Chapter 4
All was quite in the palace of Bathoria. Not even the whisper of the torches could be heard. Abruptly the silence was disrupted by loud screams echoing through the dark halls.
Duo woke startled by the sudden disruption of his dreams. Wondering what exactly was going on he decided to investigate. Getting out of bed he walked out of the room and followed the sound till he came to the corridor of his parents' room. Looking at the images of every mystical creature possibly thought of carved on the oak door of his parents' room he feared the screams he heard which he now realized were his mother's. Cautiously moving towards the door the only thought in his mind was to help his mother. Before his little hands could touch the handle he felt arms wrap around him and pull him away. He couldn't understand why no one was helping his mother. He tried to struggle to get the strong arms to release him but it was no use. Turning his head slightly he was surprised to see it was none other then his father holding him back. Confused over why his father was not in his own bedroom and helping his mother he turned completely still in the grasp his father held around his waist.
"Let me go!! I have to help mother. Can't you hear her screams? She is in pain."
Slowly letting his grip loosen Arlos looked at his son no worry shown on his face. "Don't worry my son. It would be best if you waited here." Rising from his kneeled position Arlos stood and walked into the room with it's never ending screams making sure to shut the door behind him so his son would not enter.
Duo stood outside the room as he was ordered to yet he was anxious to know what was going on. A few moments later the screams finally ended and everything was silent. Doubtfully Duo moved towards the large oak door and gently pried it open. Peeking his head through he saw his mother clinging to his father, shaking as if just woken up from a bad dream. Moving gradually towards the bed he placed his hand over his mother's gaining her attention.
Itara was surprised to see her son standing by the bed holding her hand as if to reassure her that nothing would happen.
"Are you alright mother?" Smiling down at her son she picked him up and cradled him on her lap.
"I am fine but it would be best if you forgot what you have seen and heard." Before Duo could respond Itara placed a hand on his forehead whispering a few words and watching as her son fell back to sleep.
"Do you think that was necessary?" Arlos asked from where he was still seated at his wife's side.
"Yes, it is best if he does know of the past."
Carefully passing Duo into his father's waiting arms she laid back down on the bed watching as Arlos left the room, taking Duo back to his own chamber.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day Duo woke up with a strange feeling, as if he had forgotten something important. Shrugging it off he decided he'd go see his mother and tell her about his day yesterday. Moving down the corridors he walked up to the large doors of his parents' room. Quietly opening the door and peeking in he was a little surprised to see his mother still in bed as usually she would be up and ready by now. Not wanting to wake his mother he turned to leave. Before he walked out the door however, he heard the rustling of sheets and turned again to see his mother sitting up in bed smiling at him.
"Good morning Duo"
"Morning mother!!" Moving to sit on the bed he returned his mother's smile.
"So what brings you here so early son?"
"Err.I just thought you wanted to know about my day. I did not wish to disturb you."
"It's alright I was awake anyway. So please do tell me about this new friend you made."
"Oh he's a very strange boy and his family keep secrets just like we do (1)"
"They do well that's interesting" Itara smiled at her son's enthusiasm in telling her about his friend.
"Yes but I think it has something to do with when he fainted when he shook my hand. He apparently kept seeing blood."
"Hmm.Well what is his name or does he not have one?"
Smirking slightly at his mother's joke he smiled "Heero Yuy"
/Hmm now why does that sound so familiar/ Itara thought knowing she had seen that name somewhere before. "Duo why don't you go and get dressed and go find your friends. I'm sure they are very worried. I've got some work I've got to do okay?"
"Okay bye" After being kissed on the forehead by his mother he got up and left the room to get ready for the days activities.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
One hours after his visit to his mother's room Duo came out of the bathroom his hair loose and dripping water. He moved towards the mirror in his room and began the long job of combing out and braiding his hair. He remembered the reason why he kept growing his hair instead of cutting it. It was due to his mother and her long, thick locks of hair. He enjoyed playing and combing it whenever his mother would give him the chance and decided to grow his hair as long or even long then his mothers.
Once done with combing his hair he moved out of the room headed for the den where he usually met Trowa and Quatre. As soon as he walked in he found his arms filled by a certain blond haired vampire squeezing him tightly.
"Oh Duo I was so worried!! How could you have snuck out like that?"
Laughing at Quatre's reaction he smiled "You know you sound just like my father at time."
Releasing his hold on Duo, Quatre went to sit back down next to Trowa keeping silent as if defy the statement Duo had just made. Smirking Duo moved to sit opposite his two friends smiling after Trowa's simple nod of acknowledgement.
"So what are we doing today?" Duo asked not wanting to sit around and do nothing as that way time would go by a lot slower (2).
"Well we could go out into the gardens to play." Quatre suggested.
"Sure why not."
Even though Duo had agreed both Quatre and Trowa felt that he wasn't all the thrilled about it. /What exactly happened up there/ they both thought in unison but not wanting to pry they just followed Duo as he led the way to the gardens.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The whole week Duo was trapped within the castle walls he spent his time with Quatre and Trowa playing various games as they usually did. It's not that he didn't enjoy it but spending time with his two friends and watching their feelings for each other grow kept reminding him of how alone he truly was. It also reminded him of Heero and he couldn't wait for night to fall because finally he would be able to see his friend again and hopefully figure out the mystery surrounding the boy. He just hoped that Heero would still be at the park because he didn't think it would be a good idea to go to his mysterious house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It had been a week since Heero had seen his friend. He started losing hope of ever seeing him again. /Maybe I scared him of/ Heero thought gloomily. He didn't mean to scare people but he couldn't help it. It wasn't his fault that whenever he touched someone he could see their past and some times their future (3). He didn't ask for this so called 'gift'. It hurt too much at times to bare and he would end up fainting like he did the first night he met Duo. All he wanted was to have a friend and because of some stupid power he was only allowed out at night when most people where in bed (4) and now he probably scared of the only possible friend he had a chance of making. Unsure of why, Heero once again went to the park near his house. For the past seven days every night Heero could be found on the same spot waiting for Duo until the last possible moment before he had to make his way home. On the first few days he looked forward to the arrival of night and the hopeful meeting with Duo but after the third day he started running out of possible reasons why his friend hadn't turned up.
Sitting slumped on the swing Heero hung his head positive that Duo wouldn't turn up again. But no matter how much he tried he could never give up hope that he'd see Duo again. Looking down at his watch he noticed it was two hours after sunset. All the other children would be in bed now and nobody would be coming to the park. Therefore Heero was surprised when he heard footsteps moving closer towards him. Looking up he was elated to see Duo standing there smiling at him.
Duo was just as glad to see that Heero had been at the park waiting for him. He couldn't understand why but now Duo didn't seem to feel so alone anymore.
Tbc
Well Duo and his family would have to keep the secret that they're vampires from all mortals so they have their secrets too.
When you doing nothing it always seems like time is dragging by and Duo doesn't want this as he wants to see Heero again as soon as possible.
You finally learn what Heero's secret is hehe. He has the power of insight. He can see past, present and future. The vision he saw when he touched Duo was of Duo's past but also glimpses of the future.
Heero can't be around people because if he gets touched or touches someone he'd go into a vision and it would end up hurting him because at the moment he can't control his power. But soon enough he'll learn how to.
