Memories and Nightmares

Chapter 2

-1 week ago-

"Leena…" a whiny voice screeched to the girl sitting on the couch.

"Look Harry, I said no.  I've said it 12 times, all politely, I will start to yell if you keep asking!" she yelled.

"Come on! PLEASE, I'll take to L'aliment (AN: It means the food in French).  It's the most expensive French restaurant in town!" he shrilled as he walked over to her.

"No." she said sternly. 

"I'll buy ammo and zoid parts for your team.  Whatever you want!" he said as he put his face, full of hope, up to hers.

"Well, that would help the team, and I need the ammo.  Alright, I'll go with you." she complied. "Pick me up at 8 tomorrow."

"YES!!!" Harry screamed as he ran out the door.

-8 o'clock the next day-

-Leena's POV-

They went on a date together.  It was mainly go to the restaurant, eat, listen to Harry talk about himself, and go home.  When they arrived at the Blitz Team Base, Leena quickly walked to the door, hoping that she could just go to sleep.  Instead he walked in front of her and said,

"Now, time for the goodnight kiss" and he licked his lips.  I flinched and backed away.

"Move Harry, It's 12 already, I wanna go to bed." I groaned.

"Not before a kiss." he stated as he leaned down.

"Oh fine." I groaned again.  I gave him a peck on the cheek and turned towards the door.

"Not so fast." Harry said as he turned me back around and forced a kiss on me.

"Ah! Harry! Get off me!" I screamed as I kicked him in the groin.  "You jackass!"

"Leena….!" he called in his whiny voice.  I walked inside the base and went straight to my room, still hearing him call.

-Present Time -

I sighed, 'How could Harry get so violent?  I mean, I could kick his ass a few days ago, why am I terrified of him now?' I thought to myself.  I sighed again as I heard more banging and screaming.  It had been about 4 hours since I first locked the door; I had moved a few things in front of the door to keep Harry out.

"Yawn I'm hungry." I heard Bit complain.

"Yeah, well to bad for you 'cause we're stuck here." I snapped.

"I know that, but don't you have anything in here?  Any cookies that you were trying to hide from me or something?" I heard him ask.  I sighed and walked over to my desk.  I sat down and opened the bottom drawer.  Pulling out a box I threw it to Bit.  I stood back up and sat next to him in front of the bed.

"Yum, chocolate chip." Bit said while grinning from ear to ear.  He opened the box and took one out.

-Bit's POV-

I held the cookie up to my open mouth and was about to eat it until I caught Leena out of the corner of my eye.  If froze for a second, noticing that she was looking down at her lap and shaking slightly.  I put the cookie back and thought, 'She gave these to me pretty easily.  I wonder what's wrong.'

"Leena, are you ok?" I questioned.

"Yeah, just a little cold.  I would go and turn the heat on, but…" and she pointed to the door.

"Oh.  Well, I can help you with that." I stated as I put my arm around her shoulders and pulled her against me.  She laid her head on my shoulder and snuggled closer.  I took the cookie out of the box again and stuffed the whole thing in my mouth.

"Oh Bit, you're such a pig." I heard her say; she said it so softly I had to strain to hear it.  Looking closer at her, I saw that she was beginning to fall asleep.  Looking at the door I noted that there hadn't been any pounding or screaming for a while and thought that Harry had left.

"What?  These are really good." I stated after I stuffed another into my mouth.

"Hm…" I heard her respond.  Looking down at her again I saw that she had finally fallen asleep.  I put the box of cookies down and put her on my lap.  Putting both on my arms around her I hugged her to my chest and put my nose in her hair.  I had always loved the smell of her hair; it always smelled of jasmine and her own special scent.  I sat like that for a few more minutes and fell asleep with my chin on her head.

I was awoken a few hours later by someone banging on the door and screaming, "BIT! LEENA! OPEN THE DOOR!" I had first thought that it was Harry but then I noticed that the voice was different.  It was Leon's voice, so I gently placed Leena on the bed and walked over to the door.  Opening it I saw a wide eyed Leon.

"Well it's about time you got he…" I was saying until I saw that the wall behind him.  It was terrible!  In big bold, red letters it said,

'DIE BITCH DIE' (AN: Sorry to all those who like Harry, and I know he would never do this but I need a bad guy ^^;; sorry again, flame me if you like)

My eyes widened and then I heard a gasp from behind me, my eyes widened even more and I turned around.  I saw Leena, eyes wide with her had over her mouth.  She was beginning to pale, and I ran to her when I saw her begin to collapse. 

"Leena!  Bit, what the hell happened here?" Leon yelled as he ran over to us.

"Sigh Let's get her onto a bed, then I'll tell you." I said as I picked Leena up.

-Leon's POV-

After Bit had put Leena on her bed, we walked to the kitchen.  He sat down at the table and I sat down across from him.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked as calmly as I could.

"We've been having a few problems lately." Bit answered standing back up and walking over to the fridge.

"And those would be?" I questioned.

"Well, you know about our Harry problem." Bit started as he pulled out a bottle of soda. "Want some?"

"I'll pass; now tell me, why was Harry so pissed off?" I asked.  Bit opened the cupboard and took out a cup.  Pouring himself a cup he put the bottle back and sat back down with his cup.  Taking a few sips he said,

"He got mad at me and Leena." he said looking at his soda, which he was rolling around in his hands.

"What did you guys do?" I asked as I stared at the soda as well.

"We kind of…" he started.

"Kind of what?" I continued.

"We kind of m…" he could not continue because at that moment we heard an ear-piercing scream come from Leena's room.

"What the…!?" I screamed.  We stood up and ran towards her room.

-Leena's POV-

Red liquid everywhere.  On the floor, the wall, me.  I looked up and saw the man, I looked down and saw the woman, I looked at my hands and saw a gun.  My eyes widened and I looked up again.  The man, he was there again, with a gun, pointed at my chest.  (AN: just so you know, this is all with her as the little girl.)

"Who ar…" I started but he raised his hand with the gun and pointed it at my chest.  I walked over and put my hand on the muzzle.  It moved to my chest and there was a flash and bang.

"Leena!" I heard someone call.  I looked around.  It was pitch black, nothing.

"Leena!" I heard again.  I then felt everything shake.  I gave a cry and…

-Regular POV-

Bit is shaking Leena and calling her franticly as she flails on the bed.  Screaming out of fear.  She suddenly opened her eyes and sits up.  She looks around panicked, then calms down when she recognizes her surroundings.  She put a hand up to her mouth and began to sob; she leaned into Bit and sobbed harder, now into both hands.

"Leena?  What's going on?  Are you ok?" Leon asked as he put his hand on her shoulder.  When she felt it she jumped and began to shake even more.

"Bit!  Make him go away!" she cried.  Bit held onto her tighter and whispered in her ear,

"Leena, it's Leon; your brother.  Calm down."

"Yeah Leena, It's only me." Leon said, moving closer.  She was still shaking put she moved her tear stained face slightly to take a peek at Leon.  Her eyes were red and blurry so she rubbed them slightly and looked again.

"Leon?" she whispered.

"Yeah, it's me Leena." he answered.  She stayed in Bit's arms for a few more seconds then threw herself at him with all her might.  (AN: now let's see, she can hold a bath tub above her head then throw it at Bit with no problem what so every, she has a lot of might.)

"Leon!" she screamed.  She held onto him tight and cried.

-Kitchen-

They were all seated around the table, Bit was next to Leena who had a blanket wrapped around her shoulders, and Leon was sitting across from them.

"Leena, what is going on?" Leon asked after taking a sip of his coffee.  Leena paled and stared down into her coffee mug.

"I, I…I" she stuttered, every time her voice softened.  Bit put his hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear,

"What me to tell him?" she nodded slightly.  Bit turned his head to Leon and said,

"Leena's been having nightmares, Leon"

"Nightmares about what?" he asked.

"About mom dying." Leena squeaked out.

"What?!" Leon screamed.  Leena put her head down and started to cry, her tears sliding down her cheeks.  Leon saw what he did and calmed down, guilt washing over him.  "Leena, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you."

"Sniff sniff I know, sniff I'm just, sniff god this is worse than PMS." she sniffed out.  Bit held her tighter and said,

"It's alright Lena, just take your time." he whispered.  She took a few deep breaths and started again.

"It all started a few weeks ago." she whispered.  "I had my first nightmare about mom.  Every since then I haven't slept much.  I would stay up and work on strategies or something." she continued.

"Leena, what did that guy with the gun look like?" Leon asked.

"I couldn't really tell; he was usually covered in shadows." she whispered.

 "Oh." Leon sighed.  He looked at Leena and Bit and noticed that Leena had been leaning on Bit and he had his arms wrapped around her.  'Those two are acting weird, they're usually trying to kill each other, now they're hugging and cuddling.'

"Since when have you two been so close?" He asked out loud.

"Huh?" they asked looking up.

"Bit has his arms around you Lena, and you don't even mind.  You look like you guys have been going out forever." He gaped.  Bit and Leena blushed and Leena stuttered out,

"We, um, you see." getting out of Bit's embrace.

"We just started dating." Bit said calming, pulling Leena back.

"Yeah." Leena said blinking.

"What brought the dating on?" Leon asked raising his eyebrow.

"We made out." Bit said, again calmly.  Leena turned a few more shades of red and glared at Bit.  "Which caused the whole, 'Harry trying to kill us stuff.'"

"Oh, and those bruises and cuts you got on your face are also a result of it along with the all this mess and that large threatening sign?" Leon enquired.

"Yup." Bit confirmed.  Leena was glaring at him really hard, he turned to her and said, "What?"

"Nothing." she ground out.  Bit turned his head to face Leon and saw that he was glaring at him also.

"What?" he asked Leon.

"Nothing." he ground out.  Leon then stood up and said, "Bit, can I see you in the living room for a second?"

"Um, sure." Bit said unsurely.  He stood up and Leena was about to also until Leon stopped and said,

"Not you Leena, just Bit." and continued to walk.

"But…" she started but then Bit but a reassuring hand on her shoulder and said,

"We'll just be a sec, kay?" she nodded and he followed Leon out.

-Living Room-

"So what did you want to see me about Leon?" Bit asked as he sat on the couch.

"I just wanted to tell you…" he started as he sat down and put his chin on his hands.  "that if you hurt my sister, I will have to hurt you."

"Huh, oh, of course, but I would never hurt Leena." Bit defended. 

"Hn...you never know Bit, I've seen her boyfriends.  Not all of them treated her the way they should've." Leon said standing up.  "But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.  Now, let's get back to Leena." and he walked back to the kitchen.  Bit followed with a slightly grimmer expression.

-Kitchen-

"So, what did you guys talk about?" Leena asked as she pulled a box of cookies from the cupboard.

"Oh nothing, we just had the talk about him being your boyfriend and me being your brother." Leon said as he sat down and took a cookie from the plate that Leena and put down.  Leena sat down and said,

"Oh, so in other words you threatened him."

"Yup." Leon answered.

"Sigh You do this every time, Leon.  Scared almost half my boyfriends into not dating me." Leena complained.

"It's only for your safety, Leena." Leon said.

"Whatever." she said.

They were all seated around the table and eating cookies when they heard…

"LEENA DARLING!"

Bit's Voice: Next Time on Zoids, who is calling for Leena?  We had a fight?  And there are flashbacks…Find out in Chapter 3.
