The Dark Tavern

Tela closed her eyes and listened to his music. It was so much different from hers.

Vash kept on playing. He never knew his parents. He was an orphan, brough to the Stronghold of INka, at nights, his steparents used to teach him how to play a guitar or a banjo. Thought they were murdered at an assault.

Tela soon was drifting off which meant her eyes were open again.

Vash put the guitar next to himself and then tried to fall asleep.

Yue didn't sleep. he didn't need to. He watched as Tela's breathing even out.

Vash still looked at the star. Lost in thoughts.

Tela had began playing her flute softly. It was sad and addicting.

Vash thought about how much of a b@stard is Bush. How could he have let all these volcanoes just go around the place erupting?

Sakura had fallen asleep by now. As a known fact, elves didn't sleep. But she was part elf. She could sleep, but it was usually a bit restless sleeping. By now she had sat up, rolled arund, stood and walked a foot away then lied back down...all in her sleep. It was rather amusing really.

Tela was standing now as she played the children danced around her. Her music had changed since one had asked her to play for them. He had obvious been fascinated that she was an elf.

Vash suddenly stode straight up. "Is that the sound off." said Vash. He stode up and looked down the hill on the other side. There was a line of royal soldiers, they held up a flag of their kingdom. "THe nearest kingdom from here... THeir kinda late... Sakura,...You better hide" said Vash.

Tela stopped. She looked at the children. She quickly found a place for them to hide.

Vash tilted his hat down, so nobody could see his face. When Sakura hid, the horses came up to the crowd. The warriors talked to each other a little and then said. "Seems you have the situation under control! We will be leaving as soon as you tell us, if you have seen this lady?" said a warrior on the front as he took out a scroll, he openned it, there was a portrait of Sakura. The crowd didn't say anything, Vash had ordered them not too. "Who had secured all of you?" asked the warrior. The crowd pointed at Vash and Tela. The warrior on the front came up to Vash. "And who is this..." he said as he snatched off Vash's hat. "Vash Shafran... What a coincidence... We've been hunting him for years..." said the warrior.

Sakura hid quitly, watching anxiuosly. They held up a portrait of her from when she was about 10...then she watched as they snatched off Vash's hat. She couldn't let them hurt him...but she also couldn't let them take her back to the castle. What to do, what to do.

Tela was quiet. She knew they probably had never seen her. Heard about her sure as hell did, but never seen her. . .or at least that's what she thought.

"The ""Legendary"" patriot is it? The one who started an army of villagers to trample a meeting of Kings???? " asked one Soldier. "Yeah" answered the warrior who was near Vash. Vash groaned. "Great..." he muttered.

Sakura had to cover her hands to surpress a giggle. Vash had done that!? She was surprised, but knew to keep quiet or else they would catch her; she was only a few yards from the soldeirs, who still eyes through the crowds for her.

"...Your coming with us!" said the Warrior.

Before the guards knew what happened, the one beside vash fell to the ground an arrow through his neck. When they looked at Tela, she wasn't holding her bow, so it looked unsuspicious.

"ARGH!! DID YOU SEE HOW FAST THAT GUY WAS!" said one Guard. "What!?!?!? I didn't even freaken do anything!" said Vash before being chained. Vash knew it was useless to fight, there were about fifty well armed warriors, There is Vash and Tela, imposibble...
