Chapter 12
***I've been getting behind in my story, I like to stay two chapter ahead of the one that I post and I'm slowly getting behind! So don't be surprised if I'm not posting on time like I usually do. But dont' worry it shouldn't be more than a few days late!
I'm also having some writers block problems I'm not sure where I want to take these two! Do have the nerve to do a lemon? Does anyone even want to read one? If anyone has any idea on what they'd like to see let me know and maybe that will get my creative juices going (eww that sounds gross)
Anyway read, enjoy and review
Knives was quiet most of the morning after his nightmare. Cora asked if he had wanted to be alone, he merely shook his head.
"No, you being here calms me." he said quietly.
After a few minutes of agonizing silence Cora spoke, "so you have a twin?"
"Yes, you've probably heard of him. His name is Vash." he waited for her reaction.
She thought for a second, pondering the name it was a name she had heard before. Her eyes went wide when she realized who his brother was.
"You mean Vash the Stampede? The one who destroyed those two towns?" .
Knives grunted, "trust me, he's nothing like what they say he is. He's completely idiotic. He wouldn't hurt a fly, he loves you humans too much." he paused, "besides, he wasn't the one who really destroyed those towns"
Cora scrunched her nose, confused, "Well, if he wasn't the one that destroyed them who did?"
Knives got very quiet; irritated that he had he had started the conversation , "I don't know!" he snapped. Cora jumped slightly at his abrupt mood change.
Knives turned his back to her, and laid on his side staring at the wall.
He didn't want to tell her that he had been the one who had really destroyed those towns. Sure, techinically it had been Vash, but those towns would still be standing if Knives had just left Vash alone. Vash's Angel Arm would never had been triggered if Knives hadn't provoked him. It was all his fault, but he refused to tell her the those towns were now ruin as a result of his hate.
She would despise him.
"I'm sorry, I- I didn't mean to pry." she said quietly. She got up, hurt and not wanting to lay beside him anymore. She shook her head as she walked to the door, he was hiding something, she was sure of it. How many layers and secrets did this man have?
"Where are you going?" he asked, turning to face her.
"To my room, I have to get dressed." she lied, she just wanted to be alone, away form him and his mood swings.
"Stay with me." he reached out and caught her hand before she could leave the room.
"No." she said quietly, carefully pulling her hand away from his grip. .
"Why?"
"Because, I can tell you're hiding something, and you won't tell me what it is." she huffed lightly, "I'm so tired of all the secrets! I just want you to be honest, is that too much to ask for!"
Knives mood turned cool, he knew what would happen if he told her.
"Somethings are not for your ears. You'd be wise to just leave it at that." he said coldly
She shook her head, losing her patience with him, "Why!? Why can't I know! What is it Knives, is it your brother, or is it something else! I hate these secrets, I hate not being able to know anything about you!" her voice was beginning to get louder as her emotions took over.
Knives got out of bed and stood in front of her, his temper growing, "I will tell you when I think you're ready to hear it!" his blue eyes stared through her like needles, "now leave it at that, you're trying my patience!" he was beignning to get angry.
"No Knives you're trying mine! I know you're hiding something!" her voice slowly raising in volume, "or is it becuase I'm really just a stupid human that wouldn't understand your great, and powerful intellect! Is that it? Am I just a stupid human to you, somthing you've decided to amuse yourself with for awhile? Tell me Knives! TELL ME SOMETHING!!" she yelled throwing her hand in the air.
Knives lost it, her pressuring making his emtoions fray, "I DID IT! I DESTROYED THOSE TOWNS! IT WAS MY FAULT" he screamed.
He stood there breathing hard, his anger washing over him. He shook his head in disbelief...
He didn't want her to find out this way...
Cora covered her mouth as a quick gasp escaped. The anger in her veins drained away leaving cold and numb inside.
Knives stood there shaking, desperate to calm himself, "is that what you wanted know? It wasn't Vash, it was me. I forced him, I made him destroy those towns. I wanted him too. I wanted to see all those people die. Is that what you wanted to hear?" his voice cracked slightly.
Knives felt something hot in his eyes. He clenched his jaw, refusing to let the tears run. Tears were useless, they never solved anything. He would never cry over anything, that was a human emoiton, that he would not partake in. He stood there silent for a moment, containing his emotions.
"I killed them all, because I hate them! I hate them for what they've done! All of my brothers and sisters are slaves to them. And as time passes it's beginning to seem like they will never be free."
Cora was in sheer disbelief, her eyes overflowing with tears.
So many people....dead. All becasue of him....
She had always known he was a killer, but she was willing to give him a second chance. Possibly try to redeem him in time. But those towns had thousands of people in them.
All of them were dead...
She looked up at him, her vision blurry from tears. How could he do such a thing...How? Knives reached out for her hand, wanting to explain it all so that shatterd look on her face would disappear. She flinched evading his touch.
"Cora.." he said, not knowing where to start.
"No...I- I can't.." she whispered, "I have to go, I-I.. have to go" she repeated, she looked up at him before she left the room.
"You killed them....so many people. It's just so awful...I-" she was at a loss for words, she turned and rushed out of the room. Leaving Knives staring at the space she had been standing in. He heard the truck rumble to life and speed off into the distance.
Knives stood there, not knowing if he wanted to follow after her, or just destroy everything until the house fell down on him. He did the only thing he could...he screamed. Clenching his fists in tight balls of anger.
He screamed so loud that a certain broomheaded man felt it.
Knives wasn't at all surprised when he heard his brother voice in his head, frantic as usual.
"Knives what's going on? Where are you?"
"I'm fine brother, just leave me alone. I'm in no mood to talk to you."
"FIne?! You crack me over the head and run off to god knows where, and all you have to say is you're fine?"
"Yes."
"did something happen last night?"
Silence...
"Knives tell me...did something happen last night?"
"It was nothing brother, now leave me alone. Why don't you go play with that big mouthed spider of yours and pretend I'm not here." Knives snapped, already irritated by the voice in his head.
"I'm going to start looking for you. You know I can't let you wander the planet on your own. I told Rem I'd take care of you."
"I am being taken care of brother."
"What?! What do you me you're being taken care of, what's going on?"
"None of your business " he wasn't going to tell Vash he had been living with a human all this time.
"Knives if you hurt anyone.."
"Relax brother..I'm in no position to hurt anyone. I haven't got it in me at the moment." Knives slumped onto the bed, putting his now aching head in his hands.
"You know I don't trust you.."
"I know brother, no one does."
"I'll still come and find you."
The last thing he needed was Vash coming after him, "do that and you'll pay, I'm warning you brother," he was really getting pissed, "just do us all a favor and leave me alone for once! For god sake stop trying to save me! Goodbye brother.."
"Knives wait-"
Knives cut him off, he was too tired, too depressed to speak anymore.
He sat there for hours staring at the floor. The fight between him and Cora was set on repeat in his head. He was at a loss, not knowing what to until Cora came back, but then again he wasn't sure what he'd do when she returned either.
If she returned at all.
***Well I warned everyone that it would get worse. Hope everyone enjoyed it. I know Knives taking the blame for destroying July and August is a little farfetched, but hey isn't Knives living with a human farfetched as well? This is fiction! Besides the two of them were getting along too easy! The story needed some conflict!***
***I've been getting behind in my story, I like to stay two chapter ahead of the one that I post and I'm slowly getting behind! So don't be surprised if I'm not posting on time like I usually do. But dont' worry it shouldn't be more than a few days late!
