Hey, I am sorry I didn't get this chapter out yesterday. I have just been very sick this week and I have tons of HW. Well enough of the talk, here is the story. Enjoy!

A Pit of Darkness

(Relena's Pov)

Quickly I elbowed them in the stomach and turned around to see who I had hit ready with the candlestick. I gasped realizing then what I had done. "OMG, Millardo I said while he bent down to hold his stomach." "I am so sorry." "Its ok, he winced as he looked up at me." "What the hell is going on, he asked?" I turned to the door still listening to Heero knocking on the door. Suddenly I heard this loud bang and then it stopped. He must have left I thought as I looked toward my brother. Millardo stood in silence listening as I had. "Alright, what is going on, he said saying it in a harder tone than before?" I felt reluctant to answer him. After all, that would mean me telling him what had happened between Ellowitz and myself. I had felt ashamed by what had happened and that is why I had chosen to keep it a secret. I looked up at him slowly and began telling him what happened. I could see the anger shining in his eyes. "So after Heero said that I became scared and ran here, I mean..how could he have known that, I said while Millardo stood listening patiently?" "I don't know, but I have trouble thinking that Heero would do such a thing, he replied while walking over to a chair." "So do I, I thought as I sat down on a stool." "So do I."

(Millardo's Pov)

I had been pretty upset with Relena. I was mad because she had not told me about what had happened. She told me it was for my own good that I hadn't known, but I knew the real reason why she had not told me. I made her promise to tell me everything from this point and she promised. After our talk, I set up a search party for Heero. He had some how disappeared from us and we could no longer find him. I was determined to find out what was going on and put an end to all this misery. I asked Trowa to watch over Relena while the rest of us went searching. Noin, Hilde, and Sally were all in the kitchen trying to fix an old radio we had found. But it looked like it was never going to work. Duo had just laughed. "Ya right, he said coming towards me." "Ok, I am a mechanic and I can't even fix it." "It will give them something to keep their minds of this, said Quatra smiling at Duo." "Ok guys lets get going, I said as we took the flashlight and started heading down the hallway." This should be interesting I thought as I made my way passed the library.

(Trowa's Pov)

There was no way in hell I was going to loose Relena. I had lost Cathy and it was my fault I had let her go on her own, but there was no way I was going to make that mistake again. Zechs had told us the truth about what had happened to Relena with Ellowitz. I was just praying to God that he wasn't trying to do the same to Cathy right now. Cuz if he did, when I find him I'll kill him!!! "Trowa?" I turned to Relena she was looking at me with her sad Blue eyes. "Yes, I replied with more sad tone than I had expected." "Do you have any idea who is doing this, she asked walking towards me." "No, I replied." "But I sure as hell would like to know." I looked at her. Zechs had also told us that somehow Heero had known what had happened and that had scared the crap out of Relena. I didn't believe that it was Heero. He couldn't be capable of such a thing. I laughed at the image of Heero trying to be evil. "He's to pure, I said." "Who is?" I looked up Relena was staring at me. I hadn't meant to say that out loud. "Uh no one, I answered back." "O, she replied back." "Trowa can I go back to my room and get a sweater, asked Relena while holding her shoulders and shaking?" "Uh sure, I said back." "As long as I am going with you ok?" "Alright, she replied." It really was cold in the castle. There were only a few rooms not including the bedrooms that had fireplaces, which had been our source of heat. Relena and I slowly walked up the stairs to her room as I followed behind. We had never taken these stairs before. We had just taken the front stairs instead of the back. Suddenly I heard Relena scream. I looked up at her while she seemed to be falling down. It looked like a trap door had opened beneath her and she was going to fall down into a pit of darkness. "Relena, I yelled as I leaned forward to grab her but I ended up falling as well." I could hear her scream as we fell down father and farther.

I opened my eyes to see nothing but the darkness. "Relena, I yelled frantically worried that she was hurt." "I'm ok, she said in a shaking voice." "Where are you, I asked trying to follow your voice." "Sing for me so I can find you, I yelled moving forward." She started to sing and I closed my eyes to relax myself. I followed her voice and eventually found her. "Are you ok, I said bending down towards her?" I could barely see her figure. "Ya, she replied while I helped her up." "Ouch, she yelped while she stood to her feet." "I thought you said you were ok, I said looking at her." "I am she, answered back." "I just hit my head on something while I stood up." I put my hand on the wall round me. I then felt this grove in the wall and something like a gutter. I put my hands in it feeling a liquid of some sort. "What is it, Relena said leaning towards me?" I gently took my finger out of the liquid and brought it up to my mouth. I tasted it and then spitted it out. "Yuck, I said leaning back." "What is it, she said again." "Gasoline I said as I answered back." I touched the wall again looking more above the wall this time. I eventually came to find a lever of some sort. "Got it I said, pulling it down." Suddenly a flash of flames came out and lighted what looked to be a path leading its way down. Relena stood in amazement as I did. "Where are we, she asked looking at me?" "I have no Idea I said coming over to her." "There is no way to get out of here, I said looking up to where we had fallen from." "We have no choice, but to go down." She nodded her head and followed me to the beginning of the path. "Here, I said holding my hand out to her." "Hold my hand so we don't get separated." "Alright, she answered back as she grabbed my hand." Great I thought as I pulled her forward. Just what I need. I sighed wondering if we were ever going to get out of here.

(Relena's Pov)

We finally came to the end of the path and there before us was a door. Trowa looked at me with uncertainty as he stood there. "Should we open it, I said looking towards him?" "I guess we have no choice, he replied." He leaned towards the door and grabbed the handle. He then gently opened the door and out came this big squeaky noise. We slowly walked in. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. Portraits of people on the walls, long tables with chairs around them and shelves with books. "It must have been very beautiful here, I whispered looking around." "Ya, replied Trowa." "It still is." The huge room was lighted with gorgeous chandeliers. It reminded me of a classic tale room. "Look over here, said Trowa as he pulled me towards a door that was opened a crack." I could see a faint light coming through it. He opened the door and we walked through the entrance. It was a huge room painted gold and red. Over in the left stood a huge fireplace with a blazing fire. I gasped seeing the hooded figures back against us staring into the fire. "Trowa, I said as I yanked his shirt." He looked at me and I point towards the figure. He quickly pulled me behind him and took out his gun. "Who are you, he demanded as he shouted at the person." I was scared clutching Trowa's shoulders behind him. Slowly the figure turned around. We couldn't see the face because of the hood. "Ellowitz, I whispered." Trowa glanced back at me. "Show yourself, growled Trowa as he cocked the gun back ready to fire." The figure then lifted his hand up and slowly pulled back the hood. I gasped in complete shock, as did Trowa. My hands went up to my mouth. "No, I screamed." "NO!"
