The Sorrows from Within
~* Authors Note*~
Thank you all for choosing my fic for your next reading endeavor. Also thank you all for reading it at all, and letting me know what you think. I know my last couple of chapters I've written were short and left you all hanging wondering what's going to happen. Well here's another chapter to give you a little bit more explanation and I hope it helps and urges you to read on.
I have a announcement to make.... I reached my goal.. YAY!!!!!!!! However now I must make a new goal for myself, so im also telling everyone that my new goal is 150 reviews.... and im at a immense 101 reviews... well please R&R and let me know what you think. I hope ya'll like my story, I've been working on it for a while and I Hope I can finish it and let ya'll know what happens. Also.. yet again i am grounded.. so there may be a significant amount of time between chapters.. but I hope this wont discourage you from keeping up with the new chapters..... well just thought I would let you know. On with the story.
Also the thought sprung in my mind that i should tell you since Im to brain dead to know why my computer wont use italics that i should tell you what is thoughts and what is actually being said. Well when a sentence is being said it will have These-- " " and when it is just a thought it will have these--- ' ' .... So I guess that might clear a little bit up for you if you were confused over anything like that... well I'll get back to the story.
~* Review from last chapter*~
Van just stood there and held her. No words were spoken and there feelings were exchanged, and they knew how each other felt, and both wished that they could see one another again, even for a fraction of a day.
" I will see you again, and I will do anything in my power to bring you back. And Hitomi Kansaki, you have my word on my honor as a king of Fanalia, that i will bring you back." Van spoke with determination, and strive. Hitomi could see the truthfulness in his eyes and she would go through anything to be with him, one last time.
" Van promise me one thing, that you wont use Escaflowne to do it?" Hitomi needed to know what she could trust Van with this small small to the eye task, yet it was meaningful to the heart.
" I promise" That was the last words that Was said before a Van slipped into a happy slumber with a smile on his face.
~* New Chapter*~
Chapter 25: untimely failure.
Van woke up with a jump, and he felt his heart lighten. This was the first time in three years that he has spoken to Hitomi. He looked at his surroundings and didn't really know where he was, until a moment passed and his memory started to come into view. A smile started to form on the face that the years had taken its toll, softening, and putting a look that can only portray the hardship he had gone through.
~* Hope's environment*~
Hope woke up, wishing that she would be at home, on earth in her own bed. But her wish didn't come true for she woke up in the cold dark box, alone and still confused on what she was suppose to do. She wanted to do what her mother had asked, but she still wasn't clear on one thing. The one thing was about the big part she played in this great conflict this planet was suppose to have. So Hope decided that she would train herself, but she felt different than she had the last few days, or what ever amount of time she had been in this mind threshold. She felt tired and weak, not wanting to move or work in any way. It was exhausting just to focus her energy on one thing and not let her mind wander.
" I have to work... I know my body is about to give up on me.. but I just have to hang in for a little while." even in Hope's voice you could hear the lingering hiss of death.
She closed her blood red eyes and started to search her mind, trying to find something that could strengthen her sense. Her mind soared and she lost track of time, and the search dragged on. Finally she settled on one memory to help her, and her memory held a hidden goal... That hidden goal was to find and demand answers from the man that brutally ripped her family from her grasp. She looked over her memories and watched the movie like image play over and over, and seen the same man take lives and ruin her life.
Her energy grew limited, and all she wanted to do was sleep. Hope tried desperately to open her eyes, but they wouldn't open. She cleared her mind and tried to move, but yet again the same result... nothing. So finally she gave in and let her soul rest for the last time.
~* Van's nightmare*~
Van was straight at Hope's side when he woke up, he knew that Hope was the only one that knew where Hitomi was, and she may know a way to talk to her.
" Hope, please make it out of this. There is so much riding on your recovery, Geae's future, Dilandau's conviction, and my broken heart." Van spoke from the caring and nurturing part of himself. But what he didn't know was that her body may be functioning, but her mind and soul had already left her body, waiting for liberty of the torture of life.
Van reached for Hope's hand, but as soon as their flesh touched, Van dropped her arm. What he feared the most was happening right before his eyes, and he didn't know what to do.
" MILLERNA!!!!" Van yelled, his voice quivering, and his heart in shock.
The blonde medic rushed in, not knowing what was going on. She took one look at Hope and knew what had happened. Hope's lips were as blue as the night sky right before the sun dips past the horizon. Her skin as pale as the snow, and her body frail and unbelievably small. Millerna took Hope's pulse and temperature, there was nothing, not a beat, and her temperature was cold enough to freeze even the warmest of hearts.
" Im so sorry Van, she's... she's... gone" Millerna didn't understand, she didn't really know this girl but it was hard for her to say that the young girl was gone. Like there was a bond between the two women that was invisible until now, but it felt like the bond that Millerna and Hitomi had shared.
"NO... this cant be it, I promised Yuri I wouldn't let her go. I need her here with us." Van yelled, and started to pump on Hope's chest, trying to start her heart.
Millerna just watched, wanting this to work the same way it did when Hitomi's heart stopped. The room went silent except the constant pump of Hope's lungs.
Van wasn't thinking of anything but Hope, he knew that she was stronger than that and she could come back. But what if she didn't want to come back, and what if she couldn't handle the suffering that she would have to endure to get home. Van's thoughts trailed off into the distance, he didn't know if it was the best thing to do, to bring her back might be worse than leaving her were she was.
~* Dilandau's dilemma*~
" well what's wrong with her, she can't be that injured.." Dilandau was wondering, but he didn't want it to seem that he cared.
" If she wasn't that injured, the king would be down here dealing with the likes of you." The guard replied.
Dilandau thought about this...
' maybe she was hurt more than what I knew about,'
" So... guard did your king send word that I should get something to fill my stomach?" Dilandau went and sat down, knowing that he was wasting his energy.
" The answer is the same as the one i gave you the last time you asked." The guard went to his position of slouching and checking his eye lids for holes.
~*Hope's spirit*~
Hope watched in melancholy, seeing Van try so hard to bring her back. Hope wanted to go back, to soothe the heart break that seemed to come over Van, but there was a lingering feeling that she didn't want to go back. She didn't want to be tormented of the memories of her clan dying, and not being able to help them.
" I wish that Van didn't hurt so much, not over me anyway." Hope said before she closed her eyes of the woeful scene.
~* Through Van's eyes*~
' I wont let her go, not now, the sight of Hitomi and the planet of Gaea rests on the life of this young girl.' Van wouldn't give up, he knew he had to bring Hope back some way.
Van continued to compress the pressure to Hope's heart trying to jumps start it... but nothing worked. Van started to wish from the bottom of his heart, and that's when it happened...
Van's body became limp and fell to the floor, his eyes a cold black as his soul left his body.
~* To BE Continued...*~
And don't forget Im going to be making a entrance of a new character soon... so keep reading.....
