Ya so I don't own this or any of the characters except the ones I made up.
So on and so forth, ya.
Chapter 2
"What do you want with me?" Hitomi yelled as the Doppelganger's surrounded her, "I didn't do anything," she screamed tears of anger, fear, and frustration streaming down her face.
"Our brother Zongi is dead because of you," they said in unison.
"Who?" Hitomi asked and looked between the two. She didn't understand what was going on.
"He died because of you," they said coming closer.
She didn't really care.
"Do you know how many people have died because of me?" she yelled not caring who she was talking to anymore, "do you know how much of me is dead already?"
The two Doppelganger's looked at her and began to back away. They didn't understand what the girl was doing. They hadn't been prepared for her to react in such a way.
Looking at each other they spoke in hushed voices, "What do we do now?" they asked and looked back at Hitomi who stood still the entire time, tears still running down her face.
"We might as well just take her with us. She would be a great power to us," one said to the other.
"Fine. Your coming with us," The larger Doppelganger of the two said to Hitomi.
She looked at them hurt, and wanting to scream, but she didn't have enough energy to scream any more. Her world had been deteriorating since she had returned three years ago. Her mother had been killed in a car crash, her father had gone into a state of depression because of this, and had taken a job across sea's. He said he couldn't be in the house with out his wife to greet him like she had done since they were married, so her little brother was sent to live with their aunt and uncle across town while Hitomi staid in the empty house by herself. She couldn't leave what had been so long apart of her, she couldn't leave they only thing left of her family.
"Fine," she said spite dripping through her voice knowing that there was no reason to stay around here anymore. If any thing she would be killed, and she welcomed that more then not having anything to live for, or care about.
"Wish it child, we'll be gone and you'll come with us."
Holding on to the pendant Hitomi muttered under her breath a wish. That she would be gone from this place and to another where for some reason some one wanted her.
The entire store was collected in light and like a bolt of lighting was one minute there and then the next gone.

"Van what is wrong?" Allen asked looking at the young king that sat at his desk scanning over his maps again.
"Nothing," he replied sharply, and returned his attention back to the well-marked maps.
"Then why were you so callous with Merle?" Allen asked, "You have nothing to worry about Fanelia is the strongest holding land. You should take break, if Balgus were alive he would tell you the same thing. A King has to be like his kingdom, and where your kingdom is safe and happy, you suspect everyone," the Knight Caeli said and walked out of the study.
There was a moment of silence before Van violently throwing his arms across the desk causing the maps to flutter into the air and for everything else to clatter to the floor. Anger raised in him and frustration over what had been said in the past few days.
He was a king, plain and simple. He needed to watch over his people and his lands, no one else was going to.
With taking defeat he rested his head on the desk wondering what to do. It had been so long since he had wanted to do anything just for himself. When thinking of something to do, he couldn't help but block it out right of the way by thinking of what other people would think.
"I can do nothing but be a king," he said accepting the defeat.
"Sir?" a voice asked from out side the door.
"Come in," Van said and walked out from behind the desk to greet the messenger at the door.
The young boy walked in carrying a letter, "King van," he said looking excited but worried, "This letter comes from Princess Eries of Asturia," he said handing over the letter that held the Asturian seal. "King Van," the boy continued to speak even though his job was done, "the people are saying that early this morning a pillar of light touched down just out side of Palas."
Van looked startled at the boy and then gently dismissed him. Even if there was news that a pillar of light dropping down there was no reason it should be Hitomi. She had gone back to the Mystic moon, why would she want to come back to Gaea.
Dear King Van de Fanel of Fanelia
I write to you a mile out side of Palas. This letter is in
regard of a pillar of light touching down just outside our borders.
This light brought with it guests from the Mystic Moon, each
containing a pendant like that of Lady Hitomi's. The council of
Asturia would like in regard your opinion of what to do about these
matters. Within a days time they will be brought to the Palace of
Fanelia. My family sends you their regards, and my sister and I will
see you in a day's time.
Sincerely
Princess Eries Aria Aston of Asturia

"Sister where do you think we are?" Alex asked looking over to Cassandra.
"I'm not sure," the other one whispered back.
Within minutes of them touching down on this land people had been around them. But there was a woman dressed in very fine cloths that was addressing and ordering them all.
The twins sat next to each other in a horse drawn carriage. The land was like the West Coast on a nice day. Lush green grass following to the oceans edge, but protected by the mountains. It almost made them want to think that it was Vancouver, but the dress of these people, and the animals pulling the cart said otherwise.
"We will be arriving at the palace soon," the woman said sitting opposite of them.
The twins remained silent. They understood the woman's words, but they had no wish to speak until they found a good standing ground. The ride continued until the carriage pulled up to the palace gates.
The building was amazing, but the twins could still not shake the feeling that a great magic dwelt in these lands, untamed magic.

Artimus laid on the ground of a forest looking through the tree's at the sun that tried to break through the green canopy.
"Where am I?' he asked rolling over.
"Why in Gaea," an elderly but squeaky voice said rather profoundly.
"Where," Artimus asked raising his head allowing his eye's to adjust to the sun.
"We'll really we are in a forest. No quite sure which one though. Doesn't matter though."
Alex looked at the man and the camp set up around him. I wasn't really a camp, and he didn't think what he was looking at was really a man.
"Coffee?" Artimus asked.
The man looked at him puzzled, "So then I take it your not from around here."
"I wouldn't know," Alex said grumbling and sat up.
His pants pockets had been turned inside out and he didn't feel wallet in his back pocket.
"Alright creep where is my stuff?"
"The young gentleman is very angry when waking up,' the man said and laughed.
"Give me back my stuff you creep," Artimus repeated and hit the man in the side of the head.
"Alright, alright. I don't need your stuff anyway, funny looking and all. No one around here would by it," the man said and threw back all of Artimus's belongings.
The two sat the rest of the morning looking at each other. Artimus didn't know where he was but he couldn't smell the ocean, which meant he wasn't in Salem any more. But that didn't explain how he had gotten here and where he was, and what the thing was looking back at him.
"So we must go now," the man said and packed up his stuff.
The sudden decision as to where they were going to go and what they were going to do puzzled Artimus.
"So where are we going?"
"To see Lord Van. He will be interested to know another has traveled from the mystic moon.
"The what?" Artimus asked but could not be answer for the man took and he could do nothing but follow and hope that that lord guy know what was going on.

"Hello?" Nathaniel yelled as he stood up from where he had landed. He didn't know what was going on or where he was. Back home he had heard stories of fairy gifts and what they could do but her never believed it. He looked around realizing that there was no longer snow on the ground and that a breeze blew through dark lush green trees.
Mindlessly he walked through the forest not understanding where he was or how he had gotten there. He felt out of place as he ordered one foot after the other to move on the giving forest ground.
"Hello? Is any one there?" He yelled but only heard
his voice drown in the sounds of the forest.
It was somewhat reassuring that he could hear birds chirping, but it wasn't enough to make him feel like he was out of harms way. Almost as if at any moment he could walk into a trap, or find himself staring face to face with a wild animal. He quickened his pace, telling himself that if anything was following him he could handle it, and that if he were to run into anything then he could get away.
Suddenly his heart stopped and for a moment he felt out of control. His body tilted forward and he threw his arms out in the air feeling his feet slipping from under him. Suddenly his flailing hand found a tree branch. Quickly he pulled his body back on the flat ground. A sigh of relief escapade his lips and he smiled and shock his head.
"Should learn to watch where I'm going,' he said laughing as he continued to walk along the edge, "should be more quicker then that. Almost walking off a ledge, that brains for you. Just about as stupid as walking into.........," Just as he was about to utter his contradictory words he smacked his head into a tree and went barreling down the hill he had almost fallen down before.
Soon the grass left him and he continued to roll onto a dirt road.
"Awwwwwwwwwww," Nathaniel said looking up into the sky, "I think I want to go home now.
Laying on the ground he could hear the sound of something coming. Standing up he brushed himself off and looked to in front of him. There was nothing, so where could to be coming from?
Turning around he saw a large buffalo type creature running towards him. Scared out of his mind he couldn't move, all he could hear were the mumbles of someone telling him tog e tout of the way. The animal quickly slowed down and barley stopped in front of Nathaniel that looked wide at it.
Suddenly there was a crashing noise accompanied by screams.
Alex and Cassandra climbed out of the carriage and walked over to Nathaniel who still stood staring at the animal.
"What is your problem?" they both yelled at him.
His head snapped over in their direction.
"What?" he asked looking around and realized that the back wheel had slipped off and that the cart lay teetering on one side.
"Why didn't you move/" Alex asked snapping at Nathaniel.
"I'm sorry," he said, his Irish accent becoming apparent, "I'm just a little lost at the moment, and I have no idea where I am. And well at my house snowing, and here it's not."
"Where are you from?" Cassandra asked.
Princess Eries walked up behind the girls and listened to the conversation.
"I live in Ireland, but I know this isn't Ireland," he said and looked around.
"So you from earth then," Cassandra said more to herself then asking him, "how did you get here?"
"Like I know. I was walking on my family estate, and in the brook I saw this thing glint under the ice so I got it, and then I was here," he said notice that the necklace was wrapped around his wrist.
Cassandra and Alex looked at one another. It wasn't entirely impossible that this boy could have gotten here. I was just odd that he had, and rather coincidental that they had all met. What did it mean?
