Through the Looking Glass.

Pointless slaughter. Nightmares of those I had killed, their pained and scared screams resonating through my mind. Night after night, the same images flashing through my head, right before my eyes. All burning themselves into my heart to such a strong point where even my sanity starts to slip out of my grasp.

So scared.

I exhaled all the carbon dioxide as I realised that I had been aimlessly staring out the window. Just looking to the sky, the eternal blue through which I had flown numerous times. Sandrock, the war.

But suddenly my attention was drawn to movement in the garden.

Wu Fei. Wu Fei who was carrying Duo who was looking so…fragile. What could have happened? An attack? No, not possible.

As I looked through the glass I saw Trowa open the door and engage in a silent conversation with Wu Fei. Then the Chinese man handed Duo over to Trowa and left in a hurry, as if running from the problem at hand.

I hurried down the stairs, worried. In the living room I found Duo in absolute hysteria and a confused looking Trowa. I looked to him for explanation but he just shrugged. The emotions from Duo came in waves of pain and loss. I backed away slightly. I could not identify the source of the feelings and found that it was hard to cope with them as they ate away at my heart.

-What's wrong Duo?-my voice wavered as I spoke as gently as possible.

He looked up, almost surprised by my presence. His eyes seemed to blur as he tried to concentrate but soon he gave up even on that and the tears fell from his eyes. This image of him I would never forget. Duo, the God of Death crumble before me, all that I ever thought of him slowly slip into a state of shock as I watched him brake apart.

-What is it?-I asked.

-I…how? No…too long…sleep…never came…

I could feel his soul slowly deteriorate into the nothingness within his mind. I could feel him collapsing on the inside, too tired for anything else. I looked at Trowa who slowly nodded as he understood my message to him.

-Duo? Trowa will take you to one of our guest bedrooms and you can rest there, alright?

He just kept staring into my eyes.

-G-go.-I managed to say as the emotions threatened to overpower me.

Later, when Trowa came downstairs and sat by my side I asked him the obvious question.

-Did Wu Fei tell you about what happened to him?

Trowa shook his head.

-He just asked me to look after Duo for a while, he said he had some things to sort out.

Then suddenly his expression softened and turned to concern as he took my hand.

-The nightmares, have they stopped?

-Well, I do-

-Where is Maxwell?

Wu Fei had run into the room…how did he get past the door? He was flushed and panting from, probably running.

-Upstairs.

His eyes widened.

-You left him alone!

Through the looking Glass.

I look outside my window

Where emptiness resides

Where phantoms listen to the winds

Where all my fury hides

I may seem like an angel

Always helping everyone

But don't you know what I am

Once I hold a gun?

My sanity is loose within

As I look into the land of living

Through the looking glass

Because I'm not forgiven

And every night I dream

Of every single face

Cut with all the shattered glass

Within my cold embrace

And now I look outside again

For I always must

Through the shattered looking glass

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

TBC

Little bit of Quatre there…kinda boring cuz I was delusional when I wrote this…getting better?
