Just wanted to say to everyone: I've cleaned up in my fics section, so that the ones I hated are gone and the ones that everyone seems to like are staying.


Thy Heart Shall Bleed

(this chapter seems to switch POV's often)

.:SIX:.

…We didn't know what to do…

Duo's POV

What is going on? All I remember is white light.

I opened my eyes... well... I think I did. I was surrounded by darkness and I could hear this song, faintly, although I can't see anything.

It feels cold, however I could also feel warmth and I was instantly reminded of Heero. Where is Heero? I need him. I thought I saw a glimmer of him disappearing and then reappearing. My mind was screaming his name over and over.

As I saw another glimmer of him, I quickly floated- was I floating?- to where he was.

"Heero!"

And I was swallowed and wrapped in warmness.


Heero's POV

Duo?

What is happening? Where's Duo?

I have this need to be with him.

These black swirls were spreading around. Is this the cause of the town? I could feel that Duo needs me. Is that a feeling? This is quite strange.

I could see Duo's worried face appear now and again. Where is that baka?

"Heero!"

I see him now. He's rushing to me. Wait, he's floating. Without a care, I instantly ran to hold him so then he won't disappear again.

I held him tightly as we sank to the ground.

What is happening to us?

"Duo! Heero!"


Quatre's POV

Thank Allah it is over. We rushed to Heero and Duo's side.

"Are you both alright?" I asked as we ran.

It was so strange. They were swaying about with these other ghostly counterparts, the music loud and proud as the lightening flashed about. The other ghosts were either chatting or dancing. I didn't recognize any of them. Then out of nowhere, the music abruptly stops and Heero and Duo broke apart from the ghosts and ran to each other to sink to the ground in desperation, while the ghostly clones of them turned to each other and stretched out their arms and yet disappeared, along with the other 'guests.' The ghostly outfits of the real Heero and Duo, faded away, leaving them in their normal attire.

I could see that their eyes couldn't acknowledge what was happening until we shouted at them, then they were able to 'wake up' from their deep trance.

Duo's face crumbled into a nervous fit, "I don't like this town," he said with a whimper, "I'm sick of this place. It's driving me crazy." With that said he had yet to remove himself from Heero's arms. I think it was because he felt safer there, I would be too if Trowa and I were in that predicament.

"I want to go too!" Relena said, agreeing with Duo for once. She too, sank to the ground but she did not move closer to Heero as I thought she would have.

"I would also like to leave. Silent Hill is an unnatural force that man cannot defeat" Trowa said, I nodded along with him.

"Even I can't stand this perplexing place," Wufei said, brushing his hand through his hair.

"But the mission…" Heero softly spoke, looking on the ground, away from Duo's terror-filled eyes.

"Forget the mission, Heero!" Duo interrupted, grabbing Heero's chin to look into his eyes dead on, "What do you think we'd do after this if we agree to stay? We have to find a way out of here or we'll be killed without knowing it."

Heero looked undecided, but hesitantly nodded. I could tell it was the fact that we are giving up on a mission. He hated admitting defeat.

"Look at it this way, Heero. When we get out of here, we will be more prepared to come back and finish this," I said, trying to make him agree with more determination.

Heero carefully stood up, bringing Duo with him. He let go but allowed Duo to hold his right arm so that they were still close together.

"Yes. That would be a better solution," Heero said nodding to himself and then began to take full charge once more, "first, we shall leave here and find a safer place to rest and stand watch. When we are ready, we will then contact headquarters and ask for transportation immediately. Let's go."

We began to head up to 'our room' and grab our gear to leave. We each had a drink of bottled water and went back down stairs to the lobby doors. We had our weapons out incase of any attacks.

"You are NOT going anywhere!" a voice shouted from behind us. We hastily turned to see who spoke.

It was Relena. Well, a different Relena. She wore an old fashioned dress with her hair up in a delicate bun. I could see that the real Relena looked shocked at her twin. How could this be? Is this another of those ghosts?

"What do you want?" Wufei strongly shouted back. I could tell he was sick of these manifestations.

"Just who are you?" the real Relena strongly voiced out.

The other Relena glanced at her, "I'm you. My name is Ellien and I am power here. You cannot leave because this hasn't been resolved!"


Duo's POV

"What hasn't?" I asked. None of this makes sense... well nothing does around here.

"The Death of you!" Ellien shouted at me, coming towards us, "He could have been mine, but instead he likes you! You! My own sister!"

"Wow, wait a minute!" I interrupted, "What are you talking about? I'm not your sister! I'm a guy!"

Ellien sighed in annoyance, "It was in your past life, you fool!"

"My past life? And hay, I'm not here just to get insulted!" Talk about rude!!

"It's all of your past lives," the rude ghost delicately sat on the ground, "I'll explain. It involves all of you so please try and not interrupt," she looked to her right at nothing in particular.

"I was in love with a young man. The first time I saw him, he was resting against an oak tree- I instantly fell in love. I thought- this was the man I'd be married too…

"His name was Hero Yuwe," Ellien looked up at Heero, "He looks just like you, although… he smiled very often. Even though was not directed to me, he had such a charming smile.

"No matter how much I showed him my love for him, his mind was directed at someone else. My sister" She looked at me then, with a mixed expression but a bitter voice, "You. I remember the first time you saw each other. I felt that connection between them. Haro's eyes lit up, and Duet's face was red as Daddy's tomatoes. But they didn't look a way for a while. I was insanely jealous from then on.

"Haro and Duet would spend so much time together. They became so close. I couldn't take it," she glanced at the floor with narrow eyes, and unshed tears.

"It wasn't fair! I saw him first. I was so paranoid. 'What were they doing now? Are they holding hands? Has Duet been proposed to? I couldn't stand the thought that my younger sister could get married before me, and to the man I love," Ellien put both her hands hard on the ground.

"I did something so selfish. To even endanger my own sweet sister… how could I have? So, so selfish," her whole body shook, "I secretly went to our servant who was also the village's executioner, Troy."

She got up and looked at Trowa, "that would be you. It was so stupid of me. I ordered you to kill Duet. Kill! I'm so horrid! You tried to do it, I saw you. When Duet was alone in he barn, you had that big knife in your hand, ready to … murder. But I should have known…

"I should have known that you loved her. As soon as Duet turned to face you, you dropped the knife. You couldn't do it. I didn't understand! You knew whom her heart belonged to and you still couldn't do it. I wished I were like you that way…" she had a long pause after that. Was that it?

"So what happened?" Relena asked. I think it was because she felt a relation with her past life self.

Ellien just stood there, head bowed. Silent.

"What about Quatre and Wufei? How were they involved?" I asked. I thought it might change the subject so that she could continue on.

"Katre was Troy's second love. She was Haro's servant. She helped Troy admit what I did. Fey was a detective whom Troy spoke to, telling him what I wanted him to do. I was so angry that I blamed my sister for that too. She didn't know until the sentence… Fey did research and found my diary.

"In that diary, I spoke of my hate and jealousy and the details of my plan of the murder of my sister. It was the evidence of my guilt and I was sentenced to death," tears fell down Ellien's face, "My parents didn't understand. They thought I had gone crazy, everyone did. I wasn't sure if Duet wanted me dead or not. She had an unreadable face. I didn't know if she forgave me or not. And I still don't…"

Ellien broke down, "I've had countless hauntings after my death, of what she thought of me. Of her hating me. My death has been nothing of torture… but now… I've been given a second chance."

For a minute, I thought she wanted to know if Duet had forgiven her… but the way she began to speak, the way it just sounds… obscure and a hint of craziness.

"To finally destroy my torture. To kill all of you," she looked up with an evil grin.

"W-what?" Quatre stuttered. My thoughts exactly.

"That won't solve anything besides murder," Wufei said with a sneer.

"You were all involved in my death in some way. Wouldn't it be justice to do what you all have done to me?" Ellien asked, "I would need all of you separate to kill you one by one."

"This is crazy! You're doing this the wrong way!" I shouted.

Ellien smiled at me, "You will be the first one, my dear sister…"

"You won't get him," Heero threatened as he stood in front of me. The others also stood around me as well. Relena surprisingly stood in front of Heero, to face Ellien herself.

"I never want to be like you," Relena said in anger. I haven't seen her this pissed since our Gundam days, "you'll have to go for me first, before you get to these boys."

"You can't protect anyone if you're all away from each other," and with that, Ellien clicked her fingers and we were met by black.

"Guys? Is everyone okay?" I had no answer…

"Guys?"

A light flickered on and I saw that I was in one of the rooms.

She really did it, she separated all of us. Is this how she's going to kill us?

I would need all of you separate to kill you one by one… You will be the first one, my dear sister..

I had to get out of here, I can't let her get me.

I remembered that I had my bag with me. I pulled out my gun and opened the door.

Outside in the hallway, everything was quiet and dark with an eerie sense in the air.

"You're not going to get me, bitch" I said loudly.

I was ready to face anything that she takes out. Anything.


How is it so far?

Critic me please!
