place immediately following A Bump In The Darkness.
Intruder In The Night “Ow! Damn!” “Heero? Are you alright?” //I wish she would stop asking me that. Where are the windows? I’ve somehow got myself turned around in the dark.// “Heero?” “I just… found some more furniture.” “Oh.” “You are alright?” “Yes.” She did not like the pitch darkness and he regretted pulling her into the room with him but how was he to know there would be a power failure? He needed to find the windows and put some light on the situation. Hopefully it was simply a power failure and there was no one with ill intent lurking in the palace hallways. “Heero?” “It’s alright. Nearly there.” At least he hoped he was. Feeling his way along the side of the bed he located the wall and grinned. He could follow the wall to the windows and that would spare him tripping over the furniture. He could feel himself tensing up to the point he wanted to strike out and hit someone. For their sakes he hoped there was no lurker in his vicinity. The crash of breaking porcelain froze him to the spot and he spun, trying to penetrate the darkness. “Relena!” “It wasn’t me!” His unease now bordering on panic Heero ran his hand along the wall and in his hurry felt the mat beneath his feet slip on the highly polished floor. With arms flailing he barely saved himself from a pratfall and snarled silently. At least Relena had not seen that ungraceful moment. “We’ll laugh about this tomorrow.” He paused and after a moment snorted. She was right. There was nothing wrong, it was just a power failure and he was stupid to panic but he could not forget they were not alone in the room. Someone was in here with them and he or she had not offered a disarming comment to assure them they were a friend. “Yeah. We will.” Cloth. His fingers closed on heavy velvet fabric and he could not help the sigh of relief. He had found the windows. Stepping forward he grasped the material and pulled with a flourish. The curtain swooshed aside easily and moonlight flooded the room. With a confident stride he grasped the other curtain and opened the window fully to bathe the room in welcome light. “Nelson!” Spinning Heero saw the black kitten crouched over the shattered remains of what had once been an expensive vase. “Naughty kitten! You frightened the life out of me.” Relena giggled. “Mmrreow.” Blinking Heero looked up from the cat and his grin of relief at their needless panic froze on his face. He was so not telling anyone about this. “What is it? Are you hurt?” Relena took a step forward, her smile fading in sudden concern. There was no help for it, he would have to draw her attention to it. “Turn around, Relena.” Suddenly afraid Relena spun around and stared… at the open closet door. “So, ahm, do you want to try the light switch?” She giggled.
