Reflections Chapter Three: Confusion
Trowa was running through the flames. They licked at his feet but they gave off no light, as he stumbled though the dark room. ^Trowa wake up! ^ There was a voice... his head? His mind was going slowly as though his flying feet were stealing speed from his mind. ^Trowa please wake up! ^ No...the voice wasn't in his head... He opened his eyes and was still met with the darkness from his dreams. He moaned "Quatre...is that...is that you?" It was difficult for him to breathe and his words came out as little more than a whisper. He could feel the rain pouring down on his fevered arms and shivers racked through his body like convulsions. "No, Trowa, it's Wufei. You're experiencing temporary blindness due to the demon's poison." "Hn. I see." Trowa felt a cup pressed to his lips and drank obediently. He was going to ask how long he was out but his tongue wouldn't obey him. In fact his mind seemed to be wandering on without him. ^I hope Cathy fed the lions. ^ Flitted through his thoughts just before he sank back into the darkness. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The boys had found a small house near the clearing where they had awakened. It had been abandoned for a short time but it suited their purpose just fine and in fact had been fully stocked. Soon after Trowa had collapsed it had begun to rain buckets and the boys were in desperate need to get out of the rain, especially the fever weakened clown. Once inside the boys desperately tried to light the fireplace with a flint stone in Duo's pack but, alas, the stone had gotten wet and would not work. Meanwhile Trowa's shivers grew worse and he had begun hallucinating. ^I have to do something fast. ^ Heero searched for an answer to his dilemma but could find none and was forced to watch his dear, though not admitted, friend slowly waste away. Heero could feel the heat of his anger and though he closed his eyes and calmed himself he could still feel the warmth. When he opened them again the rest of his companions were looking dazedly at the fire that had just suddenly appeared in the fireplace. All save Wufei who was making sure that Trowa would get the full advantage of the fire. "He should be fine and his fever should break before morning." Wufei sat down by the fire his bones aching with cold and damp. He closed his eyes taking in the heat of the fire when suddenly he sneezed. Opening his eyes he saw Quatre looking at him with a concerned expression. "Come on," the blond boy smiled, "Now that our clothes are dry we should see if the previous owners left anything useful and try to find something to eat." He managed to find some blankets in a closet and Heero had found food in the kitchen. Wufei just found dust and his sneezes got worse and all that Duo got was a bruise on his arm for joking about how cute the chibi-sneezes were. After eating the food from the kitchen and heating some water to drink and warm their bones the young pilots sat by the fire wrapped head to toe in the blankets Quatre had found. Heero stared at the flames in the fireplace, a mystery in itself. Had he really made the flames? No he couldn't have. It must have been someone else...right? But they had searched the whole house and they were alone. Heero's concentration was interrupted by Duo's loud steady breathing. He turned to ask Wufei if he could tell him anything about this strange world since he seemed to know something but when he turned to ask the Chinese boy he found him fast asleep. ^Maybe he told Quatre something^ Heero turned the other way only to find Quatre asleep as well, curled up like a puppy. Shaking his head the boy lay down and followed their example and was out like a light in seconds. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "You know Rose, we're gonna have to stop babying them soon." A tall figure appeared near the head of the sleeping Duo, "The demons will sense us soon." "I know Iris, we were lucky enough to save them from their dreams." The girl named Rose appeared beside the taller figure giving a motherly look toward Wufei, "Poor thing, he wore himself out fighting those demons and having to help Trowa." The two were as different as different could be when it came to looks. Iris was tall with light freckles, brown hair and eyes, the very picture of wisdom and calm. Rose, however, was short with dark freckles, red hair and blue eyes, a portrait of bravery and spirit. There was one similarity though, for their eyes held the same sparkle and wit. They returned Wufei's sword and added travel rations and currency to the boys' packs. Then the two walked over to Trowa and healed his wounds. Iris whispered in his ear and told the clown that his sister and the lions were all right and not to worry. Horses were tethered outside with tack. Finally the pair prepared to leave but before they did they left a sense of peace and security in the room as well as a magical guard to see them through the night. "I guess that's all we can do for them for now." Rose shook her head, "I just wish we could do more." "Ah, don't worry Rose," Iris smiled adding more warmth to the cheery room, "Heero already found his magic, Wufei has his family's wisdom, and the rest are not far behind on finding their respective talents. Besides, if they were strong enough to resist the temptations of the demons in the first place they aren't exactly innocents." The pair turned and vanished into thin air leaving only their magical protection and a peaceful smile on the pilots' faces. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Trowa awoke from peaceful dreams to find himself both surprisingly unaware of where he was and even more surprisingly ravenous. Looking around he found that the others had not yet awakened and they all had the most serene looks on their faces. Then he remembered; the strange dream, the demons, all of it. With a small shudder he sat and waited for the others to wake and fill him in on what he had missed. *YAWN* "Hey Trowa you're ok!" Duo blinked sleepily, "I suppose you want to know where we are. Well...I'm not really sure. We just found this abandoned house and...Hey! My pack's heavier than it was last night." Duo rooted around in it for a while and found travel rations, currency, and... "A Horse bridle?" Duo looked at it dazedly, "Why do we need those if we have no horses?" "Actually we do." Heero turned from the window and said, "There are six of them. One for each of us to ride and one for the packs." Quatre, who had recently awakened, decided to contribute, "I don't think the demons that brought us here would have given us those. I think someone's trying to help us." "Our Guardians." Wufei nodded to himself, "That would explain the supplies and the cabin. Apparently we have made friends as well as enemies on this trip."
"But-We don't even know them!" Duo stammered. "Yes, but I think they know us," Trowa startled them all into silence with his knowing expression as he continued, "I was worried about Cathy when I awoke in the meadow but I in my dreams last night a voice told me that Cathy and the lions were fine and not to worry. Apparently whoever it is knows who we are and what we're supposed to do here and is trying to help us." There was silence for a moment and then Wufei cleared his throat. "I think I know what we're here for. In my meditation I had a vision. Those girls are demons working for a Grand demon and obviously one that doesn't like us." "What?" Duo, naturally, interrupted, "We don't even know the guy! Why does he hate us so much?!" Wufei shook his head. "Apparently we are the ones destined to bring about his downfall. That is all my vision told me before the demon interrupted." *crash* A brief search found Quatre in the kitchen bashfully setting pans back into a cabinet. "Sorry to startle you all," Quatre smiled, "I just decided that we should have breakfast since we have supplies on hand." Duo was rather enthusiastic about this idea. "Well, I never could think on an empty stomach!" He grinned. "I didn't know that you could think at all, Maxwell." Wufei teased, and ended up getting a handful of flour in his face. "*achoo!* MAXWELL!" Breakfast was rather uneventful, except for a few flung food items coming from Duo's direction. Though the braided pilot was obviously trying to lighten the mood but his efforts were lost on his stern comrades. When the boys readied their mounts in hopes that they could discover something else about where they were they found new items. Trowa found a small dagger, bow and arrows, and a magic map to lead them to where they needed to go. Quatre found a pair of short swords, one for each side, and a small stone with a strange inscription that burst into light whenever it came in contact with his skin. Heero received a sword and shield and a bag of small stones that smelled strangely of gunpowder. Duo discovered a scythe with a special sheath and a magic bubble that allowed one to breathe underwater. Wufei was reunited with Kizoku and a strange pair of glasses that Wufei didn't know the use of. They were all set to go...but where?
