Chapter14
It was dawn when Vash awoke. Today was the day he'd start his search for Knives. One thing was holding him back.
He hadn't told Meryl yet.
He felt like a coward not fessing up to her. But how could he? She'd only want to go with him and he wasn't about to let her do that.
He packed what meager belongings he had into his black duffel bag, every once a while glancing at Meryl sleeping peacefully.
He wanted so much to crawl back into bed with her. He shook his head, no if he did that he would never leave.
"Do it, leave now and don't look back. She just has to understand that this is something that I have to do." He thought to himself.
He slung his bag over his shoulder and left a small note pinned to the door way.
Meryl never heard him leave.
She woke up a few hours later, groggily reaching out for him, grabbing nothing but cool sheets beside her.
She sat up, his bag was gone, the hook on the wall that once held his coat was empty. She threw the sheets off , "Vash!" she called out. Expecting to hear his cheerful voice answer her back.
Nothing.
She went to open the door and noticed the letter, her heart sank at the sight of it. She opened it. He had such odd penmanship. Childlike, all that was missing were backward B's and smiley faces dotting I's.
"Meryl, I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye. I couldn't stand to wake you, you look so beautiful when you are sleeping. Heck, you look beautiful every second of the day.
I went looking for Knives today, I'm not telling you where I am because I don't want you to follow me. And just once I want you to listen to me. I'm not coming back with him, I can't, it's too dangerous.
I don't know when I will see you again. I don't know if I will ever see you again.
I meant it when I said that I loved you. I love you more than anything.
My brother is dangerous and I have to help him, it may take years, but I will do it. I will make him see the good in humans. But until then I can't be with you. If I stay with you there's a good chance he would kill you.
Don't go looking for me, if you feel the same for me as I do you , you'll grant me this one request.
--Vash"
Meryl opened the door to her room and walked to Millie's room. She sat down on her friends bed, Millie was still asleep.
"He's gone." She said staring blankly at her feet.
Millie snorted softly, and opened her eyes, "Huh? Who's gone?"
"Vash. He left without waking me. He's gone to go find Knives."
Millie sat up and stretched, "Well I guess we should get ready to go after him."
"No, no we won't. He wants me to stay here."
Millie blinked, "you mean we aren't going after him. But Meryl you love-"
"I know I love him, that's why I have to stay!" she started to cry.
Millie huffed angrily. She hated seeing her friend cry.
Millie got up and began packing their things, "Meryl for once I'm taking charge, go get dressed."
"wha-?" Meryl choked, confused by Millie's sudden take charge attitiude.
"Do I have to dress you myself?" she held up Meryls clothes, "Meryl," her voice growing soft, "I won't let this happen. It's bad enough that I had to loose Wolfwood. That's hard enough for me to bear. I can't, no I won't let you lose the one person you were meant for. I don't care what he said. What men say and what they mean are two different things."
"What do I say to him when I see him? He'll never forgive me for not listening?" Meryl sounded hopeless.
"Yes he will, he'll forgive you because he loves you. Besides you can blame it all on me. Now go get dressed before I drag you out of town in your pajamas." She smiled cheerily.
Meryl took a deep breath. Millie was right she couldn't let Vash go off into the world with out her by his side. She rushed to her room and packed her things.
They asked a few people in town which way Vash had left. They found out he had left at dawn and had almost a five hour head start. And they knew how quickly he traveled.
It was going to be harder to find him than they thought.
Yep, Vash finally got off his butt to find his brother. Sigh my story is almost coming to an end, but don't worry I still have a few chapters left up my sleeve!
Hope you enjoyed it.
