Author's notes: the death in this one is a little more, well, gruesome, please be warned. Nothing really new in developements just yet, but, I'm getting there!!
Duo yawned as the morning sun forced him to wake up. "Ugghh" he groaned and slowly rose to greet the new day. He stumbled out into the hall and passed the other pilots' rooms, when his senses told him to turn around. He turned and came face to face with Quatre, wielding a crossbow. Duo frowned until the blonde leapt forward and fired a bolt. "What are you doing??" he screeched as he flipped backwards - and woke up as he hit his bedroom floor. Eyes wide he blinked before groaning and covering his eyes with an arm. "Duo?" Quatre's voice asked and Duo flipped onto his feet and pounced, grabbing him in a headlock, "You're not going to fire a crossbow bolt at me are you?" Quatre's eyes bugged, "What?? Duo!!" he pushed against Duo's arm until he let go, he fell onto the floor and stared up at the crazy pilot. "You know, when she cut your hair, I didn't think it would affect you this much! What's gotten into you?" Duo blushed, "Sorry buddy, I had another dream and this time, you attacked me." Quatre frowned and stood, "maybe we should find Heero. Maybe he'd know something.." Duo shook his head "NO, It's okay, Q! I'm entitled to a few nightmares aren't I?" Quatre bit his lip, unsure, Duo grinned and slung an arm around his friend, leading him out the room. "Don't worry"
The shadow watched as the small blonde was lead away by the Slayer. It smiled "Slayer, when will you learn to ask for help?"
Duo spent the rest of the day relaxing. He hadn't realised how much those nightmares had worn him out until he found himself unable to keep his eyes open. He yawned and lay down on the couch he was on. He had barely gotten comfortable before he was asleep.
Sister Helen cried out in pain as the mercenaries attacked the church. "No!!" she sobbed. "The children!!" she reached a hand out to the burning church as the screams died away. One of the mercenaries turned to her. Fangs slid into place as he morphed into his true form and Sister Helen gasped through tears. "You, You're a ..." the Vampire rolled its' eyes impatiently. "Yes yes sister, may God have mercy on your soul." So saying he plunged his hand through the habit she wore and into her chest. She choked out a cry as the claws penetrated skin and muscle alike. The vampire grinned and ripped her heart from her chest, showing it to her. Unable to do anything more, her mouth opened in horror as she fell into her final sleep. The Vampire grinned again and bit into the heart, "mmm, haven't had one of these in a while"
Duo screamed in terror and flew up off the couch. Wufei, hearing the scream was in the room in an instant, an apple in hand. Duo took one look at the apple and his eyes narrowed into violet slits as he lunged at the Chinese boy. Wufei's own eyes widened as he moved to the left out of the not-so-braided pilots' way. Duo growled and turned, intending to attack again. Wufei dropped the apple and assumed his fighting stance. "Maxwell!! You're dreaming! Wake up!" Duo screamed out loud and tried to punch the other boy. Wufei quickly dodged and swept him off his feet before tumbling back away out of range. Duo cried out and flipped to his feet, kicking out at Wufei. Calmly Wufei grabbed hold of his foot and twisted so he fell to the floor. Before Duo could move to stand again Wufei pinned him to the floor. "Maxwell, Duo, you have to wake up." he calmly started talking to the boy.
Duo became aware of being pinned. He jerked forward and opened his eyes, coming face to face with Wufei, pinning him. "Wufei?" he croaked, "What's going on?" Wufei frowned, "You don't remember?"
