AN: Ok here's the next chap. This is the first chap with some action!^_^ Thanks agein for all the reviews!
Later that night Hitomi and Rinarel pulled into a parking space outside one of the city's larger parks. " Come on Hitomi, I want you to meet some people," He said as he got out.
As Hitomi did so, the feeling of unrest came back. Why? She had no idea, but there it was edging at her mind.
There were lights that lined a path through the park. Rinarel held Hitomi's hand firmly as they walked quickly and silently. A feeling of haste was apon them. There was no one walking the path and the night held no sounds. ' The quiet before the storm,' was the first thing to come to Hitomi's mind, ' only if I can't find shelter,' she added on.
It looked like she just might find shelter before the storm desended, there was nothing to say otherwise. No sign of someone folowing, or anything like that. That was the thing though. The escape had been too perfact. Since when had she herself not been in the eye of the storm? But this time she had warning. Inside though Hitomi felt the clouds closing in with every step.
Then sudanly they came to a clearing, The moon and stars shined brightly through the blue-black veil that was the sky. The area was filled with soldirs and two visible gymelfs.
The gymelfs! She knew that design! They didn't belong to Fanelia, or Asturia,. . . or Feid! But she knew them! They hanted her nightmares. . . the gymelfs belonged to Zaibach!
Hitomi pulled on Rinarel arm, he was pulling her tword them! But Rinarel's grip had tightened while they were moving. Now she couldn't get away!
Hitomi pulled against Rinarel then resorted to using the other hand. She felt her pendent glow against her chest. It's luminescence grew brighter and warmer untill it suddandanly rose from beneath her clothes and floated between Hitomi and Rinarel. They both stared at it as if in a trance. Then without warning it's soft glow burst it to a blinding light. Causing Rinarel to let Hitomi go to bring his hands in front of his eyes. Hitomi fell backwards stuned for a second before she regained her wits.
She took off runing back down the path. The pendant had caught the other soldiers' atention and she heard them not far behind. Along with loud curses that sounded like they came from Rinarel. Hitomi ran as fast as she could, she glanced over her shoulder to see where her presuers were. Then she hit something hard, and felt strong arms catch her before she fell. She looked forward to see a man in some kind of amor before her.
" Hey calm down," he said as he saw Hitomi's fear, " I'm here to help you."
Hitomi had heard enough of that for tonight, she planted her foot firmly in the man's shin. He was caught off guard and imeadity realsed Hitomi. She turned off the into the trees and bushes.
Then without warning a enormous explosin left Hitomi spraled without any knowlede of wich way was wich. She looked up to see an airship appear like heat waves. ' Dragon cloaks!' thought Hitomi. The airship had flames leaping from various areas. The flames seemed to lick the stars themselves. Hitomi sat there sprawed, staring in aw as the tremendous ship burned. It slowly decended tword her. Other sounds of fighting were everywhere.
" So, so, so, the little prophit Hitomi is more ingenious then I thought," Hitomi's head whiped to see Rinarel walking to her sword in hand. Hitomi backed up scared as her eyes met his. He was crazy, the eyes remined her of a mild Dilandau. He talked arrogantly as he came to her, " Or maybe she's just plain luckly," he said running his hand along his sword, " Well, it would seem your luck has run out. Or do you have another tick up your sleeve? Or even better a miracle?"
" Just one," said a voise behind Rinarel. He turned around shocked with his sword at ready waiting for a head on attack. It never came, instead as Rinarel turned around a figure shot an arrow in to his heart killing him instantly. He fell over on Hitomi dead.
Hitomi screamed, but quickly cupped her hands over her mouth. She shoved the lifeless body of Rinarel off her.
Then she saw who had shot him. The figure wore the shadows like a glove. The only facial feature discernible were the eyes, but only because the light of the fire on the airship was reflecting in them. The figure was much less broad and shorter than Rinarel had been. A sword was unmistakeable lying on the figure's hip as well as what looked like a crossbow attached to the figure's arm.
Hitomi narrowed her eyes trying to peirse the shadows, but another explotion quickly brought her back to reality. Hitomi looked up to find the burning sckeleton of the airship heading staight twords her.
Suddanly Hitomi was pulled from the ground and run into the trees trying to escape the inferno that had once been a ship. Hitomi's mind was numb as she watched what was left of the ship crash into the ground. Then Hitomi passed out as the figure draged her through the park.
