Quatre-chan in wonderland
By: Vanacorien
A/N: Hello all you lovely people! I got reviews on this one and sense I'm kinda stuck on Never stop. I figured I might as well try to start chapter 5 of QCIWL. I will tell you now, my beta Jazzy cannot use her computer as it is constantly invaded by her siblings. There fore. If there are grammatical errors. I am sorry. I am beta-ing this my self until a time when she can make her self available to me. Now with out further adou, here it is!
Chapter five : A walk on the wild side.
Eventually I had to move. The circulation to my bent legs was begging to suffer and my stomach started groaning loudly for food. Slowly I stood, wobbling due to the loss of feeling in my legs. I stretched slowly as the thought of where to go from here entered my still primarily shell shocked mind. All things considered I had not only abandoned my mission, but I had also abandoned my friend to the hands of those creatures for a shot at true love. Now that I thought more and more about it, I began to feel guilty for making such a selfish choice. Slowly I began to walk in small circles stretching my still some what numb legs and feeling the beginnings of dread pool in my stomach. If the safe house is attacked and Heero and Wufei have to try to take both our gundams, they'll be considerably slowed and there chances of escape impaired. How ever it was the thought of what Heero would do to me if he found Duo in the hands of that filthy letch that really made my palms sweat.
Suddenly deciding that I would let these things weigh on my mind latter I stopped moving in circles long enough to weigh my options. I could go in any direction I wanted really. The forest wasn't too dense on either side of the clearing and both seemed fairly bright and sunny. Looking closer, I could see that the path in front of me was a little bit more traveled than the one behind me. My stomach growled again and I was dosed with a small reality check. If I were going to be staying here for any amount of time, I would have to be able to eat. I didn't have my gun. I suppose they had kept it with them or some thing (probably good, sense I would have shot that lecherous basterd for touching me). But I certainly couldn't hunt or the like with out any weapons. And at least if I came in contact with a village I might be able to trade some work for food. My mind set , I strode for ward into the thin under brush battering it away carefully so as not to catch on the robe I still wore as part of my disguise. "So now it begins." I whisper to my self. And grin at the childish thrill of adventure I suddenly feel. This will be . . .
"The most idiotic, stupid, moronic, worst thing I could have ever agreed to or concocted." I shivered again and grumbled lightly to my self as the rain poured down harder, stinging my scalp with it's harsh beating and sending sheets more of liquid down and threw my already soaked clothing. I stumbled, a little blindly sense the light has faded stepping deep into a mud puddle and cursing my luck yet again. It had gone quit well for most of the day , it had been sunny and bright and the path had been smooth and clear. I had high hopes after I had stumbled onto a road of sorts. Though the wheel ruts were odd and I had yet to really see any one I still had high hopes.
That crashed and burned quickly after I had seen a thunder head coming my way. Now it must have been night due to the total lack of light and I could barely see the road let alone where I was going. I shivered harder and wrapped my arms around my self stumbling a bit in the pot holes that I couldn't see. I looked ahead and squinted my eyes a bit as I tried to see any thing of consequence. Nothing, not on the road ahead of me nor behind me. The only thing of any note what so ever was the large aged tree towering over the road to my right. I shuddered again and looked around one more time. Nothing. I sighed and stumbled over to the tree shaking my head like a dog to dislodge some of the cold water. The tree was a giant. It's trunk looked to be as wide as a cabin and twice as tall as any sky scraper I had seen. Sighing I huddled to my self and leaned back against the tree. Thanks to the think canopy it was much dryer under there and a bit less muddy though not by much on either account. My feet hurt a bit , I had been walking all day which I didn't often do. And my back and shoulders hurt as well. I slide down the trunk until I was sitting with me knees to my chest and my arms crossed over them.
Looking out at the rain cold and shivering ,I couldn't help but think this wouldn't be happenings if I had refused their offer. I wouldn't be out here, drenched and almost certainly bound to wake up with a cold. I wouldn't be sitting here under some bloody tree wearing an old robe that smelt like wet camels , with my stomach growling piteously. I wouldn't be looking for a chance to make Trowa fall in love with me. And I certainly wouldn't be sleeping on the ground. I stopped as my mind went back and pointed out the key term there, I wouldn't be looking for a chance to make Trowa fall in love with me. No, that is one thing I cant blame them for. I was looking for a way to get to him way before this laps in judgment took place. Now, I had simply realized it.
Sighing I shook my head and sat up resolutely straighter. No more of this whining. I had accepted this and it most certainly was too late to turn back now. I relaxed my self against the tree feeling the warm spot my body heat was making against the wood. Crossing my arms over my chest I shivered just one last time be fore I closed me eyes. Curling my legs to my body I laid in a loose ball at the base of the grand old tree and shivering fell asleep.
I'm not sure what had woken me up first exactly, one second I was entwined in the thankful blanket of sleep given oblivion the next I was wide awake as though a shot had been fired. Wait, that's because a shot had been fired. What the hell?! I sprang to my feet great full for the height of the tree's branches other wise I would have banged my head soundly. I stood totally still not once taking my eyes from my surroundings . I was barely breathing by the time I heard some thing over to my left. I looked over quickly but was totally and completely unprepared for what I saw there. "Hello , little kitty, Want to play?"
AN: Sorry to cut this so short. I wanted to add a lot more to this chap but decided not too. It's almost midnight and my sleep meter lately has sucked. Just so you know I have been trying to update . I've been working on Never Stop every so often and it didn't take me this long to finish this chapter off ( weather that's a good thing or not beats me ) . Any how , like usual, I'll be updating as much as fast as possible. Thank you , and please leave a review. That just might give me some inspiration to right.
