Midnight Terror

The heavens poured down, thunder crashed, and brilliant flashes of lightening lit up the sky. It was the night of witches and goblins, potions and mystery, death and danger. It was the night of a Halloween party... (bum, bum, BUM!!!!! he, he, he)

Five young men hurriedly decorated for their ghoulish party,

"Yo this place is most definitely the best place for us to have our Halloween party!" Duo exclaimed as he hung up another strand of skeleton lights, "Cuz I mean, this place looks just like a house out of one of those haunted house movies! Creaky floorboards, long, dark, narrow hallways! Man this place is down right hauntin'!!"

"I must agree with Duo, this house does give off a bit of uneasy spookiness." Quatre replied quietly, lighting a jack-o-lantern; causing its eyes to glow in an almost raging anger, with a smirk that seemed to promise death. Wufei snorted his response, but said nothing. Trowa walked in the room carrying another box of decorations,

"Heero, how did you happen to get this house anyways?" Heero looked at the taller boy out of the corner of his eye before responding,

"Dr. J left it to me in his will." The room grew silent, each boy remembering the day the scientist had died on Peacemillion. None of them knew how to react to their deaths, they despised them greatly, and yet, in a way, they greatly admired the older men who had given their lives to correct the mistake of the man named Odin Lowe...

'Creak!' Thunder crashed as the black sky was set aflame in a magnificent and terrifying flash of light. Duo shivered and shook his head,

"No offense man, but I wouldn't be surprised if this house were haunted."

"Haunted?" Quatre asked nervously,

"Yeah, you know, like ghosts and stuff."

"You baka!! The injustice of forcing your stupidity upon others by making them listen to your incoherent jabber about ghosts!! There are no such things as ghosts!" Wufei snapped in an aggravated tone. The lights suddenly went out; thunder and lightening crashed and clashed, as the wind howled and moaned into the unwelcoming night. Burning candles dimly lighted the room and seven frightening faces as their light dances and moved along the walls and sent fear into the hearts of all that saw them. After a moment the lights flickered into life, revealing four wide-eyed boys.

"D-Duo... w-what just h-h-happened?" Quatre stuttered, Duo looked around; his eyes grew wide with fear as his faced paled,

"Where's Heero?!?" he shrieked in a panicked voice.

"I'm right here. The lights just blew a fuse, and I fixed it," a monotone and chilling voice answered. The others let out a sigh of relief. BAM! BAM! BAM! Duo shrieked, Quatre and Trowa nearly two feet, and Wufei got in a fighting stance; Heero just looked at them like they were crazy.

"It's someone at the door."

"So answer it instead of standing there like a baka!!" Wufei snapped, Heero rolled his eyes and walked to the front door, with the others following cautiously behind him. The door opened with a long, slow creak, just as the clock struck six...

A pair of murderous ice blue eyes snapped open and glared down at them; a blood-curling scream filled the air, causing Quatre and Trowa to grab their guns, and Wufei withdrew his Katana, preparing himself for an attack. Duo's scream was soon followed by the sound of his hysterical laughter as Milliardo stepped into the light, giving them a look of scrutinizing uncertainty.

"Man, that was priceless!!" Duo managed between laughter, "You should have seen the looks on ya'lls faces!! Ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaa!" Quatre put his gun away,

"That wasn't funny Duo."

"Ah, but Quatre that's where you are wrong. You see... from your point of view, it wasn't funny, where as the rest of us found it very funny." a feminine voice replied; Milliardo stepped aside to reveal the people standing behind him. Dorothy, Hilde, Catherine, Relena, Sally, Noin, and Lady Une stood on the porch laughing at the recent incident. Quatre blushed and smiled sheepishly. The others came in and Heero closed the door. Hilde was dressed as Mortisha, off of the Addams Family show, Catherine was dressed as an orange cat with black and gray strips, Dorothy was dressed as an animal tamer or a safari guide, but no one was brave enough to ask which one she was since she had a whip at her side, but Sally wasn't wearing a costume, instead her regular white doctor's coat,

"Hey, I'm a doctor, when am I going to have time to buy a costume?" Treize was dressed as the Phantom of the Opera, wearing his old Romefeller uniform and a white mask that cover the right side of his face, Lady Une was dressed as a joker (AN: w/o the weird hat), and Noin was dressed as a sparkling enchantress. Duo looked at Zechs,

"What are you pretending to be?" Zechs glanced at him and shrugged,

"I'm pretending to be nice."

"Like that'll ever happen!" Duo mumbled under his breath,

"I heard that you braided baka!"

"Whatever," he looked at Heero and Relena, who were standing against the wall.

"Where are your costumes?"

"Basement." Heero replied; Relena held up a backpack,

"There's an empty bedroom upstairs," he stated; Duo eyes got really big and his mouth flew open, Heero glared at him,

"I wasn't saying it like *that* you perverted idiot!" Heero snapped,

"Yeah, but it-"

"Get your mind out of the gutter!!"

"Okay, okay! Sheesh! But, what's a man suppose to think when ya say something like that?" Relena went upstairs and Heero went into the basement; the others hung out in the living room as the storm outside raged on...

~~*~~

Relena came downstairs wearing a white turtle neck sweater, cut to show her stomach, a blue jean jacket, blue jeans, and black boots. Everyone gaped at her, and Milliardo looked as if he were about to have a heart attack, because when he saw her, he choked on his drink, causing Relena and the others to laugh,

"Relena! What-are-you-wearing?????"

"Clothes."

"Not from where I'm standing! Go-"

"Zechs, chill! It's a *costume*! Besides, you can freak out when she wears the no-back halter-top and mini skirt that Hilde and I got her for Christmas, and she wears it out in public. Until then, chill!" Duo replied.

"Oh shut-up, Maxwell!!"

"The names Duo, Peacecraft!!!" 'Crash!'

"What was that?" Hilde gasped,

"Something landed on the roof." The lights flickered,

"Relena, go check the fuse box. It's in the office, through the door past the foyer." Trowa instructed and Relena silently obeyed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Slowly, Relena walked into the dark office. A small lamp gave the room very little light, and Relena fumbled with a light switch only to find that there wasn't one. Every few seconds the room was lit up by the lightening outside, as rain beat on the window and thunder roared in the sky. Relena shivered as a chill ran down her spine. The lights flickered a moment before going out completely. A scream came from the other room, Relena whirled around to run back in there, but stopped when she saw Dr. J. Quickly, and she backed away from him,

"D-Dr. J!!"

"Relena, don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here because the others have been sent into another dimension, and only you can save them. But I warn you they aren't quiet themselves."

"But what do I do? And how do I get there and back?"

"You'll know what to do when the time comes, and you will automatically come back once you've saved all of them." Relena nodded to him,

"Alright, I'll do what I can."

"Good girl." He replied as he disappeared, and at the same time the world around Relena changed and she found herself standing in front of a massive building with brick walls and a massive iron door. The building was in shambles and hung opened like a rotting wound; 'M. L. P. Monster Lock-up Prison' was on the sign above the door. Lightening and thunder raged in the sky, in a mad battle that seemed like it would never end. Relena opened the heavy door, letting it slammed closed behind her. Papers were scattered everywhere, the desk was flipped over, and its contents sprawled across the room. The light fixture hanging from the ceiling was swaying gently back and forth. Relena looked around in amazement and shock; gasping when she saw the blood splattered on one wall, and the trail of blood that led down the hall. Relena looked at the other hallway, wanting to follow it, for fear of what she might find if she went down the bloodied hall. A shrill cackle filled the air, follower by a scream of sheer terror. Relena looked down the blood streaked hall, where the scream had come from, and took a deep breath before racing down the hall as fast as she could, but unknown to her, a dark figured followed closely behind, gaining with every step...

Relena stopped in her tracks and listened for a sound to tell her where the insane cackling had come from. The terrifying laughter rang out, sending chills down her spine, Relena ran into a dark room, and stared at what she saw before her. There was Sally Po, hunched over a laboratory table filled with bottles that were glowing, and bubbling. She wore a white laboratory coat; unaware of Relena's presence, continued what she was doing. Picking up a bottle, she poured some of it's contents into another solution, it let out a large puff of smoke, then began to foam and over flow the container,

"Yes! YES! SUCCESS!! With this potion I will turn all humans into my mindless zombies (AN: if she hadn't told me, I would have NEVER guessed that was her plan! yeah right.) who will obey my every wish! I WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!!!!!"

"Not if I can help it!" Relena stated, Sally snapped her attention to where Relena was standing and glared at her with an evil smirk on her face,

"A small girl like you can do nothing to stop me," she held up the foaming chemical, "I have the key to power!! MMWWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Gunshot! Sally dropped the now broken container, its contents splattered on the floor. Relena grinned,

"Correction Sally... you *had* the key to power!" Relena looked at the gun in her hand, she hadn't even realized that she had it!!

"NO! My potion! All of my hard work! Ruined," she wailed looking at the mess on the floor, she glared at Relena, "And it's all your fault!" she hissed

"If you want an apology, then I hate to burst your bubble, but you won't be getting one from me." Sally screamed furiously, flipping her laboratory table over with a crash; multi-colored puffs of smoke filled the air. A figure came running towards her through the smoke,

"YOU WILL PPAAAAYYYY!!!!!" she screeched, a sword above her head. Relena readied herself for the attack, as Sally's sword came down, Relena dodged to the side, bringing her knee into Sally's abdomen; Sally's eyes bulged as she gasped for air; Relena thrust her elbow into her back, Sally fell to the floor with a thud. Pulling out her gun, She aimed it at Sally's heart and pulled the trigger. There Sally lay, in a growing pool of her own blood; only then did Relena realize what had just happened. She gasped in horror,

"Oh God! Sally.... what have I done?!" she stared at Sally's lifeless body; it slowly disappeared, leaving only her lab coat on the floor. Relena turned and ran out of the room, shock, fear, and sadness overwhelmed her. She wanted to cry, but with the sadness came a feeling of relief. So,... I guess to save everyone, I have to kill them. But how can I kill by best friends?!

/Just remember that it really isn't them./ Her mind repeated over and over again.

But- her thoughts were interrupted when she felt something rush past her. Stopping she looked around the dark corridor, but could see nothing. Something was near her though... she could hear it breathing. A low growl filled Relena with terror...

The creature lunged for Relena, knocking her to the ground. It then stood to it's full height, and Relena stared in disbelief. It was most definitely a werewolf; his ravenous snarls revealed his deadly fangs, as violet-blue eyes looked at her as if she were the about to be slain prey....

"Duo..." Relena whispered too stunned to move. The only reason she knew it was him was because of his eyes, What has happened to Duo?! This can't be him! He jumped at her, snapping his fangs in an effort to get a bite of her; Relena held up her hands, keeping his opened jaws from coming any closer. He clawed wildly at the floor, bring his attack to her exposed stomach, he slashed across the sensitive skin. Relena screamed in pain, and he quickly backed away from her, covering his ears from the painful sound. Her hand went to her side, the blood seeped through her fingers. Duo jumped at her again and Relena closed her eyes. A pained yelp filled the air, followed by a thud. Relena opened her eyes; Duo was laying on the ground not moving. It was then that Relena noticed the dark figure crouched protectively next to her....

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He turned slightly and looked at her; she looked so scared, and yet she was still so beautiful! Her soft skin was paled in fright, her eyes wide; she stared up at him. He let his eye travel down her body; watched her chest rise and fall with each breath, and her hand still covered her bleeding wound, the red liquid covered her hand. Something in him clicked and he wanted to claim her as his own, taste the liquid that ran over her soft, fragrant skin; he wanted to hold her in his arms, to feel her warm, soft body beneath his hands...

"Heero!" she gasped, and his eyes riveted to her face. There was a look in her eyes that he didn't understand, there was some hidden meaning in the way she looked at him that he didn't understand...

An enraged roar came from the attacking wolf creature as he got to his feet and came charging towards them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He left her side, returning Duo's attack; lunging at the wolf with full force. Duo was knocked back, only to jump off the wall in another attack. The two fell to the floor, rolling and jumping, attacking and dodging. Duo jumped onto one wall and then another before jumping at Heero, who was down on one knee. She grabbed her gun, firing three shots, and an agonized howl filled the air as Duo's body disappeared in the air. Relena laid her head back on the floor, breathing a sigh of relief, she turned her head to look at Heero. He stood, facing her and breathing heavily. He wore tight jeans with cuts in the legs, a white shirt that clung to his muscular chest and abdomen, along with a long black coat. Slowly; painfully, Relena stood to her feet, but leaned against the wall to keep from falling. They stood like that for some time, scrutinizing each other, when he walked towards her, stopping directly in front of her, mere inches between them.

"Heero..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She whispered a name, there was something familiar about the name, but whatever it was, he didn't know. He looked her over, she continued to hold her side, the blood had slowed, but it still bled continuously. He looked at her neck, sensitive and soft; delicious and sweet; he wanted to have a taste of it, to nuzzle her neck and drink her up completely, to make her like him, a creature of the night, surviving only on living blood... but something in him wouldn't allow him to feed his hunger using her. He reached out and touched her neck with both hands, sliding them down and running his fingers along her delicate collar bone, then to her sides; she gasped and tensed her body, inwardly he smiled at her reaction as he continued to work his hands down her body, as his hands reached her waist he got down on his knees; letting his hands rest on her hips. God, she was beautiful and perfect in every way! Her body seemed perfectly curved, and she seemed to fit so well in his hands! Gently, he moved her hand away from her bleeding wound; the blood glistened on her skin. Closing his eyes, he pressed his lips against the wound, but not so much as to cause her pain, he felt her quiver under his touch; he reluctantly pulled away from her, and watched as the wound immediately healed from his kiss. He stood to his feet, keeping his hands on her hips. Staring into her eyes that told so much, he suddenly saw the truth and remembered. He was Heero Yuy, Gundam pilot and assassin. She was Relena Peacecraft, the symbol of peace for the Earth and colonies , the girl that had taught him how to feel, the only person he had ever loved, the girl he fell in love with...

He dropped his hands and stepped away from her. Wit one hand she reached out for him, but then stopped.

"Oh Heero..." He could see the tears building in her eyes. He wanted to die.... again. He'd hurt her and made her cry. He let her get attacked by Duo, and he could have protected her!

"Relena, I-" he began, but stopped when he saw the look that came over her face when he spoke, and he closed his mouth; she'd seen his fangs and probably saw him now as the monster he really was. One that lurked in the shadows, killed mercilessly, and disappeared without a trace. He turned and fled, hiding in the shadows, engulfed by his shame. She called after him, the sound of her angel-like voice rang in his ears and pulled at his chest...
