Between this and The Day you Saw me...I'm going to probably put more time into the later so updates for this might be slower.
But please feel free to check out my other stories
There he sat, calm and collected on my bed. The nerve of some people! I opened up my mouth to yell but then I remembered how my father was still sleeping. I panicked, not knowing what he would think if he woke up seeing me in a towel and a boy on my bed.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Coming into my house...my room uninvited." I whispered in a vicious tone, "God, do you know how much shit I'm going to be in if my father sees you here while I'm half naked?"
His smug expression turned to that of a serious one. "A pretty girl such as yourself shouldn't use such language...it taints your purity and worth. If I wanted a vulgar woman to save my home land I would have just gone to the local whorehouse."
I blinked in confusion, my cheeks flushing with rage and frustration. I thought hard, trying to calm down while slowly shutting the door, "Look, I don't know what is going on here and I'm sure I don't care. Your planet, your problems...besides I'm a teenage girl with a full set of her own things to worry about."
His face contorted in a mix of grief and anger as he stood up. He then walked towards me, "Of all the selfish people I have met, I would have hoped you were different. I hoped you would have been like your mother! And if you don't care enough about my world to know that yours would be next then I guess you deserve to die! I was told to come get you and I intend to carry out my mission."
His hand shot out to grab me but I collapsed to the ground and brought my knees to my chin. I began to sob like a child, "PLEASE! Don't hurt me...I don't know what you want...I'll do what you want, just...don't hurt me!" His hand backed away from me, his eyes were clouded with fear.
"So, your not selfish...your just terrified. You really don't now what's going on do you? Of course you wouldn't, the mysterious moon is too secluded from us. I always forget that you can't see us." He sighed deeply, putting his strong arms around my body. I cringed away from his touch but he picked me up anyway, he gently placed me on my bed, taking a seat beside me.
"25 years ago there was a war on Gaia, a girl...my mother came from the mystic moon. She and my father, the King of Fanelia, fought the Zaibach Empire with the use of the god of destruction Escaflowne. I am Aiden Slanzar de Fanel, I have already slain a dragon claiming my right to the throne as future king, but there is one thing missing from me gaining control of Esaflowne. I need you...I don't even know your name but I know you have the power I need to control Esaflowne. Just like my father did 25 years ago. You have an amazing power, my mother sensed it, it resonates from deep within you. You have the potential to become the most powerful being on Gaia, the blood of the Atlantians is strong within you, even I can feel it.
I paused for a moment trying to soak it all in, I was just so confused, I didn't know what to do or what to think. I wanted to believe him but it just sounded so unreal. "My name is Naomi...and I want to help you," my eyes were cast down at the floor, I admitted defeat. I would give in, I would go where he wanted to take me. I had no choice but to go, as far as he's concerned I was going whether I wanted to or not. I looked up and saw hope in his eyes they were rimmed with tears but I saw no sorrow or remorse in his expression.
"You don't know how much this means to me...no, to Gaia. You will give us a second chance, I-I'm sorry about scaring you, and saying what I said earlier. Thanks to you we may just have a chance against Him. I will make sure when we reach Fanelia you will be treated like royalty, you will have free roam of the city and the Castle. ANYTHING you want will be yours. The sacrifice your making is too great for me to give any less." He wiped his eyes and taking my hands in his he placed a gentle kiss upon my hand.
"Wh-what do you mean sacrifice?" my eyes closed, reprimanding myself for agreeing to something out of pity and not even considering what I would be getting myself into.
His eyes opened looking straight into mine, his smile fading and the look of sorrow swept his face like the shadow of death. "There is a very good chance that once you come to Gaia you will never be able to return. If you need time to think over your choice and get ready I suggest you do so...I will come back tomorrow at noon."
He began to fade in a brilliant pink light and suddenly he was gone. I never felt so alone, I never felt so...empty. I fell to the floor sobbing wildly just as thunder ripped through the sky and my dark room was lip up with a brilliant flash. I lay on my back crying, I felt the softness of my carpet beneath my fingers and the smell of my perfume hung lightly in the air. I took it all in, the smell of jasmine calming me slightly. I thought hard of what I was going to do, the sound of pouring rain and thunder drowning out all other noises except my heartbeat.
"I'm not selfish," I said softly to myself.
In my heart I wanted to go, I wanted to be somebody. I didn't want to be JUST some girl from Japan, someone that no one would remember. But I had everything here, I had a good family and good friends, everything I wanted was here.
"I'm not selfish," I said again feeling the tears fall across my face. "You're the one who is selfish." I knew if I left that both my mother and father would be crushed. I knew I would be missed by my friends.
I wiped the tears from my eyes and stood up. I heard the front door opening and my mother and father talking; my father was going on another business trip. I looked around, still in shock. I looked at my alarm clock and was surprised at what time it was. I swore silently at myself for spending the whole day crying. "7:32 already...I'm pathetic."
I crawled into bed thinking to myself that doing anything would be useless, I wasted the day anyway. I heard my mother coming up the stairs, she opened my door and smiled at me.
"How are doing sweetie? Still felling sick?" She smiled sweetly at me but I could tell she was exhausted.
"I'm fine mom," I said quietly as I smiled back at her, "I'm just a little tired."
She nodded slightly, turned around and shut the door. I rolled over and began to cry again.
I breathed into the pillow, feeling it get wet with tears. I pushed myself up to breathe and wipe the tears from my face, the rain still pouring down.
"I love you..both of you. Mom, dad...I'm sorry." I whispered softly into the pillow.
I felt sleep begin to take over, I was getting tired either from all the crying or the thinking. I listened quietly to the soft, steady fall of the rain. It was hypnotic and was making the thought of sleep that much sweeter, my last thought before I finally slipped was how much I wished I could tell my parents that I loved them.
I dreamed that night...I dreamed of a World, engulfed in flames and darkness. I felt fear within myself until I saw Him. It was Aiden and he was looking straight at me, the look of hope in his eyes even as the shadows surrounded him, ripping at his flesh. He just smiled at me, his blue eyes piercing into my soul, I couldn't help but gasp. He reached his hands out towards me as I saw dark, shadowy hands reaching towards him. He yelled in pain and looked to me, his eyes filled with anguish, but I was so frightened all I could do was stand and stare.
"Only you can save this world...save me Naomi...please."
"I-I can't, I'm not strong enough," I whimpered slightly my eyes beginning to well with tears.
"Then take my strength...and that of all whom believe in you."
I immediately stopped crying as wings...brilliant white wings shot out from his back and he broke through the darkness that held him. He flew towards me, embracing me in his strong arms.
"Let me be your strength, Naomi."
I felt my heart pounding in my chest, I couldn't breathe, I was to shocked. Why was I dreaming about this. As if speaking with out my control I murmured softly to him, "I thought you hated me?" He looked at me a smiled, "I could never hate you...everyone needs you. I need you."
I had to fight to breathe as the blazing light began to take over the shadows. At first the white light came from us but it spread, drowning out the darkness and finally it was so bright I could no longer see. When I opened my eyes again the bright sun was in my face.
