All his life, all he could remember was the running. His mother had been running when he was born, or so his older brother, by one year, told him. He'd spent the entire fifteen years of his life running through fields and hiding in old buildings, rotted out trees and even in lakes where he could duck his head among the reeds. The running never seemed to end; it was simply a fact of life. Run or worse would happen to you. They hadn't even stopped running when their mother had died. She'd simply pushed them on and they'd ran, only to discover an hour later that she hadn't followed.
They were alone then. But they hadn't gone back.
Never look back.
Never look back when death was chasing at your heels.
Well the running had finally stopped now, but that hadn't made anyone happy. In fact, it was worse now. No more running when you were placed in a cage. And from there? No one ever returned to tell what happened after that.
Duo growled at the tall blond guard who tossed him and his brother into the large cage among the other prisoners they'd caught. Immediately Duo raced to the edge of the cage, reaching his arms through and catching the back of the guard's armor. Yanking hard he pulled the guard back against the metal bars, causing him to hiss in pain as his head hit painfully. Pulling out of Duo's grasp he whirled on the boy, using his long pole like weapon to send Duo flying into the back of the cage, where he hit the wall and rolled onto the floor, holding his head. His brother quickly raced to his side, while the others watched in fear.
They all knew better. They all knew that Duo shouldn't have done anything, he probably wouldn't live long enough now to repeat that mistake. As the blond guard walked away Duo cringed in the corner, holding his head and fighting desperately to hold onto consciousness. He didn't want to fall asleep, not here and not now. But no matter how hard he fought it was useless.
His consciousness slipped away as his older brother, Trowa, held him tightly. He prayed silently his brother would wake up to a safer place, but he knew those prayers would probably never be answered.
