Disclaimer: Mwahahahahahahahahaha! I don't own Gundam Wing, but I sure as hell own SOMETHING! And that something is this storyline.

A/N: I'm back! Kinda disappointed that A Soldier's Dream didn't get many reviews from FF.N though....but hey, that's how it goes! I'm working on 2 Gundam Wing fics right now so that is why it took a while for this chapter to get out. I just discovered something! If any of you happen to have the Run Lola Run (my favorite movie in the world) soundtrack or Run Lola Run mp3's like Running One, Running Two, Introduction, Somebody Has To Pay or Believe, it REALLY adds to the pace and atmosphere of the fic. So I strongly suggest that you listen to it while reading, but you don't HAVE to. As for the story of this fic, it's about Heero (vampire) and his mental struggles over Lucretzia (vampire) and Relena (human). Enough of my babbling, on with the fic!

Chapter 5

' Find her.'

' Find the girl.'

' Lucretzia will not be pleased.'

' She might have gone this way.'

' No to the left.'

' Find her.'

Heero grasped his head in agony. ' Voices, so many voices.' Whispers clouded his thoughts, harsh and dark. Another growl escaped Heero's lips as he tried to concentrate on where the girl had gone. Clenching his teeth, he ignored the voices and pushed on through the crowd of nobles, all sending him strange glances. Yet the voices didn't go away.

' Find her!'

' You must get her away from Milliardo.'

The voices got more urgent, more forceful. Heero's breathing deepened as he looked from face to face, trying to identify Relena. The voices mangled together, getting harsher every time, but among those voices, one was different. It was the one that stood out in Heero's mind the most, yet it was the quietest.

' Leave the girl alone...she has nothing to do with this struggle.'

Heero stopped abruptly, taking in a deep breath. He had no choice, he couldn't leave her alone, it was orders. He had to follow orders, orders from Lucretzia. But that girl is so innocent, she has no idea of what is to come. No time. Making his decision, Heero continued through the crowd. He is going to find that girl, somehow...

* * * * * * * * * * *

'The stairs, this is where I last saw my brother...' Relena stared, eyes curious, to what lay before her. Curious. It seemed more as if she was fearful. A gut feeling told her to stay away, to run away, at any costs not to follow the path of the stairs. Why was she scared?

Relena cautiously climbed the stairs, her heart beating fast and her mind screaming for her to turn around and run. Run, she can't run. There is nothing to be afraid of she told herself, nothing at all. Finally, she had reached the top.

Quietly, Relena searched the many darkened rooms. The floor boards creaking underneath her footsteps. Looking into one of the bedrooms, the young girl found nothing but a slight chill in the air. She pressed on to the other rooms awaiting her. One after another, all empty. She had searched every room...except one. The library. Why would that women take her beloved brother up here in the dark? A shiver went up Relena's spine. Something was near. Something evil...

* * * * * * * * * * *

Faces. So many Faces. How could he tell Relena from the other 50 female guests at this party?

' Because Relena is far more beautiful...'

' Stop it Heero, get your senses together and find the girl!'

Once again, his mind debated with itself, filling Heero's head with voices. He was going mad! How could one girl lead to this? No. It's not the girl's fault. He blamed an innocent for what he has done. He has lead to his own destruction. Every day waiting and following Lucretzia, his once beloved...Once? No! She is still his beloved, she has just been...preoccupied.

Damn it Duo! Where is he!? The girl is nowhere to be found, and Duo is gone! Heero narrowed his eyes. He had searched every where. Where could the girl have gone?

* * * * * * * * * * *

" Milliardo?" Relena whispered. Her voice strained to say her brother's name, but it was caught in her throat. As if she was afraid to say it.

" I am not afraid. I am not afraid. I am not afraid. I am not afraid. I am not afraid..."

The girl saw the last door. He had to be in their. Just a little bit further. Down at the end of the hallway. Muffled voices came from the doorway, and Relena quickly recognized her dear brother's voice. She couldn't make out what he was saying, but she could tell that the strange lady was with him.

Relena took a step toward the library, a loud creak echoed throughout the hall. She stopped, her breathing stopped. Do they know she's here? Silence. The muffled voices could not be heard anymore. A panic started to arise in Relena. She couldn't take it. Her heart couldn't take it. Turning the iron knob, she opened the door. Shock came over Relena as she tried to scream. Nothing came out.

* * * * * * * * * *

Quatre was ready to go home. First, the man of the house left and now his sister. He sighed deeply as he took one last sip of his champagne filled glass. Why did he bother to come? He didn't really like parties, they just made him feel depressed. Actually the only reason why he came was because of Miss. Dorothy. Of course, he didn't have enough courage to dance with her. So she left with Relena's brother. Sighing again, he gathered his coat as he put down his now empty glass. Well he won't have to deal with his lack of courage now, he's leaving.

Standing up, the blond slipped his coat on before feeling a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he came face to face with Dorothy, who was looking questionably at him. ' Damn courage...'

" M-Miss D-Dorothy!"

" Quatre...are you leaving?"

" Um...ah..."

" Have you seen Mr. Milliardo? He seemed to have disappear."

Anger rose in Quatre as his eyes narrowed. He should have known.

" No Miss. Dorothy. Now will you excuse me..."

Quatre angrily walked away, leaving a bewildered Dorothy behind.

* * * * * * * * * *

Time seemed to have stand still. Relena was frozen. She couldn't move, she couldn't speak. All she could do was stare at scene before her. Her brother. Her brother was deathly pale, his eyes void of any shine. That women. That evil woman. What had she done to him?

Milliardo fell to his knees, his hair falling behind his back, exposing his neck. Two marks, two bite marks were on his pale neck. Looking from her brother to the woman, Relena's eyes widened. The woman wiped the blood from her mouth, staring at Relena with delight. Feeling her voice come back, Relena let out an ear-splitting scream. Lucretzia covered her ears in agony as the young girl continued screaming.

Relena closed her eyes as tears spilled over her cheeks. They were quickly opened as she felt a hand clamp over her mouth. Looking up, she found a man staring down at her. A man she had never seen before.

Duo placed his other hand around Relena's waste before forcefully taking her down the stairs. Relena kicked and tried to scream again, but her scream was muffled by the stranger's hand. It was no use, the man was far too strong.

Duo pushed through the crowd, trying to find the door to leave this mansion. He couldn't hold the girl for much longer. Guests stared curiously at him as they passed him by. ' I can take Relena somewhere safe so I can speak to her...but where?'

The braided vampire scanned the ballroom, looking for an exit. This gave Relena the chance to do something. Quickly, she bit Duo's hand as hard as she could, leading him to jump with a yelp. Having been freed, Relena screamed again.

All's attention was turned to the girl. Duo knew he had made a mistake, and regretted paying for it later. The men ran to Relena's aid, leaving their wives, to see what was wrong. The sight that layed before them was a braided man baring his fangs. They all froze in shock. One man cried VAMPIRE! And the ballroom was filled with screams and shouts. Chaos. Chaos filled the room as the guest scrambled about, trying to find the exit.

Seeing her opportunity, Relena broke free of Duo's grip and disappeared into the crowd. Duo looked down to where Relena once was and shifted his eyes to the chaotic crowd. Cursing, he pushed on through the crowd after her.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Heero immediatly looked up as he heard a man scream VAMPIRE. He didn't even have to guess to know that Duo did something. Damn! Screams erupted around him, his view clouded by people running.

' That girl did this.'

' Find her!'

' Before she gets away!'

People. So many people. Heero looked from one to another, taking in their faces. All were running to the exit behind him. All but two.

Heero spotted a long braid and knew instantly that one was Duo. Heero started to run to the braided vampire, but was stopped quickly as someone slammed into him. Looking down, he found a blonde girl, tears running down her face. She regained composure before running off in the other direction, towards the stairs. Heero watched the girl leave as Duo found his way to him.

" Who was that?"

Duo was breathless, as he examined his friend who kept staring at the girl.

Blonde. Azure eyes. Blonde. Azure eyes. That was her! That was Relena! Heero took off with speed as he followed the girl, trying to catch up, leaving Duo standing there confused.

A/N: YAY! Another chapter out! Well, whatcha think? By the way, did I mention this was going to be a loooooong story. I thought it wasn't going to be that many chapters, but I realized there is a lot more to write about. These first chapters are just the beginning of the series. I'm actually thinking about doing a sequel, since I already know how it ends. Poor Quatre...I just had to make him the gentleman type that is polite and nice, even though he has the worst luck (ahem Dorothy). I love Quatre anyway! Anyway, please review, cuz I haven't added to this story in a while, and I don't know if anyone still reads it. Byes!
