Chapter Two: Pets of the Wild

"I want to know why my son has brought a creature such as this demon into the castle walls." The king said sitting back into his thrown. "This is a wild creature, he is not tame, he is not educated in our ways." He added. Heero sighed and looked at his father with a steady stare. It was silent for a few good minutes before Heero finally answered his father.

"I brought him here because he was injured. He was dieing out there." Heero said with anger in his voice. He crossed his arms and glared at his father, hoping that would end this conversation so he can return and help care for said creature.

"Heero, death is only natural. He is a wild animal, he should die in the wild with his people." The king said. "You should not have interfered." Completely ignoring his sons glare, as what son could intimidate their father.

"People have tigers, and lions. They are wild, yet we keep them as pets." Heero said.

"Are you saying you want him as a pet?" The king asked. Heero sighed and thought about the question. If the creature had been found in that condition, it was probably a good guess that the creature wasn't wanted, or was being hunted by others. There would be no point for Heero to have saved its life only to have it let loose and be killed.

"Yes." Heero said with a bow. The kings eyes narrowed slightly.

"Do you understand the responsibility of having a pet such as this?" The king asked.

"You speak of him as if he has not a single feeling in his blood. Father this is a living creature and deserves as much of a chance at life as you or even me." Heero said, his glare intensified and his father visibly flinched.

"Then so be it, but I am warning you Heero, this creature is your responsibility. I want no trouble from him." He said firmly.

"There will be no trouble." Heero said with another bow and left his father without another word. A small smile pulled on the kings lips as Heero's decision to keep the creature, once a young boy who barely wanted to take care of his horse, now a young man who will soon care for an entire kingdom.

Just outside the thrown room doors Sally and Wufei waited for him, looking worried and rushed. "What's wrong?" He asked, his voice was steady and calm.

"We got the creature to your room, when we were placing him on the bed in the maids quarters he woke up, we managed to lock him in your room, but he's scared and he's panicking." Wufei explained.

"So…you locked a wild, scared, injured, creature in my room?" Heero asked calmly. Wufei and Sally nodded wincing slightly as they realized their mistake. "Idiots." He said under his breath and turned for his room, mumbling something about swords masters and women healers.

The walk to said room was short as Heero walked quickly. Though made sure he didn't run for he didn't want to alert anyone that there was some kind of trouble. As he approached his room he could hear mumbled voices and objects getting tossed around. As he reached the door he could hear yelling and Quatre's voice trying to calm the creature down.

"Please, you are safe here." He said frantically.

"Jhaer ti kai...riri...lai tysi val...lai tysi...ai ber shal sai kai cysti." He could hear threw the door.

"Wait…don't throw that…it is very expen-" Wufei decided that it would be a good idea to open the door then and had to duck immediately as a vase flew from the room and was caught effortlessly by Heero. Heero shoved the piece into Sally's hands and walked calmly into the room.

Quatre looked at Heero worriedly and pointed towards the creature. Heero turned and his heart froze for a few moment. A very thin, very dirty, and very beat up young man was backed into a corner. His eyes were wide with fear and he was panting hard. Heero noticed that the cloths he had given the creature earlier were ripped in many places as if he had been trying to rip them off. The bandages around his wings were shredded, his wings bleeding and hanging heavily at his back. Heero's eyes met the creatures and he saw the fear, the pain, and the distrust in the violet depths.

Heero took a step closer to the creature, but stopped when the creature started yelling at him, backing up further, trying to press himself through the wall.

"LAI! Mae eirdae...riri, ai cali pyli byrol sai o...ai pyl's shal sai ces eileistysi." The boy said. Heero took a breath and took another step forward.

"Shhh, we are here to help you. You need to rest and heal. You will be safe here." Heero tried, the creature just continued to look at him in a scared manor. Heero turned his head to look at Quatre. "Do you think you can calm him down if you can touch him. He obviously can't tell what we're saying." Heero said. Quatre nodded and moved closer. The creature let out a cry of distressed and tried to run from them but Heero caught him in his arms, trying not to hurt the boy further. He felt sharp teeth dig into his shoulder as the boy tried to fight him, but he just held on tighter. He could tell the creature was trying to use his wings, but they barely moved.

Quatre stepped forward and put a hand on the creatures head. The creature froze in Heero's arms, seeming to look around frantically for something.

"Calm down, you are safe….sleep." The creature seemed to calm a bit, and his body fell limp in Heero's arms as the boy was unconscious again.

Since Heero's bed was closer he laid the boy there and closed the bedroom door quietly. He turned and found that only Sally and Quatre were in the room.

"Where did Wufei go?" He asked.

"He said something about the language the boy was speaking and left." Sally said. Heero nodded and looked at the mess in the room.

"I will call for a maid later." Quatre said. Heero nodded again. He looked back at the door which hide the creature from the world.

"What have I gotten myself into?" He asked quietly.

-----

A small child ran, his feet hitting the forest floor heavily, though the noise was drowned out by the sounds of others chasing him. Someone grabbed his hair and he was pulled into a pair of strong arms.

"Look what we have here, little Duo. Where are your parents Duo?" The mocked. The boy started crying and trying harder to get away from them.

--

Again Duo found himself running through the forest, again he was being chased. "He's escaping."

"Not from us he's not, kill him." Duo picked up his speed. He could see a large stoned building coming into view…a castle. He was almost there when suddenly he was thrown to the ground.

Violet eyes opened and darted around nervously. The men who had been in the room, they were gone, but then he was in a smaller room now, too, and there was no way out. The creatures eyes fell on the window and he pulled himself out of bed.

Carefully he made his way to the window. He didn't want to make a sound, and his wings really hurt. Once he got to the window he sighed and his shoulders dropped, causing him to wince in pain. With out his wings he couldn't escape this high up.

Hope you all like.
