Dead Shadow
Chapter 4

I came into the house, panting and my face nearly covered in sweat. Duo turned around and just stared at me.
"What the hell happened to you?" he said. "You look like you ran a marathon or somethin'."
If he only knew. How could I possibly say anything after what happened? Besides, Lemar threatened to
kill me if I said even a word. Nevertheless I had to make up something. Finally I came up with a story,
and just as I was about to speak the phone rang. Duo quickly ran to the phone and answered it.
Suddenly it became quiet as he placed the phone back on the reciever. Duo turned to me, his skin almost
deathly white.
"What's the matter?" I asked softly.
He struggled and stuttered to make the words come out.
"T-That was Heero from the hospital. T-Trowa's gotten in an a-accident and they don't think he's gonna make it through
the night."
I suddenly felt as if my whole world had fallen. Did I just hear him right? Trowa, the one person I could trust my life
with, is going to die? No, no! It can't be! Tears started to run down my cheeks as Duo tried to comfort me.
On our way there on his bike (I knew I was going to be sick afterwards) he told me the rest of the information.
Apparantly Trowa was riding his motorcycle home after doing some errands, when a car slammed into his bike and sent him
crashing into a tree. The bike was totaled and he was bleeding severely. Now he was in intensive care and they were trying
to find a blood donor but his type was very rare. As Duo kept talking, all I could think about was losing him. I didn't want
him to die. Honestly, I was in love with him but I was too shy to tell him. Of course the others didn't know about it either.
What would they think if they knew I had fallen for a man and that I was a vampire? (They'd probably think I was on drugs, but
that might be another story).
Finally arriving at the hospital, I ran in to find Heero and Wufei standing in the lobby with deep looks of worry, which suprised
me since they normally didn't show any emotion. They informed me that they would turn off the machines at midnight tonight.
Still shaken and crying, I asked Heero to take me to Trowa's room. With a silent nod, he took me down an endless hallway to room 115.
I walked in only to see numerous tubes, machines making strange noises and Trowa lying in the bed. He looked so peaceful even though
I knew he was in pain. I turned to Duo and told him to leave me with Trowa for a while. As he left, I just stared at him. His body,
now lifeless and cold. I didn't want to lose him. My eyes filled with tears again as I sobbed by his bedside.
"Dammit! What can I do to save him?!" I cried out to no one.
"My, my. Did you suddenly forget that you're not human?"
I raised my head and recognized that voice.
"Lemar. What the hell do you want?"
He suddenly appeared beside me, still wearing the same clothes he had when I had first met him earlier that evening.
"That is no way to greet your creator," he whispered in a cold tone. "I only wanted to help you."
His eyes glared at Trowa for a moment.
"You're in love with this man aren't you?"
I nodded silently as he whispered to me again.
"Then give him the same flesh that you have. Make him a vampire."
"M-Make Trowa a vampire? But, but - "
"No 'buts'," he inturupted. "If you want your sweetheart here to live, make him like you. Of course if you want him to die, it's your choice."
I only thought of it a moment before I made my decision. Carefully I placed my lips on Trowa's neck, his flesh slightly cold.
"I'm sorry", I whisper just as I sink my fangs into his neck. His blood tastes surprisingly sweet as I lap it up hungrily. Continuing until I've
had my fill, I pull away from him, bite my right wrist and press it to his lips.
"Please Trowa, take it. I don't want to lose you," I muttered.
Trowa slowly opened his mouth and tasted what was before him. Greedily he began to take more of my blood until I finally managed to free my wrist.
He looked around in surprise then placed his eyes on me.
"Q-Quatre? What are you doing here?" He then notices the blood on his sheets. "What's going on?"
"Trowa, you're going to be okay", I said as I hugged him with a soft smile. Lemar was hiding in the shadows the whole time.
"Stupid emotions", he muttered as he vanished.
I looked into Trowa's eyes and took a deep breath.
"I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time."
"And what would that be, Quatre?"
"I....I love you."
Trowa just stared for a moment, rather surprised. I didn't know if he was mad or anything, but then he leaned forward and gently kissed me on the lips.
Just as quickly he pulled back and I had a surprised look on my face too. As I kissed him back, I had no idea that I might lose him - forever...
