"Get up!"
The voice was a demand and it penetrated my thoughts fully begging me to come awake. I blinked and tried to determine where I was. I could hear voices. I felt something wet falling on my face. Opening my eyes wide I looked up. It was night. There were trees blowing all round me as rain beat down on my body.
"Get up!"
The voice demanded again and I felt a pressure on my arm as if someone was pulling me to my feet. "Who…" I managed with a raged breath. I was shocked to realize I couldn't lift myself up. It didn't make sense.
"Heero you have to get up."
This time the voice was desperate. I didn't know who was calling me. I wanted to know, but the identity of the voice alluded me. I turned my shaking vision to my side were the voice was still pulling at my arm. My breath caught in my throat as I took in the shaky vision. A saw stinging blond hair and deep aqua eyes as a flash of lightening lit the forest. The woman was beautiful. There was water dripping off her face and down her slender neck. I wanted to know who she was. I reached my hand up and cupped her cheek. She looked at me as if I were crazy her eyes widening in shock. "Beautiful." I croaked and fell into unconsciousness.

All I knew was that I had to get him out of here. There was no telling when the oz soldier would return. If we didn't move quickly we would both be caught. Desperately I looked over my shoulder at the shattered mobile suit. There had to be something in there that I could use. Giving Heero one last fleeting look I ran to the suit tripping all the way on sodden slippery leaves and newly made mud. My feet splashed through the puddles sending sprays of liquid up soaking the pant legs of my business suit. I didn't care though I had to help him.
The suit wasn't hard to reach and I grabbed hold of the destroyed cockpit door and pulled myself into the seat. On the way up my thigh caught a piece of sharp metal and I let out a cry as it tore into my skin as I slid up the slickened suit into the compartment. Desperately I shut my eyes and hissed as I felt the blood running down my leg now that I was shielded from the rain. It hurt. I couldn't remember something ever hurting so badly. I ignored the pain though. I had to find something to help Heero.
My hands were pulling at compartments, ripping pieces of metal as I frantically searched. Finally I found a compartment in the floor and pulled the door open. A flash of lightening lit the space and I saw it a little black box on the floor. Reaching inside I lifted it out and flipped the clips on the side pulling the case open. An array of medical supplies dazzled my eyes and I shut it carefully and clutched it to my chest. At least now I could bandage his wounds. Tucking the case under my arm I moved back to the storage space and found a pair of clothes two blankets and a small pack of food and water. I thanked god that the former pilot of this mobile suit had been so prepared and that Heero had thankfully picked this suit.
Pulling the items to my chest, I looked out over the top of the suit cockpit and back into the rain. I didn't have much time. They would be coming for us soon. As if on cue I saw the thick stream of a spotlight lighting the forest. I almost screamed as a suit appeared overhead. Scrambling from the cockpit I raced with my newfound supplies tucked under my arms to where Heero lay. His eyes were still shut and blood mixed with water ran down the side of his face. I knew he wasn't going to wake up and I knew that I'd never be able to carry of the supplies without help.
I felt tear of frustration building in my eyes as I was faced with the dilemma. It didn't seem fair that he had saved me a hundred times and I couldn't return the favor once. Pulling one of the blankets free I dumped all the stuff in it and tied the ends together. Satisfied for the moment I looped it around my arm and turned back to Heero. I could hear the suit over head. I wouldn't be long until they found us and I wasn't going back to that prison and Heero was going there at all. Calling on strength I never knew I possessed I wrapped my arms around Heero's waist and lifted him up with a mighty heave. He fell onto my shoulder and I almost buckled under the weight. I wasn't used to this. Groaning, I forced myself to my feet and pulled Heero up with me half of him hanging over one shoulder.
Looking up I saw the think beam heading for where we sat and I took my first step forward. I was so weighted down I didn't think I would be able to take another step and my leg was throbbing. I took another step and another when my leg crumpled underneath me and I fell on the ground Heero flying from my arms and into the brush. I screamed then full of rage and sorrow. I wasn't going to let it end like this. I wasn't going to let them get him. Scrambling back to where he lay I lifted him again. This time it was a little easier and I started walking. I was moving faster this time perhaps my determination making it possible. I could hear the suit overhead and I knew I had to move faster. 'Please.' I begged. 'Help me.' No sooner had the words left my mouth that I felt lighter and I started to jog.
I don't know how long I'd run or how far I'd gone. The rain was still pouring all around me and branches ripped at my suit tearing it from my body and slapping my exposed skin, but I didn't stop. Finally I didn't hear the suit anymore and the rain had begun to slacken. I was still moving though refusing to stop, not now.
Though the rain had stopped a few flashes of stray lightening still lit the sky. As I came around a particularly large throng of trees I saw a large shadow in the night. I squinted my eyes unsure of what it was I was looking at. Then another flash filled the sky and I knew. It was a shack. 'Oh God.' I thought relief rushing over me in waves. Somewhere to stop. Taking a shaking step forward I made my way to the door. I hadn't noticed until now that my legs where shaking and my breathing was erratic.
As soon as I stepped onto the porch and pushed the door open my legs gave out and with a small cry of exhaustion I fell onto the floor. The supplies that had been carefully packed in my blanket flew from the pack and scattered across the floor. I was unable to move. My shoulders were aching with pain I didn't believe imaginable and my legs were throbbing. The cut on my thigh was pulsating. My whole body was worn out. I couldn't move. I let my face fall onto the rough wooden floor and closed my eyes for a moment. I remembered Heero then. He was probably still bleeding. He was hurt, and I had to help him.
Tears of hurt and exertion poured down my cheeks as I pushed myself to my hands and knees. I hurt so much. Looking around in the dark I saw the black case lying not to far from me. Reaching out I grabbed hold of the handle and pulled it to me. I pushed the door shut with my foot and moved to where Heero lay on his back his arms spread to either side of him. The lightening was still flashing and I somehow made out the wound on his head. It was the only one I could see though. I knew there were others, but that was all I managed to see. Prying the case open I took out some bandages and medicine and cleaned and dressed his head wound. When I was finally finished a saw an unfamiliar light filtering in through the cracks of the cabin.
"Sunlight." I said absently. "It's morning." My arms sagged as I thought of the night I had just experienced. My face fell and I found myself unconsciously sinking toward the floor. Shivering from the cold and exhaustion I let my eyes close. One arm was flung out resting on Heero's chest. I could feel him breathing as my hand rose with each breath. I felt good knowing I kept him from being caught. That was the last thought before I fell asleep or passed out, to consumed by exhaustion to know which.
So what do you guys think???????
