HI! This is my first fanfiction and I hope you all like it!
Anyway, let´s start with the usual:
DISCLAIMER: Okay, I´m just going to say it ONCE, so pay attention: I DO NOT OWN ESCAFLOWNE´S CHARACTERS (although I wish I would...).
READY! Here we go:
"Goodbye, Van. I´ll always remember you..."
"Hitomi..."
And then she was gone...
He had lost her. And that was the biggest mistake he had ever done in all his relatively short life...
THE VISION OF ESCAFLOWNE
A NEW BEGINNING
CHAPTER 1: Broken heartHitomi Kanzaki was turning 18 years old today, but she didn´t feel happy. She sat in front of her desk, her gaze outside the window fixed in nothing in particular. But her mind... yeah, her mind was thousands of miles from there. In Gaea. In Fanelia...
With him.
A tear rolled and fell from her cheek, splashing on the open book that layed in front of her.
A knock sounded on her door. "Hitomi, sweetie, may I come in?"
"Yeah, mom" Hitomi wipped away her tears and tried to smile as she turned to face her mother. "What can I help you with?"
"Well, Yukari called a moment ago. I called you, but you didn´t answer me, so I came to see if you´re alright."
"Yeah, I was just thinking... I guess I got too lost in thought, uh?" She smiled weakily, tears threatening to fall once again.
"Hitomi..." Her mother looked at her eyes and was amazed by the deep sadness she saw there. What is happening to you? She sat on the bed facing her daughter "Honey, you´ve not been the same since that incident 3 years ago." She reached for her daughter´s face, placing a hand on her still wet cheek and smiled weakily "Where´s my cheerful girl? I remember you used to joke all the time, and now you seem sad all day long..."
"It´s nothing..." Hitomi turned her face to her side, gazing outside again At least nothing you can help me with. No one in this whole planet can help me.
"C´mon, Hitomi. I know something´s wrong... Please tell me."
"I... I just... I miss him..." The last part was barely audible, as Hitomi whispered her entire answer.
"Him?" Her mother frowned "You mean... that boy from the other world?"
"His name is Van, I´ve already told you before, so please don´t call him like that."
"Okay... Van then" Her mother sighed deeply. "Hitomi, you must let go from those memories... I know it´s painful, but you must keep on going with your life." Hitomi flinched. Her mother smiled full of empathy. "Your grandmother had to do the same. I know you will also be able to. You´re strong enough, and have family and friends you can rely on if needed be..."
Let go of my memories? I can´t... I don´t want to... I know it´s selfish, but I love him so much. I can´t just say "Oh, well, I will fall for someone else and forget about Van." It´s not that simple. Don´t you understand, mom? I don´t think I would be able to be happy here. Not without him in my life. "I´ll try" she answered instead, not wanting to continue hearing her mother´s well-intended, but needless words. "I need to be alone right now, mom. Do you mind?" Hitomi turned to face her, a slight smile touching her lips.
Her mother sighed. It was obvious Hitomi still needed time... But how many more time?It´s already been 3 years. I think we should consult an specialist... but how can I explain my daughter´s situation? Robots, other worlds, princes... It´s just too much. "Sure, don´t worry" She lifted from her position in the bed and kissed her daughter´s forehead. "Just remember Yukari is coming this evening to celebrate your birthday" She started for the exit I need to do something, before my daughter becomes insane with all the sadness contained inside her...
"Yeah, I´ll remember..."
Hitomi´s mother opened the door and turned to see her daughter only to find her gazing outside her window again...
