Well, getting my first real review made me want to put out a new chapter! Thanks chibi Nataly for my first review, I was beginning to think no one cared...sniff sniif. Well read and enjoy!
Chapter 3
Vash had been trying to reach his brother with his mind, but heard nothing in return. This frightened him, Knives was either alive and strong enough to block his mind. Or he was so weak that he didn't have the strength to call out to him.
It had been a few days since Knives had knocked him out, the knot on the back of his head still stung but was healing nicely. Vash knew that a town was only a few iles away, and he knew what town it was. It was the one Milly and Meryl were staying in. He quickened his pace when he thought of Meryl. Would she be happy to see him, or would she smack him around for letting Knives get the jump on him?
"Either would be knida nice." he chuckled to himself. The laugh soon faded when he remebered his brother was still out there. And whether he was alive or not was something he wanted to find out fast.
Knives woke up the next morning to the smell of breakfast cooking. His stomach growled, he tried to remember the last time he actually ate something and couldn't. He decided he would be nice to the woman in order to be fed. He figured she would just bring him what she had left over from her breakfast. Humans were so greedy when it came to food. He heard a knock at his door which interupted his brooding.
Cora peeked her head in and gave him warm smile, which immediately put knives in a bad mood. "You're up, good I made this for you. I thought it was high time you got off the liquid diet and onto solid foods." She set the tray of delicious food on the bedside table.
"You made this..for me?" he seemed doubtful.
She laughed, "Of course, you think I'd just let you starve." She went to wrap a towel around his neck when she stopped and remembered his "personal space problem".
"May I?" she asked.
Knives looked at the food stomach churning from hunger, he grunted which she supposed meant yes. She wrapped the towel around his neck. While she was tying it a bit of her hair fell in front of him, he smelled the scent of her hair. Sweet like flowers...
"Can you feed yourself or should I help you?" she asked. Knives cringed at the thought of a human feeding him. "I think I can manage human." He slowly pulled himself up to a sitting position and slowly began working on the delicious breakfast.
Cora sat in the rocking chair near the bed, watching him as he ate. In between mouthfuls of food she slipped a question in.
"What are you?" she asked. Knives nearly choked as he swallowed his food. The question was so stupid. he assumed everyone knew what he was. That's how full of himself he was. But the question was so innocent sounding he decided to indulge her question.
"I'm not human like you, thank god. I'm a plant, a plant born with free will in human form. Satisfied?" he began eating again as she molled over the answer.
"A plant," thought, "hmmm that would explain the speed and how he wasn't dead from his wounds. But why was he so nasty to everyone?" then she realized why he seemed to hate her kind so much. Humans used the plants to survive. Knives probably saw that as a sort of slavery. She looked at him eating, and felt so sorry for him. She said the only thing she could think of.
"I dont' blame you for hating us." she said in a hush.
Knives dropped his fork. Had he heared her right? "What did you say?"
"I dont' blame you," she stammered, fearing that she would tick him off again, "I- I mean I would hate us to if I were you." she tried to read his face, hoping that she wasn't angering him. He just sat there staring into his plate. "I never really thought of the plants as living creatures, but I never met a plant face to face either. Now that I have I-" she stopped, stumbling for the right words, " I wish we would have never used the palnts in the first place. I guess we really are just a bunch of stupid humans"
Knives was utterly speechless. How could a human, a woman no less be so..so truthful? She was actually agreeing with him that the humans were wrong. His mind was spinning.
Cora was getting nervous, as Knives just sat there.
"Glad to see you agree with me... stupid human." he snapped.
Cora looked at him with hurt expression. But Knives could tell that it wasn't a hurt from being called a stupid human. It was a hurt for him, for his kind. He looked at her for only a few moments and then broke the gaze, not wanting to look at those truthful eyes any longer. She left the room, leaving him to think about what had just happened.
Cora walked to the kitchen and poured herself a strong cup of coffee. At least she knew why he was so angry now. But how could she get him to stop?
"Wait a miute, why was this her problem all of a sudden?" she thought Why was she taking it upon herself to help this creature? He had already tried to kill her! Her mind began to wonder. She wondered if he had killed any humans. She knew he was capable. She could tell his hate went much deeper than just calling the humans names. So why was she wanting to help him? She stared into her coffee cup and realized she had no answer, except that she felt sorry for him.
Knives laid in bed. She was the first human he had met that didn't go into the whole, "humans needed the plants to survive so it's okay" speech. Still, she might have just been covering her own ass so he wouldn't try killing her again. Humans were magnificent liars when the need arose for it. Yes that was it, she coudln't have possibly meant anything she had said. It was just a ploy to get him on his good side.
"You're smart human, but I'm a superior being and see through your little ploy!" he chuckled to himself. She wasn't going to sucker him into believing anything she said. He closed his eyes and oddly his thoughts drifted to Rem. She probably would have said the same thing. That the way the humans were greedily living off the plants was bad thing. She was always finding a way to make everyone happy. She was so naive, always trying to sugar coat thing. He shook the thoughts of Rem out of his head.
The two women were making his mind cloudy. It was infuriating!
Yay! chapter three is done! Wheee. I hope you like it.
