Mrs. Malworth went upstairs the next morning to wake the boys for Sunday breakfast. She knocked on Daya's door. "Daya wake up dear, breakfast." She waited for a reply, "Daya?" She quietly opened the door. His bed was empty and unselpt in. "Daya!" She ran to Duo's room. "Duo!?" She tried the door, it was locked, she could not force it open.
Heero was snooping around Jade's closet. Stakes, crossbows, potions, a few 50lb books, swords and a cloak a big black cloak. /Tell Duo.../ he grabbed the cloak and put it on, it fit, with the hood he could almost cover his whole face.
"I will tell Duo today." He sighed, " I hope he doesn't hate me." He left Jade's and he followed his senses to a lil house on a dead end road.
Duo woke up on a hard concrete floor, surrounded by dark cold walls."Where am I?" He slowly stood up. His body ached, he walked around the room a bit, then he noticed "Daya!" he ran over to his little brother laying motionless on the floor. Suddenly last night's events came rushing back to him, atleast he thought it was last night's for all he knew they could have been there hours or days.
He shook his brother, then checked for a pulse, there was a weak one, very weak, and too slow. /Damnit Daya why did you have to follow me here?/ The two marks on his neck where Shadow had drank from where all but bruises now. /Why didn't Heero tell me what they were?/
Heero knocked on the door before him. A small woman in her late forties answered the door. She looked out startled at the dark figure in front of her. "Who are you?"
"Is Duo here?" Heero could feel the sun's heat on his back, it was burning his skin through the cloak.
"Who are you?"
"I am a friend of Duo's, I have XP hence the cloak, I know I must look strange but please is Duo here?"
"No he's not, neither is his brother, and I cannot get into Duo's room."
"He's not here? Where is he?" He looked at her worried hoping that she would invite him in.
"I don't know where they are, they are both gone, can you help me find them?" She thought for a moment /can I trust them?/.
"I will, let me in?" He imagined bright red blisters forming on his back.
She nodded solemnly. "Come in... you name?"
"Heero Yuy...could you close the curtains please?" She did as Heero asked, Heero then took off the large cloak.
"Do you know where I can find them?"
"I have a good idea." He went upstairs and found Duo's room, he put his hand on the door and forced it open, then walked in. Mrs. Malworth followed, /what is this boy/
Heero looked around the room, he sniffed the air discreetly. "He hasn't been here since he came to the base last night."
"What? He was at the base? Wyvern?" She frowned. "Did he meet you there? Is this your fault!?"
Heero glared at her. "I am heloing you! How dare you blame this one me!" /Duo you are at Wyvern aren't you, someone took you.../ Heero didn't want to think aobut what that meant. He looked down, below the edge of the bed was a slender book, he took it and put it in the pocket of the cloak he was now carrying. /Journal?/. He looked out the open window straying from the sunlight.
"I don't know who you are, but I don't appreciate you attitude." She said rather quietly.
"Look I know where he is, he is at the base, he is in danger, I'm sure, but I am the only one that can help him."
"What are you talking about!?" She stepped in front of him. "What have you been doing with my Duo!?" Heero raise a brow.
"Listen stay here and don't call the police, they will only get in the way, and probably cause us to loose them, do you understand."Heero looked her straight in the eye. "Do you understand!"
"Yes I do, but..."
"No buts! Either trust me or he dies." He put the cloak on, he sheiled his eyes from the sun and jumped out the open window.
"Wait Heero! I don't understand what is going on here!" She cried after him. she went down stairs and grabbed the phone. She looked at the buttons, then at the number on the fridge. Her fingers depressed the first six numbers, then she stopped. /"Trust me or Duo dies" Oh God help him/. She hung up the phone, adn slid down the wall crying. "where are you boys?"
Sparky was walking around Heero's room when he realized the smell he had been smelling was human. He cocked his head and sniffed the air. "It is familiar. Sparky think it is Duo." He walked down the corridor and foloowed his keen nose to a door on the bottom floor. He touched the wall and slowly went through it. Just as he suspected it was Duo, holding a younger boy who looke much like him minus the braide. /he he they are Shadow's new play things/. He crept closer to the two boys.
Duo suddenly looked up startled. "Hn?" he lied Daya back down. "What are you?" He looked at the creature before him.
"I am Sparky, looks like Heero will finally be rid of you. At his expense."
"What do you mean?"
"You are the reason he is so pale, the reason he is loosing strength, he hasn't eaten since he met you." Sparky walked closer to them. "Shadow will kill you both."
"Get out of here, leave us alone!" Duo glared at the creature who was talking to him.
"Because of you, he will destroy Heero too! All because of oyu! He has fallen in love with you and because of that he will die!" Sparky galred back at Duo.
/Heero? no no no, oh God what have I done/. He looked back at Daya. /This is all my fault/. Sparky left him.
Heero ran into the warehouse throwing off the cloak which had caught fire. Sometimes he thought the sun was alive and trying to kill him.
He looked around the large main room. Shadow and all the others should be asleep now. he went toward the ladder, suddenly he was surrounded, his father's minions all aorund him, atleast twenty.
Shadow walked into the them, they parted like the red sea. "Odin I was beginning to wonder where you had gone. Back to that slayer? You have betrayed us once too many." His voice was grossly calm, he walked around Heero. "That is alright, you will be punished later, for there are many in here that envy me. He carressed heero's face.
Heero glared at him, and grabbed Shadow's hand tossing it away. "They will die."
Shadow ignored this comment. "I have a surprise for you first." Shadow grabbed his shoulder tightly. "Come with me." he took him down to the last floor of the warehouse.
