An uneasy feeling came over him as he saw the man disappear around a corner inside. ::Why cant I remember… this familiar feeling… something important…:: He slowly made his way into the building and turned the same corner as the doctor. The doctor was now at the end of the hallway and Heero picked up his pace. Something inside of him was telling him that he should follow the doctor. And so he did.

^

Heero followed the good doctor back inside the building.

He followed him up the elevator and down the hallways.

He followed him and all the while the doctor, being in such a hurry, didn't even seem to notice the silent boy tailing him.

Heero saw the doctor as he walked past nurses, walked past patients on their way to the Emergency Room.

He saw as the doctor was suddenly grabbed by one of these patients.

He saw Dr. Wood stand frozen with fear as the tall male patient pointed a gun straight for his head.

Heero watched as the guards pulled out their guns to no success.

He watched the patient take the doctor hostage, yelling and screaming.

He watched as if in slow motion as the mans finger squeezed slightly on the trigger.

Heero remembered something.

He remembered the dream, the warning.

He remembered what he was suppose to do.

~Three pins will show you the way~

Heero ran with speed he forgot he had.

He ran towards the doctor.

He ran in front of the gun, successfully pushing the doctor out of the way.

Heero fell backwards.

He fell to the ground.

He fell in a pile of blood, his own blood.

Heero felt darkness approaching.

He felt the slight pain in his head.

He felt the world spinning around him and he closed his eyes and welcomed the blackness.

*******

Back in the cell, back into his nightmare, Heero sat on the cold rock floor. Around him chains littered the ground. A man was standing before him smiling, showing his yellow teeth. His long black tangled hair fell below his shoulders and was swaying slightly as the man walked closer.

Heero stared at his gray eyes with a blank expression, this seemed to make the mans smile widen and he burst out laughing. Not the jolly kind of laughing, but the real crazy mad man kind of laugh. A laugh that Heero was familiar with, since he used to laugh like that when fighting in the war. It sent chills down his spine and he had to turn his head away.

The man stopped abruptly, anger filling his eyes. "Mission complete… that's what you always say isn't it? Well I guess I could tell you that my 'Mission' is now complete."

Heero looked back to the man with confused eyes.

"Oh? Not going to ask what my mission was… I know your curious. How do I know? Well… because I am apart of you!" The man smirked and licked his lips together.

"What are you talking about?" Heero finally said. After the words came out of his mouth he knew he should have stayed silent for the man started laughing at him again.

"Why… that was easier than I thought! And since you asked me so nicely, I think I might answer you." He chuckled some more and then came within an inch of Heero's face. He wanted to back away from the vile breath blowing in his face, but like usual he couldn't move in his dream He was helpless. The man continued, "Well let me tell you this 'first', you are dead! Aha! Dead… dead… and you will be forever here, in this… well, you would call it a 'nightmare' now wouldn't you?"

Heero felt his eyes widening, and his heart started to beat faster. "I'm dead?"

"Why… yes you are." Laughter once again filled the room making Heero wish his dream came with a pair of ear plugs.

"Who are you?" Heero's voice was cold and emotionless.

"I'm shocked! I cant believe you don't remember! Well I guess you wouldn't since you never saw me… hmmm? But does my 'voice' not sound at 'all' familiar?"

::Voice?:: Suddenly it came to him. He recognized the voice from his dream, the dream that had told him that the doctor was going to die. ::But what is he doing here? And why is he so happy that I am dead? I thought he was helping me.::

"Who are you?" Heero asked again.

"Tsk, Tsk, naughty, naughty… I don't think you are in any position to be demanding answers from me. As far as I can see you cant even move!" A long fingered hand reached out and took a hold of Heero's chin. "Such a pretty little thing you are. I am going to have fun with you!" The man opened his mouth and tilted Heero's face to the side. Heero cringed as he felt the mans tongue lick down his cheek.

"Let. Go. Of me." Anger welled up inside of him. Heero was pissed, pissed because he could not move, pissed because he was so helpless. To his surprise the man actually backed away with a look of pain.

"You brat! How dare you demand things of me! You should be grateful I let you save your little doctor man." He snarled.

"What are you talking about?" This was becoming too confusing for Heero. This man was making no sense.

"Ah yes… well I guess it would be worth my while to tell you the 'whole' story." The black haired mans lips curled up into a grin. "I'll put it simply… you've been 'used', tricked. By me." The expression on his face showed that he was proud of himself. It just made Heero even angrier.

"Once upon a time their was a boy," the man started while pacing around the room. "Now this boy was not a normal boy… no, this boy was special!" His yellow teeth showed again as he grinned. "This boy… hated himself, more than anything in the world. He hated himself so much that he made it a habit to try and kill himself. Well this didn't go unnoticed… no… this attracted the attention of one certain individual."

Heero shivered, he did not like where this was going. The man was creeping him out, and he could do nothing but listen to his voice as it got louder and louder as the speech progressed.

"I was attracted to this boy's hate. Well anyone of my kind would be, and I must tell you… I had a heck of a time getting to him, what with all the others hounding him and all. Anyways, this boy… welcomed me with open arms, or you could say open mind. He let me into his mind, let me into his dreams. I was able to live happily off of his fears for awhile." The mans face twisted into an angry scowl.

"But NO! That stupid brat had to come along and ruin EVERYTHING!" The chains on the floor started to rattle and Heero could see a weird red energy coming out of the man. Sparks were flying out of him, making him seem like a sparkler. It took a minute before the sparks went away and the mans face returned to his evil grinning self. "So… this brat came along and pretty much started making the boy 'not so self hating'. Well, I couldn't have that. No, no, no one messes with me! I came up with a plan…" His eyes were glinting with a kind of craziness that made Heero dread what was coming next.

"I made the boy try and kill himself, I made him hate himself so much that he went ahead and did it! I made 'you'… slit your wrists." His evil laugh filled the tiny cell once again as he pointed on of his long bendy fingers at Heero.

Heero growled and tried desperately to move. If he could just get free maybe he could strangle the man who he had come to hate within minutes.

"Calm down and let me finish my story… Its rather good! I'm 'sure' you'll want to hear the rest." A chair appeared out of thin air which the black haired man sat down on still facing Heero. He cleared his throat for effect, and continued. "Anyway… I had this plan, to get the boy back. I decided that the best way would be to…" He cut himself off and started again and Heero got the faint impression that the man didn't want him to know what he almost said.

"Like I said early I tricked you… and I had sooo much fun doing it! I knew you weren't going to die when you slit your wrists… you see that was all apart of my plan. I would get you to think that… that BRAT, was in danger if you were to die. So you took the choice to 'live'. By doing so I gained you trust… trust that shouldn't have been given out so easily." He said mockingly. "You were a soldier for gods sake… you don't even trust the mail man yet you can trust a voice in your head?"

"Shut up and get to the point or I'll…" Heero growled. He didn't know how much longer he could take of this man. He was already feeling sick just listening to him.

"Or you'll what? Scream at me? I think not." Laughing lightly the man then continued. "I wanted you… uhh dead… for real this time. So I had to set up a way for you die… since you obviously were not going to try and kill yourself again since that… that 'thing' was always on your mind. Duo I think you called him." He yawned and looked to the side acting bored. "The poor brat probably will 'really' kill himself now."

Heero watched this with half lidded eyes. ::What the hell is he getting at? How could he be playing me all along?::

"I gave you a little… clue… and like the good dog you are, you followed it. To make a long story short… you ended up saving that worthless doctor like planned and you died in the process!" Cheerfulness spread throughout his voice and he sat up from his chair walking back over to Heero. "And here you are… you are mine now."
