Author's Notes: A few explainations. After this, it shall return to the main idea. A little swearing on Duo's part.
Prophecy: Part 7
"Explain, now." Heero demanded, gun still trained on the pilots'. Trowa nodded and began the tale of Quatre's last battle with the Queen.
"Are you sure I can do this? I've only been Slaying for half a year Trowa. I'm not that strong." Quatre was nervous. He knew he was as fully trained as he could be, still the fact did not comfort him. He was going to battle a Queen with over 700 years experience. Trowa sighed and stood back against the wall. "You know you can win. Don't sell yourself short, Quatre." Quatre nodded, still not satisfied, his heart was telling him it was wrong.
Quatre cried out as the Queen threw another energy attack and hit him square in the chest. He dropped to his knees and tried to control his breathing. "You cannot win alone..." a voice whispered in his mind and he frowned, "Wha..??" The Queen charged and threw him to the ground fully. "Let me help you...." The voice whispered again and Quatre blinked. He looked up at the Queen just as she summoned another energy Attack and used both hands to pummel the energy into the boy. Quatre screamed out loud before the darkness overcame him....
Trowa stopped talking and looked to the other three pilots'. "I don't know what happened after that, because I started to fight for him, but she was beating me too. Quatre woke up after that and I don't know how, but, he threw an energy attack at her. She was stunned long enough for us to escape. Since then, his Psychic abilities have been, well, more powerful." The other three seemed to have accepted this when Duo spoke up. "Don't worry Q. I won't let them take your soul." Quatre looked up at Duo, stunned a minute before he spoke. "It's too late Duo, they have my Soul."
Duo stood and pulled out his stake heading over to the blonde, "Take it back" he demanded coldly, his stake barely touching Quatre's chest. Trowa stood to help the blonde when Heero jumped up ready and held him back. He looked questioning at the shorter pilot and silently questioned what was he doing. Heero shook his head "Let Duo do this. He needs to understand."
Duo was close to tears, how could the vampires do this again? To his best friend? Quatre quietly spoke to the braided pilot. "Duo, please, I'll explain, but please you have to trust me, okay?" Duo nodded and backed away slowly, stake still in hand.
Quatre bowed his head and sighed, "This will be painful for you Duo, I won't deny that. But what I have done, Is not Quatre's fault, In a way, I still am Quatre, just not completely." Duo had gone deathly pale and now sat quietly. Likewise Wufei was stunned, "Exactly what do you mean Winner?"
Quatre chuckled and began his tale. "Okay, to begin, I am not Quatre Winner, at least, not fully, He did die, fighting the Queen the first time. He is still here, but he is not strong enough to come through to you all the time." Quatre looked down again and lifted his head, his once blue eyes turning to a dark shade of brown. Duo stiffened, "Vampire eyes" he murmured quietly. The being formerly known as Quatre laughed a little. "Yes Duo, I am, well was, a vampire. You see, I was one of the vampires that was responsible for Maxwell Church's destruction. I was sorry for what I had done, and I wanted to redeem myself. The Lord above gave me a chance. He knew Quatre would fail and so when he fell in the lair, I was there. He gave up his soul in his body to me, I knew I could get them out alive and he agreed. Quatre is still here, but, I can't relinquish his body to him until the Queen is killed."
Duo was glaring at the blonde by the time he'd finished. "Why should I believe you? If Quatre is dead, He can't come back from that. I should kill you, just to let Quatre rest in peace." He stood up and advanced on the blonde again, before Heero caught his arm, "No Duo, he is telling the truth." Duo looked into Heero's eyes, "You knew? You knew we were living with a vampire the whole time?"
