Fighter of The Dawn
Ch-1*Presently in Italy-with Bella*
'Damn. How'd the hell did I put myself in a dangerous situation like this... Again?!' Bella thought as Alice, Edward, and herself walked like prisoners walking the green mile. Their vampire guards consisted of a dark haired child who barely looked thirteen, a bulky built man, and a finely toned man. 'I think the girl's name is Jane. The other two I don't know yet.'
The group walked passed by a receptionist who had green eyes. 'She's human!', Bella was in shock at first. 'Of course they need humans for their daytime work.' She thought. The woman welcomed Jane while the girl barely acknowledged her at all. They continued on into a grand doorway and met a boy who looked only at Jane. 'He looks like her too' Bella tried to calm herself with humor.
"Jane, my twin sister." He said affectionately. "Alec." She replied just as lovely. They kissed each other on the cheek as their greeting. The boy, Alec said, "Aro only told you to bring back one and you bring two and a half." 'The half part being me I bet.' Bella thought not amused. Jane grinned the most childlike, innocent smile at him. "Yes. I thought it appropriate to present them to Master Aro." After that was said Alec opened the doors.
"Jane dear! You've returned!", said a royally dressed dark haired man. 'That must be their master.' Bella thought with disgust. 'Keep it looking scared like a normal human would.' She replaced the look in her eyes before the man looked at her. He then looked at Jane expectedly. Bella was a great actress little did Edward who was right beside her know. Jane walked up to her master and he kissed her softly on the cheek.
"Yes Master Aro. I've brought Edward to you as promised." Jane said a bit cocky. Aro chuckled pleased with his underling.
"You even brought Bella and Alice with you! See?" He looked at Edward posing the question, "Aren't you glad I didn't grant your wish?" Edwards jaw tensed as he said, "Yes. Thank you." Aro continued, "This is something to share with my brothers! Felix?" he looked at bulky man who led us here. "Be a dear and fetch them for me." Felix nodded scurrying off to do his bidding. "This is a situation that needs to be explained. Would you care to do the honor Edward?" He sounded like he just wanted to have a normal conversation.
Alice butted in then, "No. It was all my fault for not being sure about my vision. That's why all this happened." She used her lovely voice and sounded like a child who made a small mistake.
Aro Laughed like he didn't have a care in the world. "Oh, Alice! Don't be so modest." Edward walked up to Aro offering his hand. That's when Bella remembered Aro's gift. He could read every single thought you've ever had through his palms. A tiny strike of fear went through Bella's body. 'Hopefully he wouldn't be able to read my mind like Edward…' Aro was calm as he read Edward's thoughts and smiled.
"How very interesting." He said as his brothers Marcus and Caius walked like they were floating and then sat down in their chairs that were both sides of Aro's. Marcus looked bored, while Caius looked stern and cold. "Edward may I see?" Aro indicated towards Bella. Edward looked at him expressionless and replied, "Ask HER." "Oh, yes! How rude of me! Bella may I see if you can shield against my gift as you see it's similar to Edwards." She looked at Edward with wide eyes as she knew was expected to do and saw him nod.
Bella took the few steps toward him and reached out her hand. Aro took her hand in his. It felt not hard, but soft. 'Not what I was expecting considering the vampires I know feel like marble.' She thought reigning in her shock. 'Well here's the moment of truth…' Aro's face lost some enthusiasm, but was thoughtful.
"Interesting, very interesting. I wonder if she's immune to our other gifts. Jane?" Aro turned to the child.
"Yes Aro?" Jane replied happily. "No!" Edward roared and things got set in motion.
*Presently in New York-with Ash*
'Oh God…' tears fell from Ash's eyes as he stared at his friend's body on the medical table. His friend Shorter Wong was dead. Half of his head was gone surgically removed. 'Those bastards experimented on him!' Shorter had been his best friend since reform school and the boss of Chinatown's underground teenage gangs. Soon Ash climbed to the top of the teenage underground gangs in Downtown. A movement from the evil doctor in the corner fidgeted. Ash immediately turned on him with rage in his eyes. The doctor froze as Ash put his hand in his face in despair and through his blonde hair, but still watched him.
"Oh God… What did you to him?" He asked even though he already knew what the answer was. The doctors pumped Shorter up with a mind control drug known as Banana Fish. And when he was ordered to kill a Japanese boy named Eiji Okumura he had no choice, before Shorter lost all his senses he begged Ash to kill him. In that way Shorter got freedom by Ash's bullet. Shorter Wong died, so he could protect his friends Ash, Eiji, Max Lobo, and Ibe-san( Shunichi).
The cowered doctor Abraham Dawson was his name. Ash stared him down like he was an insect that needed to be squashed. Dr. Dawson yelled, "It was done by Golzine's orders! Nobody! At least not me… I can't defy him! I had no choice." Dr. Dawson knew of Ash's grudge toward him and knew he would kill him for what he did to his brother Griffin Callenreese. In other words Griffin was the first victim of Banana Fish. So he tried to blame it all on Golzine and plead for his life. "Pl… please! I'm sorry about your brother! I'm sorry about Griffin! Please don't kill me!"
Ash with tears in his jade colored eyes for his friend and his brother shot the man with all the M-16 had left. The blood spattered on the wall and a bit got on his face. He didn't feel any emotion for he felt more number as he killed another human being. He stood there for a moment and dried his eyes and just as he turned to leave the crumbling medical building he saw a Chinese boy about 14. 'I recognize him he was Shorter's cousin Sing Soo-Ling.' Ash thought as he walked toward the boy near the exit. "Hey kid, we need to get out of here."
"Where's our boss Shorter Ash Lynx?" Sing asked with a demand in his voice. 'Kid doesn't beet around the bush does he?' Ash thought as he decided to be straight with his answer.
"He's dead. I killed him." He said his voice cold with conviction and a bit of regret. The boys eyes widened shocked. Sing was devastated to hear Ash's confession for he had always looked up to Ash and aspired to be like him one day. He knew Ash wouldn't lie to him too. Ash watched as his answer sank in and begged with his thoughts, 'Please don't ask why and just hate me. I'll only put you in danger with all that I know of the drug.'
Sing launched his attack with his wire strings. Ash blocked with the M-16 and pulled Sing to the ground and hit the boy in the face. Just to stun him, not to injure him. "You're a hundred years too young to fight me kid. Now leave you don't stand a chance."
Sing glared and yelled, "Why Ash? You and Shorter were best friends?!" His question stabbed where it hurt. It was a question that he'd hoped to avoid. Ash turned away from the boy. Sing took that chance to get up and get in front of him. "Hey! Don't walk away from this. You're out of bullets and I have the chance here if I wanted to kill you." The boy growled as Ash sad eyes bore into his angry dark ones.
"I freed him. That's all I can say Sing." The expression on Sings face changed from anger to confusion. Before the information sunk in Ash said, "We got to get out of here This place will soon be filled with the cops." Sings face told him that he wasn't going to let this conversation slide next time. They ran out of the building as fast as they could and they joined up with their gangs a few blocks away. When they met their boys Sing and Ash had a silent agreement and went their separate ways. Eiji looked at Ash with relief that his American friend was safe. They all were at least for now…
