The Telltale Heart
Chapter 8
Ages:
Vash- 129
Kat- 13
"I hate Vash the Stampede…" Kat growled, "And it will be I who kill him!"
As soon as Kat spoke shouts could be heard. "It's Vash the Stampede! Run for your lives!"
Kat bolted as soon as she heard the first shout. Her steps thundered and echoed off the walls as she descended the stairs and raced out to the street. The real Vash was right on her heels. She skidded to a stop and ended up face to face with a tall, well muscled man wielding a massive machine gun. Kat shoved the barrel of her gun against the man's forehead, "You're Vash the Stampede?"
The man grinned despite being the one at gun point, "Yes I am Miss. What business do you have with me?"
"I'm here to have you're head!" Kat yelled and was about to shoot when she was literally knocked off her feet. Bullets pierced the air where she had been moments before. She looked to see who had rescued her and saw that it was her hero that had once again saved her. She wanted to thank him but Vash picked her up and dove behind the nearest wall.
"Stay here," he commanded.
Kat noticed he was looking around for something and she handed him a trash can lid, "Best thing to use besides a shield." Vash grabbed it and she watched as he walked out to the middle of the street.
"What do you want?" the fake Vash barked, "I'm Vash the Stampede! The ruthless marksman out to kill who ever comes in my way."
"You're Vash huh?" the real Vash growled.
"That's right!" the well muscled man replied.
"You can't be Vash," Vash insisted with a wild grin splayed across his face.
"Why not?" the other man asked. His voice began to become unsteady.
"Because there's only one Vash the Stampede," Vash sneered.
"I know that you fool! I'm Vash the Stampede!" the man yelled.
"Are you?" Vash teased, "Then you wouldn't mind joining me in a shoot out?"
The imposter's goons had long since split in fear that the man opposing their master was the real Vash. The fake Vash, noticing that he was left all alone, became nervous, "I don't need to prove myself to you!"
"I thought you said you were Vash the Stampede. The real Vash never backs down from a challenge," Vash smiled to himself.
Kat watched interested and hoping that her hero would come away from the fight unscathed.
"Perhaps you're not the real Vash the Stampede?" Vash fired and his shot knocked the other man's gun from his hand.
The imposter took off running but Mark, the sheriff, caught him before he could go much further.
Vash laughed to himself and put his gun back into its holster. He discarded the trashcan lid, "Good thing he bought that. I doubt that this thing would have done me any good."
Kat rolled her eyes and Vash smiled. "Pete! What are you doing here?" Kat asked as she saw her step-father come running up to them.
"Heard that there was a fight taking place and that you were in it! So I got here as fast as I could. Are you ok?" Pete asked Kat.
"Fine," Kat replied, "Seems as if he's saved me again!"
"Who, you mean Vash?" Pete asked gesturing to him.
Kat's happy expression changed to confusion, "What?"
"Stop playing Kat, surely you've figured out by now that this is the real Vash the Stampede?" Pete asked.
Kat's eyes widened as she made the connection. 'My hero is… Vash…? The one who killed my parents?' She blacked out.
