Until The End Of You
Vacation
Train, Eve, and Sven climbed off the train. Eve had a book with her, it was one of the most interesting ones she had ever read. It was Eragon. (A/N: I don't own the book copyrights those belong to C.P.) At the moment she couldn't take her eyes from it, so Sven pushed her around to make sure that she avoided running into things.
Train was stretching as he walked. He'd just gotten up from a nap. He was having the weirdest dream when he woke up too, but now he'd forgotten it.
Sven had been tinkering with some guns and what not, trying to make new bullets, make them smaller and more portable, he hadn't gotten very far though.
"Whoa! Look out!" Train said, he pulled Eve back before Sven noticed. A girl ran by she looked frantic, as she ran by she yelled 'Sorry!', then kept running.
"Weird." Sven commented, Eve hadn't noticed an of this, her nose still in her book.
"Princess, I think I'll take that." Train said, he took her book and then closed it, after taking her bookmark and marking the page.
"Hey!" Eve protested.
"Train's right. Come on, let's get to our safe house here." Sven said, Eve crossed her arms over her chest and walked with Sven and Train. All the while Eve was shooting glares at Train.
"Oh all right!" Train said as he handed her the book. "No need to give those evil, dirty looks!" Train added, Sven rolled his eyes. What a push over. Sven thought. Eve happily took her book, but didn't open it.
"So where's the safe house?" Eve asked as they walked out and onto the sidewalk, it was silent, not even a car went by. "Aren't there supposed to be people here?" Eve asked.
"Yeah." Train answered.
"Somethings not right." Sven said as he looked around.
"There's a killer on the loose in this city. Not like Gyanza, which you took down fairly easily." a woman's voice said. Sven, Eve, and Train looked to where it was coming from. This woman was was few inches shorter than Train. Her hair was a gold color and her eyes were brown. "Welcome to town. Have fun not getting killed." she added, then walked down the street.
Train watched her go, she seemed familar somehow, but he had met a lot of people, so it was probably just his imagination.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!" someone screamed, imediatly Train had his gun drawn, Sven had his ready, and Eve was preparing to change. All three of them ran to the scene. There was a girl penned in a corner by a man with a knife.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Train yelled, he fired off some bullets, but they were reflected back at them. "Whoa!" Train ducked to avoid being hit.
"There's a sheild." Sven said. Eve transformed her hands into a mallet and went to bang him on the head, she bounced back after hitting the sheild. "There has to be a weak point!"
"It's at his feet!" the girl yelled. "Aim for his feet!" Sven and Train aimed for his feet, then fired. The man hollered in pain, then made a quick escape, he had dropped the girl after he had begun to choke her, she was coughing up a storm now.
"Are you all right?" Eve asked.
"Yes. Thanks." she answered as she rubbed her throat. "I'm Yabi." she added.
"Eve, this is Train, and Sven." Eve said as she pointed to Train and Sven in turn, Sven was lighting up and Train was waving with his kitty-ish grin. Yabi stood and used the wall for support. She was an inch shorter than Train,she had midnight black hair, and deep, dark blue eyes. Her dark hair and eyes made her seem paler than she really was.
"What did he want with you?" Sven asked.
"I don't know." Yabi answered. "He just started attacking me, when I got off the train, and when I got out here." she explained.
"Oh! So that was you who ran by!" Train said.
"Yes. He was after me then, and I had to get away. I'm sorry if I caused you an inconveience."
"None at all." Sven said. "Why don't you come with us? You'll be safe where we're going." Sven added.
"I couldn't impose. I'll just get back on the train and go home." she said.
"You wouldn't be imposing." Train said. "Besides I'm sure Princess wouldn't mind sharing her bed with a girl, she's stuck with us all the time." Train added.
"All right." Yabi said, Sven and Train lead the way. Every once in a while she'd glace over her shoulder, to make sure that she wasn't being followed. Soon enough they were at the safe house. Eve went to the chouch and Yabi followed. "You live here?" she asked.
"No, this is just a safe house." Sven answered, then walked into the kitchen to start on dinner.
"We're sweepers, so we don't stay in one place too long." Train explained.
"You've come here to kill the murderer?" Yabi asked.
"Actually, we are supposed to be on vacation." Eve explained. "Though is seems like everywhere we go that our vacation is ruined."
"Well, there are people out there that just aren't meant to have vacations. It looks like you guys are some of them. My mom was the same way." Yabi answered. "What book are you reading?" Yabi asked.
"Eragon." Eve answered.
"Oh, good book. You know, the sequel to that is out." Yabi added.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I've read both and now I'm waiting for the Third Book. Wait until you see the twist they have in the second book." she added with a wink.
"You like books don't you?" Train asked.
"Oh yeah! I have my own personal libary." Yabi explained.
"Jeez, and I can't remember anything after the Table Of Contents..." Train muttered, then Sven concked him on the head. "Ow! What was that for?!" Train yelled as he nursed his sore head.
"You're not supposed to tell people you have the I.Q. of a cumquat!" Sven answered, then handed the girls their dinner.
"Thanks." both girls replied as they dug in. Train started his, and before Eve and Yabi were finished Train was already asking for thirds. Yabi was watching Train with interest, now Sven was getting suspisious.
"Yabi, can I talk to you?" Sven asked, Yabi looked away from Train and looked over to him.
"Yeah. Sure." Yabi answered, she set her plate down and walked with Sven out into the hall way.
"Why are you watching Train so much?" Sven asked, this caught Yabi off guard.
"He's an interesting person, I've never seen someone eat so much. Well, other than myself when I'm starving." Yabi explained.
"How could it of been that you knew where that murderers weakness in the sheild was, and that we just happened to see you in the train station, AND you were the one getting attacked by the murderer?" Sven asked.
"You are too many quesions. But, to answer the first question, I make sheilds like that, I work at a place where they make them, and I was the one who designed them. You saw me at the train station because I was dodging people, and ended up going in front of you because it was open there. And, to answer your last question, I was the only one on the street when he was out-and-about." Yabi explained. "Anything else, Mr. IBI?" Yabi asked, then imediatly regretted it.
"What?" Sven asked.
"Nothing." Yabi answered.
"No, you said 'Mr. IBI'...How do you know?" Sven asked.
"Know what?" Yabi asked.
"Know that I was part of the IBI." Sven answered.
"I don't."
"Yes you do, or else you wouldn't of said it."
"I didn't know you were part of the IBI, I always use that phrase."
"I doubt that. You work for someone. Like say, Chronos?" Sven asked, that didn't catch her off guard.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yabi said. Sven grabbed her collar and pulled down, there was the tatto of XII on her back. "HEY!" Yabi growled.
"I knew it!" Sven said. He let go and Yabi turned around to face him. "You work for Chronos!" Sven said, as Yabi glared at him. "The question is, why didn't Train recgonize you?"
"He's never seen me before." Yabi explained. "Well, since you know that I'm a number, I might as well get down to what I came here for." Yabi added. She kicked Sven in the stomach, ran into the living room, then grabbed Eve.
"Princess!" Train yelled. Yabi turned to Train and waved with a wink.
"See you, Black Cat!" Yabi jumped out the window and just before she did, knocked Eve unconsious.
"Damn!" Sven growled as he staggered into the room. "Train, she's one of the Numbers." Sven explained.
"Which one?!"
"Twelve."
"The only one I never saw." Train cursed. "It only figures that they'd send the one Number I never met to take Eve. No doubt that they want to make more people like her." Train cursed under his breath. "I guess this means no vacation."
"Right. We get right on finding Eve." Sven agreed. They turned everything off, and started looking for Yabi and Eve.
