Discovering Magic Within
"Mista Quatra?" Solo asked, tugging on Quatre's pant leg. The blonde looked down at the little tyke.
"Did you want something Solo?" Quatre asked politely. Solo nodded solemnly.
"Can you tell me a story about the elves?"
Quatre took a deep breath. "Why do you want to know about elves?"
Solo shrugged. "I don't know. I've listened to all of Mia's stories and I want to hear new ones" he replied logically, settling himself in the hay. Quatre sighed and sat beside the younger boy.
"Well, elves are very special magical beings. They can take on any shape or form that they want but their true form is the most amazing thing imaginable. The girls have hair like spun gold and crystal blue eyes. Their voices are so harmonious; it's impossible to describe. But when they sing, a warm feeling washes over you, like the feeling you get when you step into a warm bath or being loved by your family. Anyways, the boys are tough and strong warriors but they have warm and tender hearts. They are courageous and their duty is to protect the clans".
"Don't they have pointy ears?" Solo interrupted. Quatre smiled down at the inquisitive boy.
"Yes they do Solo but they can hide them to protect themselves. Humans don't like elves very much. They say that the elves bring evil and sickness to the family" Quatre finished.
"Humans are mean" Solo added stubbornly.
"No, not all humans. Some of them are nice and caring" Quatre corrected. Solo thought about this for a moment and opened his mouth to ask another question when the barn door squeaked open and Duo popped his head in.
"Am I late?" the braided boy asked nervously. Quatre stifled a laugh when he caught a glance of Duo's nervous appearance.
"I don't think so" Quatre replied gently. Duo breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to where the 2 were sitting and plopped down beside them. The trio sat in silence for a few moments.
"Quatre, how old are you?" Duo asked curiously, breaking the silence.
"I'm 15. How about you?" Quatre answered quietly.
"15" Duo replied cheerfully.
"I'm 5" Solo replied proudly.
"How old is..."but Quatre never got to finish.
"Solo! Duo! Dinnertime!" Mia's voice called out from the house. "And your father wants to talk to you Duo!" Duo's face paled slightly.
"Come on Solo. Let's go" Duo said solemnly, taking Solo's tiny hand and pulling hum up off the hay. Quatre stood up to follow them but Duo held out a hand to stop him. "Please stay here Quatre. I'll bring you some food later" Duo ordered, then left the barn with Solo in tow.
'Stay safe my friends' Quatre thought worriedly.
*~*
Duo slowly opened the back door and stepped inside the dark house. Blinking repeatedly from the drastic change of light, the 2 brothers started to walk down the hall towards the kitchen.
"Hello father" Duo said coldly, walking in to sit down. Solo followed silently.
"Duo! How are you son?" Duo's father replied warmly. Duo stared at the man across the table. Jethro Maxwell was a large man with bulging muscles and a mop of black hair to match his coal black eyes. He was the village chief, the one everyone obeyed, the one who had power.
"I'm just fine father. I trust you are well too" Duo answered stiffly. Jethro had a hurt look on his face.
"Why are you so cold to me Duo? I'm just trying to be a good father". Duo sighed. He hated when his father laid a guilt trip on him.
"I'm sorry" he apologized grudgingly.
Jethro smiled. "That's better and how are you doing Solo?"
"I'm just fine daddy" Solo replied brightly.
"That's good. Mia, would you please serve us?" Jethro asked patiently.
"Yes sir" Mia whispered and began to dish out equal amounts of food on 3 plates. Sounds of eating filled the air for 10 minutes. Mia just stood quietly by the wood stove.
"So Duo, what have you been up to?" Jethro asked gently. Duo took another bite of food, chewed, and swallowed.
"I've been hanging out with Heero Yuy" he replied quietly. Jethro's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"What have I told you about associating with that boy? He's nothing but trouble" the village chief hissed menacingly. Duo glared back.
"Just because he stole a loaf of bread 8 years ago does not make him a trouble maker" Duo retorted angrily. Jethro stood up suddenly, knocking his chair over with a loud crash. Solo let out a frightened cry and covered his ears with trembling hands. Mia moved to pick up Solo to take him out of the room but Jethro prevented this by shoving Mia back across the room with one massive hand. With a cry of pain, she collided with the far wall and slumped to the ground, unconscious.
"Mia!" Solo cried frantically, leaping off his chair to the ground. Duo knew he had to act fast. Scooping Solo up in his arms, he tossed his younger brother out into the hallway. Luckily, Solo landed on his feet.
"Stay here!" Duo commanded fiercely. Solo nodded frantically, knowing that this was not the time to argue. Duo turned around only to be confronted by a fist flying into his stomach. He groaned and doubled over in pain. The muscular man then brought his fist down on Duo's upper back causing the braided boy to fall face first on the floor.
Jethro was breathing heavily, his rage still not satisfied. Grabbing his eldest son by his neck, Jethro hauled him up. Duo moaned and weakly tried to fight back but it was futile. Jethro brought Duo's face infront of his own. "I have spies all over the place and if they inform me that you've been seen with that Yuy kid again, I will ban him from the village, then I will punish you" Jethro explained furiously, tightening his grip ever so slightly. Duo was gasping for air by this time. "Do you understand?' the chief commanded, shaking Duo.
"Yes" Duo finally managed to choke out. Jethro let go of Duo and watched as he fell to the floor, trying to breathe as much life-saving air as possible.
"Good, I'm glad we understand each other then" Jethro commented lightly, walking out of the room. Brushing past the terrified Solo, he went upstairs to his room for the rest of the afternoon.
*~*
Groaning in pain, Duo managed to pull himself upright. He could already feel the bruises starting to form on his neck, back and stomach. After glancing around the disheveled room, he noticed that Mia was still lying at the base of the wall, motionless.
(A.n I've been sitting here for the last 10 minutes looking at my clock and deciding whether or not I'm going to write anymore in this chapter...It's midnight...I think I'll write a bit more)
"Solo, please come here" Duo called out worriedly. Solo's deep green eyes peaked around the doorway. When he saw Duo sitting on the floor, he gave a cry and ran over.
"Are you okay Duo?" Solo asked frantically. Duo slowly nodded his head.
"I'm fine. Just a bit beat up. I need you to go see if Mia's okay though" the eldest boy replied through gritted teeth. Solo walked over to where Mia laid. He crouched down and started to shake her shoulder gently.
"Mia, please wake up. Pretty please?" Solo pleaded tearfully. When Mia didn't respond, Solo glanced back at his older brother with tears in his innocent eyes. "How come she won't wake up?"
Duo had no clue what to tell his younger brother. "Hold on a minute buddy and I'll be right there" Duo said reassuringly, trying to stand up. Once he did, Duo felt something trickle down his arm. He already knew that it was blood as he reached up to wipe it away. As his fingers brushed over the cut, he felt a warm, tingly sensation flowing through his heart, to his veins, to his fingers and out the ends of them. When Duo looked 2 seconds later, the cut was gone! 'What just happened here?' the braided boy thought nervously.
Solo was watching Duo, who was staring at a particular spot on his arm. 'What's going on?' Solo thought curiously. Beside his feet, Mia stirred, then gave out a low moan. This sound jerked the 2 boys out of their own thoughts and back to the present. Duo painfully made his way over and flinched as he bent down beside her.
"Mia, are you okay?" Duo asked softly.
"Depends what you define 'feeling okay' as" Mia mumbled, struggling to sit up. Duo smiled at this comment as he offered a hand to Mia, which she took gratefully.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" Duo asked worriedly. Mia winced as she shook her head.
"I'm going to have a horrible headache later on but I'm fine other wise" she replied, as she leaned against the wall, resting her aching head on the cool surface. Duo followed her lead.
"I'll go find some herbs to soothe the pain" Duo offered, starting to walk out of the kitchen.
"Wait Duo, I want you to be careful" Mia pleaded. "Don't push your father too far. I couldn't stand it of anyone got hurt".
Duo gave a lopsided grin. "Yes mommy" he said teasingly then became serious. "I know where to find the herbs. I'll go there and come straight home". Duo then left the kitchen, went out the back door and headed towards the forest.
*~*
Mia took a look around the destroyed kitchen. "Solo, would you please go play outside while I clean this place up?" Mia asked quietly.
"Okay. I'll go visit Quatre!" Solo replied happily. Obviously, he hadn't been too affected by the incident.
"Alright, but Solo, don't tell Quatre what happened" Mia ordered.
"Why?"
"Please, just listen to me" Mia said impatiently. Being the innocent 5-year-old he was, Solo nodded and went out to the barn. No one seemed to notice the robin that had been sitting on the windowsill for the whole time had abruptly taken flight. 'We don't need to get anyone else involved. This is our life and we should be the only ones that have to deal with it' Mia thought fiercely, reaching for a broom.
*~*
The robin flew to the barn and into an empty stall. Solo entered a few seconds later. "Mista Quatra? Are you in here?" Solo called out cheerfully. Quatre's head popped up from behind a stall door.
"Yes, I'm right here" he replied, coming out. Solo sat down in the hay again.
"Mista Quatra, would you please tell me another story?"
