Memories and Nightmares
Chapter 3
-Regular POV-
Everyone turned to the direction of the voice and saw…
"HARRY!" Bit growled out. Leena hid behind Bit pretended to be her regular self, the fiery red-head, but was actually as scared as a lost child.
"What are you doing here; get the hell out of here before I kick your ass out." Leon threatened as he stood in front of Bit.
"Why, I just wanted to see my Leena." Harry said in a sickeningly sweet tone.
"Harry, leave now, like Leon told you." Leena said as calmly as she could.
"Why, Leena my sweet? I just wanted to ask you out for lunch." he said walking towards her.
Leena grimaced at the words Leena my sweet and stared at him thinking, 'I am so gonna kill him!'
"Leave Harry, right now." Leon said as he pushed Harry away.
"Leon, please move out of my way so that I may take my Leena out to eat." Harry seethed through his teeth.
"Bit, make him leave, please." Leena begged in a whisper.
"Get out, now Harry." Bit said holding onto Harry's left arm while Leon held Harry's right.
"LET GO OF ME! LEENA! I WILL BE BACK FOR YOU! I WILL BE BACK!!!!" he yelled as Bit and Leon threw him out the door. Leon stayed and put on the level 3 safety to keep Harry out while Bit went back to check on Leena.
"Leena, we got rid of Harry." Bit yelled nearing the kitchen.
"Hm…" she replied, staring down at her hands which were fiddling around with each other.
"What's wrong?" Bit questioned as he sat down next to her.
"Nothing…" she answered.
"What's wrong?" he asked again, this time grabbing her hand and rubbing it with his.
"Nothing I said!" she growled out, pulling her hand back.
"Why are you getting so defensive?!" Bit growled back at her. Leena stood up, toppling her chair and yelled,
"I'm not getting defensive! I just want to be left alone!" and stomped off to her room. Bit blinked and wondered, 'what just happened here?'
-Leena's POV-
Arriving at my room I entered and sat down on my bed, staring straight ahead at the wall. I don't know why I got such an attitude in the kitchen, it just happened. I thought about walked back in there and apologizing to bit by saying sorry, hugging the life out of him, and kisses him silly. But then decided not to and to just go to sleep.
Lying down I plopped my head on the pillow and turned over onto my side. I stared at a framed photo of my family which was kept on my nightstand and thought back to that day.
It had been taken at my fourth birthday party; we had gone to an ice rink and were huddled in the middle. Leon and I were in the front, with my mom hugging me from behind and Dad was behind Leon, trying to regain his balance for the camera, which had gone off during his fall.
My mother died two weeks later, no one told me how she had died. But I had overheard something about suicide and a gun, but I know that my mother would never have taken her own life…or at least I think. I was so young when she died and now…I can't even remember what she was like.
Blinking, I felt tears fall; it had been such a long time since I last cried. I can only remember crying three times, when I was being threatened by the chainsaw man, at Oscar's funeral, and my mother's funeral.
I continued to stare at the picture and cry until I wore myself out and closed my eyes, falling into a troubled sleep filled with old memories and nightmares (AN: the title…I did not expect that….^^;;)
-Bit's POV-
Walking around the base after Leena and I had, what I guess, a fight, I kept thinking about why she would act so strange. Ending up in the hanger I walked over to Liger and sat at its feet (AN: paws?).
What's wrong Bit? I heard Liger asked me. Leaning my back on its paw I looked up at the ceiling and answered,
"Leena and I just had our first fight as a couple. And I think it was the shortest and strangest fight we'd ever had."
All your fights are strange. Liger joked.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." I laughed.
Sitting there, my mind began to wonder to when I first met Leena and the team. I had driven out there to look for zoid parts which had been broken off a zoid and left, which I then would sell. Leon had ended up tripping over my truck and so they had to call interference.
They caught me trespassing in their hanger and tied me up. I remember when I called Leena 'Babe', she threw a fit. I was attracted to her, which is why I called her babe in the first place, but I guess, with her yelling and chasing me around, I was more focused on my limbs than her looks.
Standing up I stretched and walks to the door.
"Later, Liger." I said.
Later, Bit. I heard Liger say as I walked out the door.
Walking past Leena's room I doubled back and stood in front of it. Staring at it I raised my hand but stopped halfway for a few seconds. Shaking my head I raised my hand completely and knocked.
When I didn't get an answer I knocked again and called,
"Leena, it's Bit, may I come in?"
When I still didn't get a response I turned the doorknob and opened the door slowly, peering around to see it she was about to come and answer it. Looking over to the bed I saw her asleep and smiled, walking over I sat down next to her and watched her sleep.
She looked so angelic. I didn't want to wake her so I just sat there and stared.
-Regular POV-
While Bit was staring, Leena was mentally screaming and thrashing.
She began to shake slightly and her breathing had begun to change into short quick gasps. Bit began to worry and started to try to shake her awake while saying,
"Leena…wake up."
She let out a scream and started to fight him. Bit frantically took her in his arms and held her tightly, trying to calm her and bring her out of her nightmare world.
When she calmed, she opened her watery eyes and looked up at him. Whispering his name, she clung to his shirt and cried. He stroked her hair and whispered soothing things into her ear. Pulling her head away from his chest she looked up and him and gave him a kiss, he returned it and laid her down.
"Bit…" Leena whispered as she began to close her eyes.
"Yeah, Leena?"
"Will you hold me? Please?" she begged.
He smiled and laid down next to her, putting his arms around her he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Leena smiled and snuggled closer to him, falling asleep to the drone of his heartbeat.
-Leon's POV-
I leaned against the door as Harry banged on it. I wondered about how he got this violent, before Leena would only need a heartbeat to break his spine. When the banging stopped, I looked out the peephole (AN: all doors have peepholes…well…the front doors anyway…gah….whatever) and saw him walking away. I gave a sigh of relief and slid down into a sitting position.
When I had just begun to nod off, I heard a scream from Leena's room. Jumping up I ran there as fast as I could (AN: it probably took more than a minute, I mean, isn't the base like…huge?). When I arrived there I saw both Leena and bit lying down on the bed. Bit had his arms around her and was whispering words to her. I saw Leena was fast asleep and had a few tear streaks on her face.
Giving a silent sigh of relief I walked away from her room and to the kitchen. Walking in, I grabbed a box of Leena's cookies and some milk from the fridge. As I sat down I thought about the picture of my sister and Bit. Bit had a look of protection on his face, the same look I had on my face when I would meet Leena's dates and boyfriends.
Biting into a cookie I thought,
'Bit will take care of Leena, the way I took care of her, or he's gonna be a dead man.'
After eating about half the box and more than a couple glasses of milk I put everything back and cleaned my dishes (AN: AFTER YOU USE A DISH YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CLEAN IT!!!). I stood up and walked to my old room to lie down and rest for a while. Putting my right arm over my eyes I gave a tired sigh and fell asleep.
Leon's Voice: Bit's got Leena, and Leena's got Bit. Where did Harry go off to, Home? Wherever, thank god he isn't at the Base anymore. Stay tuned for chapter 4.
