Peace Children Chapter 10

"Um, I'm a little lost," Hilde said.

"We all are," Quatre interrupted. He turned to Trowa. "Will you tell us what's going on?"

Trowa looked around and saw the questions in Wufei's, Quatre's, and Hilde's eyes. "Yes," he said. "If you're going to be of any use, you're going to need to know what's going on."

"Not many people know this, but most mythological creatures are real. They're collectively called Mysticals. A groups of humans, called the Collectors, hunt these Mysticals. They capture and kill them. Before they kill the Mysticals, they put them in a tube that harvests their essence. This what kills them. I've heard it's a horrible death." Here Trowa stopped to let what he had said soak into the humans.

"A little over fifteen years ago, the Collectors captured the Seelie Queen's and Unseelie King's daughter, the Sidhe Princess Marimaeia. The Seelie and Unseelie are very high-ranking Mysticals that had just reunited again to become Sidhe, so everyone was outraged that the Collectors would steal their princess, the one who would bring peace to the Sidhe after years of war.

"The Collectors had never dared capture a princess, or any kind of royalty, before then. The leaders of the different Mystical groups knew that the Collectors had to be planning something, so they met and decided to band together to rid the world of the Collectors' evil. They decided to make something no one had ever even thought of before, let alone made, to symbolize their new union.

"A few nights later, every Mystical met in a large forest clearing. The ceremony went as planned, but the results were unexpected. Instead of one Peace Child, there were two Peace Children. The ceremony ended, and the two children were taken away, to rest. That's when everything went wrong. About fifteen minutes after the children were gone, Collectors descended upon us like rabid dogs. Thousands of Mysticals died that night, but even worse, the Peace Children were gone. We haven't had peace between the species, because they all suspect each other of informing the Collectors of our location that night." Trowa stopped talking and looked at the others.

"My entire family died that night," Wufei said quietly.

Kali motioned for Zechs to get in the car, and he did. "I thought you had to be 16 to drive," the obviously high man said to Kali.

"Not where we live now," she said, flashing Zechs a big cheese- eating grin. "Aren't you curious as to where we're going?" she asked, starting the car and taking off.

"I guess," he answered.

"We're going to see Keifer," she said.

Zechs' dilated eyes lit up at his name. "Really? Where is he?"

"He's at the Overlook," Kali answered. "You know, where you and he went on your first date."

Zechs nodded eagerly, excited at the prospect of seeing the boy he loved again. It had been so long, he knew Keifer would be happy to see him again, too.

The ride to the Overlook was filled with Zechs' questions about Keifer. Each of which Kali answered in a manner that would make Zechs happy. They got to the Overlook and got out of the car. Zechs looked around at the ideal "parking" spot for his beloved. "Where is he?" he asked.

"He's right over there," Kali answered, pointing to where the trees started, "behind that clump of trees." As Zechs walked to where she had pointed, Kali got the baseball bat out of the trunk. She had discovered it there during a pit stop at a convenience store.

Kali walked up behind the oblivious Zechs and swung. 'Crack.' Right to the back of the head. 'Batter up,' Kali thought, before she went to work setting up the things she would need to extract revenge from the now unconscious rapist.

Zechs was so excited when Katherine told him they were going to see Keifer. It was almost enough to drag him from his drug-induced haze. He had started snorting crack the day after Keifer left. But now, he was going to see him again!

Zechs knew his darling loved him; he'd known since the first time they made love. It had been so great, even if he had to talk his beloved into it at first. But Zechs knew that Keifer loved it by how much he screamed. They had made love several times that night. And now, they could make love again! All he had to do was find his baby. "Keifer, where are you?" Zechs called out. He didn't see the bat coming until it was too late.

He came to handcuffed to the door handle in the back seat of a car. Something, other than that, was wrong, but he didn't know what. "Hello," he said. Or rather, he tried to say. No sound came out of his mouth, his lips didn't even move. Suddenly, he said something, but it wasn't him who said it. "Please stop," his mouth said in a voice that wasn't his. Zechs recognized the voice as Keifer's.

'What's going on?' he thought, as a body settled on him.

"Hello, baby," the body said. "I'm glad you're awake. I didn't expect the drugs to knock you out for so long." Zechs tuned out the voice as Keifer opened his eyes and he could see. Zechs gasped as he saw that the body above him was none other than his own. Or rather, he would have gasped if he had any control over this body.

Zechs suddenly realized that he could hear Keifer's thoughts. 'No, no, no, no, no, no,' he heard the boy think. 'Not this, anything but this.'

'This isn't how it happened,' Zechs thought as a large object plunged into his and Keifer's entrance, ripping it and making them bleed. 'I didn't rape him. We made love."

"About time you woke up," Kali said to the now spread-eagled Zechs when he regained consciousness. "I was just about to start without you. Now I'm glad I don't have to." She laughed when Zechs flinched at that.* "Did you enjoy you little present?" she asked, referring to the vision she had sent him while he was in La-la land.

"Now, Kali said. "I was going to draw and quarter you, but then I realized that I don't know how. So," she picked up a container of lighter fluid. "I thought I'd have a bonfire instead." She poured the flammable liquid all over him. Zechs screamed as she threw a lit match on him.

Catherine stared through the trees at the glowing girl. '*This* is the girl I'm supposed to advise?' she thought. 'A girl who lights people on fire.

*Zechs says this to Heero in the rape scene. Thanks to everybody who had reviewed so far.
