~*~ Left Behind~*~
*Dreaming, dreaming so peacefully. Suddenly I appear in a field of lush wildflowers, vibrant blue, red, and violet orchids stare at me. A young boy chases after me, bright amber eyes laughter clear as a bubbling brook. WeÕre running and tumbling in the grass. We roll and roll.Õ *
The storm outside is intensifying.
*I stop to catch my breath, laying in the bright green cannabis. The boy keeps rolling, rolling, rolling. Snap! Crack! Blood, blood all over. I scream.*
I scream.

A hoarse scream echoes through the house. Footsteps on the stairs. Marie and Van burst into the bedroom. The find Hitomi on the floor shaking desperately.
ÒWh - where am I?Ó The young woman asks meekly.
ÒHitomi, Hitomi, its me aunt Marie. YouÕre in youÕre new home, remember?Ó
Van watches darkly fromt he doorway. The shadows deepening his sharp features. Worry spreads over his face, disappearing into the light of the glowing hallway.
ÒIt was just a dream, honey. Just a dream.Ó Marie continues soothing Hitomi.
A sudden flash of anger washes through Hitomi, *How can I be so weak? It was just a bad dream and a storm - Oh but I hate storms. O.o*
ÒVan, go get her some hot cocoa.Ó - Focusing back on Hitomi, ÒDo you think you can come downstairs?Ó
ÒI still feel a little groggy,Ó Hitomi looks into MarieÕs hopeful eyes, Òbut sure, I guess.Ó Both women smiled nervously.

ÒUgh!Ó Van slapped his hand forcefully on the kitchen table. Wincing as pain surged into his shoulder. *Why do I care so much? ItÕs just a girl. A little cry-baby girl like all the other ones IÕve ever met. - Then why am I so afraid? IÕm scared to be in the same room with her, or any one else....*
Van picks up a mug of hot chocolate and carries it into the living room.

Like, no like, review please! I know my chapters are short, but I just write when somethings come to me, yÕknow. Any ways hope you like it. By the way, neither Hitomi, or Van really remember each other, and Marie doesn't want to hurt either of them.
