Once Upon The Night Of Death
By: Moonlit Love

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing but I own (most) of this story line.

Prologue Part Six: Fate
Heero was the first to realize it was not coming from any of girls' rooms. He saw
it was from the tech room. He ran into the room hoping it was information on why all
this was happening when it should have been done quite a while ago. The printer was
still printing, but there was a few pieces of paper sitting in the document tray.

Heero scanned over the short documents which had finished printing by now.
There was only fragments of material which offered any real idea of what was going on.
"Hey, Heero. What info was sent?" Duo wondered.

"I got some information to try see why the girls all had just recently had a brush
with Death. All the database could come up with was one of two things. One being
Death was growing stronger and not needing to rest anymore, or it was a sort of sign to
tell us what to expect. Either way it is not good," Heero informed him and Trowa, who
had entered the room silently.

"Right. So one way or another Death is coming, right?" Duo asked, a little down.

"Yes, it is correct. But it also had some stuff on information for candidates for the
next protectors. The top dogs are sensing Death is going to be coming back, this time
with no mercy. We have to start preparing. I recommend having some type of reunion
with your Gundam, you never know who Death will entitle to help it with the revenge it
must want from us," Heero replied.

"That it?" Trowa wondered.

"No, the girls will be out for some time. We don't know when they will wake up,
but it may not be ever if Death really is still out there. If it doesn't need rest, who can
rest?"

It was quiet in the room. The green blips moved as silent as soldiers as they
marched dutifully across the screen. Even the breeze from the outside window chose to
be noiseless. A clock softly chimed to toll the hour. Everything was noisy, but in the
quietest fashion.

Duo looked up and concentrated on reading the bright, green letters on the screen
in front of him. They rarely changed, and if they did the changes went unnoticed.
'Death, this is what is causing a silence in which none of us can escape. In only three
days it has re-haunted our lives and made us fear for the safety of those whom we have
just found once again,' Duo thought to himself, knowing his voice would slice through
the silence like a knife through thick tension.

The noisy tapping of computer keys usually filled a deep silence, but it only
seemed to deafen him as he watched over her. Heero stopped typing and looked at her
innocent face sleeping in a peaceful sleep. He gently caressed her forehead with his
thumb and was glad her fever had gone down some. He hoped she would soon awaken, it
was too lonely for him.

Heero had never known the pain of loneliness until she came into his life, now he
couldn't stand to be without her. He knew emotions now he never knew even existed.
His life used to be just a job, now it had turned into a life. He couldn't stand the silence
filling his ears, heart, and soul. "Please wake-up soon, Relena. I can't stand the sound of
silence and you are the only one who can break it for me," Heero whispered almost
inaudibly.

~*~
Trowa sat next to Catherine, his ears straining to hear the impossible. All he
heard was silence, he did not hear her voice. He knew she would be asleep a little longer,
but he wanted her with him now. He missed her and he couldn't stand the silence he had
been so used to.

Everyone had always called him the strong, silent type. Only know he didn't like
silence, now he wanted to hear the joyous noise of her laughter. He didn't want the Death
curse hanging over her head, either. But life was not always what you wanted. You had
to suffer the bad before you could cherish the good.

~*~
The entire house was eerily quiet. The was only soft sounds disturbing the almost
complete silence. The sound of silence echoed through the halls and into the rooms. And
only a miracle would stop it, the miracle of the girls waking up.

~*~
Soon everything would happen. It was inevitable to ignore the fact that Death
loomed over their lives.

Thanks for reading! I know this is really short. Sorry! I promise next chapter will be
longer, especially if you review! Please review, it can be good or bad, I don't care. I love
to read all reviews. If it is bad, tell me what you didn't like about it. If it was good, tell
me what you liked about it. I will try to avoid my mistakes in the future and keep up what
I am doing good as well.
