I could feel him watching as my men and I killed all in our way. We would slay them and then drank their blood. I painted a swastika on the ships deck to signify that the ship was ours. We were victorious. I wanted to ignore him, but there was a fear in my heart. I knew something was to happen and when it did...it would be disastrous...
Two Years Later...
I walked into the home base of Millennium humming, with my gun across my shoulders and my arms slung over it. There was blood covering my clothes, but none of it was mine. I walked down the hall to where Major and the rest of the gang was. I could hear Doc was very excited and Schrödinger talking to Major. They were both speaking very loudly and I could hear them down the hall. I smirked and then stopped in my tracks when I heard Major yell "ACHTUNG!" The talking ceased and I heard Schrödinger and Doc apologize. I continued and pushed the door open the rest of the way, still humming.
Doc rushed over to me and congratulated me on the kills, like he did every time. And like always, I thanked him. Schrödinger watched me, semi glaring. Over the years he had gotten a bit jealous of me since Major was always sending me out to do the killing myself, whereas Schrödinger could always go. I looked at him and smiled, taunting him. Captain was standing next to Major with his hands in his pockets. Like always. And Zorin was leaning against a wall with her scythe in one hand. She was also covered in blood, as she had been sent out on a different mission.
I looked at Major and bowed, saying, "Ze targets haff been eliminated." I shifted my arms on the gun and took it off my shoulders, placing the butt of the gun on the floor. I leaned against the muzzle of it and waited to hear his orders.
"Wunderbar. You haff fought vell, Rip Van Winkle. Ze entire time ve vere vatching you. Ve had to make sure our First Lieutenant wasn't getting rusty on us. As vere ve vatching Zorin." Zorin's head rose and she looked at Major. Apparently she was just as shocked as I. We had been put on the killing field for a test. The women of the group. Schrödinger nor Captain never had to be tested... I looked at Zorin and we locked eyes. We were both somewhat pissed. We looked away from each other when Major cleared his throat. "Vell...you are all excused. It vill be morning soon and I believe you should all get your sleep" We all nodded and turned, walking out of the room and going to our own seperate ones.
One Year Later...
As I walked out of my room, I yawned and rubbed my eyes. I walked into someone and I blinked, looking at a strange man wearing a white suit and a fedora. I blinked again as he raised his hand to his hat and took it off, bowing.
"Hello, young lady." He said rising back up and placing his hat back on. "You look smashing today." He acted as if he knew me. Suddenly he raised his hands and a full deck of cards fanned in them. "Pick a card, any card" I rolled my eyes and took a card from the deck. The man grinned and took the card, not looking at it and put it back into the deck. He shuffled the cards and then put them behind his back. "I believe you got..." he pulled his arm of from behind his back, holding a bouquet of roses. "This."
My eyes went wide and I moved away slowly, getting slightly scared of this strange man. He blinked, confused and I slowly turned and then walked to Doc's labratory and walked inside. Unlike normal I wasnt wearing my jacket and the tie was hanging around my neck, undone. I guess I had forgot to put it on that morning. Doc turned, smiling.
"Hello, chi---AH!" He dropped the tray of tools he was carrying and I jumped. He was staring at my chest. I blinked and looked down, gripping my shirt like I had the first day I met him. "Vhere.....vhere ist your jacket?" He said, clutching his chest. I was guessing he was use to seeing me with no chest, whereas now without the jacket, it was obvious I had one. He regained himself and began picking up the tools off the floor. "My child, you musn't go around vithout your jacket on....vhat if there was to be an emergency? Und ve had to leave right away? Zer vouldn't be time for you to go get it."
"I don't see the point in wearing it, Dok. Vhy do I haff to conceal myself? Are you not proud of me...? Vas I a disappointment vhen you found me...?" I lowered my head, knowing one was probably correct. Doc rushed over and put his hand under my chin and raised my face, looking heartbroken.
"No of course not my child. You vere und still are perfect. I cannot be any more proud of you. Never think othervise." I nodded and started to fix my tie while Doc finished cleaning up the tools and brought a blood pack over. "I know you haff not been feeding lately...vhy not?"
I shrugged. "I haff not had interest...." I looked at the blood pack like a child looking at vegetables. Not wanting it, but having to eat. I bit part of the pack and drank the blood while Doc kept a watchfull eye over me. A large shadow loomed over me from behind and I knew it was Captain. He walked past me, looking down and smirking, then continued on his way to a table with weapons on it. I smiled at him then continued drinking the blood. He and I had established a way of talking without actually saying anything. We conversed by looks and actions. But most of the time I just spoke and understood him. We didn't let the others know of the secret language because we knew they might think something was going on. Which it wasn't....but I wouldn't have minded...
Anyway off that subject. I finished the packet and tossed it into the trash, then walked over to Captain and watched him fixing a gun. I blinked, slowly losing interest and backed away from him, going to watch Doc. Over the loudspeaker we heard Zorin calling us to Major's office. I saw Captain walk out the door almost immediatley. I followed Captain and Doc followed me. Schro appeared out of nowhere and sprinted past us with a happy look on his face. When we reached Major's quarters, the man I had met earlier was standing beisde him, shuffling his cards. When I walked in he looked at me and smiled. I rolled my eyes and looked at Major.
" Velcome all. I haff someone knew for you all to meet. His name ist Tubalcain Alahmbra. He ist to vork along side you all." Major said with a smug look on his face. He was sitting in his chair, one leg crossed over the other and his hands lapsed together on his lap.
Tubalcain tilted his hat, an ace of spades card in between his pointer and middle finger. "Pleasure to meet you all...."
"Mr. Alahmbra..." said Major quietly. "Vhy dont you show zem some of your...abilities?" He said with an evil smirk across that little chunky face.
Alahmbra smiled "Oh, but of course!" Suddenly he flicked some of the cards out. The razor sharp edges glimmered brightly in the light.. Suddenly everything went dark.
I woke to someone stroking my forehead. I opened my eyes slowly and looked up, directly at the face of Doc. I touched my neck and felt a healing cut. That bastard.... was all that went through my mind. I put my hand back down beside me and sighed. I felt someone touch my hand and someone locked his fingers with mine. I figured it was Doc and he had moved without me knowing, but when I looked over, I saw Captain. He smiled slightly and squeezed my hand, but when Doc came back, he let go immediatley. I looked at Doc, who had a needle with him. He injected the needle into my arm and began stroking my forehead again.
"Sleep my child...everything vill be alright..."
