Chapter Four is done! Yeah! This was one of the most difficult chapters to do because I want to have everything start, but I have to take it slow. Just so you know, I don't mean to offend anyone in the story saying I hate nurses, but I really have a friary passion of hatred for them. The ones that I met are nosey, annoying, think they know everything, and won't listen to any kids because we aren't experienced enough… You would think that we know what's best for our body instead of them. But anyway, in the last chapters beginning I said I was happy to have one fan right? Well would have thought now I have at least more that one! But the one I want to congratulate is Cherry Blossom Princess2 for reviewing my story and inspiring me to keep writing. And Mochi… hehehehe I have a job for you. WHY DON'T YOU RIGHT YOUR OWN FAN FIC, ya know since you already started an account. So hope you enjoy!
Dead Start
Chapter 4: Bloody Murder
A couple minutes before the blast…
"I dunno knives, Cale hasn't tried to take the over, so maybe we should give him a break," a black haired boy said, sitting on the roof setting up some fireworks.
"Wolfwood, what if he tries to take over? He may not be doing it now but if he tires later, he'll have the whole plan set up already." Knives replied scowling, "you're sounding just like Vash, a softy!"
"I'm not like Vash; I'm saying he has a point. I don't think Cale is going to try something like that," Wolfwood hissed, trying to find a match to light the fireworks he set up, "plus we got the Gung-Ho Guns to take care of him if we need to." Yet Knives still worried about their new treat to the thrown.
"The people in the gang before us left us the responsibility to keep this gang on top. Now that may not mean anything to you and Vash. But I won't let that happen!" Knives said angrily, but the only reply from Wolfwood he got, was Wolfwood was lighting the matches. The sound of the fireworks hissed loudly ready to blow. Knives watched in interest, wondering what this would accomplish. Suddenly a huge BOOM sound shook that school building, knocking Knives and Wolfwood over.
"What the hell was that?!" Knives hollered at Wolfwood getting up, but he was watching the fireworks. They were knocked over, ready to blast at any moment.
"Get down!" Wolfwood howled, grabbing Knives legs so he fell over again. The firework had just shot off right towards Knives' head if it hadn't been for Wolfwood pushing him down. The two fireworks set off in different directions, one was headed straight towards the school roof, and the other went off the side of the building into the school yard. Fallowing the huge boom earlier, the fireworks made a tremendous amount of popping and then a final bang.
When Meryl and Vash heard the final bang, they instantly forgot each other and stood up. The explosion wasn't too far from where they were, so Meryl began to walk slowly over to where she heard the chorus of popping noises. There was smoke in the hallway up ahead, which led to the conclusion that the explosion took place here. Meryl started investigating the scene when there was crumbling sound up above. Meryl looked up to find that the ceiling was about to collapse right over her.
"Meryl!" Millie yelled desperately.
"Look out!" Cried a voice, which snatched Meryl and dashed to safety. Meryl looked up to find the same spiked haired boy she'd meet only minutes ago on top of her. Vash instantly got up and helped Meryl to her feet.
"Ah, sorry about this," he apologized, "you see you would have been crushed so I had to save you!" He was wearing a goofy smile and started laughing like it was nothing. For one instant he looked normal, but the next he just looked like a crazy loon! Crackle, was the last sound Vash heard as a small piece of the ceiling fell and hit Vash square on the head. Vash looked stunned for a second before he collapsed to the ground.
Millie instantly dashed over to Vash, stepping over the remains of the ceiling and picked him up dragging him over to Meryl, like a dog returns a ball to his master.
"We should bring him to the infirmary, "Millie said, waiting for Meryl's reply. Meryl seemed hesitant on what to do, but she had to agree that this guy needed help.
"Yeah, we should," Meryl said, still a little hesitant, but it was for this punk's good, right? So Millie and Meryl rushed Vash to the infirmary, where the nurse said Vash was so close to dieing that he needed to stay in the infirmary for along time.(mind you, I hate nurses) Meryl thought the nurse was over reacting, come on he got bonked on the head, and that means he's going to die? It just didn't make sense.
"Gee, miss I didn't think a little bonk on the head was close to dieing," Millie said absentmindedly, starring at the nurse. The nurse just glared at Millie, thinking who gives her the right to tell me he wouldn't die? She's just a dumb teenager. She's not even a nurse. Yet the nurse didn't say that out loud and just smiled to Millie's comment.
"I think you two need to leave this boy so he can get some rest," the nurse said, giving Meryl and Millie a painful smile, which looked like she would choke if she smiled any longer. Meryl felt that they were unwelcome in the infirmary, so she led Millie out the door, into the hallway. Meryl also could tell that the nurse was hiding something about that boy. She wanted them out quick, a bit too hasty.
"I don't think that nurse liked us very much Meryl," Millie declared, following Meryl down to the office.
"There was something about that boy, she didn't want us to find out about," Meryl said, "so the school must know something if the nurse does, and that is where we start Millie, that's where we start."
"So we should go looking in the school files to find information about the Dead Start gang," Millie whispered because some teacher's were walking by.
"Exactly!" Meryl said, exited cause this was the clue they needed.
Knives and Wolfwood ran as far as they could from the crime scene. They decided it was best to be causally strolling along in the school yard, while looking to where that huge boom originated from. Knives couldn't find anything and gave up while Wolfwood looked, and looked but everything was the same as before. Sighing, Wolfwood took out a cigarette and headed in the direction of his favorite smoking place, behind the teacher's parking lot.
When Wolfwood arrived he dropped the cigarette in horror, looking at was once a little alleyway, now was a complete pile of rubble. In the center of the rubble there was a mass amount of blood scattered on the cement pieces of once alleyway. Wolfwood walked over to where the blood was stained and saw a boy lying on the ground. He was completely battered, with cuts and bruises, he had broken is right arm and was shot four times in his left leg. Someone had tried to murder him. Wolfwood looked harder at the punk to realize he was alive. After that beating he's still alive! Wolfwood thought, amazed. But something wasn't right here, Wolfwood could have sworn he recognized that face, wait it was him, it was Cale! Something else caught the attention of Wolfwood as he walked a little bit further to find more blood.
Oh my god, was the last thoughts running through Wolfwood's head as he started at another body, dead, holding the remains of a saxophone.
