Blood moon remake: enjoy!
Soaked in perspiration Hitomi threw the blankets to the floor, proceeding to the door and into the hallway. The hallway remained dark and silent not a single whisper seem to carry in the air.
"Hello" Hitomi called silently down the corridor.
'Maybe they're all sleeping still' Hitomi considered that it may be possible because it was still dark outside. As she continued along to the staircase things seemed somehow different then they used to be the night before. Hitomi stepped down to the first step and was scared senseless when a light came on as she came down to the next step. The lights continued to light up as she stepped down to a new step, but as she reached the next floor even more lights had lighted up the corridors. This was like a dream only how could it be if she just woke up from a nightmare.
Hitomi wondered to Van's room and cracked the door open the slightest so she could see the bed. Someone seemed to occupy it but what if it wasn't Van. Hitomi came into the dimmed room and right up to the four-post bed where the person lay. Hitomi had to know if it was Van and if he was okay or not, this thought ate through her like acid. She reached a shaky hand toward the end of the blanket..'closer...closer...almost...closer...grip it' she thought to herself as her hand barely touched the blanket. The blanket flung up at her, she screamed in terror as the figure rose from the bed walking toward her with its sword being drawn from its sheath. Dilandau smiled and walked toward her. As he raised his sword everything suddenly stopped. Everything faded into the darkness of the night where the glow of the fire was dim. Again Hitomi awoke from another dream or a dream in a dream. She reached her hand toward the fire and felt the sudden heat that nearly burned her, definitely not a dream.
Hitomi got up and silently slipped past Merle and Gaddess and Van. As she closed her eyes and tried to rub the sleep out of them someone grabbed her from behind, his arm around her waist and the other holding a cloth over her mouth and nose he dragged her backwards into the woods. Hitomi tried to scream but he clamped it shut with the cloth and his hand. She slowly started to get a little weaker from lack of oxygen; she tried to get a breath but the cloth over her nose and mouth smelled like nail polish remover but with a hint of rum. And then she realized it was just like the movies back home they knock you out by suffocating you until you pass out from the stuff in the rag over your face. Hitomi continued to struggle now that her fear had sky rocketed but it was no use she was starting to slip away back into the darkness.
When she woke up from her drugged sleep she could only see foggy versions of everything. But she knew where she was immediately when she felt no ground beneath her feet and the familiar grip of a guymelef hand but it wasn't Escaflowne it was one of those invisible ones.
As the guymelef headed towards the Vione the wind whipped around them, Hitomi got colder longer they flew. Soon she began to shiver noticeably, in her mind she whispered to herself 'I'm sorry Van'. The Vione seemed so much bigger than it did from the ground in Hitomi's view. The guymelef settled in the hanger and Dilandau and Hitomi were set down near the second hanger as the door closed behind the guymelef.
"Come now, your going to see Lord Folken" He grabbed hold of her arm in a firm grip and dragged her a step behind him to a chamber near the top of the vione.
"Your pathetic" Hitomi whispered.
"What did you say" He tightened his grip. "Forget it"
As they entered the room it was dark and hollow, the room seem to light itself and the floor looked like the sky. Dilandau pushed Hitomi ahead of him into a spotlight near the middle of the room. Close to that light was a man sitting, half of his face shadowed by darkness he snapped a hand.
"Dilandau leave now" Folken said rather arrogantly. Dilandau smirked then backed out of the room.
"I'm sorry for his rudeness uh..What it is your name"?
"That's something you don't need to know" Hitomi replied.
"Well maybe that's true and let me introduce myself I am Lord.."
"Folken, but your no lord in my eyes" Hitomi finished his sentence quite well.
Folken stood up out of his chair and moved out of the shadows into the light that surrounded Hitomi, being much taller he glared down at her with murderous eyes. His facial expression almost made him look mechanical like he was a robot.
"I don't seem to get how Van could actually put up with you wench" Folken grinned in his robot like way.
"Wench...I see you've studied for this conversation" Hitomi took a slow step back.
"Actually yes" He said, he crossed his arms behind him and started circling Hitomi in a circle. " You have no idea whets happening and so far you still can't figure out how you got here from the mystic moon or as you call Earth, you are stubborn and arrogant, you don't listen to anyone, and as you grow closer to Van you still don't see that your the reason for his sorrow.
" Well your the one who betrayed his country his people and most of his family, your the one who destroyed Van's happiness in the first place, you ran away from your family and Fanelia. Not only did you take away his happiness but you took away your mother's too she went looking for you and after that Van an watched the days go by as she slowly faded away. Its your fault because your a coward!"
" Coward.." Folken was filled with fury but his expression faded to a smile. Faded to a smile. "Soon you'll see things my way and Van will too."
Folken slammed the door behind her. He'd thrown her into a room, which looked like a guest room more than a dungeon. After he pushed her into the room then locked it, Hitomi walked around the room examining where she was going to be for now. To her surprise it was a rather fancy room with a desk, a small vanity desk with a mirror, and a bed but it was all decorated in dark blue and black. And the closet that she opened was full of clothes for a lady.
"So I guess he had this all planned out then" Hitomi sat down on the bed which was silky and soft. As soon as Hitomi laid her head on her pillow she was asleep but a vision was in hand.
It was dark and she was in the forest, fog covered the bottom and the tree tope seemed as though they were getting taller and taller by the minute. Hitomi started walking forward towards a clearing that was off in the distance, when she was within a decent range she saw them...everyone. She saw Allen, Van, Millerna, Merle, Dryden; everyone was surrounded by guymelefs and dragon slayers.
" What's going on" Hitomi whispered.
The sky turned black and red like ashes and blood, the trees were on fire and everything seemed engulfed in flames. The guymelefs melted to nothing and the dragon slayers disappeared. Then so did all of her friends, one by one their lifeless bodies fell to the ground their eyes pleading for someone to save them. Everything went black and she couldn't see a thing but she could hear everything going on, she heard screams and people crying out in pain. And then there was Merle:
"Hitomi, why" Her voice faded away.
"I trusted you Hitomi" Allen's voice came and left.
"Hitomi, what have you done" Millerna's voice was full of tears and sadness.
"Hitomi...Hitomi...Hitomi" She heard all their voices echoing in her head.
"Stop it...I tried...What's going on" Hitomi cried out into the darkness.
Hitomi opened her eyes just as she felt herself leaning over the rail of the balcony; she lost her footing and fell. Her arms shielding her head, she was falling.
Van and the others:
"God what the hell is going on" Van slammed his fist into a tree.
"Well its obvious where they took her but we don't know if they've moved or not" Allen leaned against a tree with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Oh my god... how could I have been so stupid" Gaddess got up from his spot next to the fire.
"What" they all asked.
" Their plan of attack, they wait for us to get comfortable then they surprise us by luring Hitomi away from the camp while we were off guard...they get Hitomi and take off" Gaddess said his tone resigned.
" Buts that's so simple it's like child play, how come we didn't come up with something like that?" Allen complained.
"Because we weren't expecting it" Van said as he ran for Escaflowne. Behind Van Allen prepped Sherazade and followed. The packed up and sat waiting. Soon there would be battle and they needed to be ready.
Please tell me that it's at least a little better! And please keep reviewing I need the feedback good or not.
