Don't Leave Me Yet
Van Fanell sat on his castles roof, staring aimlessly at the dark star-filled night. His face was void of any emotion. But looks can be decieving. Van was hurting over the absence of his love, Hitomi, and longed to see her. But that was close to impossible. As he looked down towards the city of Fanelia, he prided himself over how much work he had done to bring it back to it's original glory. The city looked quite peaceful, as if no war had ever taken place. Van almost wished that the war had never happened. But no, he would never say that out loud, because if it hadn't been for the war, he would never have met and fallen in love with Hitomi Kanzaki. She was the miracle that helped end this war, and the miracle who saved his life from utter darkness. It made him shudder to think how he would have ended up if he hadn't met the emerald eyed beauty.
Van stretched out his legs, and started playing with the pendant Hitomi had given him before she had left. Having the pendant around his neck had always made Van feel loved and safe. This little piece of jewlery was the only thing he had left of his precious beloved, and he wasn't going to part with it anytime soon. The kingdoms advisors had spoken to Van about marrying one of the princesses from the nearby kingdoms, but Van was appaled by that idea. He could not think of marrying anyone except Hitomi. Although, Van could probably have any other woman in the land because he had become quite handsome. His eyes were a dark chocolate colour, he had grown a whole foot taller, and his body was tanned and muscular. His hair was still the same length but was shinnier than before. Van had everything, but all he ever wanted was Hitomi.
This past week, Van had been busy with making arrangements for the wedding of his long-time friend Merle. Although he knew that organizing weddings were usually the job of the brides, he couldn't care less. A small smile played upon his face, as he thought about Merle. Van knew that she had a crush on him when they were in the war, and was heartbroken when he told her that he loved Hitomi. So the thought of her marrying someone who could truly care for her in every possible, lifted his heart. And of course, he'd send Merle and her new found love, Aryan, off to a tropical island for them to relax, while he took care of the details for the wedding. It was the least he could do, after all, before he met Hitomi, Merle was the only true friend in his life.
"Oh Hitomi, when will I be able to see your beautiful face again?" Van whispered into the wind. " Do you even love me anymore?" Van often asked himself questions like these, but no answer ever came." I love you Hitomi."
Suddenly, the pink pendant around Van's neck began to glow blindingly bright. Images were flashing through his head, images of Hitomi.What could she possibly doing with that knife? Van wondered. Then he understood what was happening, he knew what she abou to do. Without another thought, he sprouted his wings and flew upwards towards the sky, and vanished in a burst of pink light.
When Van re-opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful young girl. His beautiful girl, about to do something that would ruin his life forever. So he quickly knocked the knife out of her hands, and watched her silently. Hitomi looked up at him, and made his heart melt. Van had never seen so much despair and beauty. He slowly wrapped his arms around her, breathing in her intoxicating scent.
"I love you...please don't leave me yet"
Hey people!
I decided to write this chapter about Van, and the next chapter will probably be with them talking about their relationship and everything. The next chapter will have more dialogue, and will probably be posted by the end of next week.
