Chpt. 7 009 at Your Serves

She wake up with her head pounding, and her body soaked in blood. She stared at the metal made ceiling for a while before she felt someone shaking her arm. Turning her head slightly to her right, Rei looked up at the red headed slayer, Miguel, whose hair was still on the damp side. Rei sat up on the bed looking down at her gloved hands.

"Showers are all yours." He smile, heartily, before walking back to join the others that were engrossed in a game of manly poker before heading to bed. She stood, and swayed a bit before walking off into the shower room. The place was in a mess, towels thrown around, some clothes scattered here and there, real pig pen. She stumbled pasted the mess, and to the showers, were she came more glad that she had waited before. It was a big room, floor and walls tiled in white, with several odd shower heads.

"Got to love the military." She mumbled to herself as she stripped down out of her blood soaked clothes. With one look at her beloved shirt, Rei let out a little cry of distress. What the hell am I going to wear now! I won't get the rest of my stuff... for like ever! She tossed it with the rest of her stuff. She was going to have to wear the damn uniform until she can clean it up. Turning on the farthest shower, she stood in the hot spray for a long time before undoing her braid. Blood color water pooled at her feet, as she undid the spiked ball's chain, and let it fall to the ground beside her. She stood in the water for a long time, letting it beat off the dried blood, and then looked around for some kind of soap. Finding that there were bottles here and there that the boys had so kindly left behind. "Such pigs..."

After what seemed to be hours, she finally worked out the blood in her hair, the smoke smell that covered her body, and shut off the shower. Only to remember that she didn't have a towel with her or a change of clothes. Mental cursing at herself, she walked quickly back to the locker room, to her locker. Funny to call it her own, when she didn't know the combo to open the damn thing. After three tries Rei gave it up, and slammed her fist against it. What do ya know, physical abuse and machinery does go together. She yanked out a white fluffy towel, and dried herself down. Then turned around to look at the messy place. She needed cloths, but all hers was soaked in blood, meaning she would have to borrow from the boys with out them knowing. Not that hard right? Fifteen year olds spoiled by their commanding officer should have a few spares, not that they knew they were on the spoiled side. With a mental picture of who's who's locker, she slammed her fisted against Shesta's. He was the only one closes to her height, and build, with two other uniforms to spare. The pants were three sizes too big, and the shirt as two sizes too small (damn female attributes) but it would have to do for now. When she got back to the main room, the Dragonslayers had already gone to bed, and the lights out. Leaving her only the moons' light to help her find her way back to her bed.

Not that the thing was much to look at, the sheets were covered in the blood that had been her, and jacket discarded on the floor. Rei just signed, tore back both covers making the bed bare, and plopped down on it. What would it matter? She was use to sleeping on a cold floor anyways.

He sat in the darkness of the room, listening to the fluttering noise of the curtains in the night wind. He closed his eyes, only to see the faces of those he had killed. Their screams echoing in his mind, there would be no sleep for him this night. He feared the dreams that would come, but even as he fought the losing battle of tiredness. The screams gave way to older memories.

(Dream)



"Celena be quiet, you're gonna get us caught." The blondish silver haired girl clamped down hard on his arm, crying softly as he tried to pick the next lock. They had planned to try; no, not try, the planned to escape these hell hole tonight, but she was to scared now to be much of any help. The lock finally clicked, and he slowly pushed it open before walking quietly though, one arm wrapped around his twin.

"But I'm scare..."

"It's ok, I'm here, and we're getting ou-" He didn't get to finish as a hand covered his mouth, pulling him and Celena back into the darkness of the shadows. He struggled a bit but stopped when he hear the echoing of foot steps. Seconds later, two guards pasted by.

"How'd the hell did they get out? I mean, the two of them are always under watch!"

"It seems, our little girl has been planning this for months. We need to check on the others, to make sure she didn't try an all outer. Then we have to find her."

"What makes them think she didn't escape too?"

"Simple," the guards turned the corner, "the bitch always comes back." There was silence for a long time, none of them moved. After awhile the hand covering his mouth fall.

"You two should get back to your cells before they notice you're gone." He turned to see a short white haired girl standing behind them. Blood tainted her face and arms. "Go quickly." Celena, who was now more scared then ever, started pulling on his arm.

"We should do what she says, Dilly. We'll get in big trouble if they find us out here." At first he didn't move, the look in the other girl's eyes where hunting. But with his sister pulling, he started to walk back the way they had come. Though not before stopping at the door, and looking back at the other girl.

"Who are you?" She smiled at them.

"009, at your serves."

Dilandau woke up in a cold sweat, the fire in the hearth lightly burning. He turned his head to look out onto the moons. For two nights now he had had dreams like that, why did Rei remind him of her?

A, evil I am as evil as one can. Will Dilly-kuns figure it out, before its to late?? (aa got to love teasers)
