Chapter 14

He was back home… a fire crackled merrily in the fireplace. His mother, was busy in the kitchen fixing dinner…his father was in the den talking to his sister, Josephine, and her husband Mathew…their child Alex, was playing on the floor.

"Wufei…come help me with this!" A feminine voice called out; Wufei turned, a young woman stood behind him struggling with several over sized boxes of ornaments in her hands. Meilan's dark shoulder length hair was pulled back into two small pony tails, and she was dressed in jeans and a dark burgundy blouse; she made a striking figure…even if she was momentarily off balance. Wufei grinned at his new wife. It was traditional for the Long clan to wed at the age of seventeen.

"So now you need my help, onna?" He asked, grinning. Meilan glared at her husband;

"Get over here Wufei, don't make me hurt you." Wufei laughed, taking a couple of the boxes from her. They placed them by the tree and began to unpack the decorations. It took nearly two hours for them to finish the tree; probably because they kept on having to stop because they got into tinsel wars, but no one minded. Seeing the normally serious teens laughing and playing like children was a rare moment that the family refused to interrupt.

"Dinner!" Wufei's mother called, everyone headed for the kitchen. Wufei's mouth watered at the sight of the feast his mother had created; roasted ham, ambrosia, baked potatoes, greens, several different pies…

"Wufei, love, you're drooling..." Meilan said, smirking at her husband's loss of dignity. Wufei sent a mock glare towards his wife, who wasn't phased in the slightest.

Dinner was filled with lively conversations and laughter. Meilan laughed as Wufei's mother scolded him for reaching across Meilan's plate….then switched to scolding Meilan when she stabbed Wufei with her folk when he did.

After dinner, Meilan put her nephew into bed while everyone else gathered in the den for drinks and talk. Wufei sighed, leaning back into the couch cushions listening to his father and uncle argue about something dealing with history.

Suddenly, a loud CRASH came from the living room. Everyone leapt to their feet; what the hell was going on? Wufei's uncle was the first to reach the room; in mid-step the large man froze for a moment then tumbled to the ground to lay unmoving. Wufei stared, somehow knowing that he would never again speak with his beloved uncle. A man dressed in black with a ski mask over his face pointed a machine gun at the family, and opened fire. In that instant, instincts took over; Wufei flung himself to the side. Pain exploded in his chest and back. He hit the floor hard; his breathing ragged... His vision waved, teetering on the brink of unconsciousness.

"There's a couple upstairs…"

"I'll get them…you torch it…"

Wufei vaguely heard the sloshing of liquid; then the overwhelming scent of gasoline…

"Wufei....Wufei……Wufei wake up…"

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­


Violet eyes met Wufei's onyxas he opened his eyes. Wufei jerked, startled to have someone so close to his face.

"Maxwell…" He growled, "Don't do that!" Duo laughed;

"Did my performance bore you 'Fei?" Duo asked giving Wufei hurt puppy eyes, Wufei blinked confused. Suddenly he realized he was still sitting in one of the chairs on the balcony.

"No…I...er…I mean…I…uh…" Wufei stumbled, scared that he had actually hurt Duo's feelings. Behind him, some one laughed;

"Duo, leave him be…Wufei is obviously tired. And he should be! It's three o'clock in the morning! Take the poor child to his room and let him sleep!" Pheles's voice stated; Duo stuck his tongue out at his sister.

"Come on 'Fei;" He said, grinning; "It is kinda late."

Sleepily Wufei got to his feet and followed Duo back through the halls; barely noticing when Duo laid him on the bed and tucked him in.

Duo watched Wufei for several moments after the Chinese youth was tucked into bed and had returned to sleep. There had been pain and fear in Wufei's eyes when he woke…yet if Duo had not been looking at Wufei's eyes, he would not have noticed. This fear that Wufei had, didn't seem to be of him personally, it seemed deeper…older. Like the pain had been entrenched into his very soul, always there, never healing. What could have caused such pain in the normally calm boy? What could have happened that such a pain could have become so engrained into his soul that when he dreamt of it he didn't startle awake, like normal people did from nightmares?

Wufei's brows furrowed slightly in a frown, then his face relaxed again; yet Duo caught the scent of fear….fear and sorrow with an over tone of anger. What was Wufei dreaming?


Again the scene played out…dinner, the laughter, the warmth of being with family and knowing he was loved…then the sound of glass shattering reverberated through his mind. He saw again, the masked men pull there weapons and let loose a stream of bullets at his family. Again, he felt the pain as he dodged too slowly.

"I'll get them…you torch it…"

The over powering smell of gas pushed itself through his pain filled brain. He struggled to his feet, ignoring the pain in his chest and leg. His family lay on the floor, unmoving….blood pooling around them. No…they couldn't…

A moan caught his attention…his father was pushing himself up to lean on the now blood splattered couch.

Wufei rushed to him, "Dad!" he said in a hoarse whisper; the older man was bleeding severely…

Suddenly a scream pierced through the stillness left in the room. Wufei's head snapped around…

'Meilan…'

"Dad, call 911…" Wufei said, quickly handing his father the phone; then as quickly as his battered and broken body allowed, he headed to the stairs making sure to grab the Emergency Shotgun from its rack next to the stairs. All pain was forgotten in his need to get to his beloved wife…fear surged through his veins forcing him up the stairs when will alone would have failed him.

Somehow he knew where they were…he knew without checking the other rooms, he knew as surely as he knew his own name,EXACTLY where they were. His fear intensified as he realized that despite Meilan's screaming…Alex was silent.

Dear gods no…

Alex's room loomed in front of him; he crept silently to the door and peered in. Wufei's breath caught in his throat. Meilan lay on the floor, her burgundy shirt was ripped open, he could clearly see blood on her chest…the masked man loamed over her. He glanced around the room…he spotted Alex's small form, unmoving on the floor…something dark pooling around his tiny frame. Wufei closed his eyes briefly as his heart shattered just a bit more…in it's place something new bloomed. Rage so dark that it blinded any who succumbed to its darkdesires clouded Wufei's vision. Without thinking he raced into the room, his feet silent on the floor despite his injuries. Wufei slammed his foot into the masked mans face, knocking him off Meilan. The man rolled, coming up in a crouch ready to spring in any direction. But Wufei was there first...onyx eyes filled with an inhuman rage…the barrel of the shotgun inches from the man's face. Wufei watched as if from a distance as the man's eyes widened and a cruel smile formed on Wufei's lips. A single shotgun blast echoed throughout the house.

Wufei dropped the still smoking gun and knelt by the bleeding form of his wife, ripping off his shirt as he knelt.

"Meilan…" he whispered, trying to stop the flow of blood from her wound with his shirt. Meilan's eyelashes fluttered, revealing her pain filled chocolate brown eyes.

"Wu..fei?" she said in a barely audible whisper… Her breathing was bubbly and labored…Wufei knew then, that she would not make it. Wufei nodded, his vision suddenly blurring.

"Alex?" she whispered, trying to look around. Wufei smiled, "He's fine…Mom has him…don't worry love…you saved him." He lied, wanting Meilan to die thinking she saved her nephew.

"He's safe?" She said, he could tell she was struggling to stay wake.

"Yes...you saved him…"

"Fei…"her voice was so faint now…"I'm…sorry…"

"No…don't be…you've got nothing to be sorry for love…"he quickly reassured her; Meilan gave him a small smile.

"Love….you…" she whispered, running a single bloody hand across his cheek. Then she gave a single shuddering breath…and went limp in Wufei's arms.

"Meilan?..." Wufei whispered, distantly his mind took note of the smell of smoke. "Meilan!" he said, a bit louder; "Wake up…don't leave…Meilan…MEILAN!" he shouted, tears streaming down his cheeks. Wufei pulled his wife's body into a tight embrace, his light frame wracked with sobs as his heart shattered completely and around him flames flickered as they slowly consumed the house.
