The Darkest Hour: Quatre's Point of View

by Silver Foxfire



Oh, my. I so hate these battles. It only leads to more destruction. Why was it only Duo and I were sent on this mission? We were so terribly outnumbered. Hmm? What is that? Was that Duo? It sounded almost likea... groan.

"Duo?"

"Yeah?" His voice, it sounds strained...

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I know that I mustsound a bit motherly, but he is my best friend... I am concerned for him.

"I'll be OK, Q. Come on! Let's go home!" Hmm... something still isn't right...

"Okay, Duo. I'll show you the way." Thank Allahthat it is only a mile or so away. Then i will be able to see what is wrong.

Ah, good. This is one of my family's Ah, good. This is one of my family�s smaller estates. The hangar our Gundams are to be stored in, is near to the house, less than half a mile away. Ah, Sandrock, you almost always land so perfectly, and nowis no exception. Huh? That's very odd... Deathscytheseems to be... wobbling?

DUO! Oh, Allah!

"Duo?! Duo, are you all right?!" No answer!

TROWA! Oh, thank the Lord you are here, my beloved!

"Quatre? What happened?" Oh, Trowa..

"Trowa, somwthing's wrong with Duo... He crashed, now he isn't answering or coming out." Oh, thestinging in my eyes...

My voice is trembling as I see Wufei and Heero runinto the hangar.

"Maxwell!" Wufei... you look so lost...

"Duo!" It's hard not to cry at the pain in your voice Heero...

I see you climbing up the horizontal form of Deathscythe, my heart being torn apart with every step. You force open the hatch with nothing butyourself. Oh, no, Duo!

"Oh, Allah, Duo!" Oh, Trowa! Release me! Let me goto Duo!

Little One, we must prepare the necessary toolsfor Heero. He will have to fix Duo's wounds." Yes, we must helpDuo... but I cannot hold back my cries...

"Come, Little One..." You're so good to hold onto, Trowa... my anchor...

"I will collect the medical kit. Trowa, perhaps youshould stay with Quatre." You lead me out socarefully, my Trowa... I know that you think that I'm weak, Wufei... for letting my tears fall...

"Little One..."

Sniffle. "Yes, Trowa?"

What happened in the battle."

"We... we were outnumbered, ten to one... I triedto help him... but... but I was.... just too far... too far away..." The tears fall again... perhaps I am weak...

Oh, Trowa... you always know how to make me feel better. Your arms around me gives strength, and yourlight kisses to my forehead calms me... even when I feel utterlyhideous...

"My Angel, it was not your fault... Don't everbelieve that. It was NOT your fault." Oh, but itwas...

It WAS NOT your fault, Quatre... It wasn't yourfault..." How do you always know what is in my heart?

"I know because I love you, Quatre. I love you."

"Trowa..." You are so strong, my Trowa. Alwayskeeping me safe from the demons of the night.

"Come, Little One. Let us go inside, they may needhelp with Duo."

Nod.

I am so tired. The battle was so hard... darknesscreeps into my mind... I can't stop it.

"Sleep, My Angel..." As you wish, Trowa...

"NO! NO!" Duo?!

"Come quick, Angel."

The halls don't seem to even be there, I am runningso quickly...

Duo...

"Duo! Stop! It'll be over soon! You have to staystill!" Oh, Heero... Such pain is revealed in yourvoice...

I think Duo heard it too... Is that why you are solimp now, Duo?

"Please... please... let me go... don't hurt meanymore... it hurts... it hurts... it hurts... Heero... keep them away... please... don't let themhurt me... Heero... Heero... Heero..." What?! Duo! Doyou mean... no... no... please, Allah, don't let itmean... don't let it mean that... not to him... Don't let him have the same pain in his past as mybeloved...

"Shit... Wufei, let him go." So silent you are nowDuo... It frightens me... Too... quiet... NO!

Oh, Lord, NO! DUO! No, Duo! Don't leave! NO!

"DUO! DUO, PLEASE!" Oh no... please no... Heero...I'm so sorry...

"DUO! COME ON, DUO!" Duo... please, Duo... it's allmy fault... forgive me Heero...

"Duo... oh, please, Duo... don't leave..." Hotwater falls down my cheeks.

"DUO! DON'T GIVE UP!" If only I'd come to help himsooner... all my fault...

Heero?" Duo?!

Duo... hold him forever, Heero... don't let him go...

"Oh, Duo! You scared us so much!" My arms embraceyou now, Duo... I am thankful to feel the heat return to it...

Trowa... my Trowa... You hold us all in your powerful limbs, so careful not to hurt us... but something... someONE is missing... Wufei...

"Duo?" Wufei I've never heard your voice trembleso... advancing ever so slowly... are you afraid we willreject you? Never... we love you too, Wufei...

Oh, this is perfect... all of us together... neverto be apart again...
