エイリアンガールを殺す
XXVII: Kill the Alien Girl
Sheele was terrified of facing her boss. Najenda gave her food and a place to stay as well as a purpose. Standing up to her was no easy feat. She didn't want violence to be her answer. In fact, it was never the answer. She wanted to set things straight with her of her mistake of striking the young man.
Since getting to know the young hero, Sheele had been very close to him. She knew almost a quarter of his life and knew right then and there that he didn't belong anywhere in this world. He was an outlier. An outcast. So to her, striking the boy was unwise. Ben had more power on his watch than anybody could ever possess.
Sheele stood in front of the door. Her heart raced, her hand froze on the knob, slowly turning it as the door slid open revealing Najenda trying to relax as she smoked her cigarette.
Najenda sighed, "If this is about..."
"Ben is not our enemy," Sheele spoke closing the door, "He didn't know."
"Well, then there's a thing called asking people before..."
"He's in a war he didn't sign up to," Sheele said, "He's fighting for a cause that he didn't..."
"Neither one of us signed up for it," Najenda said getting up, "I didn't. Ben is..."
"...too powerful to control? To predict? Maybe that's a good thing," Sheele spoke, "He saved our lives, my life numerous times. I get why Night Raid is afraid of him. But he is not our enemy."
"Sheele..."
"If he were the enemy? Why hasn't he killed all of us? God knows he would have if he tried. He has transformations that can counteract Akame's sword, transformations that could counteract Leone's, Lubbock's, Mine's, Tatsumi's, me, and even you. If he wanted to, he would have."
"He could be a spy," Najenda argued.
"Just admit it, you're scared. And that's okay. We all are," Najenda, having enough, thus from being incredibly stressed got up and was about to strike Sheele until she paused. She stopped and collapsed back in her chair.
"You're right," she said, "I've lost my mind because I couldn't shake the feeling of one person having the powers of God. I just couldn't. I thought a power like that could only exist in the Empire and yet I lost all reasoning," she continued looking at a now relaxed Sheele, "I think I should apologize to him. I owe him that much for saving us," she concluded, "Oh and Sheele, if you do anything that stupid again..."
"I must do what I must to protect my teammates," she said, "You and everyone else should know that."
Najenda smiled, "We may not be heroes to the eyes of today, but history will say otherwise. Like it always do," she said, "Sheele, I have a new task for you for protecting him..."
After a brief moment, Sheele got out of the Conference Room with Mine standing right there behind her.
"How'd it go?" Mine asked.
"Pretty well," Sheele smiled, "Do you know when he'd come back?"
Mine shrugged.
"Hey did I miss the beat down?" Leone asked from out of nowhere, "I heard that the boss had beaten Ben..."
"Leone?"
Leone turned to Sheele, "Hm?"
"Why do you hate Ben?" she asked.
"Hate him? I don't hate him! I don't like him as much because he can be an egotistical douche, but I don't hate him why?" she asked.
"I'm just asking," Sheele said walking pass the group straight to Ben's room.
"What did Ben do to get her?" Leone asked.
In Ben's Room, Sheele plopped onto Ben's bed and pondered, her mind warped as she continued to think about the decisions she made that night whilst following Ben to stop him from getting killed by the hands of Esdeath. She knew good and well that Esdeath was a force to be reckoned with, but Ben, if he wanted to, could have killed her. Why did she stop him? She could have egged him on. But looking at the scope of the power he wielded wouldn't meet in the same moderate criteria she and her friends had.
To Ben, an execution was something he would do as a last resort if all things considered had failed. It was the last thing he had ever wanted to do. He always stayed in the grey area, never even trying to stray away from his line. Trying his best to never cross that line. Sheele, unlike the others in this group, understood the unintended consequences and to some extent, she felt that Ben understood this too. He knew how powerful his watch was, and just by seeing him fight was enough to understand why he didn't go all out on his enemies.
Sheele genuinely began to worry for the man. She always felt threatened whenever Ben is out without her protection. She curled on his bed, laying her side thinking.
...
Remembering that moment Najenda, finally realizing her faults, draped her hands on Sheele's shoulders reassuring her that what she was about to hear was something serious, but yet something rewarding at the same time. She had been hearing a few stories that Sheele would often block people from getting anywhere near Ben. Even go as far as using physical violence as necessary.
"I want you to protect Ben at all cost, okay? He's valuable to us. You think you can do that?"
...
Sheele sat up and faced the window facing on the opposite side of the room. Facing the window, she looked at the outside world where the east wind blew on her purple locks, looking at the mountains yonder worrying about the Boy in Green. It was at that moment, Sheele began to feel something she had never felt before. Her heart had felt warm for awhile but yet she never truly understood it.
It was love.
Though she was afraid to admit it, she knew that she was in love with the man to which sadly could lead into dangerous, unintended consequences. She felt compelled to protect him no matter what, even before Najenda mentioned it.
Sheele had fallen in love with Ben Tennyson.
"Ben, please...please be safe out there," she said, "Please."
...
Emerging from a hot coral hue rose a young woman in her mid-teens wearing a white shirt under a red sweater, black stockings under a black mini skirt, and black high heels. She had long red hair wore in a ponytail and had emerald green eyes. Gwen Tennyson stood up from a near river bank. Slowly gaining her sight from that travel she took to search for her dear cousin, she discovered what looked like an open forest of some kind. She tried to recover her dizziness.
"This must be the place," she said developing a small headache, "He has to be around here somewhere."
Suddenly...
BOOM!
Gwen turned around to see two armored silhouettes fighting at the wall of the cliff, "And just what I need...conflict."
"YOU'RE NIGHT RAID TRASH!" she heard.
"And I'm guessing the guy dressing in black is the bad guy and the guy dressed in all white is the good guy. Yep, it's one of those days I believe," she said powering up, "Looks like if I'm gonna get answers on where my cousin is, I may need to resort to this."
...
Tatsumi, now in Incursio's armor, was getting angry over Wade's comments about Night Raid, "Yeah it may be true that we're assassins, but I am not - we are not, WE ARE NOT THE..." Suddenly, Tatsumi paused. Grand Chariot was in the state confusion when he saw Incursio's eyes beginning to glow pink. When it flickered and faded away. Both men turned to the young woman who performed such a trick. She walked towards the men, "If you are with Night Raid, so help me..."
The woman smashed his head up against the wall with her magical powers knocking him out.
Incursio got on guard until the woman reassure him that she meant no harm, "It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you."
"Who are you and what do you want?" Tatsumi asked rapidly as his armor faded away in smoke.
"I'm Gwen and I am looking for Ben - we're cousins," said Gwen in a soft tone in her voice.
Tatsumi's eyes widened, "COUSINS?"
