Chapter 4:
Revelation
A/N: For those who don't know, Inan is a character I made up...i.e. not part of the original story line, along with his father. (His father is the evil guy).
My thanks for this chapter goes out to Alucard...Thank you for your support and for taking the time to send reviews. Your feedback is appreciated. I look forward to your thoughts on this chapter.
Please take the time to review this...I would like to hear from everyone.
Well enough ranting...ON WITH THE STORY!
Inan awoke to voices around him. His mother was standing in the doorway, apparantly yelling at his father. "I can't believe you would do this! I can't believe I left him alone with you!" She slammed the door. "I can't believe I was so naive...I should have known..."
Inan tried to speak, but his throat was dry making his voice little more than a whisper. "M-mother..." he said.
His mother turned and approached his bedside. "I'm so glad you're alright...I should have known. Nobody would have had so many 'accidents' within days of each other. Especially you..."
Inan smiled, although he was not paying full attention to what his mother was saying. His smile quickly faded. "He...he's going to kill her...he wants me to see it...Mother...I..."
His mother stopped hearing the strain in his voice from him withholding his tears. "Shh...It'll be okay. We won't let him. He won't touch her..." His mother reached a hand out and pushed aside some stray hair. "I won't allow him to." **************************************************************************** *******************
Rave was so glad to be in a decent hotel for once, and the fact that there was a bar downstairs added to her content. She just wanted to know why she was the one stuck with the girl and Zero got the guys.
Meryl wondered where the real Milly was. She hoped she was alright.
"She's just fine..." Rave answered, sprawled across one of the huge beds, her feet hanging off the side.
Meryl looked up at her. "I'm sure...but I can't help but wonder what has happened to her..."
"I know...but I just have a feeling the person behind all this only wants one of us..."
"Who?"
Rave shrugged. "Not sure...but I'm sure the princess knows..."
Meryl trusted her for now. She just hoped they would make it in time...for Milly...and for Wolfwood's sake. **************************************************************************** *******************
Zero sat near the window. She had changed into a light, silver nightgown that came almost to her knees and had spaghetti straps. Wolfwood had settled in bed and had fallen into a deep sleep. Vash sat in a chair near his bed and watched Zero.
Her usual serious expression had grown sad. She pulled her braid over her shoulder and removed the band near the end. She began to run her fingers through the long, dark locks causing the braid to give way to wavy hair.
Vash couldn't help but feel that her expression was all too familiar. He was beginning to remember their childhood together, but it was all so foggy. Yet one moment stood vivid in his mind, brought to him by watching Zero's sad face.
"Zero..." he called gently.
Zero looked over at him. "Hmm?"
"I just remembered something...you remember..when we were younger...that night you had a bad dream?"
Zero dropped her hands to her lap. "Yeah...you came in to see why I was crying."
"Yeah....and I sat on your bed and you hugged me..."
Zero laughed. "I felt so comfortable around you...I used to say you took the rain away...I really enjoyed our time together..." Zero rose and approached him.
Vash saw her expression brighten, but her eyes still reflected her inner turmoil. He held out his arms inviting Zero in.
Zero gladly accepted and returned his embrace. Vash felt her tense muscles relax and he heard her smiles in her soft breaths. This was a side of Zero Vash never expected to see.
"Thank you....my brother..." Zero said before sleep overcame her.
Vash felt his eyes tear when her heard those words. He was so happy to have his sister by his side, even though most of the things about her were forgotten. **************************************************************************** *******************
Zero slowly woke and relized she was still laying with Vash. She also realized the warm blanket wrapped around them. She adjusted herself, careful not to wake Vash, and tried to return to sleep. She opened her eyes again when she heard a low rustling in the room. She looked over and noticed Wolfwood adjusting something on the dresser. It appeared he was closing a box.
He turned and smiled at her. "Well, hello...looks like you two--"
"He's my brother...." Zero narrowed her eyes catching Wolfwood's implication.
Wolfwood's eyes widened. "I am sooooooo sorry..." He stated sincerely.
Zero smiled. "It's okay. What were you doing?"
Wolfwood nervously put away the box and turned to Zero. "I was...just taking care of something..."
Zero smiled and shook her head. I don't know why he can't tell me he's scared to death of the poison in him...truly there is nothing to worry about. Thinking about it caused her thoughts to drift back to where they'd been the night before...and Inan. She hoped so much that everything would turn out alright, especially since that day his father had asked her to kill him.
Okay...so this chapter didn't turn out exactly as planned but it works the same line. It reveals some of the good parts of the storyline...hence the title, Revelation. Well, please review. (the next chapter will tell a little more about Zero and her connection to Rem...so until next time...love ya, but gotta leave...Bye now!)
