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.

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*~
" 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..
~* New Chapter*~
Chapter 26: Powers
Van started to fall. His body feeling wind pass through his hair, and rush past his cheek. He opened his eyes to find himself in a pit of darkness just... falling.
" OH no..." On the intuition of past experiences Van focused on his shoulder blades, on his hidden feature.
~* With Hope's Spirit*~
Hope floated weightlessly above Van's motionless body, seeing his dark eyes focused on a spot on the wall.
" NO.. not for me.. not another life that death has claimed from me." Hope's heart sank, knowing that Van's spirit had fled his body.
Just as Hope's spirit was sinking in sadness, her heart felt a pull... as she was pulled into the darkness once again. But before she left the scene she whispered one thing...
"Please be all right Van.... please."
~* Millerna's trepidation*~
Millerna didn't know what to do. She had two bodies, both still very much alive in spirit, but not physically. And one thing was that the King, the King of all people laid upon the two bodies.
" Oh what am I to do... im not trained for this." Millerna ran out the door, but not before hearing the soft voice of the young dying girl
' Please be all right Van.... please. '
~* The black box*~
Van focused and finally, radiant white wings sprouted from his back and he descended slowly until his feet touched solid ground. However he wasn't about to retract his wings just yet, since he didn't know what could happen. He looked around, trying to focus his eyes to try and see if he could spot anything. Nothing, just nothing, it was pitch black and nothing like Hitomi's mind box.
"Hello......" Van's voice echoed through the endless darkness.
Hope could see Van, and hear him too. But when she went to reply nothing came out. No sound, no whisper, nothing. She tried screaming, and that didn't work. Then she tried touching Van so that he would acknowledge her existence, but her body passed through his.
' Why can't I do anything to let Van know that he's not alone in this darkness of my soul.' Hope kept thinking to herself.
Van started to walk, slowly to make sure that he wouldn't find himself falling again.
' Ok, in this place I have to use the strength of my mind.' hope watched Van for a few seconds, but the only thing that caught her eye was his brilliant wings. Non-human like wings, more like an angels. Hope was in shock, she had never seen this before.
' Van must be an angel. What am I talking about that's nothing I can worry about now. I have to worry about talking to Van, making sure he's ok.' Hope closed her eyes and just focused on making her voice be heard, and her body being seen. Her head started to spin, and she seen Van in front of her, with his white wings and a smile on his face. All of a sudden she heard Van's voice and she opened her eyes.
" Hope, I can't believe I found you, I thought you were gone." Van looked so worried, yet so happy at the same time.
" Are you all right, your body just became limp and Millerna is getting some one to help." Hope was concerned that maybe it was just Van's spirit, coming from the land of dreams, back from the dead, trying to save her.
" Im fine, I just came here looking for you, to make sure your all right, and you body, physically is telling me no. But mentally I say your one of the strongest I know." Van smiled trying to lightened the mood.
Hope was confused, she had seen this same smile right before she heard his voice. That means that she had seen what happened before it came to be. Memories started to flood into Hope's mind flashing past Van like a strong hurricane wind. But he didn't really see any of them, they just rushed passed him in one blur of uncried tears. However they hit Hope like a ton of bricks, at first she was standing and Van was holding onto her shoulders. But now she was walking backwards holding her head, watery tears streaming down her cheeks from the pain.
" Hope, what's wrong?" Van watched as her body trembled and her tears fell, he wanted to help her so much, but he didn't know what to do.
" no..... I don't want to see this anymore.... I ran away from this, I can't take it. Why do you plague my dreams and my nightmares. And yet this does not satisfy you, you have to besiege my consciousness." Hope fell to her knees, still holding her head. Pain surging through her body, but yet the images still kept coming.
Van ran towards her, but before he could reach her he hit a barrier. The invisible dome knocked Van off his feet, and startled him. He didn't know that Hope had that type of mental powers, and could knock him away from her soul.
" Hope, you can trust me, but you have to let me into your life before I can help you with anything. Before I can help you piece together your life and find who destroyed it." This comment hit Hope, not as hard as the memories, but hit some where deep, some where dark in the pit of her heart..
" What did you say...?" Hope's head shot up, her eyes black and her voice cold. She no longer held her head, and stood up.
" Ummm.. what I meant was that....." Van started to try and explain to Hope, but she cut him off.
" I know what you meant, its the fact that you know what my goal is." Hope started to slowly walk towards Van, watching his eyes, making him feel very vulnerable in her mind prison.
" Hope, let me explain. I only know about your past because your mother showed me." Van started to back away from her slow pace.
" My mother?... MY MOTHER ? Who do you think you are, invading my business, my life, my heartache?" Her cold black eyes stared deep into Van's brown ones. He strained not to look away, not letting her stare him down. The darkness started to heat up and you could see the sweat pouring off of Van, but yet Hope didn't even break a sweat. Then as Hope's anger rose and the walls of this mind box were suddenly engulfed in flames.
" Hope, it was my choice to see your memories, but it was your mother that came to me and gave me the choice to help you. She cares for you so much, and she just didn't want you to be alone." Van tried to get Hope to calm down, and get her to realize that he only wanted to help.
" I will always be alone, the only person that I could trust was Hitomi and even she left me. So Im going to help you, by leaving, before your people get killed by death's right hand." Hope's eyes changed from a cold black to a spiritless blue, and her head drooped. One tear made its way down Hope's right cheek and dropped of the end of her chin. The single pear shaped tear hit the floor of flames and instantly extinguished.
" No, your wrong. Your not alone, you have me, you have my people, and you still have Hitomi. No one is ever alone, but if you leave my people and the people of all Geae will parish and the balance of life will relinquish into darkness." Van knew the feeling of being alone, he lived with it all of his life. It was Hitomi that brought him out of the depressing thresh hold.
" Do you really think that your world needs me?" Hope's soft voice had returned, and her tears dried up.
" Yes, yes I do. I believe that your a key in which will turn the hands of history, and keep the balance of life in steady." Van's gentle voice showed that he was sincere.
The lucid blueness in Hope's eyes faded away, and the blood red eyes that Van was so accustom to seeing.
" I will stay, I don't want any one to die because of me. Plus I want to bring Hitomi back to you." Hope turned around so that her back was towards Van, knowing that this would hit him deep.
" Thank you " Van put his hand on Hope's shoulder.
Just as he did that a blinding white light invaded the darkness and pulled the two tormented souls back into the light.
