Chapter Three
The Possession
The next day things were quiet Van has gone into Hitomi's room she was still asleep when she opened her eyes they were met bye Van's eyes.
"Hitomi are you alright?" Van asked giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"Van what happened?" She asked him putting her hand on her head as if in pain.
"You don't remember?" He said worried she shook her head to his question. Van then explained to her what had happened to her then she remembered the figure with blood flowing form it.
"Hitomi what did you see?" He asked her understandingly.
"Well first I was pulled under the water then as I tried to get back to the surface there was blood all around me then as I got closer to the surface I saw a figure there was blood flowing out it, it then reached for me and that's when I got to the top and screamed I stood up to get out then everything went black." She told him almost shaking from the memory. Van realized that she had no idea that Allen had rushed into the room seeing her naked he thought it best not to say anything right now.
"Hitomi, when were you going to tell me that you were Draconian?" Van asked her looking out the window near bye.
"Van I really didn't see why I had to tell you I mean I didn't even know till that night I came back and …." She stopped in her words.
"Saving my life by giving up apart of you, giving me your Draconian soul." Van said to her watching her mouth drop.
"How did you know?" She questioned.
"Allen told me only after I yelled at him to tell me everything that happened after Merle opened her mouth about it." Van said with a smile on his face this woman before him would give up anything for him he thought about it and he knew that she would give her life for his and that thought scared him for he wanted nothing to happen to her.
Hitomi then moved to get out of bed while Van's thoughts were else where.
Her slender body could be seen through the night dress the maids had put on her white silk.
"So Hitomi do you know why we were all able to see the blood this time?" Van asked her worried about her. Hitomi thought about it and he could tell she was thinking the same as Merle it was the only explanation they could think of.
"Hitomi I told Allen that I asked you to marry me and told you said yes but he said something that puzzled me, he said that you agreed to marry me but with a hesitation how would he know that he was no where around and I know you didn't speak with him at all that morning otherwise he would have know I asked you." Van said to her and he watched her eyes close.
"Van I don't know how he knew but my hesitation when you asked me had nothing to do with him it had to do with the fact that maybe I might not get to stay here look Van I fear that something is going to happen here again and I cant control my visions it seems." She said to him. Van realized then that she her self had no idea why she had thought about saying no to him even though the reasons she spoke were good ones. He also saw a fear in her he had never seen during the destiny war yes she was scared but there was boldness about her now he saw a different fear one that he couldn't pin point.
Three weeks went bye and nothing quite happened everything was quiet and Hitomi seemed to be enjoying herself for the most part and she had not had a vision since which to Van was a good sign.
Another month went bye one more and the two would be married they couldn't wait all of Gaea was invited to the wedding.
Two weeks to go till the big day and Van had to go out of the country on business to renegotiate a treaty with the country of Galleon which was said to ghostly like at times.
Hitomi ate her dinner that evening awaiting Van's return the letter she received said he would be back in two days plenty of time before their wedding she wasn't watching how much she had to drink that night because she was distracted by thinking about Van she in turn had to much to drink which left Allen to help her to her room she leaned against the wall while Allen opened her door she then stumbled and fell into his arms he then helped her to her bed she tripped over something on the floor she had left near the bed bringing the tow of them tumbling down onto the bed Allen on top of her he got up off of her gently apologizing to her he noticed that her eyes were shut then he looked around the door had shut behind them it was dark with enough moon light to see he looked back down at Hitomi then he had a feeling come over him he leaned down and kissed her lips with out question to who was kissing her Hitomi kissed back the kiss deepened and things got more heated between them he started to take her close off as she did his he felt her flesh against his then snapped back to reality shacking his head he then looked at Hitomi he saw he lying there on the bed the feeling returned he shook it off.
"This is wrong so wrong, why and what is this feeling. Hitomi isn't even aware of what is going on it's like some one is controlling us some how." He said getting up off of Hitomi he cared for her to much to do this to her she was his friend along with Van he would not betray either of them he then placed Hitomi in the covers tucking her in and quickly left the room he then leaned against the door for a moment letting out a sigh holding his head as a throbbing head ache closed in.
"What the heck was that what's wrong with me?" He said quietly to himself.
"Allen are you alright?" Merle said walking up to him curious.
"Merle it's you? No I'm not I'm not feeling well I think I'm going to go to my room now." Allen Said to her then walked away down the hall still holding his head.
"That's odd I've never known Allen to be ill ever he's always on top of things even when it comes to the common cold." She said as she watched him stumble to his room worried.
Two days had gone bye and Van had returned Hitomi was there to greet him along with Merle.
"Hey where is Allen I thought he'd be here to meet me as well I have things that I need to discuss with him." Van asked the girls who just looked at each other.
"Is something wrong?" He asked.
"No one has seen him in two days." Hitomi said rather disturbed.
"He told me the other night that he wasn't feeling well and he went to his room and we haven't seen him since" Merle said to Van also a little worried.
"Really." Van said worried now him self.
"Van he didn't look good at all the other night and he's never sick you know that." Merle whined at Van taking his arm.
"Let's go see if he's alright then shall we." Van said as they all headed back to the castle.
Van knocked on Allen's door there was no answer so Van took a spear key out of his pocket and put it in the lock when the door opened he saw Allen looking out his window.
Van had told the girls that maybe he should go alone to check on him.
"Allen I heard you weren't feeling well so I thought that I would check on you."
Van said looking at his friend.
"You didn't have to check on me Van." Allen spoke to him as he leaned against his window sill.
"You're my friend Allen why wouldn't I you are never sick." Van said to him walking closer to him.
"Van I think I want to return to Austuria for a while if that's alright with you." Allen wouldn't look him in the eye how could he after what he almost did.
"Allen this isn't like you at all what is wrong with you?" Van demanded to know.
"Look Van I think it would be best if I went home for a while." Allen said closing his eyes.
Van sensed tears in the night but why what could have happened to make him like this.
"Allen you can tell me what is bothering you this bad to want to make you go home you know I'm going to need you in the up coming week." He asked the knight who still was looking else where.
"Van I don't deserve to be your friend something happened the other night it was strange it was like I had no control over myself…" Allen stopped for a moment as he ran his hands through his hair.
"Allen this must have been bad you're shaking." Then Van saw the tears fall on the sill something he had never saw before the gallant knight that he looked up to was crumbling right before him this was worrying Van badly.
"Van it was like some one was inside of me I can still feel this person, and what they made me try to do was unforgivable. I had walked Hitomi to her room she had had way too much to drink I helped her to her bed." Allen kept talking and Van was not enjoying what he was hearing but something inside of him said he was telling the truth.
"Allen I believe you." Van said to the man who was crying as he had been talking.
"Van you know I respect you to much to do a thing like this even if I so still carry feelings for her I would never do a thing like that Van I would never take advantage of any woman." Van stood there and thought for a moment something strange was going on but what and who was it that Allen could feel inside of him.
"Allen maybe Hitomi could tell us what is going on? First her odd vision then this thing with you they have to be connected." Van said to him as he put his hand on his friends shoulder.
