A.N: It's written in past and present tense. Hehe sorry, can't help it.
Hitomi let her legs carry her. And they did. They carried her far, and they carried her fast..yet not fast enough. Amano seemed ages away. The faster she seemed to run, the further he got. The pendent swung. Slowly, yet not slowly enough. One, two, three. (Faster) Four, five, six. (FASTER, Hitomi! Faster!)
Seven.
A boy charges a dragon.
Eight.
As the boy runs, a blue light emits from the heavens and surronds him. The girls legs get heavier.((whyishesofar?))
Nine.
The boy is confused and swept into the air, all within a seconds time. Blink. There's a second of your life.
Ten.
He's between Earth and his home. The stars swirl. Because a second is just a blink. She's so close .So close. Closer. Almost there...
Eleven.
He's coming down now. It seems a bit to fast for all of it, but he's not ill. He doesn't get motion sickness. He's strong. She runs, panting.
Twelve.
He lands, his eyes full of suprise as a figure runs at him. Or into him.
--------------------------------------------Episode Two: The Dragons Heart-----------------------------------------------
[Scene II]
It only takes him a second to stop the figure. She clumsily can't stop gravity or force and her body impacts with his. First contact. The force of the push makes her stumble backwards and onto her butt.
Thirteen. No kiss. Instead, Hitomi runs into a boy who had descended from above. She fell over with the grace of a descarded toy that a child has tossed aside once its lost its' charm. Her legs intertwine with one another, and her elbows are the only thing that keeps the upper part of her body up. Her gaze shifted upward at him- him! The boy from her, well, dream. Her vision! He scowled at her, causing her to look slightly abashed. He stares at her. Enternity passes by before Amano and Yukari run to help their friend to her feet. A stumble and a stance later, she's up and poised like a cat, staring intently at the prey.
The boy. His green shirt threw her off. She thought of him as more of a red person, rather than green. Green was the color of her eyes. -Her- not -him-. He, who was decorated for battle, and from another world. Two seconds go by. Blink twice. Or breath. Two seconds, but feels like forever.
"You..." Hitomi murmured, her voice two decibles up from a whisper. He took a step back and let his surrondings come into focus. Those lights! Such bright candles. No, candles could never show such magnifigence. What magic was this? What trickery was these demons playing at? The ground- a substance that he's never felt before. Hard, but bouncy. What was this place? Damn. Who were these people? They didn't look like royalty- or a match for him.
"Hitomi! Are you okay?" Yukari examined her friend. She looked alright, apart from her gawking at this boy. This boy who had fallen from the sky- enveloped in a strange, bluish light, who now stood before them. He was no angel. Angels were beautiful, and didn't scowl or scorn at humans. No, no. This boy was human. Just. Like. Them.
"Who are -you-?" Amano sneered, his voice dripping with venom for harming his Hitomi. The conversation bounced back between three different topics. Hitomi let her eyes linger on the long, silver blade that rested in his hand. That same blade to capture the light and slice through her thoughts.
"What demonry is going on here? Where am I?" The boy demanded, his face contorting into a fierce smirk. Hitomi thought he would be more attractive if he wasn't so grim. She took a step foward and grapsed her necklace in both hands, her legs bending in to support her as she leans in closer to him. Yukari, scared, gripped one of her arms and retreats behind her.
"Hey, listen. We're not from your world." The brown-haired girl explains. He turns his attention to her, making her cower before him. Before his smarmy comments- his quick wit (and even quicker temper). Before his brown, red, ohgodthey'resobeautiful eyes, that seek answers only she seems to know. But his mouth..it's plastered on his face- a dark, morbid scowl that sent shivers up your back. But she didn't look at his mouth- but instead- his eyes. Soulful eyes. Look at me eyes that demanded your attention. His soft, black hair that fell in front of his eyes. His face falters for a second, and only a second. Only for her. She stared at him like no other had before. Courage to talk back. Green, gorgeous, eyes. Soft, hair. Who?
"Hitomi..do you know what he's talking about?" Yukari mutters, only for Hitomi's ears. She was scared of him, that much was sure. Yukaris legs tremble, and it's hard for her to stand. Her friends bag swung caresly over her shoulder. It weighs her down. Hitomi makes a movement with her hand to silence Yukari. So silence is pressed on Yukaris lips.
"And just who are YOU?" Amano speaks up. He demands that the boy answer him with that sort of tone. The sulky warrior turns his attention back to this..this... peon. Insolent fool. Moron. Carries himself like royalty, but he's just trash. Van, as we the audience know him as, turns his nose up in the air (as royalty pride themselves on their names).
"Van. Of Fanalia." Though it's no directed at Amano, who asked his attention. ..Fanalia..? That's not a place. That sounds made up, Hitomi thought. "It's coming."
"What's coming?" Hitomi takes a deep breath in, and summons to courage to ask. He crouches slightly, and brings the sword in front of him- gripping it with two hands. Don't loose your grip, Van. Don't show fear- dragons smell fear..dragon? Two deep breaths. He grips the sword, and it gives a soft squeak as leather meets leather.
"The dragon." Van said. It wasn't much of a whisper, as his voice was a bit to loud. Her, Hitomi, eyes flash with fear, and than uncertainty. Amano reads her mind.
"There aren't any dragons." He states (matter-of-factly might I add). Van shoots daggers at him with those I-want-to-drown-in-your-eyes eyes, and Amanos confidence falters. No such thing as dragons. Mental!
"I suggest you get out of here." Van directs at them, "Unless of course you want to be eaten by a dragon."
"Hitomi?" Yukari places a hand on her back. Hitomi clamps a hand over her mouth and hunches over. She feels as if she has to vomit. Her stomach clenches and unclenches, tightens, then throbs. Oh god, oh god. I'm going to be sick. Oh god, what's this feeling? It dangles in her throat and threatens to come out. Her eyes shake with sickness, and her knees now touch in her stance. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know but I feel really, really sick." The girl replies through clenched teeth. The sky darkened. No clouds. The stars run away, and the blackness takes hold of them. Theres a crash in the distance. Funny, the weather didn't call for rain. Another clash. Van licks his teeth, feeling the smoothness and sharpness of the bone, and raises his hand.
"Go! Now!" He yells. No use getting more people killed tonight. -Especially her, right Van? Right?- Oh shut up, coincess. A mist drags through the forest on the other side of the stadiums gate. -Nervous, Fanalia?- Shut it. This mist isn't normal. It's like electricity. They can see the sharp pricks of lightning scatter through it. It turns blue.
"Not again!" Never heed warnings, do you teenagers? Amano staggers back, placing a protective arm in front of Yukari and Hitomi. They can't help but stare. It's like a train accident. You know something horrible has happened, but you're so drawn to it you stare. Fixated. One of them: Eyes tremble. The other: Scared to death. The last: Intriguid, yet sick. So very sick. This isn't right. Something isn't right.
Boom.
A yell. A scream. It echos in your ears and sounds like a thousand cats dying, meowing in sync. Throbbing. If death had sound, this -was it even a scream?- would sound like it. It paralyzes you with fear, and you just stand there, expecting death. Waiting for it to scream again.
Thrash.
Red eyes glow. No, yellow eyes. Gleaming, reptile eyes. If you weren't paralyzed before, you are now. It blinked. Take note- only the lower eyelid moves up. Through the mist, it watches. Hitomi takes a glance at Van, who grips his sword. -Is he a demon? Where did he come from? Why isn't he afraid?-
Thrashing again.
A long head appears as lightning charges through the air. (Ohgodohgodohgodohgoddontletmedieohgodohgod). One thought on the three students minds- Why won't their legs work? It takes a step. It's like a huge lizard, but isn't that what all dragons are? The scales are grayish green, and you can see the roughness to them.
"GO. NOW." Van yells again. Right. C'mon legs. They start to run, attracting the dragons attention. Their figures in its..red (or was it yellow) eyes. In anger, its claws dig into the track while its tail thrashes about. "Hey! You're fighting me remember?"
So brave. So damn brave. Amano hates heroes. It makes him look bad. Van thrusted his arms out, like a hug- or a display. For an instant, the dragon (lets call him "fluffy"..What? I was just kidding), turned its attention back to the raven-haired hero. "Well, you're hungry aren'tya? Well feast on this!!!" One thought: let it work, let it work..for all the stars by Gaea- LET IT WORK. So maybe for a minute, the dragon thinks, 'lemme fry this sucka and chase after the others', and spits fire at Van. Its hot, and nearly melts his sheild, which seemed to appear from that metal thing attached to his arm. (Walmart: $20) Van dodges out of the way, tucked, rolled and jumps back up. Van went for another attack. Fear makes you mental, and right now, you'd be insane.
It's not interested the second time. Instead, it staggered towards the three tasty little morsals that are running away. Hop, skip, hop, skip.
They ran. Yukari, being the slowest and least athletic of the three, fell over. "Damn!" The other two run back to her. Amano crouched and inspected the injury.
"Looks like it's twisted. Here, get on my back." He turns his back, and she dangled her arms around his neck. He used his hands to support her, and Hitomi took the bag. They ran faster now, to make up for lost time. Across the street is a path through a semi-thick forest. Hitomi is in the lead, Amano at her heels. Her arm swung back and forth, eyes full of fear, and pupils large. So dark. Where do these steps lead? At the end of the path is a couple of buildings, and even more steps up the hill. They stop to take a breath. "We'll be safe here."
"I hope so." Yukari mutters, a voice not her own creeps out of her throat. However, they don't know of a Van who stabs the dragon with a hook, and now is dangling from the side of it- bouncing down the thin corridor in the forest. It screams, catching their attention.
Death. He's going to die.
(A/n: I didn't feel like writing anymore at the moment..maybe get back to HP, but hey I decided "lets give this out as of right now", and you know probably get back into the groove in a couple of days. Taking me forever, isn't it? Haven't even finished all of the chapters, but more to read the merrier, ne? Go and tell your friends. I like reviews. Never really gotten 'em before. )
