Chapter 2

CC had awoken with a start.

The immortal witch shot straight out of bed to the sound of rapping on the door to her room.

"Come in!" CC shouted, wiping her eyes.

"Still in bed at this hour dear, talk about laziness" Said a women's voice. CC smiled as the figure of Kathy Summers appeared from behind the door. She was a tall, slim woman in her forties dressed in her ragged work clothes.

"What time is it?" CC asked, as the sound of birds chirped outside.

"Almost midday, was kind enough to feed the chickens and horses, which are supposed to be your duties by the way." Kath replied.

CC winced, "Sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it, you think I was serious?" Kathy smiled, "But you have to wash the pigs as punishment."

"Awwwwwwww, why me?" CC said, wearing a fake look of sadness.

Kathy laughed then closed the door, when CC heard her going down the stairs she slipped out of bed and looked around her room. She sighed after all this time she was still abit of a slob; clothes and books scattered her room, which even though was quite big looked tiny with barely any visible floor.

After she managed to put everything away CC looked at herself in her nightstand mirror. She still looked like the same, green haired teenage girl after hundreds of years bound by the curse of immortally. However for the past two years she didn't drown herself in sorrow anymore not after Lelouch saved the world by sacrificing his life.

CC looked down at the white shirt she always wore for bed, a shirt which used to belong to Lelouch before she took it for herself not long after she moved in with him. She hugged herself with it on, reminding her of Lelouch, while she was with him and the Black Knights lots of people asked her if she was in love with him. It wasn't just love after all the time she spent with him their relationship was something she couldn't describe, something that went beyond love.

"I'm going to do it Lelouch," CC said opening eyes and smiling, "If and when I die I'll do it smiling just like you said."

That actually seemed like it could happen, for the first couple of months after Lelouch's death she wondered around the world a little and saw the impact the Zero Requiem had on people; all where happy, war was completely gone and friendship between nations was strengthening everyday. Then about a year ago is came back to Britannia and got a job on Kathy's farm in the countryside.

After getting changed into her own ragged work clothes she made her way down stairs of the medium sized cottage. Kathy became a widow three years ago when her husband was killed in the Black Rebellion serving in the Britannian military. She had no children and had set up this farm three years ago but was desperate for some help. That's when CC came along and thought it was a good idea to work for a few years on a nice, peaceful farm.

"Kathy!" CC halved shouted as she made it to the kitchen. She looked around but couldn't see her.

Probably went straight back to work, I should really take a leaf out of her book someday CC thought as she went outside, she was just making her way across the fields and towards the barn when noticed that something was not right.

Where's the sound of chickens clucking or cows mooing? But it wasn't just that she couldn't hear the sound of the wind or the grass rustling, she shouted Kathy's name but she couldn't even hear her own voice. It's as if someone muted the entire area.

She started running back towards the cottage when a blinding pain went through her left knee cap.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" She cried but of course she couldn't even hear her cry of pain. She stumbled to the ground hard, she quickly managed to sit herself up and look down at her leg which was covered in blood. She'd been shot and she didn't even hear the gunshot.

Damn got to get out of here, got to find Kathy She started to crawl, even if she was immortal she still felt the pain and for a few minutes her leg would be useless to her. She almost made it to the door when her chest suddenly exploded in a shower of blood. She'd been shot without her hearing it again.

The impact of it was enough to send back to the ground, she lay there breathing hard. All she need was a few more minutes and she could at least run again. But she didn't think that would happen, even though she couldn't hear anything she suddenly felt the presence of at least two people to her right, she managed to lift her head wanting to see who it was.

It was two people dressed in black, the shorter of the two was a girl who looked like she was in her late teens; she had very long brown hair that fell just past her knees and wore square glasses that flashed in the sunlight. The other looked like he was in his late teens too; with black hair that just went past his eyes and a handsome face. He had what looked like a tranquilizer trained on her and his left eyes was glowing red.

Then the boy leaned down and sneered right at her and it was when his face wasn't obscured by sunlight that she saw who it was and it shocked her more than suddenly losing her hearing.

"Lelouch" Was all she managed to whisper as barrel on the gun in the boy's hand suddenly flashed, as she suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her neck and she drifted off to a silent sleep.
