Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ Always With You ❯ Chapter 24 ( Chapter 24 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Yeah so this is the last chapter of a love story written by a broken heart. During this story my first love Tom dumped me, I got him back, then he dumped me again, and was stolen away forever. It's been my birthday. My best friend has betrayed me, earned my trust, betrayed me again and now we are friends again although I am more cautious what I say. I went out with a druggie who stopped smoking for me because he really liked me, and I liked him which is why I dumped him because I felt that I was using him and he was better then that. I then got John, whom destroyed all I believed and thought, I thought that I had loved Tom, and that I still did a small bit, but it turned out the I never really loved Tom, truly in the first place. It turned uot the John could give me something that I didn't think was possible, more then love, more then inspiration, he gave me hope. And now that my light is gone I should go as well because without it I am nothing. But right now my only escape is here. And that is what I need. An escape. And even though John loves me no more, I still care for him, not just as a lost love, but a lost friend, he will still be in the sequal which I've already started because he deserves to be there more then anyone else. And I won't change in anyway the relationship he and Ray have because it is the relationship that I wish that we have no that I can never say "I love you" again to him.

Originally Ray was going to go back to earth and even though she loves Dilandau she and Tory would get back together, but they Tom dumped me so then I had to change the ending or people would think that I wanted him back, which by Chapter 15/20 I didn't anymore. So I hope that you like this ending more.

I write better when my emotions are high and my heart has just been broken. So you are all in for a treat, because I think that this is a good ending, tell me what YOU think.

Ray flew her guymelf next to Dilandau as they glided over battlefield below as Dilandau analyzed the field below.

Korin and his men were already there massacre the enemy who were without the power of guymelfs.

“Well that’s what they get from attacking Ziabach, did they not think that we would kill them?” Dilandau thought to himself aloud.

Ray watched as people fell to the giant beasts. One guymelf was careless though, a couple men had managed to scaled up it’s back and thrust their blades deep into the visor killing the soldier inside.

Ray knew she would have to be cautious, but more so she would watch over Dilandau to be sure that he would be safe.

“Ray?” She heard over the intercom.

“Yes?”

“Watch yourself out there.”

“Yeah, sure.” She said absently thinking only ‘I will watch you before I worry about myself.’

“Let’s get down there, Korin won’t get all of the fun.” Dilandau commanded over the COM unit.

Eager to please their Lord the Dragon Slayers dove, sweeping various weapons of liquid metal through the forces before landing.

Ray made sure that she stayed close to Dilandau’s red monster as they landed on the blood-drenched soil.

Dilandau lost all reason as the smell of blood filled his nose and the sound of dieing screams drowned out all other sound and the though of killing destroyed all other thoughts and emotions.

Ray made sure she kept all opposes out of Dilandau’s blind spot, but in her haste to protect him she forgot to protect herself. A huge spear hit her metal claw, the creator of her liquid metal weapons. The liquid spilled out over the ground drowning the fool soldiers who had dared near her.

Ray was suddenly defenceless in the need for a weapon so all the could do was crush those who opposed her.

She gave the spear no second thought, if she had she would have realized that it was liquid metal as it melted to the ground after doing the damage. It was so large that is could have only came from another melf. If she had turned to the right she would have see it. But she was busy defending herself.

But just because she didn’t see it, didn’t mean that everyone else was blind.

Dilandau was enraged. He brought the massacre to a new level in his desperation to finish the job, avenge Ray and see if she was ok.

The only thoughts in Dilandau’s mind as he killed weren’t of maddened joy; they were horror and a feeling that he was a traitor. ‘I could have stopped it. This is all my fault…if anything has happened to her…KORIN YOU WILL PAY!!!’ He swore in his mind glancing at the melf that had shot Ray.

In his haste and madness the enemy fell swiftly in a bloody killing spree. Dilandau finished only to see Ray’s melf kneeling in exhaustion. With it’s hatch open.

Dilandau’s red beast approached along with the other Dragon Slayers. The Demon Hunters gathered near by also exiting their melfs.

Dilandau rushed to Ray’s aid but found her nowhere. He looked up into the fallen beasts belly and there she was hanging by an arm. The mechanisms had crushed her arm until it was trapped.

Dilandau with the help of his men freed her carefully but they could not prevent the gash that reached from her shoulder to halfway between her elbow and wrist.

Dilandau lay her on the ground with her head in his lap.

“I’m so sorry.” He whispered as his men backed away so that they could keep the survivors of the enemy at bay.

“It’s ok Dilandau.” She whispered, then coughed. Blood trickled from her mouth which Dilandau quickly whipped away.

‘Not again.’ He thought as he felt her heart slow from his rapid beat and her eyelids drooped.

“Hey. Hey come on don’t go to sleep.” Dilandau whispered in a panic.

“But I’m tired.” She smiled.

“You’ll live. I promise.”

“I know Dilandau.”

“But not here.”

“WHAT!?” Ray tried to sit up but Dilandau kept her still.

“Look what happened to you because of me.”

“No, I was careless, it’s my fault…please don’t send me away, don’t send me back.” She whispered as a tear drifted down her face.

Dilandau whipped it away with his thumb and smiled weakly at her.

“You have to. You’ll be safer.”

“I don’t want to. I want to stay with you Dilandau, please. I love you.”

Dilandau was stunned. That was the first time she had said those words. “I love you too. And that is why you have to go. I don’t want to lose you…”

“Then why send me away!?” She felt more tears drift down her face.

“Because if you stay, people will try to use you against me, and they will be able to because I would do anything for you. I don’t want you to live in fear…”

“I have no fear.”

“But I do. I don’t want you to have to live this everyday!” He waved his hand to the bloody field.

“Don’t do this. Please. I need you.” She cried and buried her face in his shoulder

“Ray. Ray look at me.” He tilted her chin and kissed her lips.

“Please…” She begged.

“I will always be with you.” He captured her lips once more. But as they pulled apart she was pulled further then he would have liked. He captured her hand as she was pulled up by the light that had encased them.

“I love you.” They whispered together kissing once more then the light claimed her. Pulling her out of his life. Forever.

“Dilandau we must kill the survivors.” Korin snapped as the younger general turned away from the field of blood and flame towards the clear with his men.

“Dilandau! You cannot leave!” Korin yelled beginning to draw his blade.

But before the blade was fully a threat Korin released it and stood there a look of shock over his face. There stood Dilandau his blade drawn and soaked in the blood of his rival. Korin’s body fell and his head rolled off to the side.

Dilandau then turned away from the war, the guymelfs, and Ziabach, followed by his men to freedom.

Dilandau still could not see the faces though, and he knew that it was the thought that maybe, just maybe, one day he would see his love again one day.
