Chapter Eight
Van sighed and watched the uncertain fire burn in his sister's eyes; in truth he felt nothing as he knocked her unconcious, but now he felt utterly horrible. He didn't understand what compelled him to campture her, to let Allen win but her did it. He figured everything was done for a reason, though he wasn't so sure the reason was worth it. He truthfully beleived she was his sister. After Folken had injected the tranquilizer into his shoulder he had fallen asleep into a wonderful dream world of when he was a little. Folken was the best big brother, he was laying down with him in the forest when a small high pitched voice started calling out to them. It began to get louder, and Van felt Folken lift him up and set him back down. Van looked up to see Folken walking away towards the voice. Getting up himself he ran behind Folken and found his three year old little sister standing there.That was the end of his dream before he woke up from the Vione rocking violently. Knowing it was time he tried to get out of his binds when Ashley came in, and then the rest happened.
Van sighed softly and ran a calloused hand through his coal black hair, his fiery ruby eyes became gently as he sat down on the bed Ashley had occupied for twelve hours.
" Ashley, we kidnapped you because you were fighting for the wrong side." Van began, Ashley's eyes softened. Besides how could she be mad at someone whom she just found out was he brother anyways.
" How do you know that they are the wrong side and you are the right side. What if neither of you are good or bad, what if you are both good sides and this is all happening for the good of all Gaea?" Ashley questioned, sitting beside him on the bed she touched his arm lightly. Immediatly regretting that action she tried to withdraw her hand only to be enveloped into another horrific vision.
~Vision~
Ashley was standing in the middle of a large battle, both sides equally matching each other. Though, there she was amongst it, dressed an odd dress. It was had a tight white bodice, with a square neck line; the sleeves were three quarter length and a little loose, or so it seemed. The dress went on to the ankles, though it had a large slit to the top of her hips on both sides. some weird Atlantean symbols were elaboratly drawn on the front, the drawings were drawn in dark violet with a pale lavender background. The cloth ot was drawn on was see through and held up by a thin black belt with a sheath which he sword occupied. Her long hair was left down to flow around her, black leather boots went up to mid-thigh, and she had huge black angel wings protruding from her back. A wooden staff was in her hand with a large black orb sitting above it glowing black energy. Ashley frowned as she watched the evil version of herself attack Hitomi whom was wearing a white version of Ashley's outfit, only the drawing was different and in a dark green on a light green background. Her staff was long, wooden and her glowing orb was pure white, pearly white angel wings protruded from her back. Her hair had grown to about her shoulders which made her look really pretty. But, for some reason they both looked different.
Though, Van was there behind her, his hair was longer to his waist and had a hair tie at the base of the neck to keep it back. He was dressed in a pair of black tight leggings, a pure white tank top shirt, white knee length boots, his white wings were also out his sword was aimed at someone wearing black and red whom really resembled Dilandau greatly.
Ashley ignored them and concentrated on Hitomi and herself, though was interrupted by someone putting a hand on her shoudler. Looking over she saw Van watching everything happening.
" What is this?" He asked her.
" I don't know but it's scary." Ashley whispered, a bit scared. She watched as the evil Ashley charged Hitomi and blew her back with black energy. The energy blew Hitomi a couple of feet and into a large rock, Hitomi was dazed when Ashley dissappeared, reappearing infront of her; her sword out, staff gone. Ashley pushed the sword deep into Hitomi's abdomen, the evil Ashley smirked wickedly and watched as Hitomi moaned silently in pain and grasped the blade with her bare hands. Her green eyes becoming glassy as the life faded from her.
Withdrawing the sword, Ashley watched the lifeless form of Hitomi slump to the ground. Smiling to herself the evil girl flicked her tongue out and licked the blood off of the tip. Grinning she turned around to see Van kill her beloved. The girl screamed in rage and horror, her eyes becoming unnaturally cold she flew at him her sword in both hands ready to slice him in half. Though he flew up and blocked, throwing her to the ground, levitating downward, Ashley got up shakily. Turning around she stuck her sword out. Not really watching what she was doing she had pushed it right through his own stomach. Van's wide ruby eyes stared into her own cold, dark violet ones as he too grasped her sword. Pulling it out slowly Ashley pushed Van to the ground and laughed maniacally. Taking to the air she began to hack through people like knives through potatoes.
The vision shifted as the two siblings were sent into a black abyss, Van holding onto Ashley's shaking form. There before them were their parents, Varie and Gou Fanel. Van looked at them with sad expressions then down to his sister who had her face buried into his side crying hysterically murmuring things like 'no' and 'that isn't me, I'm not a bad person'. Van sadly looked at her as he listened to his deceased parents speak to them.
" Kurai, Van...please listen to what we are about to tell you." Varie spoke to them softly. Ashley looked up at her new name and began to wipe her eyes free of the tears that had been spilt.
" You're my parents?" Ashley dumbly asked. Gou's eyes softened at the sight of his little girl and Varie nodded.
" Beside that point, listen." Gou stated in his rough voice, that sounded like and older version of Van's teenage voice. Ashley and Van both nodded, though Ashley still had a hold of Vans waist with him absent mindedly petting her hair.
" That image you both saw there was an image of about twenty thousand years ago, when the Atlanteans first made Gaea. Kurai, you were the reason Atlantis sunk below the sea. Actually you weren't you back then, you were born to the royal Atlantean family, you were a very kind person but your name was Kali back then. Anyways, when you were fifteen you met a boy named Dalindo, he had been shipwrecked on the hidden island. You two fell in love, but his evil ways led you to corruption and greed. So when you went to over throw the current ruler, who was your brother Vyonae, the entire kingdom of people went against you. But, with your power and the evil inside of you; you eventually killed everyone, except a select few thousand Atlanteans. You eventually killed yourself with the evil energy overload, going down with the lost city of Atlantis." Varie explained, Ashley was horrified and looked down at the ground.
" So, I am a bad person..." Ashley mumbled and silent tears began to fall down her face again.
" No, Kurai listen to us, when you were reborn, to us your mother was a little shocked by your looks. I mean we both had dark crimson eyes, she had darkish greenish black hair and me with coal black it was odd. But, then after some research she found out about the prophecy of an old woman who told us this the day we announced that you were pregnant to the people of Fanelia. She said that the baby would be a girl, a great girl, greater than any god or goddess in any religion. This girl would be the reincarnated soul of Kali the legendary princess of the Atlanteans who turned on her people and killed thousands of them. Though, she warned us that you would be slightly different than the evil one. You would be the good part of her soul, since the soul was split by the higher beings. The evil part would be set into someone elses body and the good into you. You would be the one to end the great Gaean War on the Eve of your fifteenth birthday. But, it wouldn't be so without a great consequence." Gou finished, Ashley blinked back the tears and sniffled slightly.
" So, I'm not bad, I'm here for a reason." Ashley saidm Varie smiled and nodded.
" What I don't get was, why Hitomi was in all this." Van finally spoke up, he was more composed than his younger sister by one year.
" Hitomi was a daughter of Japanese emperor, and an Atlantean woman. Though Hitomi wasn't Hitomi she was Hoshiko. Hoshiko was also shipwrecked on our island and had been having a little fling with the prince. Hoshiko held the power to stop Kali though being uneperienced she failed, causing the downfall of Atlantis and the uprising of Gaea." Varie answered. Ashley nodded, though Van was still processing this.
" I'm sorry young ones, but you have to go now, we'll be seeing you again soon." Gou called out, Ashley now picked up on the fact that her parents voices began to get farther and farther away. Then she couldn't see Van anymore, until she saw a bright white light, from the light she heard Van and Allen calling to her. Running towards the bright light she felt something slap her.
~ end of vision~
Ashley opened her eyes slowly to see atleast fifteen people in her room, swords drawn. Though Allen motioned for them to put them away, Van was sitting on the bed next to her laying form, his face was worried. Ashley bit her lip and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.
" Oh my god..that was soo..... oi.."she whispered and let go, looking around the room she spotted Allen and glared. " I'll say sorry, for trapping you but once you piss this girl off you know you're in for it." was her only answer, some snickers were heard around the room as men filed out of the room. Allen pushed everyone out of the room to allow Van and Ashley some time alone to talk. Giving Allen more time to flirt with Hitomi to try and get her into the sack.
Once the door closed Ashley turned to her brother, she studied him a moment before she decided to speak.
" Van, I'm sorry." Ashley said. Van looked at her funny before questioning her.
" What are you sorry for?"
" For the way I was back then, maybe if I was good Atlantis would have still been here and then the draconian people could be left in peace on Earth and not critized like they are on Gaea." Ashleyt answered.
" Didn't you even listened to a word mother and father said. You weren't the same back then as you are now. You aren't evil, you're good and pure, and the way I see it I'm happy your here, good or bad the outcome. I was dreaming of when we were little and how we used to play together. I missed those days." Van semi-whispered the latter part, Ashley's dark violet eyes began to cloud up as she once again threw herself onto Van, this time he fell over. Ashley hugged his sided as she laid her head on his shoulder.
" Van, I did miss those days, mom, dad, Folken. I missed all of you, I don't tell anyone, but I used to cry after Folken told me about everyone because I was thinking about everything I missed." Ashley whispered, sniffling slightly, her eyes closed she felt Van idly pet her hair and saying things like ' Shhh.... it's ok' and 'I'll be here for you'. Soon, Ashley felt relaxed enough to sleep soundly.
Van laid there thinking about his sister, his life, the future, and what was going to happen. What if she died, what if he died, what if Hitomi died; would he be the one to bring his sisters death, would she bring hitomi's and his. Would the same outcome of Atlantis happen to Gaea? He couldn't help but wonder these things, he felt bad for taking her away, she seemed so happy on the Vione. But, he thought it was best, maybe he could help her get back to the Vione without someone knowing and make it seem like she escaped. But, would someone know, there were a lot of sneaky people on this ship; including him but somehow he knew he should just let fate decide things, it was always best; right?
Dilandau sat on his throne, his Dragonslayers all obediently in formation, a select six trying to keep themselves together. They were all mad at what had happened earlier, Ashley had been kidnapped by the dragon, his wench and the crusade. Dilandau angrily slammed the bottom of his fist onto the black arm rest of his chair creating a loud clanging through out the room. His crimson eyes turned into thin slits as he thought about everything. Maybe it was good that she was gone, maybe he'd be able to focus on more important things than a girl. Though, everytime he tried to focus on something, her crying, tarnished face would enter his mind. The same face he saw before Van sliced his cheek....his perfect, flawless, creamy, white, cheek had been tarnished by the blade of Van Fanel her very brother. His glare became harder to see, it made him look like he had closed his eyes. Absent mindedly running a slender finger over the cut repeatedly he began to murmur ' cheek' repeatedly.
" Dilandau-sama maybe it isn't wise to press on the wound." Guimel inquired, which made Dilandau leap up and slap him hard across the face.
" Do you think i do not know that!! Now, you all get the fuck out of here and do not disturb me or else you will face dier consequences." His glare made then all leave, sighing he climbed the three stairs and slumped into his throne thinking about a certain violet eyed princess.
Folken had tried to get his work done but Dornkirk had somehow found out about the invasion upon the Vione and began to chew him out. Then afterwards he was given orders to find his sister and recapture her. Stupid old bastard, didn't give a flying fuck about the dragonslayers feelings, just going to send them out to find her. Yes, he though they should look but atleast give them time to let out frustration, give them time to breathe. So, that is why he was making up excuses on why he shouldn't tell them sooner, than the fact they needed to build uop rage, which was a good idea it would work for a little while. He'd send them up as soon as they made it to Freid, it would be easier since that was where he figured Millerna would make Allen go. Stupid princess, stupid hair boy; he was wrapped around that girls finger like a really tight curl that wont unravel.
" Oi, when will my little Kurai be coming back." He murmured, shaking his head he buried his nose into his current book trying to get some work done.
Hitomi sat in her room, it was right next to Ashley's current room on the crusade. Merle was going through her duffel bag again, though it wasn't bugging her. What was bugging her the most was Ashley, why was Van still in there after what Allen told her she did. Hitomi didn't like the way he was always with her, he was even with her twenty-four/ seven when she was unconcious. Hitomi just had the deep urge to hurt the small girl, she didn't understand where it was coming from but, what she did understand was the need to get the girl out of the picture.
' Yes, if that bitch is gone, Van will be all mine." Hitomi smiled wickedly as she stared into space not really knowing where the evil energy was coming from deep inside of her very being.
Allen was boredly standing around the head of the Crusade, the crew was now settled down from earlier and he had gotten them into the border of Freid. Millerna was still trying to get him to show her around, so what he did was he told her to go get a yellow tailed salmon from the cook, and don't take a ' we don't have that' from him. It was brilliant really, she totally bought it without a second thought. Though with her trying to please him at all times she was pretty much and easy candidate for this kind of stuff. He really didn't like her for her, just that she looked like his late love, Marlena, and now he was being forced to see the son he couldn't even tell he was his biological father. It was sad, but true, he wasn't supposed to be near Chid even if it meant delivering Millerna, but the duke was away so I guess some rules are allowed to be broken. What could possibly happen, they'd be locked up? Ha, yeah right Chid loves Millerna too much to hurt her and her 'freinds'. It's sad really, she thinks he loves her yet he doesn't, and she chooses to beleive everyone is her freind, even though people make fun of her ditzyness. She totally sees right through it, no one really does anything obvious, but it is to the smarter people of the world. So dense is she, Allen couldn't wait until he could get her off his ship. But, in Freid he had a feeling things wouldn't be alright, but he pushed that thought aside as Gaddes came up to him asking about the hull of the ship.
Note: Reveiw if ya want, thank you for reading, and I love this fic, it's my baby. Oi, it's hot here....i swear I'm sticking to my chair....er. Anyhoo.thankz and bai!!
