Okay, well since I have the overwhelming SIX reviews, I guess that means you don't want me to kill it…sorry Josh you don't get to play with Duo's death scythe.

Josh: Awwwwww….::walks away pouting::

Ice: Hey Get back here! You're a muse and I need ideas! So hop to it!

Josh: Hop to where?

Ice: ::Glares:: Well, then at any rate here is chapter 3. R&R!…please? Oh and I would like to thank you all for your reviews. But unless I get some more input…well Josh might just have a little fun after all ::innocent look:: okay, so I'm just kidding.

Chapter 3:

It was over before it began, Tiany lay unconscious in the hallway about ten feet from the door. A puddle of blood bathed her and it was growing steadily larger. Heero was right, they didn't need to look far.

~~~~~*****~~~~~

"W-where am I?"

"Relax, you've been asleep for awhile." A new boy had spoken, one she'd never met before. As with Heero he seemed to carry an aura of mysteriousness, and quiet. But unlike Heero, there was something much different. It was like he was missing something, or else had yet to find it.

"Who are you?" Tiany asked.

His frame was silhouetted by the window he was standing at. Thin and muscular, his lips were tightly drawn, and his eyes were distant, partially covered by long bangs. "My name is Trowa. Now get some rest, your little show caused a lot of havoc."

Tiany bolted to a sitting position. "Hey! I know you!" she stopped trying to place the memory.

"I was one of the soldiers that attempted to capture you."

"Oh," her hopes fell. For a passing moment a memory flashed across her mind. "Yes, I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone else." Tiany laid back down carefully so as not to hurt her wound, sitting up had done enough. For the rest of the day she dozed, dreams haunting her in her troubled sleep.

Duo gazed down at the unaware girl sleeping before him. Occasionally she would shudder or scream silently at the horrors of the vision. "Wonder what she's dreaming about?"

Trowa did not respond.

"Think we should wake her up?"

Again, no answer was issued from his companion.

Duo was about to gently shake her, when a teenage Chinese boy entered, "Don't do that." he advised, "She must face with the demon's of her dreams if she ever to overcome them."

"Oh," Duo drew his hand back. "If you say so Wufei."

"She'll wake up soon, she isn't strong enough to defeat them." His sermon said he walked out of the room as abruptly as he had entered, like a fleeting refreshing breeze on a summer day, too fast to provide any comfort, but just enough to make you long for more.

Duo blinked his eyes trying absorb what Wufei had just said, "I have got to get out more often." He was halfway through the door when a blood-freezing scream halted him. "Jeezes." he muttered before re-entering.

On the bed Tiany lay panting, bathing in a cold sweat. Trowa was already at her side.

"I'll let him handle this one. Things here are just to strange for me." Duo walked out into the hallway nearly crashing into Heero. "Oh hey."

"Follow me."

Duo shrugged, "Sure, whatever you say."

"I've received orders for a new mission. You'll have to come with me."

~~~~~*****~~~~~

"Oh, it was terrible." Tiany sobbed recollections of her dreams still plaguing her. "Sometimes I hate sleeping. So I wear myself out, hoping I'll become too tired for them to come, but they do." A new wave of salty tears poured from her face into her knees.

"There are ways to avoid them." Trowa said after a moment of silence, "But that isn't the best way. You must overcome them by facing them, not by avoiding them. That only signifies the fear which they feed and grow."

"How can I overcome them? I'm not strong, I hide, I don't know how to face an enemy." Her well of self-pity was manifesting. "You've seen for yourself, I disappear. I'm nothing but a coward."

Trowa said nothing, he simply watched as she cried out her sorrows, planting them into the blanket she was under. Sometimes time was the best remedy, but not always.
