A red light shone from the car to the Private's right. He ignored it; battling with a gundam pilot was more important. In less than three hours, he was due to fight Duo at 186 Rancorous Street. Little did the pilot know, this street had little more than abandoned houses and an old factory- perfect for a murder. Or several. No one visited the site anymore, so if anyone was killed, the only clue would be if someone actually tried to contact one of the victims. It was the perfect crime. Almost. There was just one problem, this factory was run down, so it had no power. This wasn't terribly important, it would have just made the Private's job easier.
"PRIVATE BROWN." A voice boomed from his left. The Private jumped to his feet.
"S- sir, y- yes, s- sir!" He saluted nervously.
"You know what to do?"
"A- a- abs- absol- absolut... Y- yes s- sir!" His Corporal nodded approvingly.
"Good. Here are your supplies."
Duo looked down at his watch, the street lights dimming around him as he made his way to 186 Rancorous St.; made his way to Hilde. This was perhaps his final chance, he thought, 'To save Hilde. Maybe my only chance...' Duo bit down on his lower lip. He didn't want to have to kill, but this was obviously what it would come down to... But could he do it? Sure, he'd killed before, but that had been in wars, and there hadn't been any blood. Now was different, now there was a person, a soul, and no war. Taking in a shaky breath, Duo clenched his fists and ran towards 186.
'How could an angel like you fall so low?'
"Do you see where you are going?"
"What?" Hilde sat up and looked around the foreign space. Her hand immediately flew to her head, it ached like hell. 'Turpentine...' She thought. Hilde stood up on shaky legs.
"Do you see where you are going?"
"Who are you? Where are you?" She tried to find the voice, but the source was undetectable. "What's going on?" A chestnut braid flashed in front of her eyes, stained with blood.
"Do you see where you are going?" Hilde stood up, taking a broad stride to the left. The voice fell silent. The darkness around her was petrifying. She took a step forward and fell through, far, far under ground.
"DUO!"
Hilde sat up in shock. A dream, that was all it was. 'Just a dream...' She sighed. That turpentine was playing tricks on her, on her mind. The dosage had been high, far too high, Hilde noted, as she felt her head lurch suddenly. Her stomach churned sickeningly, and her eyes fluttered open. She was atop a building, and it was bleak, stony even. She couldn't make much out yet, but she could tell she'd been out for hours. Suddenly a gun was jammed into her back. Her face contorted lividly.
"Don't make a move," A low voice hissed. "For it could be your last." Hilde nodded slowly, in order to show her understanding. The gun was slowly moved further from her back, but Hilde could still tell it was pointed towards her, and no doubt about it, she was going to see someone die soon. She shivered involuntarily.
'Duo, don't come. Please don't come. I don't want to see you get hurt, please, Duo... Don't come...' The wind was her only answer, it began to whip around her sending her bangs in waves across her forehead, it whistled balefully. She felt her fists clench.
The pilot glanced back down at his watch. Five minutes until twelve. He tucked his crucifix under his shirt, and made sure his knife was well attached to his foot. He didn't own a gun anymore. Not since the war had ended. Owning guns was unheard of, and anyone who had one in their possession was considered 'A threat to Mrs. Relena Peacecraft and her ideals,' which Duo thoroughly agreed with. At this point in time, no one should have to own a gun. He paused eloquently, spotting the looming, shadowy building ahead. The numbers 1-8-6 were carved into the wall ominously. Duo ignored it, he couldn't allow his nerves to act up. He spotted the shapes atop the building, there was no turning back now. Three bodies littered the building. Duo hoped that all of them were alive- especially if one was Hilde.
"So, you're the pilot." The Corporal grinned evilly towards Duo. He walked over to Hilde slowly, and as Duo moved for his knife- he watched in shock as the man pulled out a gun, pointing it towards her neck. Duo felt his heart quicken. "Ah, ah, ah... Let's not be so hasty. You make a move and the girl dies." Duo paused fearfully.
'No...'
This bloody road remains a mystery... This sudden darkness fills the air. What are we waiting for? Won't anybody help us? What are we waiting for? We can't afford to be innocent... Stand up and face the enemy, it's a do or die situation... We will be invincible. This shattered dream you cannot justify, we're gonna scream until we're satisfied... What are we running for? We've got the right to be angry!
What are we running for? When there's nowhere we can run to anymore... We can't afford to be innocent... Stand up and face the enemy, it's a do or die situation... We will be invincible, and with the power of conviction, there is no sacrifice... It's a do or die situation, we will be invincible. Won't anybody help us? What are we running for? When there's nowhere, nowhere we can run to anymore...
We can't afford to be innocent. Stand up and face the enemy, it's a do or die situation... We will be invincible, and with the power of conviction, there is no sacrifice. It's a do or die situation, we will be invincible. We can't afford to be innocent, stand up and face the enemy... It's a do or die situation we will be invincible!
Angels
How could an angel like you fall so low?
The shadows will guide you under new-fallen snow.
You must till the new pillars of stone, the sun lies above.
The ultimate darkness cannot consume... the moon shines like a dove.
An angel without wings, is no angel at all...
A devil shows no mercy, to those who fall...
To understand without love, and to kill without hate,
To have the heart of a child- What a cruel fate!
One must learn to see the world or learn to walk unseen.
All must learn to write the word that one does truly mean.
Make it be widely known, angel's feathers may seem like tears,
But if the human race continues as such, this shall dissipate throughout the years.
How could an angel like you fall so low?
The shadows will guide you under new-fallen snow.
