The Dark Tavern

""N. . .No, you aren't the same person now that you were then." Tela said not believing it her own self. Part of her wanted to strike Vash down where he stood but she still loved him.

It was true. After the war, Vash swore an oath not to kill a single person. And has a scar to remind him of it. After that he moved to Egypt, and lived there for 45 years, after that leaving to be an adventurer. "...But the same hands and the same sword killed the people!" he said.

Tela shook her head. "I will not kill you. I can't." she said feeling as though she betrayed Haldir. She felt weak and sick.

Vash began to run... Not stopping...

Yue sighed and ran after Vash. He knew Tela couldn't take the run. She would pass out soon from exhaustion.

Vash tripped and fell. Face-to-the-mud(Hey, Who knows how to say this thing right?)

Yue winced as Vash landed face first. He landed beside the guy and sighed. "Where are you going?"

"Running from my past..."

"What past, you mean running from Tela?" Yue asked. "You can't."

"Yue! You dont understand... HOw would I live with Tela, when I killed her Fiance????""

"You can't just leave her; she's dying and you know it." Yue said.

"she may not be able to kill you vash but i can" jak said stabbing vashes back pinning him to the ground "i just went to get my sword" jak said crounching down beside vash

"NO." Yue said pulling the sword out. "You fool" he tried to stop Vash's bleeding.

Tela ran up completely out of breath. "W. . .What happened?" she asked seeing Vash bleed.

"I think someone just stabbed a hole in my splin" muttered Vash coughing.

"No, oh valar no." Tela said dropping to her knees beside Vash. "Please, you can not die on me."

"Give Jak a good stab will ya?" said Vash trying not to show how hurt he was.

"If you don't leave me, I will do anything you ask. Please, I can not loose another love." Tela said her forehead to his as tears streamed down his face.

Vash coughed some before asking, "So what was that Anuylen secret?"

Tela felt like crying. "It is the gem. A gem so powerful an entire race thrives off it. It was hidden so our evil king could never use it against us." she whispered still in tears.

"Oh comeone Tela, Ive had worst wounds then these" muttered Vash.
