Okay...Umm.... My last Chapter was an experiment and I was testing the
story maker for the first time...I know it didn't turn out perfect so don't
kill me yet. It IS gonna get better I just started so give me a break. Now
let me verify some things: 1: this is a V/H pairing. Two: I am going to
give you a bio of Sarah because I hardly described anything about her.
Name: Sarah Kataryn (cat-uh-Rene)
Age: (now...it's been three years): 20, since she was two years older than Van and Hitomi.
Status: The commander of the Clan of Forest Dragon knights, a Draconian Girl.
Weapon: Sword and Guymelef. (Duh! what did you expect? a ray gun?)
Guymelef's name(s): Angel, phoenix.
Physical description: Reddish earth brown hair with Gold, Ruby red eyes that sometimes seem purplish (But when mad they are red...REALLY red.) Taller than Hitomi, almost level with Van, but slightly taller...(By an inch or so...)
Attitude: Calm, rational, and occasionally fun. She loves the company of Van and Hitomi and sees them as younger siblings that she watches over. (And she did have feelings for Van but now only wants him to be happy with Hitomi.)
One last thing: WARNINGS: If you are a Folken lover.... You can read this...but this is after Hitomi left...and Hitomi watched Folken die.... Which means.... He isn't gonna be in this, save flashbacks. (Possible flash backs. I don't know if I'll have any of him.)
If you are a Dilandau lover...I want to be nice and Warn you that I myself am not gonna be that nice to dilly-boy and he...*Ahem* Might not come to a good end...I am debating that with MY other self right now.... I wanna warn you to go the extra mile and be kind enough to spare you.
Disclaimer thingy: *Gets Allen's talked about Cage in 22 (I think it was 22) and stuffs Hitomi inside*
Hitomi: HEY! Let me outta here!
Me: *Mumbles to self *: Allen was right about this one...OH! Hi...*Whistles.... Trying desperately to look like nothing happened *...What? Well... I wouldn't have to do this If they would just give me Escaflowne! Arg! Okay...I'll return her...Man! _
Chapter name: 2: Pain deep within
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Recap:
The dragon angrily tore through the sky as if somehow knowing that its master was in trouble. Hitomi could think of only one thing "Van I'm coming!" Hitomi shouted to the wind.
~~~~~~~~~~
They continued to shoot forward as Sarah gripped the controls and Hitomi hung on for dear life. Sarah smiled at Hitomi, hearing her words and seeing the determination in her eyes.
The Zaibach floating fortress came Closer and Closer and Sarah eased on the controls getting the white dragon to slow and then gently and quietly land. They were lucky that all the soldiers were away from that room except one, which Sarah Grabbed from behind and knocked out.
As they moved through the halls as quietly as cats Hitomi noticed even the walls themselves seem to groan with sorrow and yet hatred at the same time. They were cold as ice and were Made of steel as black as the midnight sky, when all light seems to lose hope and all cause of existence.
They continued making slow progress hoping not to run into any guards, but when they did, Sarah used her quick reflexes and made her face the only thing they saw before the inside of their eyelids, slumbering away.
Sarah seemed to look for something after knocking out guards. About the fourth guard that she knocked out, she found it. She held up a ring of keys to the dim light and they were marked "Jail keys" A smile formed across Sarah's face and she moved swifter than ever before.
Sarah went so fast that Hitomi had to sprint to catch up. Then Sarah became very solemn and she turned to Hitomi putting a finger to her lips meaning that they had to be extremely quiet now. Sarah led the way down the hall to a staircase and came to a steel gate. Sarah took the biggest key and tried it. It worked and they went through. A smile of relief crossed Sarah's face as she saw only one guard on duty.
*This will be easier than I thought. * Sarah said to herself. A soft thwack came out as Sarah hit the guard on his head with her sword hilt.
"Sweet dreams, It won't be pleasant when you wake-up though..." Sarah whispered with a smirk on her face and kept turning corners in the labyrinth that was the dungeon.
One door caught her eye suddenly it was written in Gaean writing so Hitomi couldn't read it and Sarah explained that it said "The King's holding place."
*Real smart Zaibach...I would have never has figured that one out... * Sarah thought sarcastically.
Hitomi in the mean time was growing extremely nervous as she thought about everything that was happening.
*And to top it off I am in the place that got destroyed because of me, and I am positive nobody here holds any warm happy feelings about me! * Hitomi thought. *Quiet! * Barked another voice in her head. *You are doing this for Van, remember? * And she instantly snapped to.
Hitomi heard the jangle of keys as Sarah tried every one and finally found the right one. Sarah opened the door slowly and grabbed Hitomi, leading her inside.
~@~@~@~@~
"Sir?" Said an unknown voice in the shadows.
"Yes? Are the experiments ready?" replied a hooded stranger.
"Yes sir! Ready and waiting!" replied the messenger.
"Very good, I will look into that later, you are dismissed." Replied Hood Dude.
"Sir! Yes sir!" The messenger returned to business.
"We will succeed, Zaibach shall reign!" Thundered the hooded man as he returned to darkness.
~@~@~@~@~
Hitomi found her self in a fairly large room at the top of a staircase of gray stone. The whole room was gray and cold, made of thick stone. She looked around the room and noticed the one thing wasn't gray...It was white!
Hitomi Squinted, but couldn't make it out...She went a few steps down and then recognized it instantly
...It was Van!
Those white things were his wings...She suddenly gasped, Van was in chains but that wasn't what surprised her...(I mean, it was a dungeon, after all.)
The thing that surprised Hitomi was he was covered with blood! He had it on his face, in his hair, his arms, it soaked his pants and even his wings...Those white, snowy, wings...were dripping blood...Hitomi looked in horror.
*Van! * She thought, with shining tears in her Emerald eyes.
(Now we switch to Sarah's POV)
Meanwhile Sarah had gone down the stairs and was making her way to Van. Suddenly Sarah realized that she couldn't hear footsteps behind her and looked up at Hitomi. Sarah saw the shining tears in Hitomi's eyes that threatened to fall and the pain in the depths of those eyes.
Sarah looked at Hitomi with a wave of sympathy realizing how the girl felt, for she felt it herself. *Poor Hitomi.... It must hurt her to see Van like this. *
Sarah turned back to Van and continued forward thinking, but now is not the time to stop. Sarah was right next to Van. At the sight of him, she winced. Ouch! Poor Van seems more appropriate! She stared at the bloody scares that came from torture, interrogation, beating and who knows what.
She started to unchain Van, when she noticed that Hitomi was still at the stairs. She wanted to let the girl be, but knew this was not the time.
"Hitomi!" She whispered as load as she dared to "Come down here and help me!"
Hitomi all but whimpering came down the stairs and grabbed a key. She looked at Van's faced and could barely hold back her tears.
Sarah at the time was thinking, *If only I could use my gift to heal Van...but then...* she thought. * I don't have the time to heal him and if I did, I don't have the energy...I get far too tired from healing and I have to make it out of here first! *
Sarah was recalling that she wanted to fall into sleep right here, and healing was not a good Idea at this time.
Hitomi had freed his feet and Sarah had freed his hands that hung above his head. Sarah hoisted Van on her back and thanked her stars she decided NOT to wear heavy armor on this trip. She sprinted out of the dungeon with Hitomi on her heels and breathed heavily from exhaustion. Hitomi's feet ached and she groaned at having to run.
Sarah turned to Hitomi and spoke "Hitomi! We need to take a shortcut through the labs, but the scientists are in there right now and we need to take utmost precaution...We can't be heard." Hitomi nodded and followed.
They crept behind desks and chairs to find suitable hiding spots and Sarah went ahead, setting Van down any chance she got. Sarah motioned to Hitomi to follow but she was afraid that she wouldn't make it without them hearing her.
"Hitomi come on!" Sarah mouthed.
"That's easy for you to say!" Hitomi mouthed back.
"Just go!" Sarah whispered.
And Hitomi sprinted over to the last stop before they reached the door and were out of this awful place, but she didn't make it. She toppled a table over and felt something sharp hit her in the back. All the scientists spun around to Hitomi, who had jumped up in fright.
Hitomi shot a "Hi there." nervous look.
*So much for sneaking to the door! * Thought Sarah angrily and shot Hitomi a glare.
Hitomi shrugged.
"Fine then! Don't anybody move! I swear if you move a muscle I will kill you all, nothing personal, I just wanna live." Sarah shouted to the scientists and they immediately became quiet and none moved an inch.
"Very good...I promise I won't hurt you if you comply."
And Sarah moved towards the door with her eyes to the scientists, before turning around and sprinting with everything she had left. They raced through the halls and sped into the hanger. Sarah handed Van over to Hitomi when they were on Escaflowne. Sarah gripped the controls and shoved off, the magnificent wings spread and glimmered white.
*Darn that Zaibach! But at least we're free. * Thought Sarah triumphantly.
At the same time Hitomi had Van's head cradled in her lap. *I'm back Van...I am finally back. *
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- No it's not over.... It's not time to stop already. I don't write stories THAT short. They ARE in the middle of a War. So I wanna clarify that. Please review! I'm am gonna need them and if you wanna hear what happens next sooner...Review! It'll solve anything! World hunger...okay...I'm going a bit far, but.. Ya know...
Btw I wanted to thank the other person who made this possible...One of the main Characters that I actually own! Sarah!
Sarah: Hi there! It's me......WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO AM I???? You are reading about me right now...That's better...I will continue to help my LESSER half on MY story.
Me: I HEARD THAT!!!
Bye! And review on your way out! ^_~
