Hi everyone! Thanks to everyone who's reviewed this. I'm greatful to you all. This is going to be ending soon, I'll make it longer if asked, so please tell me.

I don't own Heero and the guys. I really wish I did, but I do own Meg. This was inspired by way too many doses of both the book and movie Dracula. Heh, it's my fave, what can I say?

Ch 4: Duo Maxwell's journal (continued)

Later- I told everyone what Heero had told me. I asked them what they thought he meant by it.We were all gathered in the living room. Only one person was missing, Meg.

'I don't know and I think no one else does.' Wufei siad after a moment of thinking.

'I'm at a loss for words.' 'Lena looked out the glass doors as Quatre talked. She had this dreamy look on her face, like she was daydreaming about her prince charming.

'Miss Peacecraft, I suggest longing after another. The one you want already has a love.' We all turned our heads toward the doorway. Megan stood in the doorway leading out into the garden. She was wearing a dress. It looked beautiful on her. It was tight, not overly so, from her waist up and the skirt billowed around her in the breeze.

We were dombstruck for a moment, no one in the room had seen her in a dress before.

'How long have you been there?!' Millardo was just as surprised as the rest of us. She hadn't made a single sound and we didn't hear the old wooden door open.

'Long enough,' She replied, 'Remeber when I told you Heero made a pact with Shinigami?' I shook my head, that question was for me. 'Well, it damned him. The only way he can be saved and become human again is for you to talk him into renounceing his deal with the Shinigami and begging God for salvation.' I feel like she's hiding something. How could she know so much about him? She's so much more than she seems.

Megan Van Helsing's Journal

June 21- It has been six days since I last wrote. I've been very concerned with Duo's wellfare. The last time I found him wasn't as I'd hoped. Twice he's been reincarnated, this being his third. Twice I found him dying and Heero found him on his death bed. I wish to tell him about all of his past lives, but I'm under strict orders from God.

It's very close to midnight. I'm sitting on the steps to the abbey my brother's taken refuge in. Duo sits beside me, waiting for the clock to strike the start of the bewiching hour. All of his things lay scattered, in bookbags and boxes, around us. The sight of him makes me sad. Duo's going to live the rest of his life or eternity with two people he barely knows. It's not fair!!! I wish I had aksed for the control of time! Then I could've prevented his death! Why? WHY?!

I had to get him out of that mansion. His so called 'friend' tried to kill him last night. It was luck that we'd taken to being around eachother during the night. I was making sure Heero kept his distence. I know he wouldn't purposefully break a promise to me, but his need might have driven him over the edge. I heard the soft sound of feet out in the hall, so I hid. I thought it might have been Quatre, he has quiet footsteps, but his were a little bit louder than the ones approaching. The door opened, the scream of the hinges letting me know. In the darkness I could make out the figure of a girl. I knew it was Relina, but why she was there I would surely find out.

'Why does he want you? Everyone knows I'm prettier than you and I can give him heirs. What can you give him that I can't? Well, I won't have to worry about that after tonight.' She smiled. The girl's a spoiled brat that got everything she wanted as a child. I'd love to see how she'd do back home. She'd be cast out of her house in no time with her aittude. She grabbed one of Duo's extra pillows.

'Kill him and you've signed your death warrent.' I growled. I made it sound like my brother's so she'd put it back.

'Heero? Is that you?'

'Yes. Now, get away from my Duo!'

'Why him? Why not someone pretty? Why not me?!' She stomped her foot and I fought the urge to laugh. Relina reminded me of a child about to throw a hissy fit, a very spoiled rotten child.

'You're right he's not pretty, but beautiful. I love him, not you. That's why I want him. That and I want to be with him again.'

'That doctor's story was true?!' Her voice was shaky and dripped with surprise. I could clearly see her face. It was frozen in place with astonishment. I grinned. I was enjoying myself very much. I'd been waiting for the chance to repay her for all the injuries to my pride and body. That little! She doesn't know a thing about me and the whole time I was there, she persucuted me! Back to my tale,

'Doctor?' I siad, still grinning.

'Yes! Van Helsing.'

'Ah! That girl! I knew her ancestors. They've vowed to help Duo give me salvation from my never ending hell of immortality. Now, you should put that pillow down and return to bed. It is quite late and getting later still.' I spun the lie like it was the truth, an ability we'd picked up from our father's diplomatic adventures.

'Yes, Heero.' Relina sat the pillow back beside Duo and went back to her bedroom. I'm quite proud of myself for tricking her and pulling it off so perfectly. I don't know if I should tell my brother. He may not be very happy about my impersonation of him. I must stop, the bell tolls, and Heero wakes. I still don't get why he rises at this hour. Why can't he wake-up at a more normal time, say 10:00?

Duo Maxwell's journal

June 21- I'm back at the abbey, only this time I won't be going back. I watched Meg write and I felt like writing too. The steps are cold, but not a lot. All my stuff is scattered about the steps. After tonight, I'll be living with Heero and Megan. I don't know what I'm going to do. I've no clue how to save Heero. I don't know what to say. Maybe the words will come to me with time.

I'll miss everyone. Maybe he'll let me come back to visit, if I asked. I really don't want to go away from here. What should I do? I'm so confused. I don't want to leave and yet I do. I feel like I'm going home after being in a strange land for a very long time. I don't want to leave without saying bye to my friends, so I'll leave them a letter. I wonder if he'd take it and lay it in my room. Megan's just looked up, the bell is ringing. It's midnight.

Later- Heero's gone to hunt down a few extra blankets. Meg's around here somewhere, neither I nor 'Ro know where. Currently I'm sitting agienst the wall behind the alter, a blanket wrapped around me.

Even though he's not here, I can feel Heero's touch over my entire body.

Because I'm right behind you. Why don't we use your journal to talk, love?

O.k, there's something on my mind.

What?

Do you and Megan know eachother?

Yes.

How?

Her real name is Princess Megan Yuy, my younger sister.

Your sister?!

Yes, my sister. Meg and I were close all those centuries ago.

That can't be right! She's a little younger than me!

I made a pact with Shinigami and she made one with God.

When?

To seal my pact with him, Shinigami had me drink your blood. As soon as she saw your blood on my lips, she begged God to let her live as an immortal until everything was set right. He made her body able to rejvinate itself every century.

So, this started because of me?

No! This started because I couldn't imagine my life without you in it. For that selfishness, not only am I paying, but my sister too. Duo,

Yes?

Please, stay, don't leave me. It's dangerous for you back at that mansion.

I'm not leaving, but why?

Duo, I won't let that Peacecraft girl take you away from me. I don't think I could handle loseing you agian. I've come so close to staking myself so many times.

Fine...I'm tired.

Alright. Sleep, love, sleep.

Megan Van Helsing's Journal

June 23, morning- I don't know what time it is, but I feel that something is wrong. I have to find Heero and Duo. I have to tell them about my feeling. It's never wrong.

Duo- Why do I get the idea that something bad's gonna happen?

T.D.K- Can't say 'cause that's for me to know and you to find out.

Duo- Damn.
