Chapter Ten
Ashley awoke to the sound of yelling, which made her already pounding head hurt even more. Which made her a not so happy little girl, which for whoever was arguing on her shit list. Ashley groaned as she sat up rubbing her head, though when she went to touch the base of her neck a searing pain went through her spine and she immediately regretted touching it. Cracking one annoyed looking violet eye she spotted Dilandau and Folken still arguing apparently it was a bout her. Rubbing her eyes she opened them both and watched them argue about her. Dilandau was really upset as well as Folken which puzzled her, what happened before she woke up?
"You should have been more careful!!" Folken yelled at Dilandau, all he did in turn was raise a silvery eyebrow and cock his head to the side.
" Well, it's not my fault her neck hit the thumb of my guymelef." He said calmly, ok apparently Folken was the only one yelling. Ashley blinked before deciding to end their annoying bickering.
" If you want to talk about someone make sure they aren't in the room with you." She croaked out annoyed. Both guys heads snapped to the side to looked at her as she glared at them.
" Ashley, thank the gods you're ok!!" Folken exclaimed and rushed to her side. Ashley just glared at him and unconsciously touched her neck again causing her to wince. She noticed Dilandau go outside and then the Dragonslayers all came rushing it.
" Ok, now I landed on Dilandau's melef's thumb?!?" Ashley asked a little skeptical.
" Yeah, and Dilandau-sama rushed you to the Vione." Chesta said quietly, Ashley smirked and decided to annoy the annoying one.
" Awwww, didn't know you cared Dilly." Ashley teased causing some smirks and a very annoyed Dilandau. Though he was relieved she was ok.
" I don't have time for this." Dilandau huffed and left the room. Ashley's face dropped which didn't go unnoticed by her brother. Her scowled though kept it inside as for Ashley not to see it.
" I'm hungry..." Ashley trailed off as a loud rumbling caused by her stomach sounded which caused everyone in the room to laugh. Ashley looked around the room, they looked releived and scared. Had something happened to her while she was asleep or something. Shrugging she hopped off the bed and looked around. " Man, de ja vu or something." She mumbled and laughed at herself. For some reason she felt like she belonged here, this was her home, her family, her life.
" Well, we should go to the training grounds..." Migel said trailing off. Viole nodded and headed out, after one by one they were all gone, besides Folken and Ashley.
" So.... how was it?" Folken asked her.
" How was what?" Ashley asked confused. Folken almost face faulted but only sighed.
" How was your little visit?" Realization dawned on her as what Folken was saying finally drilled into her head.
" It was wonderful!! Van's really nice!! I love him!! He's a wonderful brother, just like you!! As a matter of fact her reminds me of you...a lot.. the way you both care for me and act like I'm going to break even though I'm not." Ashley trailed off but began to smile as she thought about how alike they were.
" I'm glad." Was all Folken said before leaving to do his other duties. Ashley sighed as she was once again left alone. Being alone sucked, skipping out the door she skipped to the training grounds to watch the dragonslayers spar and stuff.
Dilandau was heatedly sparring with Viole to blow his anger off, Viole had pure fear in his eyes which seemed to spark the fire burning in Dilandau. Dilandau thrusted harder until he finally stabbed Viole in his right shoulder. Dark crimson blood stained the boys crisp white sparring shirt. His scream of agony peirced the stillness as another screech was heard near the back. As Dilandau looked up he saw Ashley pushing the gawking people out of the way. She screeched again as the groaning Viole pressed his hands over the rapidly bleeding wound. Dilandau watched Ashley horrified expression and almost laughed.
Ashley fell to her knees and pressed a hand over the wound, pulling it backs he stared at the blood covering her hand and dripping slowly to the hard packed dirt floor. Shuddering in memory of her latest vision of war, she closed her eyes and shook the memory away. Re-opening her violet orbs she had determination in her eyes. Dilandau's sword most likely peirced a main vein in Viole's arm, and it was gushing with blood every few minutes so it must've been the main vein that led to the heart. unbuttoning her shirt, and taking her tank top off she was left in her bra and pants. Ripping the tank top into strips she made a pad and pushed it firmly onto the wound causing Viole to goran loudly. " Hold this like I was before." Ashley ordered, he looked at her and did as he was told. Ashley smiled and ripped her other shirt upt into strips, connecting them and tied a sort of wrap around the abused area. Helping him stand up she steadied him, he was wavering, probably from blood loss. " Chesta, Guimel take him to the infirmiry, now!!" she barked, it was odd hearing orders from her but it was their comrade and the best for him so they complide. Though they could tell just before they left that something unexpected would happen while they were gone.
Dilandau was seething, how dare she order his men around with him standing right there!!
" How dare you orer my men around!!" Dilandau yelled, his furry evident in his voice. The dragonslayer all took a few steps back only Ashley stood forward. She wasn't backing down for the life of her, which most of the people in the room thought she wouldn't have much of one after this.
" I did it because he was hurt, practically dieing!! Do you understand that you totally split open Viole's main vein to his heart!! You literally just signed his death certificate!!" Ashley screamed at him. Dilandau's eyes widened before they narrowed into small slits that looked like he had closed his eyes. The glare he gave off caused all the dragonslayers to leave the room. The only two people in the room was Dilandau and Ashley, both giving each other glares of death.
Though, without warning Dilandau sprang at Ashley, pinning her to the dirt floor. Ashley was in shock for a few moments before she kneed him in the groin, he stiffened in pain as Ashley rolled him off of her, unfortunately he still had a good grip on her arms so he easily pushed up and rolled her off of him so he was straddling her hips, her arms pinned to her sides, tightly, her elbows slightly digging into her ribs. Ashley breath quicken as thoughts ran through her head.
' Oh my god, no one's here but us....what if he hurts me?!? what if he rapes me!?!? Oh my fucking god..gotta get him off me!!' she was screaming in her head, Dilandau was breathing heavily, probably due to the fact he was still in pain from being kneed in the nuts. Ashley stared into his crimson eyes, and what she saw took her breath away. His eyes were a window to his soul right at that moment; and what she saw she wished he would express. She could tell he cared deeply for the people around him, possibly even herself, but she couldn't tell. She could see greif in his eyes, probably for what he had done to Viole. Then his eyes flickered to...lust, want...need? love? anxiousness? then it turned to anger, confusion, then went dead cold. It was like the window shut on its own blocking Ashley's veiw.
Ashley searched his face, his eyes for an answer to anything, but all she got was blankness. Searching more frantically, she gave up. Then she thought about it, her own eyes were probably mirroring the same things his were. The exact same things his were, it was scary but she now knew that she loved him. Yes, she probably wouldn't have said anything to him but she knew it was there. She even knew that some where deep and hidden in Dilandau he liked or at least cared a little for her. Ashley sighed as she gave up, laying there staring at each other seemed to spark something in Dilandau's eyes, as well as his face. It softened, but she didn't see it for very long before he quickly pressed his lips against her own.
The action was so quick and surprising that it took her a little while before she could respond. Though, closing her eyes slowly, hesitantly she shivered as he allowed his warm tongue to trace her bottom lip as if actually asking for permission. Without a second thought Ashley opened her mouth and gasped as he plunged his soft velvety pink tongue into her anxioiusly awaiting mouth. Their kiss grew with passion as they both battled each other. Ashley intangled her thin pale ivory fingers into his silver hair, she didn't realize she was doing this but right now she didn't care. Some how she was in another world, where only she and Dilandau exsisted, everyone and everything were gone, droned out, totally unnoticed. It seemed as if they couldn't get enough of each other as their hands roamed over each other's body. Ashley felt somthing begin to grow in the pit of her stomach, but didn't understand what it was, but she did know that she liked it;wanted more of it.
Ashley was so caught up in the moment that she hardly noticed his hands inching lower and lower until they reached the top button on her pants. Ashley was so lost in her little world that she only realized what he was doing when he had his hands in her pants. Ashley's eyes widened as she shoved him off of her, jumping up she glared at him as she re-buttoned her pants.
" What the hell were you doing?!?" Ashley exclaimed, crossing her arms over her chest. Dilandau looked confused at her, though didn't answer. Ashley shreiked, clearly a sign she was annoyed and stalked out of the room. Dilandau licked his lips, her taste still lingering there, now he knew what he wanted. But the question was, did she want it too?
Ashley was very confused and scared, was he thinking about what she thought he was thinking about? Shuddering, she began to walk faster down the hallway towards her room. She had to admit, she liked it, liked it a lot, though.... when he had his hand...down her pants that's when everything seemed uneasy. She didn't like it, she was fine with the kissing but he was just going way to fast.
' Man, I dunno about Gaea or anything but on Earth people just don't jump that far in one kiss.' Ashley said to herself, rubbing her cold arms she half jogged, half walked to her room. If she didn't get to her room and put on another shirt she could catch a cold. ' Why is it always so damn cold in here, it's like that time our air conditioner went haywire and it started snowing in my bedroom.' Ashley thought, giggling slightly she found her room and went inside.
Immediatly grabbing the nearest long sleeved shirt in her drawers, she found it was her favorite most shirt in the entire world. It was gray, and stretchy, she liked it cause it was made of this cool material, and you could push the sleeves up if you got hot and you'd feel better. She always loved wearing that shirt, it made her feel different, it was weird but she loved it. Putting it on she smiled and pushed the sleeves up to just above the bend of her elbow, and she didn't even have to worry about it going back down. Looking at her outfit she didn't like it so she grabbed the matching pair of pajama pants, taking her boots off her now sore feet and stripping the tight leggings off she slipped her legs into the cool material and felt better. Leaving her thickly padded socks on she felt like wearing pajama's, she just wasn't in the mood, and for some reason her stomach didn't feel very good either.
Rubbing her stomach she groaned, it felt like someone was trying to rip something out of her stomach through her belly button. Whinning slightly she slammed her door shut and wiced when it began to echo down the hallway. Shrugging to herself, she literally collapsed into her bed without pulling the covers over her.
Ashley had been missing for about a week, and if she didn't come back soon her freinds would just die. She was the glue that held them all together and lately they were all falling apart without her. Her dissappearance put Mary into depression, Cara wouldn't talk about anything but memories of their hyper freind. Jami barely went to the movies anymore for fear she'd see somethign that reminded her of Ashley. Jessica was trying to keep everyone together only it wasn't working, she even had to admit it wasn't the same without her. They tried countless tiems to find her, only to not find her anywhere. Though something sounded fishy, they told Ashley's mom about her dissappearance and all the woman did was shrug and said that Ashley was going on a trip. But, Mary and Jessica knew otherwise.
~ Jessica and Mary's Flashback~
They were with her the day she was caught in the pillar of light, that fateful day their best freind dissappeared. Mary and Jessica tried to keep Ashley from leaving only for her to be pulled from their grasps and heaving towards the pale blue sky. After the pillar of white light left their sites, Jessica and Mary stood there a minute in shock.
" Oh my god, Ashley's been abducted by Aliens!!" Mary shreiked as she started shaking uncontrollably, this couldn't be happening.
" Well, if that were true they'd be giving her right back since they'd be doing brain scans and soon find nothing there." Jessica joked only to have a death glare sent her way. Gulping Jessica backed away. " I know, no jokes at a time like this." Jessica sighed as did Mary.
" Who's going to tell her mom?" Mary asked a little hesitantly.
" The biggest question is how are we going to tell her?" Jessica said, Mary nodded as she went into deep thought.
" The truth." Mary said, Jessica sighed and started walking towards Ashley's house.
" No Mary, she'd think we were crazy or something. Though the truth does sound better than lying." Jessica spoke in a soft tone. Mary nodded and both girls walked like in a trance towards there freinds house.
The two girls made it to the house a little to soon in their minds, and soon Mary was knocking on the door. Anita, the mother, opened the door and smiled at the two girls, her shoulder length strawberry blonde hair was in a high ponytail. Her dark brown eyes searching their faces before frowning.
" Where's Ashley? Wasn't she with you guys?" Anita asked a little scared.
" Um, Anita...Ashley was abducted by a pillar of white light." Mary said quietly half expecting Anita to laugh at them and ask if it were a joke. Anita sat down on the steps of the front porch and smiled.
" It has begun." Anita murmured, Mary nad Jessica heard this and frowned.
" Um...excuse me?" Jessica asked. Anita looked up at her and smiled.
" No, Ashleyw asn't abducted she was being taken on a trip, now you girls run along and go home before your parents worry. Forget what happened, Ashley will return soon, I promise." Anita said, before going back into her house. Mary went to say something only to have the door shut in her face. Jessica glared at the door as Mary and Jessica walked towards their own homes.
~End of Flashback~
Mary twirled a peice of her scarlet colored hair around her pale forefinger. Mary's orangish golden eyes turned to slits at the memory. Her small pale face contorted into a frown as did Jessica's in front of her. Jessica was over her house thinking of ways to bring Ashley back from her 'trip'. Jessica's bright emerald green eyes clouded over with memories of everything that has happened earlier. Jessica was a short girl since her mother is Chinese and her father is half Chinese and half American she got her height from her Asian heritage. Her hair was cut short to her chin and a pale jade color that shone brightly in the sun. Jessica was dressed in a pair of shorts that were black and made of cotton with a white drawstring so they didn't fall off her small waist. A dark green T-shirt was what she wore, the sleeves were too long so she rolled them up to just above the bend of her elbow.
Mary had just come back from a party at her grandmother's house and still was wearing her party dress. The dress was scarlet to match her hair; the dress wasn't very long, went to about six inches above the knee, and had a square neck line. The sleeves were made of a mesh scarlet lace that had been sewn on to the four inch strap.Scarlet colored tights adorned her pale legs with matching scarlet colored boots that had six inch soles and the top of the boot ended at least two inches above the knee. Her hair was left down to pool around her with the top half held back and put into place by a large scarlet ribbon tied into a bow. Light red eyeshadow adorned her eyelids and pale pink blush mingled with her pale face.
" Hm, there must be some way to summon the pillar of light to either get to Ashley or bring Ashley back." Mary inquired, then got an idea. See, Mary and Jessica had been training with Ashley to become witches. They didn't have very far to go to reach their ultimate goal. Though Mary and Jessica were having a harder time due to the fact they weren't born with magic in their blood. But, it didn't take them long before they were on their way to passing all tests to become real sorceresses. " Hey Jess?" Mary asked with a smile on her face.
" What if we tried to use our magic to go to her?" Mary asked, Jessica's emerald eyes widened to that of saucers then she grinned.
" We'll try it tomorrow, because.." She glanced at her watch and her eyes widened a little. " Oh my god i'm late!! My mom is gonna kill me!!" Jessica cried while she slipped her white tennis shoes on and grabbed her small black back pack, running out the door she called out. " I'll meet you at the park tomorrow morning at six!!" Mary waited for a few minutes, then heard the door to her house slam shut, laughing to herself she turned to her 'book of shadows' and began to scan it for any thing she could use.
Van was trying to sleep, but couldn't get Ashley out of his mind, he shouldn't have let her go. But, he knew that she thought she was fighting for the right side, no matter how much her depised Zaibach he could take everything away from his sister. Like take her from some place she thought was what she beleived in. He astually missed her, sure they hadn't been together very long, or talked about anything in particular but he did miss her. She was so pure and so full of life, she was just what this world needed, she was that an more.
Sighing he rolled over onto his right side and stared at the shadows casting their forms on the wall of his temporary room. It was hot in there, so he kicked his covers off and slipped back over onto his back. If he didn't sleep he wouldn't be able to operate when they got to Freid's capitol. That and held the crew take Allen into the palace. During the fight, Allen got injured and hurt himself badly. Millerna was operating on him earlier, that's why no one got to sleep as fast as they would have liked to. So, closing his crimson orbs Van slipped off into dreamland.
Note: A little shorter...but this fic is becoming along a little to....how shall I say this...boring..lol..anyhoo...I'll try to do more..

" No, Ashleyw asn't abducted she was being taken on a trip, now you girls run along and go home before your parents worry. Forget what happened, Ashley will return soon, I promise." Anita said, before going back into her house. Mary went to say something only to have the door shut in her face. Jessica glared at the door as Mary and Jessica walked towards their own homes.
~End of Flashback~
Mary twirled a peice of her scarlet colored hair around her pale forefinger. Mary's orangish golden eyes turned to slits at the memory. Her small pale face contorted into a frown as did Jessica's in front of her. Jessica was over her house thinking of ways to bring Ashley back from her 'trip'. Jessica's bright emerald green eyes clouded over with memories of everything that has happened earlier. Jessica was a short girl since her mother is Chinese and her father is half Chinese and half American she got her height from her Asian heritage. Her hair was cut short to her chin and a pale jade color that shone brightly in the sun. Jessica was dressed in a pair of shorts that were black and made of cotton with a white drawstring so they didn't fall off her small waist. A dark green T-shirt was what she wore, the sleeves were too long so she rolled them up to just above the bend of her elbow.
Mary had just come back from a party at her grandmother's house and still was wearing her party dress. The dress was scarlet to match her hair; the dress wasn't very long, went to about six inches above the knee, and had a square neck line. The sleeves were made of a mesh scarlet lace that had been sewn on to the four inch strap.Scarlet colored tights adorned her pale legs with matching scarlet colored boots that had six inch soles and the top of the boot ended at least two inches above the knee. Her hair was left down to pool around her with the top half held back and put into place by a large scarlet ribbon tied into a bow. Light red eyeshadow adorned her eyelids and pale pink blush mingled with her pale face.
" Hm, there must be some way to summon the pillar of light to either get to Ashley or bring Ashley back." Mary inquired, then got an idea. See, Mary and Jessica had been training with Ashley to become witches. They didn't have very far to go to reach their ultimate goal. Though Mary and Jessica were having a harder time due to the fact they weren't born with magic in their blood. But, it didn't take them long before they were on their way to passing all tests to become real sorceresses. " Hey Jess?" Mary asked with a smile on her face.
" What if we tried to use our magic to go to her?" Mary asked, Jessica's emerald eyes widened to that of saucers then she grinned.
" We'll try it tomorrow, because.." She glanced at her watch and her eyes widened a little. " Oh my god i'm late!! My mom is gonna kill me!!" Jessica cried while she slipped her white tennis shoes on and grabbed her small black back pack, running out the door she called out. " I'll meet you at the park tomorrow morning at six!!" Mary waited for a few minutes, then heard the door to her house slam shut, laughing to herself she turned to her 'book of shadows' and began to scan it for any thing she could use.
Van was trying to sleep, but couldn't get Ashley out of his mind, he shouldn't have let her go. But, he knew that she thought she was fighting for the right side, no matter how much her depised Zaibach he could take everything away from his sister. Like take her from some place she thought was what she beleived in. He astually missed her, sure they hadn't been together very long, or talked about anything in particular but he did miss her. She was so pure and so full of life, she was just what this world needed, she was that an more.
Sighing he rolled over onto his right side and stared at the shadows casting their forms on the wall of his temporary room. It was hot in there, so he kicked his covers off and slipped back over onto his back. If he didn't sleep he wouldn't be able to operate when they got to Freid's capitol. That and held the crew take Allen into the palace. During the fight, Allen got injured and hurt himself badly. Millerna was operating on him earlier, that's why no one got to sleep as fast as they would have liked to. So, closing his crimson orbs Van slipped off into dreamland.
