Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Faerie's Blood ❯ Capture ( Chapter 1 )

The deep mist of the morning dew seeped into the air. Trowa had just finished putting the sadle on the horse and hung the traveling packs on it.He rubbed his forehead with his hand and turned to grab the last travel pack and saw Quatre standing there looking at him. He was so pale, and looked much more fragile than before. It was as if the life was being drained, bit by bit. Just lloking at how sick Quatre was getting just over night made Trowa more determined to find a cure.

"Let me help..."Quatre told Trowa reaching for the pack. Trowa stopped him and shook his head. It only made Quatre frown.

"You never give up do you?" Trowa sighed attaching the last pack."I know you want to help but, you are sick. Don't want to make things worse."

Quatre bit his lower lip."I can help Trowa. I'm not helpless. I still don't understand why we have to leave town. Can't the doctor's medicine here work?" Quatre tugged on Trowa's sleeve not letting go."Tell me."

"Quatre, there's better medicines in the neighboring city, you know that. I just want you to be alright."Trowa felt guilty. He never told Quatre that he had that virus. He couldn't bare to tell him the truth afraid that Quatre would give up."I already told, our friends and family we are leaving for awhile. So we're ready to go anytime that you are."

Trowa had packed almost everything needed and that he could take with them that was neccessary. Quatre then smiled at him and nodded. He helped Quatre up on the horse first and then climbed up after him. Trowa really hoped that Quatre wouldn't get sick too fast, and be too late...

It was late afternoon. The forest trail was long and dull. The only sounds heard was that of nature and the movement of the horse walking along the trail. Trowa held Quatre against him with one hand so to help Quatre keep his balance. The other he held onto the reins of the horse. Quatre then began to figit. Trowa figured they had better stop.

They stopped beside a small stream. Trowa lept down from the horse and helped Quatre down which hung onto Trowa slugishly and a bit out of sorts. He sat Quatre down in the grass near the stream and cupped his hand with some water and held it to Quatre's mouth. Quatre's forehead was burning like fire. Yet the rest of his body was frozen. Like pure ice.

Quatre looked up at Trowa. He shook his head. "I'm fine." He slowly stood up and brushed some loose grass from his pants.

"Quatre, listen to me. You're sick. You have to take it easy. I know you're very independent. But right now. You need to listen to me." Trowa grabbed ahold of Quatre's arm and made him stop.

Quatre turned to face Trowa but his eyes went wide as he saw a figure behind Trowa. Things went so quickly that before Quatre could say or do anything, everything went dark.

A fuzzy image came to Trowa. A small glowing orb. No, it was some creature. He slowly reached out to it witch a hand but felt his body go numb. He then felt himself on his back, watching a dark red liquid drip on himself. He could smell the sick sense of blood. He couldn't move. He saw the glowing orb float around his face, then a shrill scream filled his ears. Trowa winced and closed his eyes.

He shot up feeling a sharp pain on his head. He held a hand to it to feel a small bruise. It was pitch black around him. He tried feeling his way around only too feel the coldness of dirt. It was wet and muddy around him, like he was underground, in some type of cage... He looked up to see small cracks of sunlight, or some other light peer through. It didn't brighten the room up any.

"What the.....?" He then squinted through the darkness, once he realized Quatre wasn't heard or seen."Quatre?" He felt around the area to nothing. He was worried."Dammit..." He then looked upward."QUATRE!" he called out, hoping to get a reply from Quatre or anyone for that matter. He jsut wanted to know if Quatre was here and well.

He slumped down to the ground in defeat after hearing no answer. He slammed his fists to the ground."Dammit!" Hopefully Quatre would be alright.

um.............. any......good?
