Sorry I haven't updated in a while! Finals are coming up so I'm studying my ass off… I hope I pass! I really hate science. We're allowed to have one page of notes, one sided, and hand written. Damn science!
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
The Telltale Heart
Chapter 4
Ages:
Vash- 124
Kat- 8
"Kat, wake up," Vash said as he attempted to rouse her.
"Five more minutes Nick," Kat muttered and rolled over.
'Who's Nick?' "I don't have time for this!" Vash scooped Kat up and noted on how light she was. The girl whimpered as her shoulder was jostled. Vash tossed her a bit too roughly into the jeep and slid himself into the driver's seat.
Kat could hear guns firing and she cracked an eye open, "Do you get shot at every five minutes or every other five?" A bullet grazed the jeep's right mirror and shattered it.
"About every five," Vash replied as he concentrated on driving over the dunes.
Kat peered over the side of the jeep to see bullets pounding into the sand, sending it showering down upon them, "Thought so. Why is everyone after you anyways?"
Vash hissed as a bullet passed through his shoulder.
Kat could hear a small crack and wondered if he had broken anything. Blood began to run down his back and Kat grimaced at the sight. She took off her jacket and applied pressure to the area he had been hit.
"Stay down!" Vash barked to her in fear of her life.
Kat did as she was told and glanced in the left mirror to see who was shooting at them. Another jeep followed closely behind filled to the brim with men wielding guns.
'I can't shoot and drive with a busted shoulder!' "Take this," Vash said and produced a shining silver hand gun. Kat stared at it a few moments. "What are you waiting for?! Shoot them!" Vash yelled. He wondered if he was going to have to give her instructions.
"Fine!" Kat yelled and clicked off the safety. She aimed and fired. The first shot missed terribly as a result of her rattled nerves. Kat took a moment to collect herself then fired again. Her shot pierced the other men's tire and shredded it to pieces.
"Where did you learn to shoot like that?" Vash asked her.
"Ok first I save you now you're chewing me out for it?!" Kat scolded him. She handed him the gun and Vash painfully placed it back in its holster. "How far is the next town?"
"Five isles," he replied.
Kat could see the top of a bulb peering over the dune their jeep was climbing. Kat yawned. 'Maybe I'll finally be able to get some sleep.'
^_^
Their jeep sputtered out just as they entered the town. "I guess we'll have to go on foot," Kat said.
Vash opened the door on his side and felt Kat wrap her arm around his waist, "What are you doing?"
"Helping," Kat insisted.
"I'm hit in the shoulder not the leg."
Kat blushed and pulled away. Vash's eyes widened as his gaze landed on her. Kat noticed that he was staring at her and she squirmed a bit. Kat coughed and wondered what he found so fascinating about her. Kat noticed that Vash was beginning to sway on his feet, "Please don't feint! I don't think I can carry you all the way to the hospital!"
"Y-you're just a kid," Vash stammered.
Kat looked at him, "You didn't know?" 'Well I am tall for my age… What am I thinking?! Geesh! It looks as if he's about to keel over! He sure is pale…'
"You're jacket…"
"Yes, it's very large," Kat mumbled. "Are you sure you don't need help walking?" He muttered something about not needing help from little girls and Kat stuck out her tongue. "Come on, let's find a hospital."
"It's thee blocks away," Vash said.
"And you would know this because?"
"I've been there more times than I can count," he said and began to walk off leaving her behind.
'More times than he can count?! Why would that be?'
(A/N: Getting more interesting I hope? I still need help on an ending for UnBREAKable so please help! Did I mention finals suck? PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
