"People using humans as guinea pigs for...for something like this...?" Trowa wiped the prespiration from his forehead and continued reading.
"The key to immortality...unusual symptoms can arise...bloodthirst...rapid growth of hair..." Trowa read on, and saved the information on a disc. He picked up his phone and dialed Duo's number.
~~~~~
"Thanks, I owe you," Duo grabbed the disc and examined it, "So, did you find any evidence...?"
"Plenty," Trowa answered, "almost too much."
A grin found its way to Duo's face, "Did you figure out what's going on with Heero?"
Trowa shuddered at the information he read the other night, and nodded, "Yes, it's...it's rather hard to believe."
Duo smirked and popped the disc in and opened the file, he read. Trowa watched silently as Duo's eyes widened.
"My God...oh my God..."
Duo read more, and closed the file, running to the phone.
"Who are you calling?" Trowa asked.
"Relena," Duo answered, "I hope I'm not too late."
~~~~~~~~
Relena entered her room, yawning. She took her hair out of its ponytail and sighed as her hair fell freely to her shoulders. She noticed the lights were off, and the balcony door was open. Shivering, Relena went to close it, but stopped once she felt as if she were being watched. She looked around, cursing herself for not turning on the light. The moon light poured into the room, outlining a figure hiding in the corner.
"Who are you?" Relena asked.
The figure stood up, looking at her.
"Relena."
"Heero?" She asked.
He nodded as he walked out of the darkened corner, facing her. He looked pale, almost as pale as Death itself. His eyes were bloodshot, and his body was trembling.
"What is it? You look sick...are you alright?" Relena movied closer, but Heero stopped her with a wave of his hand.
"Stop...d-don't come any c-closer...I can't s-s-stand it anymore..." He clawed at his face, his veins popping out over his arms and face. Relena backed away, frightened.
'What's wrong with him?' Relena thought. She moved closer, reaching out to his arm. Heero swatted at her, forcing her back.
"STAY AWAY!" He screamed.
Overcoming the fear that was rising, Relena spoke in a calm voice, "What is it, Heero? You can tell me."
Heero's body spasmed violently, he grabbed at his head and his viens shown through his neck.
"Relena...r-r-run, get away from m-me...!" Heero fell to the ground, hissing.
Relena backed away, tears threatening to spill. Never had she even dreamed to see Heero in such a pitiful state. What was wrong with him?!
"RUN!!!" He screamed once more, "Run, before I LOSE CONTROL!!"
Relena backed away, and screamed when the phone rang. Should she run, or answer it? She backed to the doorway and ran down the hall. Heero continued to spasm, and then stopped. The viens slowly vanished from sight, his breathing slowed. He looked up, his eyes glowing a faint red. He hissed, his canine teeth shot out, and he calmly rose to his feet, walking towards the hallway. He was on the hunt, and Relena was his prey.
~~~~~~~
"No answer, Heero might have already gotten to her!" Duo cried.
"If he did get her or not, we still have to stop him, we don't know if this is contagious or not," Trowa said, crossing his arms.
"We have to go to the Sanc Kingdom. All we can do is pray Heero is still there and Relena is alright."
Duo grabbed his coat and walked out the front door to his car. Trowa grabbed one of his guns and loaded it before following Duo.
~~~~~~~
Quatre parked his car in front of the entrance to the Sanc Kingdom. After much thought, he decided to visit Relena and tell her about Heero. He turned off the car and walked inside.
"Where's security?" He asked himself. Why was it so dark?
Quatre took a few cautious steps, only to trip and fall over something. He rubbed his bruised elbow, and looked down at the 'bump' he tripped over. He gasped in surprise. It was a dead security guard.
~~~~~~
Gasping, Relena ran into the kitchen, looking around frantically.
"Looking for me?" The lights turned on suddenly, Relena turned and noticed Heero sitting on the table, smirking.
"What do you want?" Relena asked, frightened.
Heero got off the table and advanced slowly. Relena trembled, this wasn't Heero. His prussian blue eyes were no more; they were replaced by a blood red color. His facial expression showed nothing but some kind of hunger. Relena backed away and stopped once she realized she backed into a wall.
"What do you want?" she repeated.
"You," he said simply.
"What have you done with Heero?" she demanded.
Heero said nothing, he continued his slow pace towards her. Relena looked around, sick dread filled her heart once she realized she had no way out.
"What are you going to do to me?" She asked.
"You'd like to know, wouldn't you?" Heero smiled a sick, hungry smile, "you'll find out soon enough."
Relena let out a desperate scream which echoed throughout the mansion.
~~~~~~~~~~
Quatre flinched once he heard a faint scream.
"Relena!" he cried. Without thinking about his pacifist beliefs, he reached and grabbed the gun from the dead soldiers ice,cold grip. His now adjusted eyes searched the hall, and followed the screams.
"I'm coming, just hold on!" Quatre ran faster.
~~~~~~~~~
"Gotta hurry...gotta hurry...not going to make it..." Duo chanted as he stepped on the gas.
"Judging by the speed you're going now, we should reach the Sanc Kingdom within five minutes," Trowa said.
"Five minutes may seem fast, but every second counts," Duo cried.
Trowa took out a gun and handed it to Duo.
"If we are to stop him, we may have to use force. We might even have to kill him," Trowa said.
"How? For Pete's sake, he's immortal!" Duo screeched.
"Have you read the entire file, or not?" Trowa demanded, "He's not invincible. If he lives a peaceful life, he can live forever, but if he's shot, or harmed in any physical way-"
"I know...I know...but still, they're chance of death is lessened because their body is more immune to blood loss!"
"We have to try," Trowa said softly. "I know he's your best friend, but he's suffering. If we don't kill him, god only knows what could happen..."
Duo said, wiping a tear from his eye, "I know, Trowa, but...he doesn't deserve to die."
~~~~~~~~~
Heero's hand reached out and stroked Relena's cheek. She shuddered under his touch, his hands seemed so cold. He smiled at her.
"This may hurt for a second, but it will pass," he leaned towards her neck.
Relena looked around, desperate for some kind of escape. She noticed several pans, pots, and buckets handing from the wall nearby. She reached out and grabbed a pot. With all her strength, she brought the pot crashing into Heero's head. Heero let out a small yelp and grabbed at his head.
"DAMN IT!" He screamed.
Relena seized the opportunity and ducked under his arm and ran out of the kitchen.
"YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME!" He scream echoed in Relena's ears as she rain down the stairs.
Heero let go off his head, and looked up. A trickle of blood ran down his face, his eyes narrowed, his teeth bared. Letting out a small hiss, he exited the kitchen and walked after Relena.
"You can't hide forever," he said, "I'll find you. I promise you that."
Relena ran back into her room and locked the door, gasping for air.
"It's a dream, it HAS to be a dream..." she whispered over and over.
She silenced herself once she heard footsteps nearing her bedroom door. She clasped her hands over her mouth, muffling her cries as the footsteps stopped...
'Go away, leave me alone, please...' She prayed.
She bit her hands to keep herself from screaming when she heard a knock. 'My God, he's found me,' she thought.
"Relena, are you in there? It's me, Quatre."
Recognising his voice, Relena let out a relieved cry and opened the door, and the sight before her was too much to handle. Her screams echoed throughout the Sanc Kingdom. Heero looked at her, grinning. In his arm was Quatre, two lines went to his chin from the sides of his mouth, like a dummy. His eyes were clouded. Heero's left hand was forced into the base of his neck, holding his jaw, moving it, and speaking to Quatre's mouth flaps. Blood dripped onto the floor and down Heero's arm.
"Did you like our surprise?" A dead Quatre asked.
Relena screamed again.
"Look who I found," Heero said in his normal voice, smirking. "You should answer Quatre's question: what did you think of our surprise?"
"You...you're a sick bastard, did you know that?!" She shrieked.
Heero could only smile, "It's not my fault. It's the Devil."
Relena slammed the door in his face and backed away.
"Do you really think a piece of wood can keep me away from you?" Heero's voice asked, "I want your blood, and I want it now."
Relena looked at her balcony door. She had no choice, she had to do this. She ran out onto her balcony, and grabbed onto the roof. With all her strength, she pulled herself onto the roof, and climbed.
