Halloween Drabble 25
Duo shifted uncomfortably on the chair the natives had insisted that he sit on. How the hell had he gotten into this situation?
Thunder rumbled in the distance. Right. The storm. Damn wave had washed him right off the deck. He hoped his crew was okay- and Heero too.
Hell, Heero had to be frantic right now. Right before the wave had swept him under he'd heard Heero yell his name.
At least he'd been lucky enough to wash up here. Wherever here was... he hadn't been able to make the natives understand him at all.
He sighed and shifted again. They were performing some sort of ritual- dancing around a huge bonfire. He really hoped they weren't planning on throwing him in at the end- but they hadn't tied him to the chair, so he must not be the main course.
The fire was huge and now the natives were tossing things into it- carrots, spices- was that a pumpkin? It was hard to tell in the dark. Duo wondered if it was some kind of roast.
The dancing changed and two of the men dragged something out of the shadows.
Heero. Bound and gagged, he sagged unconscious between the two men. Duo jumped to his feet, but the natives got in his way, pushing him back. He struggled with them, but they held him tightly.
"Heero! No! Let me go! Heero!!"
Heero didn't stir. Duo froze as one of the men grinned at him, tilting Heero's head back enough for Duo to see the cut across his throat.
"NO!"
Duo sat up in bed, panting hard, dripping with sweat.
"Duo?" Heero stirred, blinking up at his Captain. "What's wrong?"
Duo sucked in air, and then reached up to undo the rope that held Heero's wrists to the bed frame. "You let me fall asleep without untying you?"
"You were tired." His cabin boy smiled. "I was comfortable. Are you okay?"
Duo nodded. "I'm fine. But don't ever let me eat pumpkin pie off your chest before going to bed again."
