Holiday From Hell Chapter 1 - The Middle of Nowhere Out of all the holidays, this one is going to be the
worst Duo decided as he grudgingly packed his suitcase for 3 months
of living in a cabin in the middle of a forest. In truth, that wasn’t
what made Duo decide this was a holiday trip in Hell. He was going
with his father’s best friend, including his family, which included
their 16-year old computer geek son. Duo didn’t mind the Yuy
family; Odin, the man of the family, was nice enough and his wife
April was also very nice and pretty. The two young daughters Hilde,
8 years old, and Dorothy, 11 years old, were extremely friendly and
happy. It was Heero that Duo couldn’t stand. He had been brought
up with the boy, their birthdays both in mid August, barely a week
apart. Duo’s father, Solo Maxwell, had met Odin Yuy back in collage,
and since then the two men had been inseparable. Their wedding day
had been on the same day. They worked side by side to make cars. They
made new designs and sold them to other companies. It brought in money,
and Duo and his twin sister Relena had been given enough money to
see them through not only their lives, but their children’s as
well, both did not need to work a single day in their life. Heero
and his sisters were in the same boat. And, as usual, the two families were sharing a holiday.
It happened every year, around Duo, Relena, and Heero’s birthday.
It normally lasted a week, and just that was enough to drive Duo insane.
But this summer was different. School had just ended and the very
first day of the holiday would be spent with Duo sitting in the back
of a boiling hot car, travelling to a cabin and spending 3 months
there before travelling home the day before school began. Duo zipped his suitcases shut. He was going for 3 months,
taking with him 2 suitcases, an overnight bag, his hi-fi system, his
laptop, his CD collection, his ten favourite computer games, his hand
held TV, all his dvds and videos… the list could go on, but you
get the idea. It’s a good thing that the car they were going
in was an 8 seater with a luggage rack. “DUO! Are you ready to go?” Solo stuck his
head into his son’s room. Duo snapped his watch around his wrist and pick up his
bags…well, some of his bags. Solo grabbed the rest. “I guess so.” “It won’t be that bad. Anyway, you haven’t
seen Heero since Easter. He might have changed Duo snorted. “In 3 months? Get real Dad.” Solo sighed and followed his son out of the room and down the stairs towards the girls, who were waiting in the hall ready to go. * * * The car journey was uneventful, with them having to
return home three times; once, because Duo had forgotten his mobile,
the second was when Relena had left her makeup behind, and the third
time was to grab the dog from the back yard. Shinigami was Duo’s dog, and he looked after her,
which he normally did, but due to the fact that Duo was in a bad mood,
he had forgotten about his poor animal and was quite willing to leave
her there. So obviously, Shinigami wasn’t very happy with the
turn of events, although she would forgive Duo once she had bitten
Heero’s ass. Duo didn’t train her to do that…honest! There was also the hour of the day when baby Jane threw
up over Relena’s skirt. She was forced to change in the only
toilet in a public garage with Duo standing guard outside to make
sure no man tried to enter. “It’s a good thing that the Yuy’s aren’t
arriving until tomorrow, otherwise, they would be waiting for us.”
Solo laughed as they finally left the motorway. The journey was a
6 hour drive, however, due to certain…circumstances, took 11
hours instead. They still had an hour journey to the small city of
Eaton (2) and then the hour drive through the forest to the cabin..
Baby Jane had already fallen asleep in Duo’s arm, chewing on
the tip of his braid. Relena was dozing, her head resting on Duo’s
chest. Although Duo and Relena were twins, you wouldn’t
have guessed it by looking at them. Duo had long chestnut brown hair
pulled back into a braid, while Relena had dark blond hair, pulled
together at the back. Their eyes were the same colour, light violet
that sometimes looked cobalt blue, and sometimes looked violet depending
on lighting. Duo gained his looks from his mother, her own hair was
long and chestnut in colour, but she chose to wear her hair down most
of the time. Relena had received Solo’s looks, though his dark
blond hair was nearly all gone now. It was Helen, their mother, that
had violet eyes, they shone in the gathering night. “It would be a good thing if the Yuy’s weren’t
coming at all.” Duo grumbled. Relena hit him lightly in the chest
and mumbled, “There is nothing wrong with the Yuys. They’re
nice people.” “Apart from Heero.” “Heero is just misunderstood by you.” Helen
explained, turning around in her seat to glare at her children. “Sorry. I forgot how much this family loves Heero.” “Just because he was born before you…” “By about three days.” “I think Heero is rather cute.” Relena said,
nuzzling deep into her brother’s chest. “He’s a nerd.” Duo snorted. Solo looked
into the rear view mirror at his son’s reflection. “I know how you feel about Heero, Duo, but please,
for us, will you at least try to be nice?” “How about I stay out of his way, and he stays
outta mine?” “Duo!” “Okay, okay. I promise.” Solo smiled at his son. “It won’t be as bad
as you think it will be.” “Maybe.” The car lapsed into silence. * * * They finally pulled to a stop outside the cabin at around
midnight. Behind the cabin lay a lake, where, presently, water could
be heard splashing against the bank. As Duo climbed out of the car
carrying his sister out of the car - Relena, not Jane - he looked
at the trees that surrounded the cabin and lake. It was beautiful here, especially at sunset and sunrise.
Duo made a silent promise that he would be awake to see the sunrise
before the peace was disturbed by the arrival of the Yuy family. Duo carried Relena up to a single bed-room on the first
floor of the cabin, tucking her away before returning down to help
his father with the luggage which was put in the large kitchen and
left there. Helen took Jane to the nursery beside the room that she
and Solo would sleep in and settled the baby in. She gave Duo a peck
on the cheek before taking her overnight bag and disappearing into
her room, with Solo bidding Duo a good night and also entering the
bedroom. Duo grabbed his own stuff; it took him four trips to
get everything he had brought from the ground flour to the second
floor. The cabin belonged to the Maxwell’s; this was where
they spent Christmas every year, with the Yuys, of course. They all
had their rooms. The two boys, Duo and Heero, slept in the two rooms
that were located at the top of the house. There was also a bathroom
there, which they shared and a double spare room for when people came
to visit. The first floor had five bedrooms, two double bedrooms,
one twin rooms, one nursery, and one single room. Also on that floor
was one bathroom for the girls to share and an en suite in each of
the double rooms for the parents to use. Downstairs was the kitchen,
the den, the living room, another bathroom, a playroom, a dining room,
and a storage room in which you would find things like bikes and axes
and Duo’s motorbike, which he was allowed to use only when on
holiday. That made up the Maxwell’s Holiday Cabin. Duo didn’t bother to unpack anything, apart from his night robe, hairbrush, and alarm clock. He set his alarm clock for 5 am, stripped to his boxers, climbed into bed and promptly fell asleep. * * * True to his word, Duo was up and about at 5 in the morning.
Not bothering to dress, as it was warm outside, he wrapped his night
robe around his body, pulled on his trainers and hurried downstairs,
out into the crispy morning air. The sun had only just begun to rise
when Duo reached the edge of the lake. He sat down upon a rock and
watched the sun shine colours onto the lake, cabin, and forest. Its
warm rays heated Duo’s face and he breathed in deeply. There was something about the country that relaxed Duo.
Whenever he came - Winter, Spring, Summer, or Autumn - he would always
rise early in time to see the sun rise on the first day. In Duo’s
eyes, it was just magical. He knew the kids at school would laugh.
He, Duo Maxwell, the jock, sitting watching the sunrise like a girl.
Duo was anything but a girl, although he had girlish features and
a slender frame. Hidden in that frame were muscles that could easily
win a basketball match or a cross-country run or a boxing match. Name
a sport, and Duo had won it some time in his life. “I wish Heero wasn’t coming; he’s so…so
stuck up.” Duo growled as the sun finally rose. He stood up slowly
and walked forward. He kicked his trainer off a foot and dipped his
foot into the cold water, smiling as he heard his mother calling him
from the cabin. “Coming!” ~ * ~ (1) I know, Relena Maxwell, I needed to put her in somewhere. |
