The Secret part 10

By Backlash



Quatre was cornered he couldn't believe his luck Not again. Ash approached him slowly. Quatre felt numb the fear was starting to take over he had to get away. Quatre three a trash can at him when he fell to the ground. Quatre ran past him but Ash grabbed his leg and Quatre kicked him and began to run. Ash laughed and yelled, "Go ahead and run. There is no place to run."

Quatre was completely lost he didn't know where to go he found him self at the docks. All there was is water he turned to go back the ways he came but Ash stood in his way.
"Why won't you leave me alone?" asked Quatre in a trembling voice.
"I'm having to much fun. You know I've been watching you. Maybe when I'm done with you I'll have some fun with that guy you were hugging."
"You leave Trowa alone."
"Don't worry I want to use you all up first. Time to play." Quatre searched for a way out but he couldn't find a way out. He turned to the water. It's a pretty lengthy swim to the house but there were no other alternatives. So he jumped in and began to swim. "You can't allude me forever." he called.


Meanwhile Trowa was going nuts. "Relax Trowa he just went that cafe for coffee." Duo said.
"It doesn't take three hours to drink coffee."
"Talk about a mother hen." Wufei remarked.
"Really Trowa you're worrying about nothing." then Trowa snapped.
"When the person you love more than anything is raped and attacked and you fail to protect them come talk to me. Until then you don't know what your talking about."
"Look I'm sorry I didn't think. I'm sure he's allright." Trowa stared at the door his heart beating to fast he was terrified. He should have went with him. But Quatre wanted to go alone to prove he could.
"I hope so Duo." he said in a low voice.

Quatre continued to swim but was very exhausted. He could see the beach by the house and headed for it. i Stupid stupid stupid. I just ran like a scared little kid. I have to face that monster or I'll never get passed this. What he said I have to protect Trowa. Why does my arm itch so much Every since I was a prisoner. I am such an idiot. What if he put some kind of tracer on my arm . That has to be it how else would he have found me. That would explain it I could use this to my advantage./i

Quatre made it to land and was quite out of breath. He needed some sleep before he could think of what to do next. He came threw the door and Trowa ran over to him and hugged him hard. Like his life depended on it. i Does he know what happened?/i
"Trowa what's wrong?"
"Why are you so wet Q?" asked Duo.
"Ah. I.. I went..for a swim yeah. That's it I went for a swim." he answered.
"In your clothes?" Wufei questioned. Trowa looked very scared but retreated to his room.

Trowa sat on his bed and rocked himself. He still had fear in him and didn't understand why. Quatre watched from the hallway wondering if he should tell Trowa what happened. "Trowa?" he saw tears coming down his cheeks. So Quatre rushed to him. " Please don't cry I hate to see you cry please Trowa what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry Quatre I tried to be strong for you."
"You've been great. Let me help you."
"When you took so long I got scared. I was afraid something happened to you. I'm so useless I couldn't protect you and you were hurt."
"Trowa you weren't even there and was nothing you could have done."
"You were in such pain and I couldn't help." Quatre held him and rocked him and said in a soothing tone. "You helped me more then you'll ever know. Knowing I had to get back to you is what kept me going. If not for you I would have died a long time ago." i Now I must protect you from the same fate./i Trowa fell asleep in his arms. after that Quatre went to his room. He used an x ray device and found he was correct there was a homing device of some kind.

Quatre packed some stuff. Along with a gun and some rope. He was going to go to the cabin and wait from Ash to come for him. Except this time Quatre would be waiting. He left a letter for Trowa on the front it said do not open for 24 hours. before he left he had went to see Trowa one last time just in case. He told everyone he had family business to attend to. "You sure you don't want me to come?" asked Trowa Quatre said no and began to leave but ran back to him and hugged him and said "You know I love you right?"
"Yes I know. I'm sorry I broke down last night."
"No need to apologize. No matter what happens I'll always love you Trowa. Please never forget that." Then he left.


Next chapter will be a face off. Can Quatre beat him or will Ash be waiting.
