Dead Start

Chapter 6: Nightmares

Two girls were wandering around the school yard when they heard a scream asking why?

"Gee Meryl that sounded a lot like that boy's voice," Millie said, looking a Meryl to see if she agreed.

"It did," Meryl muttered, "it came from the teacher's parking lot, come on lets go!" Meryl said as she began running the direction of the parking lot, Millie close behind her. They reached the parking lot, and began to search around, till Millie noticed a little gap.

"Meryl look over here," Millie called out to her friend, "it looks like an alleyway lets go see." They began walking around the corner when they saw two boys come out, on with spiky blond hair, and the other with short black hair. They were surprised to see the two girls, and then they noticed they both were carrying something. Meryl looked harder to find that they were bodies, bloody bodies; she then noticed that the blond boy was crying. He had tears streaming down his face, while the other boy looked ghostly pale. It was then that Meryl and Millie had become an important people to the Dead Start gang, for they were standing there watching horrified as the boys held two bodies.

"What happened here?" Meryl asked trembling, seeing the bloody rubble behind the boys. Yet they didn't reply, they just kept walking, like they were dead themselves. Meryl felt the pain and anger coming from the two boys.

"What happened here?" Meryl repeated, as the blond haired boy turned and looked at her. Meryl was shocked that his once kind blue eyes looked cold and dead. She didn't need an answer after that, it was obvious someone tried to kill the other. A murder attempt, she only hoped that the two bodies they held were alright.

"Vash, where are we going to take him?" Wolfwood whispered, knowing they couldn't go anywhere near the school without being accused of doing murder. Vash just looked dead, he didn't know himself, he was afraid of what would happen to him and Wolfwood.

"Y-you know," Meryl stuttered with fear, "my m-mom is a doctor, you can t-take t-them to my house, it isn't far from h-here." The two boys just looked at here with surprise, they considered their chances; it was better to go to a doctor than be accused of murder, so they agreed. Meryl began leading the boys to her home which was only a few blocks away.

-----------------

"Thank you so much Ms. Stryfe," Vash said thanking Meryl's mom for bandaging Cale and Midvalley. She obviously knew that Midvalley was dead, but she could see in the eyes of Vash and Wolfwood that they wanted him to be bandaged too. They stood there looking over the beds where the two bodies lay before they decided to leave.

"Meryl isn't it?" Wolfwood asked turning to Meryl who nodded, "would you look after Cale? We'll be back soon we have some unfinished business." With saying their goodbye's Vash and Wolfwood walked out the door and headed back to the school.

"Those boy's are really nice, but something isn't right with them, the way they act as though their hiding something," Ms. Stryfe was rambling on about the boys until Meryl noticed her.

"What mom?" Meryl asked, looking at her mother like she just released some important information.

"Oh nothing darling," Ms. Stryfe trailed off still looking at the open door where the punks left. Meryl's mom decided to make a few snacks because Millie was still there, while Meryl and Millie were looking after Cale.

"I wonder why Cale was attacked," Meryl said out loud, looking at the small boy who was lying in her bed.

"I have no idea Meryl," Millie replied, "I don't know why anyone would want to do something like this." They both starred at Cale, watching his shallow breathing, he was obviously suffering in a lot of pain. He turned and twisted, painting, gasping, like he was having multiple spasms. It almost seemed he was reliving the fight in his dreams. And that was exactly what was happening, he was dreaming the same thing that caused him so much pain before.

"I can't even imagine what happened," Meryl muttered, watching Cale twitch and turn. He was acting tenser, twitched more, and suddenly jerked from time to time. It would seem that he was at the climax of the fight. Meryl felt sorry for him, and reached out her hand to place it on his hand, to know he was going to be ok. But as she reached out, Cale suddenly jerked up right screaming. Meryl was so surprised she was stunned, and Millie gave a little gasp as Cale screamed.

Cale looked around, to find two girls starring back at him, confused he asked, "Where am I?"

"You're in my house," Meryl said softly, watching his eyes scan the room he was in. He looked at his hands, and saw that what he was dreaming was not a dream, it was a replay of what happened. He gazed in terror as his clothes were stained with blood.

"I didn't…" he gasped, "no, I couldn't possibly, NNOOOOOOO!" A faint echo was heard in the house after he screamed.

"Meryl are you al…" Ms. Stryfe started, looking to see that Cale was awake. He was starring at his hands, like he was a monster, no a murder.

"No," he gasped, as water poured from his eyes onto Meryl's clean bed, shocked.

"What are we going to do now Vash?" Wolfwood asked as they reached the school grounds.

"We must find Knives," Vash said hastily.

"I don't mean him, I mean what are we going to do about those two," Wolfwood said, taking a cigarette out and lighted it, but didn't lift it up to his lips.

"I don't know Wolfwood," Vash muttered, "what are we supposed to do?" He starred at Wolfwood, with such passionate eyes.

"How can we explain ourselves to them?" Wolfwood questioned, "I mean are we supposed to tell them that were in the most dangerous gang in our school, and tell them that Midvalley attempted murder? How are they supposed to live with that kind of knowledge?" Wolfwood glared back.

"They have to already suspect something, it would be better that we tell them the truth before they start spreading rumors," Vash mumbled, he didn't want to trust them because anyone he trusted and got close to, only bad things happened to them. But right now with what they saw it looked like the only solution to the problem.

What are we going to do, Wolfwood wondered, putting his cigarette out before he even took a smoke, were in deep stuff now.
