Millennium-Betrayal

Chapter 9 (Random)

She tossed and turn, unable to sleep, yet another restless night. This has been going on for a while now,she dare not to take those pills, scared that she might not wake up and see the day light.

Miranda felt the mattress moved, she wasn't deep in slumber yet. Slowly, she opened her eyes to take a peek. She can't seem to remember when did Emily taken a full solid 8 hours of sleep.

Yes, the girls shared the same room and the same bed after having their big yet awkward bounding. It seems, Miranda has the duty to take care of the human now. There she is sleeping beside her. Emily had her back facing her, cuddling her stuffed teddy bear tightly pretending that she's sound asleep.

In the morning, Emily was usually the one who got up first, having to make her side of bed and begin her daily routine. She claims that she had enough rest even just for only 2 hours. The dark bags under her eyes seemed permanent. Oddly, sometimes she was found resting her head on the desk with her glasses taken off.

Breakfast has become her most  favorite meal of the day because it is her only meal of the day. she refuses to eat lunch and dinner. With a rich breakfast, the only fuel she will need to get through the entire day.

She has spend less and less time with Major but more and more time on her design.

Finally, she has succeeded in designing her next outfit, and it is on 'Millennium Monthly' as well. Avondale claims that the outfit shows to much skin and awfully in the wrong colour. And his comment leaded him to have a private 'talk' with the Major. Serve him right, he has no place to talk about it with that odd fashion taste of his.

Emily has the other set of dress specially made for Rip. And as for a reward, Rip let her use her musket and have fun with it. It is hilariously big for Emily to hold, but she can manage. Schrödinger has to regenerate three times because of Emily's perfect shooting skills. Rip can't help but chuckle, petting her long black and brownish hair, the huntress is proud of her. Emily returned her gestured with a small tiny smile, and her one visible eye lighted up with joy.

And when she got back to her room by the end of the day, Miranda was waiting for her. She too was finished with her daily training and is now here with a tray of food on the table, not for her to devour but for Emily.

Emily shook her head, with a small smile, she deny. "I told you, I don't feel like eating."

"Well, you look thin. And not the good kind of thin." Miranda replied having to leaned back comfortably in her seat. "Dok said you're underweight, you worried me so damn much."

Really now? Emily blinked a few times, finally sighing in defeat and taken a seat across the commander. "Alright, just for tonight. How's the training?"

"Everything is ... peachy." Miranda replied .

"Oh? You mean seeing your oh so lovely Zorin~?" Emily teased, slowly lifting the fork up and began eating. Tonight's dinner was Rip's specialty. Noodles with fish balls soup, some type of Asian food.

Miranda looked over to Emily raising a brow giving her the 'are you kidding me' look. Then she noticed how Emily always keep her left arm under the table. "She's my - um trainer that's all."

Emily shook her head slowly, she is not listening to such excuse of a lie. "Pfft, oh I seen how you look at her."

"And I seen how you look at Rip. "

"Touché."

And finally night comes again, and it was time for them to head to bed and call it a night. Staring up at the ceiling while holding on her teddy bear, she can't seem to sleep. Turning her head slowly to see Miranda was already sound asleep. She did not dared to wake the peaceful looking commander.

Slowly, she got up having to grab her stuffed bear with her too. And out in the balcony, a perfect view of the night sky woth stars shinning spread across in the sky like a  big painting. The moon was round like a cookie, shining above her head. She saw Rip,in her precious little garden. She can't help but wondered, what's is like to be a true vampire who chose the path of walking in the dark. Having to drink only blood instead of colourful human food. And being able to be more powerful and useful...

"Dokter, operation 'turn ze two humans' will be launch right away." A voice commanded, his smile ever so twist and evil,papers and plans spread across the table and the mable floor. "Zhey are ready."

Yes, they are bake.
