Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ Dreams Come True ❯ Chapter Fifteen: Dreams Pt. 2 ( Chapter 15 )

Chapter Fifteen

Three weeks have past it is now the week before the wedding. Most of the preparations were set for the wedding.

I went back to the Mystic moon to pick up the rest of my things. I spent the day with Yukari.

I was having cold feet I was starting to question if marrying Van was the right thing to do. Everyone including myself kept on reassuring me that this is the best thing to do.

Melerna came over for the day

"It's going to be okay Hitomi, its just cold feet everyone get that before they get married."

"I know that this is the right thing to do."

"Why don't you do a tarot reading? It has always worked in the past maybe this will ease your mind."

"I guess I could try, I haven't done it in a while but why not, and it can't do any harm."

I sat down at the dining room table with Malerna. And I took out my box of tarot cards. I took the cards out of the box.

"Alright here I go."

I place the cards on the table and I read them. I was shocked I couldn't believe what the cards were telling me.

Melerna could tell something was wrong by the look on my face, "what's wrong Hitomi? What do the cards say?"

"It's the cards. They are telling me that this marriage is all wrong. This marriage will bring me nothing but loneliness and pain. I see jealousy, heartache, and….and death."

"Death…who?"

"I don't know." I start crying.

"Are you sure this marriage is all wrong?"

"The cards have never been wrong. I don't want someone I love die because of this marriage, I love Van but I don't know if I can go through with it if the cards are right."

"Oh Hitomi I don't know what to tell you," Melerna tried to comfort me, by holding me.

Van walked by the door and saw that I was crying.

"Hitomi, what's wrong?" He walked up to me, Malerna let me go and I got up and hugged my fiancée.

"She's just getting cold feet everything will be okay."

"Cold feet? Hitomi you know I love you with all my soul, I want to wake up with you every morning and go to bed with you for the rest of my life."

"I love you too van. Everything will be alright." Maybe for once the cards are wrong, I haven't used them in such a long time. I hope they're wrong.

"If you two will excuse me I think I will go lay down for a while I'm a little tiered."

"Oh course Hitomi." I left the room and made it back to my room. I closed the door and closed the curtains until the only light was the light of the lamp by my bed.

"What if this marriage is wrong I don't want anyone to die?" Maybe I'm just overreacting maybe things will be better after a rest.

I laid down on my bed and fell asleep.

~*~*~

It was dark as night, but not silent. In the distance I hear the sound of a sword battle.

I see a shadow figure jump down ready to slam the sword blade down. I couldn't recognise the shadow. Just as I see the shadow bring the sword down I see Van he blocks the sword with all his might and throws it off. Van and the shadow were fighting and it looks like to the death.

I take a close look at Van; he has a gold ban on his finger. Could…could this be what fate has for me if Van and I marry…no. It looked like an even match and it wouldn't stop.

"Van stop this…stop the fighting." My voice was lost they couldn't here him.

I tried running to him "Van stop this." This time my voice was herd.

He looks at me, "Hitomi…" just as van spoke the shadows sword stabs him in the chest and rips out the sword. Van collapses to the ground.

I rush to his side. "Van…Van don't leave me." But Vans blood-soaked body disappeared in faded away, and so did the shadow. Then I saw everyone I cared about all in one group. They were looking at me; my cloths were covered in Van's blood. All the people in the group turned their head away from me and walked away "Good-bye Hitomi." They disappeared into the darkness.

I was left alone, in the cold dark.

"Is this a vision, it cant be. This can't be what fate has in store for me, for Van if we go through with this marriage."

~*~*~

I woke up in a cold sweat. "I'm starting to believe this marriage is wrong. There is someone I need to talk to."

It was already one and everyone in the palace except for a few guards had gone to sleep.

I wrote a note to Van and placed it on my nightstand.

I slipped out my balcony and made my way to the stables so I wont be noticed. I didn't want anyone following me. This is something I had to do alone. I got to the stables and got Kira ready to leave. It would take me hours to get there; I was too freaked out to think the whole thing out.

I raced Kira out of Fanelia going faster and faster
