Here's Chapter 3. I stayed up until about 2:30am writing this Chapter for
all of you so please read, review and enjoy. Plus a bit of time to think of
what I was going to write. Disclaimer (again): Tenkuu no Escaflowne and
Visions of Escaflowne don't belong to me.

What happened in the last chapter:
Van and Allen both sighed. (The sigh Btw was for the fact that Millerna always wanted to correct what people say. If the peson didn't say it correctly, she gave them a look or glare.)
"What was that for?" asked Millerna.
"What was what for?" Van and Allen said at the same time.
"That sigh. I saw it so don't even try to deny it."
"Nothing."
"You two are very weird today. How come?" said Millerna.
Hitomi was listening from the stairs.
"It's just that we heard from some of the villagers that another war is going to come in about 6 months or so," Van said with another sigh.
Hitomi gasped which was heard a little by the four of them.
Chapter 3
"What was that sound and where did it come from?" asked Van.
'Uh oh,' thought Merle and Millerna as they gave each other a worried look. 'That, I'm guessing was Hitomi listening to what Van-san had just said about an upcoming war.'
"Uh that was nothing. Probably someone from outside," said Merle.
"No. I don't think so. I heard it come from upstairs," said Van getting up from his chair.
"Uh. Really? Are you sure it wasn't from downstairs?" asked Millerna, trying to block his path.
"I'm sure."
"I heard it come from upstairs too," said Allen. "Excuse us please Millerna- san. I think that we had better check the upstairs for any intruders. It could be a soldier, thief or something worse."
"No don't!" said Millerna in a panicky voice.
"Is there something wrong with your safety?" asked Allen.
"No. It's just that it's a huge mess up there. I was organizing the place by folding clothes and haven't finished yet. There are clothes everywhere. I just don't want you to trip and get hurt while you're up there. It's best to just stay down here. The person might go away on their own."
"Well we're not taking any chances at that. Besides, we're doing this for your safety," they both said and started walking towards the stairs. Hitomi heard what they were going to do and was leaning against the wall trying to take very small steps to her room while they were on their way. Millerna tried to block Allen's way to give Hitomi just enough time to get in her room and lock to door before it was too late. Millerna had the key with her. 'Uh oh. Hitomi's going to get discovered. Unless. That's it!'
"Could you please wait here for a minute? I'll just take a quick peek and see if there's anyone in there. If I'm sure that no one is in there, I will tell you and I'll even you take a look for yourselves."
"Fine. But be quick," said Van.
"I will be," she said and ran up the stairs. "I'll stay here and make sure that," Merle said as she looked at the boys, "they don't move."
"Okay Merle-chan. Thanks."
She quietly walked to the bedroom door and knocked quietly on it.
Hitomi remained silent.
"Hitomi-san? It's just me," whispered Millerna.
"Oh, Millerna-san. Thank goodness."
"I know of a way that you can escape without anyone seeing you," said Millerna.
"You do?" asked Hitomi. "How?"
"Well first unlock the door. I have the key so I'll just lock it again when you leave. I'll show you where the escape I know is located."
"Okay," said Hitomi as she unlocked the door. Millerna stepped in and removed a carpet that was in the closet. "Here it is. This passage way will take you to the basement. I suggest that you take your duffel bag with you because the boys will probably search the entire room. We both know that boys will do any thing to find something and that includes messing up the room."
Hitomi giggled and said, "That's true. Thanks Millerna-san." Hitomi quickly put the shoes into her duffel bag along with her photo and dress and started to crawl through the tunnel.
"I'll meet you there in a few minutes. Okay?" she asked as she opened the window. Then she scatered a few clothes onto the floor.
"Okay. Why are you opening the window and scattering clothes onto the floor?"
"Oh. Because I have a plan to get the boys out of the castle while I meet you down there. And I told them that the floor was covered in clothes because I was folding them. If they come in and find no clothes they'll get suspicious."
"Oh. Well. Good luck getting them out."
"Thanks," said Millerna and went back to the stairs.
Hitomi went down the tunnel. Millerna locked the door again. Then she walked to the stairs.
"What took you so long, Millerna-san?" asked Allen a little angry as Millerna came down the stairs.
"I was walking really slowly the way you taught me just incase anyone was there jumped out of the door and wanted to pounce on me."
"Good thinking Millerna-san. But it took you about 7 minutes to do that."
"Well I was a little bit afraid."
"Did you see anything or anyone while you were up there?"
"No. I don't think so anyways. It looked like whoever it was just somehow got out of the casle. But I did see the curtains blowing in the wind indicating that someone was there and they had left the window open."
"Oh. If the person did jump out the window or was walking sideways around the castle wall then he might still be there or nearby. Van-san, let's look around and see if he or she is still there. If he or she isn't we'll look around Austeria and make sure he or she is nowhere insight," Allen told Van.
"Okay. We'd better hurry. The person might even be a fast runner," Van agreed.
"Well we'd better be off. Thank-you for the tea Millerna-san," said Allen and he and Van ran out the door.
"See you soon you guys," she called. Then she thought in her head,'Yatta. My plan worked. Now I have to go and meet Hitomi-chan in the basement.' First she asked Merle if she would unlock the door to Hitomi's room. She did so.
Meanwhile in the basement Hitomi was looking at an old Guymelef that was leaned up against a wall and thought to herself, 'I wonder how long that has been there. And how old it is.'
A few minutes later Millerna and Merle came down the stairs to the basement.
"Hitomi-san? Where are you?" asked Millerna.
"Over here Millerna-san," she said.
They followed her voice and found her standing in front of the old Guymelef. Millerna got a little pale.
"Hi," said Hitomi when they found her. "May I ask a question?"
"Um sure," said Millerna still alittle pale.
"What is a Guymelef doing in your basement?"
'Well I- ." started Millerna.
Sorry guys. I'm stopping here for the moment. Next chapter coming up. This took me awhile because I couldn't get on the computer for the past few days. Antway I hope you enjoyed that chapter. More coming up. Will Hitomi find out why there was a Guymelef in Millerna's basement. And why has Millerna turned pale all of a sudden. Will she gain enough courage to tell Hitomi why it's there. Find out in chapter 4.
