"What do you mean you are down to one person you can kill?! Have you tried to kill Heero?!" Chasity yelled at her.

"He tried first and I returned the favor. Besides I missed him when I tried to shoot him. There is a hole by his door if you don't believe me." Ashleigh folded her arms over her chest as she defended herself.

"You do know that Leaha is still on your list right?" Duo pointed out as he walked up behind Ashleigh and pulled her off the floor, "They are awake now go." He turned her towards the kitchen and gave her a little push.

"But-"

"I'll make you sleep in your room tonight." He folded his arms over his chest and glared at her.

"Fine." She grumbled then turned to Donna and Chasity, "Do you guys want anything to eat?"

"I'm starving!" Chasity raised her hand and stood up.

The girls retreated into the kitchen and got something to eat. After they were done with dinner Ashleigh opted to show them where they could sleep from now on. On the way to the rooms when Duo wasn't around Donna took the opportunity to ask Ashleigh a question that was tugging at her mind.

"What did Duo mean when he said 'I'll make you sleep in your room tonight'?" She whispered.

"See five days ago I had one of my dreams and slept in Duo's room cause I felt safe there." Ashleigh explained to her.

"What, did you just go to his room in the middle of the night and crawl into bed with him?" Donna liked at her friend puzzled.

"NO! He was gone for four days and I slept in his bed alone. He came home last night and we slept in the same bed, but nothing happened. You should know me better than that Donna." Ashleigh fiercely whispered back.

"Alright, alright. I was just asking." Donna held her hands up in defense.

Heero walked through the front door at about 11:30pm and saw a light on in the study.

"Who would be up this late that sits in the study?" He said to himself as he walked into the study.

He saw Ashleigh curled up in a chair with what looked like a sketchbook and multiple pencils lying around. He groaned and went over to her. He picked up the few pencils and set them on the table next to pieces of paper that we neatly stacked and had drawings on them.

He shuffled through them and grinned to himself. There were portraits of Wufei, Trowa, Quatra, Duo, and a group one of the Gundams. But where was one of him? He set the drawings down and looked at Ashleigh.

Did she really hate him that much to not do a picture of him? This and many questions swam through is head. For a moment you could see a look in his eyes that looked hurt, but was quickly replace with the normal emotionless stare.

Heero bet down and took the sketchbook from her lap and placed it with the other pictures. After he put it down did he really look at it. I had a colored portrait of him looking content, but on the verge of him looking..............happy? Smiling almost.

Heero turned back to Ashleigh and smirked at her.

"Even in her sleep she tends to look carefree." He then quickly thought of a problem. 'Where am I going to put her? In her room or Duo's?'

It took several long seconds to decide to put her in her room. He had thought about putting her in Duo's room, but he didn't want to see Duo cranky if he woke him up. He had witnessed that sight before and vowed to never see it again.

Heero turned out the lamp and picked the sleeping Ashleigh up carefully as so not to wake her. He had kept her from sleeping before and just about earned himself a bullet to the chest last night and if she was anything like Duo when he was woken up without a good reason then there would be hell to pay.

Heero carried her upstairs and turned the doorknob to her room. He looked over at her bed to find it occupied.

'Who would be sleeping in her room?' Heero thought as he shut the door again and decided to check it out when Ashleigh was put to bed, "Great where am I going to put her now?" He sighed as he sifted her slightly.

"Donna?..................Chasity?.....................no..........no........ ...." Ashleigh began to fidget as the nightmare once again plagued her mind.

'Must be friends of hers.' He inwardly shrugged and decided to put Ashleigh in his room so he could check to see who occupied her room.

* * *

"Duo? Heero? Quatra? Trowa? Wufei? Donna? Chasity? Where is everyone?" Ashleigh walked around the mansion looking for everyone.

It was a stormy and no one was around. The rain beat against the windows and the wind howled. A nearby tree banged it's branches against the giant window at the end of the hall.

"Come on guys this isn't funny anymore." Her voice was shaky as she walked down the upstairs hallway.

Ashleigh kept walking till she came to Quatra's door then felt the house shake. After she had made sure that it had stopped she walked up to the door.

"Quatra? Are you in here?" Ashleigh knocked and when there was no answer she opened the door and peered in.

The sights made her want to vomit, pass out, and scream. Quatra was lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. He had been shot in the heart. Then over by the bed Wufei laid slumped up against the wall. He had been shot also. This time there was another figure in the room as well. Donna. She was sprawled out in between Quatra's bathroom and the room. Her throat had been cut. Ashleigh did the only thing she could do, she ran out of the room crying.

She ran to Trowa's room and pounded on it.

"TROWA! Open the door please! Quatra, Wufei, and Donna are dead. Please open the door!" She put her hand on the doorknob and surprisingly it was unlocked, "Trowa?" Ashleigh peered around the door.

This time she didn't close the door. She walked in and noticed that the carpet was soggy by the bathroom door. She knocked on it and received no answer. Ashleigh opened the door and saw Trowa laying on the floor shot through the abdomen and Chasity had been drowned in the overflowing bathtub.

"Not Trowa and Chasity too." She gasped then ran to Duo's room.

Once she was in the room she checked around for any bodies. Luckily for her there wasn't any, but the closet door was wide open. She carefully peered around it and saw a stairway. Ashleigh carefully walked down the steps as not to trigger one of Duo's alarm systems. When she reached the end fires greeted her.

Ashleigh had found the passageway that led to the hangers that contained the Gundams, but they had been destroyed.

"Duo?! Heero?!" She called out as she tried looking around in the debris for them. It looked like someone had blown it up. Ashleigh then saw an arm underneath a concrete slab. She managed to get it off the person and gasped to see Heero. He was dead as well.

"Oh god please don't let Duo be gone. Please. I don't want to lose anymore friends." She prayed as she kneeled next to Heero, "How can you die Heero? You've blown yourself up before why couldn't you survive a piece of concrete?"

After a few moments Ashleigh then got up and began to search for Duo.

"Duo! Duo answer me!" Ashleigh called out.

After 5 mins of looking she finally found him by Deathscythe.

"Duo!" She yelled and ran over to his body. He had scorch marks on his cloths and his body was all cut up, "Duo please be alive. Don't leave me." She sobbed and picked up his upper body and held him.

"A-ash-le-igh.........get out while you can." He opened his eyes and lifted his hand to her face,

"Go now.......I love you."

"No Duo don't leave me. I can get you out of here and get you to a doctor. Don't give up. Please............no one else is alive."

"You must leave..........don't come back."

"No. I'm not going to leave you. Never."

"Look out behind you!" He yelled.

Ashleigh put him down then stood up and turned around to get a sword to the abdomen.

"Uhh.......n....no." She uttered as the sword was pulled from her and she fell to her knees.

She looked up and saw fuzzily a figure then she collapsed on the floor and looked up. Then 6 more figures circled around her body and snickered at her. Then the sound of 7 gunshots echoed.

* * *

"No!" Ashleigh awoke abruptly crying and panting.

As she woke up she felt someone put their hands on her shoulders and gently press down.

"Let me go." She struggled against it, "I have to help them. Let me go."

"Calm down. Ashleigh clam down." Heero snapped at her as she struggled against him.

Ashleigh focused her eyes on the figure and stopped struggling, "H-h-h- heero?" She stuttered as she caught her breath.

"You were dreaming again." He said in his monotone voice as he released her shoulders allowing her to sit up.

Ashleigh quickly scanned her surroundings as she sat up, "This is your room isn't it?" She looked at him in confusion.

"When I walked in you were in the study sleeping. I would have put you in your room, but it was occupied. I brought you here so I could go check it out." He explained as he stood up and pulled out his gun.

"It's okay Heero. That is only Donna. She's harmless." She reassured him not wanting to see her friend at gun point, "Her and another girl, Chasity, fell through the ceiling while you were gone. There were no other rooms so I let Donna have mine and i'll be in Duo's room." She calmly explained to him and let out a sigh of relief when he put his gun away.

"Do you know either of them?"

"I've known Donna, she is one of my friends, and Chasity I didn't know till tonight." She swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up.

Ashleigh walked up to Heero and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you for trying to put me to bed Heero. I know I may fight with you, but just to let you know I do care if something happens to you." She whispered and she walked to the door then turned around, "By the way..........you might want to be careful around Chasity. She knows of the Gundam Wing show and well, lets say she has a thing for you." Ashleigh turned back towards the door and reached for the door knob then stopped herself and face Heero again, "Heero...."

"What?" He stood there looking at her in his normal emotionless face.

"I want to let you know that you and the rest of the guys have made my stay nice. I do admit that we did have our rocky start and fights, but I was wondering if we could be friends. See you are second in my heart of the people I care deeply for. And to say my second favorite Gundam pilot. I will be there for you if you need anything or help. Good night." Ashleigh grabbed the doorknob and opened the door and began to walk out.

"Ashleigh...."

"Yes?" She turned her head and looked at him under her eyelashes.

"You are a good artist and i'm willing to start over with you."

Ashleigh smiled and looked down at the floor before replying, "Thank you Heero. That means a lot coming from you." She quickly shut the door behind her and walked to Duo's room.

* * *

Donna walked into the kitchen to have a cold breeze greet her. She looked over at the back door and noticed that it was open. She wrapped the robe that she found in Ashleigh's room and wrapped it around her body trying to keep the cold air out. She move a piece of her dirty blond hair behind her ear and walked to the door and began to the door before she shrieked.

"OH MY GOD!!" She put her hand up to her mouth and her eyes wide with sadness and terror.

"What's the matter?!" Duo skidded through the kitchen door to see Donna staring outside shaking.

"Oh my god!" She yelled again, but quieter than the last time and pointed outside then fell to her knees, "A-a-ash-ashleigh................." Donna then fainted.

"What's going on?" Heero ran into the kitchen gun in hand then looked at Duo who was standing in front of the back door then at the fallen form of Donna then back at Duo, "Duo?"

Duo dropped his gun and ran outside. He was as pail as a sheet and shaking as her knelt down to the figure that was lying outside in a pool of their own blood. He picked it up and held it closely.

"Ashleigh......."
