AN: Hello! I have kept you waiting for some time now huh? I am sorry. But I hope you'll forgive me. I think this chapter is okay. I still need your approval of course but I think it'll work. Well any way sense I'm babbling, I'll just let you read the story. Oh by the way, I've tried my best to edit this sense my poor beta doesn't have time (or internet access). So I'm sorry for my grammar. See ya at the bottom!
Chapter Four of Quatre –chan in WonderlandWhile you were sleeping, the test of dreamers
I, Quatre Raberba Winner, pilot of the gundam Sand rock and heir to the Winner family dynasties and fortunes have never been this close to killing two people out of nothing but frustration. Well not entirely accurate, but close enough.
After my out burst the two finally seemed to come to terms on some thing. Letting her brother drop from where she had held him up by his robes she walked briskly over to me her face serious and a little dark. I stood my ground panting slightly from all the air it had taken when I had yelled. That and I was still getting over the shock of that man practically trying his best to seduce me in front of his sister. At least I hope it was his best, if he was better at it I might have been putty on the ground.
She bowed low before me, her face serious, and all emotions now firmly tucked away. "Forgive My brother and myself, you must be very confused as to why you were brought here." 'Understatement of the century.' I thought a little bitterly, but relaxed my stance a bit and nodded. "I have a few questions, the first of which being where is my friend? What have you done with Duo?" The man snorted looking my way. "We haven't done anything to your precious friend." I turned cold eyes to him and he smirked back. "Your friend is safe and sound sleeping in our shop." This didn't really reassure me as to his safety. Especially if that guy had access to him. But I looked to the girl who appeared to be the saner (if either were to begin with) of the two. She nodded calmly and seated her self cross-legged on the smooth grass. "Do you have any other questions Quatre-sama?" She asked almost imperiously. I wondered at her use of the Japanese suffix and the implications to rank. But didn't ponder it too much and asked the next question that was burning on my mind, and it was most likely what I should have asked form the start. "Are you with either the Romfellor foundation or OZ?" The girl looked puzzled, and then gave a slant look in her brother's direction. He sighed, straightening from his position, he walked over slowly and sat next to his sister. "We are with neither boy." He said coolly. Aha! Then they were with the colonies! "Not quit." He said, a small smile appearing on his face. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me as my face reflected my surprise. "Quatre- Sama, we are not with those human organizations. We are not interested in your skills or career as a gundam pilot."
He paused for am moment and motioned me to sit. "Perhaps you would like a seat before I continue one with the explanation?"
I shook my head no and crossed my arms over my chest. "No, no more delays, if your not interested in my skills as a gundam pilot, and your neither with the colonies nor the alliance or Romfellor then there has to be some thing you want badly from me. If you went to all this trouble there must be some thing that you want, badly. I want to know what it is." The man smirked at me then, and chuckled lightly. Propping his chin on his closed fist as he looked me squarely in the eye. "What if I told you our mission here was to allow you to express all of your wants?" He said smoothly. I blinked at him my mind puzzling? All of my want's? What in all of hell was he talking about? "I don't understand," I began. He smirked at me again, and I have to tell you it was getting damned annoying to see him just keep smirking at me like that.
He stood and I have to admit I stepped back wondering what he was going to do. Seeing as how my last experiences with him had been a bit to intimate for my tastes I really didn't relish the idea of being put in the same situation twice. Besides, he was starting to rub off annoyingly on me. He tossed his hair over his shoulder casually and the stood with a hand upon his hip. "Don't play coy little one. We both know exactly whom it is you want. It's not that hard to guess really, you have some pretty vivid dreams about him don't you?" I felt my face heat up as I gawked at him. I must have looked very amusing because I even heard his sister laugh. I snapped my jaw shut as he plastered this self-satisfied smirk on his face. "I – I have no idea who your talking about." I all but hissed I'm pretty sure my face was a pretty interesting shade of red.
He smiled widely. "You do know exactly who I speak of. His soft cinnamon hair. His piercing green eyes, his body so lithe and strong. A face chiseled to perfection with skin only slightly tanned. Are you telling me you don't have feelings for Trowa-kun?" I gaped at him. You cant really describe it any other way than that. Then my brain, which had been acting slower than usual today finally processed that he, had called my crush by name. "How do you know his name?" I asked breathlessly. My knees were folding under me and I suddenly sat down hard. How had they found out? I had never told anyone. Anyone but Duo. Ad he wouldn't do this to me. This was too far to be one of his jokes. "We know the names of all your comrades." He continued, sitting besides his sister once again he straightened his robes, face serious.
"You see Quatre-sama," continued his sister, oblivious to my shock. " We know the names of every one in this place. On the planet and in the colonies. Every one who dreams is connected to us. We are the guardians of humanities greatest wishes, desires, and fears." I starred at her numbly for a moment. "That's preposterous." I said dazedly. My head was spinning with this. I couldn't make sense of every thing. My mind was filled to capacity and about to explode. "You couldn't possibly, no human could . . ." I broke of, my mind coming to the only rational conclusion. And I asked my next question a little fearfully. "What are you?"
She smiled at me. This dark mysterious smile, and her onyx eyes twinkled merrily. "I believe you have heard of the legends. Those who dwell within the plain of sleep? The ones who guard over the dreamers of you world and guide them to there destinies?" I shook my head no. This couldn't be possible. Such mythical creatures had captured me? It wasn't possible. Even in the legends they had all died out. The dreamers of our world turning their backs on the religion that had sprouted them to life. They had died or fled high into the arcs of heaven to cast their spells from there. No. IT was not possible. "It is very possible Quatre-sama." She said, so softly, and then her smile grew wider.
"We have existed these hundreds of years past. Thou we do not monitor the dreams of mortals as often as we used to. Which is why yours struck us the most." I looked at her blankly for a moment. "Why? Why did my dreams strike you so? Is it because," I think I blushed again. My face began to heat and I looked down the ground. Digging my fingers into my pants leg. "Is it because he's another man? Is that why I'm here? So you can punish me for dreaming of another man?"
"Of course not." Her brother spoke from her side for the first time in this new vein of conversation. His face serious and his voice impassive. "The fact that you have love and desire for another man has nothing to do with it. It is the fact that you love him. So innocently, so completely. That attracted us. It has been centuries sense we have found anyone with a heart so pure. One who has fallen and cannot retake their feet. That is why we have come to offer you what you desire most." I starred at him for a moment and looked to his sister to see an identical set to her visage. They didn't really mean . . . They would grant him what he truly desired? But how? They couldn't.
"I wont!" I stood over them my feet suddenly finding ground once more and I became angry with my self. "I wont just take him like he's some kind of prize! That's not fair to him what of his feelings what of his wants? I couldn't do that to him simply because I –" the woman held her hand up for silence and my tirade died upon my lips. She looked up to me and smiled a slightly predatory smile. "Quatre-sama. We never said we would give Trowa-kun to you." I blinked owlishly at her for a moment. "But you just-."
"We said we would give you what you most desire." He said as he stood stretching his back. He grinned and looked me over like he did when I first saw him. "We never said it was going to be free." I looked from one to the other then slowly nodded my head. "What is it you wish me to do?" The woman looked pleased, and stood next to her brother. "You will be left in this world until we believe you have completed your task to it's fullest. We will not tell you what it is we wish from you. For that would defeat the purpose. Nothing in this world is ever what it seems and danger travels in abundance here. Live, and learn from this place all that you can. There will be many an obstacle you must face, and many things you must over come. Simply be true to your self. And fallow your heart."
"But don't get this wrong." Her brother cut in his voice impassive once again. "This is a gift and a chance to receive love from the one you want. However we cant force you. You have to want this for your self as well. So make the choice." I stood, silent as stone and I began to think. To turn things threw my head. I could have Trowa. I could use this chance to prove my self worthy of him. To finally feel his arms around me, to hear him whisper my name to me again and again. Or I could decline. Tell them to pick another. To grant the dreams and fantasies of another lucky person. Or I could return to my mission. Like I should. Pretend that this thing never happened and spend the rest of my life questioning my self. "Well Quatre-sama?"
I looked from one to the other. And slowly nodded my head. "I'll do it." She smiled brightly and approached me. Grasping my shoulder softly she kissed me gently on the cheek. I felt a strange surge of, some thing. It made my skin feel as if it rippled with energy and I gasped at the feeling. She backed away smiling once again and pointed to my neck. "That should give you bit of help along the way Quatre-sama." I looked down, puzzled as to what she was pointing too. There resting just below my color bone was a small silver bird. I couldn't really tell what it was. It's wings spread in a high arc, as it seemed to soar where it lay. The work was intricate, the tail feathers and wings lined with pale white gold and the body laced with the sparkle of some blue stone.
I starred at her for a moment in shock at the gift. And as I was about to question her of it, a bright shining light sprouted forth. Blinding in its intensity. I threw up my arms to block it, feeling a sudden gust of incredible wind as it whipped at me practically knocking me over. "Remember Quatre-sama, you must fallow your heart." I squinted my eyes as I tried to see them. But with the suddenness of it's appearance the light vanished. The winds began to die and I threw my arms down looking around wildly to see if I could find them. They were gone.
As I starred around the small green glade, the weight of what I had just done. Of what I had just agreed to do, fell fully upon my shoulders. I sank to my knees, sitting on bent legs in the long grass as one thought ran through my head. Now what am I going to do?
To be continued . . .
AN: Hey! I was getting more reviews for Q-chan in Wonderland than Never Stop so I decided to update this one next. It's no big deal. I'm kinda stuck on Never stop anyway. Oh as for my WW II fic, I'm putting that on hold until I get more time to do research on the Annex of France.
As I said, I want it to be as historically correct as I can get it. That and I haven't been able to get that far on it. Well in any case I hope you like this chapter. Reviews are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Notes for the suffix's and my dream creatures.
Sama- Lord, one whose station is much higher than yours. Such as Sesshomaru –Sama, in English translates Lord Sesshomaru.
Kun- A suffix used for a male friend or acquaintance. Such as my friend Jayme-kun, the female suffix for an acquaintance or friend is chan like my friend and Beta reader Jazzy-Chan.
As for what my Oc's were. I have no Idea. I don't know if there were any kinds of mythological creatures like that in Arabic mythology. But I do know some cultures around the world believe in creatures or gods who control dreams and such. I couldn't figure out what to call them so I decided to leave them nameless. As for the characters them selves I decided to wait on naming them. As I'm pretty sure some thing will come to me eventually.
I hope you're not too disappointed. Maybe I'll redo this some day if it doesn't impress you. Oh well that'll happen when it happens.
