Chapter 4:
Knives
Knives was sitting on his office thinking. He was having a battle with his conscience about the issue of Elizabeth.
You love her- said his heart.
I can't because love is for fools- responded his mined
Yes you are a fool, but not because you love her, it's because you don't accept it- said his heart.
But love is a human feeling and beside she is just another distraction- yelled his mind
You are only lying to your self, because you are afraid of rejection. - Said his heart dryly.
Am afraid of nothing- said his mind
Believe whatever you want to believe, but I will tell you this she is your salvation and I bet she feels the same way. - Finished his heart
But he could not finish the argument because someone came in.
Knives everything is ready for the attack in September city, we leave in two days- Said Elizabeth noticing that he looked sad. "Knives are you all right?" She asked looking worried
He noticed it and a spark of hope settled in his heart. "No it's nothing I am just tired."
She noticed he was not in his sarcastic attitude. "Are you sure you are all right?"
He was starting to get annoyed and answer in a bad mood "Yes I am, you can go now!"
Sorry for asking- She responded hurt and started to walk to the door and when she was going to close it she said "Goodnight Knives!" She wasn't expecting an answer but then she heard him whisper:
"Goodnight… "
2 weeks later
Vash was doing his training routine when he hared a loud bump, he instantly went to Vicky's room and went through the door.
When he opened it, he saw her on the floor unconscious. Vash instantly got scared; he went to her and rested her head in his lap. He tried to wake her up by shaking her but could not wake her.
At that moment he started to get freaked out. "Victoria, please wake up. Please Vicky!" With tears in his eyes, he carried Vicky out the door and hurried to the hospital.
At that very moment with Elizabeth
Elizabeth was training with Knives when she felt dizzy and fell to the floor. Knives instantly was at her side. What she had felt came from her sister.
"Are you ok?" Asked Knives worried
"I have to go" Said Elizabeth while getting up
"But where, why" Said Knives confused
"I can't explain right now all, I have to leave" She said and rapidly ran out of the room.
Vash in the hospital
He was sitting on a chair holding his head with his hands while tears streamed down his face. He had brought Vicky to the hospital 2 hours ago and none of the doctors has tolled him anything about her condition.
He hared a women asking for Victoria and he looked up and could not believe what he was seeing. There in front of him was Knives partner, Elizabeth, crying uncontrollably while demanding to know were Victoria was.
Elizabeth caught site of him and went directly to where he was sitting. When she got there she punched Vash.
"Hey what was that for-!" Whined Vash as he touched his face where she had hit him.
"What did you do to her?!" Screamed Elizabeth glaring at Vash.
"Why do you care?" Retorted Vash to a very mad Elizabeth
"She's my sister you idiot!" Responded Elizabeth while collapsing to the floor crying. Vash was stunned; this woman in front of him was the sister of the woman he cared for.
Vash got down on his knees and comforted Elizabeth while he was still in shock. He said soothing words to her trying to convince her, but he was doing it mostly to convince himself.
"Is the family of Victoria here?" Said a doctor and instantly Vash and Elizabeth got up
"Doctor, is my sister ok? " Asked Elizabeth to the doctor.
"She has suffered from lose of energy, she must have a lot of rest and you must see that she eats healthy and that she has no more stress. I don't know what has been happening in her live but it most have had troubled her a lot." Said the doctor. Elizabeth instantly lost the color on her face, Victoria must have gotten sick because of her, she thought.
"Now who is this man" asked the doctor looking at Vash
"Oh, he is my sister's husband" She said calmly while walking to her sister's door.
"WHAT!!!!!" Screamed Vash. Elizabeth looked at him with a cold look. "Jeje,yeah! Thats me Victoria's husband" said Vash laughing nevously and walked with her while the doctor eyed Vash suspiciously but let them go.
In Victoria's Room
When Elizabeth and Vash went in they saw Victoria asleep on her bed. Vash looked at all the Needless and his heart wrenched in pain at the site she made. Vash then turned around and looked at the woman beside him.
"Why did you tell them I was her husband?" Asked Vash curios to know the answer.
"Because they would not let you in if you where not family and I know Vicky would like you to be here when she wakes up." She said as if it was not important and went to sit in the chair near her sister and held her hand.
The time passed and Elizabeth went to a corner to sleep. Around 10:00 Vash came in the room and sited down in the chair besides Vicky. He took her hand and unconsciously started to sing Rem's song. Victoria opened her eyes and saw Vash.
"Vash…." she asked sleepily
Vash sighed "You are awake."
"Of course I am awake, why wouldn't I?"Responded Vicky
"Oh just the fact that you have been in bed for almost 11 hours" Vash said " I was so worried."
"You were?" Said Vicky amazed at what Vash had just said.
Then they herd laughter coming from the shadows.
"You are going to give me cavities. Anyway sister I am happy that you are fine, now I'm going to live you two alone. Good bye"- Said Elizabeth while walking to the door. But before she left she said "Give love a chance…. "and then she left closing the door behind her.
Please Rewiew!
