I have finally updated, I don't know why it took so long. I feel like a bad person...Please review!
Nero woke up gasping for air, fists grasping his pillow when he realised it was a dream, he sighed and rolled over. He had been having dreams like that ever since Natalya had left him a month ago now...
Raven was packing her bags and was dressed in a pair of jeans and a thin grey jumper instead of her usual black jumpsuit and kantanas. Nero entered the room and watched her from behind,
"I know your there Nero" she said as she tried to cram the last few items into the old kitbag,
"Why are you leaving me like this, what have I done?" He asked
"You still don't understand do you" said Raven turing to face him with a sad smile "and that is why I have to leave, because you will never understand."
Nero adopted a stronger tone, "you can't go, I won't let you, I have guards and—" her evil smile cut him off,
"If you do not let me go I will cut to pieces every student, guard or teacher who stands in my way" Nero scrutinised her face as he had learned to do, looking for the tiny signs that she was bluffing. She was not bluffing.
"Please, Natalya whatever I have done I can make things better—just please—" Raven started walking from the room briskly and he tagged along beside her pleading, only she could reduce him to being like this. As she walked into the launch crater she turned to face Nero.
"I will take a shroud and pilot it myself, then I will set the auto pilot back to H.I.V.E.. If you place any kind of destructive device inside the shroud or chose to have it followed I will come back to H.I.V.E and deal with you as I see fit." Nero had nothing to say, he just gulped. Nero watched in wonder and the shroud lifted off into the circle of light hundreds of metres up until it was hidden by smoke. As the downdraft from the shroud blew his hair out of its gelled perfection he realised this would be his last memory of her. But as she had said, there was nothing she could do so he turned around and headed back to his quarters.
Nero groaned and rolled over, why did he care so much about her, she was only another person he employed. But she had been more than that hadn't she Nero, a niggling voice in the back of his head told him. It was funny, he never really appreciated her until she was gone, maybe that's what she meant, maybe she would come back now! Nero quashed the thought, it would never happen, he knew her well enough to see the look in her eyes, she wasn't coming back. He wondered where she was now, probably employed by someone else, for a higher price...
