Trin sat up in her bed her eyes wide, gasping for air. She looked about the
room wildly. Everything was normal, just like it was when she went to
sleep. It was still dark outside and her watch showed 5:30 am. This was
definitely her room, not a garden. No question about it.
Her first impulse was to run to Heero's room and make sure he was there. That he was alive. But she brushed it off quickly. She had a feeling he was a light sleeper and would hear her a mile away. She was scared. No, not about that Heero was dead. But about what this meant. Did it mean she was attracted to him? That she cared for him? No. No way. She couldn't possibly care for him. She wasn't the relationship type. Besides, this was Heero after all. Something told her he wasn't exactly into the whole dating thing.
She took a couple of deep breaths. It felt like someone had stabbed her through the heart and slowly turned the knife. It felt so real. So incredibly real. She knew it was a dream, it must have been, right? It was sometimes so painfully hard to tell apart dreams and reality.
She got out of the bed and walked to the window. He legs felt wobbly and her hands shook as she opened the window. The cool night breeze blew onto her face, calming her down a little. She smelled roses and her heart ached. She sighed, mentally kicking herself. As obscene as it sounded, she didn't like having feelings for somebody. It messed up your life too much. Deep inside she was jealous of Heero. No emotions, no nothing. How perfect.
She moved away from the window and headed for the closet. Knowing she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again, she pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. She would love to go for a run right now, but she knew she couldn't. She hoped that they might have a gym or something in this maze of a house.
Trin quickly changed and put her hair up into a ponytail, then grabbing her laptop headed out the door. She stood in the hallway for a minute, thinking. She remembered Wufei saying something about them interrupting his training when they had first arrived at the house. And if her memory was right, he came in through a door in the living room. She shrugged. It was as good a guess as any.
As she turned a corner she ran right into somebody.
"Sorry" she apologized quickly, sub consciously begging it wasn't Heero. As it turned out, it wasn't. As she looked up she realized she had ran into Trowa.
"Oh, hi" she said and continued down the hall.
"I hope you're not going outside"
She turned around, startled. Trowa hadn't really said more than two words to her since they moved in. It seemed her was the shy one of the group.
"I'm not" she answered and turned to leave, but suddenly turned back.
"You don't have a gym or anything here, do you?"
"We do" he nodded slightly. "Go through the door in the living room, go straight, then turn right and take the second door on the left"
"Got it. Thanks"
She turned away and smiled slightly to herself. So her instincts were right. Very good.
Trin followed Trowa's directions easily and as she opened the "second door on the left" it led her into the biggest gym she had ever seen. It had everything you could possibly imagine. The entire left wall was made for rock climbing, there was a huge pool at the far right side of the gym. All kinds of exercise equipment, from stationary bikes to bench pressers were on the right, closest to her. There were ropes hanging from the ceiling and a square part of the gym was cemented. She guessed that was the totami, for Wufei's karate practices. In short, the gym was state of the art.
She placed her laptop on the floor and browsed through her files until she found a mix of fast beat songs she had downloaded. Quickly putting together a 'play list' she clicked "play" and a surprisingly loud fast beat blasted out of the small computer.
Thinking for a moment, she walked out of the gym and shot the door behind her. Just like she thought. Not a sound escaped the walls of the gym. That's twice in a row, she thought.
She went back inside and busied herself with stretches and then everything from running laps to climbing ropes.
* * *
Finally after over three hours of exhausting exercise Trin left the gym. It might have done good for her body, but not for her mind. The dream was fresh in her mind as if she had just woken up and so was the pain in her heart.
She sighed. Her muscles were pulled and hurt. And the few torturous hours of sleep she got were getting to her. Feeling like she was going to collapse she pushed open the door to the living room and walked in.
"Trin! What's up chica!" hit her like a hammer.
She jerked her head in the source of the voice and noticed everyone was sitting at the kitchen table having breakfast.
Normally she would have died of embarrassment. She was quite aware of her appearance. Her t-shirt sleeves rolled up, sweatpants, and her ponytail barely a ponytail anymore. However, she couldn't care less right now.
"Morning" she muttered as she practically fell into a chair next to Acire.
"Where have you been?" Acire asked cheery as ever.
"What's it look like?" was Trin's response and she poked her pancakes with a fork.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Acire laughed.
"No"
Most of the boys ate silently, occasionally chatting a little bit. As if to Trin's luck, Heero was sitting practically across from her. So she kept her eyes down as she nibbled on a piece of her pancake.
"We'll need you to make up a schedule of your classes for us" Heero said suddenly, addressing Acire and Trin "That way we'll know when you'll need to be out of the house"
Acire nodded, but Trin, lost in her thoughts, didn't even notice she was being spoken to.
"Did you hear what I said?" he asked looking directly at her now.
No response.
"Trin?" Acire poked her in the ribs and on reflects Trin's hand shot up and twisted her arm painfully. She cried out, Trin's eyes shot up and realizing what she was doing she released her grip.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you" she apologized averting the shocked gazes she was getting.
"Jeez! Physco, relax for a second will you!" Acire snapped holding her arm.
To her surprise, Trin got up furiously.
"I said I was sorry!" she growled, clear anger in her eyes.
Acire looked up at her, shocked.
"Whoa Trin, chill out. What's up?" she said quietly.
"Nothing" was her angry reply before she grabbed her laptop and walked off.
There was silence at the table as six pairs of eyes stared at the doorway she had disappeared through. Finally, Duo whistled slowly.
* * *
*Flash*
"May I have this dance?".
She looked up and saw Heero's outstretched hand
*Flash*
She put one of her hands on Heero's shoulder and the other one was being held by one of his hands. She put her head down on his other shoulder and they slowly danced.
"I always wanted to tell you…" Heero suddenly said.
*Flash*
A deafening blast filled the night sky. Heero leaned his body against her and she held his back to keep him from falling against her. With one hand still on his back, she brought one of her hands to her face. Her hand was covered in blood.
*Flash*
A deafening blast. Heero's smiling face was an expression of pure pain. She brought one of her hands to her face. Her hand was covered in blood.
*Flash*
Heero's face twisted with pain.
*Flash*
Her hand was covered in blood.
*Flash*
Heero's smiling face. A deafening blast. Blood on her hands.
*Flash*
The images played in her head. She was stuck, unable to get rid of them. Imprisoned in her own head.
She sat on her windowsill leaning against the wall. She stared outside. Before her birds and planes flew through the sky, bees buzzed over the flowers and butterflies danced in the sunlight. But she didn't see any of it. All she saw was blood on her hands.
There was a soft knock on her door, but she didn't hear it. The door opened and Heero walked in. He saw her sitting on the windowsill.
"Trin?"
She didn't seem to hear him. He walked up to her and touched her shoulder.
Her head snapped back and she looked at him. He started, her eyes were wild. She saw him, but in her mind the image was altered. She saw glazed eyes, a face twisted with pain. She saw blood. Dying hands reached for her. She screamed and darted away. She made a run for the door, but he was quicker. He grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him. She shrieked as she saw his dying face. She fought his grasp, but as she looked down she saw blood. All over her hands. She thrashed wildly, but it wouldn't disappear.
"Trin!"
His voice was so horrible. Why wouldn't he leave her alone? His grasp tightened. She felt like she was loosing her mind. It was like she was stuck in a bad horror movie.
"Leave me alone! Let me go!" she heard herself cry out. Was that really her voice? She didn't recognize it at all.
Suddenly his hands reached for her throat. Tighter and tighter they gripped her neck. Squeezing the life out of her. She kicked and screamed but the world faded from her, until finally the blackness swallowed her.
A/N: Confusing, ne? Yeah it's two a.m. and I'm sitting at the computer working on this. Well I hope you liked it, 'cause I really liked writing it. Don't ask why, I'm not normal. ^^;; lol Or maybe I just need sleep. Aight I better go before I fall asleep on the computer. And I'll let you go and review ^^ Ja!
