The Runaway's Tale The Runaway's Tale
(Timeline, this takes place a months before the main plan with Millennium, this is just a build up to it. This takes place after the events from the second season of Weiss Kreuz, NOT Gluhen events.)
Chapter 2: Betrayals
Nagi sat watching TV, he could hear the sound of the phone again, and he looked over to see Rip leaving the living room. He was sure something was going on, she was watching him, but he knew something was strange about her.
She closed the blinds and walked up behind him. "Nagi, could you please close your eyes," she whispered to him gently.
"Ka-san?"
Suddenly he felt something against him, a needle going into his throat, he started to struggle. "Shh…your mother ist here," she whispered to him. "Don't use your povers, just rest, just rest."
He slipped into a deep sleep, he could not believe he was tricked so easily.
Rip stood over the small form of the teenager, Nagi, she gave enough of the sedative to keep him knocked out for awhile. She sat down on the bed next to the boy, then looked up as she checked his breathing. "Soon, soon you vill be free," she smiled leaving the room and closing the door behind her. "Soon you vill be my son for good. You vill make a beautiful wampire."
She went to get ready for the arrival of the major, her long black hair was undone and she stood staring into a mirror. She went back to the boy's room and locked the window and the door. Her eyes were closed, she walked through the streets her gun on her shoulder.
Nagi woke suddenly, he found he was tied down onto the bed, his powers only made a little work, but he found himself trapped inside the bedroom. He paced trying to get out, he wanted out, he could not believe someone would do this to him. He trembled and started to think, his mind was still cloudy from the drug, he reached for as many clothes as he could stuff into a dufflebag.
He picked up his laptop and then found all he could get, his money was still intact and some of the jobs he took around the house left him good. He used his powers to pop the lock on the door and rushed out of the house, he couldn't believe that Rip would hurt him.
He had to leave, he had to find some place to be safe, he ran down the street when he noticed Schrodinger, the boy was watching him. "Hey, Nagi, vhat…hey, come back!"
Nagi ran as fast as he could, he wouldn't let Rip or Schrodinger make him go back, he had to get away, he had to find away out of Germany. Why is it no where is safe for me? He wondered this as he sneaked through the streets toward the river, he thought about all the stories that Schuldich told him about his escape from Rozan Kreuz.
Rip suddenly appeared. "Nagi?"
He jumped back, he felt his body suddenly convulse, he wanted to run away, he wanted to leave. "WHY?"
"I only thought you vould be happy, you vould just need to let doc change you," she ran up to him. "Please, just let me look after you. Rozan Kreuz children didn't survive the change, but you vill, it isn't painful." She was holding him, he felt her rocking him gently as they were soon back in the bedroom, and she sat him down. "Being a wampire isn't bad."
"Ka-san," he felt his body slowly shutting down again, he was tired and he started to sleep.
It would be soon, Nagi watched, he as allowed to move about the room again, Rip was watching him, she made sure he would not escape again. She was far gentler than Crawford had been about him running away. She sat in a chair next to the bed, one of her hands forever stroking his hair as he slept, she hummed strange tunes that he had heard a Rozan Kreuz.
He knew that he had a preprogrammed personality that was given to him at Rozan Kreuz, he remembered because Schuldich told him. He had no will of his own when the preprogrammed words were said, when the orders were given, but somehow the German assassin had taken away the program.
She was humming a tune that was supposed to turn the boy into a puppet, but that would not work, he just pretended.
Lying still in the bed, he waited until Rip was convinced that he was asleep, he opened his eyes only to see Schrodinger smiling at him. "You vere pretending!" He giggled and leaned back. "Nagi, vhy do you vant to leave us? Ve like you."
"I don't want to be a vampire," Nagi sat up and stared at the boy.
"Vell, tell doc that, he von't change you if you are not villing," the other boy smiled and leaned back.
Rip slipped into her room and sighed, she pulled her phone up to her ear and then dialed a number. "Hallo," she heard the male voice.
"Doc, it ist me," she whispered.
"Did you give the boy the rest of the drug?"
"Ja, I have, somehow the programmed song isn't vorking on him, are you sure dat he's….dat he's one of them?" She pressed her fingers into the phone looking around. "I don't vant to hurt him if it ist not true."
"You said his name vas Nagi Naoe, he is Epitaph 5, hard to believe," Doc was talking slowly. "How did he escape from Schwarz?"
She went back to the bedroom and checked on the boy who gazed out a window, she seemed a little concerned. "You vere in Schwarz, how did you escape?"
Nagi's eyes were down. "I just ran away, I got tired of them using me. You're going to use me too, aren't you, ka-san?"
Rip almost looked upset, she touched his cheek. "I vould never use you, you're precious to me, my little Nagi. If you vere a wampire, no one vould hurt you."
This felt like an offer, something that he felt scared of. "I don't want to be a vampire."
She stroked his hair as he lay on the bed, his eyes were down, and he never could bring himself to push her away with his powers. "I von't let you be hurt," she kissed his forehead.
I have to run, Nagi decided, he waited, but he did not know if waiting was a good idea. He had to think of some way to escape, he was aware of strange moments like his body was fuzzy. "I'm sorry," he could hear Rip talking. "But if you keep trying to run avay, I have to drain your blood."
He whimpered, he felt almost too sad, he had to get out of here. He struggled a little one morning, he knew she was sleeping. His bonds were undone, he saw Schrodinger standing by the window looking out. "You better go," he smiled at him and waved to him holding a bag up.
Grabbing the bag, Nagi ran, and it was the last time he could remember ever being able to run as fast as he could, he made it the river and climbed into a barge. He slowly went into a deep sleep, he held onto his things and wondered where the barge was going.
He wondered if he would ever see Rip again, he thought sadly, he liked her, he liked how he felt with her.
He heard the sound of bells, he looked over and found the barge was docked in London, he climbed out and walked through the docks, he looked around. He was still a little sick, he couldn't breath a little and reached through his bag, what he found out was he had left behind his inhaler.
He let out a gasp, he started to moan trying to figure out how he was going to get by. He leaned against the wall, he held his passport and started to walk through the streets to find a place to sleep.
He knew that being out in the open only met that he would be found so easily and taken back to Rip. He made sure that he hid in places where there was enough people, he knew if none of Rip's people would dare come out in public to attack or even snag him. He wandered through the streets though, he was hungry and he knew that no matter what he was going to need to eat soon.
He reached into his pocket and thought about how he was going to pay for eating, he knew he had no real money and even using the emergency cash would give something traceable to Schwarz.
How could Ka-san do this! He thought as he walked into a park, he knew that something was following him. He turned around as the creature walked up and pushed him against the tree. Using his powers, he pushed the creature away and suddenly dashed passed a woman with blond hair holding a strange looking gun.
Seras did not know what she saw, for one moment the vampire had pushed the small teenager against a tree, the next the vampire was soon pushed away. She saw the strange boy was suddenly breathing hard, he was looking sick too. "Hey, you all right?"
The boy's face was fine, she checked if he was bitten, but there was nothing, he just seemed a little stunned.
