The Dragon Girl
Chapter 16
Spooky: Yes Kasabian I know. But did it ever occur to you that maybe I've had this char long before ff.n was ever up? Hmmm? And since you reviewed the first chapter I'll assume you didn't even read the story. I'm actually very proud of this story, not the character. Actually I hate the first half of this story and when I finish this I intend to rewrite the whole thing. I also think that Veronica was quite flat and a bit stupid in the beginning. Which was not my intention, but I didn't know how to write at the time. Two years does a lot. So I'm afraid I had no choice but to delete your review. On to more important things⦠This chapter is dedicated to KallieKitty. Thanks for reviewing!
Quatre sat alone in his bedroom back at the Preventers apartment. His head in his hands as he tried to think of some way to justify going back and saving Veronica. But no mater how many excuses or situations he thought up, he knew nothing would work. He slammed his fist down on the bed. It was so frustrating! How was he supposed to save her when she didn't want to be saved? Just then there was a soft knock on his door. Quatre sighed. He really didn't want company.
"Come in."
The door opened and Duo peeked his head in cautiously. "Hey," he said.
Quatre made a noise that sounded like a grunt.
"I'll take that as a 'come right in Duo,'" said Duo trying to grin. When Quatre just looked at him the smile slid off his face. "How ya doing?" he asked solemnly.
"How do you think?" growled Quatre.
Duo sat down next to him. "I know it's hard-"
"No you don't know," said Quatre his voice barely audible.
Duo sighed. "You know, it's never going to get better. As long as you're with her there's always gonna be trouble."
"I know," said Quatre pressing his hands against his eyes.
Duo put a comforting hand on his friend's shoulder. Quatre appreciated the gesture, but it didn't make him feel any better.
"You know, if you ever just need a laugh or to go have some fun, I'm always here."
Quatre looked up at Duo trying to smile. "Thank you."
Duo grinned at him. "No prob." He paused. "Now the real reason I came here was to ask if you wanted to go out to dinner with us. I got Heero and Wufei to come."
Quatre thought about that. It sounded nice, but he wasn't sure it would cheer him up. He just wanted to get Veronica back. "Thanks, but I think I'll pass."
Duo shrugged. "Trowa said the same thing." He got up and headed for the door, but paused when he got there. "We'll be at the T Bar and Grill if you decide to come later."
"Thanks."
With that Duo left.
So Trowa was staying too. Quatre wondered if he really didn't want to go or if he was staying because he was worried. Quatre shook his head. Trowa shouldn't be worrying about him. There really wasn't anything anyone could do. At least not yet. He sighed and resigned himself to waiting a week before trying anything. He would get Veronica out of there. Even if he had to trade himself for her. A small smile came to his lips; she would never go for that. That was her flaw; she cared too much about other people and didn't care enough about herself.
He stood up and stretched. He could make plans on how to get her out, even if he couldn't actually do anything for a week. He sat down at his desk and began planning.
Spooky: I know this chapter is kind of short, but the next one will be really long and I didn't want to add this to it too. Please review! I love reviews! Later days!
