Sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time.
Chapter 3: Waiting for you
"I swear, I swear Suzaku, I'll find her and…. And I will obliterate Britannia"
Many things have changed since the day I was taken away. They brought me to a Britannian military base and kept me locked up most of the time. I didn't know why and how this happened it just did. One moment I'm with the three people I love most and the next I'm not. I was seven , most seven year olds wouldn't know what was happening either. I did know one thing , no one knew who I was. All I could do was watch and learn, because there was nothing else to do. I was barely feed, chained up, and never let out. I was like this for about a month before anything happened and when it did I wished it hadn't.
Many children around my age were being locked up as I was. Their faces in terror and they looked as if they spent years without food. I looked up to here the soldiers were and overheard them talking. It was about finding the perfect one to withstand it. It? After a couple of days I found out what "it" was.
Three soldier and a general were taking the children out by fours.
They were taken into a room and came out…. The children came out…. Dead. I knew it was the end for me when they walked up to my cellar and unlocked it. They took me and the only other boy left. He was the oldest of all the children, around eleven, and had ruffled up white hair and cold piercing blue eyes. He didn't lift up his head , all he did was walk. We walked in and that's when it happened.
Flashback
" These are the last of them" the soldiers said as they took us in the room. Inside was an experimental lab, man scientist were working on machines. That's when I saw it. The children before us were being inserted with some liquid. I don't know hat it was , but as soon as they did there was a horrible scream from them and then they all just couldn't hold it anymore and died.
" What a pity" said one of the scientist and some other soldiers took the bodies of the children. "Not one of them have been able to withstand the artificial geass"
Geass? So that's the "it" I thought
He looked toward us. "These are the last of them?"
"Yes, sir"
He walked forward and studied us carefully.
"Just by looking at them I think these two will be able to stand it, though I have been wrong before"
They unchained us and started to strap us to these metal beds.
"Are they ready?"
"Yes"
"Let's hope for the best then"
I scared to death, because I knew that as soon as that liquid reached me I was dead. All I ever wanted was to live the rest of my life with Nunnally, Lelouch, and Suzaku in peace. Nothing could change my destiny now. The boy was up first, he had a serious face on as if his life was never worth anything anyway. The men started typing some code on the computers and as soon as they did the liquid was released into the boy. He was emotionless and hadn't screamed like the other children.
Was he able to withstand it?
BEEP, BEEP
"What happened?" The scientist ran in as all the computers and machines went berserk.
"We have no control over anything, everything's getting destroyed"
"What that can't be, we just recharged the main generator"
He ran over to the computer and studied it.
" The artificial geass genes are having no affect, but this can't be he's just….just a child" He started walking backwards with a frightened face "Everyone, everyone hurry we have to leave or we'll die everything going to explode! Abandon the project!!!"
"But sir the children…."
"Take them HURRY!"
The boy suddenly unstrapped himself and ran toward me and helped me out.
"Quickly run!"
He grabbed me by the hand and we ran out.
"Catch them"
"Where are we going?"
"Just run you IDIOT!!"
We ran and ran for which seemed like hours. We found a cave and ran in there to hide. I was breathing fast and so was the boy.
"Who are you?"
I managed to say that after catching my breath. The boy walked up to and grabbed my hand. He pulled me up roughly to my feet.
"We don't have enough time"
"All I want to……"
He quickly cut me off.
"If you could wish for something what would it be?"
I thought for a while about that question.
"I, I wish to become stronger so that one day could change the world and live happily with the people I love"
" Then let's make a contract. I'm going to give you something, something you'll treasure, I'll grant you your wish to become stronger, but in return one day you'll grant me one, do you agree?"
"Yes"
"Then so be it"
Out of nowhere images of my past went by me. Images of dead people walking by me. And then , I saw the boy.
"I will grant you the gift of geass."
It all stopped.
Silence.
"Hurry you have to go, They're coming"
He started to push toward the opening of the cave.
"Wait, what's geass? Who are you? Where do I go?"
"I'll say this only once, I'm going to distract them, you keep running north on that path over there and you'll soon reach a big building called Ashford Academy. There you'll find your brother and sister, now hurry"
"And about this gift"
"One day in the future I'll meet you again and explain everything, but until then you must never use the geass"
He keep pushing me forward until I stopped him again.
"Wait"
"What now!"
"What's your name."
He smirked.
"Z2"
From there I ran off to find my brother and sister.
End
It has been 7years since I've seen him. I never once used my geass like he said, all this time I've been at Ashford with Lelouch and Nunnally. It's been nice, but Lelouch as always is still ………..
"Snap out of it miss daydream we're here"
I woke to see Rivalz snapping in my face.
"Huh?"
"I don't know Lelouch do think it was a good idea to bring your sister with us?"
"I couldn't agree more it is dangerous for her, but if we didn't she would tell on us"
"I just wanted to see what you do when you skip school"
I got off the bike and started walking with them to the building where Lelouch was going to gamble.
"Aren't you skipping school too" Rivalz said standing in front of me.
"She got the day off today, now stop harassing my sister"
Yup I was the genius of the school. I've been ranked number one for the past 2 years. When I first arrived at the school all I did was spend the day at the library.
I'm only fourteen and already I'm smarter than everyone in the school. Although I wanted to stay with my sister the principal skipped me all the way to my brother's year. It was a good thing I knew everyone or else I would feel lonely. Since I had so many credits all my teachers gave me the day off today. Skipping years wasn't different then where I was before although, for some reason I was very popular with the boys at school which I hated. I've always looked the same. The same purple eyes, short curly hair, straight bangs, same serious face, I never changed. I as never very social and I only had one true friend.
"Come, let's go Anya"
"Right"
I keep to myself the whole chess game. I haven't been able to smile in a long time at least not a real one because I always had a smile on but a sad one. There has always only been one person who really made me smile.
Suzaku…
"I love facing nobility they always pay out of pride" Rivalz was happily talking as we exited the elevator and to the bike. " And by the way, eight minutes thirty-two second that's a new record"
"Well what did you expect, your taking about my brother here"
"He also didn't have much time to move" Lelouch said getting into the side seat "And as opponents go, the nobles are tepid, they're just over privileged parasites that's all"
"Big brother, I don't think this is very safe, I mean you can get hurt especially with your lack of athletic skills which means you couldn't even run away, it worries me"
Lelouch sighs as Rivalz walks in front of me.
"Don't worry Anya , he has me here so he'll be safe"
"Yeah, that doesn't make me feel better"
"Anyway we should get back to class"
Rivalz walks to the bike as I turn around.
"A bombing?"
Lelouch and Rivalz turn to see a large screen on a nearby building that showed destroyed houses and building. I just stared at it with a emotionless face on.
The screen changed to the Britannian flag and later Prince Clovis who made a speech.
"Well aren't you gonna join in?"
Rivalz was already on the bike with his helmet on which showed that he already made the decision.
"Are you?
"It's sort of embarrassing"
I turn back around and look a Rivalz.
"And I agree with you, besides spilling tears won't bring back the dead"
They look at me.
"Dang that's dark, Anya"
"Well until someone makes a difference it's all the same self-centered theory"
Lelouch looks down.
"She's right you just can't do it. You can't change the world"
"Hey…." Rivalz started as he drove through the road "That first move you made"
Lelouch looks up as I was behind Rivalz.
"Hm?"
"Why did you start with the king?"
I had finished that question for him.
"If the King can't lead how can he expect his subordinates to follow?"
The question was set more as a direct answer.
"What's with that"
"With what?"
"Do fantasize about running some large cooperation?"
"No way, ambitions like that will only ruin your health…"
I came back to the world as I heard a load horn from behind us.
"TRUCK!"
"We're gonna die!"
We quickly move to the side as the truck turns into a dead end tunnel.
"Um? Was that our fault?"
Rivalz looked confused as I started to analyze the position of the truck.
"I highly doubt it"
I get off the bike and walk over to see it more closely. A weird light moved over the truck.
"Hey guys come check this out"
I look to the side as people start to panic.
All those idiots.
Lelouch starts to run towards the truck as I follow right behind him.
"You guys?"
We reach the bottom as Lelouch looks around.
"Hey are you alright" He tries to move a pillar "Anya go back it's too dangerous for you"
"No way, I can take down a whole army I'd say you need me"
I look up.
"There's a latter, you go up first"
He does so and in the middle of doing it he stops.
Finally I have found my….
I had heard it too but decided not to say anything because it was probably my imagination.
"But, where?"
"What's wrong Lelouch?"
"Nothing don't worry, Come on there's a hole"
We both reach the top when the truck all of a sudden accelerates and we fall into the hole.
"ANYA!"
Lelouch falls flat on his face as I stick the landing.
"Like I said, you need me"
I give him a hand and he stands up.
"I guess your right, but I rather get hurt then let anything happen to you"
"Stop the vehicle"
"Huh, the military?"
"Yeah"
"We better stay in the dark and stay hidden"
"Right"
"Guess I'm late" A young man with brown hair and blue eyes as looking at the truck that had gotten away. "Then I'll just have to follow it" He started running to where the truck was heading. Like I promised 7 years ago……
Hope this chapter didn't make you guys think this was a Mary-sue, 'cause it won't be I promise. The next chapter will most likely be Suzaku's POV. I know this chapter was a bit confusing, but what they where doing to Anya and the other children was basically what they did to Jeremiah with the artificial geass or the irregulars in Nightmare of Nunnally. Anyways more will be explained later on.
Sorry but the next chapter isn't done yet, but it will be soon.
Please review, I need critics.
