Chapter 3
Why not?
I felt warmth, as if someone was hugging me, it was comforting, unlike most warm things, mostly my own blood, what ever the warmth was it made me feel peaceful, and calm, some thing I haven't been for a long time. The warmth began to go, leaving me cold,
'Come back warmth!' I thought, I reached out, and felt warmth grabbing my arms, my eyes fluttered open. The warmth didn't need to come back…After I realised it had been Van, I blushed,
"Where's Escaflowne?" he asked, I realised how close he was to my face, only an inch away.
"Wha?" I blinked,
"Escaflowne, where is it? Since it isn't here…" his hair fell down and touched my face. He suddenly realised how close he was to me and blushed, shuffling back off of me, away from me.
"I don't know where Escaflowne is, why would you think I know?" my eyes pierced into his chestnut eyes,
"You were the one who sent us back to the mystic moon!" he yelled at me, I flinched, I tried to stand, but I must have hit my legs, and they would not support my weight. I used the sword I had found before to support me.
"We should…" 'no, not home, they would take him the wrong way, as they always take everything I do wrong,' "not, go to my house, I'll have to find you accommodation" his eyes flickered,
"Why not go to your house? Would they not be proud to have royalty in their home?" it was his turn for him to pierce me,
"NO!" I clamped my hands over my mouth, I bit my lip, hard, blood dripped down from my now pierced, lip, "I mean…I mean…my parents would freak, me having a boy over, they would…" I shuddered…
"Your family…they're the ones that punish you, aren't they?" his eyes showed true compassion, the pulled down my guard,
"y...Yes…" I admitted, "They think I'm the black sheep of the family…I…I try to be a good person, I don't smoke, take drugs…nothing like that at all, I try and help everyone that needs help.' I looked into his eyes, I felt my emotional control slipped for a second, I felt the tear slip out of my eye, Van's hand lightly touched my face and brushed the tear away.
"I'm…I'm sorry," my eyes widened, he's apologizing, for what? "I'm sorry, that there's nothing I can do to help you…" he clenched his fists and teeth.
"It's ok, no one has ever taken notice of my problems before, everyone who has noticed my wounds has said I'm weak, even though I carry them without any real complaint." I put my arm around his shoulder to comfort him. He looked into my eyes with surprise,
"Why don't they help you?" he asked, as if it were impossible for anyone not to help me,
"I do not know, probably because of the black sheep thing." I looked down at my clothes, and realised that I was not dressed well,
"Are ALL people on the Mystic Moon, so…so…incapable of compassion?" he asked me,
"Maybe, maybe not," I shrugged, he sighed, "I, think I'll get changed into some of my spare clothes, out of my sports gear, ok? Just wait here…" I ran off to the toilets, he sat down and lay back, I smiled, good. I won't have to worry about him for now.
I stepped out of the toilets, in my gothic sort of clothes, black combat boots, black pants, black shirt with, a picture of an angel on it, with the words, 'Never give up, never surrender.' I had my pendant on, and my leather bracelet, when I got back to Van, and he just stared. I had to lightly slap his cheek to get him back to his senses, he blushed, "So, do I look good?" I smiled,
"Yeah…what's with the Draconian on the front?" I blinked,
"A what? Oh, Draconian must be your word for Angel…" I presumed, he shrugged, than he smiled, maybe I can trust him, "Now…we'll have to get you some different clothes…" he backed away,
"Oh no…I'm just fine! There's nothing wrong with my clothes! They are perfectly fine!" he complained,
"Well, they would be, if you were at your home!" the blue light enveloped us again, Van's finger tips touched mine, before I passed out…
I'm getting good at cliffies! REVIEW!!!
