Trigun Fan Fiction ❯ Unseen Scars ❯ And They Plan ( Chapter 14 )

Note: this will be a VERY confusing chapter to many, but I hope you get it pretty well. If you don't then review me and I will edited it so it is clearer for you.

 

“We're not safe here anymore.”

 

Those words lingered in his mind since earlier that morning. He remembered the exact time. 4:27 a.m. It had passed by so slowly since then, every minute seeming like days. And what was worse was that his insurance girl was in danger as well.

 

Flashback

 

“The women were in my dream as well.” Knives half whispered, his voice still hoarse from his subconscious scream earlier.

 

“What happened?” Vash sat, wringing his hands as he waited for a response from his brother.

 

Knives sighed. “They died…both of them.” He only waited for hysterics from Vash, but was surprised by his calm reply.

 

“So…when do you want to leave? If being here is putting them in danger…we should go as soon as we can.” Vash acted as relaxed as possible, but both of the twins knew that inside, the blonde humanoid typhoon was shattered with the though of leaving.

 

“Three days. The women should come, too. There's nothing you can do but bring them. They are already at risk.” Knives stated blankly. “Abandoning them would be leaving them defenseless.”

 

End Flashback

 

Damn it! Vash slammed his fist against the table, leaving a small crack in it. The last thing he wanted to do was put her in harms way. All he wanted to d, was keep Meryl safe.

 

He walked down the hall, rubbing his eyes which were red from being up so long. It was 7:30, very early for him to be awake, but he hoped Meryl was already awake as well. Knocking lightly, he called her name through the door.

 

“Yes?” Vash heard her sweet voice through the thin barrier.

 

“It's me.” He was a quiet as he could be as long as she could hear him. “May I come in?”

 

“Sure. The door's open.”

 

Flashback

“No!”

 

The sound had woken Vash up immediately; his brother's terrified scream. The blonde jumped out of bed, running to his door. As he stepped out of the hall way he was pushed out of the way by Milly. The first thing he did was get to Meryl. If Knives was hurt, Meryl would be the first one Vash would see to patch him up.

 

He opened the door and she was already heading out, her robe half tied. Before giving Meryl a chance to say anything, Vash grabbed her hand, dragging her in the next room to help his brother.

 

End flashback

 

“We leave in three days. You, Milly, Knives, and I. I don't know if we'll have any means of transportation so we may have to walk.” Vash said, straightforwardly. Meryl knew by the town of his voice how much danger they were really in.

 

She nodded in response. “I may be able to get four thomas or bus tickets.”

 

“No bus. If we do, we'll be putting the other passengers in danger.” He stated. “And you two should train. Keep your derringers loaded and accounted for at all times.

 

“Right”

 

Flashback

 

“Where's our colts?” Knives asked, looking up at Vash.

 

“I left them in the desert. They're probably either flooded or filled with sand by now.”

 

“Damn it Vash! It took me a year to build those damn guns!” Knives raged, his voice returning to him. “You ruined my own creations!”

 

Vash replied calmly: “They wouldn't be of any help anyways. You know as well as I do that if we use up too much energy we'll burn out. It'd be better if we just get new guns. We'll pick the old ones up on the way. If you can build them…you can fix them right?”

 

End Flashback

 

“So I trust you'll tell Milly for me?”

 

Meryl nodded as she closed the door. Leaving him standing in the hallway, waiting for his next move. He needed to get guns.

 

???

 

Why…did I care that the women were in danger. I know that I shouldn't…but the look on her face… The only thing Knives could think of since he woke up was Milly's shocked expression as he pointed his gun at his brother, and then at her. And for some reason, it hurt him.

 

He remembered how he felt when he went into Milly's dreams a few weeks before, but this was worse. It was the same kind of pain, but now it felt…more personal. But why? He didn't have any feelings for her did he? No…impossible…

 

But if there are any humans on this dusty wasteland…that don't deserve death…it would be her. He knew Meryl didn't deserve it, and he knew why she didn't. But why didn't Milly? She was…kind. Even though what I had done. How is she able to show so much forgiveness? Is it really possible for a human to be so…perfect? Wait…No…I can't develop feelings for this inferior being! I can't let it…but... Knives thought for a second. Would it really be that bad?

 

???

 

Meryl lay on her bed, gazing up at the ceiling. She hated whoever it was that was after them. They had worried Vash, and basically threatened to kill him in her dream. And in Knives' they had killed her best friend as well. The two of them having the same dream was definitely not coincidence.

 

But who was it? Whoever they were, she had to make sure that their plan didn't succeed. In the morning…she would start her training. And Vash was going to help her.

 

???

 

Milly was glad that she didn't have to stay as the others left, but was upset because she knew that if she stayed with Knives her feelings of him would grow beyond that of friendship. She didn't want it to, but she had no control over it. Not just because she only wanted to love only Wolfwood, but because she felt that if she fell for Knives, she would be betraying Wolfwood.

 

Why does my heart have to be so…insane? She thought, looking back on the few days earlier, holding him in her arms, breathing in his scent. Her heart was beating high in her chest, like it had done that night before Wolfwood had died. When she realized it, she didn't have the heart to let him go, so she just sat with him and let him cry on her shoulder.

 

Truth be told, she loved the way she felt when her heart pounded like that, but she also hated that it had to be for…Knives. It wasn't a feeling of love just yet, but if she continued to be so close to him, it wouldn't be friendship any longer. The only hope she had, was knowing that he would never love a human. That he would consider it to be lowering himself. If she couldn't restrain her emotions, he would.

 

But still, the fact that she is becoming close to him in that matter makes her sick slightly. She was falling for the killer of her one love. Nick…help me…I don't want to betray you…I don't want…to hurt you…

 

Note:Yes I know that it was kinda stupid…but I have been through a lot lately, my cat died, my best friend and I got into a huge friendship risking argument where our mom's even had to get involved. I was just busy for the past week. I don't know If I will be able to update in the next two weeks because I have what is called The Variety Show coming up and I have dress rehearsal in two weeks and next week is Band Banquet and Band competition. So yeah, I am going to be busy all week. Wish me luck in updating though!
