Author's note: Kay! Here's part two! Hopefully better than my first chapter!!!! (Constructive criticism or comments are great!!!!! But as you know those who flame me will know the wrath of Chibi-natashi! ///^.^! Jk! But still, please be nice!) It's a bit strange...Ok it's nuts but please bear with me!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!
Dedication: To all those who read my first chapter of my first fic and actually liked it enough to go to the next chapter! They love me! THEY REALLY LOVE ME! I'd like to thank all the little people who I stepped on to get here...just kidding! Anyhoo this is for you!
Warning: There's a bit of gross stuff like blood and all that so if you are squeamish I'm really sorry but that's just how I write. This is probably going to be the most depressing part but it's not that bad and there is a reason for it!!! Please bear with me!!
Reflections Chapter Two: Awakenings
White light swirled around Trowa as he stood in a white room. He heard a voice...music...familiar somehow...Cathy? No...it was...different somehow...like a shadow of the past. He frowned. "Trowa, what's wrong?" He heard Catherine's voice and suddenly she came through the white mist. "You look troubled. Is something wrong?" "Where are we?" Trowa asked...something was not right here. "Why," She looked stunned, "We've always been here...Together as brother and sister. Are you sure you're all right?" "No..." Trowa was remembering something...something important...mirrors? A child...but not a child...her eyes! Those weren't the eyes of his beloved sister those were of the demon child! "You're not my sister!" Trowa shouted and flung the clinging figure away, the girl changing before his eyes. The face before him changed to that of a man. One that Trowa had known very well...though he wished he hadn't. He had known him when he was still called Natashi or No-Name. This was the man who had...abused him. Crying out with rage and pain Trowa attacked the figure with all the power and grace of the lions he so admired. But it was to no avail. The man just disappeared into thin air. He heard childish laughter behind him and he spun around. "Amber! Stop this madness." Trowa glared at the girl and made a quick defense as she sprung at him with fang and claw...birdsong...he heard a bird! Fighting the waves of pain her claws were sending through his stomach he reached for that song with all of his heart and...woke up. He was in a meadow and the other Gundam pilots were all sleeping next to him. Ignoring the stinging sensation in his stomach he looked to find the source of his awakening. The songbird him gave him a weird, almost motherly look and then took off with a squawk. Shrugging Trowa tried to wake the others from their dreams but failed. Try as he might he couldn't release them from the grip of their current nightmare. He'd just have to wait for them to wake up. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Quatre... Quatre where are you? Why did you leave me?...Quatre I need you! Where did you go? Brother dear, where did you go?" Through a dense white haze Quatre heard the voice of his dearly loved sister Irea. "Irea? Where are you? Where are we? Irea?" Quatre called, straining for a view of his sister, "Irea is that you?" He saw a vague figure at the edge of the fog. "Quatre is that you?" Irea stepped through the fog to face her brother, "It is, so I've finally found you." She smiled, "It seems as if I'm always getting you out of trouble. Come on I want to show you something!" Quatre began to follow his sister but suddenly his warrior's sixth sense of danger went haywire. "Irea...Just where are we and why are you so calm?" Quatre was getting suspicious, "Please, tell me." "To father's grave of course." She stated matter of factly, "Since it was your fault in the first place that he died I figured that you'd want to see him one last time...or what's left of him." "What?" Quatre was taken aback by his sister's blunt statement, "I tried...you knew I tried to save him!" "But you didn't." her calm tone continued, "You were a coward. Now come along" "No!" Quatre yelled, "You're not my sister! She wouldn't say anything like that and it's not TRUE!" Quatre flung his "sister" away and was not surprised to see Starbreeze glaring at him. "You think you're so smart?" She grinned, revealing long, wicked fangs, "Try me on for size!" Quatre readied himself to fight her rapidly approaching face but suddenly it turned into that of Trowa. "Trowa? Is that you?" Quatre's voice was still a bit shaky from his nightmare. "Yeah, Quatre, it's me." Trowa's face looked as calm as always even in these strange surroundings but his brilliant green eyes were troubled. "What happened to them?" Quatre asked referring to the other pilots, "Same thing that happened to us I guess." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
White light surrounded Heero. ^Where am I? More importantly how do I get out? Wait...It's a door...there isn't anywhere else to go... ^ Heero opened the door, reaching for a gun that wasn't there. "Mister..." There was a slow small sound from inside, "Why? Why did you hurt us? We were just living peacefully. Why did you take our homes away?" A small child crying and carrying a puppy appeared before his eyes. Half of her face was gone, causing one eye to cry blood while older blood had congealed on various spots on her tattered clothing. Heero's eyes widened in what could only be a mixture of shock and guilt. He knew this girl... she was the product of a mission gone wrong...he had gone in to demolish a base and instead he had destroyed a city full of civilians. He had met the girl in a park while she had been walking her new dog. He had found the dog...in the rubble...it was dead. It looked the same now except that its cold eyes were decaying and maggots had begun to eat away at it. "It hurts..."she sniffled, "I'm so scared and all alone and it hurts. Where did they go? Where are papa and mama? I can't find them anywhere." Heero knew that if the girl knew the way out he would have to coax it out of her. "Can you show me the exit?" He asked the girl but he got little more than a wall-eyed stare out of her, "Do you know how you got in?" Nothing. She just continued just to stare at him with those empty, glazed eyes that peeked out of the oh so very pale face. After a short time she looked up at him and smiled. "It doesn't hurt anymore...but I'm cold...so cold..." Suddenly her eyes flashed and turned to red and then to a cold familiar blue as fangs and claws suddenly made themselves noticeable. "Won't you help me?" Her face was changing, "You owe it to me! You took everything and I want BLOOD!" She lunged at him and just as her fangs were about to snap into his face he...woke? For the first time in their lives Trowa and Quatre saw Heero pale and shaking like a leaf. They knew that he was very disturbed by something but what they didn't know was that if he had had anything in his stomach he would have thrown it up. "Where are we?" Heero managed looking around and seeing the other two pilots still dreaming. "We don't exactly know," Quatre seemed just as put out as everyone else there, "But I think whoever brought us here-" Quatre was interrupted by Duo, thrashing in the grip of his nightmare. "No..." Duo was moaning, "Come back..." Most of the rest was unintelligible but Heero thought he heard a sniffle followed by "boys don't cry". ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo did not like this place. He didn't know where or what this whiteness was. There was nothing but white for as far as the eye could see. ^Which isn't far 'cuz this fog's so thick you could cut it with a knife, ^ Duo didn't like thinking about not being able to see what might be in there with him. He, as always, tried to lighten the mood so he started to sing softly to himself "20 bottles of beer on the wall! twenty bottles of beer! you take one down, pass it around 19 bottles of beer on the wall! 19- " Duo stopped as he heard his voice echoing back from the edges of his foggy prison. But the words weren't right at all! They came back as "20 bottles of blood on the wall 20 bottles of blood! You take one down, pass it around 19 bottles of blood on the wall!" ^Weird^ Duo thought, ^that's it!!!! No more Stephen King novels! I'm gonna give them all to Quatre. He seems to like them...or maybe he just gives them to Trowa. ^ Laughing nervously at himself he quickly changed his song. "This is the song that never ends! Yes it goes on and on my friend. Two people started singin' it, not knowing what it was and they'll continue singin' it forever just because! " Again Duo's voice echoed back with twisted words "This is the pain that never ends! Yes it goes on to you and all your friends. You started fighting it not knowing what it was and you'll all continue screaming forever just as it always was!" ^Ooooooookaaaaaay...right. Now this is getting creepy! Duo shook his head, I gotta stop reading those damn books! Next thing you know I'm gonna be seein' things! ^ Duo spun around to face the sudden footsteps behind him. "Hilde?" He choked, "What are you doing here? What am I doing here, for that matter? Where are we...?" He trailed off, "Hilde what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Hilde's eyes stared at him sightlessly as she muttered something. "What?" Duo strained to hear her, "Hilde speak up! I can't hear you if you mutter." "Em pleh." She said quietly, her head tilting to the side. "What? You aren't making any sense Hilde!" "EM PLEH!" Her eyes had opened wide and she fell to the floor, her back a mass of wounds. But they weren't fresh wounds. They were old and covered in rot. Her flesh was crawling with maggots and roaches. Duo ran to her side shaking her limp body, trying to bring her back. "No! Hilde come back! Please come back to me!" But it was no use. He held back tears, rocking himself back and forth and yelled "Boys don't cry. Do you hear me?! BOYS DON'T CRY!" He held his head trying to figure out what his dear departed Hilde had been telling him. Suddenly he remembered the pool, like a big mirror, it hit him and he shouted with his eyes closed "HELP ME!" Duo shuddered uncontrollably and whispered, "She was saying help me but I was too late! Why am I always too late! Please don't! Please don't take another one!" He looked up and saw Hilde... but it wasn't Hilde...it was that girl...from the pool. The pool! He sat up ready to show the little demon just what it was to mess with Shinigami but instead of finding the girl he saw...Heero? The white and fog were gone revealing a sunny meadow. "I was too late." Duo shuddered and ran for the bushes where he was violently sick. Turning back to the other three he said simply, "Don't ask. How's Wufei?" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"DEMON! COWARD! Come and fight me!" Wufei ignored the images of his dead loved ones for he knew that they were fallacies, "I will have no more of your mind games temptress! My ancestors have taught me well and I will escape you!" Smiling wickedly, the demon Skyjolt appeared before him. "Oh my! I tremble with fear! Oh please do not hurt me for I am only a weak onna!" Her eyes widened in mock fear, "Yeah right! Gimme a break! Even if you knew how to vanquish a demon you wouldn't have the power to defeat me!" Wufei allowed a slow smile begin to grow across his face, "I know how and I do have the power! Behold, the ancient sword of honor, Kizoku!" He reached out into his sheath and pulled out...a butter knife? "Injustice! Demon how could you take this magical sword?" Skyjolt just laughed, "You really do know nothing of magic don't you? This is a demon dream! Meaning I can do what ever I want to you and you can't hurt me. Too bad for you. But don't worry, dying fighting a demon is an honorable death so I won't give that to you. In fact I'm just stalling so my sisters can kill your friends while you sleep! Bye Dragon-boy." Suddenly Wufei was out of the whiteness and looking around dazedly in a meadow. He saw the other boys looking perfectly calm but Duo was clutching his ever-present cross hard enough to make his knuckles go white and all of the others were showing some sign of distress. "Are any of you hurt?" Wufei demanded, "In your dreams were any of you injured in any way or did you eat something?" The other boys shook their heads silently...all but Trowa who said quietly "She used her claws on me but I'm fine. It was just a dream Wufei." "No." Wufei had begun to rummage through a pack the boys had never noticed before. In fact they were all dressed strangely with strange weapons and possessions. "No it wasn't. Trowa where did she scratch you?" Wufei continued, slightly worried. "On my stomach, why?" "Look." Wufei pointed to Trowa's shirt, which had fresh and spreading bloodstains on it. Wufei looked at the odd expression on the clown's face "Trowa come here. There's a good chance that you've been poisoned and it has to be neutralized soon." Trowa took a couple of slow steps toward him but stopped and smiled slowly, "It's alright, Wufei, it doesn't hurt anymore." He shuddered and suddenly collapsed to be caught by his comrades excluding Wufei who was shuffling madly though his pack. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AN: That's the end of chapter two! Don't worry things will pick up soon! To those I grossed out or offended Gomen Nasi! (I'm VERY SORRY!) If you are confused.good! These first couple of chapters are supposed to be and your questions will be answered in the following chapters! As for the people I "killed" in this section I have nothing against them as you will soon see! In fact I am a huge Hilde fan! Rock on! Also if you are still wondering EM PLEH backwards or in a mirror is HELP ME. Please give me any Questions and or comments! With the Trowa abuse thing.I am referring to something written about in other fics and I won't go into detail. If you really want to know read the short fic "Trowa's tears" by Jet !
