'My world', he said it with distaste and hatred, his voice sounding as though it were spitting in disgust. Sique's eyes darted nervously over his features, she was shaking her head slowly. She knew who he was, but he wasn't. It was impossible and even a dreamer like Sique would not allow herself to believe it.
He smirked hatingly, his green-blue eyes narrowing and focusing on Sique. Another cold laugh escaped his lips, '' Why are you so frightened?...I'm not going to hurt you.''
'' If you...are....really...who...I think...you are....but you couldn't be...it doesn't make sense...dead people stay dead....if you are really him...then I have every right to fear you, everyone did...except...'' She knew better than to his name. Depression fueled violence.
The young man looked away. Sique was dumb to have brought that up, she now shuffled back, afraid that he would destroy her.
'' You're wise to fear me...but I don't intend to hurt you. What would be the point in doing that, when you're so much more useful alive.''
'' Useful...?'' Sique asked nervously
'' Yes...You see, you can only see me and converse with me because you wear the crystal around your neck.'' He stepped closer to Sique, lowering himself to gaze at the crystal, still shimmering brightly. She looked terrified.
'' You really are who I thought! You really are Ramirez!'' Her voice was trembling.
'' How did you know who I was?''
Sique sucked her tongue thoughtfully, not as afraid. He was asking her something. If he had wanted her dead, he probably would have burnt her to death by now, '' Captain Vigoro showed me pictures of all the Admirals. And he told me about you, too.''
Ramirez raised an eyebrow. Close up, he wasn't so threatening. His eyes looked bitterly sad, and he really didn't seem to want to kill her. She was still scared of him, but she had stopped shaking and was now looking over his features with more interest.
'' You...work...for Vigoro?''
Sique blushed, she didn't like the way he said 'work'. Everyone did it, and it embarassed her to no end. She was no common slutt, but working on Vigoro's ship with a bunch of girls who were gave her a bad reputation, '' I'm his gunner...I don't...uh...I'm just his gunner...that's all I do for him...just because all of the other girls do....uh...night shifts....I stay with him because his past interests me...and I have nothing better to do...'' Sique pushed herself up to standing position.
'' Avenge me.''
Sique blinked at Ramirez, '' Excuse me!?'' He hadn't really said that, had he!? Why would Ramirez want her help!?
'' You have nothing better to do,'' Ramirez pointed out, '' I want you to murder Vyse and the others.''
He said it as though it was a simple task, sounding like someone might if they were asking you to get them a pair of socks. Sique blinked repeatedly, '' I can't murder Vyse! I don't even know him!''
Ramirez shook his head, his light, dust-blonde hair waving on either side of his face. Insanely, Sique started wondering how soft it was...Sique was known for thinking of the most random thoughts at serious moments, '' He's an idiot. He doesn't deserve to live. He killed Lord Galcian.''
Sique knew who Galcian was. He had been Vigoro's, Ramirez's and all of the other's boss before the Armada was destroyed (and reformed later, but with a different purpose in mind), someone who Vigoro spoke of with fearful respect, and who she knew Ramirez had looked up to like no other. Lord Galcian and Ramirez had been planning to call down the Rains of Destruction and destroy the world, but Galcian had been destroyed, and later, so had Ramirez. Sique didn't know the details, she had only been told of these things through gossip at her old home; Sailor's Island.
She noted how Ramirez seemed to care much more about Galcian's death than his own, and would have found it sweet if not for the fact that he was evil.
'' Ramirez...Vyse and the others are very powerful...''
'' So are you. I can feel your strength.''
Sique was unnerved by this, '' I couldn't kill them. There's lots of them, and only one of me.''
Ramirez looked at Sique for a long time, '' You don't look very threatening...just tell Vyse that you want a job as one of his crew; catch him when his back is turned.''
Sique sighed.
'' If you were telling the truth, you won't mind leaving Vigoro's crew.''
'' I wouldn't miss Vigoro...but...but...why don't you just do it yourself?''
Ramirez blinked, '' Little girl...I don't know if you've realised this yet but...I'm dead. I'm not coming back.''
He didn't seem to be bothered atall by this, but it bothered Sique. She was talking to something dead. That wasn't right. A thought crossed her mind, '' If you're dead...then you can't hurt me..''
'' I can kill you. You wear my silver crystal. Your heartbeat gave it life. In the same way that I can take your life away if you decide to be useless...but that would be stupid...If I killed you, it would destroy the crystal, and I would never be able to get revenge.''
Sique's eyes swelled with fear, '' Why did I steal this thing!?''
Ramirez smiled darkly, '' Because it interests you. Just like Vigoro's stories do.''
Sique sucked her tongue, '' I'll find Vyse...and kill him...'' The end part of her answer was a lie...Sique didn't believe for one minute that she would be able to kill Vyse; even if she wanted to. But finding him could prove to be fun.
Ramirez nodded, his hand reaching out to the crystal around the young girl's neck, Sique noticed that, unlike his right hand, Ramirez's left hand had no glove on. His bare fingers enclosed around the shining crystal, and everything went black.
He smirked hatingly, his green-blue eyes narrowing and focusing on Sique. Another cold laugh escaped his lips, '' Why are you so frightened?...I'm not going to hurt you.''
'' If you...are....really...who...I think...you are....but you couldn't be...it doesn't make sense...dead people stay dead....if you are really him...then I have every right to fear you, everyone did...except...'' She knew better than to his name. Depression fueled violence.
