dilandau said with a predatory glint in his eye "hai, Dilandau-sama" they answered. Dilandau stroke her hair then her cheek "We will have so much fun my little prisoner" he answers in a gleeful, sadistic voice.
Hitomi couldn't breathe
***********************************************
"LET ME OUT DAMN IT!!!" Van roared out shaking the bars as hard as he could he began saying obscenities that would make his dead mother be ashamed of him. "Calm down, king, this is for your own good" Gaddes tried to reason with him but Van only ignored him.
"MY OWN GOOD!! WHILE YOU KEEP ME CAPTIVE HITOMI IS IN DANGER!! HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THAT?!!" He retorted. Gaddess sighed at this he had to admit he too didn't want to leave her behind but it was Allens orders, and he was only second in command what could he do? "Gaddess, please let me out, help me save her" Van pleaded his amber eyes glowing intensely. "Allen, is devising a plan this very moment, to try to get her, but he is right Van, all prisoners of Zaibach end up dead" he spoke and flinch at this, he himself was one of the few survivors and he had the scars to prove it.
"No, She won't die, Hitomi's strong, she won't die, someone is always watching her, it may not be me, but someone, I know he'll do everything he can to keep her safe" he reason to him. Gaddess rubbed the back of his head seeing the king like this hit's a nerve; having to lose his friend like that.
"Tell you what, I'll talk to Allen, and try to convince him" Gaddess bargain and immediately saw the kings eye's light up with a flicker of hope. "You will?" he ask frantically and Gaddess nodded "Of course, we don't leave our men behind and in this case a girl, I'll talk to him right now"
"Good, go, NOW!!" Van urge and Gaddes went with much haste "Van-sama, you don't really believe him, do you?" Merle ask "He may be the only one that can convince Allen to save Hitomi" he answer and Merle growled.
"Van-sama, it may be too late, she may be--" she stop and saw ferocity in his solemn amber eyes "She will make it. Someone is watching over her, I have a feeling, he won't let her die" Van reason and anxiously awaited for goddess's return he closed his eyes and gripped the bars tightly remembering how they first met. She was a strange girl, hair like a boys but he sense an aura around her, it made him feel something he hadn't felt in a long time, trust. "She has saved my life many times all ready, Hitomi, please, stay strong, I'll come for you, please Hitomi, don't die, I'll come for you.." he thought as hard as he could in an attempt to reach her somehow.
"Van-sama..."
"I'll come for you...Hitomi"
Hitomi's suddenly open her eyes ignoring the bright light "Van" she spoke out . The interrogators and Dilandau stop what they were doing and stared at her. Hitomi found herself smiling "He'll come for me, Van will come" she spoke not caring if they heard her, her friend would come rescue her, she heard him reach out to her.
"What makes you say that" Dilandau challenge "I told you, they won't come back for you" he snarled and shoved a needle through her arm which made her cry out "I heard him..that's why" she spoke fiercely her courage was returning every moment.
"I won't allow myself to be killed, I was stupid before to think that, but it's clear now, I won't, I won't let give in, not matter much pain you out me through" she spoke defiantly she never felt so brave before. Dilandau growl at this "SHUT-UP" he shouted and slap her. Hitomi ignored the pain on her cheek and look at Dilandau she had no hate, or anger in her eyes she just look into his own garnet eyes.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
".........."
"Stop it, stop staring at me like that"
".........."
"I SAID STOP IT" He scream and plunged the needle again, this time on her torso and Hiotmi stifled a sob Dilandau frown at her "I don't need to remind you, what position you're in, girl" he stated.
"That is enough" a voice spoke and Dilandau turned around "Mind your business, Folken," he snapped at him. The strategos walk towards them, no emotion written on his and he look at the girl "Return her to her cell" he commanded while the interrogators look at him puzzled.
"But Folken-sama, she was with the dragon." one of them began. Folken to his hand out to motion to them to shut-up "Will you disobey a superior officers orders" he threatened and heard them they say sorry in unison Hitomi was in a daze from the torture they put her through she could barely keep her head up, she felt so dizzy "The needles were probably poison" she thought to her as they took down. As they dragged her away she glance up at the man in the black cloak and he look back "I saw him give Van, his sword" she thought.
Chesta waited by the cell half of the day, he had nothing else to do so he took all three guardsmen shifts "Kasaan" he whispered it was why he helped her was it? He couldn't help his mother but he could help her, but did he really? "Is she even alive?" he thought grimly.
"Open the gate"
Chesta broke from his thoughts and the interrogators his eyes widen when he saw the knock out girl they dragged with them. He quickly opened the gate and they threw her in "Is she dead?" he couldn't help but ask they shook he head "No, Folken-sama stop us from enjoying the real fun" they stated and left. Chesta immediately enter the cell and examine the girl he cringe at the new marking they made on her and notice slight bruising on her arms and part of her torso. He felt her fore head; it was extremely hot "poison" he thought to himself and hesitated should he help her? If he did he would only prolonged her pain more wasn't better to let her know peace.
"Onegai..please don't let me die," she whispered to him and Chesta look at her n surprise. "Why? Don't you it to end?" He ask and she shook her head "At first yes, but, my friend needs me, I refuse to die but, I may not be strong enough...too survive the poison..please, help me..live"
Chesta clench his eyes should he? He was in trouble all ready but could he prolong more pain for her? His thoughts went back to his slaughtered family, the people he loved dearly and in the end, and he couldn't save them.
"But I can save someone this time, I can" he thought determined he stood up "I'll be back" he told her and ran out the cell locking it he ran to his room and busted open the door. He frantically look through his drawers.
"Damn, where is it, I always have some with me" he growled and finally found it, it was a plant that could neutralize most poisons "yes" he exclaimed he grabbed a near by bowl and begin to crush it with the sheath of his sword.
"I feel so weak" Hitomi thought to herself waiting was making her sleepy she had no idea how long she could fight it "I have to live, for Van" she thought. She heard the gate open and saw the boy holding the bowl. He kneeled down and laid her head on his lap "Drink" he urged putting the bowl on her mouth Hitomi slowly drank the brackish liquid, forcing her self to swallow it. She begin to cough and Chest stroke her back.
"Don't worry, you'll be alright now" he assured. Hitomi look at the boy who aided her "Who are you?' she ask. Chesta look at hesitantly "I am Chesta" he spoke shyly to her; Hitomi smiled at him "My name's Hitomi" she answered back.
