This isn't like my normal stories mostly because this is
more serious then any of them. This is
about Zechs and how the ghost of Treize is haunting him. The ending is a little strange, but enjoy.
*************************************************************************
*Tallgeese II and Altron fought.
They sparked and flashed as metal hit metal and sword hit sword. Then in an instant Tallgeese was drifting on
in space and then exploded. *
I woke up suddenly from the dream. I was shaking and sweating. I sat up and tried to remember where I
was. The dream was still haunting my
mind. I glanced across the dirty hotel
room and saw Noin still asleep in her bed.
I got up and walked into the bathroom and washed my face. I looked at the mirror and saw I was pale,
paler then normal.
"Why, why."
I wondered to my self. This
wasn't the first time I had had this dream, and yet every time I always woke up
shaking and couldn't get rid of the haunting dream. Why was Treize haunting me, it had been five years since he died
and still his spirit would not rest quietly.
His face haunted me every minute of every day lately, was there
something he wanted from me? I looked
in the mirror again and I jumped when I saw Treize's reflection next to
mine. I looked next to me, but there
was nothing there. I looked back at the
mirror, but the image was gone.
"Treize, why are you doing
this to me?" I asked aloud.
"Zechs, are you okay?" I heard Noin asked from the room. I walked back into the room.
"I'm fine." I avoided her eyes as I went back to my
bed. I was relieved when she didn't ask
anymore questions. I closed my eyes and
tried to fall back to sleep.
*Zechs, why are you doing
this? You don't really feel anything for
what you're doing. Come join me, we can
rule the whole universe together. *
I opened my eyes and tried
to ignore Treize's voice echoing in my mind.
What did he mean by that I don't feel anything about what I was
doing. I looked over at Noin, she had
fallen back to sleep. Did he mean
I don't truly love her the way she
thinks I do. I realized that it was
true, I don't care for her the way she cared for me. The only thing I was doing by pretending was hurting her. I made my mind up then, I wasn't going to
hurt her anymore. I got up and changed
out of my pajamas and put on my regular clothes. I quickly packed up my stuff and walked to the door. I stopped before going out it, turned and
looked at Noin.
"I'm making the right
choice, I'm not going to hurt you anymore."
I turned around and walked out the door, never to walk back in.
It was snowing as I walked
through the cold and empty streets. I
didn't know where I was going or who I even was. Was I Zechs Marquise who had been Treize's close companion, or
was I Milliardo Peacecraft who had been Treize's worst enemy? I was just as lost in my heart as I was
walking that night.
I realized there was no
place for me in this world. Peace had
been achieved and I had no purpose anymore.
I walked and walked, I didn't care where I ended up, as long as I was
leaving the past behind me.
"You can't just walk away
from your problems, they'll always follow you.
You have to face the past to be able to move on to the future." It was his voice again, I couldn't escape
it.
"I don't have a future, I
was shown that." I continued walking
hoping he would leave.
"Why do you continue to
walk, there is nothing out there if you have no future?" He was right there still with me.
"Dammit Treize! Leave me alone! I'm no long a solider, a pawn for you to play with!" I yelled losing my temper.
"You never were." He responded. "You were so much more then that."
"Why do you do this? Why do you haunt me every minute? Why do you let me have no peace, no place to
escape?" I asked.
"You already know the
answer."
"If I knew the damn answer
would I be asking you?"
"I want to help you leave
the past behind. To begin a new life
where you can finally be at peace in your heart." I stopped walking and listened to him. "A place where who you were doesn't matter."
"Is there such a place?"
"If you want there to be, I
can show you."
"Show me. Let me leave this life and finally be at
peace." With those words I felt his
spirit take over me. "Sic transit
Gloria mundi."

Yes, that's the end. You have to decide what you think really
happened. Oh, the last quote is in
Latin, translated it means, thus passed away the glory of the world. Please review and tell me if you liked it,
flames are welcome.
PEACE, LOVE, QUATRE!
