AN: Here is long awaited chapter *sweatdrops* it is pitifully short; but I could not make myself write anymore so here you go. The next one will come sometimes before Christmas if I can get another chapter written before I go to Tennessee for my Christmas Vacation. If not then it will be as soon as I can get it up. It's a twelve-hour trip I will definitely have plenty to write ne?

Holding her head Hilde fought back the urge to throw something. There was a lovely vase next to her bed that she was contemplating throwing, it looked just a little bit fine for her. And she figured that either she was going have to sit here until someone came and told her why she was all the sudden seeing things and how to make this god forsaken headache to go away. Groaning lightly she clutched her head what the heck was happening to her? Opening her eyes once more she looked around painfully and then closed them once more. They were still there that was great, fine and all that was peachy. Where there hell had all the wall hangings come from and the cheeriness and the servant's and the list went on and on and on. It just went on. Pecking one eye open again she bit her lip when the seen didn't change.

"This is not good is it?" She questioned the night air, she didn't know how she knew it was night but it was.

"Depends on how you take it." Came a soft voice though it held that growl in it that only one person could have.

Blinking at him in confusion she shook her head again, he was pulling at her again. Almost unconsciously she imagined a wall and suddenly it was there and he was no longer pulling.

Gaping in shock she felt tears pull at her eyes. "What is going on?" She questions hoarsely now that she had used her gift, unconsciously yet still used it, her headache was gone and she found that she could think normally again. And with that normalcy came questions and with that came the demand for answers.

"I am not totally sure but your total capabilities were awakened quiet harshly at that. They were coming around slowly on their own and by the time you were 30 you would have been at the point you are now. Something happened downstairs and they awakened on their own. My guess, in self-defense of you. Gifts are curious things but they never fail their person if they can help it."

"Why?"

"Why?"

"Why the hell is this happening. Why me? Why did she come after me? Why didn't you warn me, why…"

"Hold on one question at a time." Came his amused growl.

"Well you asked." She grumbles sitting back irritated at glimpse of laughter that she had seen in his eyes.

"I know I know but it would be better if the others were here to help me answer your questions."

"The others?" She questions her own eyes darkening with fear.

"Yes, the others, my friends who have been watching over you since you came here."

"Oh you mean those voices." She murmurs softly her eyes flickering around the room as if searching for something. In reality she was, she was looking for anyone who might look familiar.

"Voices?" Duo questions.

"Yes, I have been hearing voices around the castle lately." She says softly as if she was waiting for him to punish her for not telling him this earlier.

"What kind of voices?" He asked gently, all the while his mind working rapidly. If she was hearing things then she was far more advanced than even he had imagined. That wasn't good it was hard enough on him when his powers had started to emerge when he was a lad and he had had the best mages and magicians to help him understand his life. Shaking his head he once again found his mind wandering down the same road; he was horrible under qualified for this.

"Just voices, here and there, I don't know." She says softly still not sure if he was going to strike out at her or not.

"Sally." Duo called his voice returning to its original tone. "Come in here and bring the others."

Twenty minutes later and one way to many introductions Hilde was on the verge of collapsing. She was so tired her eyes were drying out her head was stuffy and she would swear up and down her bones hurt.

"I think that we have taxed her enough." Sally says watching Hilde as she blinked more grime out of her eyes.

"I am alright." Hilde mumbles sleepily.

"No your not now get some sleep. Your still not completely healed from the trauma this afternoon. Now get some sleep we will still be here tomorrow."

"You never know." Hilde mumbles sleepily drinking the stuff that Sally practically shoved down her throat. Watching the people in front of her start to disappear she shook her head.

"What…. was…in….tha…" She says whispers before dropping her head onto the pillow.

"What did you do to her?" Duo demands worry showing on his features.

"Relax, Duo it was just a sleeping draught she will sleep through until morning."

"That had better be all." He growls before stomping out of the room.

"That had better be all." Sally mimics while rolling her eyes.

"Don't let him hear you woman or the entire world will come down on your ears."

Chuckling softly Sally kisses his check. "Don't worry I am not worried one iota of a bit." Giving the rest of the guys a quick wave and grin she heads out of the room chuckling at the confused expression on Wufei's face. Ah, she loved messing with that mans head it was so easy. Especially messing with Wufei's.

~~~

Blinking through the haze of darkness that was trying to seep back into her brain she shook her head dispelling the last of it. "And the world continues its spinning." She groans holding her head before falling back down on the bed.

Swinging her feet over the side of the bed she puts her weight on them hesitantly, when her head didn't threaten to explode and she didn't feel like she was going to fall over, she shrugged and stood up.

"Well there you are finally getting up I see."

Looking up Hilde was meet with the site of tall, beautiful, oriental women who, oddly enough, had blond hair.

Smiling weakly she quirks her brow. "Sally?"

"Yes, that is me."

And there for a moment I thought I was going to wake up and this was going to be a bad dream."

"I am afraid not and its going to get worse."

"Peachy." Hilde murmurs.

"I know how you feel."

"What was it like?"

"What was what like?"

"Waking up and being invisible. From what I have picked up it just hit, what happened?"

"Detail's?"

"Yes that would be nice."

"It's a long story and I don't think the guys are going to appreciate it."

"They're not here and I want to know I need to know. Whatever that thing was she has added me to the group. Sally she wanted whatever my gift is she tried to steal it from me. And in that second I knew that I knew she would kill me to take it and I knew that she was the one who did this to you all. I have to know what I am fighting here Sally. Please help me."

Sighing softly Sally shook her head. "Sit down and get comfortable honey this is going to take a while."

~~~

"Heero, lighten up this is going to be the best night of our lives." Duo says his violet eyes sparkling with humor as he goaded his best friend.

"Duo, shut up." Heero growled darkly his eyes dark as he surveyed the room furiously.

"You know how to ruin a party man you know how to ruin a party, and oh my god is that Sally? Damn she knows how to clean up."

"Wufei will skin you alive if he hears you talking about her."

Shrugging Duo looked around once more before groaning. "God she is here again. Hide me." He snarls grabbing Trowa who was standing next to him and shoving him in front of him.

"What the women in red?" Quatre questions.

"Yes, she wants me to marry her daughter but good God no." Shuddering he shakes his head. "I want someone to love me for me for crying out loud not because I have the largest kingdom in land."

"I am not really sure what happened later that night. I do know Duo told her that he would never marry her daughter. I do know she became very angry and tried to kill him and he lashed out unintentionally, his powers are very dangerous when he is mad." Shrugging Sally sighs softly. "There was a lot of screaming I was knocked out or I might have been able to help but from what I was able to get from the guys. She became pissed and cursed him to this life saying that her daughter could never have him then no one was going to get him." Shaking her head Sally's lips quirked into an ironic smile. "So we started abducting girls when they came into the palace, we didn't really have a choice." She murmurs softly shaking her head.

"So he was turned into a beast and he thinks that he can just kidnap us girls because he doesn't have a choice?" Hilde questions incredulously.

"I know it doesn't make sense but, don't judge him by his actions." Sally says softly despair starting to creep into her own voice. Had she just ruined there last chance at freedom?

"I, Oh Sally." Hugging the older women she smiled at her depressed face. "Don't worry okay? I understand how you feel."

Shaking her head Sally smiled shakily at the retreating back of the girl. She amazed her she really did.

"You should not have done that."

"She asked Wufei and there was no she can not learn the story in my dialog box so if you will just excuse me."

Reaching out Wufei gently but firmly grabs her arm. "What happened that night Sally? You suddenly just stopped caring why?"

"I did not stop caring I just realized that it wasn't meant to be." Jerking away from him she blinked back her tears. It was better this way it just had to be.

She never saw the look of desperation that stole over his face or the determined look that soon followed. If she had she might have stayed a moment longer but as it was she had to get to work. She had things to do and places to go and right now she didn't think she could handle the confrontation.

"I will get you back Sally." He whispered to the winding breeze. "I will get you back."

~~~

Waking up with a gasp Hilde shook her head as pain ripped back through her body. "Make it stop." She whimpers softly shaking her head her short hair that was framing her face as tears pored down it.

She kept having the same dream only this was not the dream that she had been getting before the damned thing had started. That woman was getting on her nerves.

All she wanted was to live a normal life. And then there was the dream about Relena. Closing her eyes she shook her head. Her friend needed her she could feel it but how was she to help her? It was like all the sudden there was these thousand links that showed her everything she needed to know.

It was amazing she could walk by plants now and they would bloom the castle came alive under her touch. She wasn't sure of what to make of it exactly but she was mystified but she also found it intriguing.

Someday she was going to find how come she had these abilities and no one else did. Until then she was going to find out how to fix the women down stairs. Her power was growing she could feel it and it scared her. It was like it never stopped the death that was growing was different from Duo's but was more of a sucking death. Duo just killed in this form he couldn't help it but at times she could almost see the man he would become once the spell was broken and the man he had once been. She had even gotten a flash of a braid the other day when he had passed by her as they walked in the garden. She wasn't sure what all of this meant she never was. Holding her head in her hands she urged her trembling to stop. She was tired of being scared and she was tired of being tired. One day this was going to stop.
