Chapter 10 pt 4
Quatra had his own personal bodyguard, Luna. It was rare for A.D. to actually like someone, not just tolerate. And they all knew, something happened to Blondie, they all would be lucky to see the next day. A.D. put up this front of uncaring, and coldness, but Rio and Butch saw past that. She actually cared for him, which was not only really odd, but a rarity. Not only that, they didn't feel like being put in body casts and still forced to do molbil detail. Rio and Butch shivered at that thought. Luna was easy to get along for the most part, Eclipse was a whole other can of worms. "You shouldn't be worried. You mustn't. Boss will take care of your friends and lover." She looked at him, "Boss is highly loyal to people who don't turn on her or give her reason to think they will turn on her. She'll protect them. We call her the wrecking ball for a reason. She lays to waste anything that gets in her way or happens to be the enemy." She smiled at him, "You have nothing to fear. Boss will get Relena and peace will still be standing."
"Luna?"
"Yes?"
"I have a question."
"About?"
"A.D.."
"I don't know much about her. Other than it will be a cold day in hell when the RM and BF gain control. She also rarely sleeps."
"Why?"
"She relives the day she lost everything. We all can feel it."
"What's her relationship to Rio and Butch?" Luna shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe because she feels safe with them. They've always been there for her, even when she's at her worst. Their willing to use themselves as sheilds if that is what is required of them. They wouldn't turn on her, except that one time. Boss would have apoligized. But she's not used to doing it. It's her way or the highway."
"Luna?"
"Hmmm?"
"What about you."
"What about me?"
"Why were you transformed?"
"A peace offering. They could have this useless half breed if they would leave them alone. My people didn't care for me. I'm just like Boss almost. My father was a pureblood, my mother wasn't. See the picture I'm painting? Boss saw what I could do and offered me a home. And I've been here ever since."
"What about Eclipse?"
"A whole different can of worms. No one knows where she came from or why she was transformed. Boss obviously knows, but she wouldn't tell anyone. She would never give away our secrets, unless we turned on her. I can tell you this though. She must have been a sacrifice or been willing for the greater good. Because if she'd done it for a selfish reason, she wouldn't be here."
"I' just have a bad feeling."
A.D. punched a creature and it squeeled, 'What the fuck is that? A wild pig? Since when are they covered in armor and have razors for teeth? Don't tell me they've been experimenting with animals again.' Then said pig thing than ran for cover, 'Nope. Can't be, must be the puddle of goo that I have yet to understand.' She kept low and kept going along the fence. 'No guards are in the towers. The fencing had gone to hell, and so had the towers, they no longer stood where they once had been. There was no sign that they had once even stood. The towers when activated would turn her into a mindless beast. Oh shit.' For miles and miles, once there was fencing, now there wasn't. She could deal with the towers down, but not the fencing. A.D. suddenly felt one thing she rarely ever felt. Fear. If that pig thing was the result of the goo, she didn't want to know what else got turned. She spun on her heels and ran back.
"Damn that onna. We've been sitting here for over six hours."
"Fei Fei and you say I complain."
"Got a sudden death wish Maxwell?"
"Oh come on Wu Wu lighten up!" Wufei glared. Duo just smiled a pleasent one. Than they heard a noise. Trowa glanced out the window, "We've got company. And it doesn't look friendly either." Than the thing screamed, it sounded like death. Than they saw something leap onto the creatures back, "Shoot it damn it! Shoot it!"
"Death?"
"No it's the god damn tooth fairy! Of course it's me you twit!"
"Onna how are we to shoot that thing without tagging you?"
"I'm not the one with the guns! Do something!" A.D. transformed into an over sized ox, that looked to be crossed with a wolf. She placed herself between the cabin and the beast. 'What the fuck is that thing?" The thing pawed the ground, ready to charge. A.D. was prepared to stand her ground. Than their heads met. She kept her horns locked with the creatures, "Shoot it damn it!" Her sensitive hearing heard the pop and the creature fell. She unlocked her horns and went back to her human form. Duo pointed at the thing, "What was that?" A.D. gave him a scathing looking, "How am I supposed to know. All I know is what ever it once was. It must have been an animal."
"And you would know, how?"
"It's difficult to explain to someone who isn't a freak like me. But it's like this. The life forces are different."
"Life, what?"
"Like I said hard to explain. It's almost like a soul, I guess." She looked at Yuy, "I was going to take you to the boarder when it got dark, which it has. But if there are more of those things lumbering about, we're screwed. Not if their the pig things I wouldn't mind."
"Pig things?"
"It squeeled like a pig, must have been a pig." She shrugged, "We'll have to wait for day break before I take you twits to the boarder."
"And she actually cares!"
"Can it Maxwell. I don't want to listen to psyco bitch or Ellens screaming at me at the top of their lungs because I brought you back in a billion peices. Even I know when to push and not to push. Try and get some sleep, I'll stand watch." Duo was going to make a smart comment, but decided against it. After all said and proven psyco could just march them off.
When dawn came she gave the orders to move out. They came to the fencing. She decided to fill them in, "Looks like they abandoned this side of Russia. but that doesn't mean that those bastereds aren't laying in wait. I wouldn't put it passed them. Follow me, and for the love of god stay with me and behind me. Don't go wondering off." She looked at Maxwell, "Why are you looking at me?" She didn't reply but was walking up the hill. A.D. came to a path that looked like it hadn't been touched in years. Than her eyes caught something. She haulted and gave the hault signal, "Back up."
"Onna-"
"I said back the fuck up. It's a damn trip wire, and unless you want to become the guinea pig I suggest you back up." They did was the were told. She withdrew a knife and sliced through it. Than the various traps were set off. Bear traps, and finally something that A.D. had once called the 'Venus Flytrap from Hell', shot up and snapped shut. Had thousands of spikes and needles. She gestured to it, "See what happens if you even think about not listening to me?" She sighed, "This makes no sense. I'm almost postive that these weren't set by me or former members of the UNRR."
"Onna, what are you talking about?"
"That thing that shot up and snapped closed, it's called the Venus Flytrap from Hell. It wouldn't function after more than two years. Meaning whoever set up that bitch, either figured out the materials to make it function after years. Or my guess is, someone is on to us."
"Than why is the trail over grown?"
"Maybe they used the goo for all I know! It transformed the pig thing I ran into, and I'm guessing that thing we killed last night was or used to be a bear. I don't read minds people so stop asking questions I have no answers for! Geez, what the fuck do I look like a damn mind reader?"
