Images flashed all around her. Emotion flew by like a bird, as if it was something tangible and visible. She saw fire, carnage beyond believe. Death consuming many. She saw a woman, with very long, crimson red hair and equally fiery eyes. A smile crept across this woman's face and an unnatural chill fell over Hitomi.
"Noivw yteoivuis di'iteish."
Even though she had never heard a language even similar to that which this woman spoke, she knew exactly what she had said. 'Now you die.'
"Hitomi! Hitomi!" she felt hands grasp her shoulders. She screamed and flailed at this new threat.
"Hitomi! Wake up!"
Hitomi opened her eyes. It was her mother. Worried and fearful blue eyes looked down at her, tears brimming them. Hitomi looked around. She was in her room, laying across her bed. What
an odd way to sleep, she thought.
"Hitomi, what's the matter. I heard you yelling in you're sleep." her mother sat down next to her as she herself sat up, rubbing her eyes, trying to get rid of the soreness in them. The images came to her with those words. Horrible things. People being beaten and killed, buildings being burnt. Entire cities leveled to the ground.
"It was nothing mom, just another one of those dreams. It's ok."
"Oh honey." she said sympathetically. She pulled Hitomi closer to herself and wrapped her arms around her. She stroked her hair, almost ritualistically, obviously trying to calm her daughter, but it seemed more as a method of calming herself. Hitomi managed to break herself from her mothers embrace.
"It's nothing mom. I'm fine. It's only a dream, right?" she smiled only for her mothers benefit. She didn't want to talk to her mother. In fact, she didn't want to talk to anyone. It was still the weekend, only Sunday. She could stay in her room all day and calm down, rationalize everything away.
Her mother looked slightly hurt. She knew her daughter didn't want to talk about it. But it still made her feel so helpless, not being able to do anything, and not being wanted to either. She eventually conceeded, nodding her head and standing up once again.
"Ok then. I'll just be downstairs if you need anything."
It was Hitomi's turn to nod. Her mother left the room, quietly closing the door behind her. And as soon as she was certain her mother was downstairs and out of earshot, she began to cry. Heaving sobs stormed through her chest and lungs and echoed out of her mouth. Tears flowed from her still sore eyes, making them red. This wasn't happening. Not again. No more visions, no more dreams. No more Gaea, no more Van, no more...
She stopped herself.
Those words, names for places and people that she had been told had never existed. But that had all been a lie. They had been telling her that all she remembered wasn't real, but now she truly remembered. All of it. Gaea did exist. Gaea was the invisible satellite that circled around the earth itself. Gaea was where the man was. The man whose name was Van. She remembered, she could see him in her mind's eye. His dishelved black hair, his wide brown eyes, his rare yet captivating smile. It was all real. She had been lied to. And the worst part was that she had let them do it.
She quickly rushed around her room, grabbing her clothes and getting ready. Then she barged out of her room and ran down the stairs, and on her way out the door she yelled to her mom.
"Bye mom." and she was gone.
She had with her her backpack, filled with a couple changes of clothes and the few things that were dear to her, which included the feather that had mysteriously appeared on her pillow the night prior. It was strange how quickly she had accepted the fact that it had all been real, when she had spent three years trying to convince herself that it hadn't, and that she had been dreaming. She didn't even know why she had packed. Was she running away?
She walked down the street. She didn't know where she was going, or even if she wanted to know. All she knew was that she wanted to get away from this life that had proven unworthy of her. She was only going through the motions. She wasn't getting any better. This wasn't her world anymore. She was completely engulfed in these thoughts when something else grabbed for her. Pulled her away from herself and demanded that she listen.
"Win dain a lotica/ En vai tu ri/ Si lo ta."
The words rang in her ears. The sound filled her, made her close her and clear her ears so all there was was the sound of that voice. Calling to her. She stood on the curb, across from an empty park. Her eyes sprang open and her breathe caught in her throat with what she saw.
There in the sky, even though she knew no one else could see it, she saw what had been plaguing her unconscious mind for years. There in the sky, orbiting close to the Moon, was Gaea. The
invisible planet.

A/N: I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but it's how it has played out in my mind. It's a transition chapter so it couldn't really be all that long. Please, R/R. I love to hear what you guys think.
