Many Faces

Chapter 9

The group entered the seemingly empty house, it was large and full of cobwebs and dust. Duo looked over at the walls carefully creeping over the wooden floor. "Hey, I found something, it's like a hidden door!" Duo called to the others.

They opened the door carefully before walking down into the darkness. Duo shined a flashlight into the darkness immediately jumping at the sight of a grinning doll covered in webs glaring down at them. "Duo, I don't like this, come on, let's just go.", Heero said.

"Why are you scared?", Duo asked him.

"No, I just, it's just...", Heero stammered, "I'm just worried about you tripping over something in this darkness."

"Right.", Duo said, shining the flashlight around the place, he soon found a wall with whips and chains on it.

Heero's hand seemed to be rather sweaty and soon, he seemed to stumble back. Duo shined the flashlight on him and saw Heero staring owl eyed behind Duo. Duo turned and shined the way that Heero had been looking and found a dog skeleton. "Oh my God.", Duo muttered.

"I don't want to be here anymore, Duo, please just... Just get me out of here...", Heero whispered desperately.

"Right, right...", Duo replied, following Heero outside of the house followed by the other pilots.

"That was creepy...", Quatre replied.

"Yeah, I thought so myself.", Duo replied.

"How're you doing, Heero?", Quatre asked.

"I- I don't want to go back in, I- I remember.... I remember...", Heero looked down at his hands.

Tears streaked his face as he sat down on the curb. "It's okay... Hee- chan.", Duo said, patting Heero on the shoulder.

.....

It had been a few days since they had returned from the little trip to that creepy house and although upset, Heero was okay. They hadn't seen any signs of the multiple personality showing, so for now at least he was temporarily cured. So, they all got back to their lives. Though about two months later no one was surprised when a news report said that Dr. J. had been found dead in his current residence.

End Story: Give me a couple more weeks and I'll have all of them wrapped up.
