Chapter 2: Melody's waking
Vash headed out the next night, he knew the area Rem said her daughter was at, and was determined to get there as fast as possible. He still couldn't believe that Rem had a daughter, she had never mentioned or said anything of it. He had a feeling that Rem had a reason for it, but for the life of him he couldn't figure it out. Vash tried to imagine what Rem's Melody would look like, *Just like her mother no dought. * He thought as he walked through the endless dunes. He wondered what Melody's personality was like, if she was as kind hearted as Rem. Boy he couldn't wait to set Melody free. Picking up the pace he thought, *The sooner I get there the sooner I can find out.*
In three days he was at the gorge, the second Moon hung half full above him. As Vash made his way into the wide crevice he could see the plant pulsing a ways a head of him. Running to the spot he made out the Cryo tank that held Rem's Melody buried partially in the sand. He looked to the plant, he knew Selitine well. "Hey, Selitine, want me to take over for you?" Vash asked as he walked under the large bulb.
The bulb flashed and replied, "I was wondering when you'd get here Vash the Stampede. You can now take over what Rem asked me to do."
The Cryo tank opened and the girl inside fell out onto the sand. Vash rushed over to her and turned her over. She had very long white blond hair, and was wearing baggy blue and black cargo pants and an aqua green tank top with a white trench coat. Her beauty amazed Vash. He gently shook her to wake her up, "Hey time to wake up."
Melody felt someone shake her and tell her it was time to get up but she was having such a nice conversation with her best friend named Selitine. Slowly she opened her eyes to see a pair of aqua green ones staring at hers. Melody sat up and twisted cracking every vertebra in her back (I can do that too!), then turn to the person who woke her. He was tall from what she could tell and had blond hair sticking up just like her dad's. "Who are you?" She asked. Vash stared into her vibrant sea foam green eyes, she really was beautiful, clearing his throat he answered her, "My name is Vash, Vash the Stampede. Can I be your salve? I'll do anything you ask and I respond well to discipline."
Melody laughed and smiled at Vash, "Well Vash, first off my name is Melody Stampede Saverem. I'm 17 years old, though depending on how long I've been in that tank I'm considerably older. As far as the salve offer, all I need you to help me with is finding my mother, her name is Rem, Rem Saverem. Do you think you can help me?" She asked looking up at him with hopeful eyes.
Vash was instantly saddened by this and tears started to gather in his eyes, "Melody, Rem died when Project SEEDS crashed on this planet over a century ago."
Tears weld up in Melody's eyes, "You're kidding, right, Vash. Please tell me you're kidding. Mom is all I have after my Dad was killed." She looked deep into his tear filled eyes and knew he was telling the truth. Tears started to stream down her face, "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" She screamed to the sky, then turned to the Plant, "Selitine! Why? Why didn't you tell me about my mom's death! I thought you were my friend!" Melody yelled to the glowing blue bulb that contained Selitine.
Selitine appeared inside the bulb, "It was not my place to tell you, my dear Melody. If it was I would have done it when you first appeared in here, but I knew Vash was the one Rem wanted to tell you. You can trust him, Melo, he is like me. Vash is a plant, a free born plant." She said looking upon the pair, "I know it's painful for you humans to lose someone so dear to you. Humans are an amazing species, I wish Knives would see this. I have a very special gift for you, Melody, approach me."
Melody got up and walked up to Selitine, tears still streaming down her face. She understood why Selitine hadn't told her, but it still hurt. "Yes, Seli?" she asked when she stopped in front of her.

The loss of those dear to us causes an unbearable pain in the heart. The girl lost four loved ones, and her pain reflected in her eyes and her soul. But she held her head high, and looked to the future. She sang in a voice so beautiful it captivated everyone how heard but it saddened them as well.
