At first, I'm having some problems with uploading documents. I'm not the only one I saw on Twitter.
So, I've decided to change the document with chapter two and add it to my story as chapter twenty three. I hope it's gonna work.
Thanks for the reviews! I understand what you are saying with Vinnie and Violet became a couple quickly after Charley died, but hey, when it's meant to be, it's meant to be. :)
Chapter twenty three
The two love birds spend the whole day in bed. They talked, made love, talked again, made love again… When it was dark outside, Violet stretched and yawned.
"Damn, I'm lazy…".
Vinnie nodded. "Same here. I really could use a good ride right now. Coming?" and he offered his hand.
Violet hesitated. "Aren't we supposed to stay at the base when it's dark?", she asked, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she smiled. Yeah. It's Vinnie we're talking about. Like he is gonna do what he is told. Vinnie smiled back. "Oh you know me so well. Let's go, sweetheart. You got nothing to worry about. I'll protect you." And Violet knew he would. She took his hand and he helped her out of bed. They got dressed and sneaked through the hallway to Vinnie's bike.
"I thought Biker Mice didn't sneak?", Violet asked innocent. Vinnie shook his head. "Only when we don't have a choice."
When they heard footsteps, Vinnie dragged her around a corner. Modo and Gaya walked through the hallway, holding hands. Violet tried not to giggle. She was happy for them, but this sneaking just made her laughable. Vinnie held a finger for his mouth, but was smiling too. He loved it that they were so similar. Doing things against the rules. Yep, they truly belonged together.
When Modo and Gaya were gone, Vinnie dragged Violet with him to his bike. They jumped on it and Vinnie quickly drove outside, full speed. They didn't see that someone was looking at them and was saying something into a radio.
Violet held her arms tightly around Vinnie's waist. She didn't get scared that easily, but the speed with which Vinnie drove made her feel dizzy. She trusted him, though. He knew how to ride a bike, even was very good at it. But still…
Vinnie snickered when he felt how tight Violet was holding him. "Scared, sweetheart?", he asked.
Violet swallowed. "No way", she said, trying to sound nonchalant. Vinnie didn't buy it. "Sure?", he asked as he hit the accelerator and jumped off a cliff. Violet screamed, almost flying of his bike. But his tail hold her on her place. Vinnie was laughing out loud. When the tires hit the ground, Violet smacked with her head against his back because off the hard landing. "VINNIE! Do that again and I swear…"
Vinnie laughed even harder. "And then what?"
"Then it will be you life that's on the line!", Violet yelled.
"Promises, promises…" Vinnie couldn't stop laughing. It was such a nice sound to hear him laugh, after everything they had been through. Violet couldn't help herself but laugh too. She couldn't stay mad at him.
Vinnie drove up a hill and stopped his bike on top of it. Violet climbed of with wobbling legs and pulled of her helmet. "How have you lived this long?", she wondered. Vinnie pulled of his helmet and smiled his trademark smile. "Cause I'm the baddest mamma jammer from the universe!"
Violet shook her head. "Can't deny that", she mumbled.
Vinnie sat down on the ground with his back against his bike. Violet took place next to him. Vinnie looked up at the sky. It was full with stars.
"This place… I came here a lot when I was young. Before the war. It's the best spot on Mars for stargazing", he said.
Violet was amazed by the view. "It's beautiful!", she breathed.
Vinnie swung his arm around her shoulders and pulled her against him. "Only the best for my girl", he said and he kissed her.
Violet wrapped her arms around his neck. She loved this mouse so much. It was almost scary. She never had felt how strong love could be.
Vinnie deepened the kiss and he pulled Violed on his lap. Slowly, he lay her down on her back, with him on top of her. He leaned on his elbows and broke off the kiss. He looked down at her and gave her a cocky grin. "This feels like we've been here before", and he wiggled his eyebrows, referring to their first meeting. Violet laughed and Vinnie stared at her. She was so beautiful. The glance in her eyes. She looked so happy. He still couldn't believe she was his. Of course, he still felt guilty about Charley. But deep down, he knew Charley would want him to be happy. To move on, not throwing away his life.
"I love you", he whispered. Violet looked back into his ruby red eyes.
"I love you too", and she kissed him again.
Suddenly, Vinnie's bike revved her engine. Vinnie froze and looked up, but before they understood what was going on, Vinnie got yanked away from Violet.
"Vinnie!", Violet yelled and jumped at her feet. Two big Plutarkians were holding the struggling Vinnie. Violet looked around. They were completely surrounded. She felt two pair of hands grabbing her.
"No! Let me go!", she yelled.
Vinnie struggled even harder. "Let her go! Now!", he roared in anger.
"No way, mousie! You gave us a lot of trouble. First Limburger, then the attack which YOU were leading. You are so gonna regret it", one of the soldiers said, avoiding Vinnie's tail, which was lashing in anger.
"She had nothing to do with that, so let her go!" Vinnie tried to get free, but they were too strong.
"Oh no. That is not gonna happen. She is your weakness. So, you can watch how we kill her. I figured that would be a good start for making you pay. Did you really believe in a happy ending, mousie?"
Vinnie's blood turned cold. No, no, no… He stopped struggling.
"Please, don't hurt her… I'll do anything, but please… Let her go…"
The Plutarkian laughed at his pleading. "See? Weakness."
Vinnie looked at Violet, which was looking back desperately. But then, he winked at her and whistled through his teeth. "Atta bike! Fry them!"
His bike revved her engine and the cannons popped out. She drove straight to Violet and shot the two soldiers who were holding her. But the others returned fire. Violet ducked and looked at Vinnie. He had despair written on his face. He yelled at his bike. "Take Violet and GO!" The bike drove to Violet and she jumped on. Before she could say anything, the bike drove full speed away from the fire fight.
No, Vinnie! Violet turned her head to see one of the soldiers hit Vinnie so hard that he fell on the ground. He didn't stand up. Violet cried. No… She grabbed the handlebars and tried to turn the bike, but it was no use. The bike didn't respond.
"We need to go back! We need to help him!", Violet yelled hysterical. The bike beeped angry, but didn't turn around. Her owner had gave her an order and she obeyed. Not that she liked it, but she didn't have a choice.
Violet was screaming and crying, hitting on the bike. "GO BACK, you stupid thing!" but nothing worked. There was nothing Violet could do to help Vinnie. The bike was driving too fast to jump off. Violet stopped hitting and gave up. The sooner they were back at the base, the better. She needed help to find Vinnie and bring him back, before it was too late.
Please review! :)
