Al groaned and sat up in bed, his head was killing him and he wasn't sure why. He looked around and saw a huge dent in the wall, then he remembered what happened the night before. Al looked over to Violet, who was sleeping peacefully next to him. Ever so softly he moved her hair away from her forehead, nothing, no bruises, not even a scratch. Al smiled and climbed out of bed, he began to walk out, until he heard quiet mumbling from the room. " N...No... No... No please no. Stop it. Please! H-Help! Help me! Oh god help me!" Violet cried, tossing and turning in bed. " No! No! NO!" she shrieked, before suddenly and rapidly sitting up. She began panting heavily and gripping the bed sheets. " Violet are you okay?" Al asked, turning and facing her in concern. " Al... Al..." Violet whimpered, she stood up and ran to him with tears in her eyes. " Al! Don't leave me! Please don't leave me!" she begged, gripping onto his t-shirt.
" Violet! C-Calm down! I'm not going anywhere." he pulled her closer and sat down on the bed with her in his arms. " What's wrong doll? Are you okay?" Al asked. " I had a bad dream... I'll be fine, just... got a little scared." she inhaled deeply and looked at him nervously. " I hope I didn't bother you or anything." she mumbled. Al smirked and stood up, pulling her up with him. " No! Not at all. Come on. We need to get some food in you." he spun her around and listened to her laughter as she stumbled backward. " You asshole!" Violet smiled and grabbed his hand, he had to admit, she did look really cute in his t-shirt, it was big on her, but not too big. Al heard a knock at the door, and Ivy opened it slowly. " Okay what the hell is going on in here?" Ivy asked. Violet smiled and ran over to her happily. " Oh nothing~" she laughed and spun around to look at Al. " Come on! I've got an idea!"
Within a few minutes Nyx was chasing Violet down the hall way, shouting various curses that Al had never even heard. " You little bitch!" Violet laughed and ran behind Al. " Protect me Al!" she giggled as Nyx stopped dead in front of Al and held out his hand. " Come on hand over the girl!" " What did she do?!" Violet chuckled and tapped his shoulder softly. " I may have jumped on his stomach and woke him up." Al laughed and stepped aside playfully. " I don't think there's anything I can do for you in that case." Violet screamed and ran into their bedroom, just slamming the door in time to stop Nyx from entering. " Why you little bitch!" he pounded on the door angrily. " Oh my god! Will you idiots shut the hell up?!" Cain shouted from his room, he walked out the door angrily and glared at Nyx. " Can you hold off on attempted murder for a few more hours!" he rolled his eyes and retreated back into his room, while Nyx was distracted Violet poked her head out the door and giggled. " You got in trouble." she teased. Nyx looked over to her and moved to open the door, but yet again she manage to get it closed just in time.
" Nyx you're such a spaz." Ivy mumbled quietly, while holding Peter on her lap and bouncing him softly on her knee. " Don't have you have supplies to get or something?" she looked expectantly over to Al. " You too?" Al groaned and leaned back against the wall. " I don't want too~ and either way there's no way I'm going with just Nyx." Nyx looked over to him and growled angrily, causing Al to laugh loudly. " SHUT UP! DAMN!" Cain yelled. The three looked over to the door to his room and waited in silence for a moment before quietly making their way into the kitchen. " Maybe I can get Gil to go with you guys. I mean-" " No. He's the father of your child, I'm sure he's more needed around here at this point. I'll go with Nyx and get what we need." Al smirked and grabbed his bat, slinging it over his shoulder and moving toward the door. " Coming?" he asked. Nyx nodded and grabbed his rifle off the table before following him out the door, but right as the door closed Al turned back and looked over to Ivy. " Do me a favor and let Violet know that I'll be back in a bit." Ivy smiled and nodded. He grinned and closed the door, just as Violet ran out from the hallway and laughed. " Haha! I win!" she sat down next to Ivy, who was still holding the baby. " So you and Al huh?" Ivy teased, nudging her playfully in the arm. Violet blushed and looked away nervously. " I'm honestly not quite sure about Al and I... he really likes me... and I like him... but Vash only died a few weeks ago, and it's still too soon. I mean, I feel like I'm... I don't know... I guess it sort of feels like I'm cheating on him or something, even though he's gone."
Ivy nodded and set the baby on her lap, then crossed her arms. " Yeah, that makes sense. I understand. Hey... you know... you should do something for him. Something nice you know?" Ivy suggested. Violet sighed and leaned back in the doorway with her arms loosely crossed over her chest. She stared straight ahead at the wall and shrugged. " What exactly would I do? I mean I barely even know him or what kind of weird shit he's into. And-" " Al's kind of a violent guy." Violet jumped a little as Hunter pushed his way past her and chuckled at her reaction. He sat down on one of the counter tops and sighed. " He's not exactly what you would call a hero. If anything he's more of a villain. The only reason I trust him is because he owes me, so he wouldn't do anything to piss me off. But as for you three... or well... four I guess... I don't know why he's kept you around for so long." he explained, taking a bottle of water from one of the cabinets behind him.
" Well... he doesn't seem like a bad guy... I mean-" " Is that what you think? Even after he nearly bashed your head in?" Ivy looked back and forth between the two of them, eventually her gaze landed on Violet. " What is he talking about?" she asked. Violet suddenly stood up and glared at Hunter, who immediately began smirking, and even laughing a little. " How would you know?!" Violet shouted angrily. " I kind of assumed. I mean considering that there's a huge hole in the wall of your room." Ivy gently set the baby down on the counter and stood up. " And you just chose not to tell me about this! Violet what the actual hell?!" Violet stared at Ivy for a few moments then backed up slowly, maybe Al wasn't as good a guy as she thought. Her eyes widened and she ran into the room, immediately she began going through drawers and gasped at the things she found. Knives, guns, even actual swords in his drawers, not to mention the huge bat... but that he's took with him. " Oh my god..." she brushed her bangs back with one hand and stumbled backwards into the wall. " I can't believe it..." Violet turned around to look at Ivy and Hunter, who were standing in the doorway, Ivy giving her a look of sympathy, while Hunter's face was stone cold.
" I... I don't know what to say..." " I wouldn't expect you to. Just wait, the last time he told a girl he loved her, he got his way with her, and left her in the hotel, never saw her again. You'll be no different." He walked off, leaving Violet and Ivy standing there in shock. Ivy looked over to Violet and sighed. " Violet... maybe we should-" " No... No I won't believe it. Al is a good guy! I know he is! Just watch you'll see! All of you!" Violet shouted. Ivy nodded and smiled a little bit. " Just know your brother and I are here for you if you ever need us. I'm gonna go... I'll see you in a little bit okay?" Ivy smiled sympathetically before closing the door. Violet simply stood there, staring at the many weapons she'd found. Ever so slowly she made her way to the drawer and grabbed one of the knives. She felt the smooth blade and ran it in between her fingertips, she could see her own reflection, as the light that shined off it moved across her face. She gripped it harder, then threw it across the room, and watched the blade sink into the wall. Violet stared at it for a few moments, then clenched her fists and looked away sadly.
No... their wrong... I won't be like that... not again... they'll see...
She slowly rose her head and looked at the drawers full of deadly weapons. She slowly picked up one of the guns and held it in her hands, as a small smile made it's way onto her face.
Vash used to have one just like this one.
Slowly she rose the gun and aimed it at the handle of the knife, she looked straight down the barrel of the gun and smirked.
BANG
Perfect hit.
