AC 201 Heero and Wufei are preventors called in for an accident on a sweeper ship captained by Duo. However it was no accident there's a killer on board and it isn't human. If you like suspense and gore you'll like this horror story. (At least I'm hoping to create suspense I believed I managed it.)

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters, I only get my jollies off on torturing them and my readers with horrible gory stories like the one below. Bandia and a bunch of other rich and talented folk own these characters. Please don't' sue me.

Warnings: Rated R just to be on the safe side. Contains yaoi, gore and minor amounts of smut.

Secondary warning: Personally, I don't think that my stories are scary. However, I have received feedback from a small amount of reviewers claiming that they were. "Don't change your style of writing, it's yours. There are people out there who will appreciate it." I thank that person. I decided to take their words to heart and I have not toned down or changed how I write. However, I am giving fair warning.

Chapter 37

Run Away

Heero had almost forgotten where he was for a moment—so focused on examining the feelings of dismay he was feeling. As the group had been searching along the road that feeling of unease he had been getting was getting stronger and stronger. It was making it hard to concentrate.

"Do you think we'll find them?"

"No."

It came out sharper than he intended. As usually, Duo had managed to sneak past his defenses and the temporary lose of control put him on edge. On a battlefield he knew to trust his instincts, this situation eluded him.

"I don't think so either," Duo whispered somberly.

It was a very un-Duo like answer and Heero had to refrain from glancing at the man. His comment just reminded Heero how intuitive Duo was about the whole thing.

"But a thing that size couldn't have gotten in." Duo continued just as quietly. "So now what are we dealing with?"

Heero saw the other pilots stiffen and glance at Duo fearfully. The glow from the cars' headlights showed their tragic faces starkly.

"Let's not worry about that now," Heero told them. "We just have to be alert."

"They're moving her," Quatre said just as quietly. "We're going to be moving even slower now. I hope Sally's ok."

Wufei stared off into the distance darkness. Heero realized how very anxious he was, so he wasn't the only one feeling the sense of urgency. The members from the plant were placing Mabel in the back of Nile's truck. The woman was in bad shape. Just moving her was dangerous, however Heero was sure that wasn't the reason why she had been left in the road. Her other team members would never have left her there.

Now, they would proceed the rest of the way on foot checking the sides of the road for other survivors. The two Hummers would follow behind slowly. The men didn't want to separate. Heero didn't blame them but it was a slow and nerve wreaking pace

"I hope he can hold out," Quatre said.

Heero knew already who he was talking about before he glanced at his partner. Wufei could barely stay still and he was far ahead of the group walking down the road towards the house. Only his pride kept him from sprinting off and leaving them all behind.

Heero moved closer to the front of the procession but Wufei was already a good distance away. His main focus was the house ahead so he didn't notice Heero. Now, it was a dim darker smear they could just make out. As they got closer to the house Heero saw that it was no longer square in shape. Suddenly Wufei sprinted off, Heero increased his pace and realized what had caused his partner to race ahead.

Like the com and the car there were pieces missing from it. That was why the house's silhouette no longer looked square. The other odd thing was there was no debris around the house either. Being a war veteran made such visions common. It was unnerving seeing the wreck house without the debris.

Heero was just about to follow Wufei when a shot rang out. It was quickly followed by another shot that took out one of Nile's headlights. Heero ducked low and glanced behind him. The others were crouched low too. He could see Quatre and Duo quickly moving out of the headlights into the safety of the darkness around the vehicles.

"Stay away!"

It was a woman's voice. Mrs. Tope to be exact. The group was so overjoyed to hear her they started to rush forward. That was when the third and fourth shot was fired. It didn't stop them but they did slow down. Nile ducked low in the truck's front seat and kept driving forward.

"Stay away!" She screamed.

"What's going on?" Someone yelled from behind.

"Why is she shooting," yelled another person.

"Stop shooting!" Nile yelled. "Mabel's hurt."

"Honey, don't shoot it is us," Mr. Tope yelled to his wife.

"Stay away, leave us alone," she screamed.

Again, there were shots fired. Heero heard a metallic pinging sound from the front of the truck. Recklessly junior and senior Tope ran through the darkness towards the house. Heero ducked low and slowly crept forward. He could feel the presence of the others around him. If she had been aiming for them, they didn't stand a chance but the woman seemed to be trying to kill the truck.

"Mom, it's us," young Corbin yelled. "Stop shooting."

"Corbin don't come here," she yelled back. "It's here."

"Mom, you have to stop shooting," he yelled back.

"Don't come here run away," she said. "Run away!"

Finally, she had stopped shooting. Heero could hear her trying to reload the gun in the dark. She had ran out of ammunition. Heero and the others raced towards the house. The truck and hummers were close enough that they could see the house clearly.

The amount of the house that was missing was daunting. It was far more than the parts at the plant. How? Why? He really didn't want to know.

Mrs. Tope was on the first floor in front what was left of the kitchen. The wall that once was the kitchen's outer wall, and outer wall to the office and infirmary were gone. There was a puddle of water still gushing out from where the sink was. The pipes were running and in the dark, it looked like the house was bleeding away from an open wound.

"Don't come here run away," she was repeating. "Run away."

"What happened?" Mr. Tope said. "What caused this?"

Mr. Tope actually shook his wife. Heero slipped into the darkness of the house looking for Wufei and the others. The windows that opened into the dorms were like broken black holes from outside. He was almost sure that Duo's men were not there. He saw Quatre's light head of hair moving along the infirmary looking for his last remaining guard. That too seemed hopeless. Heero could easily see that room was empty.

Heero let his eyes get accustom to the darkness. Where was Wufei? He kept his ears pealed to Mrs. Tope. She had yet to answer her husband. She was still hysterical and she seemed to be the only one left in the house.

"Someone turn off the water," Nile old voice rang out. "And get some lights."

Heero could hear movement now in the house. They were heading downstairs. Their movements rang empty letting him know that no one was hiding there.

"What caused this?"

Heero paused. Nile's old scratchy voice seemed to finally reach her. For a moment Heero could hear her trying to compose herself. Suddenly the whole house was quiet. It was like everything was listening to her—waiting for her answer.

At first, he didn't hear what the answer was. He only heard a low murmur in the darkness, where he was. Then he heard her. It was a shaky whisper yet he heard her clearly.

"I don't know," she choked out. "It was a monster."
