Chapter 1: Loneliness

I went back home after my adventures with Van and everyone on Gaea. I didn't want to leave. Van and I had gotten so close. I fell in love. I knew that we could never be. He is King of Fanelia; I am just some outsider from the Blue Star. So I went home; I didn't want to leave.

I went back as soon as I could, just to have my life back home shatter in moments. My family is no more due to a fatal car accident. My friends Yukari and Amano don't live here anymore. I have lost contact with them. My heart is broken. I have no one left; I am truly alone.

I found a letter from my mother. It says this:

My dear Hitomi:

By the time you read this, we will be gone. We knew we were going to die before you came back, but we were not sad. I am happy to have lived to watch you grow into a young and beautiful woman. I know you will miss us, but be strong, my daughter.

My baby girl, I have something important to tell you. You are not fully human. You are a Celestial angel, or at least half. I was a Celestial angel on Gaea. We came here for some peace from the pain that we went through on Gaea. I am so sorry that I didn't tell you this before.

Your abilities should have begun to develop by now. You have mostly psychic abilities, which is why you're so good at tarot reading. Go back to Gaea and train over there. Watch over the ones you care for, especially the one you love.

Love always, Mom

I returned to Gaea. It's been a year since I've come. I am able to control my powers with ease. I can fly; move objects with my mind; I can create and control psychokinetic blast; most of all, I dream. I often dream of him.

I am doing what Mother has asked me to do. I am always there, watching. I never let them know I'm here. It hurts so much to see them living peacefully, while I am just watching...watching over them.

I watch Merle; I watch Allen and Celena; I watch Dryden and Millerna; most of all, I watch him. I watch him as he laughs; I watch him as he cries; I watch him as he sleeps; I watch him because I have to. It's my duty to watch him, make sure he's alright.

I enter his room, and sit by his bed. He is sleeping. I watch him as he sleeps, his beautiful face shining in the moonlight. back to me..." I gasped as he whispered my name. I kissed his brow. "I will always be watching you, my angel," I whispered as I rose and went out to the balcony.

A howling is heard in the distance. Evil is fast approaching. I listen, but the sky's silent, silent as stars. I look back to the window, to Van. I hope you're ready for this Van; I hope we all are. I jumped off the balcony, and flew into the air. Into the night, the darkness that comforts me.

darkinuyami: Well, what do you think? I think it's all right. Read and review, so I can put up the next chapter. Do that also for my other stories. :)
