Cursed

Memories of the Past

A few hours later you were sitting in the experiment room once again this time though Conrad and Knives were both focused on you rather than the computer. "Earlier, she managed to get one of the plants to open, Knives you don't think..?"

"No, she's not a plant. I am 100% certain. Though it is unusual." Knives voices trailing off and looked away. "You have the ability to speak to them, and yet your DNA shows nothing but human genes." He spoke looking at you.

He took notice of your appearance, you looked..so familiar and it disgusted him. While you were asleep you dreamed of something rather odd...but familiar.

You were an orphan, as far as you knew you lived with different families throughout your childhood. From here to there, from July to Octovern, Augusta and May City. Each time you were given away and after a while it eventually placed you in an orphan home in December called Hopeland.

You were about 9 at the time, still so lost and curious but you weren't quiet. In fact you were open to adventure and the ladies of the home didn't know how to handle you. One night you woke up and had to pee really bad, so you wandered off and looked for the restrooms.

A figure caught your eye and you hid. "I know you're there.." he sighed glancing over where you were.

It was a boy, no older than you. "You're not very quiet." He mumbled going over to you. Getting closer you could see his features, black hair, black eyes, and he had a very annoyed look on his face.

"Sorry..I was looking for the bathroom." He hummed and motioned for you to follow him. Both of you walked down a long hallway, the windows of the building illuminating your path. Finally you spoke. "So..how long have you been here?"

He simply shrugged and continued walking.

Taking that as a sign to shut up you did and just kept walking. Eventually you reached the bathroom and you quickly ran in, after doing what you needed, you walked back out but he was gone. You glanced around hoping maybe he was just leaning against the wall but after a bit you just sighed and looked toward the window.

"How weird..." you sighed, stretching out and then looking around and realizing..you were lost again—

When you woke up a massive headache overtook you. Letting out a couple curse words you sighed and sat up. There was a bandage around your arm, and beside you was a plate of food.

Bringing the food over to you, you breathed in the smell and thankfully it seemed safe to eat. Unlike that poor rat that hadn't met a good end a few days ago. You took a bite out of the soup and a warm feeling overcame you, it was heavenly.

The door slid open and in walked Knives, he didn't say much other than a nod of acknowledgement. "You're awake. Good." He said, grabbing a book and then walking over to a chair on the other side of the room.

"Can I help you?" You said, mouth still slightly full. "Chew with your mouth full, that's disgusting." He said before turning and sitting down. You covered your mouth and finished swallowing before placing the tray onto the table.

You finally looked at him fully processed his appearance. He had never really shown himself completely to you, but today he seemed to be in a good mood.

He had blonde hair and a really attractive shade of blue for eyes. You felt ashamed for saying this but he was actually really hot—

"I still don't understand how...you can just speak to the plants as if you were one of us.." he mumbled shutting his book and looking up at you. His eyes taking you in and curiously studying everything there was to know.

You just continued eating while listening to him, once again feeling subconscious about how he looked at you. He had been at this for the last few days.

He questioned your odd ability despite even after all the tests he had conducted. "Maybe I'm just special" you mumbled looking away and looking down at your arm.

It was still sore but you didn't really mind. He let out a scoff and you could hear him stand up walking over to you and lightly touching your face, forcing you to look at him he had an unreadable expression.

"You are a human. There is nothing special about you."

Ouch.

After a moment he let you go and he turned over to the door, not sparing another second he left the room and left you alone.

In another area of this land, Vash felt worried. He had never meant for you to be taken and even less by his brother. He didn't know what Knives would be capable of, especially if he remembered who you were.

He could feel it. The day he met you again. Those eyes were still as beautiful as before, the eyes of a simple human who captured his heart.

He would never admit it but he always adored looking at you, even then. Even before all of life went to shit, his heart beat...for you.

He had made it his duty to protect humanity and that included you. If he couldn't protect you then what was his purpose? You were all he had left, and he didn't want to frighten you. He knew of your past but if you weren't aware of that yourself...about a life you lead before your accident, how scared would you be of a man who used to worship the ground you walked on?

But he needed you back by his side. Vash knew it was wrong, but if he had too...he would kill his own brother for the safety of you and the people of this planet.

(I'm tired of saying "you" so I gonna write in 1 and 3 person now, deal with me)

I didn't really notice how long it was starting to be. The amount of time it had been since I first woke up in the strange place where I had met Knives.

I could lie and say I didn't mind being here, I was fed, bathed, I was allowed to wander around about and only the daily was experimented on. In truth, it wasn't all that bad. But I missed the warmth of the sun, and messing around with Meryl and bullying Wolfwood.

I missed Vash, all those small talks we had, enjoying the view of the stars above us. While it was a short time I had been with them, they felt like home

And

I missed home.
