EASIER TO RUN

"…"=spoken words

--…. -- =lyrics

/…/unspoken words (thoughts)

The desert was dry and barren in every direction for as far as the eye could see. How he wasn't getting lost mystified even him. "Now then! Which way did that kind man point me?" Vash asked himself sweatdroping.

"Ugh! You mean you're lost?!? You imbecile. It's a good thing I bought that map." Said Meryl laughing to herself. Meryl started walking slightly to the right when Vash said, "hey I'm going this way." Pointing to the right. "What? Why? There's a town about 23 isles from here in that direction. You'd have to be a fool to walk that way!" Meryl protested. "Meryl's right you know Mr. Vash." Millie said.

--Something has been taken from deep inside of me,--

/but he's somewhere this way… he'll be brought to justice…for all those people he killed, for rem…/

Meryl noticed the serious, almost hurt look on Vash's face and, not for the first time, she wondered what was wrong. What did he think about when looked like that?

--A secret I've kept locked away, no one can ever see,--

Not noticing Meryl's concerned stare, vas once again remembered Rem's last words as the hatch door closed. Vash, take care of knives…

--wounds so deep they never show, they never go away,

Like moving pictures in my head,

For years and years they've played…--

It was all knives fault! Everyone died because of him!

/knives, what were you thinking…I don't want to live like this anymore…/

--if I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could stand up and take the blame I would

I would take all my shame to the grave-

After three hours of walking, the trio decided to settle down for the night. Everyone was exhausted so Meryl made a quick meal, then they went to bed. /what will I do when I find him? Will I kill him? Is it wrong?... I'll just sleep on it and decide in the morning…/

--it's easier to run, replacing this pain with something more-

/what should I do rem? /

--Its so much easier to run then face all this pain here all alone,--

Vash laid his head against his pack and drifted off into unconsciousness. However, instead of getting peaceful sleep, he was haunted by dreams of knives, killing the spider, killing the crew, killing most of the humans, and ultimately, killing rem.

--sometimes I remember the darkness of my past,

Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have,--

Vash woke with a start. Shivering from that horrific recurring dream he always had. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he remembered the ship in which rem was on, blowing up.

--sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back

And never moving forward so there'd never be a past-

Meryl walked over and sat next to him about five minutes later. Millie had been sleeping but she had heard Vash crying again. She didn't ask why. She never did. She let him think she hadn't heard.

Vash knew Meryl had heard him, but he thanked god she never asked about it. Of course if she had, he would just tell her it was dangerous to know. When she sat next to him, he smiled and tried to cheer up. It didn't do any good to just sit around and sulk…

--just washing it aside all of the helplessness inside,

Pretending I don't feel misplaced

Is so much simpler than change…--

/tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow I'll have an answer. Tomorrow will be better…/

--it's easier to run, replacing this pain with something more,

It's so much easier to run, then face all this pain here all alone. /
