Chapter 5 the Genius of Felix Vargas
I do not own Felix or Hetalia... I own nothing... except Winter and Frost.
Lily had to think, 'What would bruder do in this situation?' she thought. Vash would have had a hidden pocket knife and cut the ropes by now. But she didn't have a knife! All she had on her was, her brooch! Her brooch that her bruder put a small dagger in, just in case! She tried to reach it with her hand, close, but she couldn't quite get her fingers around the hilt.
Making sure that Frost and Winter weren't nearby or watching, she bent her head down and gripped the handle in her teeth. After unsheathing the secret blade, she lifted her hand and bent further, careful not to cut her fingers, she grasped the small dagger in her hand. Just then the door opened, pulling her hand down she concealed the knife. "Privet, my dear. I do not see why we need you alive. But, brother says we need breathing or the plan is ruined. But I have never been one for plans~." Frost smiled as she held her much larger knife and placed it on Lily's throat. "W-Winter! Winter, help! Your sister is trying to ki-!" she was cut off by Winter barging in. "Sestra! I have told you! If we do not follow my plan, than Mafia will live!" Frost scowled, "But brother~! It has been weeks since I have slit someone's throat~!" she complained. "Mne vse ravno, Irina! Vy khotite, chtoby pozoritʹ nas? Vy khotite, chtoby Ivan nenavidyat nas za ne v sostoyanii snyatʹ prostoy plan, kak etot?" Lily was sure she heard him say "Irina" and "Ivan" in there. So was her name Irina? And they knew Ivan?
Irina or Frost or whatever she was named, trudged along behind Winter, leaving her alone to herself. Lifting her hand again, she place the razor edge to the bonds, giving a strong pull, she cut the rope. That wasn't so hard! She guessed those lessons that Vash gave her weren't so bad after all! Scrambling out of the chair she scanned the room. Wasn't there another way out? Why couldn't this be simple?
Felix and Vash after a long and tiresome trip to Russia, had finally reached their destination. There was a large cement fort with a large decretive gem incrusted into the wall near the door. "Halt! You can not pass, do you see that gem? To brake it you must..." after that the man went into a long ramble that Felix didn't bother to listen to. What scared him was that when the man finished Switzerland said "So, we have to go all the way to one place to go to another to go a cave to slay a monster, to take a sword, that it's was guarding, to brake... the crystal... to enter...?" Switzerland asked, looking confused. Why did they have a gatekeeper? It's wasn't like people were going to DO this crap! Felix walked back a few miles and returned a few hours later wielding a bazooka. BOOM! The door shattered at the rocket, "Or... We could blow up the stupid door..." Victor came out in a white mask, or Felix could assume at one point it was white before Felix and his bazooka came along. His psychotic sister came out coughing as well. Coughing, Victor choked "Good, you *cough cough cough* have made it." Felix glared "Give me Lily, you dope. Your just the brains, your sorella is the fighter." Switzerland grunted, displeased that they were all Lily's age. Why were children so young so viscous?
Hacking, Lily wondered what happened. Could her bruder have come to save her? Or was it Felix? Or both? Nah, Felix and Vash hated each other, they'd never team up. Would they? Vash hurried into the room, bullets flew threw the air, leaving holes in the door as he pulled her to the ground. She was a little disappointed that Felix wasn't the one saving her, but right now, she wanted to go home. And Vash was her family, and he was just as good, possibly better, of a fighter as Felix. "Lily! Stay down! I'm going to go out there and help Mafia! Don't move unless necessary!" he call over the deafening gunfire. "Felix is here!?" she yelled, Felix did care enough to save her! But he was fighting those two! Switzerland army crawled out of the room into the line of fire.
Felix was dodging gunfire and knives the best he could, but with two people coming at him it was hard to avoid being struck. He was grazed by four bullets and cut at his ribs and arms, Irina was about to strike a blow when Swiss bashed her with the butt of his gun. "No one take my sister, b*tch!" he cried as she crumpled. Victor was coming at him with two weapons, a lead pipe and a Russian Revolver, Felix wasn't sure which kind and at the moment, he didn't particularly care. Felix vaguely noticed that Irina was missing from this picture, but dismissed it because of the current situation at hand. That was until he heard Switzerland's cry of pain, and a sharp 'Pa~ng'! Felix grabbed Victor's hands and banged their heads as hard as he could without knocking himself out. When Victor fell, Mafia ran to the where Swiss was, Vash was gripping his side as blood seeped through his fingers turning his hands an ominous red, Lily was on top of Irina clawing at her face tears drenching her cheeks and a harsh determined look in her turquoise eyes. Irina was now sporting a black eye and her face was marked up from Liechtenstein's nails digging into her skin.
Felix pulled Lily off her before she killed Irina. He didn't care about Barinova, but he didn't want Lily to have to deal with the thought of that SHE killed someone. Someone as innocent as her should have to deal with that, Felix grabbed a fistful of Irina's hair and smashed her head on the floor, blood oozed out, not enough to kill her, just to knock her long enough to ensure that they won't be followed for a few hours.
Felix slung Vash's arm around the back of his shoulders and hauled Switzerland into a standing position and grunted "Come on soldier. You can do this! Are you going to let all those centuries of hardship go to waste by this?" Vash let a low moan, but started to stagger with Felix to the exit. "Come on Lily, it'll be a while before you can really stay at home. We have to keep moving, grab what is necessary at home, pants, weapons, first-aid kits, bandages, boots and anything needed to survive. Okay? This'll be tough Lily, but we gotta keep pushing forward." Lily was sobbing but she kept walking, "A-a-alr-r-right." she choked. "Don't cry Lily, we'll be fine. How about this? When we can go home, I'll buy you as much thread as you want to sew with as you want. Does that sound good?" Vash muttered, he had a small hopeful smile.
Twenty minutes later, Lily came out of the house, with bags with utilitarian clothing, weapons, and twelve rolls of bandages. Lily was wearing Vash's old military uniforms, the boots went up near her knees, and she needed to wear a belt to wear his pants, the coat sleeves were too long, so she rolled them up. An old tank-top was shrunken in the wash, she wrapped her bow that was in her hair around her arm. She grabbed one of Vash's rifles and slung the sash over one shoulder. When looked at herself in the mirror and she saw her brows were pushed into an angry appearance, she jumped, the face changing back to her own, she wasn't Vash, she was Lily. She was Lily, even if she looked like Vash. She took a deep breath and stepped outside to meet Felix and Vash.
Yeah, Lily is a little OOC. But, it is necessary for this story to be badass. I want just a few badass chapters, is that so bad!? But, she will turn back into regular Lily eventually. I just wanted to show what Lily's character was like before she became the sweet, innocence, Lily we know and love.
Lily: I'm not OOC, this is how I was before my character was changed.
Felix: Yeah!
Vash: can you just shut up and review!? I've been friggin stabbed! Feel some sympathy, for Pete's sake!
Ameriko, Lily, Felix and Vash, saying farewell.
