Chapter 6:

"Get to the lower rooms!"

"What’s going on?!" Une demanded but moved to get off the bed. Odin growled and bared his teeth to no one in particular. The fine hair on his neck stood on end.

Duo looked worriedly from the two weres then to the door. Where was Heero? He slipped pass Odin and Une and looked down each end of the hall. The bedroom door was slightly jarred.

"Psst! Heero!" the braided were called. There was some movement and then Heero’s face appeared peeking out the door. Duo smiled in relief and the grey were returned the expression.

"You have to get to the lower level."

"What about you?"

"Never mind me, take Heero and Duo to the lower levels and wait there."
Duo half listened to the argument going on. If it was so dangerous that they had to go to the lower levels of the estate, then why was Heero all the way over there? He slipped silently out of the room to join his friend. He didn’t like the idea of him being alone.
The sudden sounds of harsh claws against the ground made him freeze and press close to the wall. His small body blended perfectly into the shadows. His amethyst eyes glowed slightly from the filtered moonlight.

Two large were came prowling down the hall. Were-jackals. Big were-jackals.

Duo looked frantically to calculate the distance between him and the room. He wouldn’t make it before they noticed him. He looked to Heero.

"Go back," Heero mouthed. His cobalt eyes were wide with fright. "Go!"

Duo shook his head. He couldn’t leave Heero alone! He wouldn’t!

The braided were-cat slunk to the other side of the all and pressed against the wall again. He slowly inched towards his target. He had just gotten in arm’s length of the door when one of the jackals saw him.

"That him?" the gruff voice whispered to his partner.

"Dunno, let’s grab him."

Duo didn’t have time to scream when the jackal charged and picked him up by his braid.

"DUO!!" Heero’s cries alerted Odin and Une.

"Put him down!" Odin came charging towards the jackal as fast as he could. If the jackal reached its full speed, he wouldn’t be able to catch him.

"Stop right there." The were-jackal holding Duo wrapped his free hand around the youth’s neck. He freed his other hand from his braid and placed a claw to his neck. Duo whimpered and squirmed.

Odin grudgingly stopped in his tracks. He glared maliciously as the intruders began to retreat down the hall. Heero tensed and reacted on pure instinct. He pounced on the jackal not holding Duo and clawed him in the face.

The were reared back with a pained roar leaving his neck exposed. The smaller were took that to his advantage and slashed the were’s throat just above his adam’s apple. The were choked and gurgled as blood seeped quickly from his neck. Heero didn’t stop.

He slashed again this time disemboweling the intruder. The were-jackal fell lifelessly to floor. "Give. Me. Back. Duo." With each word he took a step towards the second assailant.

"You don’t get do you?" The jackal tightened his grip causing Duo to whimper louder. "I’ll kill him if you come any closer." He ran a claw along Duo’s neck just enough to draw blood.

Heero faltered.

The jackal took that to his advantage and took off down the hall. Heero and Odin took off after him. They reached a lower level of the estate. Moonlight filled the hall through large Victorian styled windows.

Thinking quickly, the jackal turned sharply and jumped out of the window. Duo yelped as his head hit the cemented frame and fell unconscious. His kidnapper took no notice and continued his escaped.

Heero panted and watched as the dark figure bounded and sprinted across the courtyard. His heart clenched painfully in his chest and frustrated tears threatened to fall. He turned quickly and stared desperately at his father.
"You have to save him! Send some officers, something!"

Odin didn’t meet his gaze.

"You have to find Duo!"

"Heero!" Odin looked miserably to his son. "If we do, they’ll kill him."

"No…" Heero looked brokenly at the ground. Tears flowed freely from his face. "Duo, I’m sorry." His knees gave out on him but he could care less. He had broken his promise to protect his best friend. He felt his heart freeze over and chip. All light in his eyes died instantly. "DUO!!!"

The mournful howl was carried on the nightly breeze to the unconscious were. A single tear left the youth’s closed eyes along with a silent whisper. "Heero…"
