Chapter one: From my dreams
(From my dreams: Evangelion Vox Soundtrack)
The little 6-year-old blonde girl gazed at her nanny "Nanna
where's mommy?" the girl asked. "Oh miss Josephine, I told you, your mother is
in a business trip, I dunno when she'll come back" The nanny replied as she shoved the girl out of the kitchen. She
treaded upstairs to her room and she
stood facing her window, staring at the
magnificent environs after a few minutes she observed a red sports car getting
closer to the residence, Her eyes grew open
as she smiled widely. She dashed downstairs to the front door of the residence to catch up with her dad.
The man –whom was her dad-- opened the
door and she hugged him "Daddy, daddy! I missed you! I'm happy you're here
again!" The man stared at the girl as he busted off the grip of the girl's
arms. "Don't hassle me! Go to your room, or with your nanny, but get out of my
sight!" The man whispered coolly. The girl felt a chill running up her spine
and ran upstairs to her room, bursting into tears. "will mommy come back soon?"
she whimpered softly in her bed.

Is 3:45 AM, Hunter
Head Quarters were quite. Inside of all the apartments the residents were
sleeping peacefully. Yet, Zero wasn't quite, ever since the 5th
fight he and X had against Sigma, and despite he found who he really was, new
nightmares begin to haunt his mind. This time wasn't Dr. Wily or his evil
schemes, or the memory of the first fight he had with Sigma, this nightmares
were completely different. And they seemed to not going to drown from his mind.
And right now he was having one of his nightmares:
"Hey Jo, you look cool!" a 13-year-old
girl whispered to a blonde one of the same age, she was in front of a mirror
trying on a pair of Levi's jeans and a Denim t-shirt. Her long hair tied back
on a ponytail. "Your right Mona, well ready to go to the bash?" She inquired
joyfully to her friend Mona. After a minutes the girl run off to the party. The
party was going fine, until some guys decided to bring in alcohol and some
marihuana to 'have more fun' or that was they said, most of the girls start to
leave the party knowing to not to endanger themselves, but the blonde girl and
her friend Mona felt so overconfident
and decided to keep on the party a few more minutes. Soon the party
turned into a battlefield and some guys begin to lose total control of their
actions, this was the moment Mona decided to tell 'Jo' to leave. "Jo, please
it's time to go or we'll be in troubles" The blonde girl glanced at her friend
and uttered "are you a coward?" "No Jo, but it's better to run away NOW! Or.."
She was shut by a big hand over her mouth, and she was hold in a tight grip by
a pair of strong arms, the same luck for Jo "Hey let go on me!" Shouted Jo,
before being slapped across her face "Shut up, bitch, or I'll rip you to
pieces.!" A young man said to her. One of the young mans started to tear off
Mona's clothes from her small body "NO, let her go!!" Jo yelled, but didn't
have an answer, instead she was slapped again "Shut up, fucking bitch! Now,
watch carefully what we are gonna do to your little friend" A young man said to
her, forcing her to watch as his friend violated Mona in front of Jo's eyes,
tears started to run down Jo's cheeks for God's sake, let her go… please,
stop it! She thought down her sobs, once the young man finished his dirty
game, Mona was pushed away hardly, Mona was curled and crying desperately. The
young men gazed at her and laugh "It's your turn, you fucking bitch!" One of
the boys came closer to her, but Jo broke free and instinctively started to run as fast as she could leaving
Mona behind. I am sorry Mona but I could not do anything now She
realized, tears coming from her eyes.
Then Zero woke
up, cold sweat running all over his body, "What was that? This nightmares are
so real, but who was that girl I was supposed to be in the dream? I am going nuts
or what? Hell, I hate this!" He sat on his bed despite he was asleep, but
nothing would make him shut eye in the rest of the night, he was thinking about
all the mysteries which surrounded him, he was doing this until the first
golden strand of the light of the sun reached his through his window to where
he was, he stood up and decided to take a bath.
The alarm of
the training room echoed in the hall announcing the first train of the day, it was
X's train, though X didn't pay attention to it and he let another hunter take
his place for this time "I haven't seen Zero, he's always the first in this
hall…" X realized. Concerned, X walked through the long corridors to Zero's
apartment. What he found was a disappointing sight, Zero was seated in the edge
of his bed, staring blankly to the wall in front of him, X gasped and walked
towards Zero, he rested a hand on Zero's shoulder "Hey buddy, aren't you going
to the training hall to laugh your ass off of me?" Zero glanced at him and
sighed deeply, "No X, I'm not feeling well, I need to be alone, it's better
you're not around bothering me for a good time kid, kapesh?" scolded Zero in an
angst tone, X was used to be scolded that harshly by Zero, but this time he
found no reason for Zero to be angry. X nodded and lowered his head what
the fuck is going on? X thought. Then he uttered "Gomen… I didn't want to…
well I'll met with you when you feel better, then" X turned o0n his heels and
walked out of Zero's room to the training hall. This time x was not
concentrated in his training, so he did not good points, he quit the training "What ever is happening to
Zero? He has been very depressed by the last month… I never saw him like that,
this is going to eat me from inside, and I feel without the guts to help him,
besides, he don't wants to see me anymore…" His stomach churn. He walked his
way to a big garden where he sat down a big tree.
X realized how
Zero was, X always thought he knew him very well, despite Zero doesn't even known himself, he was wrong,
Zero was a mystery and his dreams as well, he suffered a dramatic change of
heart and mind after the 5th five they had with Sigma, as well as X
did. "Zero is not the same guy, he's not as aggressive as he used to be, his
eyes doesn't glow anymore, his smile is not cocky or happy, now, is empty, yet he still possess his soul, our lives
changed all of a sudden, yet I miss the
blond haired jerk Zero used to be, his yelling, his cockiness, my endless fight
with him… I would do ANYTHING to get the old Zero back!" X thoughts were
wrecked by a little girl in pigtails named Chibi "Hello X! Hey wanna play with
me?!" Chibi shouted at him. X stared at the little figure and smiled "Gee,
hello Chibi! How ya been?" X stood up and gripped the little girl's hand and
start on walking with her through the garden in silence "You're worried about
Zero, right?" The girl started, X gazing at her puzzled "Huh? How did you know
it?" X questioned "Well I just know it, it's pretty obvious, you two used to
love to be together at least in the lunch time, but it's been 'bout a month I
don't see you two together so often" The girl grinned mischievously at X, whom
shook his head and let out a sigh, silence won again, "Relax a little X, you could
not do anything to help, Zero has covered himself in an invisible shell, and
will not allow anyone to listen to his thought, nightmares or see him crying,
it may sound harmful, but he'll not accept you until he found the peace on his
mind" Chibi uttered "You shall not say that!!" X responded in an angst tone, he
realized what have he done and retracted "Gomen… I didn't want to yell at you…"
X said "No worry, it's okay" Responded Chibi, smiling, she started to run X
chasing her, playing among the trees, playing… one of the best way to forget
pain and sadness.
Zero walked
towards the nursery, he go through in it slowly looking for Life-Saver
"Life-Saver, where are you ol' man?" Life-saver walked to him from behind "I
told you no to call me by that name, anyways what's wrong?" Said the old
Life-Saver, Zero lowered his head staring at the floor, he did not respond,
there was a long pause, after what Zero sighed deeply "Life-Saver… cha 'know
there's something wrong on me… those nightmares are driving me crazy, I can't
stand 'em anymore, I've changed a lot… I-I never figured out that someday I was
going to say this, but… I need your help. Now that Dr. Cain passed away you're
the last one who can help me or at least I hope so…" Life-Saver noticed the
look on Zero's eyes a desperate yet blank look, and nodded "Ok, but it's too
late to talk today, but come to me tomorrow at 6 o' clock in the morning,
Okay?" Zero nodded and walked out of the nursery, after a while he met with
Chibi and X in the corridors, he glanced at them without stop giving an small
grin to Chibi as he made his way to the cafeteria.
X followed Zero
with his sight, he wanted to say something, however for a moment he forgot how
to speak, he let out a sigh and guided Chibi to his apartment. "Well Chibi, I
guess you'll have to stay here, it's too late"
Zero stared at
the starry sky and whimpered "Why are you punishing me this way, huh, old man?"
he said softly to the sky as if he were talking to somebody up there "It's just
because I don't believe in nothing, but my own strength? Or is because I was
created by a human akin to a devil? I don't want this dreams anymore, at least
let me sleep in peace if your not gonna take me away from this fucking
world!"
