Chapter Four
2 weeks passed as Heero mastered his abilities and even though he wouldn't admit it aloud, he was smitten with Serenity.
He was taught how to hunt monthly for fresh blood to keep him healthy and strong. He had forgotten about what she had said, as he walked into the wardrobe, he walked into a mess of packing boxes and suitcases. "Milady requested us to pack your stuff; she was mighty depressed when she told us to burn her belongings." They said answering his silent question.
Two weeks, he had forgotten all about that, groaning he ran out of the wardrobe and quickly into the hall looking for Serenity desperately. Spotting her coming out of the business room, this had been renovated to a modern style with several computers surrounding the room, placed on top of the dark crimson walls. Several steel lamps gave off a bright florescent light which helped lighten the mood of the room.
Quickly catching up to her, he grabbed her shoulder as she jumped and turned around gasping before smiling sadly.
"Hello" She whispered as she looked at him still clad in baggy long pants without a shirt and bare feet peeking out of the bottom of his pants. "What are you doing out here without a shirt on-what's wrong?" She asked looking at his expression.
"You-leaving me. Why?" He exclaimed grabbing her other wrist, looking quite like a pair of dancers with the position he was in. "Why are you leaving me?" He said bending down so that he was eye level with her.
"I have to! You will die if I don't…and I couldn't handle that" She said twisting her head away from his "Not to mention-it's my destiny. And it won't be the last time you see me, but the last of this century" She said giving into his embrace.
"Why? I don't care what happens-I want to see you everyday-this century" He said becoming irrational.
"You think I want to leave, to die without my memories?" She questioned him bitterly before gasping and covering her mouth while Heero looked at her in shock just as the window in their bedroom crashed open as Serenity pushed him away but also pushed something small into his hand.
Staring, he decided to hide behind the wall right next to the stairs, watching Serenity as she stood there unblinking before she was assaulted and there was silence as the creature bounded away the same way it had come.
Running out from behind the wall, he saw the damage and trying to control himself he kneeled over and picked up Serenity's body and quietly slipped into their bedroom, with nearly the whole manor watching the back of his head.
Laying her down gently, he took the unmade bedcover and placed it over her head, bowing his head in remorse as he tried to hide the tears streaming down his face, and finally acknowledged the object in his hand.
A small ring, but beautiful. A silver cast rose laid on top of a moon covered in rubies and diamonds which sparkled like stars.
Slipping it on, he turned around and found himself facing the whole manor looking at him in pity. He was handed his backpack, and a briefcase holding his laptop as well as 2 mysterious keys were placed in his hand and 2 suitcases. One last thing was handed him as he stared down at the DS1-Falcon handgun by Mi'chelle before all of them seemed to disparate in front of him as the lights flickered and completely turned off leaving to the darkness of the house.
Taking his suitcases and laptop, he trailed out of the room seemingly to have memorized the layout of the manor.
Stepping out of the manor, he turned one last time before bowing his head and walking away from the house.
