Chapter 12

Angel

I really should not have given into Van's pestering; now, he just stares at me, in disgust.

He thinks I should have killed Dilandau, but, me, killing?

No…than I would be as bad as my parents…

I sighed and looked up at the stars again from the balcony, it was great to sit on the railing, and take in the night's beauty,

but now, there were dark clouds swelling up, but it was not natural, I could tell.

Suddenly, I felt the darkness swell around me, I was pulled up to the storm, into the deep darkness,

that albino boy was there, he wrapped his arms around me again, I tried to pull away, and he let me go,

I fell, down into the abyss, but, there was a light, I saw an…an angel, it's white, feathery wings,

it flew down towards me, and picked me up in his arms, he had no shirt, I could not see the face…

He flew me back up to the balcony and lay me on the floor.

"Marina! Marina!" I heard Van call me, I opened my eyes,

"Van…" I said as I sat up, he gave a sigh of relief,

"What happened? Was it a vision?" he asked,

"Oh Van…Don't let them take me!!!" I said, I clutched at his shirt, he wrapped his arms around me,

"Who? Who is trying to take you?" the memory of raining blood came, and… and that man… and… and Folken…

 "Don't let them take me to Zaibach!" there was a crack of thunder, Van was seemingly stunned,

"I won't…I promise…" he whispered in my ear, I sighed,

"Thank you Van…"

"DO you think it will REALLY create one Van? DO you?" Merle tugged on Van's arm,

they were walking through the courtyard,

'Why does Merle being with Van effect you so much, Aurora?' my mind asked,

'I do not know…why do you-'

"Are you feeling better?" a smooth deep voice asked, definitely Allen,

"Yes Allen, why do you ask?" I turned around,

"I was slightly concerned about you screaming earlier, what happened?" he asked,

"I, am not entirely sure myself!" I smiled, so did he, he patted my shoulder,

"Just, be careful, ok?" he walked off, to wherever he had come from, I felt eyes on me,

I turned to find Van staring at me,  he didn't look to approving…

than he turned his head back to Merle, not skipping a single beat.

Van looked disgruntled as we ate, was it the weather?

No, not even the street dogs or alley cats are this disgruntled by storms.

"So…what did you talk about with Allen?" he asked,

Was he jealous?

No, jealous because someone talked to me? Never…no one could ever be jealous like that!

"Oh, nothing really important." I smiled, he looked slightly confused with in himself, "What's gotten under your skin?" Van blinked,

"Eh? Under my skin?" he checked his arms, legs, I laughed,

"I meant, what's bothering you? You look so…distracted!" he looked at me,

"Oh…uh, nothing" he blushed slightly, I raised an eyebrow,

but decided not to press the matter, it would probably make him mad. "I-I think I'll talk to Allen, about…about what we should do…in case there is an attack…yeah…" he got up, opened the door and left.

I sighed, that boy is so strange… I flopped onto my bed,

"How weird it has been today…"

Yes… I love the shortness… don't you? Hehehe… anyways, keep on reviewing!
