Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Inside Looking Out ❯ A Story To Tell ( Chapter 2 )

Later that night, Duo walked silently down the steps to get Heero for dinner.

Opening the door and walking in, his eyes fell on Heero curled up on the bed surrounded by a mountain of pillows.

Smiling softly, Duo walked over to Heero and laid his hand gently on his shoulder, shaking him slightly.

Heero's eyes opened slowly and looked into the eyes of his new master. Beautiful, was Heero's first thought as he stared into Duo's eyes. I have never seen anyone's eyes that shade of violet since...

Suddenly snapping out of his musings, Heero spoke, "Is there anything you need sir?" He questioned softly.

"Yes there is." Duo started

'Oh no, I pray he's not gonna try anything on me.' Heero thought as he looked from Duo's eyes to the floor.

"I need you to come downstairs to dinner." Duo stated simply, knowing exactly what Heero was thinking.

I was going to wait till he got settled in to tell him why I brought him here, but I think I'll tell him at dinner so he'll understand that I'm not going to hurt him in any way. Shaking his head of his thoughts, he held out his hand to Heero. "Come on, the food's waiting for us. We don't want it to get cold now do we?" Duo said, a smirk on his lips as Heero looked at his hand then ever so gently took it.

Dinner passed by too quickly for Duo. He wasn't sure how Heero was going to react to what he had to tell him.

Finishing off his dessert of cheesecake with strawberries and whip cream, Duo looked across the table at Heero, who was finishing off his second helping of cheesecake.

"Heero." Duo said to get Heero's attention.

When Heero had his eyes on Duo, Duo began to speak.

"I know you're wondering why I really brought you here, and I know this is going to be hard to believe. But do you remember when you were younger, a boy who you called your only best friend? You played with him in the basement of that hell-hole?"

Duo paused for a moment to see if Heero did or did not remember and after waiting a minute, Heero slowly nodded his head.

Seeing he did remember Duo went on. "And do you remember that the boy said that he would get out and come for you as soon as he could?"

Suddenly on alert, Heero spoke up a little, "How do you know about Shin?" (1)

"Heero," Duo said getting up and walking over to Heero and looking him in the eye, "I am Shin."

"No," Heero started, "You can't be Shin, he died a long time ago."

"Well apparently not because I'm standing right in front of you," Duo said. "Can't you tell it's me by my eyes?"

Heero looked hard at Duo's eyes and he knew. "It is you."

And before Duo could say anything he had an arm full of Heero.

"They told me you died when I woke up one morning looking for you. I was so scared of being alone with no one to lean on."

"Aw Heero," Duo said, stroking Heero's messy brown hair.

"Wait, did you just say that you leaned on me?" Duo asked, pulling Heero back to look at him. "You were always so strong, if anything I leaned on you."

"No," Heero said shaking his head. "I didn't like to show it, but I needed you. I need you so bad that when they told me you died and I knew I would never see you again, I broke." Heero said, sighing these were not memories he liked to think about.

"It's alright Heero, we're together now and that's what matters." Duo whispered into Heero's ear. Heero just wrapped his arms around Duo's waist even tighter. 

After a few moments Heero's mind began to analyze what Duo said. He came for me like he said he would, but how did he get out? What did he do to get out? 

Heero's mind began to make all kinds of ideas of what Duo had to do in order to get out. But the best way to find out would be to ask Duo directly. He was after all Heero's new master even if they were friends.

Heero slowly pulled away from Duo to look into his eyes again. They were the same eyes he remembered every time he thought of Shin, but what was he supposed to call his friend now? Shin was his friend when they were both kids and the nightmares stayed away when he was around. But Duo had gotten him out of that purgatory and was his 'master' according to his records. Heero was still a slave and was now owned by Duo.

Duo could do anything he wanted with him. Even though Heero trusted Shin completely and was relieved that Shin, now called Duo, had found him once again, he wasn't certain that he hadn't changed.

A part of Heero told him that he was safe now, but the other part told him he would have to be wary of Duo even if he wanted him to ...

Heero stopped that train of thought right then, but the small voice of his conscious told him that it was a possibility. Heero clamped down on that thought and shoved it to the back of his mind. Duo wouldn't do that to him. No matter how long it had been since they were together. Heero put his faith in Duo at that moment and made a promise to himself that this time he would never be left behind.

It was so horrible to be without Shin in that cold, drafty prison, day after day, night after night filled with fiends that wanted to rip him apart. Men that would use him, break him in the worst way they could and leave him naked, bruised, and bleeding without a care to his welfare. Heero had indorsed so much at their hands and now he was faced with dealing with Duo.

Heero hoped that he hadn't changed, but as long as he was with his best friend again, he would fight the four horsemen of the Apocalypse before being separated from him again. He really didn't know how to react to this new situation but he would take it one step at a time.

Finally letting each other go, Duo took Heero down a hallway to what looked like it was supposed to be a living room and sitting Heero down on a big fluffy red couch. "Do you have anymore questions?" Duo asked looking Heero in the eye.

"Well," Heero began, looking at his hands, "I was wondering how you got out, because I tried a couple of times, but every time I got caught."

Looking up at Duo, Heero saw that he was staring into space, deep in thought. "Duo?' Heero said his name to see if Duo heard his question.

"I heard you Heero," Duo finally said after a few seconds. "It's just that it's kind of weird."  Duo paused and Heero was just about to say that he didn't care how weird it was, but Duo began to talk again. "But I guess if you really want to know I'll tell you." Looking down at his hands Duo began his story.

"Well you remember how when it became night they only had two people patrolling the halls?" Heero simply nodded his head and Duo went on. "Well the ones that patrolled are halls really never did because they where in my room when you didn't come to sleep with me, and they raped me every night. It was awful. They would come into my room after the lights had been out for twenty minutes and just started kissing and feelin'  me up and telling me how 'pretty' I was. But one day I said enough was enough and I wasn't sure how I was going to get out, but I was going to, and that's when he appeared." Duo paused to make sure Heero was following all of it and he was.

"He looked like the any slave master, but for some odd reason I knew he was different. He spotted me staring at him and came over to me asking what's my name and I, of course told him. He then took me by the hand and lead me to one of those room they could take you to see if you were what they were looking for. He closed and locked the door, then began to speak ever softly. So softly I couldn't understand what he was saying till he said 'do I want to get out of there?' I perked up a little when he said this and I nodded yes. 'Would you do anything to get out of here,' he asked and I didn't even have to think twice about it, so I again nodded my head yes." Duo paused, taking a deep breath.

"This is where things start to get really weird. His eyes glowed this really deep blue and if that wasn't enough to just scare the hell out of me, he walked over and grabbed me and put his mouth to my neck and I felt the slightest pinch. It felt like I was drowning. I couldn't breath at all. I was having trouble keeping my eyes open. I felt myself slipping away, and then there was something pressed to mouth and I felt a hot liquid running down and burning my throat. Before I knew what was going on, it all ended and I was left unconscious on the floor. When I woke up I was in a room lying on a bed with the two guards that raped me right there with me. I could feel that there was something different about me, but I didn't know what it was until I looked at the first guard and heard his heartbeat. I don't know what took over me after that, but I pounced on him and drained him completely. While I did this, the other guard took out his club and start to beat me with it so I would come off of his partner, but I wouldn't let go until I was done with him and then I turned my attention to the guard that was hitting me. I grabbed the club out of his hand and jumped on him. He screamed and made a gurgling sound in the back of his throat and then he dropped lifeless on the floor. I stood up turned to the window ripped the bars off and left.

Duo stopped and looked to Heero, he knew his story was confusing and hard to believe, but it was the truth.

The only words out of Heero's mouth were. "What are you?"

"Heero, I am a vampire." Was Duos simple answer.
