Eternal Darkness

Chapter Two

Eternity's Awakening

When Hitomi awoke, she was being dragged down the black marble hallway by her wrists. She hasn't felt this weak since she was at her friends rave party when the coke was spiked. Those were good times. She missed those times.

One of the soldiers was holing her wrist so tightly that it bruised. She yelped.

"What is the point on holding on to my wrist? I can walk you know! Or have your tiny brains forgotten that?"

Hitomi was asking for it this time. She felt it hard and fast across her scarred cheek. Shit! That hurt!

She didn't want to admit this, but once she did get rescued whom would she return to? Allen? Van? Both loved her deeply. Right now she really didn't want to think about that. She wanted to change the subject in her mind by asking stupid questions.

"Where am I going?"

God she felt stupid. She knew damn straight where she was going. The two homely guards were taking her to Dilly's room. Hee hee! Dilly was the nickname Hitomi gave Dilandau. A pet name.

Before she could ask any other stupid questions floating in her mind the guards threw her against the door. Waking Dilandau from his daydreaming. One of the guards spoke.

"Honestly, why does Lord Dilandau waste his time trying to seduce her? She isn't much of a catch."

Snarling at them Hitomi realized the door had opened behind her allowing her to fall backwards. Hitomi didn't feel like getting up. She was so drained yesterday when the Lord injected the poison into her fragile body. Or was it today? The poison was clouding her mind and she wasn't thinking straight.

Dilandau was glancing down at her with a drunken smile. His body was not very well balanced. He was swaying back and forth. He was drunk. Or at least he seemed to be. Anyways, Hitomi worried for him despite how many poison tipped needles he injected into her veins. He may be a bastard but usually evil people don't drink this much.

Dilandau's words were slurred as he spoke.

"C'mon, I can take you right now,"

Dilandau's hand tried to reach towards her chest but instead he fell to the floor. Hitomi jumped forward to catch him before he hurt himself badly on the hard black marble floor. Oh my. Hitomi thought. Poor Dilandau, what happened to him? Hitomi held Dilandau's head close to her chest. Hitomi almost dragged Dilandau across the floor to his queen sized bed. She felt his forehead. He was cold.

Carefully, Hitomi wrapped Dilandau in his blankets. That wouldn't be enough heat to keep his temperature about normal. Hitomi shrugged and hopped in bed beside him, cuddling with him as much as she could. He had to stay warm.

3:00am

Dilandau's eyelids fluttered opened. His head was pounding and the light that shone through the windows burned his eyes. Propping himself up on his shoulders, Dilandau got up with a groan.

"Wha?"

He felt a warm arm on his chest. Looking down, the hand appeared to be feminine. Long slender fingers with a soft delicate hand. His eyes traveled up the arm towards the face. He gasped, which seemed to hurt his head. It was Hitomi! It seems he got further than he thought. Wait, she was still fully clothed! And so was he! At that point Dilandau thought only one thing, why?

He watched her and a warm expression grew on his face. This feeling he felt was warm. Cuddling up beside her without thinking about his actions, Dilanadu fell asleep once again.
