Chapter 5:

Elizabeth

As she left behind her sister and Vash, she did something she hadn't in a long time; she smiled because she knew that her sister had found the one. But as soon as it came, it left. She was so confused. What was she to do now? Could she go back to Knives? Did she still want vengeance? Well no matter. Better get home... Home? Is it my home? Enough of these foolish questions! Then she started walking to her home where Knives sat waiting.

Knives thoughts

I sit here watching through my window, waiting… Her leaving, even if for a little while had never affected me this much. Something inside me tells me that my live is going to change; I am going to have to make a big decision. I looked one last time outside the window wishing that her shadow would appear in the distance… Fool! I can't be thinking like this, Elizabeth is nothing to me, she is just a tool for my plan... or I am just lying to myself and have actually fallen in … No! Impossible, this is stupid. I can't be thinking like this. I need to rest, I am having ridiculous thoughts.

2 weeks later

Vash was in his room reading a book and thinking… What could she have meant with "give love a chance"? She probably figured out what I've been trying to figure out myself. He sighed and said… this is so confusing!

All of a sudden he got this incredible smell coming from Vicky's room and he went to see what she was cocking.

Vash opened the door and said… "That sure smells good! What ya cocking?" "It's a surprise! I need you to do me a favor, could you please stay and watch the food wile a buy some things I need for it?" "Sure, just be careful. Don't overdo it, ok?" "Alright! I'll be back in a few!" Vicky said as she walked through the door and waved goodbye to Vash.

Knives and Elizabeth

Knives was in his room, all alone thinking and wandering how and where Beth could be right now, when…

"Hello, I'm back!" said a voice. Knives gasped and turned around and saw none other then …

Elizabeth was standing behind him. He felt for the first time really happy, but he wasn't going to let that show.

"Well, it was about time you got here! I hope this is the first time and the last time you just run out of here! You better have a good explanation for this, but there's no time right now. I was waiting for you to attack. Are you ready?"

Elizabeth sighed and answered "Yes Knives." "Good! Prepare you're self. We attack in 5 minutes."

"Yes Knives. " She turned around and walked through the door very disappointed because she at least expected a Hello Beth! or I'm happy that you're ok, but, who was she kidding.

Victoria

She was walking down the street. She had just bout the things that she needed when all of a sudden a man who looked a lot like Vash, was in front of her. Everything felt like it stopped. Nothing was moving. She dropped her bags and began to breathe deeply. She couldn't believe her eyes!

"What do you want?" said Vicky, full of anger and at the same time fear as chill went through her spine.

"Nothing really! You had some questions, so I'm here to answer them!" said Knives with an evil smirk on his face. Like he was having pleasure with her fear. "Don't you want to know how you're mother died?"

"SHUT UP!" screamed Vicky as she took her gun and pointed it at Knives.

"So you want to shoot me? Well it's a tradition between you two to take you're guns and point them at me, JA!" He walked towards Vicky and grabbed her by the neck and said…

"You think that you and my pathetic brother are going to defeat me? Well, you're wrong!" He kept squeezing her neck harder and harder. "Maybe I should kill you right now. That would sure make Vash happy, wouldn't it? Or maybe I should tell you first how painfully you're mother died and then I'll kill you? Yeah, maybe I should!" Then he threw her to a wall and you could hear her screams as she slammed against it.

"Painful isn't it?" said Knives while she was struggling to get up.

At that very moment with Vash

He was looking at the window and wondering why she hadn't arrived.

"There must be something wrong! I just know it! It's not like her to come this late!" said Vash as he kept walking and walking around the room. "I'm going to see what's wrong!" He walked straight to the door when he realized that he had promised her that he would watch the food for her.

"Oh man! She's more important then the food!" He ran like crazy to the stove and said…

"I'll just turn this off. Just in case." And he ran out the door to search for Vicky

Back with Vicky and Knives

"Stop it! You don't have to do this, Knives!" said Vicky with determination.

"You think that she was a wonderful woman but, to tell you the truth, she was just like every other pathetic human!" said Knives with anger that you could see burning in his eyes.

Vicky finally stud up. "HOW DARE YOU!" she screamed at him as she took her gun, hitting him on his face and broke his lip.

"How dare you talk about her like that! You have no right to do that!" said Vicky with fury as she began to point her gun at him again.

"You know, I wonder, how come we didn't know about you two. And that's how much you think she 'loved you'."

"SHUT UP! I'LL SHOOT! MARK MY WORDS I'LL SHOOT!" screamed Vicky as she gave him a look that was terrifying. Then she smiled. A kind of evil grin and said…

"I simply think that you're just doing this to hide yourself. To hide how hurt you really are" as she walked towards him with total confidence.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" screamed Knives as he slapped Vicky so hard she fell on her back.

On that precise moment with Vash

"Vicky! Where are you! Victoria! Answer me!" Vash screamed as he ran and ran looking for Vicky. What he found was an even more interesting surprise.

"What in the world are you doing here?" said an amazed Vash.

"Vash?! Have you seen Knives?" asked none other then Beth, running towards him.

"No. I'm looking for Victoria."

Then, it hit them. "Oh god, no!" whispered Vash, shearing both eye contact in which they knew something was wrong and began running.
