Chapter 3: Havoc
I woke up in the middle of the night. I don't know why. I just couldn't get to sleep. I got up and went in the bathroom to put cold water on my face.
After that, I came out of the bathroom and went to the kitchen to get a snack. I saw Vash making a sandwich. "Hey Meryl. What got you up?"
I just stood there looking at him. "What's wrong?" He cut my thoughts off. Why did I just freeze? "Nothing." is all I could say. I walked across the kitchen to the
cabinet. What am I doing I have to tell him. He's alone. If I get embarrassed, I can never look at him again. I took a bag of chips and opened them.
I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Vash was looking at me. "What?" I asked. "Nothing. I was just thinking about the fun we had today."
"I had fun today too. Well I'm goin' out to take a walk." I put my now finished bag of chips in the trash and went to grab a coat. It usually got cold out during the night.
"Hey, do you want me to go with you?" Did Vash just ask that? I think I need to clean my ears. "Uh, sure." I said unsure. "Okay." I heard him say while he grabbed his red coat.
We walked all the way to my favorite spot. I'd never think I'd be sharing this same spot with Vash. "So uh, why do you always come out here?" I heard him say. I snapped back to earth.
"Well, it's a place I can come, ya know, just to get away from some things." that's all I could say? "What kinds of things?" I heard him say as he sat down on the sand. I began to speak as
I sat beside him. "Like... Just to be alone for a while." He started getting closer to me. Oh no! I guess I do kind of like it. "That's what I do sometimes. But I sing my favorite song while I do so."
I think he's talking about Rem's favorite song. I think he's singing it now. I'm starting to feel sleepy. I can't keep my eyes open.
I woke the next morning on the couch. How'd I get here? Shouldn't I be in bed? I got up very tiredly. I entered my room. Milly was still in bed. It was 8:00 in the morning. I might as well start making breakfast.
I opened the cupboard and got a skillet out. I went to the frig and got the eggs. I cooked the eggs with six sausages. I set up the table and headed to the bathroom and took a shower. It was a now 8:30.
Milly still isn't awake by now? Usually she would be up around 8. I guess I can't blame her. She was up last night throwing cake around. I cracked opened Vash's room. He was starting to get up. I quickly shut the door.
I went to sit down at the table and read the newspaper.
"Hey Meryl." I heard Vash say tiredly. "Oh, great, you made breakfast. I new I smelled food." he took a seat right across from me. I put the newspaper down and began to speak. "Hey, Vash?"
"Yeah?" I saw him stuff his face with the eggs. "Um, weren't we outside last night?" I stared at him. "Uh, huh." Was all he could say, still stuffing his face. "How did I get on the couch this morning?"
I started picking up my fork. Vash stopped chewing and began to speak. "When I was finished singing, you were asleep on the sand. So I carried you back to the house and placed you on the couch." I saw him starting to get up.
And head for the bathroom. I didn't eat most of breakfast. I didn't feel like eating so I headed for the door. I walked back to my 'spot' and sat down. I didn't tell him yet. That was a perfect time to tell him. I saw a shadow come up from behind
me and grab me tightly. My back was up against the person's chest. I tried to turn around, but I couldn't. He covered my mouth and started walking.
I couldn't do anything but just let him take me. Who is he? I wanted to scream Vash's name out desperately. The strange man ejected me with something. I started feeling sleepy.
Oh no! He gave me a tranquilizer.
I awoke in a dark place. I tried to get up but I had chains to my feet. I could walk, but not far. I tried to get up again. This time I made it. I kept walking until I was stopped by bars. I was in a cell!
I tried to pull and push the bars, but it wouldn't budge. I walked back to the wall. I had to get out of here. I didn't even take any of my guns. I figured I wouldn't have to use them in such a peaceful town.
Town? Am I in the same town? Once I get out of here, where will I go? I started fiddling with the chains on my leg. I searched around the small and dark cell. It was very hot in here. Does Milly know that I'm gone?
Will I get out of here? I heard someone coming. I got back up and walked to the front of the cell. I tried to make the person out. It was a man. No wait, it was a woman. She walked up to my cell and stared at me.
She folded her arms together and began to speak. "I finally found you. MERYL STRIFE!" she started laughing an evil laugh. She sounded familiar. I couldn't guess who. I began to speak slowly. "Wh-.....Who are you?!"
She stopped laughing and opened her mouth. "You should know me by now. My voice should sound familiar, sis."
