Author's Notes: So tell me honestly, Who didn't see that Quatre wasn't Quatre? hehehe. Don't worry, if it still doesn't make sense, Well, I'm working on it.




Prophecy: Part 8
Three weeks later......
"Yah!" Duo shot out with the stake, only barely missing the dark figure as he spun away. The figure flipped back towards Duo, before he could bring his arm back around and Duo's arm was caught. The figure pulled his arm behind his back and tilted Duo's head. "Chomp" Quatre said, releasing the braided pilot. "Aww Man" Duo whined. "Why? How? What do I have to do to beat you?" Quatre grinned an impish grin, "You have to kill me."
Trowa and Heero watched the two from the shadows. Duo was improving in the past two weeks, they both could see that, and Quatre was finally gaining back some of his trust. They both knew what it had taken for the other boy to get him to see it still was him, just not completely all the way through.They knew the up coming battle could go either way, although hopefully with Quatre's vampiric abilities and Duo's new confidence, they could win.

The Queen growled, watching the two Slayers sparring. "How do I beat the two of them now?" She wondered, and stalked back into the shadows.

Quatre shivered and stopped sparring, only to have Duo slam him in the head. "Aw, Man, I am so sorry.. I didn't mean to..." "She's here." Quatre said quietly, his eyes fading to brown. Duo frowned, "Who's here?" "The Queen," Quatre whispered and bounded over to where he knew the two watchers were watching them.

Trowa already knew something was up. He frowned and Heero raised an eyebrow, "She's here." Quatre, out of breath from panic ran forward to the two. "We got trouble." he stated as a voice whistled on the breeze.
"You can't beat me, Slayers. Oh yeah, Blondie, I want my power back." The four pilots' turned, trying to find the voice. Quatre whipped his head around in obvious panic. "She's trying to take my empathy. I can feel it. Ahhh!!" he cried out and arched forward before falling to his knees. He looked up to Duo, afraid, before an idea came. "Duo, please forgive me" He latched on to Duo's forearms and concentrated, the white light engulfing his body. He lifted his head to look Duo in the eye and pulled him forward, placing his lips on Duo's. Duo's eyes widened as he felt heat engulf his body and he slumped forward, unconscious. A single tear streaked down Quatre's cheek and he gasped, falling back with Duo into unconsciousness.
