A/N: I am starting this new year with an attempt at writing for another show. It's my first heroes fanfiction ever so don't be too harsh. I really am a fan of the show but I never thought I'd get ideas for it because I didn't want to ruin it. Then, I had this idea after watching the 'eclipse part 1' and the promo for part 2. I know it aired some time ago but I couldn't post it earlier. I hope you will enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I do not own heroes or make any profits out of this. I'm just a fan with a great deal of imagination and some free time to write this.
Note: The italic part comes directly from the show then it's all me. Some other parts are a little similar but it's just to settle the story. Also, this story won't be long. It should have two or three chapters. Anyway, enjoy!
oOoOo
"You're not even gonna admit you were wrong?" Peter shouted over his shoulder.
"You really want to get into this now?" Nathan replied, pushing some branches out of his way. "Come on!" he added.
"You really gotta stop treating me like your idiot kid brother!" Peter spat.
"You read the map right. Congratulations!" the older Petrelli spat in irony. "I just wish I could fly," he growled.
"But you can't!" Peter pointed out.
"That's right. I'm powerless, just like you!" Nathan grumbled.
"Hey! If it wasn't for me, you'd be lost AND alone!" Peter jerked.
"If it wasn't for you, I'd be home by now!" the eldest reproached. "I only brought you down here to protect your fragile ego!" he added.
"You know what? I don't need your pity!" the youngest spat. Nathan was staring straight at him now.
"No but you know what you do need? My help!" Nathan bragged. "I've been saving your ass my entire life!" he exclaimed.
"Is that so?"
"That's right! When you jumped off that roof like a moron, who caught you? Who pulled you out of Kirby Plaza when you were about to blow up? You want my respect, you want my approval, earn it!" Nathan snapped, walking away from his younger brother.
"Why would I want your respect? You're a puppet!" Peter yelled. Nathan stopped moving and spun back. "Excuse me?" he inquired, sounding mad and unsure of what he just heard. Did his brother really insult him?
"You have no spine!" Peter said in a weaker voice now.
"Are you a senator? No. You're a nurse," Nathan said, trying to stay as calm as he could be.
"You're everything dad ever wanted you to be! His dreams, his goals! He always finds the way to get under your skin and manipulate you! Use you!" Peter explained.
"At least I wasn't a disappointment to him like you were!" Nathan replied. Peter's blood started to boil into his veins.
"Maybe I didn't become what he wanted me to be but at least I can live my life the way I want!" the youngest snapped. Nathan started laughing.
"Does that mean quitting your shitty job to 'save the world'? Come one Pete, you can't even take care of yourself!" he giggled. Peter was getting even more angry now.
"You think I can't take care of myself?! I do hope you can, Nathan because this is over! I've had enough of you and your 'I'm the greatest' thoughts. You want to get lost?! Fine! But I quit. I'm going alone and if you want to, you can go back to the village or to your precious home and do your precious business! I'm sick of you! Now we'll see who can't take care of himself" Peter shouted. He was beyond upset.
"That's it, Pete! Go get yourself killed! See if I care" Nathan surrendered. Peter rolled his eyes in anger and left his brother standing on his own in the middle of the forest.
oOoOo
Nathan sighed. He couldn't believe what just happened. Had his brother gone mad? He was so small and fragile in this big world. There was no way they were getting out of there without getting hurt, especially if everyone took his side to leave. Pissed off, he decided to take the other way. This way, he made sure he would not cross Peter again. He was walking when someone grabbed him by behind, putting his hand on his mouth so he wouldn't scream. Nathan started kicking but then, the Haitian guy popped in front of him with a finger on his lips. For sure, he didn't want Nathan to make any sound that could get their position revealed. He motioned for the eldest Petrelli to follow him. They walked for a long time, staying quiet all along. Nathan soon grew tired of the silence.
"Excuse me, I really appreciate your help but I need to take you back home. My father is alive" Nathan explained.
"Arthur is alive?" the tall man asked.
"Yeah! And you're one of the only people who can stop him! Now as soon as you give me my powers back…" Nathan said when the Haitian cut him off.
"It's not me. My powers are gone too, just like yours…" he said. Nathan cursed under his breath.
"Isn't there any way to communicate with the world? If you could just give me a phone, I could call the military so they could fly us out," Nathan proposed.
"I can't go anywhere. Not before I catch Samedi, the guy from level five. I must do it, he is my brother and he's just like us, special. His skin is impenetrable. He has killed. I stopped him once. Now I have to do it again," the man explained.
"And you do that all alone?" Nathan asked.
"He's my brother. Besides, I don't have the choice" the other replied. Just before Nathan could say anything, gunshots filled the air. They quickly got down and ran away.
"Run! Run!" the Haitian screamed. Armed guys were running after them, shooting wherever they could. Nathan ran as far as he could when he realized they were circled. He put his hands in the air and spun around.
"Je m'appelle Nathan Petrelli. Je suis un américain," (**My name is Nathan Petrelli. I am American**) he said in surrender. The guy who seemed to be the leader of the group walked toward him.
"We now all about you, Senator Nathan Petrelli. Your father warned us you'd come" he said in an average English.
"My father?" Nathan asked.
"Yeah" the man replied.
"What did he tell you?"
"He told me to be myself", the man said. With that, he hit Nathan on the head, knocking him out. Then, he motioned for his guys to pick him up and to drag him to their camp. They also got the Haitian tied up and dragged down along with Nathan.
oOoOo
Peter was hiding in a bush. He had seen the whole scene from there. At first, he was not planning on following Nathan but he just couldn't resist when he saw an army of Haitians run into the same direction his brother took. From that point, he had followed and it led him into a bush near the place Nathan was hit.
The youngest Petrelli waited until there wasn't anyone around then he got up to go find his brother. Even if he told his brother that he would not care for him, he couldn't resist. He would not let anyone hurt his big brother. Peter ran through the trees and bushes. He wasn't sure about the directions but he followed what he thought looked like the trails Nathan's limp body left behind. He didn't know how but somehow, he ended up at the entrance of what seemed like a little village. It wasn't exactly tidy but it was close to what he expected.
Still hidden, he peeked only to see that there was a guard at this entrance. The man was tall, built…and armed. Peter didn't have anything to protect himself. He was left with only his wit. Still, Peter Petrelli proved he could manage. He had a plan that he wasn't too sure about, but if it worked, he could plan on rescuing Nathan.
He looked around and found just the thing. He picked up this huge pebble off the ground. After fidgeting with it for a few seconds, he decided to put his plan into action. He got closer to the guard, still without being seen. From behind a huge tree, he whistled softly. The guard spun to his direction only to meet with the rock. It knocked him out cold. Peter was proud of that one. He had never been the best in sports but this time, it worked.
He ran up to the guy and dug into his pockets. All he found were bullets. Still, he took them all before grabbing the riffle. "Sorry" he muttered to the guy, before running off.
oOoOo
Nathan was stirring awake. It took him a few seconds to realize what just happened. He was tied up to a small wood-and-hay-made house. The Haitian was nowhere to be seen, although he heard voices coming from the house.
Inside, the Haitian was tied-up to a chair. He was hardly awake when a fist made contact with his face. It was a hard awakening. The guy who hit him was smiling maliciously.
"Comme on se retrouve, mon frère" (**Nice to see you again, brother**), he said. The Haitian growled. Samedi hit him again.
"Comment ça va depuis que tu m'as trahi et mis en prison?"(**How've you been since the time you betrayed me and put me into jail?**)
"Je rendais seulement service à l'humanité"(**I was only saving the world from you**) the Haitian replied. A look of hate crossed his brother's face.
"I'll go take care of Petrelli, but I'm not forgetting about you" Samedi spat coldly. He hit his brother one more time before going out.
Nathan heard the whole conversation. He was thanking his mother for bringing him in Paris when he was young. Although he didn't want to, he was enjoying it now as he could understand what was going on when the man who held him captive spoke French. As he was expecting it, the man came out of the house to get to Nathan.
"What do you want from me?" Nathan asked, scared.
"Je veux que mes mains soient recouvertes de ton sang,"(**I want your blood all over my hands**) he replied with his horrible smile. A long shiver went down Nathan's spine. This was just creepy. Samedi read the fear in Nathan's look and laughed. He punched the eldest Petrelli in the face. Nathan faked being unconscious, this way, he would not be hit again. To his relief, it worked and the man just walked away, laughing. Nathan was losing hope when he heard a weak noise. The sound turned into a whisper. He couldn't make it out yet. Then it came clear to his mind. Someone was calling his name. He looked all around but didn't find anyone.
"I'm behind you", the voice said. Nathan turned and saw Peter's face. He was hiding on the other side of the house's wall.
"What the hell are you doing here?" the eldest whispered.
"I'm saving your ass" Peter spat as he ran behind his brother and untied him. Nathan was patting his wrists from where the ropes had been.
"Where's the Haitian?" the youngest asked.
"Inside" Nathan whispered, looking around to make sure no one was seeing them. Peter nodded and poked his head inside. Fortunately, the guards that were there had left for a break. He walked in. The Haitian hadn't moved, his head was lolling downwards. Peter slid behind the chair to untie him. He made sure to not make any noise and they got out to join Nathan who was faking unconsciousness again.
"Alright," Peter said softly. "You too take my bag and go. There has to be a village nearby. Find it and call for help" he explained, looking at the darkening sky. The moon was almost covering the sun. Deep down, they were all praying to get their powers back when the eclipse would be over.
"Pete…", Nathan started but Peter was faster to cut him off.
"…Go Nathan! You're a Senator. What am I? A nurse. I'm expendable."
"Peter" Nathan begged.
"Go now!" he shouted.
"And where exactly do you think you're going?" Samedi asked. A look of fright crossed Peter's face.
"Run!" Peter screamed. Nathan was already in motion. His little brother was running behind him, dodging the bullets that were fired their way. Peter was blindingly shooting back. They ran for a while until they reached a good hiding spot. They were out of sight for the moment so they decided to stop.
"I know this forest better than you do! I will find you" they heard.
"Listen Nathan, you have to go. I'll take care of him"
"Pete…"
But it was too late, the youngest was already running back. Unarmed, Nathan decided to do just as his brother said. His ears were ringing as he ran to escape a dark fate. All he could hear were gunshots until one sound stopped him. Until this one sound made his heart stop beating. A pain-filled scream.
"Peter…"
oOoOo
