Chapter 1: It Enters
Heero glanced at his clock, why can't I fall asleep he thought. Oh well, I'm thirsty,
his brain told him. He crept out of his bed, noiselessly making way for the kitchen. He found his
way in and grabbed a glass for some water. After it slowly fell through the little hole in the
refrigerator he pursed his lips and felt the cool liquid run down his throat when he heard it.
But what was it? He sneaked out the front door still pondering what it was. He peered up and down
the street where everything seemed fine. Then, it hit him, a chill so could it would have killed
a normal man, but Heero wasn't a normal man.
The chill, he knew, was no ordinary chill. It was something trying to get into him, and
it had succeeded. Then, he knew where it was. It was entering the fortress that held no fear, it
was entering his brain.
He knew the only way to fight it was in his sleep, but he didn't know if he could defeat
it. He thought for a second then stopped. It could read his thoughts. He slipped back into the
house and made for his bed preparing himself for the fight of his life. Then, ready, he closed
his eyes.
