Part 7
Trowa gave a low growl as he struggled to get out of the bounds that held him. He was handcuffed and heavily guarded. Then he heard footsteps coming towards him at his right. He could tell it was the rest of the gundam pilots except Quatre. After the others found out Quatre knew all along that Trowa was the wolf boy he was forbidden to visit him. 'Just for a safety precaution.' Sally said. He could feel Heero's and Wufei's glare pounding down at him but it didn't matter. He saw Duo on his other side.
"Trowa, why?" Duo asked. Trowa just gave a mere glance at him. He wouldn't give away about his family. If they found out that Moro was more then a legend they would hunt her down. Even his mother couldn't stand against their guns. Heero sighed knowing that Trowa wasn't going to talk.
"Let's go." He said and walked away. Trowa sighed as they left. He then turned his attention back to the cuffs that held him down. It was no use. All he could so was wait for one of his brothers to find him.
Quatre shifted uncomfortably in the chair he was sitting in. The glares that the others where giving him weren't helping him either. Then Heero, Duo and Wufei entered the room.
"Well?" Lady Une asked. They shook their heads no. Lady Une growled in frustration.
"Quatre, we know what Trowa's plans are. So please tell us." She begged as she rubbed her temples. She was trying to keep from going into her pist off mood. Quatre shook his head no.
"I don't know anything. Neither does Trowa. He only does what his family tells him." Quatre said. His eyes widen one what he just said. You idiot! You weren't supposed to say anything about Trowa's family! Everyone was now staring at him more intensely.
"What do you mean Trowa's family? I thought his only family is Catherine." Noin said.
"Quatre, please tell us what's going on." Sally pleaded. Quatre wanted to tell them but he knew that Trowa didn't want them to find out Moro. He hung his head down in defeat.
"I'm sorry but I can't tell. I made a promise not to tell." Quatre whispered. Then came a low rumbling sound.
"What was that?" Zech's asked.
"I don't know but it wasn't me." Duo said. Then the rumbling got louder.
Trowa frowned as he heard the rumbling sound. It sounded very familiar. Then it hit him. Stampede! The boars where on a stampede straight through here!
"Quatre!" Trowa shouted as he desperately tried to break through the cuffs. He had to get Quatre out of the way. Nothing can stop the boars from a stampede. He'll get crushed to death.
Quatre frowned. Something was very wrong and the rumbling sound was getting louder. His space heart tingled. Trowa was trying to call out to him. He got up and immediately ran towards him.
"Quatre!" Duo shouted. The all took off after him. Quatre slowed down when he finally saw Trowa. He was desperately trying to get out of the cuffs. Soon Trowa saw him.
"Quatre get out of here! It's a stampede!" he shouted. Quatre was about to run towards him when all of a sudden a herd of boars ran through. Someone pulled Quatre back from being hit by the charging boars and he fell in a ditch.
"No!" Quatre cried as he saw a boar ran through Trowa. He saw Wufei holding him back. Quatre looked through the charging boars hoping to find Trowa. He saw a flash of white through the legs. It was Trowa. He was trying to avoided getting hit by the boars. He was still cuffed but his legs where free. Even with his legs free Trowa was having trouble standing up. Quatre shouted as he saw another boar crash right into Trowa knocking him to the ground.
"Quatre!" a voice cried out. Quatre looked and saw Swift and Silence running towards him as fast as they could. Quatre broke free from Wufei's hold and ran towards them.
"Trowa was caught in the stampede!" Quatre shouted pointing through the stampeding boars. Swift immediately charged through the boars but was knocked back out.
"No! Trowa!" Silence shouted as he tried to get through the tight pack. The two wolves where trying every possible way to get through their youngest brother but each time they got thrown out. Within minutes Silence and Swift where all battered and bruised.
"Watch out!" Lady Une shouted as a boar fell and was coming right towards Quatre. Swift jumped up and grabbed Quatre's shirt and pulled him roughly on top of his back and jumped over the boar. He landed next to Sally. Sally checked Quatre for any injuries but found none. A savage growl was heard behind them. Everyone looked and saw Moro running towards them.
"Mother! Trowa-" Silence began but Moro jumped up and landed in the middle of the stampede running through it trying to find Trowa. Soon everyone lost sight of Moro through all the boars.
"Where is she?" Quatre asked. Then something white jumped over the stampede of boars and landed not far from them. It was Moro and she hand a badly injured Trowa in her jaws. She gently laid him down and started licking his wounds. Swift and Silence ran towards their mother to check on Trowa.
"Trowa." Quatre whispered as walked towards them.
"Quatre stop." Sally hissed but Quatre ignored her and gently held Trowa's head. He had a large bruise on one side of his face and lots of cuts all over his body. He was gasping for breath.
"Come on. Where taking him to the forest spirit." Moro said as she gently lifted Trowa up with her jaws. Being careful not to make his injuries worse.
"The forest spirit?" Quatre asked. Silence lowered himself down to allow Quatre to get on top. Quatre climbed onto of the giant wolf pup and they all walked into the forest.
"Quatre!" Duo shouted as he watched his best friend ride away with the wolves. Heero held him back.
"Where those wolves?" Wufei asked.
"I think that was the family Quatre was talking about." Noin said.
"Well look for them in the morning." Zech's said and everyone nodded.

Quatre stared at the small island in the middle of the lake. It was the same place he saw when he first entered the forest. Moro walked into the lake with Trowa still in her jaws. Quatre didn't know whether or not to follow Moro. Soon Moro crossed the small lake and stepped on the little island. She gently places Trowa on the edge of the island.
"You go back home. I'll stay here with him tonight. Hopefully the forest spirit will here our pleas and save him." Moro said worriedly. The wolves nodded and walked back towards the cave. Quatre looked behind him and saw Moro gently nuzzling Trowa. He saw something he never thought he'd saw. A small teardrop in the corner of Moro's eyes.

Moro looked down at her son. Trowa was having more trouble breathing.
"Mother, Qatre." Trowa gasped as he tossed his head back and forth. He was starting to get a fever but was shivering from the cold. Moro gently placed her tails on him hoping to keep him warm. She nuzzled Trowa and licked his cheek as a small kiss.
"Please make it my little one. We all need you. Especially the one that loves you." Moro whispered. It soon started to rain. Moro looked up at the sky.
"Please forest spirit, hear my pleas. Save my youngest son." Moro begged silently. Tears spilled over her eyes. One fell on top of Trowa's nose. Trowa's breathing was heavier.
"Quatre." He whispered.
