Chapter 6:Meeting

Sarah awoke in 'his' bed again. *When will this nightmare end?* She wondered as she weakly sat up right. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. She glanced quickly around the room and he was no where to be found. *Finally! Some privacy!* His words echoed through her head when she remembered their conversation.

'"You want it Sarah. You want me. Just admit it."' *perhaps he was somewhat right but how can I want someone I barely know? I feel so confused.* The way he touched and caressed her skin made her feel awkward. She liked it but there was the feeling of uncertainly lurking in her heart.

Sarah spent the rest of the morning laying in the bed, deep in thought. *What should I do?* her fingers found their way to her neck and held onto the pink pendent. *Christal, what would you do? Actually, I think I know what she would do. Dilandau would be dead by now if she were in my position.* A smile crept to her cheeks.

As Sarah sat on the edge of the bed, she heard an explosion of some sort. *what was that?* She wondered as she jumped to her feet. Hesitantly she walked over to the door, hoping that it was unlocked. To her surprise it was. *strange, yesterday he kept me locked in here like a caged animal.* She took the opportunity to flee the room.

As she walked alone down the hallway, in the distance she could hear yells and even screams. Her eyes widened in panic. The sounds of soldiers running came closer as the yells grew stronger. "Fuck!" she breathed. *I've gotta get out of here!* she broke into a fast paced run away from the voices.

She looked back to see if there was anyone following her. Just as she looked forward she ran into a girl. "I'm so sorry!" Sarah apologised as she helped the sandy blond up. The clothing struck Sarah in an unusual way, they looked familiar in a way. "Hey, where are you from?"

"Um, Tokyo Japan, why?" she asked as she examined Sarah's clothing.

"You're from Earth!?!" The girl nodded confused. *she must be the new seeress Vari had said in that vision.*

"Um, it was nice meeting you but I've really got to go." with that said, she sped off down the hallway. *now, where am I going to go?* Sarah continued in the direction she was heading in but she didn't run. She stopped once she had come to a catwalk. Below her was some of the men at Allen's fort. They were fighting against all the soldiers dressed in grey. She just stood there and watched in horror as one by one the grey armoured soldiers fell.

"Gaddes! Lets pull out!" Sarah looked towards the voice and saw Allen running towards his comrades. Gaddes finished off fighting the soldier and yelled to his other men to fall back. Once they had board their air ship, out of the shadows stumbled Dilandau. He clutched his cheek in pain as he fell to his knees. Sarah gasped as she looked at him.

Sarah turned around quickly to leave but walked right into a tall man wearing a long black cloak. He looked at her with interest. *she must be the girl Dilandau captured* he inquired. "Um I'm sorry." she apologised quickly and walked around him. *hm, I wonder if what Emperor Dornkirk had said was true that she is a seeress from the Mystic Moon.*

Hitomi stood in the bridge of the airship crusade and looked off into the horizon deep in thought. *I wonder who that girl was. How did she know about Earth? Is she from there as well? She must be. Her clothes look nothing like those here.* her gaze drifted over to Allen and she felt nothing but guilt. *I wonder if he's mad at me for the reading I did. He looks angry.* But her thoughts still centred around the girl she had met on the Vione.

Sarah wondered the hallways not thinking of where she was going. She stopped dead in her tracks though when she heard some whistling coming from the room she had just passed. She walked back to see if filled with the Dragon Slayers. They shouted cat calls and whistled at her. Sarah just sighed and left. *men, they're all the same.*

"Hey ya cutie." one of them had followed her. Sarah just ignored it and continued on her way. He walked in front of her and leaned against the wall. Sarah looked at him more than annoyed.

"What the fuck do you want?" she asked with a sigh even though it was obvious what he wanted.

"Why I was thinking perhaps you could join me for dinner and then a little time alone with me afterwards." he grinned slyly at her.

"Miguel!" their attention was brought to the blond haired soldier who was running towards them.

"Uh Gatti, can't you see I'm a little busy."

"Hands off Miguel." Sarah looked at the two soldiers confused. *Don't tell me they're going to fight over me.*

"Excuse me? Why should I? So you can have her to yourself?"

"No, she's Lord Dilandau's mistress-"

"Mistress!?! I am no one's mistress!" Sarah yelled as she stormed away from the two. Miguel smirked as she walked away.

"I see someone likes to play hard to get." he had said loud enough for her to hear. Sarah just held up her middle finger as she continued to walk away.

"Miguel, she's not playing hard to get and you know Lord Dilandau would have your neck if you went after his woman." sadly, Miguel nodded. It was one risk he wasn't willing to take.

A/N: Okay so what did ya think of chapter 6? It's strange, I was going to make this a "happy" fic but it's turned out to be very depressing. Well, please review and I hoped you enjoyed the chapter. I'll try to make the next one longer ok.
