I know its kind of awkard making the last chappie right here. I can't just let it stretch, sorry
for not telling you guys earlier, here goes, THANKS FOR THE REVEIWS!!!!!!!!
Chapter 6: Letting you go
Well, now its been three days since we heard from Officer Ed. He didn't find anything about
where my sister could be. I kept thinking of that hide out that Sandra had, 'Old memories'.
For some reason, it sounded familiar. It seemed like I heard that name before, 'Old memories'.
I was sitting in my room, looking outside from the window sill. I rested my head on my arm. I
sat there reminiscing about the whole ordeal. I always had a nodge about me having to kill or
do harm to my sister. My thoughts were cut off by Milly.
"Hey Meryl, What are you doing in here?" Milly said as she closed the door. She had Blue jeans
on with a matching blue shirt. As for me, I had on my usual working clothes, I just missed
being in them I guess.
"Oh, I was just doing a little thinking about stuff."I said getting up from the window sill. "Did
you hear from Ed yet?"
"No, not yet, he's probably out trying to dig anything up on David. He still thinks he has
something to do with it."
"I do too, before he left, he had a weird look on his face, like he still wasn't finished doing
harm to me." I said, creeped out at the thought. The door then opened, it was Vash peeping in.
"Hey girls, did I interupt anything?" Vash said with his bright eyes.
"Uh-no,no you didn't. We were just talking." I said putting on a fake smile.
"Okay, great then, maybe we can go out for a drink?" Vash said.
"That sounds great, Mr. Vash!" Milly said, jumping up and down.
"I guess, it'll be good." I said. After all what's the harm in one drink. We all walked out of
room and out of the main door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay Everyone, let's let lose!!!" Milly said, taking another cup of beer. "I sure am!!!"Milly
said, falling face flat on the table. I could tell Milly was having a blast. I just looked at
Milly, her face flat on the table like that.
"How pathetic." I said to myself. I have to sit here and just linger on the fact that I can't
have fun like this, especially if my sister is probably after me and my friends. "I can't let
this continue!" I blurted out. "We can't just sit around, getting drunk, like we don't give a
damn about our own safety!!!" I yelled to Milly, still lying on the table.
"What are ya talkin about? We got Fash da tampede, he iz ivisible!!!!!!!" Milly said, not
knowing a word she just said. She put her head back on the table.
"RRRrrrrrrrr!" I placed my hands hard on the table. "Let's go Milly! We're leaving!" I grabbed
Milly from the table.
"Wa do ya mean? I just wan som sleep!" I pulled her from the table. Forgetting about Vash, who
was talkin' away to the bartender, I just left.
I finally arrived home and managed to carry Milly all the way. I grabbed my house keys and opened
the door. I dragged Milly in and placed her on the couch. I was to tired to carry her to our room.
I looked at the clock, it was 1:00 in the morning. I walked to my room and walked in. I laid on my
bed and fell fast asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was the first one to wake up in the morning. I guess because, I didn't have any hang over from
last night. I jumped in the shower. I started thinking again. 'OLd Memories'. Where did I hear
that name at? Think Meryl think. I got out of the shower and put on some shorts and a t-shirt.
"I got it!" I said through the house. I ran back in my room and shook Milly, who some how got
back to her bed. "Milly, Milly, wake up. I know where Sandra might be!" Milly didn't even budge.
I walked into Vash's room. He wasn't in there. He probably wouldn't be, since he did have
a lot of drinks. Where could he be?
I walked down the stairs. I looked in the kitchen and the living room. "Vash?!" I said. Wait why
would be in the house? I opened the door, only to find Vash on the ground, sleep. I bent down
beside Vash. "Had a fun night?" I said with a look on my face saying, pitiful.
"Oh, hey Meryl, didn't see you there. Owwwww, my head!" Vash said slowly getting up.
"How did you get out here?" I asked, helping him up.
"Well, I was at the bar, talking to someone. Then, well then..... I can't remember anything
after that." Vash said opening the door.
"Vash, I found out where Sandra might be, we have to go check it out." I said the minute he fell
on the couch.
"Soory, Meryl but if your gonna go, then your not going without me, which will probably after I
get over my headache." I heard Vash say, then he fell asleep. I walked over and gave him a whack
in the head.
"Owwwwww! I already have a headache, what was that for?"
"For being a jerk!" I said. "I know, I'll tell Ed to come over here."
"Hold on!" Vash said stoping me.
"What?!" I said in an annoyed voice.
"Don't call until I go up stairs, I don't want him to see me like this." Vash said, running up
stairs.
"He's SUCH an idiot." I said to myself. I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed the phone, hanging
on the wall. I dialed the police number. "....Hello, um could you connect to Edward, please?..."
"....Okay thanks." I waited for Edward to pick up the phone. "...Hello, Ed?...Um, I need you to
come over my house as soon as possible....It's important....No nothing is wrong...Okay, thanks."
I hung up the phone. "Hey Vash, he's coming in 15, Okay!" I yelled up stairs.
"Okay!" Vash said yelling down the stairs. He started singing in the shower. "I got the blues! Yes,
I doooooo! whoooooooo!"
"Will you shut up, Don't wake Milly up." I went in the kitchen to fix breakfast, but then the
doorbell rang. I opened it.
"Howdy Meryl!" Ed said, holding his hat down in a greeting.
"Hello, come on in. Would you like some coffee?" I said, shutting the door.
"Sure, I'll take some coffee." I went into the kitchen and grabbed a fresh cup of coffee. I gave it
to the waiting policeman. I sat down beside him on the couch, since it was the only place to sit. I
heard Vash still singing out of tune in the bathroom.
"I got, got, got, the bluessssssss, ohhhhhhhh,oooooooooh, yeahhhhhh." I wish I died right there.
I started blushing, embarrased.
"Vash, put a sock in it already!" I yelled up the stairs. It was finally quiet."Sorry, about that."
"That's okay, I heard worse singing before." He slouched back in the chair. I got up and brought a
kitchen chair in so I could sit across from him. "So, why did you call me over here?"
"Well, I think I know where Sandra might be." I said looking at him.
"Are ya absolutely sure?"
"Positive." I said firmly. "I know, where its at. We used to go to that place all the time,
when we were kids. I remeber the first time I went to that place. I was twelve. She was nine.
*Flashback*
Sandra: Hey sis, come on let's go out and play in the field.
Meryl: Okay, but we have to be back before dinner.
Sandra: alright, come on.
"Once we got to the field, we spotted something really huge and dark outside."
Sandra: Hey, what's that over there?
Meryl: I don't know, let's get a better look.
Sandra: Sure is big in here.
Meryl: Yeah, maybe, we can hang out in here.
*End of flashback*
"It was kind of like a cave, we fixed it up a little bit. It looks just like a small cabin." I
said, thinking of the fun we had in it. "We called it old memories because we had a lot of
fond memories there. I remember when I lost my front tooth there." I said with a chuckle.
"Well, if you like too, we can check it out. But I can't let you go along, so maybe you can
take your friends too."
"Okay, I'll be right back." I walked upstairs to Vash's room, who was about to open the door.
I backed away. He opened the door.
"Hey Meryl. Where ya tryin' to look at my sexy, but battered body?" He said with his eyes squinced
together.
"No Vash, I wanted you to come with me and Ed to my old hang out place. Make sure your armed." I
said. I started walking to my room. I saw Milly still sleep on her bed. I walked in the closet
and grabbed two of my small guns and loaded them. I ran downstairs where Vash and Ed were waiting
for me.
"Make sure your armed, she might have henchmen outside, guarding the area." Ed said, looking at me
especially. I guess he's sexes.
"Alright, let's get this show on the road!" Vash said. I left an note on the kitchen table for
Milly. It read, Milly, we went out to Sandra's secret hide out, if you plan to go, give me
a ring on my cell, bye. We headed out to the police car. As we were driving there, I started
getting nervous, but I made sure I hid it from Vash and Ed. If they found out, they probably
would send me back. that's the last thing I need. If Sandra wants a fight, she's got one.
"Now Meryl, if you don't want to through with this, I'll take you right back, okay?" Ed said,
interupting my thoughts.
"I'm sure, I can handle it." I said, convincingly. Vash was in the back seat with me. He held
my hand tightly.
"I have both your backs, don't worry!!!!!!" Vash said obvouvily scaring Ed.
"Whooooooooooooooooooooooow!!!!!!!" We all said in unison. The car almost crashed into a tree, but
Ed stopped it in time.
"Shut up back there!" Ed said angrily. He got back on the road and continued driving.
"Sorry, kinda got carried away. heh, heh." Vash said rubbing the back of his head. Just then my
cell phone rang. I reached in my purse to grab my cell phone. "Hello?.....Oh, hey Milly....Yeah,
we're gonig there now.....Sorry, if your hungry, just get the box of cereal that's in the
cabinet........Oh, yeah, that, Um, you go down fith avenue, then make right, you should be on
main street, then you make a left and your there.....I have to go okay, oh yeah, be careful,
Okay?......Bye." I put the cell phone back in my pocket. "That was Milly, she's coming to."
"The more the merrier." Vash said.
"Hey, Ed? Um, what happened to David?" I said out of curiosity.
"Oh, he's locked away, don't worry, he can't do anything." Ed said, parking in a small parking lot.
We all got out of the police car. I started walking faster until I eventually sarted running.
"Meryl, wait for us!!!!!!!!!" I could hear Vash say. I kept running faster until it was right in
front of me. There it was, 'Old Memories'.
"Good 'Old Memories." I said under my breathe. Vash and Ed caught up to me and looked at the
old cave.
"Hey Meryl, don't run of like that." Vash said looking down at me.
"Sorry." Was all I could say. We walked in together, slowly. We kept our weapons in our hands
in front of us. Ed led us further in. It looked so different in the inside. We couldn't see
anything, but we had to make due with the moon light. I looked at my wrist watch while still
walking. It was 8:00. We continued to go deeper. It was really different on the inside then I
remebered, but it looked the same on the outside.
"Alright, everyone we-" Ed spoke in a whisper. He was cut off by Vash.
"What I can't hear you."
"Alright everyone-" He spoke a little bit louder. Ed was caught off by Vash again.
"Don't speak so loud." Vash said, getting on mine and Ed's nerves.
"Don't cut me off again, boy! Alright, everyone, we're ganna have to split up. Vash and Meryl,
you to go straight up and check things out, I'll stay here and wait for the tall one to get
here alright?"
"I got you." I said. "Come on Vash!"
"What am I supposed to do?" I could barely hear Vash's voice.
"Didn't you hear him?" I said, getting frustrated. I rubbed the front of my face.
"He said don't cut him off, so I didn't but I still couldn't hear."
"Just follow me!" I said, grabbing his hand.
"Whoooo!" Vash said, as we started moving.
"Hey, Meryl, isn't this place creepy?" Vash said from behind me.
"Not to me, I used to come here all the time." I said.
"You must of head a lot of guts then."
"I guess so. Hehe." We continued to go farther when someone jumped on Vash and scared me half to
death.
"Hello, Meryl and Vash." Said the deep voice, while still wrestling with Vash. I couldn't see a
thing.
"Meryl, RUN!!!!!He's got a gun!!!!" Vash yelled to me. I couldn't aim my gun because I couldn't
see.
"No, I'm not leaving you!" I yelled back.
"Please Meryl, I'll catch up, just go!" He yelled back at me. I started running forward. I started
running until my feet was cold and wet. Wet? I tried hard to look and see what it was but it was
no use. I put my hand down in it. It was water. There was never any water in here.
"Hello, Meryl. Pity, pity, pity, you should always keep your friends close but your enemies
closer." It was Sandra, I know that voice anywhere. Then the lights flitched on. I was standing
in an artificial lake. The water was low enough to walk in. I came out of the water and looked
up to where the voice was coming from. Sandra was standing on a balcony of some sort with
glass and electronic devices. I guess she loved her devices.
"Sandra, what do you want from me?!" I said looking up at her.
"Sister, you should already know. I want revenge on you. Let's see, you let two people die
that was important to me, so you will pay, double the price!"
"Sandra, stop it! Your not the same person, the Sandra I knew would never do anything like
this!"
"No, Meryl, I'm not the same! I'm stronger and the better sister!" She pressed on of her devices
and two more. Just then two robotic monsters came from the ceiling and jumped from off the
platform and started running towards me. The platform from which they on flew back up to the
ceiling. I started running anywhere. It was just a big room, I realized, I really couldn't go
anywhere. I pulled out my two guns and started shooting them.
It was no use. I only had one bullet left. Then another came charging at me. It
hit me with one of its legs in my back hard. I flew all the way to the other side of the room.
I couldn't barely move. I slowly got back up, while the robots were still chasing me. I was
about to shoot again but the robot knocked the gun out of my hand.
"Ha! you thought you could win against my Robots Sis?!" Sandra said, pushing another button. I
had three robots chasing after me now. I ran to where my gun was. There has to be a way to beat
them. I then looked up and saw the platform again. If the platform goes down I'll get on it.
It should take me up and level me to where Sandra is. I'll jump unto the balacony and.....
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" All four robots charged and hit me, I flew back, all the way were my gun was with
last bullet. I could barely see it. I grabbed it.
"What good will a mere gun do you, you stupid bitch!!!!!!!Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!"
I had to say something insulting to make her put another one of her robots on me. "C-come on,
that's all you got, you weak little b-bitch!" I said. I'm probably gonna regret this, but its
worth a shot.
"Ohhhhhhh, you call me a weak, bitch?! How dare you insult me! Just for that, I'll make your
death quick!" She pressed another button. And again the platform/lever thingy came down. Now was
my chance. I ran with all my energy and headed to the platform. The machine jumped off, right in
front of me.
"This isn't good." I said under my breathe. "uhhahhhhh!" I ran under the robot. I was now behind
it. I jumped onto the platform, waiting for it to go up. I stood up, looking down from where I once
was. The balcony that Sandra was on was right there, all I had to do was jump. Its easier said
then done. I jumped off the platform to the balcony. I didn't make it! I managed to grab one of the
balcony bars.
"How dare you!!!!! You bett-" Sandra started.
"Or what sis?! Huh? What ya gonna do? Ya gonna kill me?" I said jumping from the bars to the
balcony floor. I could see how scared she was, through the glass that seperated me from her.
"You still can't get pass this glass, looks like I outsmarted you!"
"Did you?" I said as I broke the glass with the handle of my gun. She started backing away, until
she eventually ran. I broke the glass and started chasing after her. She ran down the balcony to
what looked like the outside of the cave. I chased her until we were outside. This time we were
in a real lake. I jumped on her before she could run around the lake. We both fell in it. She
managed to get on top of me. She jumped out of the water for air and started choking me in the
water. I threw her down in the water with my back and body. I pulled her up and was about to
slap her.
"Sis, come on don't, I- I'm sorry." I lowered my hand. That sounded like the real sister I knew.
She began to speak. "Sorry for not killing you when I had the chance!!" She jumped from under
me and slapped me. I fell into the water, my gun still in my hand. She grabbed me again and
threw me around in the water. I grabbed her arm before she could do so and pulled her down in
the water. I ran from out of the water and ran on the ground. I turned around with my gun to her.
This is what I feared, killing her. She came from out of the water.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot!" I said holding the gun unsteady.
"Really sis?" She said in a firm voice. "Your really gonna shoot me? You don't have the guts."
She said pulling something from her wet pants. It was a gun! It was about the same size as mine.
"I'd advice you not to move." She said in a firm voice. I started lowering my gun, but ready to
shoot any moment.
"Sandra, I'm ganna shoot you, your not my sister, Sandra would never do anything like this." I said,
trying to get to her.
"SHUT UP!!!!" She shot a bullet at me, grazing my leg.
I felt the pain but didn't move. "Good bye Sis." I said with tears falling down my eyes. They
just wouldn't stop. I pulled the trigger.
"Booooooooooommmmmm!!!!!!" The sound wouldn't end. I fell down to the ground crying. "Why sis,
why did you go!!!! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" I cried out loud. I walked over to my
dead sister. I pulled her out of the water and fell to the ground, embracing her and crying.
"Meryl!!!!!" I could here Vash say. I put my head up and looked at Vash. He just stared at me.
I gently laid my dead sister down and ran to Vash, who eld me tightly. I began to speak in his
warmth.
"I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to kill. *Gasp* I didn't want to!" I started crying harder.
I pulled Vash closer to me. Milly and Ed were right behind me. Ed was calling more policemen to
come to the scene of the crime. I cried louder. I could see Milly crying too. It was my crime and
my crime alone........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three month later.
I walked in the cold and wet sand. I had an umbrella over me. I looked at my sister's grave.
"Rest in peace Sandra." I said. I looked up at the gray and raining sky.........
Author's note : Sorry to end it kind of corny but I couldn't think of anything else. I hope you
enjoyed the fighting scene as much as I enjoy writing it!!!^.^ Don't go anywhere because I still
am working on the epilogue!!!!

we're gonig there now.....Sorry, if your hungry, just get the box of cereal that's in the
cabinet........Oh, yeah, that, Um, you go down fith avenue, then make right, you should be on
main street, then you make a left and your there.....I have to go okay, oh yeah, be careful,
Okay?......Bye." I put the cell phone back in my pocket. "That was Milly, she's coming to."
"The more the merrier." Vash said.
"Hey, Ed? Um, what happened to David?" I said out of curiosity.
"Oh, he's locked away, don't worry, he can't do anything." Ed said, parking in a small parking lot.
We all got out of the police car. I started walking faster until I eventually sarted running.
"Meryl, wait for us!!!!!!!!!" I could hear Vash say. I kept running faster until it was right in
front of me. There it was, 'Old Memories'.
"Good 'Old Memories." I said under my breathe. Vash and Ed caught up to me and looked at the
old cave.
"Hey Meryl, don't run of like that." Vash said looking down at me.
"Sorry." Was all I could say. We walked in together, slowly. We kept our weapons in our hands
in front of us. Ed led us further in. It looked so different in the inside. We couldn't see
anything, but we had to make due with the moon light. I looked at my wrist watch while still
walking. It was 8:00. We continued to go deeper. It was really different on the inside then I
remebered, but it looked the same on the outside.
"Alright, everyone we-" Ed spoke in a whisper. He was cut off by Vash.
"What I can't hear you."
"Alright everyone-" He spoke a little bit louder. Ed was caught off by Vash again.
"Don't speak so loud." Vash said, getting on mine and Ed's nerves.
"Don't cut me off again, boy! Alright, everyone, we're ganna have to split up. Vash and Meryl,
you to go straight up and check things out, I'll stay here and wait for the tall one to get
here alright?"
"I got you." I said. "Come on Vash!"
"What am I supposed to do?" I could barely hear Vash's voice.
"Didn't you hear him?" I said, getting frustrated. I rubbed the front of my face.
"He said don't cut him off, so I didn't but I still couldn't hear."
"Just follow me!" I said, grabbing his hand.
"Whoooo!" Vash said, as we started moving.
"Hey, Meryl, isn't this place creepy?" Vash said from behind me.
"Not to me, I used to come here all the time." I said.
"You must of head a lot of guts then."
"I guess so. Hehe." We continued to go farther when someone jumped on Vash and scared me half to
death.
"Hello, Meryl and Vash." Said the deep voice, while still wrestling with Vash. I couldn't see a
thing.
"Meryl, RUN!!!!!He's got a gun!!!!" Vash yelled to me. I couldn't aim my gun because I couldn't
see.
"No, I'm not leaving you!" I yelled back.
"Please Meryl, I'll catch up, just go!" He yelled back at me. I started running forward. I started
running until my feet was cold and wet. Wet? I tried hard to look and see what it was but it was
no use. I put my hand down in it. It was water. There was never any water in here.
"Hello, Meryl. Pity, pity, pity, you should always keep your friends close but your enemies
closer." It was Sandra, I know that voice anywhere. Then the lights flitched on. I was standing
in an artificial lake. The water was low enough to walk in. I came out of the water and looked
up to where the voice was coming from. Sandra was standing on a balcony of some sort with
glass and electronic devices. I guess she loved her devices.
"Sandra, what do you want from me?!" I said looking up at her.
"Sister, you should already know. I want revenge on you. Let's see, you let two people die
that was important to me, so you will pay, double the price!"
"Sandra, stop it! Your not the same person, the Sandra I knew would never do anything like
this!"
"No, Meryl, I'm not the same! I'm stronger and the better sister!" She pressed on of her devices
and two more. Just then two robotic monsters came from the ceiling and jumped from off the
platform and started running towards me. The platform from which they on flew back up to the
ceiling. I started running anywhere. It was just a big room, I realized, I really couldn't go
anywhere. I pulled out my two guns and started shooting them.
It was no use. I only had one bullet left. Then another came charging at me. It
hit me with one of its legs in my back hard. I flew all the way to the other side of the room.
I couldn't barely move. I slowly got back up, while the robots were still chasing me. I was
about to shoot again but the robot knocked the gun out of my hand.
"Ha! you thought you could win against my Robots Sis?!" Sandra said, pushing another button. I
had three robots chasing after me now. I ran to where my gun was. There has to be a way to beat
them. I then looked up and saw the platform again. If the platform goes down I'll get on it.
It should take me up and level me to where Sandra is. I'll jump unto the balacony and.....
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" All four robots charged and hit me, I flew back, all the way were my gun was with
last bullet. I could barely see it. I grabbed it.
"What good will a mere gun do you, you stupid bitch!!!!!!!Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!"
I had to say something insulting to make her put another one of her robots on me. "C-come on,
that's all you got, you weak little b-bitch!" I said. I'm probably gonna regret this, but its
worth a shot.
"Ohhhhhhh, you call me a weak, bitch?! How dare you insult me! Just for that, I'll make your
death quick!" She pressed another button. And again the platform/lever thingy came down. Now was
my chance. I ran with all my energy and headed to the platform. The machine jumped off, right in
front of me.
"This isn't good." I said under my breathe. "uhhahhhhh!" I ran under the robot. I was now behind
it. I jumped onto the platform, waiting for it to go up. I stood up, looking down from where I once
was. The balcony that Sandra was on was right there, all I had to do was jump. Its easier said
then done. I jumped off the platform to the balcony. I didn't make it! I managed to grab one of the
balcony bars.
"How dare you!!!!! You bett-" Sandra started.
"Or what sis?! Huh? What ya gonna do? Ya gonna kill me?" I said jumping from the bars to the
balcony floor. I could see how scared she was, through the glass that seperated me from her.
"You still can't get pass this glass, looks like I outsmarted you!"
"Did you?" I said as I broke the glass with the handle of my gun. She started backing away, until
she eventually ran. I broke the glass and started chasing after her. She ran down the balcony to
what looked like the outside of the cave. I chased her until we were outside. This time we were
in a real lake. I jumped on her before she could run around the lake. We both fell in it. She
managed to get on top of me. She jumped out of the water for air and started choking me in the
water. I threw her down in the water with my back and body. I pulled her up and was about to
slap her.
"Sis, come on don't, I- I'm sorry." I lowered my hand. That sounded like the real sister I knew.
She began to speak. "Sorry for not killing you when I had the chance!!" She jumped from under
me and slapped me. I fell into the water, my gun still in my hand. She grabbed me again and
threw me around in the water. I grabbed her arm before she could do so and pulled her down in
the water. I ran from out of the water and ran on the ground. I turned around with my gun to her.
This is what I feared, killing her. She came from out of the water.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot!" I said holding the gun unsteady.
"Really sis?" She said in a firm voice. "Your really gonna shoot me? You don't have the guts."
She said pulling something from her wet pants. It was a gun! It was about the same size as mine.
"I'd advice you not to move." She said in a firm voice. I started lowering my gun, but ready to
shoot any moment.
"Sandra, I'm ganna shoot you, your not my sister, Sandra would never do anything like this." I said,
trying to get to her.
"SHUT UP!!!!" She shot a bullet at me, grazing my leg.
I felt the pain but didn't move. "Good bye Sis." I said with tears falling down my eyes. They
just wouldn't stop. I pulled the trigger.
"Booooooooooommmmmm!!!!!!" The sound wouldn't end. I fell down to the ground crying. "Why sis,
why did you go!!!! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" I cried out loud. I walked over to my
dead sister. I pulled her out of the water and fell to the ground, embracing her and crying.
"Meryl!!!!!" I could here Vash say. I put my head up and looked at Vash. He just stared at me.
I gently laid my dead sister down and ran to Vash, who eld me tightly. I began to speak in his
warmth.
"I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to kill. *Gasp* I didn't want to!" I started crying harder.
I pulled Vash closer to me. Milly and Ed were right behind me. Ed was calling more policemen to
come to the scene of the crime. I cried louder. I could see Milly crying too. It was my crime and
my crime alone........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three month later.
I walked in the cold and wet sand. I had an umbrella over me. I looked at my sister's grave.
"Rest in peace Sandra." I said. I looked up at the gray and raining sky.........
