here's chapter 8 again if it's getting too rough yell and the name nataku was given to me by kei k ^_^ * hugs* ele
" ELENOR!!"
The voice ripped through the silence of the gundam gym, cruelty ringing out through its empty corridors. Huddled in a darkened cupboard an answering whimper could be heard, as the young child pressed herself tighter against the wall, her tiny form trembling as heavy footsteps drew nearer and nearer to her hiding place.
" Please don't find me please don't find me" she sobbed into her knees, rocking herself back and forth in terror as the door handle of her sanctuary began to turn.
Blinding light filled her vision as the door was viciously ripped open, he'd found her, she couldn't even make a sound of fear as he lunged forward, tangling his fingers in her pale blonde hair and hauled her out onto the landing. Silent tears streaking her cheeks as she clutched at his hand, trying to ease the pain her scalp was in as he hauled her down the gothic corridors by her hair, dragging her struggling form behind him.
" DID YOU NOT HEAR ME CALLING?!!" he roared hauling her up by her arm and shaking her violently, her fragile form tossed like a rag doll in his giant grip
" I'm sorry daddy" she sobbed, her face draining of colour as she knew what was coming, his fist connected with the side of her cheek, her vision blurring for a second as blissful darkness tried to claim her through the numbing pain.
" No you don't" he snapped slapping her face and keeping her conscious " you're not half as sorry as I am…7 children 6 oh whom were sons…destined to be great gundam trainer and never born, then you the 7th a pathetic little wimp who kills your mother in labour….all I've done for you and how selfish you are, gundam isn't good enough you have to bring home a stray pretty boy!!"
She kept her eyes firmly fixed on the floor, she knew better then to look at him, she didn't even raise her hand to wipe away the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, but her silence only enraged him further.
" You disgust me! Why wont you die?!" he snarled , his black eyes flashing as he threw he down the great oak staircase, her small body tumbling down, the image of her father silhouetted against the great planet window as he glared down at her, his face filled with loathing. Her ribs buckling as they fell heavily on the stone flagstones below, her head cracking of the floor with a sickening thud.
Gasping, the wind knocked from her, she opened her green eyes slowly, her body aching as she released a choking sob. On the floor a short way off lay her duo chibi, face down in his own blood, his throat slit.
" No..Nononono" she babbled hysterically crawling over and shaking his body, her hands becoming stained with a crimson blush. He'd killed duo to hurt her, she buried her face in his back, her tears mingling with the blood.
" That's right Eleanor your protectors dead, laughed Domonic Chang, walking down the stairs slowly, blade in hand
" Shhhh but don't cry Eleanor" he murmured quietly, placing a hand on her shaking shoulder and stroking the pale silken strands of her hair " you'll be with him soon enough" he whispered. The girl turned to see the sword raised above her, her eyes going wide in terror she scrabbled backwards. Petrified she ran for the nearest door, not looking back as the heavier footsteps gave chase.
Grasping the metal door handle with both hands she wrenched it open slamming it shut behind her and drawing the bolt across, collapsing against it hyperventilating in fear, her eyes closing.
As they opened she found herself staring across an arena at the dragon prince, a child no more, but Elspeth Chang, but still just as afraid. Wufei turned green glowing eyes on her as she stepped away from bleeding Shinigami. His form grew taller, the gym bathed in green light, as his energy made the very air vibrate.
" ONNA" he roared, his jealousy driving him insane. Elspeth remembered this……when he'd hit his 5th evolution the earth dragon. She backed up quaking at the god in front of her, he with the power to level cities at whim. The wings unfurled across the arena, scales rising above his eyes that now shone yellow. With a serpents scream power exploded from him, fuelled by his evolution and rage. Elspeth hissed in pain as her skin felt on fire, her body flung back against the wall as he advanced.
She left her broken body on the floor and ran, but through the door was Domonic and as she turned back to Wufei she saw him and her outside genesis, when he'd split open her arm, she couldn't trust him………….
" He's going to kill you he's going to kill you run run run" came a Childs voice through the air. Her father, Wu without Shin she was dead they'd get her. She ran faster, the floor turning to treacle, which she sunk further into, struggling to get away, feeling them behind her.
With desperate hands she reached out and grabbed the ledge of a window floating above her, hauling herself out of the sticky grave. With relief she shut her eyes to jump as a Maxwell voice yelled out desperately
"EL NO IT'S JUST A DREAM!!" but she jumped, out into freedom, away from those who could hurt her
"ONNA!!" Ele awoke with a sudden jerk, her body feeling oddly weightless. Looking down with sleep groggy eyes she gasped panicking, her body dangling four floors above the ground, reflexively she gripped the arms round her shaking. She'd nearly killed herself; she'd jumped from the balcony of her room out into the still night air sleepwalking.
" Shhhh Nataku it's alright it was only a dream onna," whispered Wufei shakily, clutching his wife tightly, trying to keep his voice calm, his heart racing as he kept them both airborne. To his surprise the woman turned ridged glancing up at him with wide fear filled eyes.
" Let me go get away!!" she hissed struggling, sweat beading her forehead as her breath came in rapid gasps. The dragon placed her back on the balcony and backed away confused
" Onna?" he asked slowly stepping towards her, to his dismay she shrank back terrified, grabbing her sword from the wall and pointing it at his throat
" Back don't touch me!!"
Closing his eyes in pain, he nodded turning away
" As you wish nataku..But I fail to see what I have done" he got no answer as the blonde ran into her room locking the window, leaving her husband out in the cold, taking off in dragon form to think what had scared his wife so badly as to fear him, what on earth had she seen within her dreams?
" This stinks," muttered the demon on the roof above, her eyes flashing black as she chewed her lip thoughtfully. Folding her wings away, she turned, walking across the roof and dropping off the edge, landing cat like below her braid twitching.
Lese walked back into the gym and glanced around running up the stairs to the third floor and hurrying down the boy's dormitory. Knocking quietly at the door at the end, she waited as it opened a crack, silver eyes looking back at her
" Hn nani?" grunted the occupant, glaring the hell princess pushed open the door and walked in leaving a very odd looking Heero glaring at her arms folded over chest.
" Binary I need you to check for anything weird for me, ya know large shipments…nerve gas, weapons, what genesis is doing all that fun stuff I know you love" she smirked perching on the section of his bad that wasn't covered with cables.
The boy sat down at his computer grunting, taking a cable from the back of his modem and plugging it into the base of his neck. For a second his eyes flashed as information scrolled across the screen lightning fast, bathing the dark room in an eerie green hue
" I'm doing this why?" he monotoned while letting his brain expand across the web.
" Because a something weird is happening and b oddly enough ya the only techno organic walking bad attitude computer I know" grinned the girl at her adopted son
" I'll need Jules for this" he growled, cables snaking from his hands and fusing into the power socket on the wall.
" Whatever babe, but I know something's up" whispered Shinigami's sister " Ele just acted like Wu was Charlie Manson" the boy raised an eye brow surprised as he connected to the off world gyms computer, making Jules frown at the screen and begin searching as binary explained the problem
After 3 hours lese was loosing hope and was becoming very bored of staring at Binary's ceiling, she got up to leave, stepping through all the equipment across the floor before being stopped
" You were right okassan…….heavy trade at the under ground dojo…..bio tech equipment….going to a Alaric Kalesh" the bishojo turned frowning
" English star trek"
" Machines that talk to your brain…" sighed the Heero exasperated, rubbing his temples and blinking, his eyes feeling dry. Lese crouched by him putting her hands on his shoulders, her violet eyes worried
" Ary this Alaric…he…"
" Works for genesis" confirmed the child
" Oh shit," swore the bishojo, it was time to go back to the gladiator tournaments and raise hell.
