CHAPTER 3: DEAD OR ALIVE?
Autumn heard Angel screaming at someone, she ran from the room," NO!" Angel, yelled at Vash," Come on! Hand in there! You're gonna make it!" she began CPR on the lifeless Vash. Autumn grabbed the crash cart from the closet. Angel wasn't giving up.
TRIGUN
Wolfwood's eyes popped open as heard Autumn race from the room, what the hell was going on? He heard Angel's plea and knew it was all over," Vash! You're gonna pull through! Wake up! Please!"
He knew it, his best friend, his only friend was dead. THe only person he could rely on was dead, and it was his fault. Why did he shooot that kid? Even if he was a Gung-Ho-Gun, maybe he had a chance to be allright. Now Vash would die angry with him.
FLASHBACK
Giant worms were everywhere, murdering all who came their way. No one was to be spared. The children he and Vash had been taking care of were in danger. He'd noticed him first, Vash shot the earpiece off of the Gung-Ho-Gun. It was a child, buy a deranged psychopathic one with the mindset of a sociapath. Vash looked at him and asked him," Why?" Tears were in Vash's eyes. Meryll and Millie were both in shock. He had to do it, Vash had walked toward the Gung-Ho-Gun with open arms. The child held a gun to Vash's head. Wolfwood pulled his own gun, aimed, and shot the bastard in the side of the head. The rest of the kids gasped and ran from him. Tears threatened to fall; buy before they could, Vash hit him so hard he fell to the ground. He'd seen the pain in Vash's eyes, the angst, the anger. Wolfwood jumped from the roof and ran to destroy the worms. Vash helped, but to no avail.
END FLASHBACK
Well that's what had gotten them here. Wolfwood knew he wasn't much of a priest, buy he knew God all the same silently, he prayed.
TRIGUN
Angel pushed down on Vash's chest hard and forced air down his lungs. Still nothing. One more minute and he'd have brain damage if they even got him back,' Never give up,' she told herself,' this will not be a dejavu of July CIty!' she pushed harder, trying to shut the memorey out.
FLASHBACK
They were scattered all around, dead bodies lay in the heaps of rubble and mounds of concrete. Autumn hadn't been with her on this mission, she was back in the town of Augusta. Angel looked for days, trying to find any survivors. One day, she found a small girl. No more than eight years old, she'd been hiding in a basement. Her parents gone. . .
END FLASHBACK
This reminded Angel of her own life, both of her parents had been killed by a man with blueish hair.
FLASHBACK
Angel had been ten the first time tragedy struck her life. She'd gotten out of school, and was walking home. It was her father's birthday, she stopped at her friend's place. Zeke was a welder, he taught her how to weld and sculpt; buy also how to work with wood. Angel had made her family a brand new set of chairs and a new table. Zeke hooked up the flatbed and helped her pull it to her house. When he'd left, she ran inside to show her parents her accomplishment. She gasped and her stomach turned sour. Both of her parents were on their knees, in front two men. One was blonde, the other had a dark blue-violet hear color. For no reason at all the blue-haired man held up guns to their heads and, as Angel screamed, pulled the trigger.
END FLASHBACK
Angel found herslef crying, Vash still hadn't stirred. She pushed again and again, then heard a beep. His heart began beating slowly, buy surely. It slowly climbed and then stablized. Angel collapsed on top of his chest.
TRIGUN
Vash woke and noticed a woman crying on his chest. Slowly, he put a hand on her back," Angel, you just saved my life."
"Vash?" she looked up into those gorgeous eyes.
"I'm allright now," he managed," I just needed blood."
"We gave you that, Dracula," Autumn said jokingly. Vash held Angel to him, he was forever in her debt. Her hair fell over his face, he smelled the scent of flowers and perfume that wasn't too strong. His wounds had been stiched up and taken care of well," It's allright, my Angel," he told her," I'm alive."
TRIGUN
Autumn entered Wolfwood's room," He's alive!" she exclaimed," Angel saved him!" Wolfwood sighted in relief, they were going to make it out alive once again," That's great," he told her," I thought we were goners.
TRIGUN
Weeks went by, the girls cared for the two gunslingers and tlaked with them of their adventures. The children would go into their rooms and play, the men enjoyed it so much they would join them. Laughter was present in the small house once more.
TRIGUN
Angel got up one morning to Benji's frantic, yet tough. voice," Angel! There are men outside the door with guns!" Angel picked up her favorite handguns and walked to her door. Opening it, she stayed out of firing range," What do you want?" she asked.
"You're housing two gunslingers, aren't you?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"Because one of them alone is worth $$60 billion," he racked his gun," Wouldn't want the children to get hurt now would we?"
OKAY I KNOW A MAJOR CLIFFHANGER. . .WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
SNEAK PEEK. . .CHAPTER 4: HOUSE ARREST
"Who do you think you are? You can't just come in my house and tell me what to do!" Angel cocked her guns.
He grabbed her by the throat and threw her against a table, she backflipped over it and re-loaded her pistol, it was a good thing the tabel was made of reinforced steel. Autumn joined her, both waited for a time to strike. . .
Angel felt a pressure on her knee," DAMN YOU!" she yelled as her knee snapped, the men jumped on her and started throwing punches. . .
ENJOY!
