"DAMMIT WINRY! I WANNA SLEEP!"
"EDWARD YOU CAN'T!"
"WHY NOT?"
"SOMEONES ALREADY UP THERE!" The screaming woke me up from my peaceful sleep. I sat up without pain, happily I stretched and pain shot through my leg. I turned to make sure Rin didn't see me but she was gone, to follow the booming voices downstairs.
"SCREW THIS, I'M GOING FOR A WALK!"I heard the door slam. I decided to walk down stairs. When I got halfway down I saw Alphonse Elric and nodded a 'hi' to him.
"What was that about?" I heard Rin ask Winry. "He's just grumpy and angry but I seems like something's bugging him, he didn't eat." She looked at her feet and sighed, "But, come on lets get some breakfast!" she pranced into the kitchen and then Rin finally noticed Al and put out her hand for a shake.
"Hello, My names Rin, you must be Alphonse!" he took her hand and shook it happily as I walked down the rest of the stairs.
"Yeah that's me, nice to meet you!" I smiled "well, time to eat, IM STARVED!" Rin pranced into the area with the food. I thought I'd die. She gets pretty annoying sometimes but shes been with me since the beginning of …Well, me.
As soon as she sat down, Rin gobbled everything insight. I don't even think she notice me and Al walk in the room.
"Well I guess I was wrong," Winry said looking at Rin with a sweat drop, "she is gonna eat us out of house and home."
When Rin finished I noticed I hadn't eaten anything. I think she noticed too.
"Vash aren't you hungry?" She asked concerned. I shook my head.
"I'm fine." I said in the only way my voice would go. I felt tired and I think I lost too much of my blood. It felt as if every move i mad was painful and making me dizzy.
Rin helped Winry clean up and I noticed she kept looking at the door waiting for Ed I suppose.
"I'm gonna go look for him." Rin said after putting her hair back into braids She looked over to Winry who was sitting in a chair reading a book on auto-mail. It was about an hour after we ate. She threw Rin disapproving look but eventually gave in.
"Just don't get lost." Rin grabbed my sleeve of my trench coat waking me from my nap and basically dragged me out the door.
Rin's feet made a puff of smoke when she stepped down. I walked down the steps slowly for my leg was oddly hurting me. Rin threw me a concerned look..
"Vash are you okay?" Rin asked as I actually winced a little. I nodded.
"I'm fine." I said quietly.
About one hundred yards away the pain grew ferocious in my leg. It was throbbing so bad I couldn't help but stagger.
"Vash?" Rin said in a concerned voice as I stopped and bet over, groaning in pain. Suddenly I lost all control of my body. The pain I was trying to keep away came back with full force. I didn't know who I was but I knew I was in pain. A black abbiss surroundered me and nothing was there but pain.
"VASH!" I heard a name being as I felt hot tears run down my face. I heard a plop beside me and someone shook me with tremendous force.
"DAMMIT ASHLEY SOMMERS, ANSWER ME!" The girl screamed my name. Something happened, like a flash the painful memories of my past broke through. The pain was the same as in my leg as from the gunshot. I remembered whom it was who was calling me. Rin. My only friend. The person I swore to protect with my life. And I was dying know. Why cause of my selfish pride. I should of told her.I should have to her I was in pain. I thought I would never leave her alone.
My body was lifeless. I was dead. But something told me to hold on to my pain. Is it what kept me going? I tried to open my eyes but my body wouldn't answer. It was like my brain completely shut off. Now I was pissed.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" I screamed but no words came out of my mouth. I felt someone pick me up. I couldn't tell whom. But I was trying to focus on Rin's voice, which seemed to be farther way then before.
"Rin, no. God. I don't want to leave her. She'll be worse off without me. I have to be there for her. I can't die now. Please. I'll do anything." I yelled at no one in particular. Maybe god, if he really fucking existed. I opened my eyes to find my-self somewhere bright. I looked around to see a tall woman with long black hair like mine and a man also tall and lanky. My parents stood before me. Exactly the way they were before they were killed. I reached out my hand for them but they wouldn't take it.
"Ash, My daughter. It is not yet your time to be with us." My mother said in her quiet voice.
"Why is it that every time I get to see you its always cut short? Why did you leave me? Why?" I felt tears streaming down my face like a waterfall.
"I'm sorry, we love you Ashley. Take care." My father's voice was deep and majestic. I looked up to see everything fade to black. I was alone. Again. Like I had been for my whole life. But I wasn't always alone. I had Jack and Rin.
Rin with her goofiness. She is the one who saved me the most. Of course I would never give her the rights to know. But I think she knows any way. I smiled. But I was still standing in the black abyss. Jack my idiotic brother whom i thought abandoned me when our parents died. But he was another person who saved me, from myself.
"VASH!" I heard Rins voice still distant but I could hear it.
"VASH!" I heard it again now only a whisper.
I heard the mummers of Winry and the doctor saying the gash in my back got infected and spread to my right leg. Now that my back was under control, my leg, unfourtunally was to be amputated. Great. Now I am definitely going to get auto-mail. I am not going to be a fucking cripple. Hell no.
"Why Vash? Why now? It supposed to be the other way around, you are the strong one." I heard Rin say.FUCK! I wanted to get up and laugh at her and say, " Do you really think I am going to leave your silly ass her in Shambala by your self. Your fuckin crazier then I thought. We're in this together." But I couldn't. I was stuck, so to speak. I was between conciseness and nothing. I had to listen to everybody to keep my self-stable.
"You really care about her don't you?"
"Yeah we first met in an orphanage, The headmaster was beating me for, oh I can't even remember, well anyway Vash came over and almost hurled this guys across the room, she put him near death. After that I followed her everywhere and we have been friends since." I remember. The asshole was picking on Rin for being short. I was 15,I don't remember. I think at the time. So I beat the shit out of him. She was new. But she stuck by my side like chick to its mother. I never bothered to tell her that I did that for every child there but I enjoyed having her there. I can remember the all tests I put her up to. I always ended up fishing her out of the bad turnouts.
"You should get some sleep."
"HEY! WHATS SO FUNNY!" I heard Rin snapped.
"Whatever you are thinking it shows up on your face." That was true. Anything she had to say I always knew before she spoke. Like the whole stalker thing. She like Ed way to much. Scary.Its like saying you'd screw some guy cause he was hot.
"SO, you know I was thinking you're a pipsqueak
"WHO YOU CALLIN SO SHORT HE COULD JUGGLE ATOMS?" I'm bleeding from the ears.Gotta be Edward It was hard not to. He only yelled in my FUCKING ear.
"You…" I laughed to my self. It was Rin way of flirting. Annoying them so they think she is cute. Well anytime she did that I thought she looked retarded. But all the guys were afraid of me back in New York. I had a bad reputation.
Everything was quiet. I had regained some type of movement. I was glad and not. I heard everything WAY to clearly. Like I could her Winry from the other room turn a book page. The only reason I know why it was in another room because the pipes in the wall.
A couple hours later I heard Rin come in the room.
"Hey Vash," I heard Rin in a quiet voice.
. "I feel like it's my fault all this happened you know" She paused. "I wanted to get away from everything and look how it ended up." Again she paused. "Hey, do you remember that time when you got sick and I sang for you and you felt better?" Oh great she is going to sing.
"I'm so tired of being here… Suppressed by all my childish fears... And if you have to leave , I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here…
And it won't leave me alone." I felt a pang of sorrow. We used to sing to each other when we were kids to help one another when each of us was sick.Which usually was her.
"These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase. When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears. I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have… All of me" I felt tear come to my eyes but never broke.
"You used to captivate me by your resonating life. Now I'm bound by the life you left behind, your face it haunts, my once pleasant dreams. Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me," I felt my fingers move and I tried to reach up and grab her hand but my body would not allow me too. The more she sang the more i wanted to fall back into the blackness. Because then I would only thing of my pain and not the sorrow and misery I was causing her. I wanted to punch through a Fucking wall and maybe jump out a window.
"These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real there's just too much that time cannot erase. When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. When you'd scream I'd fight awayall of your fears. I held your hand through all of these years But you still have,All of me" I want to kill her. This is not a song for me. I am the one to save her not vise versa.
"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along!" "When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears. I held your hand through all of these yearsbut you still have,all of me…" I felt Rin's head by my mid waist. At that point I noticed my trench coat was gone and all I had on was my sports bra and shorts. ( I wear shorts over my underwear and under my pants. My pants you never see anyway. The are like 4 sizes to big.)
"You have great singing voice" I heard Ed's voice. Fuck Me sideways. He ruins every thing. I was just about to fall asleep and the rat sized bastard comes in. Ah shit.
"We're transporting her to Centrals hospital; the doctors here can't help her." Are you kidding me! "And it may still take a few weeks for her to recover, then Winry will come and give her auto-mail."
Fuck me sideways.(never in the litteral term.). The doctor back home don't want to see me because I tried to stab them with the needle in stead on them trying to get it in my arm
"Don't worry, I know I don't know you all that well, but I'm here for you." GAG ME!What a suck up. He likes her and I don't even have to see it in his face. I bet he is blushing now. "I know what you're going through."
Oh god this sucks. Now i have to listen to these idiots mush over each other. Gag.
