Halloween Drabble 16
Quatre shut the door behind Duo. "You're right on time."
"Where's Trowa?" Duo asked as he dropped his bag in the hallway.
"Oh... he's around somewhere." Quatre frowned. "But let's not worry about him. I want to show you my collections."
"Okay," Duo said agreeably and followed Quatre down a hallway. "What kind of collection?"
"It's a collection of wax figures. All quite realistic." Quatre frowned again. "Trowa says they're creepy but I think he just hasn't gained a true appreciation of the figures."
"I'm sure he just needs to spend some time with them," Duo said and Quatre laughed. For some reason Duo didn't like that laugh. It made him shiver.
"I'm sure you're right. In fact," he grinned, "I think he'll be gaining a new appreciation of them quite soon."
Quatre flung open a door and ushered Duo inside. Wax figures lined the walls. Most of them were of historical figures and Duo marveled at the realistic faces.
"It's a very secret process, handed down over the ages," Quatre said. "I finally managed to discover it- it took quite a bit of time. A person needs to be very dedicated to the art to discover it. I started my own line of figures only a few days ago- let me show you." He guided Duo down the row a few more steps. "You see?"
The figure was Trowa, standing in a relaxed pose, a faint smile on his lips.
It was very realistic looking. Duo swallowed hard.
"That reminds me, shouldn't Trowa have joined us by now?"
Quatre shrugged. "We don't really need him here do we? Not when we have this..." He reached up and caressed the figure's cheek. "This one never goes away- he stays with me always."
He looked at Duo, and a mad light shone in his eyes. "I don't like being alone. You only visit occasionally- the others even less. I want you with me..." He gestured to the empty pedestals beside Trowa's and smiled. "You agree, don't you? You won't make me hurt you- like Trowa did?"
Duo backed away. "What do you mean?" Quatre stepped down off the platform.
"I told you. Trowa was always gone- the circus, visiting Kathy... he won't be doing that anymore..." And he started laughing.
Duo fled.
"That worked a little too well," Trowa said as he stepped off the platform.
"Well that should pay him back for that Halloween prank of his last year." Quatre laughed. "C'mon let's go catch him before he runs all the way back to L2."
