CHAPTER 7: ANTIDOTE
Millie slowly sat up,' I'm not dead?" she thought,' I heard gunfire,' she remembered Angel.
"NO! ANGEL!" Vash rushed to Angel's side and knelt down," Please be alive, please," he turned her over. Blood poured from her shoulder, she'd been shot. Autumn knelt and saw Angel's wounds, she drew her gun and shot Meryll," HOW COULD YOU?" she screamed, Meryll hit the ground. Tears streaked down Vash's face, Wolfwood put a hand on his shoulder, Autumn fell back into Wolfwood's arms.
TRIGUN
Angel stirred slightly, opening her eyes was proving to be a very difficult task. Her headache was still present, she finally got her eyes open to see Vash," Mmmph. . ."she winced," Vash?" Vash looked down at her, suprised she was alive, let alone talking to him," Is Millie allright?" she asked.
"Yes," Vash said, cupping her cheek," Millie's just fine," he kissed her forehead," Let's get you to a hospital."
Autumn and Vash carried Angel to the hospital down the road and lay her in the bed. Millie soon came in her room," Give her this, it'll get rid of the virus in three days," she handed Vash a vial of purple liquid," she should recover in no time," Millie told them," I've got to be going, the childrean of Glenwood Pines will need someone to care for them.
"Where are they?" Angel asked urgently.
"I had a good friend help them out. They're on teh sandsteamer waiting for their trip home."
Angel sighed and relaxed, Vash reached for her hand. Autumn looked at Millie," So where is the best place to give this?" she held up a syringe.
"Neck or shoulder for the fastest results."
"Okay, Millie. Angel, where?" asked Autumn.
"Neck, I've been shot in my shoulder."
Vash put his hand on her cheek and turned her to face him," Don't tense your muscles," he told her. Autumn pushed the needle in and began pushing the purple liquid into Angel. She winced and grit her teeth, Vash wiped a tear from her eye. Autumn pulled the needle out," You okay?"
Angel's body went slack, the room spun, she was drenched in sweat, and she heard a loud roaring in her ears. Vash held her hand and ran his fingers through her hair. Angel's eyes shut tightly, she tried not to pass out. Holding her breath, she waited for the wave of pain to pass. She let her breath out and her muscles stopped spasming,"Mmmph. . .that shit's got a nasy kickback."
"Yeah, just rest. You'll get spells like that untill you get well. I'll take care of Benji and the kids until you return," Millie walked to the gunslingers and hugged them,"Bye," with that she walked out.
Angel turned toward Vash," You won't leave me will you?"
"No, Angel," he told her," I won't leave you, I promise," he sat on the edge of her bed.
"Thank you," she nuzzled his hand. He lited her and let her head rest on his shoulder.
PHEW! NO ONE DIED EXCEPT MERYLL! (sorry Meryll fans!)
