Queen of Darkness

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. I am only using them in a short work of fiction. I am doing this for fun not for profit, so don't sue me. As I have nothing but a small kennel that I use as my house. It's not much but I like it and you can't have it.

Chapter 4

"I can't believe that guy." Wufei ranted. "He makes us come to such an immoral place and then he runs off with the first woman that comes along."

"Calm down, Wufei." Quatre soothed. "It's not like that. He just found someone that caught his attention. Who knows they might end up going out."

"That would be so like Maxwell. To go out with some female that he met in a bar!" Wufei exclaimed. "Trust him to do something that undignified."

"Chang, you can meet a nice girl here just as well as you can anywhere else." Heero snapped.

"Besides, it's not a bar it's a club." Quatre corrected him.

"What the hell is the difference?!" Wufei said exasperated.

"A bar is a lot more tamer than a club but a club can be a lot more fun." Quatre said.

"This coming from Mr. Innocent. Or at least who we thought was Mr. Innocent." Wufei leered. "Is there nothing in this world that is sacred any more?"

"Wufei, stop ranting or I'll knock you out." Trowa told him Wufei, he was getting just a little bit tired of Wufei's bitching and complaining.

This out burst was enough to make Wufei shut up. It was rare that Trowa spoke. And even rarer that he threatened anyone. But when he did threaten you, you should watch out. Trowa doesn't make ideal threats.

"Thank you." Trowa said.

"Tensions are high, maybe we should find Duo and get out of here." Quatre suggested. "Though I don't think that he will be to happy to leave the girl that he met."

"That shouldn't matter too much. It is about time that we get to work any way." Heero said.

"Ahhhhh, come on Heero. Duo only left ten minutes ago. Let him have a little time to himself." Quatre said.

"Why should we wait for him while everyone else here is miserable?" Wufei raved.

The next thing that any of them knew, Trowa was standing over a now unconscious Wufei. Heero and Quatre just looked at him not believing that Trowa had actually knocked Wufei out.

"I warned him that I was going to do it." Trowa said simply.

"Yeah, but I never thought that you were going to do it." Quatre said in disbelief.

Trowa didn't reply. He merely took a sip of his drink and sat back in his chair. Quatre shook his head. Heero just shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess that Duo gets to talk to that girl until Wufei comes around." Heero said simply.

"That should make him happy." Quatre commented. "But Wufei isn't going to be happy when he wakes up."

"Oh well, he had it coming. He has been getting on my nerves all night." replied Trowa.

Quatre shook his head, again. Sometimes he just didn't get his friends. And at other times he under stood them all to well. This was one of the times that he didn't get them.

Elsewhere

"Are we just going to sit around here for the rest of the night?" Cathy asked.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sally wondered.

"I mean, are we just going to sit here and talk, go get a bite to eat, or are we going to do a little dancing?" Cathy explained. (AN there was no pun intended with that whole 'bite' thing. Just so you know.)

"Hilde just left, so we can't go get a bite to eat. And if you interrupt her so soon, she'll more than likely suck you dry." Relena told her.

"We could just sit here talk and listen to the music." Sally added.

"You guys can talk and listed to the music." Dorothy declared. "But I am going to go find that cute blonde that came in with the guy Hilde is with."

"What are the rest of us supposed to do?" Cathy asked sounding hurt.

"That isn't my problem, now is it?" Dorothy asked tartly as she stood up.

"Well don't you care about what we do?" Cathy pouted.

"Frankly, no I don't." was Dorothy's blunt reply.

"Oh your real nice!" Cathy said. It had started out as a pout but she ended up laughing.

"I'm not supposed to be nice." Dorothy commented as she spun on her heal and walked away.

"She's right, you know." Sally said.

"She can be nice to us. That wouldn't hurt her any ways." Cathy protested.

"She can be nice sometimes, as you know, but if people see that she is nice all the time, it would really ruin her image. And that cold image is really all that protects her from being hurt too badly," Relena stated.

"You know what the worst thing about being the youngest is? Not knowing what has gone on or its significance in the grand scheme of things." Cathy said.

"We all know how that feels." Relena said, laying a sympathetic hand on her shoulder.

"That's a bit hard to believe about you Relena. Seeing how you're the oldest." was the sarcastic reply from Cathy.

"I may be the oldest in out group, but I don have an older brother. After we left our home, we joined up with another group of vampires that my brother had met. I was the youngest there, too. And in that age, women were not that free to do much." Relena told her. "Everyone who comes into this world wonders about the past, be them vampire or not. It is the nature of all people."

"I see your point." Cathy said. "But I still want to know what happened to her."

"Don't worry," Sally said placing a compassionate hand on Cathy'' shoulder. "She'll tell you when she's ready."

"Can't you tell me?" Cathy asked.

Sally looked at Relena, as if to say your turn. Relena caught the look and the meaning.

"We can't tell you. We took an oath 85 years ago. We promised Dorothy that only she could deem a time when that incident would be brought up and discussed." Relena told Cathy.

"I understand."
