Hi! Sorry I haven't updated up recently.
Please don't forget to review this.
*****************
Later that evening after dinner was done the boys and Hope went into the living room. As soon as Quatre sat down Hope climbed into his lap holding Mittens. Quatre smiled and wrapped his arms around her. Hope snuggled up to him contentedly.
The others saw this and a part of them deep down smiled at the scene, but then another part of them took control and reminded them they were in a war and didn't have time for such sentiments.
"Papa." Hope said in a fearful voice.
"What's wrong Hope?." Quatre asked concerned.
"Promise me you won't leave like Mommy and Daddy did." Hope said.
"What?" Quatre spoke surprised and confused.
The guys looked at Hope strangely when she said this and wondered what brought this on.
"Promise. The Bad people are coming." Hope continued
The guys circled around Quatre and Hope intrigued.
"Who are the Bad people?" Quatre asked
"Promise, Papa." Hope repeated
"I promise. Now who are the Bad people." Quatre asked again
"The ones who took Mommy and Daddy away. They're coming." Hope said and looked out the window. The boys followed her gaze. Looking out they didn't see anything. Grabbing binoculars Heero used them to look around. Heero was about to give up looking until he saw a glimmer of metal.
"Mobile suits are headed this way." Heero stated in a monotone.
Quatre looked at Hope surprised, but then immediately started taking action. Calling the Maguauac's Quatre explained to them what was headed here. Rashid immediately started to give out orders.
During all this Quatre had let go of Hope and she was just standing there looking out the window. Running towards the underground base Wufei noticed Hope wasn't with them. Cursing Wufei turned around.
"Wufei where are you going?" Duo asked.
"The little onna isn't here." He yelled taking off. Heading back up stairs he saw Quatre. Running towards him he yelled. "Winner, where's Hope?"
"I don't know." Quatre said worriedly. "She was looking out the window, but now she's disappeared."
Wufei cursed and began looking for her while. Quatre followed Wufei's suit and headed in the opposite direction. Wufei ran down the hall calling out Hope's name. "Hope where are you?" he called. Heading towards the garden he heard screaming. Without another thought he raced towards the screaming.
Bursting through the doors into the garden he saw Hope there screaming at some creature trying to drag her away. Taking out his katana he cut at the creature's arms and picked up Hope.
The creature roared in pain and glare death at Wufei. "Give me the child." It hissed
Hope cried even harder and hugged Wufei tightly.
"No." Wufei said firmly
"Then die." It hissed and charged at him.
Wufei dodged and ran away from it. He couldn't fight it with Hope in his arms and if he let her go the creature would try to take her. Putting away his katana in the process he then took out his communicator.
"Winner I have her get out of here now. We'll met you later." He said then cut off the communicator.
**************
Quatre sighed in relief and headed for Sandrock. Climbing in he took off knowing that Wufei would catch up with them later with Hope safe and sound.
***************
Hope was terrified as she thought back to the night her mother died.

Flashback
*****
Hope clung to her mother scared. There was a lot of noise and people yelling. She peeked out of her mother's chest just in time to see a monster appear behind them. Hope screamed in fright and her mother barely dodged the creature. Turning a corner Hope's mother stopped running and place Hope down. Looking at her daughter she smiled.
"Don't worry munckin. Everything will be fine."
Hope was about to reply when she suddenly saw the building fall towards them. Hope screamed in fright as her mother pushed her away. Hope opened her eyes to see her mother covered with half of the building and one of the big machines was directly behind her. Hope ran to her mother crying.
"Mommy!"
Coughing her mother smiled at her. "Don't worry Hope. I love you. Goodbye." Grabbing her daughter's hand she smiled into her daughter's eyes and in a flash of light Hope disappeared.
Hope was surrounded by light and then landed in a field. Looking around she didn't see her mother and she began to cry remembering her last words.
"Mommy!" she cried out in anguish.

End Flashback

Wufei turned the corner and skidded to a halt as the creature from earlier stood before him. "Give me that child." It demanded
With the memories fresh in her mind about her mother Hope looked at the monster and screamed. "Mommy!" As she yelled at the monster Hope began to glow with a Golden light.
Wufei looked at the child surprised. **What is going on?**
The creature backed up from the light in fear and hate.
Hope looked at the monster and smiled as a great calmness flowed into her. Jumping out of Wufei's arms she ran to the monster to Wufei's horror.
"Hope!"
Hope ignored him, ran to the monster, and hugged it. "You're crying inside. I'll help you. Don't be afraid. Mommy told me to help you." She said
The creature screamed as the golden light that surrounded Hope engulfed them both.
Wufei watched in horror, thinking he was watching her death. When the light died down Wufei stared. Before him stood Hope hugging a small boy who was crying. A blast from outside brought Wufei back to reality and he grabbed both children. He ran to Nataku and took off with both children inside.
Wufei fought the mobile suits as he escaped. Finally as morning dawned they had escaped. Sighing with relief he landed at a nearby forest. Once Nataku was hidden he looked at the two sleeping children.
Covering them up he was greatly confused. **What was that golden light and what happened to that creature?** This was what he thought as he slept waiting for the others to home in on his signal he sent directly to them.
******************
Quatre followed the signal sent and worried greatly for his daughter. He prayed that she was safe. **I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to her.** he thought.
*******************
Wufei looked at his surroundings in alarm. There was fog all around him. **Where am I?**
**You are in the dream world.** a woman's voice said
Whirling around Wufei saw a woman with raven hair smiling at him. **Who are you?** he demanded in his mind.
**Do not fear me. My name is Melody. I have come to tell you something.**
**What do you wish to tell me?**
**Help Quatre protect my daughter. She has a special gift and the people you are fighting wish to possess it. The creature you fought was the boy. He is special like Hope. You will come across four more such creatures. You must not destroy them. Let Hope heal them. Each one is a child with a special gift and is important to the world for its survival.**
**Why are they so important for this world's survival. They are just children.**
The woman smiled sadly at Wufei and said **That is something that only time can answer for you for I can not. Just know that they are and that each child's parents are counting on you to protect them since they were unable to.**
Wufei didn't like being a baby-sitter but nodded in somewhat understanding. **I give you my word.**
**Thank you.* She said and disappeared.
Wufei woke up and looked at the two children still asleep and said softly. "What have I gotten myself into?"
