Hey people! No, I am not dead. This is going to be the only
one for a week or so because I have to go to an out of town camp this week.
Sorry they don't give us computers. Please remember to review this story when you are done! Thanks!

Chapter 8 Tyrants
By. Lady Emerald
Hitomi, Van, and Allen were given the rest of the day to
themselves. They had been given separate rooms and clothes. They all went into
the gardens to have a look around. Van then stopped in front of Hitomi and
suddenly turned around.
"Hitomi, what did you mean when you said that stuff about
masks to that King Adiris?" he asked her looking straight into her eyes.
"Um…" she tried to think clearly, but see couldn't find a
way to tell Van without him getting, well, like Van, rash. She just had to tell
him.
"Ya, what did you two mean?" Allen asked coming over.
"Well, I think that I have met him before." She said.
"What?!" Both of them said in unison.
"Now don't get angry because I don't even know if I am
right. I think that Adiris is the same man that brought me to the Dream World."
Allen's jaw dropped and Van turned a nice shade of red. They
all remembered what that guy had tried to do to Hitomi.
"If it is the same guy, I am going to kill him," Van
thought.
"We have to get off this planet." Allen said breaking Van
out of his thoughts.
"But we can't just leave. I don't even know if I am right."
Hitomi argued.
"I don't want to know if you are right." Van said grabbing
her wrist and half dragging her back towards the castle.
"But…" she started.
"No! We are getting off this planet as soon as possible."
Van said.
"We are going to go look around and try and find a way off
this rock. You stay in your room, ok Hiomi. Don't go out of it. Understand?"
Allen said sternly.
She nodded.
"Great! Just what I want to do, sit in a room." She thought
as the door of her room shut behind her.
She was startled when a servant girl entered her room.
"Oh!" they cried when they each other.
"Hello, I'm Hitomi. Who are you?"
"My name is Dalmis, Princess Hitomi."
"Just Hitomi, ok."
"Yes. May I get anything for you."
"No, but have a few questions you can maybe answer."
The girl nodded and waited for them.
"How does King Adiris know about me? What does he want?"
"Wow. Um… lets see he first started watching you about two
years ago."
"Watching?"
"He and the council, have special machines that can watch
anyone, anywhere. I think he first saw when you slapped the young king Van when
you two first met. From then on he became obsessed with you. At night I could
often hear him screaming things at Allen, Van, and some other people who were,
obviously, doing something he didn't like to you. He vowed that he would have
you and he always gets what he wants."
"What does that all have to do with Alkin?"
"Alkin is at war. King Siatas is the other tyrant of Alkin.
He and King Adiris have been at it for years. Our Lord, will use you to win."
"Dalmis, where are you?" Called a voice from the hall.
"I must go. It was pleasure meeting you Hitomi." She called
over her shoulder as she left Hitomi alone in the room again.
She sighed and went over to the closet. She didn't hear some
one enter her room and lock the door behind them. She opened the doors to the
closet and looked inside. She froze when she felt two hands on her shoulders.
She gasped and turned around only to see Adiris standing there.
"W-what do you want?" she asked shakily.
"I want to see how you look in this dress."
He held up a dark green dress and handed it to her. She went
into the bathroom and put it on. It had stings that had to be tied up in the
front and the skirt went to the floor. She came out and saw that he wasn't
wearing his shirt.
"Lovely." He said as he came towards her.
He took her in his arms and kissed her long and hard.
"NO!" Her head screamed.
She pulled away. He looked at her, bent down, picked her up,
and placed her on the bed. She tried to move off, but he grabbed her by the
waist. He pulled her under him and looked down at her.
"He is the same man!" she thought. "Van, where are you?"
He started to kiss her neck and undo the strings of her
dress.
"NO! Get off me!" she yelled.
He just continued on, moving lower.
Outside the room Van and Allen were walking by to get
Hitomi, when they heard a scream come from her room. They tried to open the
door, but it was locked.
"Damn it!" Van said. "Well, it looks like I going to have to
do this the hard way."
Then he kicked the door with all his might and it opened.
What Van saw made him want to kill Adiris even more. He was on top of her with
her top half way undone and he way kissing her chest as he undid the strings.
Hitomi looked over when see her the door break down. Adiris
looked up and gave a low growl.
"Van!"
"Hitomi!" Van yelled back, "get your slimy hand off her!"
Hiomi tried to get out of Airis's grip, but he held tight.
"I don't think so. You see, I have been waiting for this
moment for two years. I have seen he get passed from both of your hands and now
see is in mine. Yes, she was right when she thought that I was the one who took
her to the Dream World. But I always get what I want." He said evilily.
"Not this time!" Van yelled as he charged at Adiris.
Adiris jumped off Hitomi and dove for his sword on the
ground. Van beet him to it and had his sword at Adiris's throat. Mean while
Allen ran over and helped Hitomi off the bed because she was partly still in
shock of what had just started to happen and was tried from the yelling she had
been doing.
"I ought to kill you right here and now! You don't deserve to live!" Van spat at
Adiris.
"Van, no! Leave him alone. Lets just leave." Hitomi said
quietly.
"But…"
"Please?"
He nodded, went over to Adiris and punched him so he was knocked
out. Then he went over, picked up Hitomi, and concentrated.
"Please, take Allen, Van, and me back to Geae." Hitomi
pleaded in her mind.
Then like on cue the green light enveloped them and they
were gone.
