The music filled the night air with its melancholy sound. For the past few nights Cassie had heard it, but when she asked around for the mysterious flutist, people looked at her strangely. Apparently she was the only one who could here the bittersweet melody. Tonight Cassie sat at her window listening to the music when it was abruptly cut off.
"That wasn't the end of the song!" Cassie exclaimed crossly.
When the music did not start up again, an irritable Cassie dressed herself in a set of silk pajamas and was ready to crawl into bed when a movement outside her window caught her attention. Cautiously she moved over to the window and looked through out into the dark night. There did not seem to be anything out of place, so she returned to bed.
Outside a silver flute flashed in the moon's light as its elfish owner dashed through the shadows. There was only one place he knew where he'd be safe. That would be with the one he'd been calling with his flute. That one person would be his savior. Suddenly he tripped over his own two feet as he looked back over his shoulder. The flute went spiraling out of his hand and made a whining noise, almost like it was dying without its master's touch.
"I got you, you little brat. Give back my silver flute." Said another elf-like creature.
"But it's my turn!" wailed the creature on the ground.
"Who said that we took turns? The Grand Master gave that flute to me! You stole it from my chest and ran off with it."
"Because you won't play it for me and my friends."
"Well Duo, I would if you asked me nicely and when I wasn't busy."
"You know Trowa, you are really boring."
The creature that had attacked walked over to the lonely, whining flute. As soon as he touched it, the most beautiful music filled Cassie's ears. Her eyes snapped open when she heard it because the music was so loud. Something was calling her to the window. Just to amuse herself, Cassie got up and looked through the window. The air in her lungs seemed to freeze and she could not breathe.
A boy about her age lay on the ground with a long braid coiled near his head. But what took her breath away was the tall boy in the moonlight. The music seemed to focus on him. She threw open the window, "You! You are the one that I keep hearing!"
Both boys looked up at her, the tall one stopping in mid note. Their eyes went as wide as saucers before they both turned and dashed away as quickly as they could.
"No wait!" Cassie yelled after them.
Without another thought, she ran out of her apartment to the street. She took off down the street after them, heedless of the biting cold temperature.
Cassie could hardly keep the shadows of the two creatures in sight, let alone watch where she was going. When she had completely lost the two creatures, she fell to the ground exhausted. The cold was finally penetrating her thin pajamas and her bare feet were raw from running on rough pavement. Trowa and Duo were peering over the top of a building, watching her wander about aimlessly.
"I think we lost her." Duo whispered. Trowa glared at Duo a moment before looking back down.
"Do you think that she will be okay? It's getting colder." Trowa said watching Cassie. He felt Duo's attitude change suddenly and looked at his friend's shocked face. "What?"
"Are you feeling okay? It's a human. If she finds us, you now what will happen." Duo said, "Besides, I thought you and Heero would be the last elves alive to ever concern ourselves with humans."
It was true. Trowa and another named Heero were considered the last elves to ever care for a human's well being. They were both proud warriors seasoned with numerous battles against many creatures. Their king had even knighted them. Duo had a right to worry.
"No worries Duo. The world will most likely end before a human and I get together on anything." Trowa flashed his comrade a grin before they disappeared.
Cassie sat shivering on the ground when her supervisor from work walked up. He was a tall man with light brown hair and expressive eyes. He was impeccably dressed as usual and at the moment single.
"Cassie! What are you doing out here in the cold?" he looked at Cassie again, "And in your pajamas?"
Cassie looked up startled, "Oh! Good evening Treize." She thought for a second, "I was going out for a walk."
"You went for a walk in your pajamas and barefoot in the middle of April?" Treize questioned.
"I…need to get going now Treize." Cassie said standing; "I'll see you at work tomorrow."
"I'll walk with you," Treize began, "Or better yet, I'll give you a ride home seeing as I am on my way to meet with Zechs."
"That's alright, I know my way home and don't need you to miss your appointment." Cassie smiled wryly and started walking in the direction she hoped her apartment was in.
Treize grabbed her shoulder to stop her; Cassie froze. "Here take my jacket at least, you can return it to me tomorrow morning." Treize placed his jacket around Cassie's shoulders.
"Thanks! Well, I'll see you tomorrow." Cassie began walking away before Treize could do anything else. She heard him get into his car and drive off. She let her breath out wearily.
Even though she had a coat, which practically dwarfed her, Cassie's feet were still numb and she had no idea which direction she should take. She wandered around until she finally found some familiar street signs. With agonizing steps, Cassie eventually found her apartment. It was almost two in the morning when she finally drifted into a dreamless sleep.
