**Rey and Meryl**

When Meryl saw herself in the mirror she wanted to scream, who? What? Where? When? How? All these questions running through her head. She didn't even look human. What happened? She looked at Rey with tear-filled eyes. He saw her tears and new what she was thinking. "I'm sorry," he said. She stared at him blankly, it was him, he did this to her? No! It couldn't be. She started to back away and looked like she was going to run when two large men grabbed her and strapped her on to metal table. (Like the ones they have in doctor's offices and stuff) She was terrified. Rey spoke softly, "Now to make you obedient and get rid of that nasty thinking habit". Next thing she new, four doctors surrounded her, a bright light flashed and she was out.

When she woke up, she didn't feel anything. Her body numb, lost, cold. She didn't care, but why? What ever they did to her made her feel nothing; it made her confused yet she understood perfectly. Something, something inside her. She felt her chest, what? She felt nothing but cold, ice, like her once warm blood was now ice cold. Her silver eyes where brighter now, she felt, controlled, but so strong, she felt like she had to, had to see…….blood? The smell, the taste, it was driving her insane. She felt herself get off the table and walk toward a door leading outside. A guard moved in front of her blocking her way. As if a reflex she looked at him in the eye….those silver eyes…death, so lost and cold, those silver eyes. Next thing she knew her claws were in his chest and he fell to the floor. She took out her hand easily and looked at it. Blood, blood, and more blood. The color, hot red, the taste, and unbelievable sensation she thought. Wait, what? I don't understand she thought, her claws dripped with blood. She let out an evil yet satisfying snicker. Then she heard a noise from behind her and quickly turned around only to have an undying pain in her chest.

It was Rey, he was different though. He had a disgustingly satisfied look on his face. She reached over to claw his face, to get rid of that grin, to make her pain go away, but how? How did he? Before she could hit his face he grabbed her hand and pulled her forward to him. She was confused. "You cannot kill me, try as you like, but you will never succeed." With that statement she froze and backed away. She was scared, no…she couldn't feel anything. She was emotionless. But why? Why could she sense that he could control her, or that he had some power over her?

"Good, you're getting it now" he said in a low voice. "Come" he said. With that she felt her body obey and came toward him. She didn't know why! WHY!!! Why did she obey? Why did her body listen? But now, she felt as though she didn't have to care why...this was, her new life now...with Rey. He grabbed her and looked at her like he was his latest and most prized possession. He gently fingered through her hair. "You poor soul, you look so lost, stuck in a dream, don't worry yourself of details, give in to me and become mine… look forward to the task at hand…" Task at hand? What was he saying… right then she knew exactly what he meant. It was the last memory she could save before he completely drained her of thoughts. V..vvva..vvvvaa…..She couldn't say his name. He put a finger over her lips as if to say to be quiet. She did as he told her. "Don't trouble yourself, we still have much to do," he said.

**Ok ok, so you're probably wondering what the hell he did to her right? Well, here it is….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the doctors injected a shot in to her wrists and she fell asleep. They immediately started working. One of the doctors took a large knife and sliced her chest open. Blood spilling, different doctors doing different things. They put in a computer like system into her body. It replaced her heart and lungs, she didn't need to breath, her lungs were "inefficient". She no longer needed or required food, sleep, or air. She was perfect. Metal beams were put into different parts or her body to make her structure stronger. If she was injured, her body wouldn't feel anything, just eventually repair it. With her new strengths the process of repairing was quicker.

A small chip put into the system would allow Rey to control her. With one word as a killing trigger. (gee, can ya guess) The word was not a word but a name, Vash. (NO!!! : p… HEHE!) She was made into an android, one capable of doing anything. She was made to become indestructible. All she needed was blood. Blood was her energy, yes…cruel but it was true. She needed blood to survive. She was to feel no emotion, no pain, nothing. She was finally complete. She was already programmed to kill what ever she didn't know and all her skills of fighting and defense were already programmed into her system.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It would be exactly 2 years now, Rey and Meryl started there killing spree. Meryl was unrecognizable and no one cared, they just wanted to run for their lives. But there was no chance, women, men, and children…slaughtered by the very touch of her claws, she rarely wasted her swords or bullets on easy prey. Rumors spread and towns were horrified by the news, Vash the Stampede was gone and a new killer took his place, one that pierced the hearts of all, and one that earned the name, Death Strike.

(Yeah, yeah…lame but I couldn't think of anything else. If ya got any good names e-mail me!!!)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Meanwhile, back with Vash and Milly**

After Milly finished the story of Meryl's death both were distraught and sad. Vash for one couldn't believe it, he didn't know this Rey person but he was determined to find him and make him pay for killing Meryl. He just couldn't believe it, when he left he thought he could forget about her, just like he did for every pretty girl he met along the way. But Meryl was different, she really cared. He couldn't forget, her smile was etched in his mind and it had no plan of leaving.

He then realized how much he truly loved her. He new she had cared for him, maybe even loved him, who knows, but he never really wanted to leave her. He felt like he had to, to get away and clear his mind, but what was on his mind, was what he left back in that small town……Meryl. But she was gone now, there was nothing he could do but go to her grave and pay his respects.

He headed for the door and Milly questioned his leave, he merely replied, "I never got to say good-bye". With that she new where he was going and told him to wait for her to get her coat. She needed to see Meryl's grave. All this time she was avoiding her but she knew one day she would give in. She couldn't stay away forever. Even if it did bring back painful memories, she had to go, it was the only was to clear her head.

They walked out to the graveyard by the town. It took them about a good day and a half but they made it their. They found her grave but…..WHAT?????????? "umm….maybe it's just me but don't graves usually have a dead person inside" Vash sarcastically said. Milly was speechless. "What happened, this is where we buried her" Milly said. Both were dumbstruck. The grave was open with the door pushed to the side, Meryl's derenger's lay scattered on the bottom of the grave but wait…a message….what? Milly looked at the small guns carefully, something wasn't right. She walked on to the other side of the grave and froze. There on the floor written with the derenger's a word. She could barely make it out. Three letters, R….U….N…. OH MY GOSH! She screamed. She repeated the message, run…run…run… She wants us to run? Why? Wait….she's…she's Milly was overwhelmed. She's alive? She thought.

Vash came over to see what Milly was screaming about. He saw the message and froze. "Milly" he looked at her. "Are you sure she was dead when you buried her?" he questioned. "Of course, that's what the doctors said!!" she panicked. Could she really…be alive? Or was it just grave robber's. She had to consider the fact that the chances of Meryl rising from the dead were pretty slim. But then she looked up and started to walk more away from the town. The sun? she thought.

She ran down more, then stopped in terror. That was no sun it was…is was, a fire? A very large and roaring fire at that. She called for Vash and they bolted toward the town. Both in shock, there was not a single soul alive. Everyone was gone, slaughtered. It was a massacre, complete horror. Then out of the blue a shadowy figure was walking. It was a dark figure, dressed all in black walking toward the graveyard they had just came from.

They quietly followed the dark figure and watched it move through the fire. Vash was intent on going and helping the figure but Milly stopped him. For some reason she felt like whatever that figure was it was the last person there, it looked unharmed and moved swiftly across the fire. I must have been whatever caused this tragedy.

Both followed, unknowing of the fact that the "dark figure" knew they were there and was intently leading them to the graveyard. It stopped right in front of her grave.

(Well, unless you're like retarded you know the "dark figure" is with the whole stopped in front of her grave thing…..hehe)

They froze in their tracks and were shocked where the figure had stopped. The saw the person clearly now, a tall girl with purple hair, black and the bottom with two dark blue streaks on the sides. Dressed in all black large nails that were clearly covered in blood. Black fingerless gloves and black sunglasses. A creepy looking figure.

It moved closer and knelt at the sight of Meryl's grave. With that Vash couldn't take it. He told Milly to stay put as he approached the figure. She sensed him and paid no mind to it. She didn't care for he could not hurt her and thus was no threat. She reached into the grave and picked up a derenger that lay on the floor. "Stop, unhand that gun, it does not belong to you" vash said. She didn't pay attention to him. She brought it to her and looked at it. She traced the gun with one of her long, blood covered nails. Then an image of a women flashed in her head and she looked up to the sky with eyes that looked as if someone had stabbed her in the heart. A memory....she thought. But what, is a memory, who.... She took off her sunglasses and clenched the gun in her hands. A tear escaped her watery eyes. She dropped the gun and got up. "nn....nnn...no...no.." she mumbled the words. Vash could barely hear them but knew what she was saying. Something was wrong and he didn't like the feeling of not knowing.

She turned to face Vash. Her tear stained face showed no emotion. Somehow he felt like this girl was not evil, something wasn't right. Who was she, why was she here? Her tears dried and she looked at him. An unwanted look grew on her face and Vash was up and alert again. He questioned her "Who are you, what are you doing here". She didnt' know. She looked up at him with another emotionless look, "The old man, when his children were screaming, he told them not to fear when death strikes". "I will take that name and strike fear and the cold stab of death into peoples hearts" She stopped, "My name shall be Death Strike" Vash was sick to his stomach, she spoke as if she didnt' care a single bit about what she had done. "How dare you take the lives of the innocent" He yelled with hate. "innocent?" she knew that word. but where. Another image...~~~~A man holding a little girl with a gun to her head, the women she saw an image of before saying, "You let her go" "you shouldn't put the innocent into such a dangerous matter......~~~~ The memory ended.

She started mumbling "make it go away, I don't want to know, why, who? who is doing this to me" Vash was confused. What was she talking about. She looked at him "Who are you" she said with frustration. Emotion....no can't be, she was lost. Why was this happening to her? Vash looked at her "My name is Vash the stampede" She stopped. Her body froze and calmed at the same time. Her silver eyes glowed. She put her sunglasses back on and said in a low and threatening tone. "You should heed the warning of graves" "Now you shall die" With that she was right in front of him with her claws in his shoulder. She questioned herself. Why? His heart was right open I could've killed him right then and there. She looked behind her.

There he stood. Rey, he made her dodge his heart but why? She didn't bother questioning anymore. She removed her claws with the speed of light and went to Rey. "I see you've met my pet" Rey said with a satisfied look on his face. Milly ran up to Vash and said "It's him, the one who shot Meryl, that's the guy" "You?, I see your still alive, how unfortunate" Rey snickered staring at Milly. "I should have taken you too then" Rey finished and looked intently at "death strike". "then the game would have been so much more fun, two against one" Rey finished still looking at death strike and fingering through her hair. Vash looked up at death strike confused. Milly was dumbstruck "What are you saying" Milly questioned. "Well then, I guess I did a good job of disgusting her" Rey said. Both were still lost and Vash was still in pain.

With that statement Vash pulled out his gun and swiftly moved toward him and pointed the gun at his head, when he realized it was not his head, it was deathstikes. Some how she was able to read his move and get in front of Rey before he could. But that was impossible! He was so fast, how did she get in front of him without him knowing, why was she was protecting him. What was he going to do? He couldn't shoot her. He just couldn't. She was being manipulated, her conscious destroyed only to be turned into a puppet. "Who are you?" Vash asked ignoring death strike in front of him. "My name is Rey, Rey Woodwolf. I'm sure you know my brother don't you, Nicholas D. Woodwolf. I'm here to take my revenge Vash, my brother will not die in vein…….

**(If you don't remember from the series Nicholas D. Woodwolf, was the so called "priest" that carried that huge cross punisher thing and killed people)**
