Prologue of Illusion or Reality

It had been three years after Endless Waltz. Everything went back to normal, except that Duo, Heero, Quatre, Wufei and Dorothy worked for the Preventers. Trowa went back working to the circus. Relenia Peacecraft who used to be the Queen was now the Vice-Foreign Minister of Colonies and Earth. They kept in touch in case anything important happens. Milliardo came back a year after the war with Noin and worked as Relena's assistance ever since. One day, Milliardo suggested that Relena should be taking a vacation because she was under too much pressure. At first, Relena didn't know where to go. After a few suggestions from her friends, she decided that she was going to Canada. All the pilots and all the girls (except Catherine who needed to run the circus, Dorothy, Noin and Milliardo who needed to take care of the Preventers while everyone are gone) decided to go too, since they all wanted to take a break.

Illusion or Reality-Chapter one

Into the Unknown

In a bus, on a mountain highway somewhere in Canada

"Hey why aren't we there yet Maxwell!" Wufei barked.

"According to my calculation, we should arrive at Ruby Beach in approximately ten minutes." Duo said studying the map muttering, "talk about acting like an 'onna'."

"There's something wrong, I can feel it¡K" Hilde whispered to Sally, who was sitting next to her. "Duo is too 'perfect', it's not like him at all." Sally after hearing all this, burst out laughing.

Heero, without a word, ripped the map out of Duo's hand. When Duo opened his mouth and was about to protest Heero gave him a death-glare telling Duo to shut up.

"Duo, you got the map upside-down," Heero said calmly, "Also this map is USA not Canada's."

Trowa who was driving, stopped the bus on the side of the road and asked, "where are we now?"

Everyone shook their head in disgust, why did they bother to let Duo take on an important task. Silence fell. Finally Hilde can't take it anymore. She got up from her seat and headed toward Duo. She smacked him hard on the head.

"What are you doing?!" Duo exclaimed, holding his head in pain.

"I think that's what everyone wanted me to do." Hilde looked at Duo. "Why did I fell in love with a yard-long braided baka. Who doesn't even know when to use his brain."

"It's getting dark. I think that we all needed a place to stay and rest. Also the fuel is about to run out. Right now I am not interested in watching you two killing each other alright. So be quiet" Relena said.

"Let's go to Cloverville, it's the closest place from our location." Quatre said as he pointed at the road sign that said ¡¥Cloverville, 5km¡¦.

"Let's go." Sally said, "let¡¦s get this over with."

As they drove, they had no idea what is waiting for them, waiting to kill them¡K.

*************************************

"Duo! Turn down the music!!" Wufei roared at Duo, who was sitting in the front seat at this moment. "Stop singing like a girl!! You really are an onna!"

Duo, who was totally concentrated on singing, ignored Wufei's comment and turned the music even louder than before. However, Heero who is always the ¡¥hero¡¦ came to the rescue. He turned off the music.

"Duo, sit at the back alright? I don't want to kill you right now."

Duo got up and flung his braid into Heero's face. "Duo!" Heero barked, "I can't see!"

Duo, who was enjoying the expression shown on Herro's face, burst out laughing. He changed his expression from smiling like an idiot to horror.

A little blond hair girl who was holding a headless doll in one hand walked out.

"Watch out!!" Duo yelled.

*************************************

What happened? Relena blinked and remembered the accident. Heero steered the wheel to the left and crashed into the mountain. What would a little girl be doing on the road at this time? she wondered. "Hey, are you guys alright?" Relena asked as she turned around, expecting to see her friends. What the! Stay calm...stay calm Relena thought she looked on the empty seats behind her. The bus was empty except a trail of blood, starting from the bus¡¦s door; it goes onto the road leading to some place that Relena don¡¦t even want to know.

************************************

"Are you guys alright?" Quatre asked as he climbed out of the bus and dusted the dirt off his shirt.

"Maxwell! Look at the mess you made!" Wufei yelled.

"It wasn't my fault! Heero was the one who was driving!" Duo protested.

Sally asked, "Where's Relena?" as she looked around.

She's gone.

****************************************

Where are they? Relena thought as she walked along the road. She know that they will never leave her behind. Something is definitely wrong, as she kept looking on the ground. No doubt she was following the trail of blood, it was the only chose she had since her friends ¡¥disappeared¡¨. Maybe they're playing a joke on me¡KOuch! She was lost in her thought as her right shoulder slammed into something. She rubbed her shoulder and looked up. She saw the sign 'Cloverville'.

*****************************************

"Maybe she went to find backup." Quatre suggested.

Wufei shook his heard, "she's not the kind of person that would go find help herself, she's not brave enough. She's weak like every one of you!"

"But we were unconscious the whole time." Sally pointed out, ignoring Wufei's comment. I am gonna get him for this she promised silently.

"Only one way to find out." Duo said.

******************************************

Relena stood in front of the City Hall. I don't think anyone would be in there, it looked as if it going to collapse any moment. Where is everybody!! She thought in frustration. She had been to every place she could think of. The police station, which was totally dark; so dark that you won't even be able to see your fingers and so quiet that you can even hear your own heartbeat. Library, on the other hand was covered with dust and spider web. It was so dirty that you would never even think of going in. Other building looked so fragile that looked as if you place a feather on it, it will collapse. Definitely don't wanna be in there when that happens¡K

BOOM

Then the ground began to shook. What was that? Relena thought as she began to panic. The ground shook more violently as the sound of footsteps grew louder. All of a sudden, someone or thing covered Relena's mouth and pulled her into a manhole beside her, into the darkness.

All she heard was someone whispering, "stay quiet, if you want to survive.". At that time, the ground vibrated so hard that both, Relena and the stranger lost balance and fell onto the muddy ground beneath them.

"Shit, I didn't get the chance to slide the lid back to place¡K" the stranger whispered.
