(Knives)
The sky blazed with the fire of sunset as the suns made their decent into the horizon. The colors of the coming night danced across the cool white sands of the desert as gentle winds brushed the sands across the landscape.
We had finally reached the surface of Gunsmoke.
I carefully guided the alien ship into a tight crevasse hidden among the jagged cliffs outside a small human settlement, making a quick check of the instruments to assure myself that no lights were visible emanating from the craft.
The settlement itself was far from just about every other city and town. About 1000 iles far. It contained only one Plant, of which I had no inclination how a single Plant had ended up in the middle of the desert a thousand iles from the nearest crashed SEEDs vessel.
However this had occurred I hoped that this would be a good hiding place to begin. It was an entire planet away from Vash; he would be unable to sense me, nor any of the powers I might use. This would be vital to the execution of a new plan.
I shut down the systems of the ship and sat in the quiet of the ship, the only sound was that of the breathing of the unconscious woman in the back.
I listened to her breathing... it was labored and harsh. I slid out of the seat and knelt down next to her side. She didn't look good.
I gently brushed my fingers through her silky blue hair.
Would she despise me? Hate me? If that happened... it would make me...
No... I shouldn't let thoughts like that effect me. It will only weaken me.
But... This time, whatever the case, I would make sure that we--I-- would succeed.
Even if I have to take over her mind...
I looked down at her bloodied face, and wiped away some of the blood on her cheek. She stirred in her sleep. Like she was having a nightmare and couldn't escape the horror it was giving her.
Then... Could you really do that to her?
Standing, refusing to even think about the question, I stepped out into the cool night air, locked the hatch, and the woman in, behind me and walked towards the little town.
Could you...?Yay! New story!
I hope I can do good on this story! i hope everyone enjoys it.
