Title: Dear Diary

Chapter- 5- Awakening

003's Point Of View

My head ached and I felt sore all over. My enhanced hearing picked up a buzzing sound not to far off. It sounded like the humming of a generation or another type of machine.  I blinked to tried and focus. I looked around and saw all the other cyborgs unconscious, gagged, and tied up. I suddenly realized that I was submerged in water. How was I breathing? The reason I heard the humming sound was because it was in fact a generator and it was using me to power up. I tried to struggle and loosened the ropes that were binding my legs. 009, who was sitting leaning against the glass murmured something incoherent and then stilled again. I used my free leg and kicked it against the part of the glass which he was leaning against. He began to move again and I prayed that he would awaken. Much to my relief he staggered up and leaned against a metal counter besides him. He blinked a few time and then looked at me and whispered something I didn't catch. Suddenly he whispered a little louder for me to hear; "003 where are we?' I shrugged and tried to speak to him through my eyes, since I couldn't communicate with my mouth. He seemed to catch on and pressed a red button the base of the glass tank that I was being held in.

The water stopped at the current that it was and suddenly became much slower, and the water level began to dissimulate considerable. When the water level was up to my shoulder blades I spoke in a hushed tone. "Get me out of here." 009 didn't waste a minute to think it over; he crushed the glass cover with his super strength. I realized that the water pressure was what was holding me up and I began to fall without strength to hold myself up. 009 using his acceleration mode caught me before I fell to the ground and on top of millions of shattered glass bits. I tried to catch my breath from thinking what those glass shards could have done to me. I began to shiver from the cold of being out of the temperature of the water; I must have been submerged for a long time. 009 held me closely and I felt a small blush on my cheeks. "Let's awaken the others…" I whispered my voice still a little hoarse. 009 nodded and we began shaking the others gently.

009 was about to begin speaking when I gasped. Everyone's attention was diverted to me. Leaning against the door was my brother, Jean Paul. "Sister…." He whispered to me. Everything around me seemed to disappear; it was only my brother and I. I started walking towards him, not caring for the voices behind me yelling for me to be careful. Suddenly I felt myself in the warm arms of 009. "009 what are you doing?" I asked to him. His expression softened and he whispered in my ear. "Francoise, he isn't here this is one of Black Ghost tricks…" I shook my head despite my common sense telling me that he was right. "No it's not true, it can't be true!" I said tears showering upon my face. 009 wiped my ongoing tears away and whispered to me, barely audible. "You have to be strong, we all do." I nodded and ignored my "brother" calling out to me. Suddenly the figure that was supposed to be my brother started laughing maniacally. He yelled at me mostly. "Oui, petite Francoise, I am not your brother. Which is why I'm going to kill you, are you afraid?" The air suddenly froze for me. I couldn't believe it. Anger and disbelief bubbled inside of me. How could Black Ghost go this far?

009 tightened his fist and shouted out; "You have no right!" The others nodded and began attacking. 002 used his lasers and kicked the figure but it dodged. 006 tried to use his flame but the figure dodge using the same speed as when 009 would use his acceleration mode. "He must be another cyborg…." I whispered to myself. As 009 was about to shoot a laser beam he looked at me and winked. I managed a small smile and 008 pulled me back. He handed me a sleeping 001, and went off to join the battle. I watched as I usually did but in the end turned away. Usually it gave me relief and pity to see an enemy destroyed, but seeing the face of my brother was different. It was an indescribable feeling of sickness in the pit of my stomach. It consumed me and I closed my eyes and would have covered my ears if I wasn't holding 001.

I followed the group who began walking north. 009 stayed behind, making sure that nothing happened to me. I refused to speak to anyone; I was too hurt to do so. "Francoise, I'm sorry…" 009 said to me lowering his head as if it was him who had done something wrong or out of character. "You have no need to apologize." I said in a voice that I didn't recognize as my own. It sounded destroyed, pained, and in disbelief. That's exactly how I felt so I guess that it made sense. "Yes I do, after all I did read your diary." The series of events that had taken place that day flowed back to me. I began walking ahead not wanting to face 009 after what he had done, and yet I didn't feel truly mad. It's as if the sentiment of anger had disappeared completely and a feeling that I couldn't quite identify took its place. I head 009 sped up and stopped to match my pace. "I'm really sorry Francoise I just had to find out an answer for myself." I still refuse to answer him back.

"You see Francoise I needed to find out how—"He was cut of by 007 coming towards us. "003 do you think you can detect where they have Doctor Gilmore and Mr. Kazumi?" I stopped and 007 took 001 from my arms. I focused and searched the rooms of what I found to be a very big hideout. I finally saw the body of Doctor Gilmore and Mr. Kazumi unconscious on the ground. "Yes the coordinates are 3, 5 to the northwest." 007 nodded and gave me back 001. He went ahead to tell the others of the news. 

009 looked at me and frowned. "Just please let me explain." I stopped and looked at him. This would be very interesting "So what reasons do you have?" I asked hoping that he had a good reason.

"You see…." 009 began to fidget and he lowered his face. "I wanted too…" His toned turned more serious. "You see, I wanted to find out how you felt about me." His face turned completely red. He looked at me, expecting an answer. What was I going to say now?

A/N: Well I'm afraid that I've left you on another cliff hanger. I didn't even realize that the count had gone over 40 otherwise I would have updated earlier. However I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter because it's going to be a long while until the next one is up. Frankly I'm all out of ideas, and am focusing on finishing "Reigning Memories". When I am done with Reigning Memories, I will probably continue updating "My Swan Princess" and this story more frequently. If any other ideas occur to me though concerning any other stories, I will try my best not to loose my focus. Thank you.
