Okay, I'm back with the 7th chapter.... this one is a not as eventful as chapter 6....but that could be a good thing......
Disclaimer-I don't own anything related to Gundam Wing OR any of my magical knowledge. I got all of that from some wonderful books.
Warnings-well, it WAS rated NC-17 for rape but since that is over....the rating really doesn't apply to this story for another few chapters. There's also a 1+2 pairing and Heero is really really really OOC.
"People talking"
'Thoughts'
Discovering Magic Within
Quatre gently laid Solo down in the hay, making sure the little boy was still sleeping. 'I'm not sure how long that spell will last, I'm low on energy' Quatre thought worriedly, nearly collapsing onto the hay himself.
"Quatre! We have a big problem!" Duo exclaimed, entering the barn, carrying what looked like a bundle of blankets. Quatre ran up to Duo, having sensed the urgency in Duo's voice.
"What's the problem?" Quatre asked.
"This" Duo answered angrily, placing the blankets on the ground. Curiosity got the better of Quatre as he peeled back one corner of the quilt to reveal Mia's pale and scratched face.
"Oh my! What happened to her?" the blonde cried in dismay.
"Nevermind that, you've got to help me save her. She has a knife wound!" Duo explained tearfully.
"Calm down Duo" Quatre ordered. "You can't help her if you panic. Now what I'm about to do must be kept a complete secret". Duo nodded, too afraid to say anything. "Now let's see what I can do" Quatre muttered, taking off his borrowed tee shirt and draped it over the top half of Mia's naked body when he gently peeled back the rest of the quilt, revealing horrible looking scratches and red splotches. Putting on a brave face, he pulled away the part of the quilt that was completely soaked with blood and nearly stuck to Mia's skin. The wound was still leaking the red liquid as Quatre slowly placed a hand over it.
"What are you doing?" Duo whispered, leaning in.
"Just trust me" Quatre replied as he closed his eyes. Duo watch intently when Quatre moved even closer to the girl as his brow furrowed with concentration. He could see some sort of light traveling in strands from Quatre's chest. All these strands seemed like they had a mind of their own, twirling this was and that but the harder Quatre concentrated, the more the strands of light seemed to obey him. Line after line of light gathered in Quatre's outstretched palm on Mia's stomach until the glow from the light was even better than the lantern. Sweat dripped down Quatre's forehead, as he seemed to push the light into Mia. The air around the 2 youths was warm and pleasant.
'Where have I felt this before?' Duo thought puzzeldly, rubbing the upper part of his arm absentmindedly. 'And why does this light feel so familiar?' With a slight groan, the blonde let go of Mia and fell back on the hay, breathing heavily.
"Quatre!" Duo cried, standing up to see if his friend was all right. But as he did, he happened to glance down at the motionless girl. The sight that met his violet eyes made Duo stop short and just stare. The gash in Mia's stomach had disappeared. In fact, all the scratches and red marks that had been around there just moments before were gone! "Q...qqqquuaaatrre? Are you magic?" Duo stammered, falling to his knees in total shock.
"Water" Quatre croaked, opening his eyes a slit.
"Oh, of course!" Duo exclaimed, snapping out of his trance. He scrambled up and ran to the corner of the barn where a pail of water and dipper were kept. With a shaky hand, Duo gathered some water in the dipper and brought it over to Quatre. "Here, drink" the braided boy encouraged, placing a hand behind Quatre's head, lifting it up slightly, while tipping the dipperful of liquid into the boy's parched mouth. Quatre swallowed eagerly. As the water traveled down his throat, color started to return to Quatre's deathly pale cheeks.
"Thank you" he whispered, flashing Duo a reassuring smile.
"Are you okay?" Duo asked quietly, setting the now empty dipper in the hay beside him.
"I'll be fine. I was just low on energy" the blonde explained, sitting up.
"What did you do to Mia?" Duo asked cautiously.
"What do you think I did?" Quatre replied calmly. Duo shifted uneasily in the hay.
"I don't know".
"I think you do".
"Did you use..." Duo's voice dropped to a whisper "magic?" Quatre's smile widened.
"So you do know what magic looks like" Quatre said happily.
"Are you a healer?" Duo couldn't seem to stop asking questions.
"Nope, I'm not. That's why healing Mia tired me out so mush" Quatre finished, running a hand through his hair.
"Will she be all right now?' The braided boy was afraid to hear the answer as he saw Quatre's smile diminish.
"Well, I managed to heal the life threatening cut but those scratches could kill her in the long run" the blonde explained, his frown growing. "They could get infected".
"Well, can't you heal them?" Duo exclaimed quietly. Quatre instantly shook his head.
"I already told you that I don't specialize in healing. I admit that I can do some but anymore healing tonight and I will die" Quatre replied angrily.
"Well, you don't have to yell at me" Duo snapped back.
"I want to help her as much as you but there's nothing we can do" Quatre retorted. Duo clenched his hand into a fist and slammed it into the hay. Duo was too angry to notice anything but Quatre's trained eyes picked up that one small detail that changed the situation entirely. There was a faint but steady glow surrounding the braided boy. "Duo, has anything strange ever happened to you?" Quatre asked gently, placing one hand on Duo's shoulder, catching his attention.
"Depends on what you mean by strange" Duo muttered, avoiding Quatre's prying teal eyes.
"You know what I mean".
"Ummmm...kinda".
"This is really important. It could decide the fate of Mia's life".
"Yes then".
"Are you lying?"
"I never lie".
"ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!! I knew it!" Quatre exclaimed, jumping up and started to dance around. But after a few seconds, he was forced to sit back down by sheer exhaustion.
"May I ask what you know?" Duo asked confusedly. Quatre turned to his newfound friend, eyes gleaming and a huge smile plastered on his face.
"You, my friend, can save Mia because you have the gift" He announced triumphantly.
"The gift?" Duo repeated, looking even more confused. Quatre nodded enthusiastically.
"Yup, the gift of healing. If properly trained, you could become a mage, a leader in your own field" the blonde chirruped. "I'm so happy I've finally found you".
"Slow down for a minute. You're saying that I am a mage?" Duo said slowly, as thought he didn't trust his voice anymore.
"Well, you're definitely not a mage yet but after some training and experience, you can be qualified to become on. Since I've discovered your power, I'm kinda like your teacher or guide. Right now, you will be called a dedicate. That's the name given to newly discovered magic people, to put it simply" Quatre explained. Duo could only stare straight ahead.
"This can't be true! It's just not possible you see. I was tested for magic when I was little. On everybody's 3rd birthday, you must be tested" Duo argued faintly.
"You must have developed your magic later, extremely rare, but it's possible" Quatre replied. "Now, if we could get down to business..."
"I never said I believed you" Duo interrupted. "What if I think you're lying?" Quatre's smile faded a little.
"Well then, I guess it all comes down to whether or not you trust me" the blonde commented quietly. Duo turned his confused violet eyes on Quatre.
"Can I trust you?"
"That's something you'll have to decide on your own". Duo relocated his gaze for a second before confronting Quatre's piercing one. As Duo stared into the depths of those teal eyes, the world seemed to melt around him. Images floated past him. His eyes widened as he saw that the images were parts of his past, the parts of his pasts of whenever he had accidentally done magic.
'He can see inside my head!' Duo concluded, tearing his eyes away and shutting them up tight.
"Don't be afraid" Quatre murmured. "Welcome it".
"It's you! You're controlling my thoughts" Duo cried out. Quatre sighed and shook his head.
"Maybe this has been a little too much for you to take in. If you help Mia tonight, you will never have to even think about your power again, alright?" Quatre said soothingly. Duo slowly opened his eyes.
"You've got yourself a deal. Now, what do I do?" the braided boy asked bravely, moving beside Mia. Quatre grinned.
"That's the spirit. First of all, you have to look into your heart and find a tiny ball of light or energy. Close your eyes now" Quatre explained seriously. Duo closed his eyes obediently. Carefully, standing up, the blonde began to circle his new friends, now noticing the distinct silence. "Um, Duo?" Duo opened one eye.
"Yes?"
"Keep searching for the energy but answer this one question for me. I don't know much about animals but they're not supposed to be lying down, right?" Quatre asked curiously. Duo gave a slight nod.
"Not unless they are dead or are very sick" Duo confirmed, still searching.
"Then we have a problem".
"What?"
"Not a single animal in this barn is standing up".
TBC
Was it any good? I don't know if that's true about the animals but let's just say it is for the sake of a plot. Was Quatre too OOC? Please review and tell me what you think!
Thanx for reading
