The vision of Escaflowne: Two souls ... two destinies

Chapter 3: The truth always comes up!

#Previously, Marta asked Van if all females marry virgins.#

Fanélia, breakfast time:

"Not all of them! Only who wants to, is not as they are forced to do
it!"

"Oh ... Ok!"

"Why?" - Van asked a little bit surprised by what she had asked.

"Well, I was thinking if Farge is ... you know ... virgin."

"On what depends of me ... she is!"

"And you don't want to know?"

"What?"

"If she is, or if she is not!"

"Look, I trust Farge, so I think that if she wasn't she would have
told me. After all, we are friends!" - Van smiled, and Marta smiled
back. They finished having breakfast and went out.

Van went to the meeting-room for some business, while Marta headed to
the gardens.

~*~*~

In the afternoon:

Marta was seated on the grass, close to the lagoon. All was quiet; the
only sound that could be heard was the birds singing. She wrapped her
arms around her legs, sinking her head between them.

«I can't stop thinking of it. What if she is cheating on him? Should I
warn him? ... Ugh ... I don't know what to do! I should warn him, but
what if I am wrong? He and Farge will hate me for the rest of my
life!»

"Marta!" - she turned to see Mirana. - "Can I have a seat?"

"Of course!" - Marta slightly pulled herself to the right, so Mirana
could seat next to her.

"So, what were you thinking about?"

"Nothing special!" - she admitted.

"Do you miss home?"

"Do you mean ... the Mystic Moon?"

"Yes?"

"Well ... no, not at all!"

"And why is that? I thought the Mystic Moon was much better than
Gaea!"

"Only in dreams! At least for me it is not better, but maybe it is for
Hitomi and for Christina ... maybe!"

"You seem to hate your planet!" - Mirana was a little surprised, she
thought the Mystic Moon was a paradise.

"I don't hate the planet! It is beautiful! I just hate the people that
live in it, destroy it and the others life's."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, just ... forget it!"

"I see you don't want to talk about it!"

"It's just that that matter doesn't ... bring me good memories.
Forgive me if I was rude or something!"

"There is nothing to be forgiven! Merle told me that you are a nice
girl, and I also thing so!" - Mirana gave her a smile, and she smiled
back.

~*~*~

That night:

«Well, I'll go talk to him, and than we see what happens!» Marta
thought while leaving her room, towards Van's.

When she was close to Christina's room she heard a ... «I don't
believe it! She just got here and she is already making love with some
guy! For good's sake!» (Yeah, the sound she heard was Christina's
satisfying sounds, you know what I mean, don't get dumb over me!). She
proceeded (Marta, to Van's room, Ok? You perverts!).

When she came to Van's room she knocked on the door, nothing happened,
no one answered.

"Van, it's me Marta! Please open, I need to talk to you for a second
... Van?!" - still no answer, and she realised he was not on his
bedroom.

Than she remembered. «He is the one who is sleeping with Christina! I
can't believe it! But it all makes perfect sense, they are too
friendly. God, and thinking I was about to save this bastard's skin
from that slut. I am so stupid! I should have guessed ...»

She went back to her room, but than, she heard Hitomi. She was crying.
«That bastard deserves to marry that slut, but Hitomi doesn't deserve
to suffer, so I'll just tell him tomorrow.» finally she re-entered her
room and took off her dress, got a shower, dressed her nightdress,
black as ... well as anything, and went to sleep.

~*~*~

The morning came, shiny and beautiful. Fanélia's morning!:

Marta stretched herself, still on the bed, it was a wonderful morning!
She lifted herself up and went to dress. This time she chose a
blue-celestial dress, with a dark blue bodice, without sleeves. She
put on, her ten silver bracelets.

She went out, and, as she calculated, found Van alone having
breakfast. Repugnance took over her, but she controlled herself.

"Good morning Marta!"

"Good morning!"

"Haven't you slept well?"

"Why do you ask?"

"You lock a little mad!"

"I have my reasons!" - she locked angrier than ever, and Van got a
little scared.

"Is it something with me?"

"Maybe ..."

"What have I done wrong this time?"

"Look, I don't came here to say to you why I'm angry, so shut up and
listen to me!"

"O ... ok!" - Van was too much surprised, she now looked like a demon
or something. - "What do you have to say to me?"

"I think Farge is pregnant!"

"FARGE IS WHAT? Are you crazy? T ... that's impossible!"

"Is it? Are you sure, Van Fanel?"

"B ... bu ... but ..." - Van couldn't say a word. - "You don't know
what you're talking about! Farge is not pregnant, she would have told
me!"

"Oh, would she? I don't think so ..."

"Why are you saying that?"

"That what?"

"That's SHE IS PREGNANT, what else could it be!"

"Well, she has all the signs of pregnancy! Unusual desires, vomits
every morning, and besides, she is getting a little to `fat'. Don't
you think?" - Marta made a scoffing smile, seeing Van's horrifying
face.

He run out of the dinning room, and Marta knew exactly were he was
going to.

~*~*~

Farge's room:

Farge was watching her image on the mirror, she was wearing a green
dress, with a white bodice, without sleeves, but she was wearing some
gloves. When she listened to the `knock, knock' on the door.

"Yes?!"

"Farge is me, Van. I need to talk to you for a second!"

She opened the door, letting Van enter her room.

"Good morning Van, is every thing alright?"

"NO!" - Farge was petrified; it was the first time Van ever yelled at
her. - "I'm here cause I think you're hiding something very
important!"

"I don't know what you're talking abou ..."

"YES YOU KNOW, DON'T MAKE A FOLL OF ME!" - his eyes was full of hate,
for being betrayed for one of his best friends. - "You've been LYING
to me!"

"A ... about what?"

"ABOUT YOU BEING PREGNANT!" - Farge was in complete shock. «He knows,
but how?» he grabbed her arms, making a little too much pressure- "Why
Farge? Why did you hide such a thing from ME? I thought we were
friends!"

"V ... Van!"

"Don't say a word. You have no excuse!" - he let go of her and turned
to the door, giving some steps forward.

"Van, wait! I didn't wanted to cheat on you ... my father forced me to
do it!"

"And since when do your father force you to do anything? You never
obeyed him ... never!"

"Van, since the beginning I told I was in love with someone else ..."

"Yes, but BEING PREGNANT. Would you like to marry me, knowing I had a
son with some other girl!"

"You don't understand!"

"No, I don't understand cause there is nothing to be understood!"

"Yes, there is much to be explained!" - she grabbed his left arm,
trying to make him stay and listen to her. - "Please listen to me.
Don't I deserve it?"

"You ... talk, but fast I have a marriage to stop!" - she let go of
him and calmed herself down.

"I wanted to marry Drid, so he and I ... well we decided this was the
best way to make my father reconsider. But then, he told me that if I
didn't marry you he would kill Drid, so I had no choice. Father
thought you would never notice before the marriage, and that after you
would think the son was yours! Please, you have to believe me! I would
never lie to you unless I had no choice!"

"You don't think I am still going to marry you?"

"No, I would never think such a thing, now that you know everything!"

"GOD! I'm going to talk to your father, and immediately cancel the
wedding! Now you can marry your ... Drid!"

"Thanks Van!"

"For what?"

"For everything! I wanted to tell you ..."

"No more words ok! I've got to go!"

With this Van left Farge's room. She smiled, in some way she was happy
cause he discovered everything. She could now sleep well, for the
first time in weeks.

~*~*~

On the gardens of Fanélia's palace:

"Beautiful day, isn't it?" - Marta turned to see Celena, her white
dress, with pink bodice was now `stained' of green, a good prove that
she was walking by the grass for a while. - "Hi, my name's Celena!"

"Mine's Marta! Nice to meet you! You're Allen's sister, right?"

"Yes!" - Celena seated next to Marta. - "And you are the one Merle
told me about, right?" - Marta smiled.

"Yes, I suppose so!"

"You look a little sad! Is anything wrong?"

"Yes! Pretty much things are wrong!"

"Want to talk about it?" - Marta looked at her, she looked so
peaceful.

"You know ... I thought that a person I met was a nice one, but then I
saw how I was wrong, and that hurts when you are trying to help that
person!"

"Maybe, that person is not so bad as you are thinking it is!"

"Maybe ..."

...

"MARTA!" - Merle came and put her arms around Marta's neck. - "I was
locking everywhere for you! Van-sama wants to see you!" - Marta's
heart started jumping. What if she was wrong?

"What does he want?"

"Well, how am I suppose to know?"

"Ok, thanks!" - she pulled herself up from the grace and went to the
throne room, still reluctant.

~*~*~

The throne room:

"Your majesty, Lady Marta is here!" - one of the guards announced.

"Sent her in! And please live us alone for a minute, will you!"

"Of course your majesty!" - the guard let Marta in and he went out.
Marta and Van were alone in that huge room. A little to creepy for
her.

The throne room was as huge as half of a football camp, or bigger. It
had many great windows, which let pass the morning rays of light. That
was a very beautiful scenery, but still she was scared, not knowing
what Van wanted with her. He was wearing a similar suit to yesterday,
the bigger difference were the colour. Now it was black pants and
black 'jacket' (this time with sleeves) and red shirt.

"You wanted to se me?"

"Yes! I want to thank you, for opening my eyes. I've already cancelled
my marriage. Thank you!"

"You have nothing to thank me!" - she said with her eyes on the floor.

"Can you please look at me, when I'm talking to you!"

"Sorry, your majesty!"

"And cut that off! Why are you so mad at me? What did I do to you?"

"To me ... nothing!"

"Then to who!"

"You should know what you do or did, shouldn't you?"

"I do not remember doing nothing wrong, at least since you came!"

"Then, there is nothing to be discussed!"

"LOOK AT ME!" - she looked at him, and saw his beautiful purple eyes
crisped on her. - "Tell me! Why are you so mad?"

She tried to think of anything, she couldn't tell him she heard him
making love with Christina. No way!

"Well I thought that you were faithful to Farge, while you were still
engaged!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you and Christina!"

"Oh, that thing on the corridor, that was a ..."

"I'm not talking about what I saw on the corridor!"

"Than what are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about last night!"

"Last night? What about last night?"

"Don't make a foll of me, Van Fanel! I'm not as foll as you think!"

"Explain yourself, will you?"

"I ... well I'm not going to say what you did last night on
Christina's bedroom, ok? You know very well what you did!"

"WHAT?" - Van's eyes widened up. - "You're not telling me that you
think I went to Christina's bedroom last night?"

"That's exactly what I am saying!"

"I went not!"

"Oh no! Then were where you, when I went to your room last night?"

"I ..." - Van was about to say that he went to fly, it was now a
habit. Every night he spread his wings and flies a little bit. - " ...
I was at the garden, catching some fresh air!" - Marta was now a
little more relaxed, she had made a wrong judgement over him.

"Sorry. It's just that I ..."

"No need to apologise! For your concern I'm not interested in
Christina, she is a little too ... easy for me. If you understand what
I mean?" - Marta smiled, and Van smiled back.

"Are you going to talk with her?"

"With whom?"

"Hitomi! Now that you are free you can ... well ... start it all
over!"

"No!"

"No! Why?"

"I've already talk to her last night, she ..."

#Flashback#

"Hitomi, I'm sorry that I've got to marry Farge, but I thought you
would never get back."

"Don't be!"

"What?"

"Don't be sorry Van, I don't deserve your love!"

"And why is that?"

"Cause I don't love you!" - well that was worst that being hit, by a
sword, on the chest.

#End of Flashback#

"... Doesn't love me!"

Well that was a surprise even for Marta. - "But I thought ..."

"It's ok! I think ..." - Marta saw Van's face full of sadness, he was
about to cry but didn't do it. Marta slowly got close to him and
kneeled in front of him. He had his head down and Marta downed hers so
she could see his eyes.

She never got a heartbreak, so she didn't knew what that felled like,
but she could imagine it.

"Don't cry! I'm sure it is all going to be all right! Maybe she just
..." - she stopped! The words she was going to say, would only hurt
him most.

He started crying, and she tried to confort him.

~*~*~

On the outskirts of Asturia:

"Ureshiú!" - a female voice called, for the golden hair girl.

"Yes, came in Yukí!"

"Excuse me!" - Yukí entered and took a seat on Ureshiú bed. - "Are you
alright? Last night you looked a little depressed!"

"Yeah! I'm alright, just a little anxious about Van's marriage!"

"Well, that makes two of us!" - Yukí smiled, as well as Ureshiú. Than
a soldier entered the room.

"Yukí-sama! Van's wedding has been cancelled!"

"What? That's impossible! Why would he do such a thing?"

"It looks like, his fiancée was pregnant of another!"

"These girls. Our perfect plan is all ruined! GO CALL ZARDUS!

"But, master Zardus is still asleep!"

"Ok, I'll go! Get out of my way!" - Yukí ran out of the room, towards
Zardus'.

«Brother is asleep? But there are twenty past eleven! He never slept
till this later!» Ureshiú thought to herself.

~*~*~

Yukí entered Zardus room, just to find him leaving the bathroom, only
with a small towel around his waist. She gave some steps back. It was
the first time she saw him without his uniform; she had to admit he
was some guy. «Nice body!» she smiled to herself.

"Sorry, Zardus, I didn't meant to!"

"It could be worst! Now, what brought you here? Good news, I hope!"

"No, not at all!" - she looked down.

"What is it?"

"Van cancelled his wedding!"

"HE DID WHAT?"

"You heard it! He just did it!"

"Why has he done that? He ruined all my plans!"

"It looks like his fiancée was pregnant of some other guy, he found
out and cancelled the ceremony."

"That stupid bastard! Now we will have to think of something else!"

...

Some silent moments.

...

"Well, I'll leave now!"

"We talk later" - Yukí turned and opened the door. - "And Yukí, thanks
for warning me!"

"No need to thank! That's my duty, isn't it?" - she went out.

"Yeh, right!" - he said, more to himself.

~*~*~

Fanélia:

Hitomi was heading to the gardens, when she listened to the sound of
metal against metal. She turned, to the training room, where she found
Allen and another soldier fighting. She went to Christina's and
Celena's side, as they were watching the fight, that looked more like
a duel.

"Why are they fighting?"

"They're just practicing!" - Celena.

"And we are watching!" - Christina.

At the end, as usual, Allen won and Celena jumped over him.

"Allen!" - Hitomi called him.

"Yes!" - Allen turned to her.

"Would you teach me how to use a sword? Back on the Mystic Moon I
learned fencing, but using one of this is not the same!"

"Of course! We start after lunch, ok?"

"Yeh! Thanks!"

"Hitomi ... by the way, this is Sano, one of the private guard of
Van!"

"Nice to meet you, Sano!"

"The pleasure is all mine, my lady!" - he made a low courtesy and she
smiled

They went out, to the gardens. (All of them)

~*~*~

Some time after they went out:

Marta came to the training room, were they put all the weapons. She
closed the door and started watching all of those instruments.

"Witch one will I pick up? Oh, I like this one!" - she grabbed a huge
weapon. It was a truncheon, with a mortal and beautiful blade with the
inverse form of a `L', and on the other corner had a huge and heavy
platin ball.

"You can take it if you want!" - she turned to face Van, which had
just entered the room.

"Really? Can I have it?"

"Yeh, sure! But you have to learn how to use it!"

"Can you teach me?"

"Of course. Here at eight p.m. is it ok for you?"

"Yeh!" - he smiled to her, seeing she was happy to have something to
do, besides walking on the garden and playing with Merle. They went to
the dinning room were they took lunch, with all the others, including
Farge, Mirana and Dryden.

~*~*~

Zardus headed to Yukí's room, he knocked on the door.

"The door is open, you may come in!" - Zardus opened the door and then
closed it behind him. She turned to face him. - "Zardus, I thought it
was Ureshiú!"

"We will have to attack sooner or later. Are the guymelefs ready for
battle?"

"Yes, like I said before, it's all set!"

"Fine, I'll warn you when it comes the time!"

"I'll be waiting!"

"Oh, Yukí!"

"Yes?"

"Tonight we are going to make Fanélia a little visit. To see how
things are going! At midnight we go!"

"Yes, Zardus! Will Ureshiú go to?"

"Yes, she wants to see Van! You know, she misses him, although he
doesn't even know we exist."

"Yes, I know it!" - Zardus left the room, and Yukí was alone, again!

Well, I finished one more chapter. Sorry to all V/H lovers, but I told
you before they were not meant to be together, not on my fan fiction.

Sorry if this is a little to boring, always Marta and Van dialogues,
but for your information, they are the main characters of this story.
But don't start thinking they will end up together, no! Cause Van is
in love with Hitomi, and Marta as a complex over men. You'll see why
along the story.

Bye bye. See you soon.
