Under the Falling Moon by: Bonez
*Note: I do not own the song "Voices" from Macross Plus II. If I did,
I wouldn't be living in the shack I live in today.
Nny closed the front door gently, blocking the last ray of light from his darkend house. He leaned against the door and looked up at the cracked ceiling in deep thought. Had this woman and child's presence been merely nothing more random as a roll of the dice? If so, then what a roll. What a fucking roll. Because, an extremely rare feeling had taken over him: he didn't want to kill them.
Obviously Reverend Meat had read his mind or something, because his rasp voice filled the room with hatred. "She is disgusting. Get rid of her, Johnny, her and that brat." Nny closed his eyes and chuckled a bit. "If I wanted to kill her, I'd have done it by now." Meat's eyes glowed with a jealous rage. "No! You don't know what you want! You're a machine who's powered by my knowledge of---"
Nny threw a dagger at Meat, and it flew threw the air so fast it wasn't more than just a blur. It hit the Reverend right between the eyes, and he cried out in anger. Johnny walked towards the window in an almost creepy calmness. "Don't ever tell me that I belong to you, because you've got it all backwards." Growling, Meat just watched Nny open the blinds and thought to himself how much he'd make that skinny shit pay. Right now, though, Johnny could care less.
The blinds hit the top of the window with a quick "ZIP" and moonlight filled the room almost immediatly. Staring out, he could see the house next door, the window, and her. Illana. She was tucking that kid in, and he watched her in a deep trance as she started to sing.
--------------------
Illana's dance was broke by the sobs of Jenny, who was standing in the doorway, cheeks red with crying. Quickly turning off the boombox, she ran over to her daughter, who looked so small and innocent as she clung to her mother with silver tears rolling down her cheeks in long strides.
"Mommy, I had a.......a........nightmare! It was so scary! You went away, and I was all alone and these monsters kept trying to eat me up! Mommy, don't leave me!" Illana hugged her tight for a moment, then placed Jenny on her air mattress gently. "Oh baby, I'm not going to leave you. I'll never do that." Sniffling, she clung to the blanket Llana placed on her. "But mommy! Those were bad monsters!"
Illana smiled warmly. "Darling, nothing can keep me away from you. Now, when you go to sleep and if you see those baddies again, tell them mommy's gonna kick their butts." Giving a nervous laugh, the little girl nodded. Llana cleared her throat. "Look, mommy's gonna dance and sing for you, okies? Will that make you feel better?" Jenny yawned. "Yes mommy." Getting up, she started twirling as gracefully as a ballerina.
*"The first word in my dreams I could clearly see Planet Eden high beyond the skies..."
"Beautiful and sad is this story I'll tell of the winged travelers eager......"
"'Twas one day the wind guided him where to go like and eagle high above he flew......"
"Waving from down below he flew out of sight into the mysitcal darkness......"
----------------
Nny was watching her every move in awe, and the sweet, beautiful sound of her voice filled his ears. Somehow, he didn't know how, that voice made his heart feel at ease. He felt like Jenny felt, a child being soothed to sleep by it's mothers calming lulliby. And that was a simple pleasure he hadn't had since he could remember. So he sat there at the window, watching her every move until in the middle of one magical twirl, her eyes met with his.
She stopped dancing, and in embarrassment he almost closed the blinds, but her expression pleaded him not too. She smiled warmly and sat on the open windowsill.
"Neither a smile nor a cry I gave when he left feeling my spleen decline......"
"And hoping one day we'd fly over back to the places we once shared......"
"Where vessels glide in silky waves and of gold deep in the gulf such planet lies......"
"Surrounded by this universe of love and hate confusion breaks through and dwells......"
"Pleasant dreams, Johnny," she said to him with a smile. Closing the window, she lied down with her daughter leaving Nny's head buzzing with that last phrase: "Surrounded by this universe of love and hate, confusion breaks through and dwells." Oh, how true those words were. --------------
A/N: Wow! This chapter is really long and OOC. But, this is my fic and I felt like writing a romantic! ^_^ Hmm, for all you Macross fans out there I added an extra. Actually, I've seen only part of Macross Plus, but I fell in LOVE with the song "Voices." And the more I listened to it, the more I knew I had to add it into this story somewhere. Yes I know I didn't finish the song, and the reason is because this fic is TOO long. ^^'' Oh well, I haven't wrote in a while. Thankies to those who's reviewed, and with that, I'm going to bed now. bai!
