Chapter 11 – saved by an angel

At the last moment Kira clung on to a length or rope that was flung at him. The group outside had heard the commotion going on inside and had managed to find a very long rope. Just as Kira was about to fall Alyssa had flung it in through the window.

"That was close. Too close." Athrun commented.

Slowly they lowered Kira to the ground as cagalli rushed in flinging herself at him.

"You almost go killed you idiot."

"Almost."

"I doubt he would have died. Just seriously injured." Yzak said.

"It's the same thing." cagalli retorted, eyes flashing.

"Well at least we've found Lacus."

"Not quite true. Her head is missing."

"It should be around here somewhere."

"We'll split up to look for it. Everyone be careful."

As everyone left in different directions, Kira came up to Alyssa and thanked her.

"No problem. You are rather heavy, and thank goodness the others were there. Besides, cagalli was completely freaking out."

"Anyways. Much credit goes to you. Thanks again." Kira smiled.

They met back half an hour later. Their search had turned up nothing.

"It has to be somewhere."

"The question is where?"

"Up there."

"Are you crazy? Alyssa come back here…its dangerous." Yzak shouted as Alyssa ran up the already crumbling flight of steps. She had seen something pink sticking out of the light at the top of the tower.

The rest of the group watched in amazement as she ran light footedly up and up until she reached the stop. Gently she tiptoed to the light and stuck her hand in it, pulling out Lacus's head. Kira gasped in horror at the way the face had been disfigured beyond recognition. But there was no mistaking the long pink hair.

Alyssa made her way down slowly, trying not to put too much weight on the boards. Leaping lightly from the flight of stairs she reverently passed the head to Kira.

Kira cringed as he took it. Blinking away the tears that were welling up in his eyes, he walked back to the house.

Cagalli looked worriedly at her brother and turned back to look questioningly at Athrun.

Athrun nodded in understanding and cagalli ran after her brother's retreating figure. The rest of the group looked at each other, some of them decided to go back to the house and work on the second clue. Alyssa, Yzak and Athrun decided to stay back and check the body for clues.

They managed to move the body down to the ground without any more mishaps.

Under their intense scrutiny, they found that Lacus had at first been stabbed to death before her head had been chopped off. They also found a strand of blonde hair that had gotten caught on one of her buttons.

The narrowed down their suspects tremendously. It must be Fllaga or Klueze. But how to tell which one? They would just have to wait to find out. Maybe one of them would make a mistake, and show their true colours. Athrun and Cagalli would shadow Fllaga, while Yzak and Alyssa would take on Klueze. Hopefully the mystery could be solved in this way.

Back at the house, Sai had managed to figure out what the clue meant. Snow white's resting place when she had been dead was a glass coffin. The greenhouse might be what they were looking for.

There in the middle of the bed of roses, lay Miriallia. She was asleep, peacefully ignorant to the world around her.

Dearka picked her up, bringing her back to the house.

There was something amiss though. By dinnertime she still had not awoken, and Dearka was getting rather worried. They wanted to call for a doctor, but their phones were dead and they had no form of transport to the near by town.

They took turns watching over her, and trying to wake her up, but none of it had any effect on this sleeping beauty. Maybe a kiss from her true love would be her only hope.

Just then Alyssa remembered something.

"Remember that in Snow white, she choked on an apple and fell into a deep sleep. The poison isn't enough to kill her, just make her sleep, but if you think about it there's obviously no such poison and if she had been giving sleeping pills she should be awake by now. So the only reason she's like this is if her acupoints are blocked."

"What do you mean by that?" Fllay asked. She had never heard of such a thing before.

"It's something the Chinese use. They are these points in your body that control they way your 'qi' moves. I learnt about it before and I think I can do something about it."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"I have to be careful. If I don't do this properly, she can die. Let me try to recall everything I've learnt before I do anything. Anyway, being in this state won't kill you. It's pretty harmless."

"Sorry. I won't rush you. In fact we'll all leave you alone to think. Come on, everybody out." Dearka marched everyone out of the room.

Alyssa smiled, amused at Dearka's concern for Miriallia. Now if only she could remember.

She closed her eyes and thought about the lessons she had taken. They were only basics, and she wasn't very good at it, but at this point, anything might help. Actually, one couldn't be in this state for too long. It could harm the body, but she hadn't dared to break the news to Dearka.

"Think Alyssa. Think." she muttered to herself.

Then it occurred to her that the fairytale had some kind of connection with this. The throat and the lips. She knew what to do.

A few minutes later, Miriallia awoke from her deep slumber. Delighted, Alyssa ran out of the room to tell Dearka and the others.

Note: k…no cliffhangers this time. And about the acupoints, I think they do exist, but I'm not too sure, been reading about them in martial arts novels, but most of what I wrote was improvised, it's not to be taken seriously k. just wanted to add some Asian favour into this fic. Well, hope everyone liked it. And pls review. Btw, does everyone here watch seed destiny? I was thinking of clarifying more rumors, but they might be spoilers for those who don't watch. Anyway, review…and much thanks to all those who did!
