Chapter 7

Title- Untitled Melody

"Knives? Please, listen to me. You have to open the door, and talk to me. Knives? Please?"

Vash begged Knives through the closed and locked bedroom door.

"Knives, how are we suppose to get Milly back, if you're locked up in your room. Please come out."

Vash was beginning to see that this was hopeless. He gave up after a while.

"Meryl, what am I going to do now? Knives has reverted back to hating humans. We're back to square one again. How am I supposed to fix this? I can't. Knives, liked Milly, and now that she is gone..."

Vash stopped and had tears running down his face.

"Vash, you have to go after Milly. It will be the only way for you to snap Knives out of this."

Vash looked at Meryl with tear stained cheeks.

"What if I do, and it doesn't work. Then her heart will be broken, and Knives will be like he was before."

Meryl sighed heavily.

"Vash, we can worry about things like that later. Right now we need to focus on getting Milly back."

Vash nodded his head.

"You're right. I'll go. You stay here with Knives."

Meryl nodded her head as Vash got up to leave, the door to Knives' room opened.

"I'll go too. But, only because I don't want to be left here with a human."

Vash smiled and nodded his head. He knew that wasn't the reason.

In Karsted City...

Milly sat up as food was brought to her.

"Now. You be a good girl, and eat all of the soup. I'll be back later."

With that, Steven gave her a peck on the cheek, and left her to her own thoughts.

Milly sipped at the soup. She wasn't sure if whether or not she should trust it. It could have been poisoned, and she wouldn't know.

'Why would they poison the soup? They want me, and so they wouldn't kill me after all that trouble with getting me, right?'

Milly thought as she sniffed the soup.

'Oh yeah. Like I'm going to be able to smell poison.'

Milly continued to eat the soup, until it was all gone. She sighed heavily, as she set the empty bowl on the table next to the bed.

'What if Vash doesn't know where I am? And Knives, what is going to happen to him? Poor Sempai, she has to deal with all of this. If Nick were here, he would know what to do. He would be able to help them through.'

Milly laid back down and closed her eyes. She wasn't really tired, but there wasn't really anything to do.

'I guess I have to wait until tomorrow and find out what they are going to do to me.'

Milly sighed heavily again. She didn't like the situation she was in one bit.

Back at the House...

"Now, Meryl, you stay here ok? This is a very dangerous mission, and I don't need you getting hurt."

Vash said gently to Meryl.

"But Vash I want to come with you. Milly, she'll need someone to stand by when you get her back."

Meryl begged Vash to let her come with, but Vash still said no.

"Please understand Meryl. This isn't going to be simple. It is going to be hard for both Knives and I. We don't want you getting stressed out over this either. So it would be best for you stay here. Understand?"

Meryl nodded and wrapped her arms around Vash.

"Just be careful out there. I want you to come back in one piece. Ok?"

Vash nodded, and gathered the bag he had packed. Knives had a similar bag, and was standing by the door.

"I have to go now, ok? I love you baby."

Vash gave Meryl a kiss, and when they parted Meryl spoke.

"I love you too sweetie. Now go bring back Milly."

Vash smiled. He and Knives where off to get Milly back, and hopefully Knives' trust in humanity.
