Chapter 3 Part I
"Millardo, we need to talk. . . Now." Hilde says as Millardo comes down the stairs. He reaches the bottom to where Hilde stands with her arms crossed. The anger in her eyes is so fierce that it's all Millardo can focus on. So fierce that it distracts Millardo from noticing her bruised and bloody appearance. The pain is gone now and Hilde too is taken in by her own anger. She turns and heads for the study with Millardo following behind her. As they enter and close the door all the servants rush to the door to see if they can hear anything.
"The casket will be closed won't it Millardo?"
"What?"
"The casket holding Relena will be closed at tomorrows funeral." Millardo is silent. He walks over to a near by window and looks out. There is a long pause and when Millardo is about to answer Hilde the door to the study opens.
"HILDE!!! What happened to you!?" Says Sally as she runs up to the beaten German girl. Hilde tries to push her away but to no avail. Sally is quite a strong person, it even surprises Hilde that she is able to pin her. Sally holds Hilde's arms down and looks her over with a look like a frantic mother looking over her child. Hilde tries to calm Sally down by telling her that it is "Nothing to worry about."
"Like hell it isn't! Look at you! What happened!"
"That's what I want too…NO! Where did Millardo go!" He is no were to be found in the study. While Hilde was dealing with Sally, he took that time to escape Hilde's scorn. He knew Sally would keep Hilde at bay.
Hilde sits on top of a medical table in Sally's little med room. Hilde is impressed that this place would have it's own little hospital. It is a small room with a glass wall behind her that leads to Sally's office. The room consists of one medical bed, which Hilde is sitting on, cabinets and counters all around. However, judging by the architecture, this room was not always a medical room. Its design coincides with the rest of the castle.
"So… are you going to talk to me?" Sally says as she finishes dressing the wounds on Hilde's arm.
"No."
"Oh" says Sally.
"Well then, I guess you want to know about Relena, and how Duo fits in with all of this?" Sally smiles as she says this. She heard what Hilde had asked Millardo. Sally, before entering the study, had stood with the other servants at the door. When she heard silence she came in like she had just gotten there.
"Yes, tell me."
"It all started six years ago, when the Peacecraft's lived in Ireland. At that time Mr. Peacecraft lived with his two children, Millardo and Relena. I came to work for them in June when Mr. Peacecraft had become ill. Millardo, while his father was sick, took over the business. It was September when he left for a business related trip, what I don't know. All I know is that his departure marked the being of Relena's end."
"With her father dying and her brother gone, Relena was overwhelmed with grief. Millardo had gone to France and said he would return in three weeks, which soon changed to three months, and then his last letter said he was not coming back for another three years. Gratefully by the time that letter arrived, Mr. Peacecraft was getting better and was walking around. However, Relena remained depressed despite her father's recovery."
"She would read Millardo's letters over and over again, to the point where she could recite all of them in any given order. Those letters brought her a little happiness and she was pleased that her brother was happy, since that was what all his letters told her. Mr. Peacecraft however, was not pleased that his son would leave just like that. So, we packed everything up and we left for France, that's when we found the reason behind Millardo's extended stay, he had fallen in love. I can't remember her name…I never really got to know her, but from what I heard from Relena, she had some kind of power over her brother. When we reunited with Millardo, he had told us of his plan to marry the woman, despite Mr. Peacecraft's annoyance to the idea. He did not like the idea that his son was to marry an unknown woman and then live in her house! He always said "A man must build the house for the wife not the other way around!" Sally straightened up and put her hands on her hips. When she says Mr. Peacecraft's line, her voice becomes deep and she almost laughs saying it.
"What? You mean this does not belong to the Peacecraft's?"
"No. Not then, but now it does. Life went somewhat back to normal after Millardo married, however, Mr. Peacecraft did leave, he no longer wanted to be a part of this. After he left, I lost all communication with him." Says Sally as she looks up to Hilde hoping she would shed some light on too what happen to Mr. Peacecraft after his departure.
"I will fill you in later, but tell me how Duo fits in all of this!" Says Hilde with urgency in her voice.
"Alright. It was at the "Festival of Fools" held every year in October in the near by towns square. Millardo and his new wife where there along with Relena, I too was there. Millardo gave us the day off, that's when I saw him, Duo. He came up to Relena and asked her to dance. Millardo, of course, did not like this but…Noin! That's her name!"
"Who's . . . ?"
"Millardo's wife. She said it was all right and that Duo was an ok guy. I got the feeling the two knew each other. It was the way Noin looked at Duo, like she was expecting him to come?" She trails off thinking back to that moment when Duo and Noin's eyes locked. Sally saw something there…the two defiantly knew each other but by their eyes it must have been on unpleasant terms.
"So the two went to dance..." Sally says in an upbeat voice so she would wake herself from her trance. "…and during the whole time he was whispering something in her ear. I could not hear what it was but whatever it was it must have been something important for the two soon left. They where gone for sometime I remember too! I was worried, it was not like Relena to just up and leave. I was about to look for her till I saw Duo alone talking to another girl! I became really worried. I looked for her for the rest of the even. She did not appear till the very end of the festival. When I asked where she was, she told me she ran into the most wonderful guy. I asked if it was the young boy she danced with. She laughed and told me he was not interested in her but his friend was, he was just to shy. She told me his name…Hero Yuy." After saying his name a silence took over for a short period of time. Sally looks down and takes in a sad sigh.
"Hero Yuy. That guy…" She looks up to the ceiling. "I will never forget him. What Relena saw in him I will never know." She takes in another sigh.
"I'm telling you, that girl was not normal!" Duo was blue in the face from telling his comrades about the "unruly" maid at Millardo's. Duo was telling them his story over and over and he would not stop till he got the reaction he wanted. He wanted them to be as worried as him and agree that something should be done but all he got has their hard stare. Nether of the two boys who were with Duo spoke until...
"What are you trying to say, she is a what? A hunter? Don't make me laugh. The last hunter died when the master killed Richard Belmont. True there are ones who say they are hunters but they do not have the "hunter" blood. The bloodline died off thirteen years ago."
"Yeah? Then tell me why this girl could disobey me? Huh, tell me Hero?"
"Duo…did you let yourself in or were you invited in?"
"The butler let me in so I was invited." Duo said with closed teeth. His voice became almost a low growl. Hero is unmoved by Duo's growing anger.
"You were invited? Hero, maybe Duo is onto something." A boy around Duo's age is sitting by a window; he is the one who spoke. He too, like Duo and Hero, is in all black. "Trowa, don't be stupid. The bloodline of the hunters died with Richard Belmont. He was the last of the Belmont's. There are no others!"
"We must be sure." Said Trowa as he stood up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Said Hero.
"Just doing some digging. I want to make sure that Richard was the last of the Belmont's. If he is not, then this girl might be the end to us all." He looks over at Duo. "I want you to keep an eye on her. Make sure she never leaves your sights and report anything she does that seems suspicious."
"Hold on man! If I am right! If so, then she can kill me! I…I don't want to die just yet!" Hero gave Duo a death glare and Trowa still stayed emotionless.
"Duo…you are not a vampire. You are still half human. If she is of hunter blood then she can't sense you. If you stay out of view she wont know you're there." With that Trowa left Duo and Hero alone.
Smack.
"Ow! Hero!"
"Baka. Just don't do anything stupid while your there." Hero left.
Sally was done with dressing Hilde's wounds and was now sitting on the med table with her. She is swaying her legs back and forth like a child, but if you were to look into her eyes and study her face you will see a woman and not a child like she portrays now. Sally has eyes that could tell a story. You can tell she has been through a lot in the past years. Hilde almost felt sorry for her, for she could tell Sally must have had or is still having a hard life.
"Tell me about Hero." Says Hilde in a soft voice, as if she were ashamed for asking.
"There isn't much to tell…I never saw him, but Relena spent everyday with him. Millardo even locked her in her room." Sally laughs remembering that moment. Shaking her head she continues.
"Things got worse as time went by. It was the second year since the festival and Relena was sneaking out at night now. Duo would come over sometimes and would help her leave. When Millardo found out he banded Duo from ever coming. That's why the two don't get along."
"Well, if he was banded from coming here, why was he here last night?"
"I don't know…"
"What happened to Relena?"
"Well…let me come to that…now that I remember..."
"Remember what?"
"Noin, Millardo's wife. Have you seen her?"
"No. In fact I never knew he was married. What happened to her?"
"The last time I saw Duo before yesterday was a week before Relena's death. He came over and told Millardo he had to talk with Noin. Duo was different, he was almost dark. He had a voice that scared me to death! I never knew what he wanted but he did have a man with him. I never had seen him before. I heard him say he was called… Tre…uh…Tre. Shoot! What is his name?"
"Treize?"
"Yes! How did you know? Do you know him?"
"Uh…no. It is a popular name in Germany." She lied. Hilde knows the name because Treize is the new leader of the vampire fold. ("Damn them. Why did they have to get organized!") When Dracula was killed the whole vampire fold was destroyed making them weak and very easy to kill. Now with Treize and his Lady, it has become very hard for vampire hunters do their job.
"I went to bed after that…I don't know why but I became very tried. Well, the next day Noin was gone. When I asked Millardo he just yelled at me for an hour. After that I never asked again. Then a week later Relena died soon after her father. Poor Millardo."
"Thank you Sally. I need to go to bed now. It is late. See you tomorrow."
"Alright…WAIT!! Damn." Sally wants to know about Mr. Peacecraft but Hilde was already gone.
