Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ Following Jupiter ❯ Bring me to life ( Chapter 8 )
Chapter 6
Bring me to life
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb?
Without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become

The first thing that Leaunna was to do was to find a bathroom, that took her a while to find it but when she did it was a sweet relief. She searched through the whole base and Dilandau's statement was right, there was no way out of here.
`I need sunlight' she thought as she walked down the empty corridor now looking for something to eat, and if she couldn't find that, someone to bug. She was bored out of her mind and needed to exercise it.
`Okay, think of names from a to z… hmm A, Alex, B, Beth, C, hmmm Caitlin, D… Dilandau?' she shrugged, `E, Elijah, F……… oh this is sooooo stupid why am I doing this' she shoved her hand into half torn pockets and tried to open the next door but it just wouldn't respond to her movement. She shrugged it off and then left.
Leaunna decided to have a bath to ease her mind and body. She slowly found her way back to the bathroom where she went and started to run a bath. She didn't find any shampoo or conditioner, only some soap. She undressed herself and got into the hot water and closed her eyes. The water was soothing and comforting on her aching body. `I wish I had a book to read' she mumbled. She waited a while before using the soap. When she did, she used it on her hair first, gently lathering it the best she could and trying not to get her finger full of soap. Then she used it on her body.
Afterwards, she stood up and stepped out of the tub and she grabbed the nearest towel, she gave a little growl at the size of it. She quickly dried her hair, put the towel around her body and pulled her hair back into a tress. After she grabbed the towel and dried the top of her body and then finished the rest of her body. She got dressed into her cloths and then picked up the towel and in shock, dropped it. She stared at it, crumpled on the floor and on it was blood.
She suddenly became aware that she had a lot of blood coming from her underneath her fingernails. She rushed through the door and rushed down the hall to find someone who might be able to help her. She didn't know exactly why it didn't hurt until she noticed it but it sure as hell hurt now. It was starting to burn, as if she had lost her whole fingernail on each finger.
She went to the locked door that she couldn't get into before and started banging on it over and over again, screaming. Eventually the door slid open and on the other side stood five Dragon Slayers looking at her, others trying to get a glimpse.
`I'm bleeding' she said simply. As she said that they all looked down at her hands. The first slayer in front grabbed her wrist and dragged her down the hall.
`Uh… hey!'
`The sooner you see him about this the better you'll be.' He said.
`Listen to Gatti, he took medical training, well that was for only a little while, come to think of it, it really didn't do him any good at all' said Guimel thoughtfully.
`Guimel?' said Gatti turning around. `Do you mind'?
`C'mon, can't you at least no drag me?' Gatti stopped and then let her go. `And aren't you going to ask me why I'm out of my room?'
`No, Lord Dilandau told us that he let you out'
`Okay, good, now where are you taking me?'
`To Lord Dilandau'
`What? Don't you have some sort of Medical Bay? What about my continuous bleed that doesn't seem to be coagulating?' She screamed.
`Well,' Chesta started, `Lord Dilandau said that if something like this ever happened, and he said that it might then to bring you to him, and then he slapped me for some reason…' he finished thoughtfully.
`Chesta, he slapped you because you asked too many questions. Herm, for instant,' Guimel mocked Chesta's voice, `Sir, um Lord Dilandau, uh why would she start bleeding anyway?' Chesta punched him hard in the arm.
`Can't you two grow up at all? I mean, I am standing here bleeding to death.' She stood gawking at them, blood pooling around her feet. They started moving once again and all conversation stopped when they reached some door that had a red button underneath a speaker Gatti pushed it in and held it.
`Dilandau sir' he said.
`What?' the voice came after a few seconds.
`You might want to see this, sir' he replied. A few seconds silence and the door opened, Dilandau stood in front looking at the three dragon slayers and the half-awake Leaunna. He looked down and noticed the blood. He gave a snicker and pulled her into the room. He continued to look at the other Dragon Slayers.
`Dismissed' he said.
`Sir' Chesta squalled and the three of them ran off back to their rooms.
Dilandau brought her over to his bed, which looked the same as hers, and set her down on it. She swayed.
`What happened?'
`I didn't know you cared' she said drowsily.
Dilandau inhaled impatiently, `Well?' he said roughly.
`I took a bath, god, and when I got out I dried off and I found out I was bleeding'
`You went in water?'
`No stupid, I had a DRY bath, with air'
`That's the reason,' he left and was gone for a good five minutes. When he returned Leaunna was lying down across his bed, blood seeping through the top covers. In his hand he was carrying container of water.
`Here let me see your hand' she pushed her right hand towards him and he grabbed it and poured the water on it.
Her hand began feel like it was burning now to go along with the aching. Her nails slowly went from oval shapes to long claw like fingernails and it trailed up her arms into her shoulders and into her neck trailing up to her ears and making her scalp tingle, down the other side and into her other hand leaving it the way it was though. It continued down her back and two sets of wings came and a little further down, just under her tailbone came three tails. Making it's way down to her feet, making them into horse hooves and changing her hair into pure light.
Leaunna closed her eyes and when she opened them they were pure white. She moved faster than Dilandau ever could to the door and cut right through the steel and ran left, down the hall. Dilandau still stood there dumbfounded. `That wasn't supposed to happen'
Leaunna ran right for the first door that she came to and pushed it right down. She stared at the first person that was in her way and slashed him across the chest. He screamed in pain and feel to the floor, his breathing coming out in sharp gasps. Everyone else in the room backed against the wall and two of the boys were with the injured one. She stalked over to a glass container and looked inside it and dumped it's contents out. She searched through them and then she screamed in frustration and threw it against the wall.
`WHERE IS IT' she growled and picked up the closest dragon slayer her white eyes penetrating his brown ones.
`Wh- what where's what?' He asked.
`The-' she dropped him as soon as she felt a sharp pain in the side of her neck and felt liquid flow though her veins. Her muscles tensed and relaxed over and over again until she couldn't stand anymore and she fell to the ground where she passed out.
`Lord Dilandau, I think Gatti is dea- dead sir' Miguel said. Dilandau's face distorted and he picked up Leaunna.
`Find Folken, and get him to him. He might be able to do something'
