Zidet: hmm author notes are so important though...and it seems that everyone else does it. Wouldn't it be more personal if everyone knew how the author really is?
Zero: what's more to say? You are a nerd.
Zidet:.......... True. Oh by the way.. umm Harpuia being a female.. um I have never heard about that, but uh sure! I dont know . I just always heard he was a guy.
Harpuia:.............
Zidet: my my though. I know it felt like I abandoned this fic. But I would never do that to you all. It's just.... My computer has a virus. And I am very very busy lately handling school and depression. But that's alright. I will never just stop this . And if you ever doubt me, email me and bother me,ok?
Disclaimer- I do not own any Megaman characters but I do own Cammy...yeah. Ok just start.
As almost about a week had finally passed leaving the Resistance Base in worried thoughts about the human child. Zero, who had listenened to everyones suggestion had decided to wait a little longer before going in , while Ciel tried to pull the base together. Since no word had been spread over to them about the little girl,.they all had no idea on what to think. Was she in pain? Or was she well?
Although they had discussed plenty of times about what they would do. It always ended up having some sort of flaw. Just like the other times when Zero had just about stormed back to Neo Arcadia to retrieve the girl. Now they were back at square one. Right at the beginning of how it first started.
"I swear Ciel. They have alot of nerve capturing a little innocent girl and taking her away from her Mother. I bet it was those moronic Guardians who killed her"! Zero shouted as he looked out to the setting sun, his long hair settled lightly on his back. His eyes were narrowed in determination to get to that girl somehow. But he of all of people knew it was best not to rush into things. But then again.. they all did not know how much time they had left.
Ciel sighed heavily closing her eyes and swinging her legs back and fourth lazily as she sat next to him, her own strawberry blonde hair blowing faintly in the calm breeze. She had no idea what to say. She had never known Zero to take things into such a personal matter. So why now?
"Zero? Listen to me, ok? you can't just assume to many things. For all we know she is just fine. The guardians might not have harmed her at all. Remember they are in Neo Arcadia. And like I said before..They are using horrid methods on how to get things done.But tell me... What reason would there to be harm a small girl like her? None right"? She spoke carefully choosing her words slowly so as to not upset him more. She knew they had gone through this conversation many times. But Zero refused to truly let himself listen to what she was saying.
Zero clenched his fists. He didn't know why he was getting so angry about this. He had never felt such a strong emotional urge such as this one before. He knew he wasn't the most kindest person around. But deep down he tried to reason whether the guardians would stoop so low as to harm such a early aged human. Part of him thought it was completely silly. But his other half which proved to be stronger kept him alert most of the time and very aggrivated. There had been some times where he had even snapped at Ciel . Though both of them knew he never meant it.
He took one more glance at the sky before heading back inside his eyes still narrowed angrily. His whole stance was filled with hard core determination.
"There may be no reason to harm such a innocent being, Ciel. But I have no idea what goes through their minds now . I just..I just don't know what to think anymore." He whispered to her without turning back, leaving Ciel all alone in the company of the bright fire sky. She sadly shook her head looking toward the direction of Neo Arcadia, her thoughts racing quickly barely giving her much time to think of what she should do with each first one.
"oh Zero.. why? Why does this bother you so much"?
Cammy sat at a table a small smile on her face as she looked over to Omega X who walked by her his eyes filled with a bit of amusement seeing the small little bundle.
"Camille? Are you ready for bed? It is starting to get late now. And supposedly.. Little girls such as yourself need plenty of rest". He asked her circling around her with a smirk. He knew he was starting to enjoy having her company. She was so so sweet and gentle. And so small.
Cammy looked down for a moment as if she was in long thought. Her eyes searched until they rested upon Fefnir. She giggled a little and jumped up from her seat and skipping over to him.
"yes, Master X. But this time it's Uncle Biscuits turn to tell me a story, remember? Because...Daddy already told me one last night. And now it is his turn". Her voice was so hyper and yet so soft as she reached Fefnir looking up to him with innocent eyes.
Fefnir, having heard at being called 'Uncle Biscuit' flinched as he saw her look up at him. His eyes went from her's to Omega X almost pleadingly.
The room was dim as Cammy jumped up onto Fefnir's lap and smiled wider her eyes sparkling with excitement. She had seemed to much happier then what she was before when they had first layed eyes on her. She trusted them more. And she now apparently thought of them as family.
"well of course. Your right. Fefnir..erm.. Uncle Biscuit? Wont you tell little Camille a story? It is your turn. And everyone else it out on business right now". Omega X asked rather with a steady tone.
Fefnir knew he didn't want to,but he certaintly didn't dare decline. He found himself shifting uncomfortably as he lifted Cammy up into his strong arms.
"um, of course Master X. I would be..happy to." He turned a little as he walked out of the room with the bouncy human in his arms. His eyes were shut tightly as he walked to the childs room , rather annoyed. He was not the type to tell stories and he never would be. Perhaps if he told her a violent story, she would get so scared she would never ask him the favor of this again. But then he had the risk of the others finding out. And the last thing he needed was all of them pampering the little thing and glaring down at him.
As they reached the room he walked inside placing her on the bed and looking around a bit uncomfortably. He hadn't the slightest clue on how to even start. What did little girls like to hear about?
"hey um.. dont you little squirts like listening to stories about ponies and princess's"? his voice cracked at the mentioning of those two words. It felt so degrading sitting here telling a little brat a fantasy story. He was a warrior. A Guardian. He did not babysit. And he never cared to again. But for some odd reason, Master X and the others liked teasing him the most about caring for little Camille. The strange thing about the whole teasing was he had never spoken about once showing concern for her. But whether they knew that or not, it still pleased them, watching him squirm.
"umm yes, yes! I like ponies and Princess's! Daddy told me about a Princess before and it was so fun to listen to! I can't wait to hear yours, Uncle Biscuit"!
Fefnir hearing that same nickname for him flinced again, his left eye twitching. He needed to get to Leviathan one day and show her who was boss. She needed to pay for causing him so much humiliation.
He looked over to the window once before staring down at Cammy, who snuggled up under the covers happily and waited for him to start. He sighed again and scanned the room for some kind of idea on how to start.
"well uh, erm.. there was once.. was, erm uh a Princess... and.. she uh, moved to Queen. The End". he blurted out quickly. He himself began to wonder what he had even said. Though he could already feel himself growing hot from embarassement. He slapped himself on the forehead angrily cursing silently for not going with the other three.
"What? she moved to Queen? Why is it the end so fast? There was no plot. There always has to be a plot. That's what Mother Leviathan said". Cammy protested sitting up, a sad expression on her face.
The room was dark with only a small light at the top of the ceiling, which was for Cammy's comfort to chase her fears away from monsters under the bed. There was a long pause between the two.
Fefnir's thought stopped quickly hearing that name. 'Mother Leviathan'. He knew Camille would call Harpuia 'daddy' but. She never did just call Leviathan that first half. It was his simple guess that she had never met her Father. Why else would she have no problem calling Harpuia her dad?
"Well? Uncle Biscuit? Can't you tell a longer story. Can't you tell me how she made it to be a Queen"? Her eyes met his with a pleading face.
He was ashamed when he felt his body loosen, a bit startled at the thought that passed through him.
"why do you have to be so cute? I am not supposed to care about anyone. Especially not you. I am supposed to like fighting. And that.. ugh.forget it. You dont understand". He looked down not liking his feelings at all. He didn't want to think soft. Thats what gets everyone killed in the end. And he wasn't going to allow that. But he knew if she continued to stay here, he would eventually feel that soft spot for this little girl.
Cammy tilted her head a bit confused at the sudden change of subject. She blinked a few times before crawling on her bed over to him and lightly tapping him on the shoulder.
"Uncle Biscuit? are you alright? Do you feel sick"? she asked politely tugging on him afterward.
Silence reigned through the room as Fefnir kept his head down,eyes closed.It felt like forever before he responded.
"Camille. Lay back down. I will tell you the story". his voice seemed to be much calmer than it was before as he kneeled down beside her bed and placing his fingers over her eyes, making them shut. He knew he would be done with all of this soon. So he just needed to get through this one night. Now that he had just finally planned on what to do with little Cammy.
"Squirt? Have you ever heard of Maverick Hunter, Zero"? his voice kept its calm tone as Camille closed her eyes snuggling up in the blanket once again. She nodded lightly, a smile forming at the sound of his name. She giggled a bit and shifted more in the bed getting comfortable.
"oh yes. Mommy used to tell me about him all the time. He is at the res..resis."she trailed off trying to think of the pronounciation of the word. Her small hand went to her chin in thought again as her long dark hair streamed over the pillow.
"resistance base. yes. That's where he is at. He also stays with a human girl named Ciel. They are a bit of a couple. And they .. well they know you are here. They want to come take you away. But not for long. They umm... They told me they wanted to show you around the base for a bit and then either me or one of the others would come pick you up. Would you like to do that? I am sure it would please Zero and Ciel". He continued as he stood up glancing back at the window knowing this was the only way to make this happen. He knew just as well as the others that the Resistance Base was probably planning an attack to come for the girl and forcibly take her away from Leviathan. And although that woman got on his last nerves sometimes he did not want to see her hurt. And aside from that. This child was changing everything. Since when did they have 'nap time' and snack time'?
Cammy opened her eyes a bit and looked over to him with a confused stare. She hugged her pillow tightly to her and followed his gaze to the window.
"hm? They want to show me around. Thats all? And then I get to come back here? You or someone else will come get me?" she questioned her voice softer then usual.
"But...I thought Master X didn't want me going over there. right?"
Fefnir knew she was tired by her movements as he simply nodded walking over to the door figuring that would be his 'story' for the night. The only one he would ever tell to her. For he knew no matter how much she wanted to come back, The resistance Base would probably keep her with them under Zero's personal protection. And he didn't believe even Omega X could retrieve her back after she was gone.It would be to much to go through for a small girl. Everyone would soon come to their senses. Especially Leviathan.
"yes Cammy. Thats all. We will come get you later. I will take you tommorow, alright. And you only have to stay there for a little bit.And as for Master X.. well I just talked to him a little while ago. And he said it was alright...But um, let me go talk with Mr. Zero right now and make sure you are still able to, ok"? he took a step outside of the door and glanced back.
Camille merely nodded feeling to tired to say much else. She rubbed her eyes laying back down under the covers and drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
Fefnir sighed again pondering whether he should really do this. Either way though. It would break Leviathan's heart. But he could not allow this human girl to corrupt all of their minds. IBut it seemedthat Ciel over at the resistance base would have more time for little Cammy anyways.
In a way... he was trying to help everyone. Which also aggrivated him. But knowing he was helping himself made him shrug it off as he left the room, planning his visit to the base to have a little chat with Zero.
Zidet: there! (sigh) I hope you all like that. um I do hope you all are still reading this. Remember. Never be afraid to bother me through email if you want. But just know that I am trying my hardest to write whenever I can so..um yeah.
Cammy: silly Zidety
Zidet: yes yes , silly me. oh um. YES!!! I know! the grammar and everything sucks! but please please give me a break. I am having a hard time concentrating. But I wrote this all for you. so everyone feel loved. Feel very loved. And just know I have no intention of stopping this fic. I just have hard times writing it. But ..oh whatever (hugs everyone) dont be mad at me!
Zero: oh yes..and one more thing...Zidet practically made me and Ciel have the same conversation as last time..please forgive her..
Ciel: yes..just pretend Zero got really mad and discouraged and went back into the base..and um..erm.. a few weeks passed... yeah..thats it...
Zidet: you are probably confusing them...or ...well I am..(sigh) never mind..please forgive me..I am trying my best..
