Mortal Plague
Chapter Seven
Duo stared out into the empty void of space as he tried to think of what he was going to do. His conscience was killing him for leaving her, more so than the cursed virus. He closed his eyes and buried his face in his hands. What could he have done for her? She didn't need his pity, she needed a cure. His heart was beating faster than normal and he knew he was going to pass out. He looked up as tiny white spots appeared in his vision. He sat up straighter trying to fight the dizziness. She can't die, so many already have. "I can't lose another one, I just can't."
Memories are just where you need them
Dragging waters 'til the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was it something you left behind?
Don't you remember everything I told you, when I said
Pictures of Father Maxwell and Sister Helen flashed into his vision. "NO please God I can't…please…No!" He screamed with tears running down his face as he was dragged into buried memories. {"Duo little Duo where in heavens name did you go boy," came Sister Helen's voice. Duo stayed underneath the table and tried to hold back the laughter that was bubbling inside of him. Letting his guard down for only a moment a tiny giggle escaped and his position given away. "Ah there you are," she burst out laughing as he ran from underneath the table giggling profusely.
"Why young Duo what are you getting into now?" Father Maxwell stepped into the room where Sister Helen and a now caught and tickled Duo presided. Duo didn't respond only kept laughing as Sister Helen found every ticklish part of his body. "Alright you two it is time for evening prayers, Little Duo did you remember your cross and rosary?" Duo settled down and looked up at the kind man who was almost like a father to him. He smiled and nodded his head his violet eyes sparkling and filled with happiness newly found. As they all lay their heads down to pray a massive explosion rocked the church and they all collapsed into a heap on the ground. Men and women, cut, bleeding and dirty poured into the church and started to spray bullets out side of the open doors.
"Everyone close those doors move around and look for any signs of life."
"Excuse me young man but this is the house of God you can't bring weapons in here," Father Maxwell said standing in front of what seemed to be the leader. With one swift movement the man hit the Father with the butt of his gun and Sister Helen screamed as he fell to the floor. "Stop this For God's Sake please leave us in peace…Aaaahhh," Sister Helen screamed as the man's hand connected with her face in a sickening slap.
"Both of you shut up you don't know what this is about!"
"Hey just get out of here we were happy now just get out," Duo screamed feeling his anger rising.
"Heh heh look what we got hear fellows a little priest, hey listen kid if you want us to leave get us one of those mobile suits." All the other soldiers burst out laughing at the thought of a tiny kid stealing a mobile suit from the Alliance.
"Fine I'll get a stupid mobile suit but then you have to leave," Duo yelled as he ran out the door and into the battered streets. The last thing he heard was Sister Helen's plea for him to stay.}
Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my
In my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands, Love lies bleeding
{Duo stared at the at the giant mound of burnt rubble and wooden skeletons that had once been the Maxwell Church. As he stepped over stones and burning splinters he scanned for any signs of Father Maxwell and Sister Helen. He gasped as he tripped over something he hadn't noticed. As he turned around to look at the thing he tripped over he held back a scream as he stared into the eyes of one of the women who had invaded the church. Her face was twisted into a silent scream and blood dripped over her face from a gaping bullet wound in her head. Duo felt his stomach turn and he turned his head away not able to look at the ghastly scene. As he did this he saw another still figure and he felt his heart drop. He jumped to his feet and ran to where Father Maxwell lay. Duo knelt next to the old priest and set his hands on the ground in order to steady himself, as he did so he felt something warm and sticky oozing between his tiny fingers. He looked down and paled, dark crimson liquid covered his palms and fingers. He turned his eyes towards Father Maxwell crushed and broken body before jumping and running through the wreckage. A stifled cry made him stop and he turned to where it had come from.
"D-Duo…" came a weak voice from his left. He ran towards it and collapsed next to Sister Helen. Her nun's cap was missing and her golden blond hair now caked with blood lay flowing around her. Her sky blue eyes where dull with pain but fresh with unshed tears. "Duo thank heaven your safe," she gasped as a streak of pain ripped through her body.
"Sister, Father he's, he's…"Duo bit back the last word unable to speak it.
"Dead I know my child, he has gone on to Heaven…and I shall soon be joining him." Duo let out a sob as he cradled her head in his lap as she struggled to speak, "May God protect you my…ugh," her body convulsed in his hands and she fell still. Her eyes staring into nothing as a solitary tear rolled from them. Duo felt an uncontrollable urge rip through his body and he wailed at the top of his lungs as the only true family he had ever known lay dead around him.} Duo opened his eyes and gasped for air as the memories slowly faded back into his mind. He quickly regained his composure still trying to pilot the ship. His face was wet with sweat and tears and the corners of his mouth where coated with fresh blood.
Oh hold me now I feel contagious
Am I the only place that you've left too cold
She claims that life is like some movie black and white
Dead actors, vacant lies
Over and over again she cries
They died because of me," he whispered as fought back the tears, "Well I'm not about to lose her." He pushed in the thrusters and the shuttle flew faster towards an uncertanty. "Hilde if you can hear me I WILL SAVE YOU."
~~*~~*~~*~~
Hilde looked away from the kind priest as she heard a familiar voice ringing through the church as if it was everywhere.
"I WILL SAVE YOU!"
And I Wanted you turned away
You don't remember but I do
You never even tried
"Duo?" Her eyes searched for him but all she could see was the kind nun and preist.
Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
