Heero rang the doorbell of a huge castle like mansion. He waited a little
bit before a small boy opened it. He glared his death glare at the little
boy who looked frightened.
"Is Duo in?" he asked sternly. The little boy nodded and let him in.
Heero was through great halls filled with paintings and the stuff that rich
people waste their money on to make their homes look good. Yelling echoed
throughout the halls, voices of a man and woman, but they didnt seem to be
yelling at eachother. The boy led him to a sitting room where the family
was seated. The ones that were yelling stood up and two children sat on a
love seat. A girl with long blonde hair, that looked somewhat like Relena
sat in a fancy white chair. And Duo, next to her.
"Heero! is it really you Heero? jeeze man what are you doing here?!" Duo
exclaimed, popping out of his chair. The adults turned around and froze.
"Who is this?" the man asked.
"This is my ole buddy Heero. What are you doing here?"
"Ive come to talk to you."
'Um, ok. Im kinda in the middle of a discussion. Can you give me a
minute?"
"-No."
"Ok. Family, ill return in a few" Heero followed Duo into a seperate
sitting room. He closed the door behind Heero. "Okay, what is this
about?"
"Ive come to get you."
"Why? This is my home Heero."
"They were yelling at you Duo. They dont seem like good people. Ive come
to take you with me."
"And what if i dont want to go?"
"Dont lie to me Duo, i know you want to go. Its written all over your
face. I can see it in your eyes how much you are hurting here." Heero
stopped and glared at Duo's arm. There were fresh bruises up it. "And
they beat you. Not a swell family to stay with. Lets go. You can stay
with Relena and I."
"Heero no. I do not want to live out my life with two love birds and be
ignored for all eternity. I cant live like that Heero. Id rather live
here, with someone i love, than with you."
"And who is it you love?"
"Beatrice. The girl that i was sitting next to."
"Isnt she your sister now?"
"In a way. But we arent related, and i love her. And i will not leave here
unless she comes with me."
"Very well."
"Very well?"
"What are you waiting for? ive come to pick you up, and i will not wait
here for you to make up your mind."
Duo sighed. "There just aint no winning with you Heero. Its your way or
the highway. Fine. Give us till tonight. this is something that must be
discussed. We will sneak out and meet you somewhere?"
Heero handed Duo a piece of paper. "This is the hotel that im staying out.
My flight to England leaves tomorrow. You better be here tonight or ill
come and drag you back by your braid."
Duo gulped and smiled. "Gotcha Heero. Ill see you tonight" Duo winked at
Heero and led him out of the mansion.
"Dont be late Duo."
"I wont, i promise." Heero grunted and disappeared into the shadows of the
night.
"He has come to take me with him to England" Duo explained to Beatrice that night. "But why?" "He doesnt approve of the living conditions here." "So. You will be leaving then" Beatrice paused. "Not without you." She looked up at him. "I told him that the only way im leaving is with you. So if you want to stay here, i guess ill have to put up with these people who do not need to be called parents. But on the other hand, we can leave it all behind and go live with Relena Daralin, Vice Foreign Minister." "You know Relena?" "Yes. Her and Heero are lovers. Sad to say. But its better than here. What do you say?" "I dont know. I dont really want to...." "You have no need to stay with these people. You are too good for them. Where we are going, you will be treated how you are supposed to be." "Im not sure..." "We can leave it all behind, and live freely as we wish" he bent over and whispered in her ear. "Very well then. Ill do it." "Thats a good answer. I was getting alittle worried there, Heero said he was gonna drag me back by my braid if i didnt show up. Our plane leaves tomorrow morning. Lets get packin." Beatrice appeared in Duo's room with a suitcase and a pad of paper. "Whats that for?" Duo asked, pointing to it. "I cant just disappear now can i?" She jotted some stuff down on the paper and put it on his bed. Duo waited for her at his open window and hopped out it, taking his bag with him. They went down his escape route and to the garage, grabbing the same car as the night of their joyride. They drove to Heero's hotel, and within the morning, were gone.
When Christine came to wake Duo that morning, she found a letter:
To our dearest parents and family,
I can no longer sit around and let you hit him and beat him, because you do not have a grip on life. We have gone far away, to live out our lives freely, to a place where no one will recognize us. I do not agree with your views on life. They are as twisted as you people are. So, I wish you well and hope you live a happy life, always remembering what you have done. You can have all the regret of your actions, I have washed my hands of them. I will be happy, living with the one i love, Love always, Beatrice
I really have nothing to say to you people. I do not consider you family. You are as twisted and demented as a psycotic lunatic locked away in the loony bin! No worries here though. I will soon forget all about you and your ways. You really should learn to hide yourselves better. Your cruel masks dissolve far too easily, which gives away. Buh bye forever. Duo Maxwell, The Great Destroyer P.S. I think you should count the depleated sum of money in your safe! dont worry! it will be spent well!
"Albert!!!!!!!!" Catherine screamed and ran down the stairs to the safe that was hidden in the library. She pulled off the tapestry that covered it and opened the safe. Albert ran up to her side. "What is going on?" Catherine threw the note in his face as she opened the safe. Two stacks of fifty dollar bills were left of the fortune that once was there. Catherine fainted in her husband's arms as he stared blankly at the empty safe.
